Daylight burglars succeeded in stealing

sides a number of trinkets were also
stolen.
Mrs. Duffy was absent from her home

and after remaining at the trial OF Res
taurant Inspector Schwegel all afternoon

terday morning to find his wife suirerlhg
from ptomaine poisoning.
Wright, who is former railroad man,
thought he had the art of getting on

East Fourth street, between San Pedro

Wright missed his hold in some way,
fell off and, landing head first, almost
felt the wheels grazing his head.
IT never did such quick thinking in my
life," said he afterward. My thoughts
flew like lightning
He was fixed up at the receiving hos
pital, the worst bruises having been
caused by the passing projecting car step.

Mrs Wright is bride of hardly
more than a year and her illness is as
cribed by her to some goods which she
bought at a delicatessen store and ate.
She was seized with pains at their home,
76S San Pedro street, shortly after and
physicians were called by friends in the
husbands absence.
Last night she was reported as resting
easier.
Mrs. Wright was formerly Miss Hattie

ORDER A SHAKEUP
OMONG INSPECTORS
coocH TO DISPLAcE EHRHARD
UNDER ScHWEGEL
Mayor Harper Tells Health Board That
SayIes Cannot Serve as Long as
He Is Mayor and Dr..
Powers officer

"Sayles can't serve as restaurant in
spector as long as l am here Mayor
Harper declared to the health board
when the question of naming an in
spector regularly came before that
body yesterday.
The board had received notice from
the civil service commission that in
naming F. ]. Ehrhard as emergency
man 1t was transgressing the rules
and Ehrhard had to be dropped.
The following letter was read from
Secretary Spalding of the commission
Replying to letter of your sec
retary 1 am directed to say that we
have eligibles on the list for res
taurant inspector, and under civil
service rules the appointment of
emergency men is not allowable
until the regular list is exhausted
We shall therefore be unable to
certify the name of F. ]. Ehrhard
appointed restaurant inspector by
your board on August 8.
II am also directed to inform you
that the name of H. M. Love can
not be certified as secretary of the
board of health and to cite you to
rule S, section 6 and rule 6, section
s, civil service rules and regula-
tions."
LII. a w. MOOTe lndI III
view of that letter a selection would
have to be made from the eligible list
either M l., Sayles or Arthur Cooch
At this point Mayor Harper made his
objections, adding:
Either l or DIR. Powers will have to
quit If Sayles is named. We will be OF
no further use to the health depart
ment."
Cooch is the man who left in July
about the time the three eligibles
Schwegel, Sayle and Cooch, were an
nounced as having passed the exam
nations.
In the trial of Joseph Nichols Schwe-
gel Tuesday intimations were made
that Cooch had left suddenly and that
a prominent politician was instrument
tai in calling him east
Dr. Moore denied this yesterday, say
ing Cooch was a friend of his and had
gone east on a mining deal.
why, he told me he spent $1,000 in
Detroit in handling this deal. He
would not have to be smuggled out of
Los Angeles If he is competent to han
die such deals" said DR.. Moore.
"Cooch has been in this city week
saw him an hour ago"
Cooch was given the appointment
though it was said afterward that his
mining interests would prevent him
from accepting the place.

BOARD DID NOT GIVE
LAND TO EDISON COMPANY
SECOND WARD AROUSED BUT AN
ERROR EXPLAINS 1T ALL
Improvement Association Believing
BoyIston Street Was Being Par
ceIed Out to Corporation Is
Indignant

Under the misapprehension that the
board of public works had induced the
city council to give away section OF
Boylston street to the Edison company
protests were filed yesterday at the city
hall by the Second Ward Improvement
association, by property owners and by
a delegation headed by T. Wisendanger.
Later, when 1t was found that the
property was in the Third ward, Coun-
Gilman Wren also rushed to the city hall
to find out If his constituents had been
wronged.
Inquiry promptly set on foot by Deputy
City Clerk Charles Wilde disclosed the
fact that the city had vacated merely a
triangular strip 61s feet wide at one END
coming to a point.
This formed a section of Boylston
street between First and Second streets
which four years ago had been marked
for vacation by the city engineer, but
through an error in the description only
one-half of the 10-foot strip was vacated
Not an Edison Gift
1t was a move to make Boylston of
uniform width, north as far as Sunset
boulevard and south as far as Sixth
street.
The strip between First and Second
streets where the Edison company has
a transformer station on three lots was
cess and out of this the complications
grew.
Mr. Wiesendanger said:
I'VE first proceeded under the belief
that the entire block had been vacated
that is, the street area between First
and Second streets, which would have
cut Boylston in two and necessitate de-
tours of 900 feet for pedestrians and
drivers.
"On one side of Boylston the property
owners have just paid $4,000 to have the
street improved as far as Sunset boule-
ward; on the other end improvements are
also being made.
Mayor Harper kindly ordered the or
dinance held from publication, though
he did not understand the situation and
signed it.
Later we found out that after all only
small strip is vacated.
''In the other case we figured that it
would have amounted to donation by
the city of $30,0O0"
representative of Ramish & Marsh
said yesterday that four years ago in
passing the first ordinance. regulating the
width of Boylston street an error had
been made in designating the lines. The
ordinance was approved by Mayor M. p.
Snyder on February "a, 1903.
Last night the entire difficulty had
been adjusted and the ordinance will be
fulfilled today.
