Gil to vote for the ordinance. He knew
before he went into the meeting that
1T was lost and he was defeated for
he had talked with them about it. He
told me that it would be impossible
to push it through, but that he was
willing to fight for 1t until the last"
s. d. Darrow of 1921 Dewey street,
w. S. Lang of $40 Pco street and
George l.. Mccain of 2S2S Sepulveda
street were appointed on a committee
to draw up resolutions condemning
the action of the council in refusing
to pass the ordinance that was sub
mitted to them.
The resolutions In part read: RE
solved, That we pledge ourselves, indi-
Vidually and collectively to exert every
energy to stop the building of a crema-
tory in our midst; and should we fail
in this direction we pledge ourselves
by all honorable means to prevent the
building being used as crematOry.
Resolved, That the city council of
the city of Los Angeles, by their con-
duct in refusing to protect the people
of Pico Heights from the erection of
a crematory on the corner of Sixteenth
and Grover streets in said city, be and
are hereby denounced as unfaithful to
their trust false to their sworn duty
and unfit representatives of the intel
ligence of the people and a disgrace
to the city.
Demand Recall of Council
Resolved, That we need honest men
TO represent us in the next council, as
millions of dollars are at their disposal
and millions of graft in sight, and we
demand the recall of the present coun-
cil."
1t was moved that a copy of the
resolutions be sent each councilman
and a copy be sent to the several news
papers in the city.
After the ereading of the resolutions,
which was wildly cheered, it was
moved to circulate an initiative and
referendum petition, which will de-
mand that the present ordinance on
file before the council be made a law
or submitted to a vote of the people.
The petition must have at least 1850
names signed to it to have it's effect.
A committee was appointed to draft
and circulate it.
Before adjourning steps were taken
to form permanent organization for
the prevention of any enterprise that
is disagreeable to the neighborhooo
The name for the organization was
selected as the Pico Heights Improve
ment association. Another meeting
will be held in the near future.

BOARDING HALL
HOME FOR WOMEN IS NOW
A REALITY
Local Association Has 3641 Members
and Is Planning Many Import
ant Additions to Its
Work

The boarding hall, for which the Y.
w. c. A. has planned and hoped ever
since the association numbered rev
dozen members occupying rooms on
Second street, has become reality.
The association now has 3641 MEM
bers and the need of a place where
young women alone in Los Angeles
can have homeike surroundings at
small cost, has been felt more keenly
as the association grew. The organ
ization is the largest of its kind In
the world and the women who are
at the head of it have worked diligent-
ly for this latest addition.
The building is situated at the cor
ner of Twentieth street and Grand
avenue. Yesterday there was formal
opening and all afternoon and evening
guests filed in and out of the house
to inspect the rooms and pause for
cup of tea in the cosy dining room.
The house contains thirty rooms,
including sleeping apartments, parlors,
kitchen and dining room. All are large
and newly furnished in the most home
like manner possible. The house is
surrounded on the front and sides by
broad verandas. 1t was formally
family hotel. Miss Gertrude Gilbert
is the house secretary and she has
had much experience in this line of
work, having occupied a similar posi-
tion with the association at Johns
town, N. Y.
Already nearly all the rooms have
been taken and there will probably
be many more applicants than can
be accommodated.
when this home is no longer large
enough we hope to start another in
some other part of the city" said Mrs.
Frank A. Dewey, the president of the
association, yesterday afternoon. I'VE
do not believe in having house too
large, for then 1t is not so apt to be
homelike. 1t will be better to have
several houses. This is just a be-
ginning and we hope to do more"
Prominent Los Angeles women who
are members of the board Of directors
acted on the reception committee yes
teTday and some of the secretaries
poured tea.
Under the direction of Miss Margaret
Henderson the house has been beau
tifully decorated in the association
colors. In the dining room where the
tea tables were arranged the scheme
was particularly attractive. Fancy bas-
kets of marguerites, yellow chrysan-
themums, white cosmos and ferns tied
with bows of yellow satin ribbon oc-
Cupied the center of each of the four
tables and woodwardia ferns and yell
low chrysanthemums banked the side
board and mantel.

secretary, received with members of

PICO HEIGHTS PEOPLE AT THE
BOILING POINT
Mass Meeting Held to Object to Pro-
posed Crematory-Speakers HurI
Heated E pithets at Munich
pal Officials

