MOVING TOWARD CAPTURE
OF TRADE IN THE SOUTH
Chamber of Commerce Authorizes
Preparation of Pamphlet in SPAN
ish for Distribution Along
the West Coast

AS a result of the address made by
John Barrett last Monday afternoon
the chamber of commerce has author
lied the committee on publications ana
statistics to prepare a pamphlet in
Spanish for distribution along the west
coast of Mexico, Central America and
South America. This is the first step
toward looking for business in that Sec
ton of the country. The plan, of which
this is part, was presented by Mr..
Barrett.
The government has appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose of purchasing
grounds in northern Montana to be
used as a park for a herd of bison, and
the American Bison society has asked
California to subscribe toward fund
to purchase the bison to be presented
TO the government and placed upon the
reservation set apart for the animals.
Thus fan California has contributed
only $94 to the fund.
Before the adjournment of the regu-
lar meeting of the board of directors
yesterday afternoon the Bradford Bak-
ing company was elected to member
ship in the chamber Of commerce.

FIREMEN IRATE WITH
CARELESS EMPLOYEES
SAY GAS CoMPANY'S MEN
IGNORE THEIR RIGHTS
Complain That Wagon Has Been Run
Repeatedly Over Hose, Despite
Energetic Protests from
Officials

The Los Angeles Gas and Electric
company has reused the ire of the fire
commission through the continued dis
regard by the gas company's employees
of the rights of firemen. The gas COM
pany's wagon has been run repeatedly
over hose stretched to throw water at
fires, despite the protests of Assistant
Chief O'Donnell and other officials of
the department, it was stated yester-
day.
The manner in which the gas COM
pany's wagon was driven over hose at
the burning of Japanese store on
East First street this week, and the
employees indifference to the anger of
the assistant chief attracted the atten-
tion of Fire Commissioner Kolff. who
was at the fire. He brought the matter
UP before the fire commission yester-
day and found that the case was not
the first offence. The commission has
instructed Secretary McKeag to write
the gas company vigorous letter pro-
testing against the practice.

bers Bears Frut-Fleming and
Anderson Seek State
Aid

! The directors of the Municipal Wa
| terways association decided at their
monthly meeting yesterday to hold the
| second quarterly banquet and MEM
bers meeting soon after the national
| election. 1t will be part of the active
campaign the association is making
for a united harbor policy.
The associations campaign so far
has been confined to membership. A
systematic canvass is being made OF
business men and more than 900 MEM
bers have been secured. Many or
these are for life membership, for
which the fee is $40.
Sidney A. Butler Of Los Angeles and
John A. Anderson of San Pedro yes
terday were elected directors of the
Waterways association and A. T. Ferl

Secretary A. p. Fleming of the har-
bor commission and James A. Ander-
son will leave for Sacramento next
week TO take In0 tue idIiuo suit ny
with the attorney general of the
state. The pleadings are about fin
ished and there is no question as to
the states cooperation in bringing the
suit. This will facilitate the decision
and hasten the larger plans for free
harbor.
The Los Angeles Harbor company
yesterday began suit in the superior
court to secure the condemnation of
right of way for its channel from the
west basin in the bay of Wilmington
to Bixby slough. The condemnation is
asked of a strip 500 feet wide through
part of lot L of the Palos Verdes
rancho, owned by James Burkhardt.

Long Beach through the harbor agita-
ton the Pacific Electric company is
planning to extend a line from Long
Beach to East San Pedro along Ter
minal island Arrangements have been
made to use the Salt Lake railroads
new drawbridge and the road will
probably be completed within a month
in order to take advantage of an old
franchise which the Pacific. Electric
holds for the proposed line.

MAYOR IN ROLE
OF A SOLOMON.
HARPER TACTFULLY HANDLES
NEIGHB0RH00D WAR
Question of Allowing Woman to Con-
duct Sanatorium in Residence
District Causes Big
Ruction

