Los Angeles has grown accustomed in the past decade to the more or less spectacular real estate purchases of E. L. Doheny in the Chester Place district, for, since the multimillionaire oil man began his now traditional process of enlarging his original residence plot on the fashionable west-side drive into a magnificent private park and country estate irt the heart of the city, it has begun to be looked upon as a foregone conclusion that Mr.

Doheny's grounds will one day cover about everything between Twenty-third, West Adams, Figueroa and Hoover. Were it not for the lull in real estate circles, therefore, the purchase by the local oil magnate of even $100,000 worth of property at Twenty-third street and- Newhall drive would not in Itself be regarded as so much of a sensation. Such a transfer, made recently by John It. Powers, a local capitalist, to Mr. Doheny, had," In fact, practically escaped at- EFFICIENCY IN I PUBLIC PLACES Watchword of Civil Service Convention, on Here.

Dominion System Described by Canadian Secretary. Xcie York's Morality Inquiry Subject of Comment. For the first time In the history of 1 national assemblies of civil service commissions, Canada is represented at the Los Angeles convention, which' opened yesterday morning In the audi torium of Normal Hill Center. William Foran, secretary of the Canadian Civil Service Commission, was tha guest of distinction. Seven years of actual practice throughout Canada has proven civil service to be the most effective method of securing the right men for the right places and has raised civic employment to the plane of a profession according to- Mr.

Foran. "In our schools we emphasize the fact thaV there is another vocation or profession; open to young men of ability, one dis-f tlnctively different than the professions of law, medicine and others." he said. "Particularly in the High Schools, professors of which act aa examiners In the competitive examinations, is this Idea Inculcated. IN CANADA. "Unlike the majority of American States, the Canadian civil service has no eligible lists from which to choose for vacancies.

We advertise only the positions that are open and the men who stand highest are guar anteed these places. Each applicant pays a fee of from $4 to $8 to the State for the privilege of entering the tests, which have as a basis a good, fundamental education. Advances are made right along, but there are three classes and the man who desires to rise from the third class must take an examination for the next one the some as sny outside person desiring to enter this class of higher employment. "Naturally this has created very high standards in our governmental positions and in order to fit men lor the places, civil service schools are opening throughout the country, ine io air. ana otner ollicers against the use- of his name in connection with advertising the fund in Homes, a monthly periodical published bv the company.

Under cross-examination he admitted that he wrote a number of letters to inquirers In which he gave the amount of money in the fund, quoting! the value of the fund, and stated Its management was by the officers of the Globe Savings' Bank, of which he was cashier. Though he was no lonsrer a trustee of the fund, he admitted having signed about 100 checks against the guarantee Fund. If you were not a trustee of thA fund, why did you sign those checks?" the witness was asked. for the convenience of the trustees," he answered. ABOUT THAT SIGNATURE.

Tuesday Mr. Morse said the facsimile or his signature was published under statements as to the condition of the Guarantee Fund without his sanction Yesterday he admitted that he had the facsimile made upon request of either Mr. Elder or Mr. Deeble, another of the defendants, and he said the purpose was for the use of the Globe Savings Bank. "Was it to be used In connect! with the Guaarntee Fund?" Attorney Lawler uaneu.

"Yes, at that time." he answered. "For what purpose was it in your office?" "For my own use, I suppose: not for use with the printed circulars." Mr. llson was not examined hv the attorneys for the defense. Under dl rect examination he said he was re quested by Mr. Elder to subscribe to the bankers' syndicate, which was to take over all the unissued stock of the company.

He could not remember the date of his conversation with Mr. Elder. "What did Mr. Elder say to you?" he was He asked me to suhscribe to a subscription list." he replied. "I told him the amounts were too targe, and he said: "well, sign for a smaller one.

You will never be called upon to take it I bought one of the $1000 is sue. I never was asked to make It good." Mr. Bunn could not recall how large a subscription he made, but said he was never asked to pay any real cash into tne syndicate. SHOES WIN GRVND PRIZE.

Deserter a Horrible Example to Oxy Seniors. Dr.

Baer Draws Pithy Lesson from His Quitting. Thirty-eight Get Diplomas; List of Honors. President John Willis Baer pointed out the way of life to the thirty-eight graduates of Occidental College yesterday by using William Jennings Bryan as a "horrible example," "If you must resign resign, but don't slam the door," he said, referring to Bryan's ungraceful exit from the President's Cabinet. "Discriminate," Dr. Baer continued, "between good men and good measures, between good methods and bad.

To be specific, there is that great human apostle of peace and righteousness, Mr. Bryan, withal a bundle of curious contradictions, whose motive is the highest and must not be Impugned, but whose method of expressing certain convictions and accomplishing certain worthy ends leads him to take certain steps which make some of us believe that as a public servant he Is not wholly dependable. "He Is not well poised and is lacking the grace of knowing when and how to be tolerant without loss of self-respect," Dr. Baer continued impressively, "When you are Secretary of State, and by virtue of your office, it is your duty to sign and send for your President and Cabinet, a note to the imperial or any other government, which represents a national policy as outlined by the President and the Cabinet, and that policy should require a second note reiterating the position taken in the first note, you will do well, not to refuse to sign the second note, having earlier signed the first Don't rock the boat on stormy seas, and remember, loyalty with honor is one of the finest virtues." Dr. Baer's apposite use of a recent -incident of the flagrant kind to point the moral of his exhortation to the year's graduates to gird their loins for the conflict followed a commencement programme of the usual kind, divested, for once, however of all use of that time-worn slogan, "beyond the Alps lies Italy." THE PROGRAMME.

As a preface to the commencement exercises in Alumni Hall, eighteen girls and twenty boys in caps and gowns marched across the upper quadrangle from Fowler Hall, preceded by the faculty. These same personsmost of them after the exercises were over and the Junior refreshments partaken of, rolled their gowns Into a bundle and trudged off down the white hill road to the "yellow car" line.

The mistake of pouring oil in an already lighted stove in the kitchen caused a terrific blaze that spread so rapidly over the building nothing could be saved. The occupants escaped without injury. Although the building was fully covered by insurance a trunk full of family heirlooms of sentimental value to the Mulholland family was lost. Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Mulholland immediately went to Bakersfleld to the home of Mrs.

W. A. Ferguson, Mrs. Mitchell's mother. TWO MORE GOVERNORS.
