VAccINATED ELF is VOTED
HEALTH DEPARTMENT PET

Little Helen Zeiger, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. N. Zeiger, yesterday was voted
the pet of the health department.
She was one of the prettiest and most
winsome of the hundreds of future NAM
mas who three times week visit the
vaccination office. She expects to attend
the California street school and had sub
mitted to vaccination on Monday.
Helen had playful tussle with play
mate Yesterday and the bandage was torn
from her scratched" arm. She realized
that something awful had happened, but
held back the tears and persuaded ner
mother to go forthwith to the health
office.
Drs. Powers and Garcelon had left only
a few minutes before in the department
auto on an inspection trip, but Miss
Thornton, the head nurse, was sent for
and she obligingly came down from her
office on the fourth floor of the city hall
and dressed the wound.
The Zeigers live at $50 North Hill street.

his charge was derailed and upset June
8. John Harris. a motorman formerly in
the employ of the Los Angeles Railway
company. was placed on trial in depart
ment four of the superior court yester-
day before Judge w. P. James.
Most of the day was spent in securing
jury, after which the state put on sew
eral witnesses to prove that the defend
ant was in charge of the car on the day
of the wreck. No new testimony devel-
oped at time for adjournment, and the
case was continued until this morning.
Harris was in charge of car on the
Eagle Rock line Sunday. June 9, and is
accused of approaching the curve at the
corner of Eagle Rock and Central ave-
nues at too high rate of speed. Just be-
fore reaching the curve his car ran down

examination held before Justice Stephens,
the defense claimed the flanges of the
wheels on the car were flattened and

MOVE THEIR LAUNDRY AND
HAVE SMOOTH SAILING

Calm Brothers obtained a permit yes
terday to operate a steam boiler and
electric motor for their steam laundry
at 76s-n Buena Vista street in business
district, Chief Lips recommending the
grant.
The block is bounded by Ord, Alpine,

heirs of Francis G. Mascotti. Los An
geles College Clinic association, Coulter

a hermit to use an old skating rink at
1910 San Pedro street, but on protests
being filed they were permitted to with
draw this application without prejudice
to the new location.
In the latter case Acting Chief En-
eineer George H. O'Donnell recommended
that the permit be granted, notwithstand-
ing the protests. as the San Pedro street

SAN PEDRO WINS
IN FIRST INNING
ANNEXATION CASE TRIED BY
QUO WARRANTo
Charge Is Made That Long Beach
Padded Election Rolls and Re-
fused Franchise to Quali-
fled Electors

More than half the population of Long
Beach attempted to crowd into Judge
Conrey's courtroom yesterday to hear the
trial of the quo warranto proceedings
brought by the attorney general against
that city.
The city of San Pedro is the real plain
tiff in the case, but owing to a techni-
cality could only bring the suit in the
nature of quo warranto proceedings with
the sanction of Attorney General Webb,
which was quickly Forthcoming.
In the complaint, San Pedro charges
Long Beach attempted to annex the strip
of land between the two villages by pad
ding the election rolls with voters who
really lived In Los Angeles, New Mexico
and other places.
Further it was charged that the resi-
dents OF. the contested precinct were not
given the privilege of voting, and when
the election was held by the voters of
Long Beach and other places the annex
alton carried by majority of only two
votes
The complaint alleged that if the votes
of the residents of the much-coveted ter
ritory had been counted the result would
have been a defeat of the Long Beach
annexation by more than sixty votes. To
further complicate matters the San Pedro
ans held an election of their own, in
which they invited the settlers of the
contested strip to vote.
This election resulted in San Pedro
annexing the strip with an overwhelming
majority, something like fifty votes.
Then came the tug of war. Both of the
beach resorts claimed jurisdiction over
the territory both had annexed. and the
San Pedro folks resorted to the courts
to settle the matter.
In the trial yesterday many witnesses
testified for the plaintiff. which rested
its case about o'clock. Then the defense
moved for a continuance, on grounds
which neither the court nor attorneys
for San Pedro could make out. The mo-
tion was denied, and as Long Beach
pouted and refused to play the game
further, Judge Conrey ordered counsel
for the plaintiff to draw up bill of fare,
stating just what they wanted, and he
will rule for the plaintiff

BRUSH FACTORY MAY BE
TOO MUCH OF FIRE RISK

Petition for an electric moor for ope-
rating brush factory at 1906 South Park
avenue was yesterday referred by the

quest be denied as the applicant is put

east by Griffith avenue and west by
South Park avenue.
Among the property owners in the

MEDICAL COLLEGE HOLDS
ANNUAL CELEBRATION
ALUMNI ELECTS OFFICERS AND
BANouETs AT LEWIS
Twenty-third Anniversary Of College
Opening Celebrated by Inter-
esting Session at New
Building