Masonic hall at Pico and FL Molino
streets was crowded last night with in
dignant residents of Pico Heights, who
Eeld public mass meeting to consider
what steps can be taken to prevent a
Crematory from being erected at the
corner of Sixteenth and Grover streets.
Two hundred people were present,
among them many ladies, who were
equally emphatic with the men in eX-
pressing themselves against the pro-
posed enterprise. 1t was decided to
circulate an initiative and referendum
petition.
L. M. Fall of 1881 Vermont avenue
acted as chairman, and Miss Fannie
Fullerton of 24S2 Sepulveda street as
secretary. l.. M. Schaeffle, pastor Of the
Pico Heights Congregational church,
was one of the first to speak against
the crematory. Mr.. Schaeffle alluded to
the work of the city council as being
very unsatisfactory. He spoke of their
action at the meeting held last Mon
day, when they refused to pass an ordi-
nance against the crematory.
Says Council Was Fixed
The ordinance that was submitted to
a vote of the council was one legiSlat-
ing against the establishment and oper-
ating of any more crematories within
the city limits. 1t was filed
In part Mr.. Schaefrle said I'VE should
be more careful in selecting the men
that are to represent us in the next
council. 1t seems strange to me that
out of a population of nearly 100000
it is so hard to find six honest men.
do not mean to insinuate that the
present cOuncilmen are not honest, but
l am convinced that they were fixed
on the question of this crematory."
Speeches made by other residents
We're equally as antagonistic to the
councilmen, and one man, d, b. McFaul
of 1928 Sepulveda street alluded to
them as a lot of rascals, and suggested
that enough money be raised to buy
them the next time a proposed ordi-
nance was submitted to them.
Defends President Summerland
Councilman Theodore Summerland
who was elected from the Fourth ward,
was discussed by a number of the resi-
dents. Some favored Summerland,
others were sure that he did not try to
push through the ordinance. A hot
debate took place between w. S. Lang
and Mrs. b. Taylor on the manner in
which Summerland did his duty at the
session of the city council last Mon
day. Mrs. Taylor was strong in her
defense of Summerland. She said:

cERMANY's STEEL TRUST.
Nearly the Whole Production of the
Empire Is Controlled by One
Big Organization.

In his report on the trade in Germany
in 1904, his majesty's consul general at
Berlin states that at the end of Febru-
airy, 1904, almost all the large steel
works were united under the Steel
Works syndicate, which now controls
nearly the whole production of steel in
Germany e., more than 100000
tons; about half Of that quantity is sold
by the syndicate directly, while the
other half is sold by the individual
works, but according to rules laid down
by the syndicate, according TO the San
Francisco Chronicle. The agencies of
the single works in foreign countries
were in turn amalgamated and are also
directly controlled by the syndicate and
international agreements have been
concluded with manufacturers in other
countries for the sale Of special lines,
such as rails, etc. The following inter
national export agreements existed at
the end OF 1904 and the beginning of
1905: /. the International Rail Syndi-
cate; 2, the International Tube Syndi-
cate.
The international Rail syndicate was
concluded for three years by British,
German and Belgian manufacturers,
and their respective quota were $3.50,
2S23 aud 1867 per cent: the French
manufacturers who joined the syndi-
cate later we're awarded as OF l04.s per
cent for the first, SIS Of 1858 per cent.
for this second and ga Of 1864 per cent.
for the third year. The chief distribut-
ing ONCE is in London. The tube syn
dictate embraces Berman, Belgian and
French works, and their respective
quota are 73.45, 1906 and il.50 per cent.
The sales are effected through the three
sales Offices at Dusseldorf, Paris and
Brussels. not through the works them
selves.

Malta. who received It as gift from
France; to a private company OF ad-

so that in 1920 II was uninhabited.
Then II became a no-man's land until
l727, when France took II again, and
presently sold II TO a Danish company,
which sold it in turn TO the king OF
Denmark. In 1901 England took Il
once more. gave it back TO Denmark,
repented and took it away again in q

A REVELATION INDEED.
New Mammoth Furniture Store Of w.
C. Reynolds in Burlington.

The new furniture store OF w. g. Rey-
nolds at So Church street, Burlington, Will
surely be a revelation to the people okthe
state. Without question il is the largest
and most complete establishment OF its
kind in New England outside the large
cities. Even many cities twice the size OF
Burlington cannot boast OF anything near
its equal.
For months the carpenters have been re-
modelling the old Howard Opera House
block. Entire floors were taken out and
the interior from the second floor up has
been rebuilt. ] he work has been well
done as the result will show.
The main general furniture show room
is on the third floor and is about s5x120
feet, with light from three sides, making
il without question one Of the largest and
most pleasant salesrooms in all New Eng
land. 1t is finished in oak Of the early
English style, with Royal burlap walls
and soft green ceiling. A general line Of
furniture will be shown in this room,
which is conveniently arranged. The
floors are OF Georgia piLe and the aisles
are covered with mating. Easy access to
the room Is made by an elevator OF the
latest approved type.
The second floor is also in Georgia pine,
but is finished in eBamelled white. This
room will be used chiefly for the display
of the finer grades of furniture and spe-
cialties, including odd pieces of exquisite
design and beauty. In one corner is rug
rack by which the full size Of large rugs
can be easily inspected.
The carpet department on the street
floor has also been remodelled, newly pa
pered, and the offices have been given To-
cation in the rear. Hundreds of rolls OF
carpets are displayed along the sides and
through the center, while the smaller rugs
are placed on a balcony running the entire
length of the south side.
In all, il is a most complete furniture
and carpet store and it will surely be a
revelation to the people of not only Bur-
lington but OF the whole state.
In conducting the business, Mr.. Rey-
nolds is ably assisted by a most efficient
force of assistants, chief among them be-
ing Frank c. Lyon and r. d. Burton.
MIR. Lyon will remain in charge OF the car
pet department and Mr.. Burton OF the
furniture, the latter having come TO Bur-
lington from the Empire state.
Mr.. Reynolds is certainly to be congrat-
ulated on the completion of the new store.
The elegance of the surroundings and the
high class OF goods being shown will
bring to the Queen city people from miles
around who have never heretofore made
that city their chief shopping point.
