DOMESTIC TRAGEDY
VICTIMS RECOVER

the surgeons believe he will recover.
Mrs. Chapman was said last night to
be greatly improved. 1t is not believed
her wounds will prove fatal.
All yesterday morning Chapman raved
in an insane manner He continually
spoke of his wife, but made no reference

physicians that the bullet, which struck
him at the base of the brain had effected
his mind

FAMILIES LIVE IN
FILTHY BOX HOMES
MAYORS SYMPATHIES AROUSED
BY HOUSE COURTS
Directs Sanitary Inspector Queirolo to
Devote Entire Time to Making
Foreigners Quarters
More Habitable

Having found conditions in the for
eigners' quarters of Los Angeles-the So
called house courts-so pitiful as to sur
prise him and awaken his sympathies
Mayor A. C. Harper has caused the detail
OF Sanitary Inspector Nick Queirolo, who
speaks three languages, exclusively to
work under the housing commission.
Chairman Titan j. Coffey told the
mayor yesterday that conditions were 100
per cent better than a year ago, which
made the mayor remark that they must
have been frightful then.
The mayor made a tour of these quar-
ters a few days ago and found hundreds
of families living in shacks boxes and
anything that would keep the sun off
their heads. What these unfortunates
will do in the rainy season is problematic.
The balmy climate of California protects
them in summer.
These courts are occupied mostly by
Mexicans, Slavoniansf and other foreign
ers,' said Mayor Harper, who pay $3.50 a
month for the privilege of building their
own shacks on a small plot of ground and
get the water with it.
1--WE saw one family of father and
mother and seven children in a shack 10
by 10 feet eating, living, cooking and
sleeping in that box
THE new ordinance provides that sinks,
toilets, screens, windows. floors and other
conveniences must be introduced, but that
is for the landlords and kind-hearted cor
porations to do. These poor people can't
do 1t.
1--WE really need several men for this
inspection work, but one ought to devote
his whole time to it in the cause'of public
health.
in the river bottoms and at Omaha
street we saw houses built of a few dry
goods boxes and covered with sacks and
tin pans.
II understand there are seventy-f1ve of
these house courts. Under the law now a
court must have three rooms"

RESTAURANT MEN WANT
RESTRICTIONS LESSENED
UNWILLING TO DO AWAY WITH
ALL coMEBAcKS
Alleging That They Were Not Heard
When Inspection Ordinance Was
Framed, Eating House Own
ers Ask Relief

Well known restaurant men held con-
ference yesterday afternoon in the may
ors office to endeavor to amend the
restaurant inspection law.
City Attorney Hewitt, Deputy Wilson,
Health Officer Powers, Restaurant In
spector Schwegel and a half dozen res
taurateurs were on hand.
From the discussion it developed that
the visitors were aggrieved because in the
first place they had no chance to be
heard when the ordinance was framed.
They claimed that they were losing
much money because of the section pro-
hibiting "comebacks" Their argument
was that butter and bread should be ex
cepted from the prohibitory clauses.
The health officials believe that much
of the success of the inspection depends
on elimination of the comebacks and will
oppose any amendments, even though
slight.
The semi-monthly report of the res
taurant inspectors shows that forty-nine
pounds of meat two boxes of fruit and
fifty cans of timed goods were destroyed
by the inspectors.
Bakery Inspector Jesse r. Caldwell re-
ported that out of eighty-one shops which
he inspected in two months one-half were
dirty and notices to clean up were served
on them.

VENICE cONSULTS WITH
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The directors of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce met a committee
of the Venice chamber of commerce yes
terday. the object of the latter being to
seek the cooperation of the local chamber
in the building of the harbor at Venice
There was no definite understanding be-
tween the two, but three propositions are
under consideration-the building of the
harbor by the government, the building
of the harbor by the citizens of Venice
and Los Angeles, and the building OF the
harbor by a private corporation.
The committee from the venice cnamper

