FIRE ESCAPE LAW
ENTIRELY
TRIAL OF INSPECTOR SHOWS
VIOLATION OF RULES
Contractor D. M. Leary Acknowledges
That He and Others Pay No
Attention to City
Ordinance

Final testimony was taken yester-
day afternoon in the trial before the
civil service commission of Fire In
spector d. A. Moriarity on a charge
Of incompetency and neglect of duty
and the result will be made public
at the next meeting of the commission
Tuesday. The only new testimony in
troduced was that of Contractor d. M,
Leary.
Leary acknowledged that he has
placed many fire escapes on buildings
in violation of the city ordinances,
but stated that all of the other con-
tractors are doing the same thing. He
said he knew of only one fire escape
that had been erected in compliance
with the ordinances and that that one
had to be taken down because 1t was
so heavy that it sprang the side wall
of the building to which 1t was at
tached. He denied that Moriarity has
favored him any more than he has
the other contractors and declared that

LIBRARIAN MEETS DAUGHTER
Charles r. Lumms Presents Young
Woman to Guests at Christ
mas PARTY

Friends of Charles f. Lummis are
surprised over the latest acquisition
to the Lummis household.
The city librarian has another daugh-
ter. Little Dorothea, or Turbese, as
she is usually called, will no longer
be the only girl of the household.
The new Miss Lummis bears strik-
ing resemblance to her father. She is
small of stature and in feature and
coloring the likeness is especially no
ticeable.
She was first introduced at Christ
mas tree party given at the Lummis
home near the Arroyo Seco Christmas
eve.
The girl is said to be about 25 years
of age, and the Los Angeles acquaint-
ances of her father did not know un-
til that time of her existence.
Mr.. Lummis sent to Boston telling
his daughter to come on and he went
part of the distance to meet her. Miss
Lummis has been working in Boston
as a stenographer.

matte brake and life guard would stop
the car. Sunday nights accident was
not unavoidable and L can dem
onstrate it.
"As to the cost of equipment, they
say it's costs 5000 to install Il magnetic
brake and about $3.50 to put in the
straight air brake with simple triple
valve which is used on electric cars.
My brake is a thousand times more
effective in case of emergency and
will cost less than half what the or
dinary brake costs. But this ap-
pliance is purely a safety appliance
and if adopted in this city a year ago
would have saved many lives and
countless cases of injury.
THE automatic brake,' continued
Mr. Gardner, 'is not intended to dis
place air brakes or hand brakes, but
is simply an emergency appliance, both
as to fender and brake. In case a man
falls in front of a car equipped with
this brake he is scooped up and carried
on until the car stops. In case a mo-
torman saw a collision with a carriage
or bicycle was inevitable he could
throw down his emergency lever and,
no matter what followed. the car
would be almost instantly stopped. and
anyone falling on the rails would not be
in danger of getting beneath the wheels
or being crushed under the old-fash-
ioned tenders, with which cars in many
cities are provided.
My brake does not interfere with the
application of any other pattern of
brake, which is constructed on the
basis of brakeshoe coming in contact
with the wheels They can put on any
kind of appliance they wish to use on
everyday work. but when it comes to
safeguarding the life and limb of the
public the railway companies need and
will have to adopt some better method
than that in use at the present time.
The public is alarmed at the present
condition, and there is a growing de-
mand for something which will stop
the needless loss of life which is going
on all over the world where electric and
steam cars are operated. If the public
this appliance and becomes
interested I think the success of this
invention is assured"

