WATKINS FAILS TO
APPEAR IN COURT

When Ollie J. Watkins, manager of
the California Fruit Growers associa-
ton, failed to appear before Judge
Wilbur yesterday in supplementary
proceedings in aid of an execution. at
torneys for the plaintiffs in action
wanted him punished for contempt of
court.
On inquiring into the matter, how
ever, Judge Wilbur learned that no
summons had been served on Watkins,
other than verbal one, and decided to
continue the case until Tuesday.
The action was brought by the City
Wire works, of which Henry Biscar is
president, in Justice Stephens court.
where judgment of $112 and costs was
awarded against the association. Bis
car has been unable to collect the
amount and appealed the case to the
superior court.
Last Tuesday, when the matter was
argued before Judge Wilbur, watkins
was in court, and after the sc had
beed continued he was advised to re-
turn yesterday. 1t was because the
verbal notice might have been misun-
derstood that the citation for contempt
was refused.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

The uniform good luck of Los An
geles was evidenced in striking man.
ner on the Fourth. Only mere zephyrs
stirred the air, although on the preced-
ing day there were frequent strong
Winds at times suggestive of a gale.
Yesterday The Herald reported ar
even thirty-fve alarms on the Fourth
to which the fire department responded
All of the fires excepting four resulted
from eXuberant patriotism, and in one
of the four cases the cause of fire was
reported as undiscovered" probably
attributable to a patriotic spark.
Twenty-six of the fires were credited to
fireworks and frecrackers.
Suppose that the Fourth had occurred
on day of such winds as we occasion
ally experience, or even of such mod
crate winds as are frequent. At the
present time, as always in midsummer,
the city is as dry as a powder house
atmospherically. Outside of the crowded
business quarter the buildings are al
most invariably wooden and very
the same class of buildings in the east.
Given such fiery patriotism as was
displayed on the Fourth, together with
a gale of wind, and the city might be
swept by a conflagration as completely
as the work of prairie fire.
1t is good luck, not good management,
that we may now thank for having
passed safely through the dangerous Or
deal of the Fourth. But the passed dam
ger will cause only momentary public
thought. When another year rolls
around we probably shall take the same
chance again, relying on the luck of Los
Angeles to save the city from conflagra-
ton.
This is little short of criminal. Los
is and ever will be city of
frame construction, of bungalows and
cottages. At this season it is always
very dry. Common sense, financial in
terests and every consideration of per-
sonal and property safety argue for the
utter elimination of fireworks of all
sorts within the city confines, not only
on the Fourth but on every other day.

BURNED OUT OF
HOUSE AND HOME
GASOLINE STOVE CAUSES BAD
BLAZE
Bungalow of L. Petersen on Neva
Street Destroyed and Adjoining
House Badly Damaged
by Fire

The one-story frame bungalow a
6307 Neva street, owned and occupied
by l.. Petersen, was completely de-
stroyed and the house of c. 7. Gage al
No. 6315 adjoining was badly damaged
by fire which started in the Petersen
home late yesterday afternoon.
A gasoline stove which was being
used in the kitchen to prepare the
evening meal was placed near win
dow. The wind blew a curtain across
the flame, and in an instant the cur
tain and light woodwork of the win
| dow casing were ablaze.
Mr.. Peterson, in fear that the gaso-
line stove would explode and scatter the
flames beyond all control, seized the
stove and carried it into the yard. In
so doing he spilled some of the gaso-
line on his hands and arms. This
| caught fire and he was compelled to
drop the stove. He ran into the house
and seized a quilt. with which he put
out the fire that was burning his
clothing, and then made an attempt to
extinguish the fire which was burning
his home.
An alarm had been turned in by some
of the neighbors and the fire depart
ment responded, but the flames had got
under such headway by the time the
apparatus arrived that it was found
impossible to save the building.
BY this time fire had attacked the
house next door, but the firemen put
1t out before much damage had been
done.
Mr.. Petersen was badly burned about
the hands, arms and back, and was
taken to a neighbor's, where he re-
ceived medical attention.
The Petersen home was burned to the
ground with all it's contents except a
few adticles of furniture which neigh
bors had carried out. All of the fur
niture in the Gage house was taken out
and placed in safety. The Petersen
loss is estimated at $500 and that OF
c. T.. Gage, on the building, at $500.
Dolls House Burns
At SAT p. m. children's playhouse
in the yard of the residence of Mrs.
c. H. Preat at 2214 South Western ave-
nue. caught on fire from paper being
burned in a toy stove.
1t was completely destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $25. The little chill
dren of Mrs. Preat and a neighbor's
child took considerable risk to them |
selves in saving their dolls and doll
furniture from the blazing structure
before their elders got to the spot and
took charge.
Garden hose, played by neighbors,
kept the fire from spreading to the
residence.
An alarm at 6:12 p. m. was caused
by a fire of unknown origin at 1907
East Thirty-first street which destroyed
a shed in the rear of the residence of
N. A. Horn. The loss is placed at $35
