PROTEST PROPOSED
OPENING OF STREET
PROPERTY OWNERS BELIEVE 1T
is UNNECESSARY
They Say Expense of Condemnation
of Land Would Prove a Burden
Rather Than
Benefit

Property owners on Twenty-third
street, living chiefly in the Strong &
Dickinson tract, yesterday filed pro-
test with the city council, asking that
proceedings for the opening of Twenty
third street. from Compton avenue
across the Pacific Electric Railroad
company's right of way, be abandoned.
They ask further that as soon as
these proceedings are abandoned new
ones Immediately be begun to open
Twenty-third street, from Compton av-
enue to Long Beach avenue.
The protest-petition recites that the
proposed opening across the Pacific
Electric right of way is unnecessary.
as Twenty-fifth street, 100 feet south of
Twenty third street, crosses the tracks
and Twenty-third street cannot extend
beyond the right of way. They hold
that the expense of the condemnation
of land of the Pacific Electric company
would add greatly to the cost of the
Improvement. and make it a burden
rather than benefit.

FRATERNAL ORDER OBJECTS
TO "THE CLANSMAN" PLAY
Foresters Petition the Mayor and City
Council to Prevent Production
Being Given in Los An
gees Theater

Court Solomon No. 8677, Ancient Or
der of Foresters, yesterday formulated
a communication to Mayor Harper and
the city council asking them to do all
in their power to prevent the produc-
tion of 1.-THE Clansman," which will be
produced at local theater during the
latter part of November.
The Foresters declare the play de-
picts the grossest of crimes and is
discouraging to negroes who are maxi
ing the most of their opportunities to
improve themselves. They say 1t has a
tendency to create enmity whom good
will exists.
The mayor has asked the manager
of the theater who has booked 1.-THE
Clansman" to bring the copy of the
play to him. He will read it and de-
eide whether it is as vicious as it is
claimed, and if it conflicts with the city
ordinances regulating plays at the
aters. The mayor is not sure of the
city's authority in the matter and will
wait until he had read the play before
asking the opinion of the city attorney.

Play Is Necessary
play is a necessity for children" !"
said Mr.. Locke. Work is irksome to
them, and they should not be required
to work in their tender years. The
men who accomplish most are the men
who play well when young, for play
helps to build up sturdy bodies with
which to back up mental activity.
There is a beauty hunger in the hearts
of the poor and play hunger in the
hearts of their children, and as long as
we do not do what we can to satisfy
this hunger we are not good citizens.
In so far as a man has attained wealth,
in just that proportion is 1t his duty to
the community to give of his abund-
ance that this hunger may be fed"
Among those who were on the plat
form with the speakers are D. K. Ed
wards, DR.. w. A. Lamb. Councilman
Healy, Mayor Thomas Farley of Pasa-
dena, Dana w. Bartlett, H. w. Brun-
dige, A. ]. Wallace, Niles Pease, w.
Ona Morton and c. F. Lummis.
Charles H. Mills, son of Benjamin
Fay Mills, Is manager of the inStitu-
ton and Is probably one of the best
selections that could have been made.
The boys and girls like him instinct
lively, and although he has been in the
place but short time, he has the con-
fldence and affection of every child in
the ward. The big boys would fight
for him if need be, although Mr.. Mills
is rather athletic himself, and the little
fellows would help them. They are all
his proteges, and proud of it.
Building Appointments
Although appearing to be three sto-
ries from the outside, the building is
roaIlxy fvsa FOR balconies add greatly to
the spacious quarters. The top Hoor
Is a roof garden, so arranged that the
smallest children may play there with
out danger of falling to the ground.
The first floor contains reception
rooms, in which are also reading and
game room, two bowling alleys, ten
shower baths and 300 lockers. The
combined gymnasium and auditorium
is on the second floor, also club room,
kitchen and library.
At one end of the audiorium-gymna-
sium is a stage, large enough for the
atricaI productions, and an eil1ptlcal
balcony, which is a 17-lap running
track. The workshop and offices or
the physical director are just outside
this balcony. The third floor is a five
room fiat for the use of the manager
and Mr.. Mills soon will lead bride to
this pretty fiat.
In the rear of the building. on the
Holly street side, is a sanitary free
dispensary, with a trained nurse in
charge. This will be a great boon to
the neighborhood, it Is declared.
