the voyage over was good. but an cpl

one hundred persons died.
Penn was enthusiastically greeted on his
arrival by the Dutch and swedes, who
then dwelt at New Castle. He called the
people to the Court House and addressed
them. Penn at that time was thirty-eight
years old in the full vigor Of his man
hood, and his speech so impressed the in
habitants that they begged him to unite
their territory with his. and become its
chief and governor. This was done by an
act Of union passed at Chester during the
same year.
The day after his arrival he took formal
possession Of the territory; the province
was divided into counties. which were in
turn subdivided into building lots. and
the land was disposed Of a fourpence an
acre.

The mid winter session of the Los
Angeles presbytery convened yesterday
at the Knox Presbyterian church,
with Rev Mr.. Davis of Coronado as

The topic Of main interest was the
acceptance of the resignation of Rev.

Boyle Heights church. DR.. Maclaren
went to the church when it was in a
state of internal strife and has greatly
built up it's membership. The church
is very reluctant to part with him. He
will settle in Los Angeles and en-
the Hollenbeck home was appointed
moderator of the Boyle Heights church
session which win select a pastor to
succeed DR.. Maclaren. Several of the
clergymen spoke in high esteem of the
work accomplished by DR.. Maclaren.
Two young men, Sydney Mckee and
Oscar Settle, We're received into the
care of the presbytery and later will
become candidates for the ministry.

MORIARTY CASE NOT DECIDED
Civil Service Commission Fails to
Return Verdict in Trial of Build
ing Inspector

No decision was made by the civil
service commission yesterday in the
trial of d. A. Morarty, a building in
spector.
Moriarty's case was one of the longest
that the civil service commission has
had 70 deal with. 1t occupied the en-
tire time OF five special siLtings.
In the evidence the proseou tion made
an effort to show that Moriarty was in
league with a builder of fire escapes
and received l. ''rake-off' from ell fire
escapes which he certified built by
the one contractor and that he dis
eliminated in favor of this contractor
and against others who refused him a
bonus.
1t was brought out in the testimony
that but few fire escape manufacturers
were making any effort whatever to
comply with the present ordinance
governing such structures. and experts
were introduced by the defense to show
that the requirements of fire escapes
under the present ordnance were en-
tirely too rigorous for the uses to
which they are put.
Moriarty was said to have given
his 80 X" to fire escapes of such
flimsy construction and so poorly at
tached to buildings that they were
positively dangerous.
