POLICE FEAR ANOTHER
CORSICAN VENDETTA
HUSKY PATROLMAN MAKES a
BRAVE CAPTURE
Outbreak Expected Among Italians
Who Are Much Aeitated by Re-
opening of Feud Started in
Italy

The police officers on the east side
fear vendetta outbreak in the Cor
sican colony and two men arrested
Wednesday night and brought to the
central station yesterday are said to
be among the leaders of a feud that
threatens to extend to large pro-
portions.
According to Patrolman McAuliffe,
Tony Matranza and Joseph Fusco en-
gagged in fight Wednesday night with
Frank and Joseph Ardezona, prominent
members of the Italian n-Corsican colony,
and when discovered by the officer at
Downey avenue and Avenue Nineteen,
Matranza drew his revolver and fired
an ineffective shot at the Ardezona
brothers. When McAuliffe wrested the
pistol from the infurated mans grasp
Fusco attempted to aid his companion.
The big patrolman seized the man by
the neck and shook him as terrier
would a rat. McAuliffe then took both
men to the east side station and
brought them over to the central sta
tion yesterday afternoon.
Information has been obtained by the
police to the effect that the lives of
the Ardezona brothers have been
threatened before as a result of some
long standing feud started in Italy.
The police said last evening that more
trouble was expected in the colony
over the arrests of Matranza and
Fusco. Their cases will come up in the
police court this morning.

DISPUTE OVER TROLLEY RIDE
Police Commission Discusses Action
of Company In Refusing to
Honor "Star"

The police commission held an exec
utive session with Mayor McAleer and
the city attorney last evening to learn
what action could be taken against the
street car companies for refusing to
recognize the police commissioners
stars. Nothing was decided, but the
question will probably come up again
at the meeting of the commission
Tuesday morning.
The meeting was held as a result of
Commissioner James being elected
from a street car Wednesday morning
because he refused to pay fare.
Mr.. James showed his commission
star, which has heretofore been recog-
nized instead of a nickel, but the con-
ductor declared a new order had been
issued to the effect that star No. d.,
which Mr.. James wears, should no
longer be recognized.

BIushing Brides
Several young couples marched up for
licenses but the girls blushed furiously
while the visitors in the office grinned
at and whispered about them so that
the brides-to-b were on the verge of
tears when they finally escaped from
the office.
On San Francisco pension day the
marriage license room, where county
business Of every character is attended,
Is so crowded that the prospective
couples cannot get inside the room and
often have to be taken around through
the upper room of the clerks depart
ment and into the marriage license de-
partment by private stairway.
Before the state law was changed
regarding the appearance of both par
ties to the contract, there was little or
no complaint, as previous to that time
the groom could walk into the office,
hunt up a clerk and get the license
without any trouble or notice. And
even if he was "jollied," he could
stand 1t.
But since the new law has gone into
effect, whereby the young woman must
be present at the issuance of the IL
cense, the clerks room has become un-
popular and efforts will be made to Sc
cure a private room for the marriage
license department

AS RAIN MAKERS BIG SUCCESS
HAS BEEN SCORED
No Danger of Drouths as Long as
Members Continue Selecting Dates
for Tree PIanting-What Was
to Have Happened

If the Arbor day committee would
only incorporate and go into business
1t could make more money than Hat
field ever dreamed of making in bring
ing the blessed rain from the far-famed
sunny blue skies of California.
Three times has the celebration been
postponed and three times have the
school children and the older children,
too, for that matter, been disappointed.
Finally 1t was thought that after
March had passed and April had been
ushered in, it would be fitting time
to plant the trees to commemorate the
day and the loyalty of the citizens of
the city.
After it was too late to change, how
ever, the skies were overcast, the clouds
gathered low and ominous and Jupiter
Pluvius prepared to shed tears.
But the committee and enthusiasts
who had waited so long and had been
disappointed thrice, decided that a lit
tie thing like that would not stop them,
so the parade was formed at Central
park, led by platoon of police and a
band. The band did its best to keep up
the spirits of the participants and on
the way out played lively airs.
A tallyho with the Arbor day COM
mittee and city officials followed the
band, which in turn was followed by
Many an anxious glance was cast at
the sky and clouds but it was then
too late to turn back. Many went into
the park with a look of "all ye who
enter here leave hope behind"
Doomed to Disappointment
The tallyhos, which met the people
at the gate of the park, wended their
way up to Point Lookout, and here was
a great disappointment. Instead of the
vista of the city so well known, which
shows Los Angeles in it's every aspect,
the participants in the joyous occasion
were enshrouded in black looking
clouds and mist.
Not a bit of the city could be seen.
And then, the wind was blowing. And
it blows in no gentle zephyrs on Point
Lookout. 1t came in gusts that were
felt by the thinly clad girls and women,
who had donned their summer dresses
for the occasion. The tall flagpole, the
highest point in the city, surmounted
by the flag, the one bright spot that
did not hang it's head. swayed before
the wind until it seemed that from very

Angeles street, where it comes into the
conduit district, have not felt the wire
nippers, but it is probable they will
today.
In all more than 100 wires have been
removed. These include many disused
wires, but large number of them were
still in use at the time the wire cutters
reached them, and electric light, tele-
phone, telegraph and messenger COM
panies have suffered from the oper-
alton.

