CONSOLIDATION
PETITION FILED
COUNCIL Is ASKED TO CALL
SPECIAL ELECTION
When Names Are Verified Day Will Be
Set for Voting on Merger of
Harbor Cities and
Los Angeles

A monster petition, containing more
than $1,000 names in duplicate, was filed
with the city clerk yesterday morning
asking that special election be called
in Los Angeles, Wilmington and San
Pedro for the consolidation of the three
cities
Work already has been begun on the
checking of the petition with the great
register, and it will be rushed to a con-
clusion. AS great care has been exer-
cised in securing signatures to the petit
ton 1t is almost certain to prove sufti-
cient to make 1t mandatory on the
council to call the election, but the
council will need no special urging as
every member is in favor of the move
ment, and resolutions have been passed
by unanimous vote expressing the coun-
cil's views on the matter.
The opening of the consolidation cam
paign at San Pedro tomorrow evening,
although in the hands of the San Pedro
committee will be attended by delega-
tions from Wilmington and Los An
geles, and members Of the consolidation
committees of both cities will be
present.
Nothing will be done to stimulate the
campaign in Los Angeles until 1t be-
comes a fact through the calling of the
special election by the city council. lin
mediately after this action the cam
paign committee of the Los Angeles
consolidation committee will arrange
for meetings and active propaganda
work in Los Angeles.

REFUSED USE OF
PHONE; IS ANGRY
YOUNG WOMAN ACCUSED OF
INJURlNG ANOTHER
Charged with Entering Home Where
Instrument Was Denied Her and
Scratching Daughter of oc-
cupant of House

Because she was refused the use OF
a telephone at the home of next
door neighbor Miss May Clawson of S28
Omar street is charged in a complaint
issued by Deputy District Attorney
Veitch yesterday with entering the
home of f. ]. Gunther, a fireman liv-
ing at 1892 Omar street, and painfully
injuring Beulah Gunther, IL years olo.
by scratching the latter's face until 1t
was a mass of cuts.
The complaint was sworn to by f. j.
Gunther, father of the injured girl.
He told Attorney Veitch that Miss
Clawson and her guests used the phone
almost constantly and no one else
had an opportunity to make use OF the
wire. Finally Miss Clawson, he said,
became so accustomed to using the
phone that she would not ask permits
sion, but she and her friends were con-
stantly running in and out to the great
annoyance of the occupants.
Yesterday Miss Gunther sent word
to Miss Clawson that the latter was
making monopoly of the phone and
to discontinue her visits to the mouse.
This greatly angered Miss Clawson,
and she appeared at the Gunther home,
met Miss Gunther in the hall and at
tackled her. scratching the young girls
face and tearing her clothing.
According to the complainant, the
girl was unable to defend herself, and
Miss Clawson only stopped her vio-
lence when two men roomers at the
house ran to the aid of the girl and
dragged Miss Clawson away.
Miss Clawson probably will be taken
into police court this morning to an
swer to the charge.

released on their own recognizance to

The complaints were sworn to by
Miss Fisher, who with Joseph Brooks
has been asserting her right to conduct
the inn without any advice from Gr1f-

proper manner of doing this eliminated
Friday when Critics, unable to dis
possess the woman, caused her arrest
and that of Brooks, and compelled them
to go before a Glendale justice to an
swer to charges of disturbing the peace.
Miss Fisher, as soon as she left the
court room, came to Los Angeles and
procured warrants in retaliation. Con-
stable C. E. Rice and several deputies
went to the inn late at night and ar

Rivalry over the way the inn should
be conducted has existed etween Critics

MINISTERS SAY U. S. C. PLAY IS
UNOBJECTI0NABLE
Methodist Clergy Adopt Resolution
Seeking to Have Smoking on Street
Cars of City Abolished by
Ordinance

The committee which for several
weeks has been investigating the cir
cumstances connected with an enter
tainment given by the students or the
University of Southern California Good
Friday, April 9, rendered its report yes
terday at the meeting or the METHODIST
ministers.
The report follows:
1--WE have inquired into the entertain
ment given by the students of the Uni
Versity of Southern California the even
ing of April 9, and we are informed II
was unobjectionable in subject matter
and in its performance; that it was OF
such character as has been common
with the young people of the church for
generations, being nothing but an ordl-
nary school exhibition with modern
paraphernalia. Unfortunately and in
advertently, because of the unusual
date assigned to the Easter vacation,
it happened to be given Good Friday
which has been deplored by all con-
cerned. We are assured that care will
be taken against such mistakes IN the
future"
Following the report Chaplain Nave
entered a protest against stock compa-
MES influencing children to perform In
the drama.
The w. c. T. U. presented the fol-
lowing, which was adopted:
whereas, Smoking and other use or
tobacco on street railway cars Is UNI
necessary and offensive to many per-
sons riding thereon, especially women
and children; and
whereas, To prohibit smoking and
other use of tobacco on street cars is
but a reasonable limitation of the de-
sire to use tobacco in the presence or
others; therefore be it
"Resolved, That we respectfully petit
ton the city council to pass an ordi-
nance prohibiting the smoking of ci-
CARS, pipes, cigarettes and other use of
tobacco on the street cars of our city"
