LOS ANGELES, CaL, Sept. 21L.—At a recret colference of the oil-producers of this locality to-day measures were adopted which promise to give substantial relief to the situation produced within the past few months by overproduction, or rather e lack of facilities for marieting the surplus vil produced. Owing to this overproduciion the price of fuel oil has graduatiy declined until it | nad been seliing for 50 cents a barrel. It ) ia claimed by the producers, who number | apout 150, that there is no money in oil { when it must be sold at less than §la arrel. | “There are about 500 wells operated in Los Angeles City and its imriediate vi- cinity. Their toral capacity when in full is about 3500 barreis a dav. The local consumption is oniy about 3000 bar- rels. D-:spite the low pr.cesbrouzhtabout | by competition among the 1 roducers the | irplus of late had teen greatly increas- { ins, and it exceeded 100,000 barreis when the proposiiion to shutdown the wells was first put into execution. For about a week a committee of three, consisting of Waiter L. Young, Thomas O'Donnell and W. A. Lamb, has been ing among the producers to secure co-operation to the end that production may be kept within the limits of con- sumption. Heretofore it has been impos- sible to secure unanimity of action. This as now apparently been achieved, ana h few exceptions all the wells have beenshut down. They will vrobably re- main so until the 1st of October. | By that time it is expected that the 70,000 barrels that now constitute the sur pius will be workea off. Oil is now selling 1or §1 avarre!. At the conference to-day an organ'z tion was effected, in which it is hoved to | ude every prod of the most prominent and i ntial well- ners—J. A. Graves, B. Baruch. A. Hubba W. P. Book. L. G.

BRITT-BIGGY INCIDENT YET TALKED OF KING. | Rainey and Lanigan Fearful That the New Board Shall Basket the Heads of the Heelers. Britt’s passage at arms with Biggy on | Monday in the chambers of the Board of Supervisors is still the talk of the town, but as men in this country seldom resort to the code in settling their disputes the public canuot judge whether or not the incident has yet ended. Be this as it may the public is rejoicing over the fact that the ‘‘ex-Supervisors’” were ejected from the rooms of the board by the police, and that the new board fixed an equitable tax levy. The old board, made up of the late but | not lamented eight, was scheduled to | meet yesterday morning in the Fulton House. «Acting Mayor” Britt, ex-Sapervisors Sheehan, Morton, Delaney and Rivers were present at the appointed time. They waited and waited for Haskins, Devany | nd Smith to appear. *‘Mayor” Britt| finaily concluded that they must have ex- | verienced & bad night, ana, not being avle tocount a quorum, called a meeting of the *“board” tor 11 o’clock this morning. Britt and the others had nothing to say | about their plans. Their ejectment from the chambers of the Supervisors bumili- ated them a bit, and they wounld willingly | end their fight by throwing up the sponge | if Sam Rainey and Ned Lanigan had not persuaded them to battle to the end. Rainey and Lanni:an, the present bosses of the Democratic party, are particularly interested in the battle being waged by | From the siand- Rainey and Lanigan have in the neigh- borhood of 115 men working about the City kiall as clerks of the police courts, warrant clerks, prosecuting attorneys, jan- itors, police patrol drivers and gardeners. They were appointed to the places by the ousted board, which was controlled by these rtoiiticians. Now the bosses and | their heelers are fearful lest the new board throw them upon the cold, cold world to make an honest living. The new board intimated at one of its meetings that it would not protectany man in a po ition who owed his appoint- ment to alleg ance 10 a political boss. There is no question that the new board will oust the Rainey-Lanigan men, but the question arises as to who shall appoint their successors. There isa doubt in the minds of many politicians as to whether or not Mayor Phelan will be able to dictate appoint- ments to the board. While the majority of the members of the board are Dem- ocrats, some of them declare that they will appoint men of their own choice to fillany vacancies they might create. The matter of appointments will cause the first big wrangle in the new board. The attorneys and supporters of the old board declare that the new board will be knocked higher than a kite by the Su- preme Court. It is the intention of the old board to bring mandamus proceedings in the Supreme Court against the Auditor in case he determines to accept the tax By these proceedings the old board hopes to ascer- tain from the Supreme Court whether or notits appeal from the judgment of Judge Wallace actsas a stay of execution The “¢x-Sups.” are living in the hope that the Supreme Court will decide that their appeai acts as a stay, for then every acy of the new board would ultimately be declared illegal. If such a decision as they hope for should be handed down compli- cations that wiil throw the city’s finances into a tangle would be sure to foliow. Auditor Broderick is still pondering over the tax levy. He wanted advice on the matter, so yesterday he held a confer- ence with City and County Attorney Cres- well, Attorney Baggett, who represents the new board, and Garret McEnerney, who represents the ola board. Aticrneys McEnerney and Baggett cited authorities to show why the levy of the CASTORIA For Infants and Children. board each represented should bz spread on the Auditor’s record, but the Auditor finaily determined to decide the matter for himself. Auditor Broderick recognizes that he must accept one tax levy or the other and will render his deci ion some tim3 to-day. He apprehends that the case will go to the court at once on a proceeding to com- pel him to insert’ the tax levy which he may reject. While the Auditor has yet nine:eeu days to enter the tax in the books and turn over the roll to the Tax Collector, there is no time to be wasted, asthe argument in court may consume several days’ time and the court may de- sire to deliberate after the argnment 1s in, The Auditor gives no intimation asto which levy will receive the distinction ot enrollment. From what was said yester- day actual entries will not be made on the roll until the questiou is settle | in the court. On this point the Auditor said: “1 will make up my mind what to do some e to-night or to-morrow morning. Whnen I reach a decision I shall give all the parties concerned ample notice. It is my desire to have this question definitely settled 80 that the validity of the tax levy will not be in doubt. The books on my desk contain authorities on the point in question which were presented 10 me to- uay by Mr. Baggett. No, I have not re- ceivea any advice from City and County Attorney Creswell. He is not expected to give an opinion unless directed todo so by the Board of Supervisors.” In regard to demands on the treasury for sums less than §100, which do not re- quire the signature of the Muyor, the Auditor said: *I have not received any demands from the new board. There is quite a lot of demands here passed by the old boara on August 2. I have asked the Mayor to send me ali that exceed the sum of $100 each, so I may not exceed the one- twelfth limit in the aggregate of approval. These demands were passed before the decision ousting the board was rendered.” ERSRCEUE BARRY’S RESIGNATION. It Has Been In Mayor Phelan’s Hands for Several Days. The resignation of Supervisor James H. Barry is in the hunds of Mayor Phelan and bas teen for several days, and while tl'is has been suspected the fact was nou ~ ade public unul last evening. The res- ignation will not be acted upon in all probability until the board meets on next Monday. When it is accepted, as it will surely be, because Mr. Barry is firm in his determination, the Mayor will bhave anotber man for the place. Strenuous efforts have been made by the friends of { Mr. Barry to have tim change his mind ond remain in the board, but to no pur- pose. Major Harney, Attorney Vogelsang and Rudoliph Herold called upon him on Monday and tried to get him to reconsider the matter und failing asked him to meet the Governor and Mayor in the Palace Hotel last evening. Barry was there several times, but the other two did not put in an appearance. Mayor Phelan had gone to San Jose ani the Governor di1d not return 1o the hotel until a late hour, so nothing in the way of retting another Supervisor was done. To-day something mav be accomplished in this matter. Besides Barry another, Registrar Hinton, had been called to the conference last evening in the Palace Hotel.

