THREATENS TO
KILL GOVERNOR
JANlTOR OF SOLDIERS HOME
SPEAKS HASTILY
Regrets His Action, but Asserts He
Was Justified In Refusing to
DO the Work of ain
Orderly

Charged with having threatened to
kill the governor of the soldiers home
at Sawtelle, H. C. Moorman, janitor of
that institution. was yesterday ar
raigned before Justice Young of the
township court and his bail fixed at
$780, in default of which he went to the
county jail to await preliminary ex-
animation.
Moorman was arrested yesterday
morning by Deputy Constable Jack
Adams on a felony warrant sworn out
by Louis La Grange, brother of o. H.
La Grange, the governor of the home.
According to the governors story,
Moorman. during an argument with
him over a charge of INSTRUMENTATION
recently preferred against the janitor,
became excited and seized fire ak and
threater\1 to chop off the governors s
head, bus was restrained from his un-
merciful purpose by mutual friends
who did not like to see Moorman get
in trouble or the governor injured. 1
But the governor was not satisfied
with the termination of the trouble and
the insult to his dignity and with his
brother to swear to the complaint and
himself and son as chief witnesses,
Governor La Grange caused the old
janitor to be arrested and he must
stand examination on December rs.
Moorman yesterday explained his diff
ficulties with the governor 1.-THE quar-
rel which nearly resulted in trouble has
been the cause of much talk at the
home and 1 want to make statement
regarding it," said Norman.
Objected to Rulings
"In the first place, 1 had had some
difficulty with the governor because of
his arbitrary rulings. l had served in
the army as well as he and l did not
| intend to be talked to like 1 was a
big meeting at Memorial hall and
Bishop Conaty was to speak there.
got the hall in good shape and closed
the doors and left Some time later
when / returned there was trouble
over the fact that the doors were
closed. The governor ordered me to
open the doors. 1 stated that it was
the business of the orderly to open the
doors and that he had been stationed
there for that purpose, whereupon the
governor became excited and demanded
that 1 open the doors and did so and
the meeting was held.
"A few days later l was called before
a court of inquiry, with the governor
at the head, to answer charge of in
subordination.
Il contended that 1 had not acted
improperly when 1 refused to open the
door and then there was a lot of talk.
1 am quick-tempered man and ad-
nit that acted in temper and without
thought, for I made threats and
grabbed fire ak. but put it down
again.
1T has been the only offense 1 have
ever committed during my stay of eight
years at the home. have always been
at my work and have not been away
from the home at night more than four
or five times in eight years. 1 am
quick-tempered and will admit it and
l spoke hastily"
Many friends of the accused man
have enlisted themselves in his service
Moorman fought through the civil war,
being discharged after the war with
homer He is now 65 years old.

aration

Los Angeles fine park system has
advanced in Improvements during the
year as shown by the report of Park
superintendent j. d. Morley, filed yes
terday.
With the limited funds on hand much
praise has been bestowed by tourists
and visiting officials from other cities
on the fine showing made here, nature
also being given credit for her magni-
ficent cooperation.
Superintendent Morley in the intro
duction to his interesting review of
the years work says:
"A large amount of planting has been
done in some of the parks, notably
Elysian, South, Sycamore and Griffith
parks; in the others planting was more
in the nature of making new groupings
and remodeling others.
Hauling Is Expensive
AS usual one of our most expensive
items is the hauling Of soil and ma
terial for filling to grade of low ground
and also the raising of grade as In
South park to take off part the fiat ap-
pearance and give Ii an undulating
contour. Many thousand yards of ma
terial was used in this work and we
have been greatly assisted by Captain
Felts in charge of the city prisoners,
they having delivered several thousand
loads of material to Sunset, Echo and
Griffith parks.
Work on Sycamore grove is we'll
under way and the park will soon be
one of the beauty spots of the city.
I'm Westlake park the regarding of
the swamp ground that was drained
last year has been one of the main
items of expense in the park. A large
concrete tool house is being erected at
the present time and many more i'm
provements are contemplated.
.In Eastlake park the hill at the rear
of the conservatory has been laid out,
walks constructed on easy grade and
about two acres seeded to lawn and
planted with some choice palms, trees
and shrubs
Lily Pond Popular
at Sunset park great deal of new
work has been done. Many thousand
yards of material has been hauled for
filing in a large lily pond constructed
at the base of the knoll on the north
side of the park. Next summer this
should prove quite an attraction with
the lilies in bloom.
South park has had drives all re-
graded and oiled and we now have the
best oiled drives to be found in the
city.
THE United States Forestry bureau
again donated trees for Griffith park,
3700 pines and cedars being sent us.
They were planted in a better location
than those of the years before and we
may hope to have large percentage
of them grow.
cover 10000 feet of new road has also
been constructed, which is greatly ap-
preciated for driving, of which there is
much more than formerly"

REPUBLICAN CLUB HOMELESS
Quarters Occupied by the League on
Spring Street Are surren-
derad

Last night ended the existence OF the
Republican League club. at least as q
social organization.
Quarters which have been occupied
by the club during the past year at
11Sh South Spring street have been
surrendered, and the keys turned over
to the agents of the building.
It is said that the club never has
been on a paying basis, but that It
was sustained by the assistance of the
city and county committees. Now that
the campaigns are over these COM
mittees no longer require quarters Of
any des cription, and as a result the
club decided to give up its quarters.
A movement has been started by
several OF the members to form a Re-
publican whist club and secure more
modest quarters.

TO GUARD HARBoR INTERESTS
Chamber Of Commerce VIII Ask Gov
ernment to Withhold Requests
for Riuhte

In an effort to protect the public's
interests IN the harbor at San Pedro
the government will be asked to post
pone action for the present on any
request for right to make improve-
ments.
At meeting yesterday Of the cham
Der of commerce committee on har-
bors Il was decided to ask Capt. A. A.
Fries, United States engineer, to make
no recommendations at present on re-
quests for permission to dredge cham

This action was taken owing to the
efforts of the Southern Pacific and It's
allied interests to secure possession,
through dredging, of a strip of land
which would be created along the Will
