LELANDE APPOINTS
THIRTY DEPUTIES
Majority of Incumbents in County
Clerk's Office to Retain
Their Positions
Harry J. Lelande. county clerk
elect, announced last night thirty of
the thirty-six appointments he will
make in the county clerk's office.
Many of the Incumbents will retain
their positions as long as they give
g-ood service, and If the legislature ap
plies civil service to county deputies
nnd clerks, as is expected, they will
have the opportunity to hold their jobs
for a lifetime if they ;ire competent.
Perhaps the most drastic change
that Lelande proposes is to appoint
R. S. Sparks his chief deputy. This
will remove Andy Francisco, who has
held the position so long that people
began to regard it as his right. Sparks,
who is to succeed Francisco, has been
deputy county auditor and tax collect
or for a number of years and is thor
oughly acquainted with the business of
the clerk'.s office. The chief deputy
receives a salary of $2100 a year.
There is a certainty that a new
registration clerk will lip appointed,
and he is likely to be L. F. I^ampton.
Lelande has not definitely decided this
question yet, but he has appointed
Ijnmpton as office deputy so as to have
him handy if he wants him for the
registration bureau. R. M. Brown now
holds this position.
D. S. Eurson is to remain ns cashier
and bookkeeper nnd J. D. McFarren
will remain as clerk of the board of
supervisors. The office deputies are:
Elmer Riggins, rjeorge K. Ross. Wal
ter Hoover, 1,. F. I.,ampton, W. C.
Watson of Pasadena. Brainerd Smith,
P. B. Speara of South Pasadena, An
drew Robertson, J. 11. Parker, S. E.
Brown of Tropico, all holdovers, nnd
Irving Baxter, Thomas McAleer,
Charles P. Glaze. J. A. Campbell of
Qardena, A. L. Stephens and W. M.
K^rr, new appointees.
For court clerks Mr. Lelande has
chosen W. I/. Warne, Judge Rives'
court; H. B. Blakeley, Judge Conrey's
court; Thomas Colvllle of Pasadena,
Judgo Monroe's court: o. 1.,. LJvesey,
Judge Finlayson's court: Sam Kutz,
Judge. Wilbur's court: George Monroe
of Monrovia. Judg-e Bordwell'a court,
:;11 holdovers, and the following new
ones: Schuyler Cole of Colegrove,
Judge Hutto'n's court: D. R. Dwyer of
Pomona, Judge Wood's court, and Ed
ward Ij. Klnney, Judge Craig's court.
There are. still several courts to be
supplied, and it is not for lack of ap
plicants that they have not been
chosen. Mr. L,elande is trying to pick
the best material and proposes to take
his time doing it. although the rest
of the appointments may be an
nounced Wednesday.
Mr. Lelande Intended to tender his
resignation us city dork to the council
today, but he lias been urged to stay
"on the job" until the first of the year
and has consented. Ho expected to
take a vacation before assuming his
iliitins n.s county clerk, but he will
have to jump from one position into
the other v.-lthout any rest.

FANS LIKE IDEA
OF GRIDIRON DAY
Manager Pat Wheelan Reports
Nice Progress on Christmas
Program of Comparisons
The Los Angeles high school Rugby
football team has been signed to play
against Polytechnic high school in the
big football carnival to be given by
Pat Wheelan on Christmas. The Los
Angeles team, as a whole, will not
be able to take part, as three of the
boys are on the Injured list and two
are out on account of parental objec
tions, but the other mombers of the
fifteen, which Include those signed by
Wheelan, are glad of the choice, not
only of going up against Polytechnic
high school, but of proving that the
Rugby game is better than any of the
four styles to be played in the carnival
on Bovard field.
After the Rugby contest Saturday,
when the best game of the season was
pulled off before an enthusiastic crowd
of 2000 persons, the Rugby adherents
were extremely confident that they
can win In the popular contest and
that the winning team of the two will
secure the trophy to be offered.
