SANTA BARBARA, Cal, June IS
Domingo Schiappa Petra has filed
suit against the heirs Of the late
Lcopoldo Petra Of Los Angeles, ask
ing one hall OF an estate valued at
$2,250,000, alleged she is the common
law wife Of FREDERICK Pietra, an Ital-
ian immigrant who laid the founda-
ton for the immense fortune. He
died in this city 40 years ago, leaving
an estate then worth but $4,000 to
his brother Antonio, ignoring his
widow and FIVE children. The proper
ty involved includes an 5000 acre est
ate in Ventura county valued at ST.
100000 Los Angeles real estate and
stocks and bonds. The plaintiff al.
leges that the fortune all grew from
the husbands bequest. Antonio died
without heirs in 1895, leaving his
estate to third brother, Leopoldo
who died without children, in Milan
Italy, in March 1908, leaving the
estate to nieces and nephews in Italy
and Los Angeles.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The St. Johns Apostles and the
Albina Wanderers hooked up in
the mud at Athletic Park, St.
Johns, Saturday afternoon, and in
spite Of the threatening weather,
fair-sized crowd witnessed the
st. Johns team win ITO 3 victory
over Helser's bunch. There were
not many features to the contest,
which was somewhat slow in spite
OF the efforts Of Umpire Rankin to
hustle the players. St. Johns is
now in second place in the Tri-
City League race and next Sunday
the team is scheduled to meet the
leaders in a two-ply matinee at st.
Johns.
After next Sunday the Apostles
will likely lose their star pitcher,
Wakefield, who wishes to return
to his home at I;lGia, Wash, and
pitch for the team at that place
during the summer. lie will pitch
one, aud possibly both of the
games against the Frakes next
Sunday. Philbrick aud Brown, Of

Editor Review: Upon what the
ory Of government is the ordinance
based requiring building permits
outside the FIRE limits in St. Johns
at cost Of ". As the law now
stands a poor man buys lot on
the installment plan and erects a
two.room house because he cannot
afford to build larger; building per-
NIT 81. Next year he Is able to
put porch in front, building per-
nit 81. Now what does the city
give him for these dollars he has
been compelled to hand out. Moth
ing. Absolutely nothing. II Is
not a tax because the state consti-
tuition requires all taxes to be equit-
able, but Il costs just as much to
get a permit to build a $50 shack
as a $40, 900 mansion. II Is not a
license like a saloon or drayman's S
license because il does not give you
a monopoly of the business. and a
chance to form trust. Taxes are
supposed to be levied for the sup
port of government, for the protec-
tion of life aud property. Does
that VI building permit afford you
any protectionl Not that anybody
can point out.
Now, the remedy. The man
that kicks without being able to
offer a remedy has no standing in
court. First repeal the present
ordinance. A permit to do thing
always implies a restriction. there
fore pass an ordinance prohibiting
the erection of fire traps in any
part of the city aud let the permit
to build carry with it an inspection
OF flues, prescribing OF what ma
terial and how the fiue shall be
constructed, as a protection against
fire. As matters now stand there
is nothing to prevent the erection
of any kind Of building (except in
fire limits) with stove pipe run
ming out through the roof or side
wall, right beside some other mans
house worth Que hundred times as
much, endaugering his property by
fire. think this II charge for
building permit, under the present
ordinance, is the cause of more
"cussing" than any other law up
on the books. l have had occasion
to take ont building permits for
several parties during the last year,
and in every case there has been
kick made, aud when asked what
benefit they were to receive for the
" l was forced to either lie to
them or answer none, and then you
ought to hear them swear. They
would cuss everybody from the
president down to the real estate
agent that sold them the lot. The
The whole cost of a building permit
and inspection Of flues in an ordi-
nary building can be covered by
". The permits should only cost
the city the paper on which they
are written. eve have a man that
has undertaken to do the clerical
work for the city for 500 per
month) and I think the chief OF
police would inspect the fiues in
any building in town for the other
oS cents. Yours truly,

Who had the nerve to roll 1t out
And stretch it more and more,
From centerpiece to rim, until

And likewise lifts its summit up,
On birds and other wings,
Above the earth until II scrapes
The clouds and other things'
Who added to the wondrous width
OF brim, so that the space
Could easily accommodate

Who built her hatl
Who made II something never seen
On earth or in the sky.
A fiat of wide extended plain.
A mountain towering highl
Cut wider doors for her to get
Inside Of any place,
And put the ceiling on the roof
To give her nodding space.
Push up the clouds to let her stand
Erect upon the ground,
And shove the wide horizon back
To let her turn around.
oh, weirdly, witching, woozy hat
That flattens out and towers
Who ever saw thing like that
A pancake piled with flowersi
A hat contagious-spreadingI Yes,
That names the Merry Wild;
