PROMINENT LAWYER DEAD
Was Well Known as Mining Man and
Deep Sorrow is Felt by
Fraternity

News of the death last week of Otto
e. Runner, a mining man and attorney,
came as a surprise and shock to the
mining fraternity of the southwest yes
terday, especially this state and Ari-
zona. Mr.. Runner was one of the fore
most experts in mining law in this
part of the country and although for
the past several years he had not prac-
ticed he was consulted on obscure
points of law up to the week of his
death.
Mr. Runner was born in Illinois forty
two years ago and received an extern
sive education in the schools and the
university of the state. When 25 years
old he removed to ST. Joe, Mo-, and
entered the legal profession, but came
to Southern California; eight years
later for his health. He took par
ticular interest in mining law and be-
came recognized authority in that
branch. He leaves a wife and young
son-Ellswort 8 years of age-in this
city and four sisters in the east. The
funeral services were held at the home,
1928 West Thirty-eighth street, and the
interment was at Rosedale.

STOP ELEVATORS
FOR INSPECTION
OPERATORS MUST SECURE A
LICENSE
Boiler Examiners office Too Busy to
Perform Duties and the City
Council Provides Additional
Help for Service

The board of examining engineers
has called special meeting for tonight
for the purpose of testing the knowl-
edge of unlicensed elevator operators
employed in Los Angeles buildings. 1t
is probable that all who are able to
meet the requirements of the license
ordinance will be compelled to secure
license or will be restrained from
working as elevator operators in the
CITY,
A great deal of agitation has been
stirred up by the recent disclosures
showing the neglect on the part of
elevator inspectors in allowing unlt-
censed and inexperienced men and mere
boys to be intrusted with the respon-
sible duty of running elevators to the
menace of many lives.
The elevators in a few of the build
ings employing unlicensed operators
were yesterday morning required to
suspend operations until licensed men
were obtained.
Although City Boiler Inspector Hol-
loway and his assistant, f. e. Hay
ward, are accused of the most flagrant
neglect in performing their duties OF
seeing to it that only licensed operators
are employed, 1t is admitted that the
boiler inspectors office is not supplied
with sufficient help. In view Of this
fate, an ordinance was yesterday
passed by the city council providing
for another inspector, as 1t was found
that the revenues of the boiler inspec-
tors office were ample to sustain the
expense of the additional man.
]. II. Mcclure resigned from the
board OF engineers and was at once
appointed chief inspector of elevators.

OBJECTS TO "G00EY" TALK
EVERY 80 MINUTES
Husbands Like 1t, Though, and EN-
pIoye Uses Deadly Feather Dus-
ter in Response to Pawn
brokers' Arguments

M. White, a young man who has
been in the employ of Michael Silver
stein, pawnbroker at 1872 North Alta
street, was yesterday given jury trial
in Police Judge Roses court on a
charge of battery, preferred by Silver
stein. The jury returned a verdict OF
not guilty within five minutes
White was accused by Silverstein OF
having beat him on the head with the
handle of a feather duster until his
scalp was bruised and deeply cut.
According to the testimony OF wit
nesses, however, it was shown that
Silverstein had been the aggressor and
struck White a blow in the face when
the clerk had made some remark that
displeased him. White then retaliated
by using the feather duster as a
weapon.
The prosecution tried to show that
the feather duster was deadly weap-
on, but the Judge decided that the
application was rather far-fetched.
The real cause for the trouble ap-
pears to be that the clerk became an
noyed because Silverstein's young wife
to whom the pawnbroker had just been
married, called up her 'duckie dear"
at least thirty times each day to in
quire if he still loved her.
This seemed to be all foolishness to

AUXILIARY PUMP
HELPS OUTFALL
COUNCIL AUTHORIZES RELIEF
FOR SEWER
Temporary Cuts, Draining Waste
Water Into Adjoining Land,
Bring Protests From Own
ers of Subdivisions

Much of tht councils time yesterday
was taken up with discussion of the
outfall sewer problem.
For a week the city has maintained
an experimental pump near the polnt
where Stansbury & Powell abandoned
their contract on section 3 to see II
surplus sewage could be diverted.
One pump proved to be Inadequate IN
reducing the flow, and the city en-
gineer's office determined that an addi-
tional pump would do the work salts
.factorily. Authority to get the addi-
tional pump was bestowed yesterday,
and as soon as it is installed the
pressure inside the outfall sewer VIII
be reduced greatly.
Councilman 'Houghton did not relish
any further expenditures.
For heavens sake let's not throw
away any more money on that outfall
sewer" said he. "We have the Owens
river water to get. The old sewer Is
falling to pieces and engineers tell me
It can never be built on it's present
plans"
Diversion More Difficult
It appears that recently temporary
outlets were made in the sewer ana
some of it's contents diverted on lower
lands adjacent. Owing to the many
subdivisions that are being opened up
in that territory his plan is no longer
feasible. as owners and agents object
to having the contents drain INTO
property near theirs.
In this connection the city engineers
office submitted a table of employees
for whose employment authority was
