CARS WILL NOW
STOP At CORNERS
COUNCILMAN SMITH WINS HIS
POINT
Ordinance Passed compeIs EIectrics
to Come to Halt at Street Inter-
sections Instead of Middle
Of the Block

Councilman Smith has won the vic
tory over the street car companies he
has so long fought for and hereafter
the street cars will be compelled to
again stop squarely at street intersec-
tions. instead of nearly in the middle
OF the block as has been the case since
the first of the year.
Attorney w. E. Dunn, representing
the Huntington railways, appeared be-
fore the council and asked that body
to make a personal investigation be-
fore passing the ordinance.
This plan of drawing up one car
length from the street intersections
in the business district was adopted for
the purpose of relieving congestion in
the crowded DISTRICTS, said Mr.. Dunn.
I'VE are anxious to give Los Angeles
the best street car service in the world
and we thought this little idea helped
some. We do not make dollar out of
the proceeding. 1t is simply in the in
terests of the people"
Councilman Smith explained that he
had made careful personal investiga-
tion.

CITY THREATENS TO CHOP
LUMBER COMPANY'S FENCE
GAllAHLS CLAIM LAND BY "AD-
VERSE POSSESSION"
Property Owners Demand That OBJ
struction Be Removed and Council
Orders the Board of Works to
Do 1t

The board of public works was yes
terday instructed by the city council
to chop down the fences of the Ganahl
Lumber company that have been built
in such a way as to obstruct Barranca
street, which is not a street proper, but
city lands.
A petition was yesterday received by
the city council from property owners
living on Avenues Eighteen, Nineteen
and Twenty, asking that some steps be
taken to remove the distractions on
Barranca street and open the street
for public use.
The Ganahl Lumber company,
through Attorney Frank James. pro-
tested on the ground that although
this land was originally city property,
the lumber company claimed it by right
of adverse possession. Evidence was in
troduced to show that the lumber com
pany had enjoyed the undisputed use
of this property since 1887 and on this
account it claims the land.
Assistant City Attorney Hewitt stated
that Barranca street had never been
dedicated as a public highway, but
would not admit the right of the lum-
ber people to claim the land.

MRS. RAYMOND
WAS CRAzEO
COR0NER'S JURY EX0NERATES
HOLLYWOOD WOMAN
Husband and Mother Tell of Eccen-
tricities Prior to Asphyxiation
and Lunacy Trial Will
Follow

BY the verdict of the coroner's jury
yesterday morning Mrs. Kate ,. Ray
mond, who killed her son Frank at her
Hollywood home a week ago by turning
on the gas with intent of ending her
own life at the same time, was freed
from the possible charge of murder.
for the jury found that the terrible
act was committed while the woman
was insane.
The verdict was: 1--WE find that
Frank Raymond came to his death
through asphyxiation during the tenn
porary insanity of his mother, Mrs.
Kate b. Raymond"
The inquest was held at the morgue
of Pierce Bros. at II O'Clock.
Mrs. Raymond, too i'll to attend, lay
on her bed at the county hospital and
her mental condition was described by
DR.. Joseph H. Hall of the hospital staff.
Husband Admits Separation
The unfortunate husband, Frank X.
Raymond, who arrived Sunday after
noon from Washington. D. c., sat close
to the body of his beloved child. He
was asked but few questions. He said
that he had not lived with his wife for
several years.
The white-haired mother, Mrs. Martha
c. Cook of San Diego, told the jury that
her daughter had been mentally un-
sound since the birth of her boy.
Other witnesses described the manner
in which young Raymond was put to
death and told how they found the
body lying on a little cot, while the
unconscious form of the mother was In
a kneeling posture by the bedside.
Several Hollywood people who knew
Mrs. Raymond described her as erratic,
peculiar and probably insane.
Reach Verdict Quickly
1t took the jury but two minutes to
reach it's decision, which practically
exonerated Mrs. Raymond from any
criminal intent.
The woman will, in all probability,
be examined before an insanity com
mission in the superior court and be
sent to an asylum.
The funeral of Frank Raymond was
held in the afternoon at the Hollywood
cemetery chapel
Mr.. Raymond will pay a visit to his
wife at the county hospital and after
settling up affairs here return to his
duties at Washington, where he is
employed by the government

NO REDRESS FOR sUNSETITES
Exorbitant Prices for Boulevard Inn
provements Must Be Paid, City
Attorney Rules

Property owners on Sunset boulevard
froni Beaudry avenue to douglas
street I7rllst pay the assessed price of
improving that thoroughfare according
to contract In spite of the exorbitant
figure, in the opinion of the city at
torney. He told the council yesterday
that the proceedings had gone too far
for protest on account of the contract
price to be considered by that body.
The property owners. represented by
Fielding ]. Stilson, complained that
forty-one cents for curb and twenty
two cents for sidewalk was double what
other similar improvements had cost
in other parts of the city, and wanted
the contract set aside. But the work
has already been performed and al
though the city engineer agrees with
the property owners in declaring the
price exorbitant. it must be paid.

