FENDER CASE is POSTPONED
Los Angeles-Pacific Officials Want
More Time to Look Up
Appliances


T. r. Gabel, general manager of the
Los Angeles-Pacific Railway company,
and Horace Clark, employed as mo-
torman by the street car company, ap-
peared in Police Judge Roses court
yesterday afternoon in answer to a
warrant sworn against them for an al
legged violation of the city ordinance
requiring the application of a fender of
a certain pattern to all cars operating
In the city.
Attorneys for Manager Gabel and the
motorman asked for a postponement
of the hearing until next Monday,
which was granted, to permit the in
PRODUCTION of more evidence, especially
to investigate thoroughly the specifica-
tions and designs of different fender
patents, which must be obtained from
Washington.
1t is expected that the defense will
undertake to show that the Los An
geles ordinance calling for tenders of a
stiI llated type. namely, the Pope fen
der, limits the buyer to only one make,
thus giving the manufacturer of that
appliance a monopoly, which would
make the ordinance unconstitutional
and therefore invalid.
Furthermore, it is believed that their
tactics will be to contend that the
street railways failure to provide fen
ders to its cars was because of inabil-
ity to obtain the required appliance
from the manufacturers, and that, be-
ing limited to that pattern. they were
not at fault for running their cars
without tenders.

one INJURED
BY RUNAWAY
FRIGHTENED HORSES FALL IN
DITCH
Workman is Struck by Hoofs and His
Face Is Bruised and cut-In-
Iuries Not Considered
Serious

Two big truck horses attached to a
heavy wagon of the American Transfer
company ran at breakneck speed down
the steep hill on First street, between
Broadway and Hill yesterday, and were
only stopped in their rapid race when
one of the horses fell into a sewer ditch
on First between Broadway and Spring
Several men were working in the
ditch, and they appeared to have been
crushed under the wheels and hoofs
Although the rattle of the heavy wagon
and the clatter of the horses hoofs on
the pavement sounded like thunder, the
workmen in the ditch were not aware
of their danger until the runaway was
within a very few feet of them Except
for the fact that they were working In
the trench below the surface of the
pavement nothing could have saved
them from death, for their heads barely
disappeared below the pavement before
the horses and the wagon galloped past
One of the workmen, John Lazovich
of 700 Corlett street In the east end OF
the ditch, was pinned beneath the body
of the horse that fell. and was unable
to release himself A crowd of men
soon hoisted the animal. and Lazoviteh
was taken out, suffering from bruises
and decorations about the face and
body. He was taken to the receiving
hospital. The driver of the wagon,
Jack Flary, jumped from his seat be-
fore the horse fell. and saved himself
from injury.
The runaway Of the transfer wagon
team started near the top or the hill on
First street, and flew past the central
police station like gust OF wind.

ment than the names of the gentlemen
who comprise your directory and official

"I am always in favor OF anything
which will teach people the advantages
of our wonderful state. If people only
knew the real facts the east would be
depopulated on short notice. In my
thirty years experience with California
climate 1 have observed that on an av-
erage men, women and children come
to their highest development and that
life need be at least only half as siren
uous here as ii is necessary to produce
the same results I'm the eastern states.
LUTHER BURBANK"
II most heartily indorse the plan of
the Development society of California.
Our state has from its beginning had
magnetic charm for millions, and the
spirit of California has been worthy of
its lovely outer form. 1t has ever been
the foremost commonwealth OF the west.
and there must be no backward step
now. The golden age of our state is not
in the past but In the future. and no
prophet OF the present can foresee its
glory. ROBBERY MCINTYRE"

MUST USE METAL coNDUITs
Sequel to Chamber of Commerce Fire
Is a Stringent New
Rule

Because of the recent fire in the cham
ber of commerce and other fires the city
council yesterday passed an ordinance
calling for metal conduits for all cleo
trio installations and better inspection
of all electric work.
Following a communication from r,
Powelson, b. Workman, l.. c. Hanna
and M. S. Culver, the agitation was
started.
The argument was made that many
fires may be traced TO defective electric
installation. which could be avoided by
more stringent regulations as to install
latiOn and inspection, and that the first
step In reform was to insist on all OF
the work being put in metal conduits.
The action was recommended by the
board of fire commissioners.

