SHRINE IS THEIR SANCTUARY
Italian Women Ordered From House
Keep on Praying and Thus
Halt Eviction
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, June IA shrine
built for prayers to the Virgin Mary
on the top floor of 359 Metropolitan ave-
nue., Williamsburg, came near bringing
about conflict between the Italians
in the neighborhood and the police of
the tenement house squad, sent to the
house yesterday to clear 1t of tenants
because of unsanitary conditions.
Death to the first man who desc
crates our shrine!" cried an Italian wo-
man who faced the police.
The policemen left the hall of the
ground floor in some haste. One of
them was an Italian Reinforcements
were asked for and the Williamsburg
police produced four men who had no
compunctions against forcing out the
family on the top floor When they
tried to get into the building however,
they found the Indian women praying
for their destruction, SO back to the
street they went,
1t was at last decided that siege
would be made upon the building.
When the women left 1t they were held
prisoners, and even the children were
not allowed to enter when school was
out
At sunset, when the fathers returned
from work with their dinner cans and
picks and shovels, they demanded their
evening meal and ordered the shrine
moved out and every stick of their be-
lonsings behind 1t. They knew that the
building was unsanitary and that the
law provided for their eviction TO some
cleaner place.
Last night the shrine was carried out
by the women, their Indignation over
the affair having disappeared.

WASHINGTON. July I'm a letter
to Acting Secretary of War Oliver,
President Roosevelt has expressed his
qualification at the remarkable progress
that is being made by the enlisted men
of the army in craftsmanship
Before the Spanish war the American
private soldier was admittedly the
finest shot in the world. The addition
of the large number of volunteers had
the effect of greatly reducing the aver
age of the rifemen.
But since the reorganization of the
army following the war every effort
has been made to stimulate interest in
craftsmanship, and the result is that
today the average is probably as high,
if not higher, than it. was at the begin
ming of the war.
The figures laid before the president
that elected his approval showed that
in 1903 there were in the whole army
fifty-eight expert rifemen. 249 snarp-
shooters and 500 marksmen, as the va
rious grades are known technically
In the following year these figures
had increased to 264 expert rifemen.
14S9 sharpshooters and 1896 marksmen.
General Oliver attributes the i'm
provement in large part to the fact
that congress has allowed an increase
of pay of SO per month in the case of
expert riflemen 50 for sharpshooters
and 81 for marksmen.

SEN NTENCES BRUTE
To PEN|TENT|A
|. C. REYNOLDS is GUILTY OF
EMBEZZLEMENT
Witnesses Tell of InhuHan Treatm mt
of Horse on Which Accused Man
Had Placed ChatteI
Mortgage

Charged with having sold property
upon which he had previously secured
a chattel mortgage, L. C. Reynolds
yesterday pleaded guilty to embezzle-
ment before Judge Smith in depart
ment one of the superior court and
then threw himself upon the mercy of
the court. but he received scant con-
sideration and was sentenced to serve
three years imprisonment at Folsom
penitentiary.
Some time ago he placed n cha If ell
mortgage for $110 upon two of his
horses and some of his personal effects
The latter he is alleged to have sold
When the details of the disposal of
the horses were told the specta tors
gasped with horror.
Reynolds, according to the story, de-
termined to get away and go to I'm
perial and later work his way to Ari-
zona. The departure was to have been
made at night and Reynolds went to
the stable and tried to harness the
horses to wagon. One horse proved
too lame to travel and later Reynolds
stated that he had left the horse for
the benefit of the man who had taken
out the chattel mortgage, but the
neighbors testified that Reynolds had
kicked and beaten the horse for nearly
given up and started away with one
horse.
Horses Fate Is Terrible
The fate of that one horse was ter
rible. 1t was stated yesterday by the
deputy district attorney who handled
the case that Reynolds started out
on the desert and kept the horse going
as fast as possible.
Without food or water and pulling a
heavy load the beast soon began to
slow up. Then, it is stated, Reynolds
beat the animal until the whip snapped
short off. Then he got down and Sc
curing bunch of cacti he drove the
needlelike sticks into the animals S
back until his own hands were blistered
and the horse staggered on with a
fast-waning strength.
Witnesses testified that Reynolds
then secured a section of barbed wire
and beat the dying horse with that
After that he marched along digging his
knife into the animals sides.
Finally he gouged out the horses
eyes, using his knife and his fingers
and then prodded the poor beast along
until merciful death put an end to
its sufferings.
Yesterday Reynolds told about a
poor wife and baby waiting for him
at his little cottage. But witnesses
told another story They said Reynolds
treated his family nearly as bad as
his horse and starved and beat them
and made their lives miserable
The pententiary sentence was meted
out. Reynolds started north last night
to begin payment for the life of the
horse and disposing of the mortgaged
goods