LOS ANGELES PREPARING TO
FIGHT SPREAD OF TUBERCULOSIS

In an effort to reduce the death rate
from consumption Los Angeles will
soon have one of the most stringent
nti-expectoratiol ordinances ever
passed by any city in the world and
every precaution will be taken to
enforce IL to the letter.
The city council yesterday instructed
the city attorney to draw up an or
dinance making It misdemeanor,
punishable by fine and Imprisonment,
for physician who Is called on to at
tend a consumptive to fail to report
the case to the health department or to
fail to see that the patient is provided
with all modern appliances as a safe
guard.
In addition to this clause, which will
he inserted in the anti-expectoration
ordinance now in force, the ordinance
as it stands will be made stronger and
several loopholes in 1t. which make 1t
difficult of enforcement, will be closed
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-27

up. The ordinance will carry a pro-
vision making it obligatory on the part
of policemen to report all violations of
the anti-expectoration law under pen
atty of a fine.
The statement was made by a mem
Der Of the council who dabbes in med
icine as a recreation that charts Of the
United States sent out by health
authorities with portions shaded to
show the effect of tuberculosis have
the portion in the vicinity of Los An
geles as black as ink can make it,
showing this section to be more affected
with tuberculosis than any other por-
tlon OF the country. 1t was admitted
that nearly all the cases were importa-
tions but the declaration was made
that some native Californians are VIC
tins of the disease who would other
wise be spared If consumptives could
be prevented from spreading the dis
ease by expectoration.

ENGINEER HAS THRILLING ES-
CAPE FROM DEATH
Woman Struck by Falling Furniture
Sustans Compound Fracture af
Nose-colIison Causes
Heavy Damage

Engineer McGilvcry Of engine com
pany Q was injured slightly and the
fire engine was nearly demolished in a
collision between the fire apparatus
and an East Ninth street Pacific Elec-
trio car at Ninth and Santee streets
shortly before Z o'clock last even
ing, when the company was returning
from a fire at 732 Wall street. Mrs.
Fred Jemynane, proprietress of the
rooming house, was also injured.
Overzealous efforts on the part of fire
fighters attempting to save furniture
from flames raging in an upstairs room
of the two-story frame building which
belonged to ]. Pierce nearly cost Mrs.
Jemynane her life.
AS the woman rushed from the house
an unidentified man hurled a steel bed
spring FIR, m the window. The spring
grazed Mrs. Jemynane as it fell and re-
bounded, striking her in the face and
causing a double fracture of the nose.
The woman was removed to the receiv-
ing hospital.
The collision between engine 9 and
Pacific Electric car occurred as the
engine was returning from the fire and
resulted in the demolishing of the en-

the inspector never told him of build
ings that fire escapes were going to
be attached to-
Moriarity took the stand but seemed
unable to explain in a satisfactory
way why he had attached his 30. K"
to a number of records Of fire escapes
that were not erected according to
the law. He stated he copied most
of the records from the building per-
mits, and that this was merely his
sign of approval as to the way in which
specifications for the fire escapes were
drawn. He said he put his 30. K"
on these records to signify that the
owners of the buildings had compiled
with the specifications in regard to
the escapes after he had inspected
them.
The testimony showed that the in
spector had made only one written

STREET CAR CRASHES INTO
FIRE ENGINE; ONE MAN HURT

gine. Engineer McGilvery's narrow
escape from instant death at his post
on the rear Of the engine is considered
almost miraculous.
As the engine rounded the corner from
Santee to Ninth streets the driver was
forced to turn from the left hand track
of the street railway to the right hand
track very suddenly to avoid being
struck. Instantly he became aware
That two cars running on either track
were coming toward him.
Despite all Of the efforts of the driver
to save his team and engine the car
was upon him and had crushed the
engine before he could drive his wagon
Off the track. A wheel was torn off,
the boiler and machinery were dam
aged and McGilvery was thrown from
the engine.
Had McGilvery remained on the en-
gine instead Of being hurled off he
would have been killed instantly, it is
believed by the fremen.
The fire was of unknown origin. 1t
started in the rooms of Mrs. Shaw, who
occupies second story room on the
southwest corner and before the flames
were discovered they had gained con-
siderable headway. Mrs. Shaw was
across the hall chatting with another
roomer when the cry Of fire from the
street attracted her attention.
Finding that the house was in flames,
the occupants rushed to the street.
Neighbors began to throw all the fur
niture from the house. In the con-
fusion one man hurled bedspring from
Mrs. Shaw's room, which nearly caused
her death.
Within five minutes after the fire de-
partment arrived on the scene they had
extinguished the fire. The loss was
about $3.50 and was covered by in.
surance.
