BUILDING is BURNED
SECOND TIME IN MONTH
Structure on East Fifty-third Street
Destroyed and Adjoining Houses
Damaged-PoIice Investi.
eating Origin

The police are investigating a fire
which yesterday destroyed a vacant
building at 232-234 East Fifty-third street.
Although there are suspicious circum-
stances surrounding the origin of the fire
the officers say it may have been caused
by accident.
The building was formerly occupied by
a barber, who vacate1 1t a month ago.
Shortly afterward a fire, at the time
thought to be incendiary, was discovered,
but was extinguished with small loss. In
closet at the rear of the building was
found a coal oil can and a great deal of
waste paper, and the suspicious of the
police were aroused. Nothing, however,
resulted from the investigation.
I The owner of the place was told to
leave the oil can and paper undisturbed
until insurance adjusters could make an
investigation and they have remained
there since.
On one side of the building destroyed is
the grocery of G. F. Sattler, while a
pool hall occupies the building on the
other. Both were damaged, Mr.. Satt-
ler's loss being about $780, with partial
insurance. and the pool fixtures and fur
niture were almost ruined. The loss is
estimated at $1,000.
Mrs. Susana Seifert who owned the
burned building. estimates her loss at
$500, partly covered by insurance.

improvements as a preliminary step.

SIX WOMEN PASS SEvEREST
LIBRARY EXAMINATIONS
LIBRARIAN LUMMIS MOST SUR
PRIsED OF ALL ,
Not Five Per Cent Of Average FRESH
men Could Meet Test Required of
Los Angeles Public Library
Attendants

That it was not a mistake to hold high
standards for the Los Angeles public
library is proved by the results of the
training class examination just held. the
directors say.
The applicants say the paper was a
| fierce one, with fifty-five questions COW
ering California history, general history
from the worlds beginning, general lit
erature and art-an examination which
Librarian Lummis says he is willing to
be quoted as believing that mot ) per
| cent of the freshmen in Harvard uni
versity could pass in these branches"
A prominent city official, who examined
the examination paper, said: why, not
o per cent of your candidates can pass
this paper?
IF they can't pass it, the library doesn't
need them," was the answer.
Six young women passed this exam
ination.
Conditions Required
Probably all of them will be condi-
toned in some subjects and will have to
work off these conditions by extra study
during the six months of the training
class. This has been done with every
member of the last two training classes,
and without exception these conditions
have been triumphantly passed.
The policy of the library now is that
a pubic of this sort needs for library
attendants women who are not only
agreeable and attentive, but who really
know something.
In this crucial examination the range of
questions ran from Moses to Themis tocles
and Bryan.
There was a searching cross -examina-
tion as to California and western and
American history; as to ancient Greece
| and ancient Rome, the Crusades, half
| dozen of the leading statesmen of the
world; American literature, general lit
erature and the great schools of art and
| the great artists by country, school and
| activity.
Surprises Librarian
| Librarian Lummis was the most sur
prised person connected with the ex-
| amina ton. Last year there were twen-
| ty-five applicants for the training class
and five came through the examination
alive, though all conditioned. This year
| there were eleven applicants and six
passed. though conditioned.
| 'Tt pays to be particular; and it pays
| to find out that you can afford to be. A
| community like this desires the best and
| is entitled to the best. 1t can also get
| the best IL It has nerve enough to de-
mand It,"
| This Is the librarians summary of the
| reasons for and the results Of what is
perhaps the eeverest library examination
ever held In the United States
The successful candidates are Misses
Norma Claire Burrell, Hilda Cordes,
Mary E. Green. Mary Josephine Mitchell.

QUITS PLAINS TO WRITE
STIRRING FRONTIER BOOK
DICK" NOW A RESI-
DENT OF LOS ANGELES
Mayor Harper Buys First Copy ot
Story Written by Negro of
the Old Tennessee
Type

