Seven square miles Of ChicagO's ter |
rtery are under the protection II one
lone patro.msn Offlcer James Malone
is the policeman who has the dlstinc-
tion-not eagerly sought, by the way
of walking the longest, and probably
dreariest, beat in the city. He walks
at night, and covers a route which
lis three and one-haH miles long by
two mics wide That Is, these would
be the dimensions if the route marked
"a parallelOgram.
Malone is monarch over some 4,500
acres of good, rich, Chicago soil, 10 say
nothing Of the numerous houses which
dot the landscape. Yet he can very
we'll be a lonly man out there in
Brighton Park, travelling over that
long and devious beat. His journey
as described by metes and bounds, ac-
cording to the streets Of the city, is as
follows:
Bounded on the north by Chicago
river, east by California avenue, south
by Forty-seventh street and west by
West Forty-eighth avenue.
When Malone reports to his lieuten-
ant and prepares to go ON watch he
carefully gets together his baggage like
a soldier going out for field duty. Then
he makes the rounds Of the station and
bids his comrades a cheerful good-by,
for it will be some time before he sees
them again. Being a wise man, he is
prepared for any kind of weather.
Once on his travels, he has scant OPP
Iportunity to get near enough to the sta
ton to secure a poncho, if perchance, 1t
rains, so he takes it With him.
He sets out from near the Bridewell
farm, and slowly and methodico 'ly
c1uisis across the drainage chan
railway tracks and vacant lots down
on California avenue. He starts from
the river and goes south to Forty-sev-
enth street. There he turns his face
to the sitting sun. and marches out to
the extreme western city limits. He
has travelled better than two niles
when he starts west. He makes half a
mile more than three when he reaches
the limit Of his jurisdiction in this di-
rection Then he goes north until he
reaches the river once more. de amblss
along the south bank until he arrives
at the point Of beginning He has trav-
eled about six to eevCn miles in max
ing that trip.
If Malone travels at the ordinary
gait Of the pOliceman-some two miles
an hour or under-he would. commenc-
ing at p. m, reach his starting point
about 3 o'clock. He walks eight
hours; hence he is able to cover his
beat two and two-thirds times during
his watch Seven square miles OF land
are his. He is the sole and only guard
liam Of the peace in that enormous dis
trict while on duty. He must pull the
boxes with regularity, and keep NOV
ing on all the time.
Part of his district is well inhabited,
and part is as lonesome as a Kansas
prairie. Houses in the western portion
are few and scattered, but this makes
it all the easier for him, as he has
fewer things to watch and can see a
crook making speed to evade pursuit.
But if he should happen to want the
wagon to bring in prisoner he would
be forced to wait half an hour for it
to arrive, unless he happened to be in
the northeastern portion Of his district.
1t is not the most desirable beat on
earth, but it has a few Of the dangers
if it lacks the excitement of a walk in
the heart Of the city.-Chicago Chroni-

This case has created considerable
talk in legal and other circles. mas
much as Inc defendants, through thsir
counsel, Anthony Higgins and William
r. smaney, determined 10 test the le-
ghlity Of the Municipal Court under
the new ConSt,rson. and took the cae.
to the Superior Court. This body up-
held the Municiral Court and declared
its acts constitutional.
The facss in the case are suhstan-
TALLY as follows: IN February Of this
year Polish woman, named Green.
who lived in one OF Samuel ID. Forbes
housss on Columbia avenue, Brown
town, was behind in her rent. Forbes
determined to get the woman out If
possible, but had trouble in securing a
local constable to serve the necessary
papers. Finally the magistrate who
held the writ sent Il to Constable
James T. Porter, OF Newport, with the
request that he would take the neces-
saly steps Porter consented and. in
company with Forbes anu Mrs. HART
man proceeded to the Green woman'e E
home. After some maneuyers the trio
suceet ded in forcing an entrance 10 the
house, which they had no lega. right tc
DO, and at once began to abuse the
woman and ordered her to leave the
prfmiees at once. This she refused &c
do and these worthy three dragged hei
out UPON the street by her hair.

bla avenue house Forbes had engaged

struc.ed to wait around the corner
The man became suspicious at this re
quest and, determining to ste what wa,

Green's house. arriving in time to Sc,
her being put out bodily. He refused

DECIDUoUS FRUIT EXCHANGES
San Gabriel Association Formed Yes
terday-Others to Follow

The San Gabriel deciduouS fruit grow
ers met at the headquarters in the cham
ber of commerce yesterday to discuss the
matter of organization for membership
in the Southern California Deciduous
Fruit exchange. Meeting began at 10:S0
a. m and it was o'clock before adjourn
ment for lunch was taken.
BY that time it was generally agreed
that three associations should be formed
one including the Parker & Haig tract
and adjacent orchards, a second consist
ing of the L. ]. Rose orchard at Rose
mead, and a third to include the four or
five hundred acres of fruit outside those
two localities.
There was a very hearty approval of
the movement for association on the
part of everyone present, l.. j. Rose
especially pledging himself to cooperate
with the district exchange in every way.
In the afternoon the first association
was formed and was called the San Ga
briel Deciduous Fruit association. After
adopting articles of incorporation and
bylaws the meeting was adjourned to
meet at headquarters on Saturday, Feb
ruary 5th to complete the organization
by election of directors and officers of the
association.
A P. Griffith reports postponement
of the Azusa meeting until date to be
hereafter announced.
4 big meeting is arranged to be held at
Anaheim Monday, the 31st inst, at 10
a. M, and it is expected that this will
start a strong movement in Orange
county.

