ELECTION HOTLY CONTESTED
Star and Crescent Society of the High
School Chooses Officers

The members of the Star and Cres-
cent society of the Los Angeles high
school have been dabbling in politics
for the past week. The election for
the various officers of the society was
held yesterday afternoon in the audi
torium of the school. This large room
was packed with enthusiastic students
who had spent most Of their spare time
for week electioneering for their
favorite candidate. They gave the
school yells, and their class yells in a
manner that made the walls of the old
red school shake.
There has not been such a hotly con-
tested election for president of Star
and Crescent since Walter Rhein-
childs defeated Percy Lorraine by a
small majority.
The newly elected officers are among
the most popular and influential stu
dents of the school. Following is the
result of yesterdays election: Frank
Stephens, president; Lenora Mont
gomery, vice president; Maude Howell,
secretary; Grover Youngs, treasurer.

CITY WILL CONTRACT
SALE FOR SWEEPINGS
Proposal to Purchase Collections is
Accepted-Sidewalk for North
Side of Tunnel

The board of public works yester-
day accepted the proposal of Thomas
H. Purman to purchase all the sweep
ings from the streets Of the city.
Purman proposed to pay $40 month
for the sweepings, provided the city
will deliver them at some convenient
point on railroad, preferably in the
vicinity of the Macy street bridge.
The city attorney will draw a contract
between the city and Purman, fixing
the bond at $1,000.
The people who have been urging
that something be done for the pedes-
TRANS who pass through the Third
street tunnel gained their point. The
board will recommend that the council
direct the city clerk to advertise for
the construction of a five-foot sidewalk
on the north side of the tunnel.
The property owners ON Temple
street from Grand avenue to Union
street want the street paved. The
petition was sent to the city engineer
to be checked up as to frontage. The
contract for improving Western ave-
nue. from Adams street to Jefferson was
awarded to r. c. Lowell at a price of
$3S952

WYATT-MOROSCO
COMBINE WINS
GAINS CONTROL OF CASINO
THEATER
Attachment Sued Out by Secretary
Treasurer Weller Is Dissolved
by Order Of the
Court

The dove Of peace once more hovers
over the belligerent theatrical man
ayers who for the past fortnight have
been engaged In n legal struggle for
the possession of the Casino theater.
Judge Trask i'm the superior court
yesterday released the attachment
which was sued out by Secretary
Treasurer Weller, and upon giving such
bond as may be approved by the court
Oliver Morosco and II. c. Wyatt will
again resume the management of the
playhouse
1t is safe to say that the placard
bearing the inscription, 1--WE will open
with boom tonight" will again be
seen at the entrance of the Casino
theater.
The decision rendered by Judge
Trask yesterday was the result of the
action taken by Morosco and Wyatt,
as intervenors, who filed what is tech
nically known as a complaint in in
tervention and an order to show cause
why the attachment should not be
TeledSeu.
The first step i'm the legal fight was
taken fortnight ago by Secretary
Treasurer Weller.
1t Is asserted that he made a diplo-
matte point when he filed suit against
the Casino company for $3.50. He
obtained an attachment, closed the
house and with the sheriff's aid he
barred Morosco and Wyatt from en-
tering.
The decision rendered by Judge
Trask yesterday released the attach
ment sued out by Weller.
Attorney Powers, of the firm of Hol-
land & Powers. said last night that the
theater would be reopened at once, and
Unless other legal complications set in
the management of the house by Mo-
rosco and Wyatt will continue for a
number of years.

EFFORTS TO DESTROY
TREES ARE RESISTED
Dispute a. to width Of street In Boyle
Heights Threstens Euea-
Ivptus Row


Unless the city council decides other
wise next Monday. another Of the beau
tlful rows Of tall eucalyptus trees
which have been falling a prey to the
woodman's AK have to go.
A dispute has arisen between the
Pioneer Investment and Trust company
and residents of Boyle Heights in
the vicinity Of Euclid and Stevenson
avenues over the placing Of the curb
line on Euclid avenue and residents
contend that the trees should be de-
stroyed.
The trust company has been making
extensive improvements in this division
and tract bounded on two sides by
these avenues is owned by this con-
cern. City Engineer Stafford under
instruction from the old council
changed the curb line so that the trees
might be left standing and in order
that they might be saved two feet
would have to be taken off the width of
the street
J. Harvey Mccarthy says that in ac-
cordance with this order his company
carried on the work and established
the line, but that when they were
ready for an inspector the request for
one was denied.
The company then put in the curb
without waiting for the work to be APP
proved All the property on the side
of the street which is being improved
is owned by this company, but property
owners on the other side of the street
object to the narrowing of the street
and have filed a protest with Council
man Blanchard of the Ninth ward ask
ing for the removal of the trees.
The question will come UP on Monday
before the council and If the protest
Is honored the curbing will have to
come up and the trees will be de-
molished.
The outdoor art commission has been
working for the last year trying to
save just such trees as these and in
the past the council seems t. have been
in favor of preserving them wherever
possible

HOUSE is SEARCHED,
OWNER KNOWS NOT WHY
Woman Frightened Into Mysteries by
= Officers-Complain Name
Withheld

