FINE AUToISTs FOR BUSHES
Speedy Machine Drivers Forced to
Pay for Their Too Fast Use
of HiqhWaYs

H. Bennison, chauffeur for J. Brun-
ton, was fined $100 yesterday in Justice
Chambers court for fast and reckless
driving.
While turning at First and Broadway
Monday Bennison's big car struck E..
c. Townsend, a Chicago tourist, and
hurled him to the side of the street.
Bennison was at once arrested and
charged with reckless driving. He en-
ployed counsel but could not produce
evidence to show his lack of RESPONSE
bility for the accident.
Justice Chambers intimated that
many automobile owners and drivers
are altogether too reckless in speed
ing along public thoroughfares. Ben
nison was obliged to remain in custody
until his friends secured the amount of
the fine.
V. l.. Fleming, chauffeur for DR.. c..
3. Jones, was fined $40 for violating
the speed ordinance. and A. S. Tousley
was fined a like amount although he
made claim that his engine refused to
answer to the throttle as he was riding
along Washington street and that was
the reason for his speed of twenty-five
miles an hour.
Yesterday afternoon Officers Mojonier
and Berchtold of the motorcycle squad
arrested William Deuter for scorching
on Main street. According to the Of
ficers, the young man was speeding
his motorcycle at the rate of thirty
five miles an hour.

have to go. The council last Monday
authorized the city engineer to employ
thirteen additional men in his office.
These men will be Vrooman act inspec-
tors and when they have learned the
tricks of the trade it is considered that
thirteen of the old men will be dropped
to make way for the new ones.
The new men are A. E. Cursor, A. e.
Ditch, w. d. Hammond, H. Jones,
Harry Jones. Harry McKeon, C. H.
Mickey, w. w. Webb, l.. l.. Chandler,
John Hermanson, r. f. Hayhurst, G.
f. Lewis, j. A. Nelson and J. B. Smith.
Vrooman act inspectors are paid from
the assessment fund provided for Vroo-
man act work and are not under civil
service regulations. For this reason
they can be hired or discharged as the
city engineer sees fit.
The job is not one for which there
is great deal of contest as the Vroo-
man act inspectors consider themselves
very lucky when they make as much
as SIS a month. The pay is fluctuating
and depends on the amount of inspec-
ton they get to do.

NEARLY $4,000
IS SUBSCRIBED
Y. M. C. A. BUILDING FUND IS
GROWING
At Least $4,000 Young Men Will Be
Canvassed During the Financial
Campaign for the New
Structure
st''1 ts = ss,sss sssS;s

Several more subscriptions to the
building fund of the Youpg Mems
Christian association were reported to-
day. Among the larger ones was that
of Charles M. Stimson, who pledged
himself for $4,000. Others whose names
went down for considerable amounts
were C. M. Staub for $1,000 and A. Fuse
not for $500. A number of subscriptions
for smaller amounts also were reported,
bringing the total to date up to
$i49,250.
The membership committee of the
association is about ready to begin the
work of making a general canvass of
the young men of the city. The task
of mapping out the work and organiz-
ing the committee has required consid-
cradle time, but the details now are
practically complete, and it is probable
that this campaign will be in full swing
before the end of the week. That Sec
tion of the city bounded by Ninth and
Temple streets and Figueroa and Ala
media has been divided into districts
and a sub-committe assigned to each.
In addition to this an effort will be
maze 10 enlSt the actlVe support of the
young men of the various churches, the
idea being to reach as many of the
young men between the ages of Is and
35 in the city as possible. AS there are
about $4,000 of these it will be seen that
the committee has rather difficult
task before it, as the canvass will have
to be completed by May 1. Many of the
members of the committee are, how
ever, giving up practically all of their
time to the work and they are certain
to accomplish important results.
The indications now are that the
total subscriptions to the building fund
will be well in excess of the 100000
mark by Saturday night.

BY Associated Press.


BOSTON, April 4.-Miss Ethel Bar
rymore, the actress, was taken sudden
ly Ill of appendicitis here today and
will be operated upon tomorrow.
Miss Barrymore made a big hit in
Los Angeles when she appeared here
eight months ago as Sunday in the play
of that name.
She is daughter of George Drew
and Maurice Barrymore, whose names
have been enviably near the Top of the
profession.
Miss Barrymore made her debut in
the company of her grandmother, the
famous Mrs. John Drew, when small
child, and since that time her strides
up the ladder of success have been
rapid.
John Drew, Miss Barrymore's uncle,
took a great personal interest in her
and to him she attributes much of the
success she has achieved.
Miss Barrymore is engaged to marcy
Captain Harry Graham of the English
army and the wedding was planned to
take place this spring.
1t was in cousin Kate" that Miss
Barrymore made her first great west
ern success. In San Francisco she was
royalty received when she appeared in
this play and from there she was to
have come to Los Angeles, but sudden
illness made the "trip impossible.

SAN DIEGO Cal, April 4.-Rain be-
gan falling at noon today, with indi-
cations of prolonged precipitation.
The storm will be of no benefit, and if
it should continue it will do damage

done to bridges over the still swollen
streams.

the course of the San Diego river has
been changed west of this city. In
stead of emptying near the mouth of
False bay, as heretofore, the stream
has cut a new channel across the old
town flats. following a slough passing
through Duckville, a collection of

Some of these houses have been dam
