Huntington Beach Assembly

HUNTINGTON BEACH. July 2S.-At
the Huntington Beach Methodist camp
meeting yesterday afternoon Rev. r. A.
Torrey preached a great sermon from
| John 3:22: Whatsoever we ask. we
receive of him, because we keep his
commandments, and do the things that
are pleasing in his sight" He launched
out into a discourse of some of the
things that some processing Christians
do that certainly cannot be pleasing in
the sight of God, specifically discussing
theater going, dancing and card play
ing He quoted Clement Scott, the
great dramatic critic of London, whom
Queen Victoria knighted, as saying: 1T
is practically impossible for woman
to perform on the stage today and re-
tain her womanly modesty." Or. Tor
rev said: 1.-THE influence of the stage
on the men and women who perform Is
ruinous.
knowing the stage as I know It,
would rather see one of my daughters
in her coffin than to see her on the
stage. The stage Is doing more 10
break up homes than any other institu-
ton save one-the dance. The hardest
fight the American young man has to-
day Is not the fight against intoXicat-
ing drink, but the fight for personal
nurjty. If there is anything that has
internal possibilities in it 1t is a pack
of cards"

REVIVE LATE POLICE CHIEFS PLAN
FOR ORGANIZATION AGAINST FIRE

II URIED in the mayors office, per-
X haps, or possibly mislaid with
- private papers, and certainly
never filed officially, lies a document
containing a recommendation to the
mayor of this city which, if acted upon,
might result in the saving of hundreds
of lives and millions of dollars worth
of property.
The document is a communication
from the late w. II. Auble, captain of
police, and was prepared finally in the
fall of 1906, while Auble was chief of
police, after he had borne the matter in
mind for nearly six months. In that
communication Chief Auble suggests
that the municipal officials should plan
to meet a great conflagration if this
city ever should suffer in that way, as
so many cities have in the past.
A similar document was prepared by
Chief of Police Sullivan of San Fran
cisco, who succeeded in gaining Off
cial recognition of his plan to systema-
tie the fight against a great fire, II one
ever should gain headWay in San Fran
cisco. Before the plan suggested by
Chief Sullivan could be definitely for
mulated and arrangements made. to
carry 1t into effect the originator died,
and, to all intents and purposes up to
the present time, the plan died with
him.
And in San Francisco in April, 1906
when the police and fire departments
found themselves helpless and bewil-
dered in the midst of unimagined con-
ditions which there had been no prepa
ration to meet, and terrible expert
ments had to be tried in the midst of
overwhelming horror, a lesson was pre-
sented which millions of people shud-
dercd at and which Chief Auble of Los
Angeles sought to have applied for tho
protection of the people and property
if like conditions of horror should arise
in this city.
Chief Auble's communication. the
only known copy of which now reposes
in an old file book of the chiefs office,
is dated October 3, 1906. It is addressed
to Mayor owen McAleer, and begins;
Suggests a Conference
Having in view the warning given
by the circumstances attending the
san Francisco fire, following the
earthquake of last spring, l desire to
suggest that his honor, the mayor, call
into conference with him the following
officers of the city, namely: The chief
of the fire department, the city attOr-
ney, the superintendent of the local
water department, the superintendent
Of the Los Angeles Railway company.
a member of the board Of police COM
missioners a member of the board Of
fire commissioners and the chief of po-
lice. with a view to consideration Of a
practical plan for cooperation between
the various city departments and the
railway company i'm case this city
should he swept by a confagration.'

MAYOR ASKS TRUSTEES
TO DETERMINE TAX RATE
Same Amount of Money Used Last
Year Will Probably Be Needed
This Year

