HOT OIL PIPES
CAUSE BIC FIRE
BARBER ASPHALT PLANT IS
DAMAGED $4,000
Every Available Engine In the CITY
Called to ExtIngulsh the Blaze,
But Heat Renders Efforts
Futile

Fire caused by the overheating of oil
pipes at the Barber Asphalt company's
pant, 1920 Date street, damaged the
plant $4,000 about 1850 yesterday
morning.
The pipes, which are covered with
asbestos, tscame saturated with oil.
The excessive heat of the fluid passing
through the pipes caused the oil to
ignite and within n few minutes the
interior of the great building was a
mass of flames.
An alarm was turned i'm and this
was followed by second and third
alarm. Every available engine in the
city was on the scene within few
minutes. but the excessive heat ham
pered the firemen a great deal
The tanks I'm the building i'm which
the asphalt Is made soon became a
white heat and the asphalt flowed
through them covering the floor o.
the building. BY this time the oil flow
ing into the building had been turned
off, and as the building is of steel the
flames soon burned themselves out. All
the wooden sections of the building
were burned.
According to the report of the fire
department II will he impossible to ac-
curately estimate the damage until the
owners of the plant can find how much
oil and asphalt remain on hand
The building and contents were fully
covered by insurance.

therefore, and her career, is sure to
prove of interest to all followers of
stage affairs.
Corinne is southern to the tips of her
fingers, and no one can look at her
dark flashing eyes, her olive tinted
complexion and the masses of raven
black hair without realizing quickly
that she comes from a climate where
the sun shines fierce1y as well as fire.

south, artistic and impulsive, as alert
in intelligence as she is dainty and deX-
ferrous in physical grace. 1t is easy to
understand that with her magnetic
personality and versatility she has won
legions of admirers
Corinne has the fortune, good or
otherwise, to win a prize when she was
only three years old. She was awarded
the trophy offered by the promoters of
the Boston Great National Baby show
for a musical prodigy. That was in
1871 so that those who are fond of
dates-and other tropical fruit-can go
right in to the ready reckoner line and
discover the lady's age by simple addi-
ton. AT five years of age the child
who was then known in dramatic cir
cles as Little Sweetie," THE Fairy Pet

Vocal Sprite" and a few other endear-
ing titles, was engaged by the Murphy
Miniature Opera company to play
Little Buttercup in "Pnafore" at $50 a
week. Three months later she was re-
engaged at $3.50, and after playing the

lustre OF her gifts upon a combination
known to fame and America as the
Corinne Opera Troupe and later as the

Then it was that little Corlnne had
her first taste Of burlesque or extrava-
ganza, for as Cinderella in the Magic

by the natural or as one might say the
old-fashioned style i'm which she played
her many parts
From Cinderella to Oivette was a
step that offered no difficulties to the
growing girl. La Mascott' was laid
under contribution. and as the years
sped on and the miniature Patti merged

Moses Hartman of Chicago, the editor
of Lucifer, the ight-Bearer addressed
the Los Angeles Hygienists' club yes

subject of Free Love"
The meeting was well attended and
Mr.. Harman held attention through
out his talk, the audience showing great
interest in the subject. After Mr.. Har-
man finished he invited any one to ask
questions about any point that they
wished to be enlightened on The ma
iority of the questions related to the
effect of tobacco, alcoholic drinks and
meat on the passions Mr.. Harman re-
piled that he thought that there was
no doubt that they did intiame the
passions, though he had heard it said
that alcohol deadened the senses ATT

BERKELEY GREEKS
TO FIGHT ORDER
RESENT ACTION OF EDUCATION
BOARD
Are Having More Trouble Than Their
Brothers and Sisters of Los An
geIes to Preserve Their
Identity

Advices from Berkeley indicate that
the university town is having as much
or more trouble with the much dis
cussed question of high school frater-
mites than Los Angeles.
The Berkeley board of education,
when it finally acted in the case, took
more drastic steps than the local board,
and by so doing seems to have stirred
up more trouble than it's southern
brothers.
When the Berkeley pedagogues met
the situation for the last time, as they
hoped, they sent forth the fiat that
no fraternity man nor sorority girl
should hold any school office whatever.
and that those Greek letter students
who were then filling school offices
should at once resign them.
The edict created CONSERVATION, not
only among the fraternity members. but
among the high school officials as well;
but the principal of the high school,
much against his will, began to en-
force the order of the board.
The result has been disastrous. The
Greek letter students number about
one-half the pupils, but investigation
showed that they were among the bet
ter class. The first resignation the prin-
cipal had to request was that of a
bright young miss who was the editor
of the school paper. Her oHense was
that she belonged to a sorority. The
manager of the track and football
teams quickly followed, as did the as
sistant editor, and dozens of other
pupils prominent in athletic and liter
airy activities.
Detrimental to Schools
The principal declared: 1.-The order
has completely disorganized the school
activities. We never realized before
how prominently the fraternity MEM
hers were interviewer with the school
life; but the board has given it's orders.
| shall obey them to the letter."
The fraternity students do not pro-
pose to obey them to the letter. A civil
proceeding will test the validity of the
order and the members win fight to the
last to retain what they declare to be
their individual rights
In Los Angeles the situation is in a
quiet state. Contrary to the views OF
the board of education, the fraternities
have not been dealt a death blow While
fraternity men decline to say whether
or not they are obeying the order of the
board that no more new members shall
be taken into the societies, other school
boys not connected with the Greeks de-
clare that at least one initiation has
taken place since the fiat of the board.
Following the boards order of prac-
tieal extinction of the fraternities pop
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-11

