FURTHER BURIAL
FAR-REAcHINe MOVEMENT is
BEFORE COUNCIL
Plan to Prohibit Interments Within
City Limits After Designated
Time Is Laid Over for
Six Weeks

What promises to be an interesting and
long drawn out controversy originated
in the city council yesterday when pc
tition was read asking for the passage
of an ordinance designed to prevent the
laying out of any more cemeteries In Los
angeles and restricting the burial Of the
dead within the city limits in the future.
Property owners near Rosedale ceme-
terry started the movement but the ques-
tion is so far-reaohing that several of
the ccuncilmen ventured the assertion
that the problem will be unsettled long
after their terms have expired.
The Fourth and Fifth wards are spe-
cially interested in the petition, which,
at the suggestion of the councilmen of
those wards, was laid over for hearing
until December 16.
Il. A. Stephenson, an attorney, spoke Of
the menace to health which would result
in so large a city If the interments did
not cease soon, and cited the cases of
eastern cities where interments are reg
ulated. He favored law ntici like that
In San Francisco.
Councilman Dromgold said that under
takers would be on hand probably to
urge their claims, cemetery owners
theirs, lot owners would cite the sentimen-
tai side and the controversy would be
al unendirg one.
Councilman Wallace said that men, for
instance, whose wives are buried, or vice
versa, bought lots with the understand

rost beside the loved ones, and similar
questions would arise

PRESIDENTS TOOTH is
ON SALE AS A CURlO
SET IN GOLD RING WITH TWO
DIAMONDS
Roosevelt Presented 1t to Woman
Friend as Mark of Esteem
and It Now Reposes in
curio Shop

NEW YORK. Oct. 2S.-As the stranger
stood today before the dust-covered win
dow of little shop at Lexington avenue
and Sixtieth street he could not help an
exclamation of surprise as his eye rested
upon an object-an Goblet dart" they
would probably call it in the catalogue
which was described as nothing less than
a tooth of the twenty-fifth president of
the United States of America. At any
rate, that was the information set forth
on the little white card stuck up above 1t.
Just what the stranger saw was an
irregular oblong white object, about
quarter of an inch In length, studded with
two diamonds and set in lady's rather
heavy gold ring. The ring rested Dppro-
priately on royal purple velvet cushions.
Appropriate too, were its surroundings.
A silver medallion of Napoleon Bonaparte
fianked it on the right and pink cameo
breastpin of Alexander the Great on the
left. On one side of the stand, at its base.
stood a blue platter on which was de-
picted Washington crossing the Delaware
On the other side a pale green plate
showed Andrew Jackson at the battle of
New Orleans. Underneath, heaped to-
gether in innocent confusion, lay the
short sword with which every battler for
pure government has so often been urged
to fight a dilapidated blunderbuss, and
something that resembled a pair of sheep
shears.
| Scarcely realizing what he did the
stranger entered the shop. A suave and
| learned looking clerk bowed him in, and
looked at him inquiringly over his glasses.
THE tooth-the toothl" exclaimed the
stranger in hushed voice.
"Ah, yes, to be sure-the tooth, the
tooth"
| Is Human Tooth
| The words fell from his lips melodiously.
| He lifted the tray from it's stand in the
window and placed 1t on the counter.
| MAY I touch it?'
"Oh, notwithstanding won't hurt 1t

children about, too

Two suits for $4,000 damages each
against Abbot Kinney for criminal libel
were filed yesterday by George M. Jones
and w. H. Anderson
These suits are based upon an alleged
libel In the Venice Vanguard of July n,
August and August 10. The article in
question was entitled "a Tale of Two
Cities, in Several Cantos," and was sup
posed to have been written by Abbot Kin
ney. The leaders Of the Dana Burks fac
tion allege they were libeled and that the
various characters in the story really re-
ferred to the various members Of their
party.
In the complaints there is presented an
Interpretation of the terms and names
used in the article.
The blind tzar'' Is said to refer to A.
r. Fraser. Santa Monica is mentioned as
Warsaw and Ocean Park as Panama"
In the complaint of Jones he says the
term pal in the phrase "This policy Is
because of the holiness of the boss, who
is so good that he will gladly implicate a
pal in studhorse poker, SO as to do bet
ter" refers to him, as do several other
terms.
''I would have horsewhipped him If
friends had not persuaded me to resort to
the courts" said Dana Burks, former
mayor of Ocean Park, yesterday on the
witness stand The man to whom he
referred was D. q. Holt, editor Of the
Santa Monica Outlook, whom Burks is
suing for libel because of the publication
of cartoon.

city attorney, and G. M. Jones, a trustee
Of Ocean Park, are shown as vampires

men were present yesterday as witnesses

Kinney is said to be the head, inspired

Attorney w. E. Wehrle appeared as at
torney for all three complainants in the
action.
The defense then moved to have all but
one case dismissed on the ground that
there was but a single issue Of the paper
on that day and 1t could constitute but
one offense.
A second motion made by the defense
was to dismiss all three actions on the
ground of no proof of innuendo to inl-
peach. The motions were taken under
consideration by Justice Stephen.