Why Wars Arise
''The greater part Of the controver-
sizes and wars Between nations arise
from the tendency of the people of
each nation to assume that upon every
question which arises all the right is
upon their own side and to insist upon
having their own way without that
deliberate and kindly consideration of
the rights and interests of the other
side Of the question which a Just man
would give to his neighbors.
America has given to the world an
example or democracy made up Of
individuals capable of that self-con-
troll and self-restraint which enables
the defeated contestants in most
exciting political controversy to accept
peacefully the judgment Of the major
ity and leads the entire community,
however deep may be its feeling, to
bow with respect to the judicial judg-
ment.
The same spirit, reinforced by the
sentiment for humanity and the de-
sire TO help on the progress of civili-
zation, the rule of peace and justice
throughout the world, may exert a
powerful Influence not only upon our
own affairs with other nations, but
upon the international intercourse of
mankind
Mediation and arbitration are USE
ful methods of solving international
controversies without recourse to war,
but the true preventive of war is the
Willingness of the people of the world
to be just toward one another; the
strong desire of the people of the
earth to be kind toward one another;
the application of the same rules by
all men to their collective treatment
Of other nations which good citizens
apply to their individual treatment Of
each other. The true and final anti
dote for war is the love of justice and
peace among the people who make war
or preserve peace"

SCHWAEBE FAILED TO MAKE
MONTHLY REPORTS
Council Refers Resolution Concerning
Inquiry Into Bookkeeping Meth
ods to the City Attorney
for Advice

The city auditors office was under
fire for a half hour yesterday at the
instigation Of Councilman Houghton,
who in turn had Auditor Schwaebe,
Chief Deputy Bostwick and the city
attorney put under cross examination
before the council at it's session.
For five months, it appears, the
monthly reports of the auditor have
been lacking. 1t was not known by the
council till yesterday that these were
voluntary reports and that the charter
calls for weekly reports only. These
have always been forthcoming.
The Sixth warder wanted to know
why the council tolerated such mat
tention to the laws from one of its
chief safeguards-the auditor-through
whose hands the city's moneys were
checked.
He intimated that in FIVE months
many things could happen. and he for
one wanted to be sure that the $19,00O,-
600 at the disposal of the municipality
had been accounted for properly.
Since no reports were available he
saw but one remedy. to call those who
had information before the barNof the
council.
Demands Experts
Before taking up the discussion on
the failure of the auditor to report,
Houghton learned from Clerk Carroll
that the last report was filed in July.
"Yes. and the next on November 12."
continued Houghton. 81 wonder how
Ascot would like monthly reports like
that 1 would like to see a certain
voters league run on those principles.
Now l move that the council pass a
resolution that It deplores the action
OF the auditor In being so grossly ir-
regular in the performance of his duties
and call for the appointment of local
experts to go over the books of the
office to see just where the city stands"
There was no second to the motion.
"What," exclaimed the speaker. "do
/ fail TO get a second for such vital
resolutlon2 The auditor safeguards the
publics money. and we who are about
to spend millions on the owens river
sit back and ignore such inattention
to Office.

President Summerland, smiling.
Beas for a Second

1t pains me to beg for a second on
a motion which involves the body
polite" continued the speaker. "Our
auditor is what a controller is to an
engine or spigot to water system
Why does the auditors conscience per-
nit him to draw his salry if he feels
that he is unnecessary? 1 want you to
take other action than to refer this
auditor business to the overworl1ed city
attorney who is busy with the Owens
river and in getting out election ma
terial."
Then the Sixth warder called for
Messrs. Schwaebe and Bostwick, and
while the sergeant at arms searched for
these officials a brief recess was taken.
Are you an expert accountant
asked Houghton of Schwaebe, on re-
suming.
THAT is for the people to say"
You don't keep these big figures
seek in your head?" said he later.
mo, we have books for that pur-
pose" retorted Schwaebe.
Then the councilman tried to find out
II the voting machines had been paid
for and out of what fund.
The annexationists present here ex-
pressed some uneasness because the
vote counting was not taken up.
Annexatlonists Yield
eff these men are good citizens they
will be willing to miss their dinners
until we probe into this business" he
said aside
The annexationists yielded.
The most important admission made
by Auditor Schwaebe was that he
thought the firemen's fund had $21, 900
to it's credit. This came out when he
was asked why this particular fund
fiuctuated so much.
Then Deputy Bostwick was called on.
One of the first answers was that
there was deficit of $24.0 900 in the fire.
mems fund In which Schwaebe had re-
ported a surplus, but that 1t would be
made good today by apportioning a
sum from the taxes which are coming
into the treasury in great amounts.
Bostwick explained his failure to
make monthly reports by saying that
his bookkeeper had resigned and 1t left
HIM with too much work to do.
Ibid you apply for another?' was
asked.
THAT was not my duty"
'Who signed the mayors name to the
voting machines demand?" asked
Houghton abruptly.
II don't know"
''Whom do you attribute it's use tor"
''rhe mayors office"
1T guess the mayors office needs in
vestigating, too" shouted Houghton.
"Do you consider 1t safe to transact
public business with rubber stamps?"
"You can't very well transact II with
out them"
Bostwick here stated. as did his SUI
perior, that he had no objections to
have experts overhaul the oboks.
The question OF the adVisability OF
changing the form of reports and hav-
ing experts overhaul the books was
finally referred to the city attorneys
Office.