Mayor Harper's ability as diplomat
and his practice of making personai
investigation of business which comes
before the city bodies served yesterday
to avert an incipient war at a meetins
of the board of health. The petltloh
forum at 1898 Woodlawn avenue pre-
sented by Mrs. A. C. Talbot was denied
by the board.
Some sixty women interested in the
matter and their husbands ana male
friends crowded into the room, and the
opposing sides denounced each other
vigorously. They began to gather an
hour and a half before the board came
to order. and the longer they glared
at each other the more the feeling
grew, When Mayor Harper took the
chair and called the board to order
the factions crowded around the table,
and those in the rear stood on chalrs,
until the city hall guide came in and
asked if Mr.. Harper was reading the
latest account of the ball game.
Robert c. Loucks appeared as at
torney for the protestants against the
hermit. but they spoke for themselves.
When Mr.. Loucks, in summing up the
objections, imputed an undesirable and
doubtful character to the sanatorium
Mrs Talbot arose and warned him that
if he persisted he would be obliged to
settle with her outside the building.
Dana r. Weller. attorney for Mrs Tai
bot. made the same threat against her
next-door neighbor, Theodore G. Tellef-
sen, following an interruption when
summing up his clients case.
Hair Pulling imminent
witnesses on both sides accused each
other of straining the truth, and
hair pulling appeared dangerously near
when Mayor Harper took a hand and
succeeded in pleasing both sides.
The mayor gave the results Of his
personal investigation of the case. He
praised Mrs. Talbots methods in car
ing for the insane whom he found at
the sanatorium, saying that he knew no
better conducted insane hospital in the
city. On the other hand. he upheld
the objections of the neighbors to the
establishment of an institution of the
sort in a residence neighborhood, and
stated that as a citizen he would not
be willing to see a similar place near
his home With the deftness of Solo,
mon the mayor showed that both sides
were in the right while both were
wrong, and partisans for and against
both exclaimed, Good for the mayor"
His decision--for the other members
of the board were glad to keep quiet
and let the mayor handle the trouble
was that the boards former refusal to
grant permit should stand. Mrs. Tai
bot will be compelled to find another
location, and the neighbors declare
that they will take the matter into the
courts if she does not move within
week.

ACRIMONIOUS DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS WILSON'S REPORT
in Grand Trunk Business and
Express Doubt of Their
Reality

LONDON, Oct. S.-The report pre-
sented today by Sir Charles Rivers
Wilson, president of the Grand Trunk
railway of Canada, at the semi-annual
meeting of the company, was adopted
only after acrimonious discussion and
sharp criticism of the agreement.
One of the shareholders declared he
was not satisfied with the accuracy or
honesty of the accounts, and that he so
seriously distrusted the alleged econo-
mics that he doubted their reality.
The president admitted the report
was disappointing, but said it was not
discouraging. He said also he was sat
isfied that the worst of the depression
that had prevailed throughout North
America was now over.

PACIFIC ELECTRIC REPORTS
ADMIT NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS

The claim department of the Pacific
Electric company has reported to the
city that twenty-one accidents oc-
Cured on the company's lines within
the city limits between September Is
and October 1. One-third of these con-
sisted of collisions with automobiles.
A claim agents report is always ex-
tremely reticent and avoids going any
distance beyond the bare requirements
of the law. The most serious accident
noted in the Pacific Electric report was
worded in full as follows: Lady in
buggy drove in front of moving car and
was struck, buggy damaged and three
occupants injured, one died" The acci-
dent occurred September 18 at Brook
lyn and Cummings streets.

trian Probably Saves
More Lives

WATERBURY, Conn.,, Oct. Sill
Eliminating gas, leaking into and per-
meating sleeping rooms in an Italian
boarding house on Bank street, kept by
Bagilupi Santoro, claimed four young
italian men as victims early today and
but for the opportune passing the
house of Antonio Demarco, the dead
might have been more than twice that
number.
Besides the dead, eight men and two
women were found either unconscious
or partly so from the gas fumes which
they had breathed when the police,
whom Demarco had called. entered the
house.
One of the women is the wife of the
proprietor. Demarco told the police his
attention was first attracted to the
house by means and groans. The odor
of gas was so strong that it was inn
possible to enter until the doors had
been opened for a while,

one at a time. The escape was
supposed to hold four persons
but when the two men tried
coming down together the cable
broke when they were about 25
feet from the side walk and they
fell in a heap on the cement
pavement. Martinson had his
tongue badly cut and his elbow
dislocated while Young broke
his collar bone and had his hip
badly bruised. Their escape
from death was a close one.
Frank Zolber, living one mile

streak came into the room,
apparently through the screen of

paper about four feet long on the
side of the room and parallel
with the floor. 1t next jumped
to the ceiling about four feet
above and tore the cloth and
paper both off a spot about a
foot square. 1t shocked three
children who were sleeping in
the room and put out the light
but otherwise did no other
damage and Mr.. Zolber was un-
able to find any place where the
lightning entered the room unless
it was through the wire screen
where the window was raised. =