Polytechnic high school expects to
have its best ten in out, including most
of last year's aggregation, and the
boys were out last night practicing
hard. They are in fine spirits and
Joyous at the idea of again entering
some kind of athletics.
Coach Walter' Rheinschild will be
unable to guide the St. Vincent team
because of business matters, but*
Coach Ralph Ratfer, who played at
St. Vincent's last year and this year
coached the U. S. C. preps, has taken
hold and will tutor the Saints in the
old stylo of American football, at
which he was an adept some years
ago. He remembers the features
thoroughly and says he will turn out a
team that will win against the In
dians.

PROPERTY OWNERS
BAR RACE TRACK
Agricultural Park Improvement
Again Confronted by Tan
gle of Objections
Agricultural park is In a tangle again
and W. M. Bowen, secretary of the
' Sixth District Agricultural association,
I told the park commission yesterday
that he was about ready to quit the
whole business and stop all improve
ments on the park.
Bowen's disgust was occasioned by
a protest registered before the park
commission yesterday morning by rep
resentatives of the West Vernon and
South Hoover Improvement associa
tions. The protestants object to the
plan to put the race track on the
ground which has been condemned
to add to the park and which they
must pay for.
They say that they were promised
the land that is to be added to the
park would be used for park purposes
only and that the race track is not a
park purpose, and faith has been
broken. They declared it was only
through them that the land could be
condemned because, if they had pro
tested, proceedings would have stopped.
If nothing else could be done, they
suggested that the barns for the
horse* be put underground.
Mr. Bowen said it was impossible tn
put the barns underground because
there is no deep sewer to drain them.
The race track has to be built, for
tbil la according to an agreement
with the harness horse owners who
have used Agricultural park for mat
inee races for a number of years. The
hone owners withdrew a suit they
had In erturt against the association
and aIM contributed money for the
benefit of the park, but only on condi
tion that a race track was established.
The park commission hopes some so
lution of the tangle may be found, and
yesterday employed W. D. Cook, jr., a
landscape engineer, to lay out plans
for the park that will put the race
track in some other location than the
one that has been chosen for it. This
will be a most difficult matter, but
the park commission has its hopes so
high that it ia willing to pay Mr. Cook
$800 to try.
CITIZENS WILL REQUEST
AMENDED BUILDING LAW
.The legislation committee ivill iv
port adversely to the counril today
on tho petition of H. C. Merritt of the
Spring Street company for an increase
in th" height of bulldlngc, but It is
expected that a battle royal will iie
velop over tho question on Hie floor
of the council, for a number of the
members are in favor of granting tho
amendment to the building ordinance,
and a petition signed by one hundred
prominent citizens, favoring the In
crease, will be presented.
In addition to advising the denial and
filing of the. Merritt petition, the legis
lation committee, will ask that the
height of buildings, as it is now fixed
in the ordinance, be Incorporated in
the new onartar, so that individuals
cannot ask for amendments.
Mr. Merritt asked the council to
amend the ordinance ho that he could
construct n building 233 feet high. He
promised it would be tho most beau
tiful building on the Pacific coast.
It was to bo twelve stories high and
surmounted by ornamental cupolas.
Anticipating opposition to the pro
posed change in the ordinance, Mr.
Merritt yesterday circulated a peti
tion among the prominent business
men of the city embodying an appeal
to th<> council to make the change
desired. Seventy-six signatures had
been obtained hist night, and Mr. Mer
ritt said he would have twenty-four
tnore before the council schsloii l>e
gtna this morning. The signatures am
tboae of well known flnni and promi
nent business men, including banks,
trust companies and eommercialhousea.
which they say Is not football at all.
The game they played at Praeger park
Sunday was but an appetizer to the
contest they expect to put up Christ
mas.
The XT. S. O. prepa are anxious to
get In the game and believe they can
hold their own with any college team
here under the old style taught them
by Coach Rader.
