So said needy caller at the Bethle-

family for another day and was told
to come around again in the morning
as {. Job would probably be ready.
This is one instance among a number
of cases that can be witnessed at the

RAIN FINE FOR
DUSTLESS ROADS
Appeal Soon Coming Up in San Fran
cisco Involves Right to Oil
Streets-cities Banded
for Defense

Los Angeles may contribute $500 to
the defense fund being gathered to de-
feat the suit of the DustlesS Roadbed
company OF Camden, N. j., which
claims patent rights on the method of
oiling roads in general use in Califor-
MIA.
President Niles Pease of the city
council was yesterday asked to lay the
matter before his colleagues and he
expressed the view that Los Angeles
should do it's share toward fighting the
litigation which affected not only the
roads, but the oil industry as well.
On April 5, 1898, the Dustless Road
bed company obtained patents to the
system which Californians claim had
long been in use on the coast.
In October, 1905, the company brought
suit against the city of Redlands In
the United States district court of
Southern California to test these al
legged infringments.
The decision was in Redlands' favor
and the company has now appealed the
case. 1t is to fight this appeal that
California cities are asked to con-
tribute to a fund.
On January last the appeal was to
have been heard in San Francisco, but
because of the crowded docket the
case was laid over to the spring term.
District Attorney ]. d. Fredericks is
chairman of a committee of the League
of California Municipalities which re-
Gently held it's annual meeting in Pasa-
dena, which as an organization is in
terested in the litigation. With Mr..
Fredericks are Mayor Taylor of Ala
media, Mayor Lyons of Fresno and
Mayor Evans of Riverside, together
with Secretary H. A. Mason. These
men are collecting the defense fund.
When the hearing comes up it will
be necessary to send forty witnesses to
San Francisco from various parts of
the state and to pay their board and
lodging while there. At least $4,000 is
needed.
Various cities have already contrib
uted sums ranging from 5000 to $1,000.

Mrs. Ross Smith, 227O West Twenty
third street, clad in bathrobe and
with her 2-year-old son in her arms,
dashed from the house and reached the
street, as by a miracle escaping injury.
Mrs. Smith was IL the bathroom with
her little son. Both were in the bath
tub. Suddenly she heard a swapping
sound and detected the smell of smoke.
She glanced up at the ceiling, and as
she did so a mass of fire broke through
the partition and a shower of sparks
fell on the floor Mrs Smith sprang
from the tub, donned a bath robe and
Snatching up the child rushed from
the burning building.
The fire department was notified by
telephone, but owing to the muddy
condition Of the streets did not respond
as quickly as usual.
People in the neighborhood carried
out the household effects In a short
time.
Women rushed upstairs, Drawing the
fire and dense smoke, and succeeded in
saving some of Mrs. Smiths apparel
from destruction. Fortunately none
were hurt, although some had narrow
escapes from serious injury.
Tie fire originated near the roof, and
it is supposed to have been caused by
the electric light wires becoming
crossed. The fire was first detected a
short time before 3 o'clock.
Hard work on the part of the flremen
saved the building from total destruc-
ton.
The property is owned by Ross Smith,

and the damage to the contents at $500;
