A girl OF taste and originality gave

the effect that movement is on foot
at Hollywood to extend the Sunset
boulevard paving from the eastern
limits of the foothill city to the wes-
tern limits. This statement was re-
ceived with much enthusiasm.
1t is expected that the intervening
space, about one and one-half miles,
will be ordered paved by the super
vsiors, provided the space is not
brought into. the limits of Los Angeles
by annexation.
The concluding action of the meeting
was the unanimous adoption of res
olution recommending a perpetual and
exclusive franchise to the Los Angeles
Pacific Electric Railway company
through the Hill street tunnel, which
will assure the residents along the
boulevard rapid transit along the line.
1t is confidently expected that ar
rangements will be completed whereby
Edendale property owners, who will be
greatly benefited by extension of the
paving plan, will be included in the
assessment district.

ACTIVE HEALTH BOARD
CLERK Is REPLACED

When the board of health met yes
terday afternoon the old secretary. w.
H. McGill, was found absent, and in
his place was Henry Sief, a deputy in
the board of health office.
Just why McGill was replaced by Sief
was not made public.
McGill is still in the health office and
draws as much salary as formerly.
He has been prominent in politics as
q Republican, and 1t is intimated that
perhaps a secretary who had not been
so prominent in work for his party was
preferable.
1t was stated that it was absolutely
untrue that any charges would be pre-
ferred against McGill by the civil SER
vice commission.

HIS DAZZLING FRONT Is A
SURE WINNER
BIushing Brides Enter Justice Jack
SummerfleId's Attractive Office
and coyIy KneeI at cupid's
Dainty Altar

JUSTICE JACK SUMMERFIELD,
one OF the best known politicians
- in the state. has cornered the mar
riage market. From the coroner's Of
flee, where he daily studied the problem
of how a man gets killed, he has now
taken up the study of why man will
ingly and joyously marches to the
slaughter.
Before the advent of the new JUS
tices there was q fearful competition
for the marriage trade. For years JUS
tices Pierce and Young held their courts
side by side in New High street and
frequently one or the other of them
could be seen standing in the doorway,
alert and on the watch for the BRIDE
groom with his SO or S. or sometimes
$40 fee.
But that day has passed. When
Pierce secured reelection and Justice
Stephens was selected for the other Of
flee the competition began to lag. The
justices were separated by street and
there could be no doubt as to which
justice the couples intended visiting
when once they started.
The Legislature further put a damper
on the competition by appointing two
new Justices and by fixing them all on
salaries, with all fees to go to the
county.
Since that time a prospective couple
can trot up to a Justices door and wait
there for q while before receiving at
tention, and little Dan Cupid is not in
the best mood over the condition.
But Justice Jack Summerfield is in
the marrying game because he likes IT.,
His face assumes a broad grin the
minute he sees a couple approaching
his office. He extends the hand of
Christian fellowship, gives the prospec-
tive groom a crack on the back that
jars the plastering loose, and shakes
hands with the prospective bride,
Then he leads them into his office and
the ceremony begins. The ceremony is
always short and extremely sweet, and
Jack never kisses the bride, but If kiss
ing is necessary compels his constable,
Ben Cohn, to perform that part Of the
ceremony.
Yesterday Summerfeld performed
eight marriages, sent eight happy
couples out of his shop, and there was
not a groom in the bunch that was any
happier than Johnnie.
One reason why the brides all like
Summerfeld is because of the fact that
he always has his office fixed like a
church altar.
He has a neat little table in the room
where he can arrange the marriage
license and the pen and ink. Then ne
always has a great bouquet of roses on
that table. Bride roses are the JUS
tees favorites, and the minute the
brides enter the place they begin to feel

DESPONOENT MAN
COMMITS SUICIDE
Ill Health and Lack of Work Prompts
Blacksmith to XIII Himself.
Wife Finds His
Body