Dock Houghton was yesterday grant
ed a two weeks leave Of absehce by
the city council.
The Sixth ward disturber was not
present at the council meeting yester-
day and when Councilman Smith moved
that Houghton be given two weeks
leave of absence, every other council
man in the hall rushed to second 1t with
an enthusiasm that would have made
Houghton's face as red as his hair II he

The seconds were as vigorous as the

meeting and Councilman Hitler jumped
out of his seat in his eagerness to have
his vote registered as the second.
Houghtons absence yesterday has

PAYS HIS FINE ON
A CHARGE OF BATTERY
sTABBING CASE DWlNDLES DOWN
TO BATTERY
On Attorneys Advice B. H. swaring-
ton Pleads Guilty of Assaultins
H. w. Burr With Pair Of
TWeezers

On advice of his counsel, B. H. Swar-
ington, charged with assault with a
deadly weapon upon H. w. Burr,
pleaded guilty to charge of battery
and was fined fifty dollars yesterday
afternoon by Justice Austin.
The neighborhood of Walrath and
Forty-fourth streets was we'll repre-
sented in court and both parties to the
action had plenty of sympathizers.
H. w. Burr, the complaining witness,
said that Mrs. Swarington came to his
house on the evening of April 13 and
became involved in an altercation with
his wife.
"She then turned on me and called me
liar" continued the witness.
II said. You are a lady, She re-
peated her epithet to me and l replied
with the same remark, You are a
lady
Il then told her to go home and fol-
lowed her into the yard. Just then Mr.
Swarington rushed in and stabbed me
several times, I did not care to fight
with an armed man in the dark and so
went into the house and my wife called
for a DOCTOR"
Mrs. Burr corroborated the statements
of her husband and emerged
triumphantly from tilt with Earl
rogers. couhsei Ior the ueleilse'
Swarington went on the stand and
said that he heard his wife scream for
help and lightly armed with pair of
tweezers, rushed upon his much larger
antag gonist. He claimed that Burr
struck him and ripped his coat and In
retaliation he plunged the sharp points
of his instrument into the others s
yielding form and that ended the con-
test
A physician said that Burr received
three cuts; one on the left side, one
on the chest and one behind the right
ear. None Of the wounds were serious.

FALSE ALARMS
ARE CHRONIC
FIRE CHIEF IN DESPAIR AT
MISCREANTS' WORK
Favors Penitentiary Punishment for
offenders Who Are Giving De-
partment Unnecessary Runs.
Boys Usually Offend

More false alarms have been turned
into the fire department in the last
two weeks than were responded to in
the previous two months
Owing, it is believed. to the easy
way that offenders have been treated
up to the present time, there seems to
be no restraining force to keep the
fire department do more work than
necessary.
Chief Lips said yesterday when asked
about the unusual frequency of false
alarms:
Whenever we have caught anyone
who turned in false alarm, it is either
a boy about eight or ten years old or
else drunken man.
There is no way to locate an offend
er unless a police officer happens to
see someone commit the offense. Then
when one of the miscreants is caught,
he is usually lightly dealt with by the
courts. In many states it is a pen
itentiary offense to turn in false
alarm and it should be in California.
Both From Hope Street
InlS AFTERNOON lHere were INo
alarms turned in. One at the corner
of Eleventh and Hope and the other
at the corner of Eighth and Hope. 1t
is probable that both were turned In
by the same person. All we can do In
a case like that is to report the occur
ence to the police and If they find the
offender he is prosecuted.
I'm several sections of Los Angeles
we cannot leave the keys in the boxes,
for the number of false alarms that
would come in from them is something
scandalous.
THE keys of the box at the corner
of Buena Vista and Sunset boulevard
cannot be kept there nor can the ones
for the box at Main and Wilhardt and
for box 236 in Boyle Heights.
when we used to leave the keys in
the boxes at these places false alarms
came in at the rate of three or four a
week.
Some action should be taken that
would deter maliciously inclined young
sters and others from turning in false
alarms"
The police discovered last night that
q kodak fiend, anxious to take a snap
shot of fire department responding to
a call, was responsible for an alarm
turned in about 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon from the box at Eighth and
Hope streets.
Several small boys are authority for
the statement that they saw man
equipped with big camera run to the
box, turn in the alarm and wait to see
the engines arrive. They said that he
disappeared after taking snap.

counted the cars as they passed. On
one occasion 1 counted thirteen cars
that had pulled up about the middle OF
the block before stopping when there
was not another car anywhere near to
come in behind. 1 am making a low
average when I say that in not one
case in seven is there ever car fol-
lowing the one that pulls up to the
middle of the block"
Although BILLY" Dunn usually gets
what he wants from the council. he had
to accept defeat yesterday, for the
council passed the ordinance.

Sunday night and three revolvers and
six watches were stolen. A front Win

who claimed that he had been held
up at the point of a revolver at Ar

charge that Bartelson was ''rolled"
while in a condition of exhilaration. He

mistake made in the different coun-
tries by ministers who have the
charge Of the financial department
of the State. He says they like to
calculate the sum the State gets from
the duty on alcohol, but they should
d,duct from it the cost TO the COM
munity Of the family of the ruined
drunkard, his degenerate, infrm,
scrofulous and epileptic children, who
must have shelter. This invasion of
alcoholism ought to be regarded by
everyone as public danger, and this
principle, the truth of which is incon-

the masses, that the future of the
world will be in the hands of the
