OBJECT TO oDoRs
FROM FACTORY
Fashionable Burlington Park Resi-
dents Complain to Supervisors
That Fertilizer Company Is
Objectionable to Them

Objections to the many unpleasant
odors which are said to emanate from
the plant of fertilizer company in the
fashionable neighborhood of Huntington
park, are at the bottom of petition
filed by the residents of that community
with the board of supervisors yesterday.
The complaint is against the American
Agricultural Chemical company, former
ly known by the less euphonious title
of the Bradley Fertilizer company. The
petitioners claim the odors from the
works are very offensive, and are the
cause of deprecating the value of real
estate.
In it's defense filed with the board, the
chemical company claims it was estab-
lished in it's present location in 1897, be-
fore the land in that neighborhood was
subdivded, and before any residences
were bult in that district. The house
holders are the aggressors, and have in
vaded the territory of the fertilizer COM
pany, according to the claims of the lat
ter party in the dispute
Great outlay of capital and labor, the
company says, have been expended in
building the plant and improving the
property, and they state that it is up to
the home seekers to stay away if they
don't like to live in the neighbrohood of
such a factory. The dispute will be
taken under advisement by the board of
Supervisors at their next regular
meeting.

HIGH PAY OF SINGERS IN
U. S. CAUSES DISCUSSION
French Art Minister Complains That
America Draws Europe's Best Tall
ent-SaIaries at Opera comique
Comparatively Meager
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The recent
complaint of the French minister OF
Beaux Arts that the higher prices paid
to theatric. and operatic stars abroad
especially in America, is beginning
seriously to attract the best talent in
the state subvention theaters is being
much discussed in theatrical circles
here.
Mary Garden of Hammersteln COM
pany, who received 5000 a performance
at the Theater Comique at Paris but
who receives stipend for each per-
formance in New York. which goes into
four figures, says:
Few people realize that opera is
given at the Comique in Paris for So
for the most expensive seats. Natu-
rally the director cannot pay enormous
salaries. Add to that the fact that liv-
ing is vUry much cheaper in Paris and
that an artists engagement is steady
one, lasting year in and year out, and
you have some explanation for the low
salaries there. And there are abso-
Iutely no expenses. Even costumes are
furnished by the management"

POLICE BOARD COY
ON SALOON USAGE
Church Federation Demands That Sac
looms and Restaurants Occupy
Separate Premises, and Laws
makers Seek Advice

The police board after getting conf
munication from City Clerk Harry Lee
lande yesterday referring to the JOINT
use by saloons and restaurants or the
same premises decided to send the letter
back to the city council for more definite
information.
At the meeting of the council held No
vember 4 the attention of that body was
called by Councilman A. J. Wallace to
the fact that while the council had taken
action on section / of petition No. 922 of
the Civic Righteousness committee of the
Church federation he wanted definite
action taken relative to section 2.
Chairman Nathan Newly of the commit
tee addressed the council calling attention
to the fact that on Spring street saloon
and restaurant were occupying the same
rooms and that the entrance to the sa-
loon was separated from the other en-
trance by only low partition, and the
room occupied by the restaurant was in
no manner separated from the saloon.
Thereupon Councilman r. w. Dromgold
moved that the matter be refererd to the
police commission for investigation and
report with the request that immediate
action be taken by the commission.
Further hearing on section was con-
tinued until December 8 to give the po-
lice board an opportunity to investigate.
Inc commissioners at llrSL VOteu u llie
the letter yesterday but reconsidered the
vote and decided to ask for further infor-
nation as the letter was not deemed as
clearly expressing the situation.
After the meeting some of the commits
sioners said that as they understood the
law the partitions were not violations and
If they were it was UP to the council to
amend the laws.
Mr.. Newby's argument was along lines
urging the adoption of an ordinance maxi
ing it unlawful for the same person or
his agent or employe to hold saloon Ii
cense and a restaurant or liquor license
at the same time; also forbidding the
maintenance of a saloon or restaurant in
the same or adjoining rooms.
The other section referred to deals with
the definition of wholesale establish
ment, the federation plan being to allow
no wholesalers to sell less than five gall
Ions.

