The Selma Lighting Company mas defled the edict of Mayor Atkins to discontinue digging up selma StLee. and laying new gas mains ooWn 'io' street during the summer months Ac- cording to the law in the clty eoue, the other day Mayor Atkins notineo fhe company that they would nave to ston work on this main. as The law read that no unnecessary digging up of places shall be allowed to pc car ried on between the months or June and September.
 The theory that digging up places during the summer months causes t,e spread of disease has been expiooeu' ie is tclaimed, according to modern SCI ence, and the law is practically use less and will probably at some future day be repealed, but in notifying the lighting company to- stop work on the gas main Mayor Atkins was simply carrying out the law as it stood. Ine company did not stop work upon the main but kept steadily on as If never notified to stop.
 At a special meeting of the Board of Health, held last week that body which looks to the health of the city, Issued the company permit to con time with their work, and therefore work upon the main was not stopped even after the company received the notification from the Mayor. he work upon the main is progressing rapidly and the citizens will be glad when the digging up of the street has been stopped altogether, for it is gem orally the rule, and not on Selma Street alone, that as soon as q street has been paved there is more digging up of that street immediately there after than probably ever before, which practically ruins the effect of the gravel that has been put upon the street.
 Selma Street has not been paved as yet, but at the time 1t was a very mo- ticeable fact that as soon as Water, Broad and Alabama Streets had been paved for some cause or other there was more digging up of those streets and the laying of different pipes than ever before At the time there was some talk of passing an ordinance prohibiting this, but 1t was all talk as such an ordinance was never Tassed

Resisted Arrest Strongly.

negro named Benson was fined $7.50 this morning by Mayor Welles on several charges. one of which was that of resisting arrest. This negro was taken in charge by Officer Murphy, but when he recognized the officer he gained the very false idea that he would not be taken to jail and fined on the eve of election. This idea was soon dispelled when he was dragged to the box and sent to the lock-up.

Robbed in Daylight.

This afternoon abuot 2:30 o'clock some thief entered the drygoods store of Irwin & Gottschalk on Franklin Street and took from the cash drawer $5. MT. Goltschalk had just finished eating his dinner in the back part of the store and had gone out in front and was sitting on a bench. A few minutes later he had occasion to go to the cash drawer and found it open and $5 gone
 The side door of the store opening into Hinton alley between Washington and Franklin Streets was open and it is thought that while MT. Gottschalk was sitting in front of the store the thief entered the store by this side door and took the money from the drawer. It is not known whether the thief was white or a negro, but in the alley just at the door there were found several tracks of about 10 size shoe and this leads the police authorities to believe that the thief was a negro.

Extending Water Mains.

An extension of the water mains of more than four blocks was started to- day in the rapidly building northeast ern part of the city. and this well prove a big incentive to those who are con- templating the building of homes in that section. The water main exten- sion, besides giving the people an op- portunity to obtain a supply of this necessity of life from the purest of wells, will also afford protection from fire and many new houses are already being planned.
 The company making the extension expects to have the service in good working order inside of the next few days, and a large gang of men has been placed at work.

MANAGER NOT HOMELESS
BUT YET LACKS HOME
oliver Morosco Waiting for Beach
Bungalow to BE Finished, Which
Never Seems to Grow Larger

Manager Morosco of the Burbank
theater, while not homeless. lacks q
home. He started in to build himself
a lovely bungalow at Playa Del Rey
almost six months ago. He figured
that in about three months he would
give up his beautiful home on South
Hope street and move his entire fam
lily and belongings to the cozy beach
house and then Immediately start
building another city home in the
Westmoreland tract. But the best
laid plans, etc Instead of having his
bungalow finished and the new house
in fashionable Westlake district under
fair headway he now finds himself still
on Hope street and the architect. still
working on his house at Playa Del
Rey. that should have been finished al
most three months ago. In the mean
time, inspired by thoughts economical
and lured on by that fatal adj, why
pay rent" Treasurer Eyton of the
Burbank bethought himself of building
a house of his very own on Montrose
street, near Echo park. He employed
the same architect at about the same
time and sad to tell, his house Is just
about as near finished. His mother and
sister, whom he sent for in Australia
and who arrived in Los Angeles about
two months ago expecting to find
palatial home awaiting them in the
metropolis of the sunny south, are now
enjoying the somewhat doubtful pleas
ure of living in rented fiat, waiting
and praying for the completion of the
home" The architect, who is some
what of O. social leader" is doing his
best to finish these two houses as well
as bringing to state of completion
about fifty other houses that he has
contracted for. But in the meantime
Manager Morosco and Treasurer Ey-
ton are "homeless." Eastern friends
who arrived a month ago to spend a
pleasant two weeks on the beach at
Playa Del Rey in the hospitable Mo-
rosco home, are still in Los Angeles
positively refusing to go back to where
snow and ice reign, without even ray
of California sunshine to cheer them.

ONE STATE, SAYS
ARTHUR BRIGGS
PRESIDENT STATE BOARD OF
TRADE VISITS SOUTH
Pleased With caIifornia's Success at
the ST. Louis Exposition and
With Honors Won by
the South

Hon. Arthur A. Briggs OF San Fran
cisco. president of the California state
Board of Trade has been in Los An
geles for two days on business connect
ed with a colonization proposition for
a certain section i'm the central portion
of the state Mr. Briggs was called
here to confer with all those in inter-
est, but action will be delayed for a
time because of the absence from the
city of men who are largely interested
in the development project.
President Briggs, who is a warm
personal friend of Secretary Virgins,
visited the chamber of commerce yes
terday and manifested a lively inter-
est in the display of Southern Califor-
mia products while he listened attent-
lively to the story of the states tri-
umphs at the st. Louis exposition so
eloquently related by Mr.. Virgins.
Speaking of the southland President
Briggs said: "This is my first visit to
Los Angeles in three years. On every
hand 1 observe marked evidence of the
substantial growth of Los Angeles,
which is already a great commercial
center but is destined to become one
of the leading cities OF the world | am
glad to note the progress of the place.
We have great state with great fu-
ture. People of the east are fast learn
ing all about California, and the dis
plays we have made as a state have
proven of great benefit. and every
where in the east when California is
spoken of the people at once think of
Southern California and Los Angeles.
mainly because Secretary Virgins and
the southern products make the last
ing impressions. Time was when some
people of the northern part of the state
thought that the southern end of Cal
ifornia could not or would not be de-
veloped to advantage, but the con-
trary has been proven, and the people
of the coast as we'll as of the east
have been made to realize that this
is one of the favored sections for the
tourists, for men of brains and ability,
and others seeking comfortable homes.
We have a great section for business
joice in the development of the south
ern part of the state. What is good
for the south is good for the north,
and speaking for myself will say that
1 am heartily in favor of present con-
ditions-one state and no DIVISION