Nat Love, better known in the cattle
country as Deadwood Dick, is now resi-
dent of Los Angeles, and has written a
book on his career on the frontier.
Love is a mild-mannered negro of the
stock that lived for generations in one
family in Tennessee.
One of the last things which Mayor A.
C. Harper did before going to Nevada
was to buy the first copy of the book
which Love has just published-a work
well written and illustrated.
Love learned to read and write on the
plains and spent several years after re-
tiring from the frontier to take up the
work of a Pullman employe to put his
adventures into narrative FORM
Love was at the city hall yesterday
and when asked about his experience said
sadly:
'As I stop to ponder over the days OF
old, full of adventure and excitement
health and happiness. love and sorrow
1t seems a wonder that so many of us
are left to tell the tale.
Zone moment we rejoiced that we were
alive; the next we were near the jaws OF
death.
Life today out on the cattle range is
almost another epoch.
Laws have been enacted in New Mex
leo and Arizona which forbid all the
old time sports and the cowboy is almost
of the past.
But now, in my .fifty-fourth year. hale
happy and hearty, will ever cherish a
fond feeling for the old days on the
range, It's exciting adventures good
horses, good and bad men. iong, venture
some rides, Indian fights and last. but
foremost. the friends I have made"
Love is now connected with the Cen
eral Securities company and is content
to let his book tell his exciting career.

CITY ATTORNEY TO PASS
ON IMPROVEMENT BILLS
Board of Public Works Suggestion
That Street Ordinances Go
Through Legal Department
Adopted by Council

To avoid any possibility of legal errors
creeping into street and sewer ordinances
hereafter such measures will pass
through the city attorneys office.
Contractors have in several instances
lost considerable money through legal
flaws in the preparation of ordinances for
which, in the end, the taxpayers had to
suffer as succeeding prices were raised
correspondingly.
The city council yesterday passed a
resolution asking that City Attorney Les
lie r. Hewitt delegate a man for this
work. and he readily consented, asking,
however, that the city engineers office
furnish abstracts of preliminary proceed
ings first.
The board of public work., in calling
attention to the conditions, reported as
follows:
From December /, 1906, to October
20, 1907, the office of the city engineer
has presented to the council 1898 or
dinances relating to the Improvement
of streets and the construction of sew
ers, also the opening and widening of
streets ard changing and establishing
Of grades and of curb lines, and a few
relating to street names.
This would make on an average of
five ordinances prepared by the city
engineers department for each work.
Ing day during that period
1t appears to this board that the i'm
portance of this work makes 1t expe-
dent that the office of the city attor-
ney should either prepare or supervise
the preparation OF these ordinances,
and we recommend that some provis-
ion be made by which the office of
the city attorney shall pass upon the
ordinances before they are presented
for adoption.

SETS FOUR
DAYS FOR
CLEANUP
MAYOR HARPER APPEALS TO
CITIZENS
WANTS LOS ANGELES TO BE A
sPoTLEss TOWN
ProcIaims Next Four Saturdays as
Public Renovation Days, but Uurges
That Private Campaign
Begin at Once

The first thing Mayor A. G. Harper die
on taking his desk after a weeks absence
was to inquire into the cleanup cam
paign inaugurated by the board of health
and the city council.
Then. as he had promised he would u,
wire, he ordered proclamation ISSUED
asking all the people to anticipate th'
action Of the authorities by claiming III
their own premises at once, also pro
claiming four cleanup days.
He urged that this be done today, 81
that all the idle teams and wagons IL
the city would be started at once rathe
than after Friday of this week when tn
city will put on 300 men and forty teams
Here is the mayors first bulletin:
The Proclamation
dos Angeles mas so many natural
advantages it should be made the
cleanest city in the world.
Free from dirt, health conditions as
near perfect as possible. lawns and
trees well cared for and flowers grow
ing in every available space, Los An
geles will advertise itself and draw
within its gates the very best people.
A general clean up once a year is as
necessary for a city as for home.
Such a clean up has been recon-
mended and Is about to be undertaken
by the health department
If every citizen will join hands with
the health department employees and
do his part Los Angeles can be made
spotless city.
In order that the cleanup extend to
every corner of the city l hereby
designate four cleanup days during
the next month and call upon each
citizen to do little around his own
property to make the city clean and
beautiful.
These are the days: Saturday, Octo-
ber 26; Saturday November q; Satur-
day, November 8, and Saturday No
vember 16.
Suggestions
Gather all tin cans, bottles. scrap
iron, ETC., around your place and put
in boxes or cans. City teams will
haul them away.
Rake up all the weeds and rubbish
in your yard. Burn all the rubbish
possible. Don't throw it into the
street, alley or vacant lots.
Get the weeds out of your land
while they are young. Weeds spoil
the beauty of lawn and in time de-
stroy it.
Repair your own walks and notify
the street department of defects in
the city's walks.
Repair your fences and buildings
and give them a new coat of paint.
Replace old and faded awnings.
Keep ash and garbage cans where
they will be easily accessible.
If anything unhealthy comes to your
notice telephone the health depart
ment. A. c. HARPER, Mayor.