WOMAN HURT;
DISAPPEARS
VICTIM OF CAR ACCIDENT MAY BE
WANDERING
FALLS OFF CAR, GIVES IMPossl-
BILE ADDRESS
SAYS She Is Miss J. a. HiIIyer Of 5t2
South Olive Street.-The Such
Address = Jumps from
Moving Trolley

Mystery surrounds an accident which
occurred near the corner of Fifth and
South Olive streets at $40 o'clock last
night, and as the result a young woman,
probably stranger in Los Angeles, may
be wandering the streets of the city or
lying in the home of some kind-hearted
citizen, unable to give her name or any
information in regard to herself or
friends.
Victim of Accident
A Washington street car, inward
bound had almost reached the corner
near the Auditorium theater when
young woman arose from her seat ana
started toward the steps. The car was
running at a fair speed, and two or
three passengers, noting the woman's ac-
tions, put forth OBTAINING hands but to
their mute warnings she gave no heed.
AS she neared the motorman, she spoke
to him in a low voice, and, not warning
for the car to stop, walked down the
steps and into the street The momentum
of the car threw her backward, and she
was stretched full length on the pave
ment the back of her head striking the
hard roadway with great force; so great,
in fact. that the sound could be distinctly
heard by every passenger in the car.
The car proceeded a short distance and
was stopped The conductor, motorman,
and few passengers returned to where
the young woman, apparently dazed, was
walking about in a circle. her hands
grasping her head, while she cried pite-
ously.
Led to Sidewalk
She was led to the sidewalk where she
seemed suddenly to recover her senses,
and in answer to inquiries gave the
name of Miss ]. A. Hillyer and her ad-
dress as 512 South Olive street.
II told you not to get off the car,
said the motorman.
..You did not replied the woman, as
she adjusted hei hat which had been
torn from her head when she fell.
Conductor. motorman and passengers
re-entered the car, leaving the woman sit
ting on the edge of the walk. AS the car
started passengers saw her arise, walk
about unsteadily, and then in an uncer-
tain manner, cross the street.
No Such Number
There is no such number as 512 on
South Olive street, as Central park -occu-
pies the location where building with
that number would stand. Inquiry at
other houses and business places in the
vicinity failed to bring out any Informal
ton regarding the accident and neither
the street car company nor the police de
partment had up to an early hour this
morning, received any report of the acci-
dent
The young woman was of medium
height and weighed probably 115 pounds.
She was apparently % or % years of age,
wore a dark, mixed stuff dress, with I'M
visible stripe, and a black hat

IS MARTYR TO
HIS ALARM CLOCK
SURVEYOR FEARS NOISE WOULD
AWAKEN SLEEPERs
Hence Consderate Boarder Acquired
Habits of Hardness and Is Hailed
Before Civil Service Commis-
sioners on Charges

