phone company made arrangements
for the starting of crews of linemen
east and west from this city for ex-
tensive Improvements and repairs for
their system between Seattle and
Pasco. The principal feature OF
these improvements will be the con-
struction of an entirely new line for
long distance work from the sound
to Pasco. At present the latter
place has through connections with
Walla Walla, Spokane and Portland
but not with Seattle or Tacoma.
Some of this new line has already
been completed out of the sound
cities and it will not require great
length of time for the completion of
the entire distance.
The trip of the officers of the tele-
phone company was taken to secure
definite knowledge of the amount of
damage the food had done the prop
erty of the company. 1t was found
that in Yakima county alone the sys-
ITEM will require $4,000 worth of
repairs and that the toll lines would
have to be reconstructed. The lines
are working at present but are in
very bad shape and are not giving
satisfaction at all. Mr.. Corcoran and
Mr.. Nelson left for Seattle on the
Monday morning train after consult
ing Manager Laughlin of the city
office on the condition of the local
lines. The damage to the service
in the city proper was not great and
was kept repaired by the regular
force of linemen. SO that no interfer-
ence occurred in the communications
between business houses.

BOVINE DOING TIME"
Watch Found in Cows Stomach Still
Running After Seven Years.

PORTLAND, Nov. 26-Axel Oh
son, rancher on the Upper Cowee-
man near Kelson. Wash, says that
for seven years his watch reposed IN
the stomach Of a COW that had swal-
lowed it, kept running and lost but
three minutes in all that time.
AXel says that he is telling the
truth. and ne has the watch TO show
for it,
One day seven years ago, a play;
ful Young calf found Axel's coat and
vest hanging on a post in the barn
ward Axe did not know at the
time what became of the vest pocket
and watch but both disappeared,
leaving a ragged and torn garment.
The calf. il develops, chewed away
at the vest until the pocket was cut
through and the watch slipped down
its throat
The calf grew into stad and ma
tronly old mich COW, and still the
watch staid in it's stomach.
Last week Axel slaughtered the
COW, which had outgrown its useful
ness A glitter in her stomach
caught his eve II was his watch.
He was still more surprised to see
that the minute hand was running.
The timepiece was really unframed,
though the case was furnished The
watch was a stem winder, and Axel
believes that every time the animal
breathed the stem was turned and
the watch was kept wound up for
these seven years.

The Los Angeles Orphans home at
Anime and Yale streets, Whlch was

steadily ever since and now keeps an
average of one hundred and fifty chill
dren throughout the entire year. Dur
ing it's whole existence it has cared ior
1856 children. The home is non-secta-
rian and state institution ana draws
children from all over this state anu
some from Arizona.
The home keeps up school and the
children who are too small 10 attenu
public school are taught there besides
the regular teaching In sewing anu
cooking which all receive.
At the time of the San Francisco DIS
aster fifty extra children were sent up
taxing the quarters to the utmost while
this year some much needed improve
ments were made and so to catch up
again the home is asking for SuDscrlp-
tions. The home has supported Itself
for ten years, but this season, on ac-
count of the many drains upon 1t, 1t is
in need of help.
The following new officers have been
elected: President. Mrs. A. n. David

.RELIGIOUS RIOT
HAS COURT END
WARRANT ISSUED FOR BRUTAL
OFFICER
Charged That Special Policeman
Pence, Angered by Taunts,
Broke Leg OF innocent
Bystander

A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Special officer Ira Pence,
upon the request of officer Lenhausen.
Pence is accused of brutally attack
ing George w. Scott of 1921 East Fifty
fourth street, when the latter stood
among "a crowd of disturbance makers
around the religious revival meeting
tent at Twenty-hfth and Main streets
Wednesday night.
Scott's leg was broken at result of
being knocked to the ground by Pence,
1t is claimed and he was severely
bruised by blows upon the body and
face.
officer Pence asserts that Scott was
the leader of the rioters Wednesday
night. and that he interfered when he
attempted to arrest a boy for throwing
stones upon the revivalists.
Thursday Pence applied at District
Attorney Eddy's office for complaint
against Scott, but his story appeared to
lack authenticity and the complaint
was denied him until testimony could
be heard from witnesses regarding the
affair.
According to the story told by those
who witnessed the affair." it appears
that Pence became maddened by the
taunts of the crowd when he arrested
the boy for throwing stones, and made
dash for the first man he saw, who
happened to be Scott. Scott, they say,
was entirely innocent of any wrong
doing.

STREET IMPROVEMENT
WILL BE EXPENSIVE
TWELFTH TO BE OPENED FROM
SENToUs TO FIeUERoA
Assessment to Pay for Work Will
Run From Main Street to
Hoover and Take In the Side
Streets

One of the costliest street improve
ments to be recommended by the
board of public works, but one that all
Interested property owners have urg-
emily demanded, is the opening of
Twelfth street, from Figueroa to Sen
tous. The 81 cater part of the cost of
the work will come in assessing dam
ages, as the entire opening will run
through private property, much of
which is improved.
The street will be opened Oh an an
gle from Figueroa to Georgia, crossing
Trenton and Georgia streets and then
straight through the center of the block
between Georgia and Sentous streets
The fact that Twelfth street runs be-
tween Sentous and Georgia after max
ing a jog to the north will be disre-
garded. The new opening will connect
the two ends of Twelfth at Figueroa
and Sentous.
This is in accordance with the wish
of a majority of the petitioners, al
though a minority petition was pre-
sented asking that the Twelfth street
jog be considered a part of the opening
and that slight curve be constructed
to meet it. The assessment district for
the opening will extend from Main
street to Hoover. including about half
u block on each side of Twelfth.

LAWYER HAS GLOOMY VIEW
Fisher Says He Cannot Believe Word
of Any Man in Los
Angeles

Attorney w. w. Fisher believes ev-
eryone in Los Angeles Is a liar. He
told the fire commission so yesterday
and was warmly reprimanded by Com
missioner Anthony Schwamm for eX-
pressing such an opinion. Mr..
Schwamm told him he was lacking in
public spirit and several other things,
and objected to such remarks being
made to the ere board. Mayor McAleer
sustained the objection and refused to
permit Attorney Fisher to talk any
more.
Mr. Fisher appeared before the fire
commission to represent protestants
who objected to j. c. Rombold main
tanning steam boiler at 1854 East
Twenty-second street. Mr.. Rombold
had made application for the boiler,
and told the commission 1t was for
temporary purposes. II was this re-
mark on the part of Mr.. Rombold that
brought forth reply from Attorney
Fisher to the effect that he could not
believe the word of any man in Los
Angeles.
The permit for the steam boiler was
granted for thirty days