A search warrant was secured yes
terday afternoon by some person whose
name the police refused to divulge per-
mitting the officers to search the
rooms of e. V. Stevenson at 62S South
Flower street for $3.50 in cash, dia-
mond and childs ring.
The warrant was served by Detec-
tives Hawley and Murphy at o'clock.
Anxiety caused Mrs. Stevenson to go
into Mysteries, but the officers con-
tinued their search, making it such a
thorough one that pin could hardly
have escaped them. They found
nothing, however, and departed.
Stevenson was at work at the time
and knew nothing of the case until
he returned home in the evening. He
appeared at the police station last
night with his employer. c. D. Hem
ming, manager of the Merchants
Trade exchange, and attempted to as
certain who it was that had sworn
to complaint against him. In this
he was disappointed, however, for De-
tective Moffat said the affair had been
handled by Capt. Bradish, and he had
marked the report mot for publica-
tion," as in a great many Of these re-
ports where a few hundred dollars are
involved.
Stevenson says he has not the re-
motest idea as to why complaint
should be sworn out against him. He
said: II never had any trouble before
in my life. came here last August
from Texas, where I lived for num-
ber of years. I am determined to find
who is responsible for this, search
warrant and If there is any recourse
in the law 1 will prosecute"
C. d. Hemming declares that Steven
son is a man of high character and un-
questionable integrity. He handles
large sums of money for my company"
continued Mr.. Hemming, land we in
tend to see him through this. We
will engage counsel Immediately, and
IL there are any statutes bearing on the
case we will go the limit of the law"

SIXTH WARD PEOPLE
TO IMPROVE STREETS
Prominent Citizens Of South Los An

Of Coronnunttv


oeles Unite for 6etterment
Of Community
Preliminary steps toward the organ
ization of an improvement club that
will be representative Of the northern
half of the Sixth ward were taken last
night at meeting Of citizens which
was held in Dieps hall, corner Of Gem
trail avenue and Adams street e. r.
Selph acted as temporary chairman
and c. J. MostelIer as temporary sec
retary.
Another meeting will be held next
Friday evening at which time It is the
purpose of those interested to perfect
the organization. Committees on con-
stitution and bylaws, securing a hall,
and membership were appointed.
The members Of the first named COM
mittee are ]. w. Gnbreath, d. o,
Freeman and A. c. Winter. c. e. Gill
housen, w. II. Stephenson and w. II.
Chandler are the members of the hall
committee, and DIR. w. D. Fox, II. ID.
McCabe, c. V. Hall and w. T. Dalton
compose the membership committee.
The direct cause Of the movement is
the condition of Central avenue from
Twelfth to Thirtieth streets. when
this street was oiled last summer"
said member of the new club, "the oil
was not sprinkled on the macadam as
1t should have been, but was merely
squirted on the debris that has ac-
cumulated on the real street covering
during years past.
"The result is that the oil simply
made sticky, disagreeable mass of
filth on top of the street and when the
winter rains came 1t became practically
impossible. We are trying to find
some remedy for this condition and we
want the assistance of every citizen In
the district"
I'VE do not intend to conf1ne our ef-
forts for the improvement of this part
of the city to Central avenue" said
Chairman Se;ph, but as It is necessary
to make beginning somewhere we
have decided to try to fix Central ave-
nue. first
"There are holes in the street over a
foot in depth and after the last rain 1t
was almost impossible for a team to
draw any sort of load. We hope to
get the citizens interested and bring
about better conditions in this rapidly
growing section of the city"

tition Of the battle of Tientsn In JUS
tice Austin's court yesterday after
noon, when A. Arguello was fined on a
charge of disturbing the peace of a
restaurant in the Chinatown district.
Four of the most prominent mer-
chants of Chinatown appeared in court
to testify to the indignlties perpe-
trated upon their persons, but the en-
tire story of the descent of the allies
upon the yellow men was told by
Quong Sam, the bright little book
keeper of the restaurant at Alameda
and Marchessault streets, where the
assault occurred.
"I was attending the desk near the
front part of the restaurant without
fear of my brothers and without
thought of the white men, when this
man and several others entered and
ordered noodles" began Quong.
"They were given places a. table
in the banquet hall and the noodles
were put on to prepare. Near one side
of the room a place was set apart for
the reception of certain distinguished
merchants of our section who came to
partake of duck and sol. At one side
of this screen were the merchants
seated, heavy with good eating, while
at the other side sat these men whom l
did not know. Suddenly, with much
swiftness and without warning as to
the customs of the white man, a fine
ladle used in the transferring of soup
from the bowl to the. mouth sailed
through the air and over the partition.
striking one of the merchants on the
wrist.
CLOSELY following upon the ladle
came the bowl which contains the
soup. This landed with crash upon
a bowl of hot sauce which was on the
table of the merchants. The hot sauce
poured through the air, a certain
quantity striking merchant upon his
forehead, and as he had but recently
been shaved, painful hurt was created
upon the bald spot.
"Following these came in rapid sue
cession teapots to the number of three
or four. I went to the table and re-
monstrated. AS did so l received a
blow in the mouth. accompanied by a

yelled, and hit me again and again,
and then I sprang the lock and made

The two men were fined SIS each, the
fine being made light because Of an
attack made upon them by the Chinese

After Gas Company.

SIOUR CITY, Iowa, Nov. 20.-Al-
derman E. J. Stason announced today
the beginning of a campaign in which
he promises to bare the business Of
the Sioux City Gas and Electric Light
company owned by the Philadelphia
gas trust.
Three years ago, the company, to
secure a new franchise, granted slid
ing scale of reductions in rates that
will give Sioux City 81 gas in 1907.
Stason claims the gas bills paid by
the people are no lower than they were
and from this, concludes the COM
pany is either pumping air into the
gas or using too high pressure. He
will insist upon an investigation by the
council.
Manager Kellogg Of the gas COM
pany Indignantly denies Stason's
charges.
