TRACT OWNERS COMPROMISE
WITH ELECTRIC OFFICIALS
Aaree to Pay for Transformers and
Lighting Companies Will Lift
Former Deposit
Rule

Counsel w. H. Trowbridge for the
Edison company who has just re-
turned from Washington, asked the
city council yesterday to postpone ac-
ton on the proposed ordinance pre-
venting the continuance of the GUS
tom of making tract owners deposit
large sums with the company to get
light service on their tracts.
The council seemed willing to delay
and laid over action until Attorney
Trowbridge could digest the BILL
He stated afterwards that the civil
code of California directed exceptions
under which the electric companies
need not make direct connections.
1t was agreed that If the realty men
would pay the cost of transformers TO
reduce the high voltage to low volt
age when necessary for their uses the
company would install service as need
ed and require no large advance de-
posits.
This the attorneys agreed to and
the council passed the law.
The Mccarthy company and others
who agitated for reforms in the de-
post practice expressed satisfaction
with this action.

COUNCIL LIFTS BAN
ON HILL FLRETRAPS
SECOND WARD LEGISLATOR WINS
HIS POINT
VIII Permit Repairs to Frame Build
Ings Between First and Temple
Streets, West of Hill
Street

After long debate and in opposition
to the wishes of Fire Chief Walter Lips
and Building Inspector ]. J. Baekus.
the council yesterday temporarily
shelved the fire limits law, so that own
ers in the district between Temple,
First, Hill and Hope streets could
make repairs to wooden buildings, move
them and take other steps heretofore
declared contraband.
Councilman e. A. Clampitt fought
hard for this relief, promising to vote
for repeal within six months and to
consent to a subsequent extension of
the fire limits as far west as Flower
street.
Some of the owners contemplate put
ting on new roofs and porches; some
want to alter barns into apartments;
some want to move the frame struc-
lures to the rear of their lots and
erect brick buildings in front.
The argument was made that though
taxes have been increased one-third In
this district, the rental income has
decreased, as owners of apartments
could not keep pace with those farther
south because they were forbidden to
make repairs.
Councilman Wren pointed out that
this legislative move let's Town the
bars for any one and every one to get
building permits for ~ can't lots
whether they need them or not, merely
to enhance the selling value of the
property.
With only one engine company near,
there was danger of fire on the hills
sending a general confagration
through the business district.

BY RIVAL
MAN KILLED IN FIGHT ABOUT
WOMAN
POLICE NOW SEEK FLEEING
FUGITIVE
oil Well DrIIler Dies at Receiving
Hospital One Hour After Being
Stabbed on the
street

A drunken melee, in which woman
played leading part, and two men
who ostensibly had been friends were
made the victims of a rivalry which
engendered l. Bitter hatred ended at
4:30 yesterday AFTERNOON in the death
of one OF the participants, and with
a prison for life, or worse, facing the
other, who up to late hour last night
was still a fugitive from justice.
Benjamin Tate, living at 512 Central
avenue, an oil well drilier, is lying on
slab at Pierce Brothers morgue
with several knife wounds in his side.
and Lee Barber, an express wagon
driver living at $40 Central avenue, is
being sought by the police, accused of
numbering him.
According to the police, Tate and
Barber spent Sunday night in a
carousal with a woman named Mrs.
II. M. Lee, living at sic Central
avenue.
Both men became infatuated with
the woman, who is said to be good
looking.
The three had been drinking whisky
UP to an early hour in the morning,
the police say.
Barber returned to the room, accord
ing to Detective Talamantes, who m
vestigated the case, and attempted TO
force his way through the door. Tate
became angry and a row ensued, as a
result of which Barber was put out OF
the room and the door was slammed
on him.
Tate Leaves Room
Shortly after this incident, Tate LETT
the room. looking for Barber, 1t is said
and during his absence Barber re-
turned to the woman's room and was
admitted While he was talking to the
woman, Tate returned, and the men
INDUCED In q bloody fist fight.
BARRIERS face during the melee was
badly scratched, but otherwise ne was
not injured.
The fight ended in Barber again be-
ing put out of the room.
Later in the afternoon, as Tate was
coming from. the woman'S room, IN
front of No. $40 Central avenue, where
Barber roomed, Barber walked up to
him, with a knife in his hand. Several
words ensued. and according to wit
nesses Barber attacked his rival
stabbing at him repeatedly.
Tate fell to the ground, MORALLY
wounded, and Barber disappeared in
the excitement, hurrying north on
Fifth street and thence across Ala
media.
His face. it is said. was badly
scratched in the previous altercatlon,
and with this as a guide, together with
a good description of the man, the po-
lice believe they will capture him.
Tate was taken to the receiving nos
pital, where Doctor Tanner dressed MS
wounds and resorted to every EFFORT
to save him.
One knife wound had laid his stom-
ach open, and several others were also
inflicted which, it is said, would have
proved fatal of themselves. Tate died
at $50 p. M, one hour after he was
stabbed.
According to witnesses Barber ana
Mrs. Lee originally were on intimate
terms. 1t is said Barber introduced
Tate to the woman, and that the latter
threw him over for Tate, when IS pc
lieved to have resulted in yesterdays
tragedy.

HENRY'S JOKE WAS
so FUNNY, YOU KNOW!
Mary Couldn't Help Disloeating Her
Jaw Laughing, Even II the Joke
Was Acknowledgment Re-
pairs Damages

NEW YORK, March 9.-Henry Lam
berson of 302 First street, Brooklyn,
young bridegroom, generally has new
Joke to tell his bride at the dinner
table each evening, and she anxiousiy
awaits his return from business for
that nightly laugh. Lamberson had
run out of jokes last night, but his
wife, Mary pretty brunette of TWEEN
ty-six, gave him cue unconsciously
when she suggested chopping a little
wood for the next mornings range fire.
AS he started down the cellar stairs he
sang out:
Mary, dear, how much wood would
a woodchuck chuck If a woodchuck
would chuck wood? He would chuck
as much wood as woodchuck could II
q woodchuck could chuck wood"
Mary fell back in a chair in fit of
laughter which she might have over
come had OF her husband asked her to
repeat what he had said. The thought
of such a thing seemed so funny to
Mary that her hilarity became alarm
ing, and before her husband could get
