WOULD KEEP CLEMSON
OUT OF NEWSPAPERS
Mr.. W. W. Dixon of Winnsboro
Thinks Press Controversy About
Discipline Bad for Institution.
To the Editor of the State.

To the Editor of the State.
Is there no earthly way that we
can be relieved Of the agony OF the
discussion Of Clemson's affairs at this
juncture in the public print. l think
all of it injurious and out OF order.
Capt. Minus knows enough about MIL
itarv science and ethics to have con-
tented himself with dignifed resig-
nation and silence, submitting his
grievances for redress to his super1ors
And loving the State, as he does, he
should have made a personal sacrifice
of his feelings for the good OF the
college just at this time. There is
enough fairness in the board to do
Justice finally between him and the
head Of the institution. The presl-
dent Of Clemson was precipltate IN
his defense and any statement which
he NAV have had to make in reply to
Capt. Minus should have been made
to the trustees. More than all, It
there has been no investigation Of the
points in the controversy now being
waged in the columns Of the press 1t
is very injudicious and hurtful for
the trustees to jump into the newspa-
pers, prejudicing and trying the case
for the public before thorough and
painstaking investigation which they
say they have not had.
I commend the attitude of Col. Alan
Johnstone, the president of the
board. He has been interviewed and
has nothing for publication. Such
silence at such times IS truly golden.

vers contend that he is insane now as
he was, in their opinion, for months
before he killed Annis.
There will be a tinge Of military
color at the trial in the presence of
several army officers, witnesses for
the defense, who were attached to the
post where Capt. Annis was stationed
during his army career. They will
testify as to insane acts of the defen-
dant.
According to John F. Mcintyre,
chief counsel for the defense, evidence
will be introduced to show hereditary
taint of insanity in the defendant s
family.
Justice Garretson has ordered the
jury locked up during the trial.

CHEMICALS EXPLODE:
MAN SEVERELY HURT
EmpIoye Alone in Laboratory Expert
menting with Acids Is Burned
About Bodybuilding
Demolished

In an explosion of chemicals which
at Mission road and Daily streets yes
terday morning Fred Eble, 80 years
old, living at 1887 East Adams street,
an employe of the Los Angeles Fire
works and Calcium Light company,
was hurled a considerable distance,
burned severely about the face, head.
neck, arms, hands and body, and his
clothing set on fire. The force of the
explosion was SO great the walls of the
fran structure were crumbled like pa
per. The injured man was taken to the
county hospital and is in serious con-
dition.
Eble was alone in the building at
the time of the accident. He was ex-
perimenting with some chemicals, and
just as he pOrued a certain acid into
a mixture of other liquids there was a
binding flash and a deafening explo-
sion and the place quickly was en-
veloped in flames.
The first person to rush to the aid of
the injured man is a neighbor, who
heard the explosion and hastened to
the burning building. The man, who
refused to give his name, reached Eble
just as the latter was crawling away
from the wrecked building, his clothing
ablaZe.
The unidentified rescuer dragged Eble
to a puddle of water and dragged the
unfortunate man through it, extin-
gushing the blazing clothes.
Il want to go to the county hos
pital," mOaned Eble; ''please take me
there at once.'
The rescuer supported the suffering
man to that institution, and after Civ
ing him in charge of one of the at
tendants hurried back to the burning
building. In the meantime an alarm
had been turned in, but neighbors
however, had used a garden hose on
the burning building, and when the
fremen arrived the fire had been ex-
tinguiShed.
The building was owned by F. A
Wilson and the loss on it is estimated
at $3.50, while the damage to the con-
tents is estimated at $1,000.

WANTS MAPS FILED WHEN
ABANDONMENT IS SOUGHT
Recommendation Made by City En=
gineer Will Be Taken Up by
the Council at Its Next
Meeting

Property owners who want portions
of streets and alleys abandoned so they
can add little more to their holdings
will find this a little more difficult if
the recommendation made to the board
of public works by City Engineer Ham
lin is followed by the council at its
meeting next Tuesday.
Engineer Hamlin reported that a
large number of streets and alleys had
been abandoned by the council, and
that, as no subdivision maps had been
filed absorbing these streets and alleys
into the surrounding territory, he had
been compelled to carry them on his
maps. This involves a good deal of
unnecessary work in his department,
and the city assessor has estimated
that the cost of the detail involved by
these abandoned parcels of land in his
office costs nearly $4,000 each year.
The engineer has recommended that
when property owners ask for the
abandoning of streets and alleys they
file subdivision map with the council
before the abandonment is completed.

