G. w. Darlington, 1885 West Thirty
second street, was seriously injured by
Grand avenue car No. 364 yesterday aft
ernoon about 3:45 o'clock, at Grand
avenue and Thirty-second street. He
attempted to jump on the front end of

The injured man was put aboard the

not going to stop attempted to grab
the front railing, lost his hold and
slipped under the car. The claim agent
of the railway company asserted that
the car that caused the injury did not

REPAIRS CAUSE
Gas SHORTAGE
COMPANY PROMISES PLENTY
TODAY
New Storage Tank Connections to Be
Completed This Mornlng-soarolty
Occasions Hardshlps In
Homes

Gasless Los Angeles was pitiable
object yesterday. There was no gas
for the heaters, there was no gas for
the cooking stoves, there was no gas
with which to illuminate the chilly
homes where three cold meals had been
eaten during the day because there was
no gas wherewlth to warm them.
only those who used electricity for
lighting and wood or coal stoves for
heating and cooking passed anything
like a comfortable day, and all because
the Los Angeles Gas e. Electric COM
pany Is making repairs to it's plant In
order to Increase its capacity. The
company declared yesterday that by the
early morning hours the connections
with the new 5,000,0 900 cubic feet storage
tank would be completed and today
there will be plenty of gas for every
one.
The officials of the gas company said
the same thing Saturday, and they
were as much disappointed as the con-
sumers that their plans had miscarried
and the big tank had not been con-
nected.
They say they are. doing their ut
most to get things ready to supply the
great demand for gas occasioned by the
cold snap, and as proof of their sin
cerity point out that the greater the
demand for gas the higher figure the
little pointer registers on the meter and
consequently the higher the gas bills.
Hot coffee was a luxury yesterday.
Not only was it impossible to make the
beverage in the homes where the house
wives depended entirely on gas, but
the coffee urns at the restaurants are
nearly all heated by gas and only a
timid little blaze gasped and sputtered
for life under them.
Many whose gas heaters failed to give
out any warmth spent the biggest part
of the day under the bed covers. While
the weather was not cold it was damp
and chilly and worse, from a stand
point of health than cold, snappy
weather