INSIST ON THE
DEATH PENALTY
New Member From Siberia Openly
FIaunts RevoI oIutionary CoIors.
Parliament Divided Against
Itself
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. July THE bill
of the lower house of parliament for the
abolition of the death penalty went on
the rocks today between the caucus of
the centrists and the council of the
empire, a majority of which was op-
posed to its acceptance in it's present
form.
The substitution of measure abro-
eating the provision of the code
whereby civilians come under the juris-
dictions of the military courts in "a
state of exceptional security" a minor
form of martial law which is the
chronic status of nine-tenths of Russia,
VIII solidify the parliamentary oppo-
sition to the ministry.
A considerable fraction of the CEN
trists, particularly the industrial and
commercial representatives, desired for
the taciturns to follow the lead of the
lower house and pass the bill un-
changed, but the demand for the reten-
tion OF the death penalty came with the
greatest insistence from the represent
atives of the border districts, where
the penalty is most in use-Poland, the
Baltic provinces and the Caucasus, who
feel themselves in the grip of the revo-
lutionists and terrorists, without the
summary processes Of martial law.
This rejection of the first fruits of the
legislation of the lower house revived
the old demand for the abolition of the
council of the empire as a wall between
the emperor and the people.
DR.. Nicholaieveffsky who was elected
a member of the lower house from
Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, has arrived here.
He openly tiaunts the revolutionary
colors.
In an interview today he avowed him
self an active member of the reVolu-
Zionist organization. He said the Sibe-
rian peasantry were fatty opposed 70
any further immigration from Russia
and were In favor of a broad policy Of
railroad construction.

APPOINT NEW
CHARTER COMMITTEE.
HOPE TO DISCARD OLD DOCUMENT
City Hall Officials Discuss Probable Provisions of
New Instrument-NIay Provide for More
Wards and a Board of Aldermen

Assistant City Attorney Hewitt wear
lily turned over the pages of the city
charter.
Here's another conflict between the
charter and the amendments" he said.
"I am living in hopes that It will not
be long before we have u new city
charter.
THE time Is coming very soon when
the city council must announce the
names of the charter revision commit
tee, for Los Angeles is to have a new
charter, and it must be prepared by the
time the state Legislature convenes
next January" he continued. Several
months work are required by the COM
mittee before n charter can be drawn,
especially when 1t is necessary to be-
gin almost at the beginning as is the
case this year.
1T is a poor, old, patched up docu-
ment that the big city of Los Angeles is
compelled to do business with and in
many instances has proved worse than
none at all. There are so many con-
flicts in 1t that the city attorneys office
is never quite sure just where 1t stands
until it has looked over the old skele-
ton from beginning to end. This has
been found especially trying during the
present year, when several members of
the board of education have retired.
The original charter gives the city
council the right to name members of
the board of education to fill unex-
pired terms and an amendment to the
charter places this privilege in the
hands of the board itself. BY peculiar
oversight the amendment does not re-
peal the original clause in the charter
and there is no way whereby it can
be amended to do so.
But as the amendment was passed
on by the voters of Los An
geles at a later date than the
original charter, the council good
naturedly refrained from taking any
action in the school board affairs and
allowed the board to appoint successors
to the retired members. However,
there is a strong question of the legality
of the seating of these new members
and a chance for legal battle if any
felt so disposed.
Is Patched UP Document
"The people Of the state, this fall, will
vote on the question of whether or not
a city holding a freehoders' charter
may change it at will. This will
amount to an amendment to the state
constitution and is something that City
Attorney Mathews has been trying to
persuade the state Legislature to take
up for more than six years. He ap-
peared before three successive legis-
latures and twice was told that nothing
could be done about it except to per-
nit of such amendment as the people
of the city cared to vote to the charter.
"This has been responsible for the
many amendments that have been
tackled onto this charter from time to
time and that has covered it so com
pletely that scarcely vestige of the
original threadbare garment can be
seen for the patches. But the last leg
islature listened to City Attorney
Mathews and agreed that the question
of amending the state constitution
should be acted upon next winter.
"A new charter will have absolutely
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-08