A FRANCHISE
Wanted For Another Elec-
trio Line
APPLICATION TO BE FILED
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS CON-
SIDERS THE MATTER
Street Sweeping Contractors Demands
Cut Down With an Ax-Protest
Against an Alley Opening

The board of public works had before it
ters of interest. the petition of John S.
Mailman and Clara r. Shatto for the
granting of a special privilege to con-
struct and maintain a street railway
for grading purposes only. As stated In
the petition, the route would be from the
intersection of West Seventh street with
Hoover street to the intersection with
Wiltshire boulevard (ormerly called
West Sixth street, beyond the old bound
aries of the city,, thence along Wiltshire
boulevard west to the intersection with
Commonwealth avenue, thence along
Commonwealth avenue to north line of
West End university addition to Los An
geles city, thence over private property
of ]. S. Mailman to First street, thence
along First street to the intersection of
Virgil avenue. There were present rep
resenting the petitioners, Attorneys
Lamme and Anderson, H. S. Williams,
Prof. Wheat of the Los Angeles military
academy and John Mailman.
Mr.. Anderson said that he would not
endeavor to mislead the board; that
while the petition asks for a special
privilege. the petitioners intended to i'm
mediately file an application for regu-
lar street railway over the route; that
the special permit would merely give
them a chance to go right ahead with the
construction of the road. This was the
only object in asking for the special
permit; the business of the road as a
public carrier would not be undertaken
except under a regularly granted fran
chise.
City Attorney Dunn was called in and
gave it as his opinion that special priv
ilege for a special purpose could be
granted for a period of twenty-three
months under the law, but the petition
the basis for the grant-should ask di-
rectly for what was wanted, instead or
beating about the bush. In other words,
he believed the petition was evasive in
it's terms; that it was step in securing
a franchise for a street railway. The
matter was taken under consideration
by the board and it is probable that the
council will be recommended to pass ia
vorably on the application, but in
amended form.
The board recommended that the city
engineer present an ordinance of inten-
ton for sidewalking Alvarado street
between Ninth and Eleventh streets.
Also Thirtieth street between Orchard
and Vermont avenues.
In the matter of the offer from c. NJ
Stimson and other property owners to
lay the sidewalk on Palmer avenue be-
tween Central avenue and Tennessee
street by private contract, it was recon-
mended filed, as the matter had been
already acted upon.
In the matter of the communication
from the city engineer, asking that the
assessment district for the opening of
Thirty-second street be defined, the
board recommend that in view of the
large majority of property owners on
the protest against the Improvement the
proceedings be abandoned

LOST HIS MIND
r. F. House to Be Examined on an
Insanity Charge

r. f. House. who Is perhaps the best
known man in Pomona, and who has
acquaintance throughout the county, is
in the county hospital and will be sub
jected to an examination in the superior
court to determine his sanity. 1t is
probable that commitment to the
Highlands asylum will be the result, as
Mr. House is said to be mental wreck.
AS yet, he has displayed no symptoms
of violence. but his present condition has
been of such long duration as to almost
ruin the health of his faithful wife, who
in the hope of his recovery has con-
cealed from the world her husbands s
condition until she could no longer at
tempt to care for him at home.
Two years ago Mr.. House was stricken
with paralysis at his home, and since
that time his mental condition has be-
come more and more serious, until now
there are slight hopes of his ever again
recovering fully the use of his faculties
He was placed under the care of the best
physicians in the state, but they We're
unable to cause any improvement in his
condition.
Mr.. Houses dealings in tax titles some
years ago brought him into prominence,
and, while it made him many acquaint-
ances, it also won for him the enmity of
many persons. He amassed a fortune
ana now owns some of the finest property

ATHLETICCLUB SMOKER
EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT
PROVIDED LAST NIGHT
Nearly Marred by the Breakdown of
Elevated Seats, but Nobody
Was Seriously Hurt

The Los Angeles Athletic club gave
smoker and entertainment last evening,
at which there were present some three
hundred members and invited guests.
The joyful occasion came near terminat-
ing in a tragedy, and it was providential
that no casualties, or even wounds, of a
serious character had to be chronicled
The entertainment was held in the
gymnasium. Not many minutes after
the orchestra of the club had begun the
opening march, a crash was heard in
the rear part of the hall, and the noise of
splitting wood, falling lumber and eX-
carnations of dismay and pain drowned
the sounds of the music.
All the stands which ordinarily line
the west, south and east side of the gym
nasium on boxing nights had been re-
moved, excepting the latter, which ran
up to between eighteen and twenty feet
from the ground, and had eleven rows of
seats disposed above each other. These
seats We're occupied by only about sew
enty-five people, and fortunately hardly
anybody was away up. One of the sup
ports nearly in the middle, upon which
the seats rested, broke half way up from
the ground, and the seventy-five persons
seated upon them, as we'll as the heavy
lumber planks, came falling and sliding
to the ground, the lumber and the hu-
mans being piled up in heap, from
which proceeded groans.
| The band played on-but a good num-
ber of those who had seen the accident
rushed to the rescue and eXtricated those
who had been tumbled down. 1t was
| then found that although a number of
them had received bruises and Jumps,
nobody was really very badly hurt.
| Among those who were more maltreated
| than the rest We're Kid Peoples, Santa
| Cruz baseball player, who had a scalp
cut on the top of the head; S. Bucher,
with Montgomery Bros, whose left
ankle was sprained; and John Killian, a
young Pittsburger, who was struck
across the kidneys by a heavy plank. One
young man had all the buttons of his
vest taken off as slick as if a taller had
done it with scissors, but that was al
the kick he had a-coming.
After order had been restored, Prof
Stamm just playing on all the time
as if nothing had happened, pipes anG
cigarettes were distributed, and those
that We're hurt and those that were not
drank claret punch. One number of the
program which was very much relishec
was the four-round bout between Harry
Porter and VIII Graham, two very
clever bantams. Birds colored quar-
tet also came in for good share o
the applause.
