FIRENEN INSPECT
SCHOOL HOUSES
WILL NOTE DOORS, FURNACES
AND FIRE DRILLS
Extra Axes and Keys Near Doors and
Electric Alarm Buttons sug-
aested as Advisable for
Emergencies

Fire commissioners yesterday morn
ing. at their weekly meeting, informally
discussed the school horror near Cleve-
land by which nearly 200 children were
killed and injured in a fire panic
No formal action was taken, but the
suggestion was made that each school
house in Los Angeles should be visited
by the captain of the nearest fire COM
pany. The fire drill should be in
snected. the condition of the furnaces
and exits noted and other points OBJ
served for possible future action.
Chief Walter Lips said to The Herald
that he believed such a calamity was
not likely in Los Angeles because of the
fire drills. the many doors, windows,
wide halls and exits. but he presumed
that the school board officials would
look into the situation more closely at
once.
Some of the commissioners said after
the meeting that electric buttons in
each room connected with the fire gong
which summons everybody to fire drill
would save precious seconds. Now they
depend on teachers sending messen-
gers out in the halls to ring the alarm
gong.
1t is likely too that janitors will be
carefully instructed to see that all
doors open outwardly with ease, that
extra keys and possibly axes be dis
tributed near the doors so that they
can be quickly opened if they should by
chance be locked.

MYSTERY COMES UP
IN WILL CONTEST
MRS. BOSSERMAN SAYS DOCU-
MENT WAS STOLEN
Petitions for Appointment of Stepson
as Administrator, but Now
Seeks to Revoke Action
in Courts

Immediately following John E. Bos-
serman's death on December 27 the
widow. Mrs Sarah A. Bosserman,
signed a petition to have her stepson
appointed administrator but later
sought to revoke this action and have
herself appointed.
The contest over the, granting of let
ters of administration began yester-
day in the superior court, the court
being called upon to decide whether
Mrs Bosserman had relinquished her
right when she signed the first petit
ton.
Mrs. Bosserman said she had been
persuaded by the stepson to sign the
petition for his appointment on the
representation that he could manage
the estate cheaper than herself. The
stepson, Dr. David w. Bosserman, told
the court he had seen before his
fathers death an envelope in the lat
ters desk marked will" but after his
death it could not be discovered.
Mrs. Bosserman, speaking of the will,
said her husband had made his will
about a year prior to his death and
told her he had left everything to her.
The stepson, she said, frequently visit
ed their home and on one occasion ex-
pressed curiosity regarding the con-
tents of the envelope.
II told him it was sealed" she said
land could not be opened then. The
desk was unlocked, and although I did
not see Dave take the envelope, there
was no other person who knew of its
existence or had access to it except
myself and husband"
The case was continued to await fur
ther evidence. The estate is valued at
about $4,000.
