PLANS FOR AUDITORIUM
MAY NOT BE CHAN GED
Conflict With Building Ordinance to
Be Overcome by Amend
Yr1ent

The construction of the new auditor
ium on the old site of Hazards pavilion
is in fair way to go on according to
the original plans of the architect. For
the past thirty days the work has been
held up by the city building department
ing ordinance, but if the recommenda-
ton of the building committee Is car
ried out by the city council Monday
construction will commence immedi-
ately
AT meeting of the building commit
tee held yesterday afternoon members
of the Auditorium company were pres
ent to present their side of the ques :
tion and, as a result, the committee
will recommend an amendment to the
building ordinance which will in no
way interfere with Architect Whit
leseys plans.
The present ordinance provides that
no stairways of theaters or like build
ings shall contain landings. The plans
Of the auditorium, if carried out, would
violate this provision. On the other
hand to observe the ordinance would
practically demand remodeling of the
building.
The proposition now is that the
amendment shall provide for such land
ings in halls or theaters whose seating
capacity is over 5000 persons.

FIRE PROTECTION FOR
WEST ADAMS HEIGHTS
Improvement Association Secures Or
der for Immediate Action
bY Chief Lips


In a petition for better fire protection,
the West Adams Heights Improvement
association yesterday presented to the
board of fire commissioners the copdi-
tion of affairs now in existence in the
district bounded by La Sale and Wes-
tern avenues and Washington and
Adams streets.
The association, whose membership
includes nearly every taxpayer in the
district, sets forth the fact that
the district is almost entirely withou.
fire protection. An engine house has
been recently constructed at Hobart
boulevard and Adams street, but the
protection offered is entirely made
quate. There are no fire alarm boxes
in the district. This section of the city
contains costly residence property,
ranging in value from $4,000 to $75.OOO
The association asks that alarm boxes
be placed at Twenty-hfth street and
Harvard boulevard, Twenty-first street
and Harvard boulevard, Twenty-seeond
street and Western avenue and Twenty
first and Oxford streets. Chief Walter
Lips has been instructed to take action
at the earliest possible moment.

WOMAN OF UNCERTAIN AGE
BALKS AT LICENSE COUNTER
State Rule Regarding Marriages Almost Causes suspension Of
Business at Cupids Department in the
County Court House

A coy maiden Of uncertain age nearly
caused the marriage license office to
suspend business yesterday morning
when during the rush Of the young
women who were anxious to secure
captives before Sunday, she baked at
the critical moment and refused to
dlvulge her age.
The maiden lady" sauntered blush
ingly into the office, holding an over
grown youth by the hand. She asked
for the license while the young man,
who beside his three-inch grin wore a
light baby blue necktie which cores
ponded favorably with the reddish tan
of his neck, stood in the background
and knowingly jingled a few coins.
The clerk went through the perform
ance of asking her name, nativity and
present residence, took the same from
the young man and learned that he had
reached the age Of % years.
Then Captain Shea turned to the
spinster and asked her age. Like a
flash, the woman was prepared for
hostilitles and fire flashed from her
eyes as she demanded to know by what
right the clerk required her age. This
young Teller loves me all right" said
the woman, land it's none of nobody's
business how old I am"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-02

The clerk put the license TO one side
and called out Next" and a happy
young couple trotted up to the desk
and secured papers
In the meantime the young swain,
recognizing the fact that his sweet
heart would not get a license unless
her age was forthcoming tried to rea-
son with her. and at last told the clerk
he might put down S5. The clerk asked
the woman to substantlate the num-
Der by oath and she refused to do II.
Then, much to the enjoyment of the
younger couples, she was coaxed to the
counter and as she was about to give
her age her courage forsoolx her and
she beat a hasty retreat to the corner
Of the room.
This performance was repeated sew
eral times before she finally tossed her
head and, smiling the air, marched UP
to the desk. Leaning over the counter
and speaking ina voice distinctly audi
BILE to everyone in the room. she said,
well, Mr.. Smarty, IL you've got to
know IT, I'm 80 years old last birthday,
and now I'm going on 40. Hustle ur
that license"
The youth paid the fee, and the cou-
pie. arm in arm, marched from the
office.

EMPLOYMENT OFFERED
FOR 100000 LAB0RERS
Secretary of Louisiana immigration
Bureau Says Demand for Men Is
Greater Than Supply

Los Angeles laboring men, ablebodied
and not afraid of work, are offered an
oportunity for steady employment the
year round in Louisiana, where Re-
ginald Dykers, secretary of the Louis
lana Immigration bureau, says, in q
letter received yesterday by Mayor Nc
Aleer, that there is work for 100000
men.
Mr.. Dykers says: Louisiana is today
suffering from labor famine and can
give employment to 100000 men if they
are able and willing workers.
owing to splendid industrial condi-
tions work is plentiful and labor is
scarce, and no ablebodied and willing
man need be idle in this state at the
present time.
Send us your laborers and we will
gladly welcome them. Buns, hoodlums
and tramps we have no room for, but
the right kind of men will be gladly
welcomed.
Tell all your people who want en-
ployment at manual labor in the south,
where they can get employment all the
year round to write to u.s."

