WANT NO RAISE
IN FIRE RATES
INSURANCE UNDERWRlT ERS
EXPLAIN POSITION
WOULD REGRET BEING FORCED
TO INCREASE CHARGES
Letter Sent to City Council Expresses
Hope That Change in Ordinance
May Not Add to Existing
Risk

At the meeting Of the building COM
mittee of the city council Thursday
night Councilman Dromgold was anx-
io1s to know how the proposed restrlc-
tion of the fire limits would AFFECT the
rating of Los Angeles that is now
going on. This question, and that as
to the attitude of the insurance men,
was answered yesterday in letter sent
to the city council by the executive
committee of the Los Angeles FIRE
Underwriters association.
The letter, which was signed by Seth
Hart, J. w. Montgomery, G. A. Ken
Won. John e. Phelps and VIII Stephens,
composing the executive committee,
made the following statement:
1.-THE attention of this association
having been called to a proposed change
in the present fire ordinance, which
covers the fire limits, we, the under
signed, members of the executive COM
mittee of the Los Angeles Fire Under
writer's association, in behalf OF the
members and in the interest of the in
surfing public, beg to submit the fol-
lowing statement of what the effect
of this change will have on insurance
rates:
"The matter has been referred to the
district secretary of the Board of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific, who states
that at present a new schedule is be-
ing applied by the insurance companies,
this schedule to take into consideration
the conditions as they actually exist,
with reference to the construction, oc-
cupancy, ETC., of each individual build
ing.
I'm determining the general features
of protection for the city, the absence
of efficient building ordinances has the
effect of raising rates materially over
what they would be in case ordinances
were formulated with the idea of elm
mating the confiagration hazard, re-
sulting from the allowing of frame
structures, or additions thereto, to re-
main in districts of the character of
that in which the proposed change is
contemplated.
LAS it is abe earnest desire of all
agents to obtain the lowest possible
rates consistent with safety for their
patrons, we wish to emphasize the I'M
| desirability of any changes that might
! impair conditions and thereby necessi-
! tate an increase in rates"

YOUNGSTERS HOPE
TO RAISE BIG MONEY
Most Enthusiastic Boosters In Los
Angeles This Week Will Be
Children of Cathedral
School

Probably the most enthusiastic boost
ers in Los Angeles this week will be
the 700 children of the parochial school
of st. Vibiana's cathedral In fact,
the children have been boosting for
the last few weeks and as a result
have collected several thousand dol
lars worth of articles for their bazaar
which will be formally opened Wednes-
day evening in Turnverein hall. The
bazaar promises to be an innovation
in that line, everything having been
prepared by the children themselves,
and they will be disposed of by the
same willing workers.
The children have long wished for
improvements in the school building,
including a modern heating plant. On
account of lack of funds this has been
impossible and the children decided to
raise the necessary funds themselves.
Accordingly for many weeks little I'm
gers have been busy after schooi
hours fashioning articles to tempt the
purse and every child of the school
confidently expects to have the neces-
sary $4,000 by next Saturday night.
Bishop Conaty has been much in
terested in the work of the cathedral
school and since taking charge of the
diocese has made it a free institution
for Catholic children. Ri. Rev. Mgr.
Harnett, the pastor and vicar general,
has ENCOURAGED the children in every
possible manner and with the bishop
will formally open the bazaar Wednes-
day evening with an address of en-
couragement. Monsignor Harnett is
easily the most popular priest with
the children.
Not only have the children prepared
the articles for sale, but they are
planning to cook and serve luncheons
two days. as we'll as hot tamales dur
ing the evenings. Wednesday noon
the first lunch will be served by chill
dren in the hall. THURSDAY they will
also serve the luncheon. Al Levy has
become interested in the work of the
children ond will donate a luncheon
for 800 persons Frida~ noon which will
be served at the hall. James Dunn
of Jims Chowder House has likewise

CHINA TO KEEP OLD CUSTOM.
omelals Refuse to countenance the
Spread Of Western Ideas.

A Shanghai correspondent Of . Ger.
man paper writes: The custom
Of arranging matrimonial contracts
through agents or matchmaker has
been practiced In China for ages. The
business receives support from all
classes, for although the high-caste
men in some instances select their
first wives themselves, the additional
wives are al secured through the
agents
This being 70, It was only natural
that . recently distributed proclama-
don, written BY an unknown person
urging the women to rebel against the
old established custom, should have
created more than = little excitement.
The onicials ordered the immediate
destruction Of the handbills on which
the revolutionary screed was printed
and the arrest Of those who took part
IN their distribution
The empress dowaser directs that
further efforts in that direction should
be punished severely, and we know
what that means. She said that from
what she had heard the French mar,