POLICE STATION
MAY COLLAPSE
RAINS WEAKEN FOUNDATION
OF STRUCTURE
Officials Fear Excavation and Water
Have Caused Walls of Building
to Be in Grave
Danger

Although the contractors having
charge of the excavation work next to
the police station put in number of
slender braces yesterday, extending
from the east wall of the station to
the adjoining building, there was fear
last night that the east wall might
bulge and the entire side of the struc-
ture collapse.
The heavy rains formed a miniature
lake in the deep pit and filled a trench
which, it was asserted, extended under
the foundation.
Despite assurance of the building in
spector that the police station is en-
tirely safe, those who work close to the
east wall expressed much concern last
evening and when several loud cracks
were distinctly heard it was feared that
the building might collapse during the
night.
Much Alarm Is Felt
1t is said by officers who have been
watching the Workmen, that a number
of them dug under the cement founda-
tion which supports the east wall.
Not only were the police court Off
ctalS disturbed, but downstairs in the
offices of the telephone exchange and
the desk sergeant there was al
most a panic over impending danger
from the wall which might totter and
fall at any minute.
Another complaint will be made to-
day to the building inspector, and the
contractor will be asked to use extra
ordinary care in preventing the sink
ing of the police station wall, an event
which might cause a number of IA
talitieS

CLAIMS MOVEMENT A FIZZLE
Councilman Ford So Refers to At.
tempt Made to Have Him
Recalled

Councilman Fred. Ford of the First
ward declared yesterday that the in
cipient movement to have him re-
called, which was instituted by the
Public Ownership league, Is dead. Ford
had been hunting all over the ward
for a petition asking his recall and
for persons who had signed these
petitions, but his search was unavail-
ing.
1t appears that this movement will
be as much of a fizzle as the one in
stituted against Councilman Healy of
the Eighth ward last fall. In Mr..
Healy's case several petitions were
placed in available places and left
for several days, but not a single sig
ma tire was secured

Grandstand of Varied Hues

gained its upright position and the flag
waved as valiantly as before.
Grandstand of Varied Hues
grandstand had been erected for
the speakers which presented a sorry
appearance by the time the people
were assembled. With the dampness
and wind, the bunting took on varied
hues not planned in the general color
scheme
But here again the pluck and grit of
the true American was shown, and the
exercises were opened with a patriotic
song by the assembled school children.
Bravely did they start but wind and
rain was too much for even the chill
dren, and one by one their voices lost
their accustomed glad ring.
j. A. Haskett took the stand to de-
liver his address, but by this time the
rain was coming down in torrents. His
speech was necessarily brief. He said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Sorry to
say it, but we are obliged to quit"
Crowd Starts for Home
Even these few words could not be
heard by all, but everybody seemed to
understand that it was all off and un-
tremendously started for home.
The person with an umbrella was
valued friend yesterday. In fact UNI
brellaS could have been rented out at
big profit, so anxious were people to
secure them. With all the rain and
wind the crowd was good natured and
many were the pleasantries inter-
changed.
The tallyhos were soon filed and
many started on foot to reach the
entrance of the park. The lucky ones
who had umbrellas in the tallyhos
could not prevent the water from drip
ping down the necks of their neigh
bors and shedding little puddles of
water in various places.
One dainty little woman decided to
take her chance standing up in a tally
ho, but the lurching caused by the wind
and fast driving was not conducive to
a dignified pose. A gallant man just
behind her, but who did not dare to
exchange places. did the next best thing
and offered her a seat ON his knees.
This offer the little lady blushingly re-
fused at first, but she was finally COM
PEELED to accept.
Those Who Didn't Speak
Those who were to speak but didn't
were Miss Mary Foy, DR.. w. A. Lamb
and Lawrence Holmes.
Even the wind and rain could not
restrain Dock" Houghton from being
on the opposite side. He said that he
planted a tree, rain or no rain, but no
one was found who would take the
trouble to verify his statements. Any
way, he was not called upon to do it
again.
The following societies went pre-
pared to plant trees, but the trees were
left at the park to be planted by the