ular opinion, always with the under
dog, seems to have veered to the So
ciey men, and pupils who were formerly
opposed to them are now siding with
the frats.
The second recommendation of the
local board, relating to the wearing of
fraternity emblems, is practically nil
as far as the pupils are concerned. The
golden pins with their Greek letters
form too pretty an ornament to be
given up readily and each fair maiden
and stanch youth who formerly sported
an emblem continues to do so.
The fraternity and sorority pupils
of Los Angeles high school, while not
so strong in numbers as their Berkeley
brothers and sisters, are not a whit be-
hind them in prominence. Indeed,
hasty glance over the school activities
discloses the fact that the Greeks prac-
tically control the school affairs.
High in School Offices
While it will be difficult to say what
the new term will bring in the way of
school officers, the fact remains that
during the term just over the Greek
letter pupils occupied some of the
highest offices in the school. The presi-
dency of the star and crescent society,
which is the highest honor of the
school, was in the hands of a manly
young fellow, Walter Duzan, who was
a fraternity member His vice presi-
dent, Miss Helen Dickinson, is a soro-
rity girl. The vice presidents of the
senior A and B classes, Miss Grace
Stoermer and Miss Marion Mcclure,
are both sorority members.
The school paper was practically is
sued by Greeks. The editor, Miss Su-
san Cough, belongs to a sorority, and
the assistant editor, Robert Miller, is
a frat man. Several of the associate
editors were also Greek letter society
pupils.
On the athletic field the frats were
even more prominent. Harry Seward,
the manager of the track team, Is
stanch fraternity man, and many mem
bers of the different teams are con-
nected with the societies.
So, although the societies number
among their members only about one
fifteenth of the total membership of
the schools, that number includes half
the sum total of school officers; and
with this prospect confronting them
the board of education can only "hope"
that the ghost is layed.

COUNCIL PUSHES
REVENUE BILLS
MAYOR ANXIOUS TO AUGMENT
CITY'S INCOME
Action Expected To-day on Proposed
Special Election to Vote for
100000 Fire Bond
Issue

Today's session of the city council
is likely to be a long one, but since
the custom of holding morning meet
ings was started an afternoon session
is possible to "clean off the slate"
The element of the council which be-
lieves with Mayor Harper in getting
all the revenue possible for the city
treasury this year will make hard
effort to push through all pending
measures which create new offices or
work on fees, thus serving to add to
the exchequer rather than diminish 1t
in paying salaries.
President Pease has come out strong
ly recently in urging committees to
obey their own rule and invariably re-
port progress on all committee matters
at least every two weeks. This will
bring out several shelved items if en-
forced.
Secret Sessions Blamed
The custom of holding committee of
the whole sessions in secret is largely
responsible for this state of affairs.
Certain members unwilling to take
the public into their confidence have
taken one attitude on business under
debate in the committee room and
switched their policy in public. This
effort to becloud the situation has
merely muddled the issues instead of
clarifying them. The administration
has PROOF of double dealing of this kind
and though assurances have been fur
nished that the administration Will get
the same courtesy as any citizen seeking
legislation the course OF the council
will be closely watched.
Some action will likely be taken to-
day in connection with the bonds for
the fire department which are deemed
necessary by the commercial bodies of
Los Angeles.
Auditor Mushet has stated that the
city can safely vote 100000 bonds now
and still vote the $23,O00,000 owens
river aqueduct issue without exceed
ing the charter limit on bonded indebt-
edness and this assurance will enable
the council to set date for such an
election at once. 1t is conceded that
the city needs more fire engine houses
and equipment, as recommended by
the board of fire underwriters, and
smooth sailing is looked for since the
financial rocks have been passed.
The billboard taxing ordinance is one
of the measures that will probably
come up today. The billboard men.
from whom some opposition was
looked for, have not made a strenuous
protest so far, representatives of Var
ney e. Green being the only ones lodg-
ing amy complaint with the mayor
against the proposed legislation.
