.HOUGHTON PLUM
BEYOND REACH
MAY0R-ELECT AND HEALTH
BOARD OPPOSED
Chavez Rsvine Hospital $3.50 a Month
Snap for "Doe" Meets Dlsap-
proval of Municipal
League, Too

The plan to pension Dr. Arthur
Houghton retiring councilman, by
making him superintendent Of the de-
tention hospital, which has had but
one patient, will be allowed to die
peaceably.
Members of the city council soon to
go out of office kept their promise by
voting for the creation of the office at
$3.50 a month, but they did so without
the sanction Of the board of health,
which pays the health commissioner of
Los Angeles only as much as that.
Mayor-elect Arthur G.. Harper has
told friends who asked him about the
Houghton job that at is not UP to" him
yet, and this Is regarded as equivalent
to a veto of the scheme.
Secretary c. d. Willard of the NUM-
cipal league has also stated that no
such program will be carried out. Will
lard has long been fighting Houghton,
and they ire bitter enemies. Several
times because Secretary Willard hap
pened to occupy stray councilman's
chair when it's proper occupant was
absent. or If Willard was seen talking
to members while the council was in
session, Houghton had objected to the
presence of a non-member in the reser-
walton set apart for councilmen.
Although the present health board
goes out of office soon, Mayor-elect
Harper appoints the new board, and
Houghton's fate will rest largely with
the new men.
The Sixth ward councilman has often
protested against squandering public
funds, and those opposing the creation
of the Chavez ravine sinecure say that
it is highly inconsistent to pay a man
$3.50 month for holding down few
vacant cottages when one Of" the as
si-tant doctors at the city hospitals
could do the work just as well.

WOMAN THREATENS
LIVES OF MANY
Would Kill Any One Who Approached
Her, but Is Arrested and
Locked Up as
Insane

After threatening to kill any person
who approached her. Virginia Sartores
% years of age, was arrested at the
Young Women's boarding house on
East Fourth street early last night and
taken to the police station. She is
thought to be insane, and will be re-
moved to the county hospital today.
The young woman has been employed
at the home of former Patrolman Mike
Shannon for some time. Recently her
actions became so eccentric that she
was discharged, and since that time she
has been living at the home.
Yesterday she went out to Shannon's
house at 1870 Bonsallo street and is
said to have become violent and threat
ened Mrs. Shannon. After she departed
Mrs. Shannon telephoned the police and
told them of the young woman's
actions.
Officers were at once sent to the
boarding house, arriving there about
the same time as the girl. AS soon as
she saw them she became greatly ex-
cited and threatened their lives. When
arrested she cooled down considerably,
but it was thought best to take her to
the station.

COMPROMISE ON
OUTFALL BREAKS
CITY AND RANCHERS REACH
UNDERSTANDING
Board of Public Works Gets Privilege
of Running bitches Over Pri-
Vate Lands for Counter
Concessions

Most of this week the board of public
works has been wrestling with the
problem of how to dispose of the sur
plus sewage in the outfall district.
With the advent of the rainy season
the usual breaks in the sewer are re-
ported day after day, and the dis
charged volumes find their way over
adjoining property, much to the alleged
disgust of rancherS.
Many of the owners of lands adjoin-
ing the sewer line have been at the city
hall this week to learn what could lie
done to remedy conditions and a COM
promise has been arrived at.
Hereafter in cases of breaks city en-
ployes will construct bitches to carry
the surplus water into low-lying places.
These lines of distribution have be-
come pretty well marked and are shown
on engineers department maps
In return for this privilege of carry
ing the sewage wherever it may be
deemed necessary over private lands
the city agrees to let ranchers have as
much of the sewage for irrigation pur-
poses in the dry seasons as they may
need, free of charge; also all the water
they may need from city mains. This
compromise aVertS any chance of suits
for damages too.
This is merely temporary eXpedient,
as it is believed that the new outfall
sewer will be constructed in it's entirety
by the first of January, 1908. AT that
time all the contents of the big outlet
will be carried into the ocean at a
point where the city owns the ocean
frontage for hundreds of feet.
The members of the board of public
works have made a number of trips
recently into the outfall sewer district,
and the staff of engineers on City En-
gineer Homer Hamlins department
have studied the surplus sewage prob
lem which this week has proved serious
because of the heavy rains.

TEAMSTER IS KNOCKED
FROM WAGON SEAT

A wagon belonging to the California
Truck company and driven by Dan
Jenkins was struck by an interurban
car near Also and Alameda streets
last night. The man was knocked
from his seat, but was not injured,
the front part of the wagon was de-
molished. The horses escaped with
slight lacerations. Witnesses say that
the accident was due to the teamster's 8
reckless driving, for they say he at
tempted to cross in front of the car
when 1t was within a very few feet of
his team.
