"LEW Is THE LIGHT"
MAY BE ARRESTED
POLICE ADVISE FILING OF AN
INSANITY COMPLAINT
Poses as Fate-Wears Queer Looking
Headgear - HurIs Anathemas
Against Los Angeles - Friehtens
Women and Children

Lew Is the Light" the man who
poses as Fate and wears cap on which
are queer devices representing his sup
posed divine powers, was reported to
the police yesterday as an insane per-
son who needed to be put under re-
straint.
81 have looked into the charge" said
Captain Broadhead, land very much
fear that an insanity complaint would
not hold. Undoubtedly the man is
crazy, but until he commits some overt
act we can do nothing. The proper
course would be for some one to swear
out an insanity complaint in the supe-
rior court"
The mans name Is Lewis B. Green
slade. He lives at S44 Wall street, and
since the earthquake and fire in San
Francisco has been going about the
city projecting other calamities if peo-
pie do not repent. He has been circu-
lating a lot of literature in which he
tells in a rambling jargon why the dis
aster struck the northern metropolis.
Greenslade in the guise of prophet
of evil has succeeded in terrifying
women and children by his excited ges-
lures and his habit of muttering curses
on the city and it's inhabitants.

Samuel King, an aged man run over
by a Pico Heights car Monday morning
at Pico and Fedora streets, died early

parently he sustained no other injury
and it was thought he would recover,
at the time of the accident.
According to the car crew, King at
tempted to pass directly in front OF the

ing of the gong. He was deaf and
friends often cautioned him about
crossing street without watching for
passing cars

among his old-time friends, was a
'forty-niner" and at one time was
postmaster at Fresno. Later he made
his home in San Diego.

FIVE SUPPOSED
CROOKS IN TOLLS
RAID RESULTS IN IMPORTANT
CAPTURE
Men Thought to Be San Franelsco's
Most Clever Criminals Are in
Custody of Los Angeles
Police

Five supposed San Francisco crooks
were arrested early yesterday morning
at a rooming house on New High street
and will be held on suspicion while
detectives investigate their records.
One of the men was Frank Smith,
alias the yellow Kid His pal gave
the name of T. Moutain. but the police
say his underworld title is that of
"Piker Mont
The detectives were unable to find
"Dismond Steve" He is said by the
San Francisco detectives to be one
of their most dangerous crooks. Be
sides the two men, three young women
were also arrested.
1t is thought that they work in con-
junction with their male friends in
various schemes of graft and crooked
ness.
They gave the names of Vickey Dom
inguez, Gertie Walker and Rose Clark.
Information was received several
days ago that six criminal refugees
were rooming on New High street and
raid was carefully planned yester-
day by Detectives Ingram and Red
mond Moore, Carroll and Berchtold of
Captain Broadhead's Office.
Resistance was expected, but no op-
position was encountered.
Diamond Steve" may have had a
premonition of impending trouble for
that willy young man could not be
found.
The police say that an important
capture has been made, and 1t is
claimed that the party can, In all prob
ability, be held accountable~for some
of the recent thefts and robberies in
this city. S
''With the arrest of the yellow Kid
and 'Piker Mont there will be falling
off in reports OF robberies," said De-
tective Redmond. II only wish we had
Diamond Steve as well. The plain
clothes men north warned us about
him. They say he is one of the shrewd-
est in the business" Every effort will
be made to fix some of the recent
thefts upon the two men of the party.
The women will be held on another
charge.

HOLIDAYS CAUSE
COURTS TO HALT
JUDGES MAY HOLD NIGHT
SESSIONS
Final DEGREES Cannot Be Issued Lee
qaIIy-Matters of Importance
Delayed-Divorcee Suffer
Most of All

Jud. ees of the nine departments of the
superior court will hold special meet
ing in Judge Conrey's chambers this
morning to determine what course to
pursue in hearing the many cases now
being postponed because of legal holi-
days. There have been eleven court
days since the commencement of the
holidays and during that time not a
single legal step could be taken, keep
ing court affairs at a standstill
At the meeting this morning the
Judges will decide as to whether the
courts will hold night session for sew
eral weeks after the commencement of
business in order to clear up the extra
cases or whether the calendar will be
extended so as to take in the court
vacation days. 1t is thought the former
course will be pursued and that the
superior judges will occupy the bench
day and night in order to right the
calendars and catch up with the work.
Important Cases Postponed
Many important cases have been
postponed because of the holidays and
are now awaiting trial. There are
habeas corpus petitions and legal pro-
ceedings galore awaiting attention.
AS no legal step of a final nature
could be taken during the past two
weeks f1nal DEGREES of divorce could not
be granted in more than a score of
cases. In many instances the man or
woman in the case has been waiting
anXiously to receive the final papers in
order that he or she might wed again.
Yesterday three anxious persons ap-
peared in court and besought the
clerks to make out final DEGREES in
order that they might again join the
happy throng of the married. But they
were sent away in disappointment and
told to call again after the holidays.