The exercises in honor of the opening
of the twenty third annual session of the
college of medicine of the University Of
Southern California were held last night
in the great hall of the college building.
Addresses by new members of the facul-
ty, DR.. W. Jarvis Barlow, the new dean
and H. Bert Ellis, treasurer of the college
and a member of the class of 1887, the
first class ever graduated from the school,
were mades
DR.. Joseph Kurtz was the principal
speaker of the evening. In his address
he called attention to the wonderful man
ner in which the work of the college has
developed since 1t was started in 1885.
At that time a small building opposite
the Maier & Zobelein brewery, on Also
street, was used as quarters by the col
lege. That building is now being used as
a stable for horses, while the college oc-
cupies buildings valued at more than
$100, 900.
DR.. Kurtz also called attention to the
advancement which has been made in the
medical profession since the college was
started
.'In 1885 1t was necessary for a student
to take a two years course only in order
to graduate as physician" he said. -I
was not necessary for him to have any
previous education beyond an ability to
read and write. At present 1t Is neces-
sary for a pupil to have a high school
education, and in 1910 student will be
required to have one years preliminary
training in a college before admission.
"AlI this works toward the betterment
of the profession and aids greatly in
sending a better class of men into prac-
tice."
Previous to the meeting at the college
building the annual dinner and election
of officers of the Alumni association was
held at Levy's cafe.
The officers elected were: President,
DR.. Raymond Taylor; vice president, --r.
It. c. PAIL; secretary DIR. e. M. Lazard;
treasurer DR.. Edward t. Dillon. DR..
Barlow attended the dinner, where he was
introduced to the members.
The new year at the college of medi-
cine promises to be one of the most sue
cessful in the history of the college. A
year ago the college ranked second to
any in the state in point of membership,
and it is probable the number of members
who will attend during the ensuing term
win be greater than that in any college
in the state.

81 don't know. guess I didn't think
of it, was the reply.
Mitchell testified that he went to bed
with Bash, and was awakened some
time later by an alarm clock. He got
up and came up town to get drink,
when he found he had no money. He
thought that it was near daybreak, but
he couldn't tell exactly.
Still hankering for drink he went
to TAI Temple street and woke up
Gould from whom he borrowed a dollars
What did Gould say to you?" he was
asked.
'He told me had shot my mother
in-law and had better give self up
as the police were after me-"
What did you reply to that?"
'I told him he was crazy. for hadn't
shot nobody
The witness denied ever having fred
two shots into the house at 1746 New
Hampshire street.
A long technical legal battle over the
admission of testimony resulted in
liberal ruling by the court and the
cross examinations were exhausted.
Mitchell could not remember where
he went until the prosecuting attorney
mentioned an empty lot at the rear of
the house on Temple street. Then he
admitted having gone there, but could
not tell whether he walked or ran.
isn't it fact that you saw Officer
Mckenzie coming and ran down the
alley, jumped the fence and threw away
your gun ?" he was asked.
81 don't remember" was the reluct-
ant reply.
"And after throwing away the gun
you attempted to make your escape at
the other end of the lot. and were in
tercepted and arrested by OFFICER Len
hausen?" the prosecuting attorney
thundered at him.
After the cross examination the de-
Tense rested. and several witnesses
were called in rebuttaI by the prose-
cution. Another witness being out of
town the case was adjourned until
Saturday at $780,

TOO NEAR A SCHOOL ROOM,
HENCE BOARD SAYS NAY

Fire commissioners yesterday denied q
hermit to NJ G.. Ferrahian to operate a
ten horse power steam boiler for dye
ing and cleaning works at 424 East Third
street.
The block is bounded by Omar, San
Pedro, Third and Boyd streets and con-
tains a large public school house.
The board was Influenced largely by
q letter from Superintendent g. G. Moore
of the public schools, who wrote:
AS this location is in the immediate
vicinity of one of our large and crowd
ed schools, and as the presence OF
gasoline engine in that immediate Vi
cinity would, because Of its noise,
odor and danger from fire, greatly
interfere with the work of the school,
on behalf of the board of education
l hereby protest against the granting
of the permission
Such assistance as you have been
able to render us in the past in pro-
tecting the schools from hindrances
to their work has been Of very great
service.
Their interests are paramount in
importance and should, we believe,
be free from interference of any sort
Chief Lips seconded this by urging
denial of the permit on the ground that
persons live in the second story of the
proposed building, in addition to the near
ness of a large school house.
Owners in the block are Christina M
Holmes, Mrs Charlotte Borchers, w. h
Chamberlin, w. B. Palmer, William II
Wilson, Emma Krug, Rosa Levy and the
city of Los Angeles, all of whom were
notified in advance.
Other owners in the block whose ad-
dresses are not on file are Henry ano

day reconsidered it's action in denying

the purpose of hay storage not to ex-
ceed seventy-fve tops and granted the

run a hay yard opposite the barns or the

vExlNG PROBLEMS CONFRONT
THE COMMISSIONERS
Union Ice Company Wins, While Union
Oil Company Must Await Re-
port of City's Legal
Department

The fire commissioners yesterday had
red letter day in the granting OF permits
which involved home or school interests
of property owners near the proposed
plants, boilers or fire risks for which per-
mits were sought.
The surprise of the day was the grant
to the Union Ice company of a permit to
build a hay storage warehouse after
refusal last week.
1t is understood that positive promises
have been made that the structure will
be brick, fireproof and that only lin
tied amount of hay will be stored there
at one time.
The oil tank case of the Union Oil COM
pany, over which much feeling is being
shown in the neighborhood of Sixth and
Mateo street, has been referred to the
city attorney for advice before action is
taken.
