RAILROADS MUST
PROVIDE TENDERS
MAYOR DEMANDS THAT CARS
BE EQUIPPED
Loss of Life in Street Car Accidents
Causes the City's Chief Exec
utive to Warn Railway
Officials

Deaths resulting from street car ac-
cidents have become so frequent in
Los Angeles during the past year that
the authorities have at last become
aroused on the subject as is shown
by the fact that Mayor McAleer yes
terday wrote a letter to the various
street car companies operating in Los
Angeles requiring that all cars be fitted
with tenders.
Only two days ago little child was
crushed to death beneath the wheels
of a rapidly moving car this being
the twenty eighth victim in the last
fourteen months.
1t is but "a short time since Mrs.
De la Monte was ground to death be-
meath the wheels of an express car,
which was not fitted with a fender
of any kind. Witnesses of the acci-
dent stated that in their belief if the
car had been fitted with a proper
fender the woman's life would have
been saved.
There is no tone of compromise
IN the mayors letter and he says that
the violation of the ordinance by the
street railways is a constant menace
to the public safety. Following is the
letter:
II wish to call your attention to or
dinance No. 1856 New series) of this
city, requiring every person, firm or
corporation operating street cars in
this city to equip each of such cars
with tenders and life guards, in Il
manner prescribed therein.
Investigation has disclosed that this
ordinance is being violated by your
company. Such violation is constant
source of danger to the public and
must be stopped, otherwise prosecu-
tions will be instituted"

BELIEVE FLOWER GIRLS
Disseminated AGAINST
Business Men Say Ordinance Is Not
Just-Councilma Says Chill
dren Were Wronged

An ordinance passed by the coun-
ell several months ago at the request
of the Humane society drove the chill
dren who were engaged in selling
flowers in public places from the
Streets, and now it is asserted their
places have been taken by able bodied
men, many of whom are foreigners.
Business men will remember the lit
tie flower girls and boys who used to
sell blossoms on the streets and in
the offices down town, and, according to
a prominent real estate dealer, they
are missed and the business men are
not we'll pleased with their success
sors.
Yesterday city official said he knew
of an instance where the sole depen-
dence of a poor woman who was too
sick to work were a little boy and a
girl who sold flowers on the streets
and in cafes and other public places.
When the ordinance deprived her of
this support she committed suicide
rather than starve and the children had
to be cared for in an orphan asylum.
Councilman Smith said: IT do not
think it is right to allow these able
bodied men to sell flowers on every
corner and take the right away from
the children. Many families need the

WILLIAMS REMAINS TO
BE BURIED BY COUNTY
Neither Wife Provides Money for the
Funeral of Gladstone's Former
Butler

The remains of John Williams, the
man who was accused of being big
amist while on his deathbed, will be
buried today by the county and the
one-time butler to Gladstone will rest
in paupers grave.
The dispute which has arisen since
the death of Williams is no less heated
than that which arose when each of the
two wives learned that she was not
the only one. Sarah Williams,
the woman who claims to have been
married to him twelve years ago IN
England. and who was living with
him at the time of his marriage 10
Emily Griffiths last December, called
at the county hospital Thursday and
was told of his death. The other wo-
man who believed she had married a
man worth several hundred thousand
dollars, nursed him through his sick
ness and stayed by his side until his
death and spent her last cent on him,
mourns that she has not money to pay
his funeral expenses.
She received VIII ledNinB ploperty
which he owned at Wilmington to her,
but the document is invalid, as the
common law wife holds a deed of gift
to the same land.
This woman refuses to provide funds
for the burial, but Emily Griffiths says
that as soon as she can earn the money
necessary the body win be exhumed.
She is an English woman of evident
refinement and has been in this coun-
try only seven months. She has con-
suited the British vice-consul in the
hope of getting some settlement of the
property by which she may benefit.