ORGANIZE NEW
JEWISH SOCIETY
Congregation Is to Be Known as Sinai.
Opens Headquarters In
West Pico Street
Hall

AS result of the successful services
which were held by Rabbi Myers in
Simpson Auditorium during the recent
Jewish holidays and which were at
tended by about 1000, a number of
Jewish residents have met and Or
ganized themselves into a new congre-
cation to be conducted on conservative
lines, steering a middle course between
extreme reform and ultra orthodoxy.
The organization has been named
"Sinai Congregation" after Mount
Sinai which is historically connected
with the giving of the Ten Command
ments and with the first organiza tion
of the Israelites into a theocratic and
religious community.
A Biblical sentence has been adopted
as the motto of the congregation. Love
ye truth and peace" Zach. S:19).
DIR. Isidore Myers, B. A., has received
and accepted unanimous call to take
permanent charge of the congregation
as its rabbi. and Rev. Marcel Katz,
from the Vienna Conservatory of
Music, who was associated with Rabbi
Myers at the New Year services, has
been elected hazan or cantor.
Hold Services in Hall
AS soon as possible steps will be taken
to erect a large synagogue. Meanwhile
the headquarters of Sinai Congrega ton
are at the B. B. hall, 521 West Pico
street, where regular services are held
every Friday at o'clock and on Satur-
days at $3.50 O'Clock In the morning.
In connection with the congregation
a religious and Hebrew school has been
opened under the superintendent of
Rabbi Myers, who will be assisted by a
staff of able teachers
The classes meet on Sundays at 10
O'Clock, Tuesdays and Thursdays at
$3.50 and on Saturdays at 11:30.
In addition to. the regular services
special services will be held Friday
nights at o'clock. at which Cantor
Katz, with choir, will officiate, and
Rabbi Myers will deliver the sermons.
The first or inaugural service will be
held Friday night, November 80, at s
o'clock in the Simpson auditorium to
which the public is invited. Arrange
ments are made for a series of free lee
lures to be given on certain Sundays
by Rabbi Myers.
Officers Appointed
A temporary board Of officers of the
congregation has been appointed, con-
sisting of the following: I. Brown, 1.
Eisner. D. Hirsh, ]. l.. Jonas. M. S.
hoIuDlulil, y. l1dNeutltbl, Aullell lOept
NJ Marks, B. Maier. M. Pehr, ]. Rosen-
berg and DIR. l. Salin. Max Cohn has
been appointed collector.
The Jewish Sisterhood of Los An
geles met under the presidency of Mrs.
L Citron, and by unanimous vote the
members affiliated that society as an
auxiliary of the Sinai Congregation to
assist it, more especially in its educa-
tional work.
NJ. S. Kornblum has promised to pre-
sent to the congregation new Scroll
of the Law on the occasion of his cele-
brating his silver wedding on Thanks
giving day.
The Sinai Congregation having be-
gun under favorable conditions with
strong membership and with numerous
promises of support. has every pros
pect of meeting with success and of
erecting much good in the community
of Los Angeles.

A Tithe Collector.

When any one, even the minister, at
tempted an argument with Miss Maria
Higgins, he was pretty sure to find
himself worsted in the end.
The minister objected at times to the
firm manner in which Miss Higgins
placed his duty before him at every
opportunity, although he had a great
respect for her character.
Il can't see my way to preaching a
sermon on tithes just yet" he said
meekly, one day, when Miss Higgins
had been making him a long call. 1.-THE
people haven't much money, you know,
Miss Higgins, and they can't divide up
other things very well. Even you
couldn't, always. Suppose, for in
stance, you should go home and find
your hens had laid fifteen eggs, how
would you manage to give tenth of
them to the Lord?'
81 should come back and take you
and your wife home to tea with me,'
said Miss Higgins, with a grim smile,
"and l guess when I'd made a scram-
BILE of six of those eggs and set you
two down to it the Lord would get his
tithe fast enough

Borrowed Justice,

A country justice of the peace called
upon retired attorney and, after pre-
senting a statement of facts, asked as
a matter of friendship for a legal opin-
ion upon them. This the attorney gave.
When the attorney had finished the
squire rose and said:
"Well, those are just the facts in a
case am a-going to try next Saturday
in my court, and l knowed you would
give me the right kind of an opinion,
so l come to you. The costs in that
case will be just $3.50, and 1 am will
Ing to divide with you. When 1 was
candidate some of the folks in my
county lowed 1 didn't know enough to
run this Office, and 1 intend to show
them that 1 do. The next case I have
I will come to you again, and we will
run that court right or bust a ham
string a-trying."
With that the justice of the peace
dropped $3.75 on his astonished friends
desk and took his departure
