PROTESTANT ANGERED AT
ACTION OF FIRE BOARD
Commissioners Declare Property Is
Increased In Value by Establish
nnent of Small Factories
In District

Don't ever send us any more
notices that factories want permits IN
our neighborhood, because if you DO
we won't pay any attention to them,
was the irate remark of Mrs. l.
Burke, addressed to Fire Commission
er Schwamm yesterday morning when
the fire board granted II. G. Lilley q
Bro. permit to establish an iron
foundry at 2015 ST. Elmo street.
Several residents and property own
ers in the vicinity of st. Elmo and
Alamo streets appeared before the fire
commission to protest against grant
ing the permit, saying the proposed
site was too close to a school house
and their homes would be uninhablt-
able if it were granted.
The neighborhood is a factory dis
trict and, as Commissioner Schwamm
told the residents, their property was
worth more every time factory was
established there. He said the lane
was worth more in this particular Vi
cinity than in the Westlake district
but yalueless for residence purposes
The permit was granted and Mrs
Burke, who was one of the protest
| ants. was very angry

DEATH STALKS FOR
LACK OF WARNINGS
COMMERCE CHAMBER TAKES
UP DESERT PROBLEM
5ernardino Counties Not Yet in
Place and Prospectors
Are Suffering

Because desert signposts have not yet
been erected in certain sections of San
Bernardino and Riverside counties loss
of life on the desert Is constantly immi-
nent.
The mining committee of the Los An
geles chamber of commerce yesterday
took up the question of Immediately
erecting these much needed posts
which give directions to the nearest
water points.
Posts have been delivered long ago
to these different sections, but for some
reason they have never been put up
L. M. Beck of Pasadena.appeared be-
fore the committee yesterday and a
conference with him was held in the
directors ROOM Mr.. Beck has lately
returned from prospecting trip
through portions of San Bernardino
and Riverside counties. He said he
suffered greatly for lack of water and
is very earnest in his determination to
have signposts erected. He brought
this matter TO the attention of the
chamber and is so enthusiastic in the
matter that he has offered his services
to have posts erected.
The matter was deemed of such i'm
portance that immediate action is con-
templated and necessary steps will soon
be taken to prevent any further loss
of life in that immediate section of the
country. Four deaths have been re-
ported recently.

DOG CATCHER WILL
GET $6O7 FOR JULY
Council to Change System at Monday
Meeting, and the Pound Mas
ter May Be Paid
Salary

Dog Catcher Vacher made his
monthly report yesterday and it shows
COZ dogs were killed by him during
July, for which he asks the city to
pay 81 each.
OF the dogs captured by him during
the month IL were licensed, and these
were released as soon as the licenses
were produced by the owners; 181
dogs were redeemed by their owners
and four died in the pound.
This probably will be the last
monthly report submitted by Vacher
for the payment of fees. Some change
in the system will certainly be made
when the council meets next Monday,
although definite plans have not been
formed. The committee having charge
of the matter probably will meet this
morning if Chairman Lyon can get the
members together and prepare report
of some kind to submit to the council
Lyon has expressed himself in favor
of system whereby the dog catcher
may be put under civil service rules
and paid a salary instead of the fees
he now draws, which would take away
the temptation to catch every dog that
comes his way for the fee to oe had
for it's capture.
He does not suggest this as an alb
solute remedy for a situation which
admittedly has become intolerable, but
says he is open TO conviction if a bet
ter plan can be suggested. He has
opposed the Rochester -Fasadena meth
cd of dog catching, which gives the
work into the hands of the Humane
society and provides fine or impris-
onment for the man who does not
license his dog. He says this system
is not metropolitan enough for a city
the size of Los Angeles

Great thrush of Home
Builders to This Beauti-
full Beach : Other
Big improvements
in Progress

Before leaving for his vacation yes
terday Mr.. James G.. Cortelyou, Pres
ident of the Manhattan Beach Com
pany, gave the writer few items re-
garding the activities at Manhattan
Beach. Buildings of a most substan-
tial character are going up all over
the beach-houses that represent a
larger outlay of money than the av-
erage beach cottage, inasmuch as they
are to be year-round homes of their
owners.
This magnificent oceanside spot has
taken on decided activity this season,
and rightfully so, for at no other place
along the beach adjacent to Los An
geles can one find thoroughly desir-
able sand lots at low price, except
Manhattan. $3.50 here represents the
same sort of situation you will have
to pay $1,000 for elsewhere, all be-
cause the Beach Company has re-
served this tract until this time.
If you will get off the Del Rey-Re-
dondo car at Gibbs Real Estate office,
First Street, Manhattan few blocks
south of the pier-and walk up the
hill you will see the company's gigan-
tic grading outfit leveling off the sand
dunes-making ready these $3.50 ocean
view lots. This is quite novel ma
chine, operated by cables from a mon-
ster gas engine-not a mule or horse
on the job--and the effective manner
in which it does the work is worth
going to see. Complete maps and blue
prints of this big improvement may
be seen aspthe Company's office, 531-
532 Douglas Building.

