NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Rev. j. H. Van
Kirk of Youngstown, o., reached
Mount Vernon last week on a tour
around the world ito see my brethren, 4"
as he described his unique undertaking.
He is the guest of Rev. DR.. Bartholow,
pastor of the First Methodist church.
In a circular, Mr.. Van Kirk explains
that on June %, 1889, in the city of
Canton, o., on what is now known as
Cleveland avenue, he received "a clear
and forcible impression to make tour
of the world" This impression, he
says, has persisted in clinging to him
for sixteen years, under the severest
test of criticism of five years school
ing at Boston university and Harvard,
and since that under a strain of i'm
paired health and adverse circum-
stances.
Mr.. Van Kirk will start from this
city and speak in all the large cities
and towns on the way to San Francisco.
Then he will make tour of the south
ern republics, and from there will go
to continental Europe.

A farewell banquet was rendered 10

startling and pathetic, as one by one
the weather-beaten patriarchs re-

Women's Clubs

Ebell club members inaugurated a
| pure food campaign yesterday.
The home section met for the first
| time yesterday afternoon and listened
to an address by Professor Laird j.
Stabler of the university of southern
California. Last year pure food was
talked of at several meetings, but this
year the women intend to make it
the special issue of the home section.
The first few weeks will be spent in
learning all about it.
I'VE are not going into this cam
paign with our eyes closed" was
what one member said yesterday.
Experts on the question will be
asked to speak at the meetings, and
members to meet every argument will
be produced.
Prof. Stabler was the first speaker,
and he gave many valuable points
which will be used in the campaign.
Mr.. Stabler said that every other
campaign which has been carried on
has been waged by some company di-
and that the work of disinterested
women might succeed where the other
efforts had failed.
Mrs. Robert j. Burdette, who is
head of the home department, said
there were three heads under which
the subject must be considered.
Food can be adulterated and yet
be harmless. That is a menace to
your pocketbooI.
Food can be adulterated and be
made very harmful. That is a men,
ace to your health.
Food can have all the good quail
ties taken out and harmful ones sub
stituted. That is both a menace to
your health and your pocketbook. We
must consider all three of these
points,"
DR.. George Greed gave a stereopticon
lecture at the regular session of the
club. which convened at the close of
the home section meeting.
"The great white plague" tubercu-
losis, was the subject of the lecture.
and the speaker showed slides to dem
onstrate his words. Charts showing
statistics concerning the number of
deaths from tuberculosis in Los An
geles as compared with those in other
cities were thrown upon the screen,
and these were followed by pictures
of sanatoriums which have been es-
tablished for the cure of tubercular
cases taken in the early stages of the
disease. The principals of the open air
cure were discussed and a picture of
the slum districts in Los Angeles
where the death rate is highest was
the closing feature of the lecture.

FEVER NEARING ITS END
1t Is Expected That This Week Will
See End of Visitation of
the Scourge

BY Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.-Report to
6 p. m:
New cases, 10; total to date, 1929.
Deaths, 3: total to date, 434.
New foci, 4.
Cases under treatment, 139; dis
charged 2756.
Unless the federal authorities are to
be greatly disappointed, the week be-
ginning today will mark practically the
end of the yellow fever visitation. The
remarkable showing of only eight new
cases in the past twenty-four hours is
regarded as confirming DR.. Whites pre-
diction that the fever will ultimately
die out.
Wholesale reductions of the health
working force continue. Helpers to the
number of 115 were dropped from the
roll yesterday at the end of their work.
and more will be let go today. There
will then be 400 men at work, against
1876 a short time ago.

ditio2s continue.

vERDUCO SEEKS
TO Be ANNEXED
WANTS TO BECOME PART OF
LOS ANGELES
Citizens Present Petition to City Coun-
Gil Asking Angeenos to Call
Special Election to Vote
on Proposition

Residents of Verdugo, or at least a
large number of them, want to come
into the kindly embrace of the city OF
Los Angeles, and at yesterdays meet
ing of the city council presented a
petition asking that a special election
be held to include their territory in
the city limits
AT a recent meeting of the Verdugo
Improvement association, a committee
was appointed and instructed to use
all reasonable means to have the terri
tory included in the city limits and
The petition presented yesterday was
the first step in this direction.
The petition was not drawn in the
proper form and for this reason no
action can be taken on 1t, but the
council exhibited a willingness to con-
slider the proposition, and took official
notice of the communication by refer
ring 1T to the city attorney.
Two reasons for immediate action are
urged in the petition. One is that
Verdugo is anxious to enjoy the bene-
fits of the new owens river water sup
ply and pay its share of the expense
of securing this supply. Another rea-
son is that Glendale proposes to in
corporate as city of the sixth class
and take Verdugo into the fold against
the very emphatic protests of the resi-
dents
No city of the sixth class for Verdu-
go. If it has to become part of a city
and pay city taxes it wants to come
into first-class city and receive first
class city benefits.
The proposed city and county gov
ernment combination is urged as an
other reason for including Verdugo.
This will mean a greater Los Angeles,
and the village wants to be part uf
this Greater Los Angeles.
The petition expresses a willingness
to bear its proportion of the expense
of this Greater Los Angeles. At the
next meeting of the council 1t is ex-
pected that some definite action will
be taken to include this territory.

OFFICER HAS BATTLE
WITH DESPERATE NEGRO

In running fight, Special officer ].
r. Gaines narrowly escaped death from
a rock hurled at him by one of three
unidentified negro companions of J.
Mathews. whom the officer was about
to place in irons for stabbing j. Delaney
in front of his home, TAI Ceres avenue,
late last night.
Seeing the motion made by the man
that threw the stone, Gaines lodged
just in time to save himself from being
struck on the head. The large stone
glanced off his shoulder and struck
Mathews on the head, rendering him
unconscious for q short time. At the
time the stone was thrown Gaines and
Mathews were struggling for possession
of the knife After securing Mathews,
Gaines set out after his companions.
but he was unable to overtake them.
According to the story told by the
officer and Delaney, the fight started
when the latter demanded to know OF
the quartet why they had chased his
sons, Edward and Walter, home from
the church festival a short distance
away. Without a word, Mathews
leaped upon Delaney and stabbed him
three times with a small knife.
Hearing the cries Gaines, who lives
but a short distance, ran to the scene
and saw the affair was serious. He or
dered the men to throw up their hands,
and at once they turned and attacked
him. Delaney, faint from his wounds,
fell to the grounr and Gaines and the
Delaney lads were left to fight the
battle out
Finding that Gaines was an officer
the quartet attempted to flee, but
Gaines followed them, and overtaking
Mathews closed in on him. Imme-
diately the fight between the two men
became fierce, but was soon settled by
the rock which Mathews companions
hurled at the officer and struck the
negro, who is now prisoner in the
city jail.