Rather than utilize his noisy alarm clock
in a boarding house, w. f. Chapman. an
instrument man who worked for the aque-
duct board and the city engineers depart
ment preferred to reach the city hall
tardy several days each week, and yes
terday faced trial before the civil service
commission on several charges, tardiness
and nattention to work being the pr!n-
cipal ones.
Chapman lived in an Ottawa street
boarding house and said he feared the
clock would awaken everybody in the
house. hence he took chances of oversleep-
ing. His consideration for others has put
him in hot water.
Don't you know you can choke an
alarm clock If you get up fast enough?"
remarked Commissioner Daniel LAUDER
sheimer, whom the excuse did not i'm
press greatly.
The commission will give it's decisi on
next week.
Several of the city employees figured oft
that Chapmans tardiness by delaying the
starts of engineering parties cost the city
as much as SIG some weeks.
Define Eight-Hour Day
Chapman cung to the notion that under
the eight-hour law he was not technically
tardy provided he reached the city hall
before o'clock, and used that argument
IN mis- QeIenSe.
Chief Clerk Horace Taylor and others
of the engineers department, however.
proved that the legal day can start at any
suitable hour, provided labors cease eX-
actly eight hours after the start. The
early engineering parties are instructed TO
return to the city hall corresponding,y
sooner if they leave-as most of them do
before o'clock mornings.
D. F. Downer, in charge of one of tho
aqueduct surveying parties, came all the
way from the Owens river country to
testify, while half dozen survey chiefs
spent several hours at the city hall TO
attend the trial as witnesses.
Sifted down, it appears from the testi-
mony that Chapman broke transit in
strument by carelessly handling 1T when
he alighted from street car in front of
the city hall. He was obliged to pay $40
for a new instrument.
Was 1t Threat?
e. L. Jessup testified that he heard
Chapman remark that the city would not
gain much by making men pay in such
cases, and his superiors gained the i'm
preston that he had determined to make
the city's work suffer in proportion.
Chapman denied that he harbored any
such notions.
Some of the witnesses intimated that
Chapman was regarded as an agtator,
and that he did much to foment bad feel.
ing in his parties by his criticism Of
methods on public work.
He, on the other hand, showed that the
Downer party while he was in charge Of
one branch did more work than ever be-
fore Notwithstanding his alleged trouble
making proclivities.

COMPLAINT GRANTED
TO MAN HIT BY AUTO
Real Estate Dealer Who Was Hurt
Alleges That the Auto Driver
Did Not Blow Siren to
Warn Approach

Claiming that he was struck by an au-
and that no warning had been given OF
the approach of the machine, A. C. Chau-
det, a real estate dealer of 1910 Central
avenue, was yesterday granted a COM
plant against w. M. Bamber, l4Ot
Wright street, by City Prosecutor Alex
ander.
and Chaudet, who was thrown four feet
into the air by the automobile, has been
confined to his bed since.
AS there was no way in which to esti-
mate the speed of the machine it is
probable that Bamber will be prosecuted
under the state law, providing for warn
ing by automobile drivers, and not as a
violation of the city ordinances.

S. c. Mercer Brings Heavy
Damage Suits Against Son
and Son In-Law.

Friday was the last day for filing
suits and several of more or less i'm
portance were filed at the last mo-
ment.
The city of Hopkinsville brought
a suit against Winfree & knight to
ercover from them public roadway
on West Seventh Street leading
down to the ford south Of the
bridge. In 1898 the Tabernacle asso-
citation bought a tract of land ex-
tending to the west bank of Little
River" at that time about 100 feet
from the water, the valley of the
river being occupied by the city, as
a driveway leading to the water. In
1900 the tabernacle association sold
a narrow slip of land on the eastern
side of its lot to Winfree & Knight
for $500 and decided to them the
roadway and public ford, Ito the
low water line of the river" The
purchasers thereupon closed up the
roadway and erected unsightly frame
buildings, perched on high trestles,
along the front of the lot on Seventh
street, 1t is to recover the public
lands thus occupied that the city
sues.
Miss Dorothy Adams and John
Quicker sues the city of Hopkinsville

the corner of Ninth and Campbell
streets drove over a pile of cinders to
be used in pavement building. Mr..
Ducker was thrown out and Miss Adj
ans remained in the buggy until the
horse reached the postoffice when she
jumped out. They both sustained
injuries that laid them up for several
days. The pile Of cinders occupied
only a small portion of the street,
leaving a clear space rs feet wide,
being located between two electric
street lights. The statement given
out at the time was that Mr.. Quicker
was attempting to pass another bug
gy when the accident occurred.
Ophelia johnson sues the l. c.
Railroad CO. for 81 900 damages, al
leging that she and her two children
contracted pneumonia from riding
