MAY Christ save mel" shrieked Chris

morning. She fought in vain to get away
from the officers and pleaded with Police

the woman was insane, and she was

She went to the Buena Vista bridge and
stood on the car tracks. When the cars
came she refused to move, and it was
only when the police officers came that
traffic on the car line was restored:
At the police station she said she lived

The interstate commerce commission
has adopted more peaceful and con-

at first glance to have dealt the asso-

an advantage for Los Angeles.
The ruling of the commission debarred
the association from validating tickets

The long pending dispute regarding the

OLD BLIND TOM COLLINS
MAY LOSE CITY HALL JOB

Tom Collins, the old blind guide who is
stationed in the city hall corridors to an
swer questions, may soon be missing
from under the bureau of information"
sign.
The city council which is pairing ex-
penses where it can, yesterday referred
the legality of the appointment to the
city attorney and gave Collins thirty
days more shrift. At the end of that
time the finance committee will decide
his fate.
If thev are to Introduce a, nensfon sys-
tenn no one can foresee the end. If the
plan is merely to keep Collins, some say
$50 a month Is too much.
Collins is a legacy from the old coun-
Gil whose work the present council has
taken pleasure in undoing on several
occasions.
He is well known to politicians and
tradition says he lost his eyesight from
too close application of his work as
copyist in one of the city departments.

floor on account of the repairing which
is now in progress. There is no other
suitable location or section OF the
building which is large enough, except
ing the patrolman's dormitory. This,
1t is thought, will eventually be con-
verified into municipal court room. The
change Will necessitate the tearing up