HOLLYWOOD. July est was an
nounced by Major Dunlop at the meet
ing of the city trustees this evening
that the tax rate for the city of Holly
wood would have to be set by them
next Monday and resume OF the
amount of money that was at the dis
posal of the board last year and the
amount that would likely be required
for the ensuing year was given.
The assessed valuation of the prop
erty in Hollywood last year was So
SS4O00 and for this year ii is $4,0S6,OO0
an increase of 100000. The tax rate
last year was $1.40.
After $4,000 of money on bonds had
been paid and $4,000 was appropriated
for the public library the trustees had
about $37, 900 at their disposal and 1t
seemed to be the consensus of opinion
that that amount would be required
this year. There will be bonds to pay
amounting to about $4,000 and the Ii
.brary appropriation will likely be made,
so that about $780, 900 will have to be
raised for the general fund.
A large amount of street improve
ment will be made this year. TWO large
contracts were let this evening. one for
North Highland and another for West
Sunset boulevard from the Gardner
junction to the mouth of Laurel canyon.
James Patillo was awarded the contract
for North Highland at about $4,000
and w. S. Cummings will receive the
contract for West Sunset boulevard at
So, 900. Ordinance of intention to i'm
prove La Brea avenue has been passed
and several other streets will be inn
proved in turn before the end of the
year. The work on Prospect avenue
will be started as soon as possible, the
cost of which will amount to about
$4,000
The resignation of Harry Gordon as
city trustee was considered this even
ing and he was induced to resume his
duties. His reason for resignation was
given as insufficient time to devote to
the city's affairs.

.PLASTERER is HELD
OVER FOR ASSAULT
Man Accused of Attempting to Break
Up Family Must Answer for
Shooting Innocent
Bystander

Theodore Wits, a plasterer charged
with firing a shot which wounded Mrs.
H. i. Smith of 1884 East Fifty-frst
street, was given his preliminary eX-
animation before Police Justice Rose
yesterday and held TO answer to the
superior court in bonds of $4,000 on a
charge of assault with intent to COM
init murder.
Wits, according to the testimony of
witnesses, formerly lived at the home
of William r. Hampton, a motorman,
1914 East Fifty-hrst street. The de-
fendant was suspected Of becoming in
fatuated with Mrs, Hampton and Was
ordered to leave.
Later Wits appeared at the home
of the Smiths, where the IiamptOns
were calling, and a pistol duel cnsued
between him and Hampton. In the
fusillade Mrs. Smith was seriously
injured and Wits was wounded in tho
neck.
Wits was taken to the county hos
pital, whence he was released several
several days ago.
The testimony Of the witnesses
showed Wits to be tho aggressOr and
that he was responsible for the trou-
ble. He was unable to give the $4,000
bail and was removed to the county
iail to await his trial in the superior
court.

! The duty of the police department,
/ Chief Auble stated, in case of fire is 20
assist the firemen in saving life and
( property and maintain the fire lines so
/ as to guard the public from injury and
/ see that the firemen are left free to
/ perform their duties. In ordinary times
j the preparation of the department IS
/ sufficient to meet the needs of each
occasion, and the work has been we'll
done. In case of a great conflagration,
! however, the same methods could not
be employed with any success, and if
plans are not laid to meet the emer-
gency, if it should arise, such plans, Of
necessity, will have to be made and
executed in the midst of terror and
chaos.
Chief Auble declared he did not in
tend to suggest the conference asked
for should take up building regula-
tiOns, water mains or any such mat
ters. but only the organization of the
forces which should be used to meet
the situation.
The city attorney, he held, should be
present to advise the heads of depart
ments of their legal rights in such cir
cumstances, and cited the grave ignor-
ance and doubt displayed in San Fran
cisco when definite purpose and swift
action were so fearfully needed. Much
suffering and death, Auble contended,
might have been prevented had there
been some general knowledge in the
beginning of what might legally be
done
The superintendent of the railway
company should be present. according
to Chief Auble's recommendation, for
consultation regarding the handling of
masses of people, preventing conges-
ton where there would be danger to
them and interference with the fire
fighters. Arrangements should be
made to keep necessary lines in opera
ton.
May Revive Discussion
The water department should be con-
suited in regard to the shutting off of
the water in various districts without
delay, to increase pressure where the
streams were needed to fight the fire.
Il have no particular plan" wrote
Auble in conclusion, but | expect one
would be formed at the conference as
/ a result of the interchange of ideas.
| The details of any plan adopted could
be carried out by the mayor, as head
of the city. and its departments in the
form of regulations of the department
concerned"
The purpose Of forming some plan to
protect the city in the awful emergency
which may arise has been revived and
may he carried out
Chief of Police Dshman when asked
yesterday if he would support the plan
of holding such conference as former
Chief Auble advised declared that he
would most heartily, and Mayor Alex
ander expressed himself as in favor of
the conference.
