FIGHT HOSPITAL
IN COMMISSION
WESTLAKE PARK OWNERS
GIVE AND TAKE
Legal Questions Over Permit Granted
Are Referred by the Health
Board for Consider.
alton

Lacking an opinion from the city's
legal department the health board yes
terday took no action on the complaint
of residents in the Westlake park dis
trict against the Wellborn hospital at
Alvarado and Orange streets, opposite
the park.
Attorney Ora Monette and DR.. o. c.
Wellborn were in attendance at yester-
days hearing, as were several prop
erty owners, both sides making state
ments.
j. b. Mallard said the two principal
reasons why over 126 property owners
ha,p signed the protests was that pa
tents would use the park as a loung-
ing place, thereby driving people away
from a park for which the whole city
was contributing maintenance costs.
The other was that its presence de-
preciated property.
Asked by Attorney Monette II he
would sell his property cheaper than
before the hospital was established Mr..
Mallard said promptly that he would.
He also mentioned that other owners
had cut their prices.
1.-THE frontage is fifty feet" said Mr..
Mallard. (which as any one knows is
too small to allow space for a hospital
without disturbing neighbors.
IF one such place is started here

will be safe"
Attorney Monette said that If loung-
ing In the park was the principal OBJ
lection that could be met and had been
met. He denied that patients loitered
outside the premises, saying 1t was a
surgical hospital from which all who
entered went home as rapidly as pos
sible. It was not sanitarium or tenn
porary place.
He pointed out that a garage was in
the same block and this he regarded as
more of nuisance than hospital.
IT lived next door to a hospital in
Toledo" said the speaker. land I did
not find 1t an Objectionable place"
Mayor A. C. Harper and Commits
sioners C. B. Dickson. ]. II. Seymour
and William D. Newell decided to re-
fer the legal questions to the city at
torney, as the permit had already been
granted before the commissioners real
ICED the issues involved.
Commissioner Newell recalled the
fact yesterday that when the vote was
taken he asked Secretary Hugh M.
Love il any protests had been filed and
none had come forward then to object.

Claim Is Made Boy Arrested in

Chin Gong, father of Chin Chung.
one Of the seven Chinese arrested at
Santa Ana last week in an automo-
bile, is doing everything to defend his
boy, and has gotten A. C. Way of the
First National bank and r. E. Leech,
also of Los Angeles, as securities for
the $2500 bail for the boy.
The father, who is wealthy mer-
chant of the Los Angeles Chinatown,
claims his son was born at Monterey.

the United States.
The other Chinese will be given an
examination before United States Com
missioner William Van Dyke at the
federal court tomorrow. They seem
to be of a different class from Chin
Chung, and offer no reasonable proof
of their right to remain in America.

ment for Automobile to
A. w. Gump

J. W. Crawford was arraigned before
Judge Wilbur yesterday in the superior
court charged with a felony.
Before pleading to the charge, Craw-
ford's attorney filed a demurrer on the
ground that it was stated in the COM

The small boy who doesn't want to
be dressed as a sailor is an anomaly
yet to be met with; as rule there is
no more popular suit for the boy who
considers himself too big for "girly
clothes" than that of the jolly Jack

most attractive OF present-day models
and will be as popular with the youth

suit is not too complicated for home

Navy blue serge is the material most
favored for these suits, though linen

CHAFFEE RETURNS
KNOWING FACTS
GETS INSIDE DATA0N CHARGES
OF DISCRIMINATION
Finds Conditions at Tehachapi Cement
Works Worthy of Further
Study-AdmInistra
VIII Act

Gen. Adna r. Chaffee returned yes
terday from his trip of inspection to
Tehachapi and a portion of the aque-
duct route near Jawbone canyon.
The chairman of the aqueduct board
travelled in more leisurely fashion than
on his previous trip and took time to
chat with many of the workmen to
learn the exact status of affairs in re-
gard to the hiring and treatment of
men, the commissary and hospital con-
ditions, and other questions of admin
istration that cannot be solved at long
range.
General Chaffee does things with mil
itary thoroughness, and it Is safe to
say, his friends predict, that decisive
three head men at the Tehachapi ce-
ment works. whose course, according
to charges made by delegation of
discharged men, has almost democrat
lied some of the forces on the big
aqueduct project.
Mayor A. C. Harper also commented
strongly yesterday on the testimony
shown in the informal hearing before
the civil service commission Tuesday,
adding that he had heard rumors and
would see to 1t that the matter was
sifted thoroughly and an example made
of the demoralizing influences at work
in the north.
So far the aqueduct board has made
no reply to the charges except that AS
sistant Engineer J. B. Iippincott told
Acting Secretary Dee of the commits
sion that the discomfort grew out of the
agitatorial work of John r. Parr and
others who had since been dropped.
Had Worked on Sewer
Members of the civil service COM
mission remarked at the hearing,
however, that most of the accused men
had worked a year and a half on the
outfall sewer and no complaints against
them were made there. and some of
them are now working for the school
board here.
Chairman David Edelman of the COM
mission will probably be out of the city
next Tuesday, hence IL is likely that
nothing will be done then; but at the
following session witnesses may be for
mally called and sworn, and the aque-
duct officials will then be given a
chance to refute the charges IL they
can.
Briefly it is claimed that the men at
the head imported former employees of
/, theirs from Cotton, San Bernardino and
San Francisco, allowing some OF them
to bring their children. A woman cook
who had two children and got permits
sion to take them to the camp was
forced to board them on nearby farm.
Los Angeles carpenters and taxpay-
ers were told no jobs were open, al
though fifteen vacancies existed at the
time.
Strangely enough. only q short time
before the aquduct board asked the
commission to except carpenters and
carpenter foremen from the civil service
list, and the commission yielded, though
against the wishes of Commissioner
Milton X. Young. The latter was at
Fresno Tuesday, but at the hearing In
the future he will doubtless take de-
cisiye stand on the alleged discrimina-
son against Los Angeles workmen.