NEW TO-DAT To climb that frightful mount- ain peak, the Mat- terhorn, a tourist ‘has to hire a regu- lar licensed guide who has spent a life-time in mak- ing ascents of this particular mount- ain. Without him, the authoritieswill not permit the as- cent. Itwould be suicide. But when a woman who suffers from some disease or weakness of her sex risks her life by consulting an incompetent, un- educated person, there is no au- thority to prevent it except the au- thority of com- mon sense. The derange- ments to which women'’s delicate and intricate organism is subject can only be safely prescribed for by an educated, experienced physician. Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalid$’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has given a life-time to this study. No physician living has a wider practical experience or greater eminence s a specialist in women's diseases. His “Favorite Prescription ” is the most per- fect cure for these troubles ever invented. It is the only remedy which reaches and removes the internal source of the difficulty in the true, natural and scientific way. Any woman consulting Dr. Pierce, either personally or by letter, will receive, free of charge, the professional advice of a skilled specialist. No mere nurse, however excel- lent she may be as a nurse, has the knowl- edge or skill to prescribe remedies for com- | plicated diseases, and no sensible woman will risk her life with so unsafe a guide. Women will find the most valuable knowledge about their own physical being in Dr. Pierce's 1,008- page free book, ‘' The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.” It will be sent, paper- bound, absolutely free. on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps, to pay the cost of mailing only.

He has now in hischarge one of the largest stationary engines in the manufacturleg district of Kensington, and for more than fifteen years was one of the most trusted engineers in the employ of the Reading Railroad Company. Speaking of RIPANS TABULES, he said:” *“ The lives of thousands of people often depend upon the single hand of an engineer. The man at the throttle is responsible for the safety of every soul aboard the train. He must have a steady hand and a clear eye. Buf en- gineers, like all other human beings, are subject to ills and more than once RIPANS TABULES have helped me along when, without them, I must have failed in my duty. **As an engineer I have been on duty at all hours of the day and night,” said this man, who, by the way, is named John Gilliece and lives at No. 2034 East Somerset Street in Philadelphia, *and sometimes have had to snatch my meais with scarcely a moment's interval of rest. Consequently I have at times suffered intensely from nervous dyspepsia and poor digestion. The only thing I ever found that would relieve me thoroughly and quickly was a RIPANS TABULE and I sti!l take one when I feel the need of a stomach stimulant. I do not know of anything that could take their place.” A nox stylo nackot containing TEN TATULES In & paper carton (without glass) ls now for sale at som: Sores~ FoRFIVE CEXTS.