In i'll health and respondent because
he was without work, William Delaney,
81 years of age, a blacksmith, COM
mitted suicide by drinking carbolic acid
at his home in the rear of 773 Gladys
avenue yesterday afternoon. His body
was found by his wife a short time
after he had died. Mrs. Delaney was
attracted by the odor of the acid. De-
laney left no message of farewell.
The man came to Los Angeles from
San Francisco shortly after the earth
quake a year ago. He was accom-
panied by his wife and 16-year-old son.
Soon after the arrival of the family in
Los Angeles the boy returned to San
Francisco, where he is at present em-
ployed.
Mr.. Delaney has been without work
for several months and a short time
ago began to drink. He is said to have
been intoxicated the greater part of the
last week. He returned home yester-
day morning after being absent for two
days. The body was taken to Pierce
Bros undertaking establishment and
an inquest will be held there this after
noon at o'clock.

BILLBOARD MEN WILL
TEST NEW ORDINANCE

Varney & Green, the largest owners
Of billboard options in the city, threat
en- to take a test case to the supreme
court if they are interfered with, ac-
cording to information given to the
police.
Although the new billboard ordinance
is far less drastic than many persons
would like to see it is apparently too
severe for the big billboard men, who
are willing to test the constitutionality
of the ordinance.
1t was reported yesterday to city
hall officials that Varney & Green
were intending to erect boards at Pico
the terms of the new ordinance.
Chief Of Police Kern will be in
structed to make a technical arrest If
the proposed billboard display is
erected.

WRECK VICTIMS
ARE IMPROVING
Those Injured in Collision Tuesday
Reported as Much Better-Suits
for Damages Will Be

Miss Lita Winer, 1146 East Adams
street, one of the persons seriously in
jured in the collision between Central
avenue car No. 413 and Arcade depot
car No. 100 at Fifth and Central Tues
day morning, was reported last night
to be resting easily although she was
more severely injured than was at first
supposed.
The others injured are reported to be
improving. Investigations made by
claim agents of the car companies yes
terday proved the accident was due to
slippery rails, as told in The Herald.
and efforts will be made to have the
rails at this point sanded in the
future.
1t is said several of those who were
injured in the wreck will soon file suits
for damages.

Sunset Boulevard Improvement

The several hundred members of the
Sunset Boulevard Improvement asso-
citation are in joyful state over what
now looks to be an early realization
of their fondest hopes-the brick paw
ing of Sunset boulevard from Main
street west to the city limits, thence
on to a point west of Hollywood, a
total distance of six miles.
At the recent meeting of the asso-
citation committees reported in favor
of the formation of two assessment
districts to be known as one and two.
District one is that part of Sunset
boulevard extending from Main street
to Marion street west, which portion
of the boulevard is eighty-three feet
in width. This portion of the boule
ward is to be widened to 100 feet. Con-
siderable work will devolve upon the
committee In district one for the reason
that many legal questions will arise,
growing out of the widening of the
street and the fixing of the curb lines.
1t was reported that owners of abut-
ting property along this portion OF the
boulevard had agreed TO stand for
one-third of the expense of paving the
same.
On to Hollywood
In district two, that portion west Of
Marion street to the city limits, the
DOuleNdTQ Is dlIeduy IUO Itbl III WlulH.
Good progress is being made In get
ting property owners along the boule-
ward west of Marion street to pay
one-half of the expense, and 1t is not
believed tl.at much difficulty will be
experienced in inducing owners of
property not abutting on the boule-
ward, but close by, to agree to meet
the other half of the outlay for the
improvement that is so much needed,
and when completed will at once great
ly enhance the value of all property
along the boulevard from Main street
to the city limits.
The association passed a resolution
requesting that the city arrange to
put i'm all necessary sewers and water
pipes without DELAY so that when the
pavement is completed 1t viii not be
torn up for sewer building and other
conveniences that will be In demand at
once.

things would require adjustment and

Hartmann is one of the proprietors
of the Hoegee Sporting Goods company

the case OF Douglas Dawson while the
latter was on trial. Hartmann is said
to have even continued to talk about
the case after being instructed by Judge

Hartmann claimed that Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Ed Fleming was to
blame for his discussing the case and
said that he had only done so in order
to have a note drawn up to be delivered