The brakeman on the Owl signalad
the engineer to stop, but the speed Of
the engine did not slacken. The brake
man then jumped from the train, run

AS the flying engine approached, he
noticed that the engineer was asleep
and jumped to the other side of the
track. and gave the fireman the signal
to stop. The engine was brought to a
stop just before it crashed into the

IS THE MANDATE
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
HARD ON employees
Campaigning and suttonhollns Not to
Be Misunderstanding of New
Rule VIII Be Cause for
Dismissal

Keep out of politics. is the mandate
the civil service commission has issued
to every city employe in the service.
No wire pulling for favorite candidates
Is to be permitted during the coming
campaign. A city employe under civil
service may not have the privilege of
taking the stump for the candidate Of
his choice. Even promiscuous button
holing will be met with short, sharp
action on the part of the civil service
commission.
One employe of the street department
who is a member of the Republican
county central committee has been
strongly advised by members of the
commission to hand i'm his resignation
as committeeman Immediately IL he
prefers the position he now occupies,
which is one of considerable profit,
to the uncertainties of politics. He
has replied that his resignation will be
given forthwith. When the ultimatum
reached him yesterday he went to the
city attorney for advice, declaring he
had served as a member of the county
committee for several years and did
not like to give up his place. The city
attorney told him his case was entirely
in the hands of the civil service COM
mission and that he had better resign
his place on the committee.
May Prove Hard Blow
Party leaders predict this will be a
hard blow to the Republican organiza-
ton in Los Angeles. Many who are
now under civil service were party
workers who gained manger room at
the public crib before civil service was
was inaugurated and who were held in
their positions by civil service falling
on them like a mantle. This was three
years ago, but many of them still owe
allegiance to the same political gods
they worshiped when they depended
on them for public snaps.
Their influence was felt to some de-
gree in the last campaign, but if the
civil service commission can stop it by
ousting the violators of their rule it
will be done during this campaign.

WILL STOP ALL
USE OF SEWAGE
BOARD OF WORKS ORDERS ITS
DIScoNTINUANcE
Vegetable Growers In lnsIewood Must
Look Elsewhere for Irrigation
suppIy--Health Board
Favors Plan

Vegetable ranches in the vicinity of
Inglewood will have to look elsewhere
for their irrigation, for the board Of
public works is preparing to shut off
the use OF the city's sewage for irriga-
tion i'm that district.
This was the result of a. conference
between the board and representatives
of the Inglewood Land and Water COM
pany, held yesterday afternoon. This
company has been trying for two years
to have the city discontinue the use of
sewage in Inglewood, as it is anxious
to cut up a large tract of land into
town lots and while sewage irrigation
Is used has found this impracticable.
The action of the board is due, not so
much to the entreaties of the water
company as to the fact that Inglewood
residents are becoming aroused over
what they consider a detriment to the
health of their city and are threatening
the city with damage suits. They have
stood it for number of years, but re-
Gently there has been typhoid fever In
Inglewood. The residents believe this
Is largely due to the use of Los Angeles
sewage for irrigation.
Sewage Good for Vegetation
Since the city has been sending it's
refuse to the sea by means of the out
fall sewer there has always been a
break in the conduit at Inglewood.
Engineers cannot account for the fact,
but it has occurred time and again. 1t
has been patched at this point until but
little of the original conduit remains,
but patches proved unavailing. OF late
years the city has turned this break
into profit by selling the sewage to
vegetable growers around Inglewood.
AS it flows out of the break in the con-
duit it is turned into irrigating bitches
and as a stimulus to vegetation it has
been found excellent.
A few months ago the board of health
issued warning against the use of
vegetables grown by sewage irrigation,
especially those vegetables eaten raw,
and urged the council to discontinue
the sale of the sewage. The council
paid no attention to the request of the
board of health but con ntinued to sell
the sewage.
While it is probable the conduit will
break again, as in the past when it Is
patched by the board of public works,
the Inglewood water company has
offered to provide dumping ground for
it in case another break occurs.
Inglewood is not the only place where
Los Angeles sells sewage for irrigation.
A large number of the vegetable
ranches south of the city are supplied
by the big pipe that runs in that direc-
ton. A large number of tomatoes are
raised by sewage irrigation south of the
city, and the warning of the board of
health applies to this district as well
as to Inglewood.

EAsTsouND TRAVEL is HEAVY
Tourists and Refugees Crowd Outgoing
Trains to Full Capacity

Railroad men say that the travel to
the east is now the heaviest that it has
been this year. Every train leaving
Los Angeles is filled with passengers
for the east and every day there are
many people who apply for berths and
cannot be accommodated.
The officials say that the travel to
the east is not caused by the San Fran
cisco disaster but by the large number
OF tourists who are now returning
home. OF course, some OF the refugees
from the north are travelling to their
old homes in the east, having lost all
of their belongings IN the fire.