It Is probable that they will be given
a chance to tackle Whlttler college
instead of V. S. C. varsity In order to
make it an intersectlonal contest rath-
er than between two teams of the same
school. Coach Cromwell, while keen
for such a chance to show off the new
American game, Is not anxious to put
his varsity pets into suits asrain after
once breaking training, and he be
lieves that the preps would uphold the
honor of the school against tho
Quakers.
Whlttler has a good team this sea
son and defeated a team of all-stars
on Thanksgiving day. The Quakers
are always In training and are anxious
to make a n.-une for themselves in ath
letics. In "Rig" Reneker they have
the best fullback In the south.
The Rnnpcers and Thistles, the two
soccer teams, nre in the best of con
dition anil are looking forward to the
first time thnt they will have had the
opportunity to play before a large
crowd, for the renson that the public
not knowing much nbout soccer hns
never turned out in large rtumbers to
see them piny, as they have to see
Rugby and intercollegiate games.
In the old country, however, a good
soccer game never fails to draw at
least 20.000 persons, and on special oc
casions in Liverpool the attendance Is
known to have been in excess of
200,000.

MEETING TO TALK
MERGER ARRANGED
First Conference of Consolida
tion Commission and Out
siders Is Arranged
The first conference of the consoli
dation commission with outside dls-
tricts will be held Wednesday after
noon at 2:30 in the mayor's office when
the consolldattonista will meet the ex
ecutive committee of the committee of
twenty-one from the eastern part of
the county.
The committee of twenty-one is com
posed of the following: E. R. Jeffry,
Azusa; J. R. Randall, Artesia; D. J.
Schultis, Baldwin Park; J. O. Houser,
Covina; A. W. Richards, Claremont;
E. H. Converse, Glendora; F. A. Haz
zard, East Whittier; M. F. Quinn, El
Monte; E. C. Kenyon, Lordsburg; C.
C. Huff, Lordsburg; John H. Bartle,
Monrovia; Robert G. Avery, Monro
via; E. P. Truitt. Norwalk; A. T. Cur
rier, Pomona; Fred J. Smith, Pomona;
H. H. Klnney, Pomona; George E.
Cross, Puente; W. A. Johnstone, San
Dimas; Ralph Graham, Whittier and
A. Wardman, Whittier.
The executive committee is composed
of J. L. Matthews, chairman; H. N.
Wells, secretary, and the following
members:
E. R. Jeffry, C. H. Converse, Robert
C. Avery, Charles E. Walker, W. A.
Johnstone, A. Wardman and P. A.
Hazzard.
These people are not so particular
about becoming a part of the city gov
ernment of Los Angeles, but they do
want water from the Owens river and
If It is necessary to become part of
the city to get the water, will not
raise very vigorous objections.
Some of the members of the con
solidation commission have been at a
loss to, know If they are to consider
consolidation solely, or annexation as
well, and the distribution of water and
power. This was made clear yester
day when Mayor Alexander sent a
letter to the commission showing- plain
ly what he considered he had appoint
ed them for. The mayor's letter fol
lows:
"During the public discussions as to
how the city should dispose of its sur
plus Owens river water and power, It
was suggested that many of the diffi
culties of the problem, legal and oth
erwise, might be eliminated by taking
into the city, either by consolidation
or annexation, all territories to be
served by that water. It was with
that idea that I aaked the council to
authorize the appointment of your
commission. I consider that the pri
mary purpose of your appointment is
to determine the proper method of dis
posing of the city's surplus water and
power, anil that the secondary object
is the consideration of that other very
important subject of consolidation."
When the mayor's idea was known
the commission yeiterd&y morning de
cided that the tirst duty would be to
fix the boundaries of the proposed
new city with regard to the distribu
tion of the water and power. The
commission decided that these boun
daries will not be fixed so that^any
community shall consider it is entitled
to water because of advantageous lo
cation, but with a view to the most
desirable distribution.

