FIRE OCCURS IN ELECTRIC
LIGHT PLANT
Three Hundred Thousand Incandes-
cents Are Burned Out--Many
Stores Either Close or
Use Candles

FIFTY thousand dollars loss and the
burning out of 100000 incandescent
lights were the results of a small and
apparently unimportant fire In the
electric plant Of the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company at Sixth street
and Palmetto avenue at 7:40 last night.
The giant switchboard i'm the trans.
formation room of the plant was de-
stroyed and OF the twelve great power
generators only three were In working
order at o o'clock
The destroying of the transformers
also greatly affected the gas supply,
as they were the ones which We're used
in the distribution Of the gas which is
used i'm many sections of the city, and
as a result hundreds of houewive today
probably will have to resort to the de-
vices used two weeks ago. during the
gas famine, to cook their meals
Crossed Wires Possible Cause
The fire was discovered by employees
in the transformation room shortly be-
fore the alarm was turned in. How it
started is not known, but it is thought
that il was due to crossed wires. 1t
YVES not at first thought there was any
serious danger, as the flames We're
small and near the roof. An alarm was
at once sent in, but before the engines
arrived the employees discovered that
the fire was more dangerous than was
at first supposed. and a second alarm
was turned in. Before the engines ar
rived at the scene the flames had
reached the switchboard, which is To-
Gated i'm the room, and within a few
moments it was useless The fire next
spread to the generators, and in spite
of all that could be done only three of
them were saved.
All the iron and steel in the building
was at a white heat. while the ma
chinery was so hot that the firemen
could not touch ii. This fact, with the
danger of live wires. made the work of
fighting the flames doubly dangerous
and it was only by eXerting the great
est caution that the men were able to
extinguish the fire.
The transformation room, the switch
board room and the basement were all
burned out. but by far the greatest loss
will be in the switchboard. transform
ers and machinery which We're de-
stroyed.
Stores Compelled to Close
The incandescent lights which went
out as result of the fire We're in many
different sections of the city and the
business district suffered greatly OH
account of their loss. In many of the
stores lamps and candles were burned,
while in others it became necessary to
lock the doors.
w. b. Cline, president of the Los An
gelcs Gas and Electric company, who
was present at the fire, said
Although the fire and loss of the
transformers will probably affect
the gas supply some, 1 feel confident

studded gold badge by his deputies last
night at a meeting of the officers elect
held in the reception room of the Mer
chants and Manufacturers apartments.
The presentation Of the emblem,
which is one of the finest ever given an
officer in the southwest country, was
made by Hammel's old-time friend and
comrade, Martin Aguirre, former war
den of the states penitentiary, who is
to have charge of the county Jail dur
ing Hammels administration.
Aguirre was selected because of his
long standing friendship with the
sheriff, and there was note of senti-
ment and feeling in his voice as he pre-
scented the token that caused tears to
come to HammePs eyes.