Hoadley is from Newport, Ky, and
besides being well educated and re-
fined has a small amount Of cash. Sew
eral days ago he arrived in Los An
geles to contest the will Of his alleged
daughter, Eta Longley, who be-
queathed 100000 to relatives and failed
to mention him as beneficiary.
The Longley trial continued several
days, and when the attorneys for the
defense started to prove by their rec
ords that Hoadley had lied under oath,
the old man broke down, and in spite
of his attorneys efforts to prevent him
from discriminating himself, he swore
he had made false statement and
that Eta Longley was the daughter of
his wife's former husband.
Hoadley was arrested and the case
dismissed. The affair was turned over
to Deputy District Attorney McComas
and the complaint was made out. The
officers expected to file the complaint
against Hoadley on the following
morning. but when the document was
looked up it was learned that no one
had sworn to the complaint.
Since that time the papers have re-
manned on the attorneys desk and the
attorneys for the relatives mentioned
in the Longley will have expressed no
desire to attach their names to a. docu-
ment which may send the old man to
prison.

Average Daily Number Of Licenses
Twenty While Three DEGREES Of
Divorce Are Recorded In
Same Time

The old saying that "In the spring
a young mans fancy turns to thoughts
OF love-" has proved true in Los An
geles county this year, but another
motto has also been posted in the
county courthouse by the clerks, who
have had to stay up nights during the
past months in arranging the unusual
number of divorce suits and who have
vented Indignation by declaring that
"In the spring the old mans fancy
turns to thoughts of divorce"
During the past month an average
Of more than a score marriage licenses
a day has been recorded and the IL
cense clerks have been kept busy
handing out the certificates over the
counter while the young and old left
the Office on their journey through life.
That was on the first floor of the
court house building. but the visitor
may have wandered over the third and
fourth floors almost any hour of the
day and have seen the clerks bending
over great bundles of papers wherein
men called women everything they
could think Of and the women were
not backward in extending like cour-
tesies, while the clerks wondered who
was which and swore great oaths at
the whole performance.
An average of about three divorces
month and even Judge Smiths depart
ment was called upon to handle some
of the overflow.

alton vouchsafed by Forecaster Frank

weather factory, when questioned re-
garding the reason which" about these
foggy mornings which have been ex-
citing the wonder of tourists in Los

Beans are sprouting now and the
rancher needs the fogs to develop their
growth. In the fall, when the beans
are ready for picking, he needs the dry
weather which then prevails, but now
he wants the moisture Of the fogs,
which takes the place Of rains.
Peculiar to Dry Season
"Fogs occur throughout the year in
the coast sections. They are less fire.
quent during. the rainy season than
during the dry months Fogs occur
occasionally as far east as San Bernar-
dino and Riverside, seventy-five miles
from the coast, and are of greatest fre-
quency from June to September, July
being the month when fogs more fire.
quently occur.
"Fogs generally begin to form shortly
after sunset, continue during the night
and early morning and are dissipated
by the increasing heat Of the sun by
noon the next day. A totally foggy day
is unknown, though low clouds or a
high fog may exist the entire day.
These clouds, however, are a considera-
BILE distance from the surface
"Fogs begin to increase in frequency
with the approach of the summer type
Of weather, or dry season, when the
great interior valleys and the deserts
eastward become heated and an area
Of low atmospheric pressure overlies
the coast.
"At the same time the pressure Is
high over the ocean. This causes a
flow of cool, moist air landward which,
when the temperature is rapidly re-
duced by night radiation, condenses
the moisture into heavy fogs."

LAUNDRY WORKERS OUT;
STRIKERS NUMBER 200
AM ERIcAN's MANAGER DECLARES
FOR OPEN SHOP
Employees Ask for Nne-Hour Day and
Managers Are Unwilling to Grant
Demand--owners Say They VIII
Not Be Seriously Impeded

Nearly two hundred employees of the
American, New Method and Sanitary
laundries refused to go to work yes
terday morning until their demands for
nine-hour day and the present wage
schedule were granted, and upon the
refusal Of the managers to accede tc
these demands they walked out.
The strike is being conducted by
Laundry Workers union No. 81. This
union had contract with the local
laundries for a ten-hour day, the con-
tract expiring Friday at midnight. A
few weeks ago the union notified the
managers that 1t would not renew the
contract but would insist on a nine
hour day. This plan was not accepta-
BILE and the managers refused to make
a contract with the union on that basis
1t is understood that the officers of
the union have cautioned the men
against violent demonstrations and ex-
pect to secure an arbitration of the
trouble with the managers.
Laundrymen Talk
Manager Roderick of the American
was busy yesterday afternoon making
arrangements to start up again and re-
ferred the reporter to the sign in the
window which reads: "This laundry
will hereafter be an open shop"
"All our employees walked out this
baoauua VIA xaF,,ead tI,ai,
mands. We will be ready for busi-
ness again Monday and will run the
laundry on an open shop basis We
do not expect to be affected beyond to-
day by the strike and there is nothing
for us to arbitrate. The employees have
quit and we will fill their places. We
propose to run our business or know
the reason why"
The Sanitary laundry was open as
usual yesterday although twenty en-
ployes quit work. Manager Myers
said:
only twenty Of our employees left
and none of our head employees walked
out. The detection was chiefly among
AAAS NciAoA e1iAu Sill 6AlAos anu VIC Ca
pect to fill their places without any
trouble. We are running as usual and
turning out work on time and expect
to continue to do so."
The New Method laundry was also
in operation yesterday and Manager
Morris seemed hopeful that the trouble
is ancient history. He said:
about one-third OF our force quit
work and, naturally, we are somewhat
crippled today, but we are filing the
strikers places and our work is being
turned out on time. We shall continue
to turn out our work on time and pay
no attention to the strike as long as
the strikers leave us alone. 1 do not
believe our employees were dissatisfied
| with the treatment accorded to them
and think that their action was infiu-
enced by others rather than through
any cause for complaint. We pay for
sixty hours work weekly when, in fact,
the employees work less than fifty-twc
hours on an average. tried to reason
with them but they would not listen
and consider the whole affair closed
