was ungovernable, and his conduct
while at the detention home corrob-
Grated their testimony in every de-
tail.
'T will send you to Whittier" said
Judge Wilbur.
julius made no reply, and he took
his seat.
The. wheels of justice in the juvenile
department were again put in motion,

are that the case will be contested
bitterly.
Mrs. Neil says in her complaint that
VIXEN she mildly requested her hus-
band to provide her with certain arti-
cles of feminine flnery, among them a
skirt, he grossly replied:
what the devil do you want of a
skirt, as you are going back to Patton
anyhow" tt
On another occasion she objected to
her husbands language when her
daughter spilled soup on his clothes.
That he smashed her face and
blacked her eye are only a few of the
milder allegations Of cruelty contained
in the complaint.
ON one occasion Mrs. Neil says thar
when she objected to stopping at Il
private house, in preference to a hotel.
her husband objected to her notions
and said:
Don't you put on a bit of STYLE" all
of which she says caused her mental
pain and suffering.
Mrs. Neil says that when she re-
Gently visited her mother in the state
of Iowa her husband told her that cold
lunch was all that she could expect
en- route.
The case will be tried at an early
date.

SAY BUILDING
IS FIRE TRAP
QUESTION SAFETY OF TEMPLE
AUDITORIUM
Complaints Regarding Structure Met
With Managers Assertion That
Place Is Not in the Least
Dangerous

Complaints about the dangerous con-
,dition of Temple auditorium have been
made by number of people who as
sert the building is fire trap.
The complaints say the interior of the
building consists of a series of mar
row walks, tunnels and creaky stairs
leading to the galleries. 1t is asserted
that owing to the acoustic properties
of the auditorium the central seats are
always filled and in case of fire ac-
cess to the exits would be cut off eX-
cepting in one direction.
The building is leased by the Bap-
tist church. Such repairs as have been
made were carried out under the di-
rection of the trustees of the church.
The building is an old one, having been
constructed about eighteen years ago.
Structure lnflammabIe
There can be no argument about the
inhammable character of the building.
Wood is used exclusively in its con-
struction with the exception of the or
dinary building hardware and an iron
roof. Standing as it has in the dry
atmosphere of Los Angeles for almost
quarter of a century the house is as
dry as powder.
Under the rafters there is a canopy
of thin white cloth, which covers the
entire dome above the main floor and
both galleries. There is a raised plat
form along the east side of the build
ing upon which chairs are placed. There
is a railing along the edge of this plat
form and the space below this railing
is inclosed with light, thin cloth.
A coarse cloth resembling canvas
has also been employed in covering the
five doors that open upon the main
entrance. Beyond these doors, across
the space intervening between them
and the box Office are the main doors.
which open upon the street. These
street doors are made OF wood.
Places of Exit
From the main auditorium there are
FIVE doors which act as direct exits.
There is one large door on the east side
and another ON the west. The latter
door is In a part OF the building that
is parttioned off from the main floor
There Is another door in the front OF