attributes required of the others. Despair
often confronted the promoter, but finally
in Meredith Meredro, a prima donna of
recognized standing and ability in London,
he secured his prize. Miss Maude Corbett,
a prim favorite of the London 'alls, was
engaged as the soubrette, and the group
was complete.
Iondon's best military tailor was given
the orders for the several sets of uni
forms, each being a copy of particular
grenadier regiment, and each pelng
historically correct, with the single eX-
ception that the high, stiff top boots worn
by these mounted men are discarded out
even they are simulated on the tights, TO
permit of easier and more graceful move
ment.
The immense hats were secured from
the regiments themselves, and are the
same as are actually worn on parade and
dress occasions. The first act Is painted
from barracks room of one of the
Grenadier regiments and is also historical
ly correct.
AS one feature of the act, fencing
bout was required, and this made 1t
necessary for two of the girls to become
proficient with the broadswords
Misses Julia Gloss and Louise Touzier
were selected for this work, and that
they might show the skill required, they
were given course in fencing and broad
sword work under Count Ximenes de
Tours, who was at one time the private
instructor of the Count de Bourbon, pre-
tender to the throne of France.
Are Clever DueIists
That they were apt pupils is evident
to everyone who has seen their work;
that they actually fence is demonstrated
h,- tha hair
where the swords have crisscrossed them
It'll at close range they look like miniature
additions of a Heidelberg student.
The other four of the seXtette, Misses
Mamie Brooke, Mildred Cook, Lillian
Cameron and Elizabeth Riker are also
apt fencers, so that they can act as
understudies when their companions are
put hors du combat by too telling
stroke or thrust.
Their military evolutons were all
taught them by Captain Roderick Dhu
Cameron, brother of Miss Lillian Cam
eron, an officer in the Scots Guards
The baton drill was also a subject of
especial training, 1t being given them by
Bandmaster Robert Rodgers, leader of the
musicians of the Coldstream Guards.
The first appearance of THE Stunning
Grenadiers" was at Oxford music hall,
London, and to say that they created "a
sensa tion is putting it mild.
Miss Meredro simply ran away with
things, and was e. gagged that same night
as principal boy by Arthur Collins for
next winters pantomime at the Theater
Royal Drury Lane. London.
The act as a Whole was Immediately
booked for an American tour, but only
brief time could be secured, as it returns
almost Immediately to London.
New York found it just as attractive as
had the British metropolis, and every
where the girls have gone they have been
the same sensation, as well for theiI
stunning appearance and perfect drill as
for their beauty or that of their act.

SANTA MONICA, Aug. lit un-
kind fate that turned Miss Winnie Chester of
iii West Seventeenth street. Los Angeles, in
the direction of Santa Monica yesterday morn
ing, when after quarrel with her mother she
slipped from her home firmly resolved that it
would see her no more.
OF large stature and appearing older than her
age, the girl had difficulty. representing
herself experienced domestic in securing
employment in the home of Mrs s. A. Mason
of 445 East Seventh street.
Here her actions aroused the suspicious of
her employer, whose questions were evasively
met.
The girl gave her name Clara Williams,
but would say little more concerning herself
Toward evening, when Mrs. Mason's suspi-
cons had been thoroughly aroused and she was
about to call the attention of the police to the
girl she was tod that the department had
been searching all day for a runaway answer
ing the description of her domestic.
An investigation quickly followed with the
result that the youthful employe admitted her
identity.
Toward midnight Mr.. Chester arrived from
Los Angeles and was given the custody of his

OFFICIALS NOT WORRIED
AT 0UTFALL INJUNCTION
DECLARE CITY HAD RIGHT TO,DO
THE WORK
Arthur st. C. Perry Brings Action
Alleging That Bids Should Have
Been Advertised and Con-
tracts Awarded by City

City officials profess not to be worried
by the suit filed yesterday by Arthur St
c. Perry, secretary of Robert Marsh &
Co., seeking to stop all further work on
the outfall sewer. An injunction is
prayed for.
Perry in his complaint says the state
law requiring the city to advertise for
bids on all public contracts of more than
$500 is being violated.
He says the mayor, city council and
board of public works, acting for the city,
have paid 100000 for work and materials
on the outfall sewer which were never
used.
The complaint states that Los Angeles,
by vote, approved an issue of $1,000,000 of
bonds for the sewer. The contract in
July, 1904, was granted to S. j. Edward,
who turned it over to Charles Stansbury
and c. L. Powell.
These contractors pursued the work on
the sewer until September, 1906, when the
city officials declared it forfeited. From
that time the city has seen to and paid
for the building of the sewer. The plain
tiff alleges that the city, after advertis-
ing for bids on completion of the work,
discarded the figures of all bidders and
took charge.
City Attorney Hewitt said:
THE city is proceeding strictly accord
lhS " sldle law lHe last legislature nav
ing made this possible by amendments.
I'VE are going ahead and doing the
work thoroughly and cheaply and are
bringing favorable comment on our city
engineering department for its achieve
ment which the contractors declared i'm
possible.
Probably the object is to lay founda-
ton for a legal claim later in the interest
of the contractors who surrendered their
contract, or possibly the suit has been
inspired by certain contractors who would
like to finish the sewer now that the
difficult section has been built