no effect on the question Of consolidation
except inasmuch as 1t may necessitate
additional wards. Whatever the result
of the consolidation movement the en-
tire city would be operating under the
same charter and should new wards
be necessary they can be provided for
by simple amendment to the charter
in which there could be no conflicts,
such as are now so apparent.
May Provide
Whatever the question of wards in
the event of consolidation it is certain
that at least two new wards will be
provided for in the charter and in the
event of the annexation of several ter
ritories that are now seeking admis-
sion to Los Angeles limits more will be
undoubtedly provided. The two new
wards that are certain to be named
is division of the Sixth ward and Of
the western ends of the Second, Third
and Fourth wards
1T is expected the new charter will
provide for doubling the number of
councilmen, electing one from each
ward and the others at large. The ward
representatives will form the council
as is now the case and the delegates at
large board of aldermen, which will
be an upper house. The plan of mu-
the house and senate of a state or of
the national government.
"One provision will undoubtedly be a
street Improvement act whereby the
city will have more control of Vrooman
act work than it now has at present
The Vrooman act is conceded to be the
most technical law on the statute books
and as such is full of tangles. These
tangles have frequently allowed proper
ty owners to escape their just taxes
and assessment for street improvements
with the result that contra ctors have
acquired habit of adding about %
per cent to what should be the real
cost of the work to provide for losses.
Object to Several Claims
Under the presept system the Vroo-
man act is but an agreement between
property owners and contrac ctors with
the city acting as a sort of middleman
or moderator.
New provisions for the board of pub
lie works are also demanded BY the
present amendment to the charter pro-
viding for the board of public works,
one member of the board must assume
the duties of street superintendent and
another those of building superinten-
dent within one year after his appoint
ment. This is a grievous burden in
the eyes of the board of public works.
THE board believes that it already
has enough work to perform without
acquainting itself with technical details
and that it should be allowed to retain
head for each department.
The twenty-one-year franchise law
will also be attacked. This will be done,
1t is asserted, because since the twenty
one-year franchise law was adopted no
franchises, except those for spur tracks,
have been granted nor asked for and
railway ,magnates declare they will
never ask this city for franchise
with the expectancy of being compelled
to forfeit it in twenty-one years.
"Other features are being discussed,
but it is up to the revision committee
to name them"

POLICE HOLD TWO WOMEN
Accused of Petty Larceny Because
They Picked Up shavings and
Bits of Wood

For picking up shaVings and small
bits of lumber from the yard of Patrol
man Ditewigs new residence near 422
South Griffith avenue yesterday even
ing, Marie ChaVan, 60 years of age, and
Sarah ChaVan, 80 years of age, were
arrested by the patrolman, who saw
them take the small bits of lumber, and
locked up in the east side police station.
Not being able to furnish the bail of
$25 the women were held over night and
will answer to the charge of petty lar
ceny Monday. Unless the charge is dis
missed, or bail furnished the two
women, one of whom is said to be very
feeble, will remain in the Jail until
Monday morning.
According 10 Ditewig's story things
have been missing from his home for
the last three weeks, and among the
things which were stolen was two tons
of cement 1t is said, however that he
does not suspect the two women of
having taken the cement.