EGG SMASHING ACT
COSTS TEN DOLLARS
MRS. SCHUBERT FINED FOR
ASSAULT ON DUNNlNG
Regrets Her Supply of Missiles Was
So Limited, and SCOTS Threaten
ingIy at Charges That She
Wanted Blackmail

Mrs. Virginia Schubert, who was
found guilty by Police Justice Freder-
ickson yesterday of disturbing the
peace because she smashed bag OF
antique eggs over the head of l.. H.
Dunning, one of the proprietors of the
Rosedale livery stables, 1870 West
Washington street, Monday evening,
appeared in police court yesterday
afternoon for sentence and was
fined $40.
After leaving the court room Mrs.
Schubert, in relating the ctrcum-
stances leading up to the egg break
ing episode, declared that Dunning
had acted in anything but a manly
way during their conversation over
the telephone, and said she was sorry
that she did not have more eggs TO
use on him when she arrived at the
stables the evening of the trouble.
In referring to the attempt made to
have her arrested on a complaint
charging extortion, which was refused
by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Guy
Eddie, Mrs. Schubert said she was IN
nocent of attempting to get money by
blaCltmai and if such charge should
be brought against her could easily
prove her innocence. She also said
that a number of startling facts would
be revealed, duplicating several per-
sons and placing others than herself
in an extremely difficult position.
Mrs. Schubert exhibited letters from
her father who is in the northwest,
showing that he sends her money, ana
declares she is dependent upon MIN
alone for her maintenance.

HORSES DASH THROUGH
THE CROWDED STREETS
Teams Become Frightened and Run
AWay-Many Persons in Their
Path Narrowly Escape
Injury

j. H. Fisher, a driver for the Pioneer
City and Suburban Delivery company,
was thrown from his wagon yesterday
morning and painfully bruised when
the horse which he was driving be-
came frightened at First and Olive
streets and ran down First street to-
ward Broadway. A number of persons
narrowly escaped injury when the ani>
NAL turned on Broadway, where 1t
slipped and fell and was caught before
any damage was done.
About the same time two horses at
tachea to a heavy brewery wagon took
fright at the whistle of an engine at
the Arcade station and dashed madly
down the court from the baggage room
to the express office at the south end,
where they were brought to a sudden
stop by a fence. There were num-
ber of persons and teams in the path
of the maddened animals, but they
cleared all distractions, no one was
injured and none of the wagons was
struck. One of the horses was badly
bruised when it struck the fence.

BENT WITH YEARS, THEY

Two persons with shoulders bent
under the weight of years appeared
at the office of the county clerk yes

Two hours later the wedding took
place, the second ceremony of its kind
that had taken place during their life.
Thirty years ago Jose A. Moreno

or certificate was issued and the priest
who officiated at the wedding died
shortly afterward.
"Since them" said the old man yes

HOUGHTON AND
SCHWAMM TILT
COMMISSIONER OBJECTS TO
"BUTTINSKIS"
FORMER COUNCILMAN QUICK TO
RESENT INSULT
Makes Plea to Board for Fire Lieu
tenant Just for Pleasure OF
Again Appearing in
Public

1--WE don't propose to have buttin-
skis come in here and instruct TINS
fire commission how to do It's duty;
When we want expert advice Wen cal!
on Doc Houghton, but not until then.
Just Tor that you'll lose the Chlnese
vote in your race for supervisor.
These little bits of airy perslhage
passed between Fire Commissioner
Tony Schwamm and Doc Houghton al
the session of the fire commission yes
terday morning.
The board was considering the ap-
plication of Lieut.. j. L. Todd of engine
company No. for 500 from the nre-
mems relief fund, because he had been
absent from duty two and a nan
months as d result of falling from ms
motorcycle while on his way home
from the engine house.
Commissioner SchWamm had eX-
pressed himself opposed to the pay
ment of the claim, chiefly because ne
was opposed to motorcycles in gen
eral and specifically because he ala
not believe accidents OF the kind came
under the jurisdiction of the relief de-
partment.
Houghton was a casual visitor in
the commission room. lie did not
know Lieut. Todd from a side OF
bacon but it is such long time since
Houghton has had the privilege OF
appearing in public, such long time
since lie has spoken to a public gath
ering, that he could not resist the
temptation He asked the privilege OF
being heard on his well known slogan
of "a citizen and a taxpayer"
II think this claim should be paid,
said Houghton. 1.-THE tiremen are the
| poorest paid employees of the city gov
ernment They are constantly on duty
and must respond to their bells, ano
when one is hurt he should be cared
for. That this particular fireman chose
to use a means of modern locomotior
is nothing against him. and more tc
| the same effect.
SchWamm and Houghton are moi
the best of friends and Schwamm de-
clared the board did not need the ad-
vice of "buttinskis." Houghton replied
with his Chinese vote joke, but 1t was
evident he felt much better, in spite
of Schwamm's cutting remarks, be-
cause he again had had the oppor-
| tunity of speaking in public.
The question of the payment o.
Lieut.. Todd's claim was a subject o.
serious consideration. F1remen hav'
been paid out of the relief funds Whei
compelled to lay off because of colds
and Chief Lips advanced the argu
j ment that Todd was really dischargini
his duties even though going to hi
meal when the accident occurred, a
he would be compelled to respon
should the fire alarm rinT.
: Commissioners Kolff and Schwamn
objected to the payment of the CLAIM
on the grounds that 1t would estab
lish a bad precedent from which 9th
ers would profit, in that firemen couli
do almost any foolish thing they chos
to around the fire engine houses or ol
\ their way home, and if injured draw
their regular pay from the relief fund

HOW TO KEEP COOL.

Il is not high temperature, but the humidity
that sometimes accompanies IL which detracts
largely from healthful results that other

are of fine texture and light in weight, they
ward off by their poor conductivity of heat
the greatest danger of hot waves namely,
sudden variations of temperature. Woolen
underclothing keeps the layer of air between

tllre. while at the same time it draws the ex-
creted perspiration away from the skin, thus