LOOK FOR LYNCH
TO KEEP OFFICE
President of National League Is
Assured Support of Many
Leading Club Owners
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—The consen
sus of opinion of baseball men in this
city Is that should the National league
owners at their meeting here tomorrow
reach the election of officers, Thomas
J. Lynch, who has had the office of
president for a year, will be re-elected.
While ho may not get the vote of
all eight clubs, his supporters say he
is sure to have the backing of John
T. Brush, Garry Herrmann, John F.
Harris and Barney Dreyfus and per
haps the vote of Horaco S. Fogel. Fo«el,
howover, wants to find out first wheth
er the umpirei are to be allowed the
absolute powers they had last season.
Charles Ebbets, who hoped to get John
Montgomery .Word elected president
last winter, and C. W. Murphy of Chi
cago, who aided Ebbets in this plan,
limy have some candidate in reserve
whom they will run against Lynch, but
Lynch's adherents profess no fear of
the outcome.
At tomorrow's meeting all club own
ers except Brush will be present. He
is in San Antonio, Texas, and will wire
who shall represent tilm at the meet
ing.
With the National league meeting to
morrow and tho American league meet
ing Wednesday, New York is full of
baseball talent. President Johnson of
the American is already here. John
I, Taylor of Boston, an early arrival,
said he was willing to consideroffers
for any of his players except 9peaker
and Wagner.

THESPIAN RACES
WITH TIME; WINS
Pajama-Clad Actor Quits Stalled
Train in Auto to Reach
Here for Opening
George Beban, headliner at the Or
pheum this week, only saved his open
ing performance yesterday by a stren
uous auto ride down the coast from
Surf, and an expenditure of $75. And
then, Just to be perverse, the train
which he left stalled on the wrong side
of a wreck, and seemingly tied up £or
a. week, beat him into tne city.
Behan sent his "Thu Sign of the
Rose" company down here on the Sat
urday night train from Oakland, but
waited personally for the Sunday night
Lark. He was blissfully dreaming
away in his pink pajamas at an early
hour yesterday when the sudden stop
of the train awakened him. Piling out,
with apprehensive mien and an over
coat un, Beban inquired the trouble.
He was informed that a northbounu
train had gone into the ditch ;-outh of
Surf, and that a possible delay of
some hours was more than likely.
A hasty run to tho station at Surf
confirmed it. He knew that if he did
not arrive here by 3:30 yesterday after
noon he couldn't open, and he began
to see vision* of managerial anger to
say the least.
"Is there no way of getting a spe
cial out?" he asked the harassed sta
tion agent.
HIKES AN AUTOMOBILE
"How can we get a special through
when the regular oan't run?" was the
satisfactory reply.
Then Beban had an Inspiration.
"Has anybody in these diggings an
auto?" he asked.
"Nearest is at Gravlota. 20 miles."
Beban reached Graviota on the phone
and dickered for the auto.
"It will cost you $75," said the un
feeling owner.
"Will you guarantee to get me into
Los Angeles by 3:30?" asked Beban.
"We'll take you there if the machine
holds."
••It' you guarantee to make the
schedule you get the $75; not other
wise," was Beban's ultimatum.
The car mado the twenty miles from
Graviota in twenty-five minutes. With
an overcoat and his shoes and) pajamas
making up his attire, Boban hopped
in, gathering his luggage about him,
and the machine started. The only
stop was in Santa Barbara for a light
breakfast and some licjuid warmth.
Then the run on here was resumed,
iind at 3 o'clock the machine had Be
ban at the Orphcurn door. On the
way he had partly dressed, so no one
here realized the strange sight he made
earlier in thn day.
And on his nrrival the Orpheum man
iisement heaved a long breath—for the
delayed Lark had already reached the
city and no Beban was aboard.
"But the experience was worth the
$75," is Beban's consolatory view of
his rapid ride.