CITY SAVES $4,000
ON PAVING CONTRACT
Sunset Boulevard Brings Much
Lower Figures Than First
Submitted

The board of public works yesterday
let the contract for the paving of Sun
set boulevard, and the lowest bid, which
company, showed that by readvertising
and waiting a few days the property
owners were saved about $40, 900 in the
cost of the improvement.
The price for which the PattillO COM
pany has offered to do the work is $685.
926. The Barber Ashpalt company was
the next lowest bidder, $169, 662 being
the price asked by the Barber people.
This price is like picking up bar
gains, in the opinion of the board of
public works. The city engineer esti-
mated the work would cost more than
$200,000, and that his estimate was not
far wrong was shown by the bids first
submitted.
When the first bids were opened both
the Pattillo and Barber companies were
within $50 of each others figures. The
lowest price was $1S3,O00. Other bid
ders asked about 100000 for the con-
tract.
When the first bids were opened a
technical objection arose over the ques-
tion of specifications, and as both the
Barber and Pattillo concerns threat
ened to take the matter into the courts
if the contract was awarded to either
the board found it best to reject all
bids and readvertise. They are now
glad they did, for but few days delay
was occasioned and $4,000 was saved
through the keen rivalry Of the two
paving companies.
This improvement is for the paving of
Sunset boulevard from the western city
limits to it's terminus in the business
center. 1t will be one of the longest

Boiled Water

Boiling Water for Drinking Pur-
poses Does Not Purify It
Merely Condenses the Impuri-
ties Already in It The Pure
Part Escapes in the Steam.

Some people are sincere believers in
Boiled Water for drinking They be-
Heve that boiling water pl1rifes if.
makes it fit for drinking purposes.
Boiling water may kill the disease
germs in it, but it does not bv anv
means purify the water In fact boiled
water is less pure than the same water
unboiled.
Boiling reduces the volume of the
water. The pure part escapes in the
form of steam. The water that is left
retains the impurities, mineral or vege-
table, that were in II formerIv-in a
more condensed form than before boil
ing.
The only successful way of purifying
water scientifically is by distiIlation.
Simply speaking, distilling water is
turning it into steam and recondensng
this steam into water In the process
all impurities in the water are deposited
as solids. Distilled water is thus con-
densed steanl-pure water
Puritas Distilled Water is the only
reliable distilled water obtainable here-

aerate it with pure ozone; we bottle if

PROPERTY OWNERS AND CITY
ADVISED TO SHARE EXPENSES

Property owners in the Highland
Glen tract have asked the city to con-
strutt a bridge across the Arroyo Seco,
near Avenue 81, half the cost to be paid
by the city and the other half by the
property owners in this tract.
The engineer reported to the board
of public works yesterday that the cost
of a bridge across this point would be
$1150 for single span of 20 feet on
concrete abutments. He recommended
that instead of a Vrooman act assess
ment, if the city was inclined to build
the bridge, the property owners pay in
their portion of the cost without MAX
ing an assessment district, as the work
involved in making such a district
would entail more expense

TOO MANY LAWYERS
AT POLICE STATION
District Attorneys Office Makes Re-
quest for More Room for His
Assistants at Head
quarters

The board of public works is at a loss
to know what to do with the request
of Deputy District Attorney Paul Nc
COrmiCk for more room at the police
station. There are now ten attorneys
at the police station, engaged in con-
Quoting city cases in the police courts.
The city attorney is represented by the
prosecuting attorney, four assistants
and one clerk. The district attorney is
represented by Mr. Mccormick and
three assistants.
The city attorneys six representa-
tives have four rooms and the district
attorneys deputies have two rooms.
81 don't know what we can do about
it, said Ed Kern at the meeting of
the board of public works yesterday.
1T seems to me City Attorney Hewitt
has more deputies up there than he
can possibly use. Since the prosecut-
ing attorney was shorn of his powers
to conduct state misdemeanors by the
district attorney, the city officials have
very little they can do. Practically all
the police court cases are handled by
the district attorneys deputies, except
some few minor miSdemeanOrS that
come under the jurisdiction of the city
attorney"
The crowded situation in the attor-
neys' quarters in the Jail building has
been caused by that same shearing of
power from the prosecuting attorney to
which Kern referred. Before Thomas
L. Woolwine, who was prosecuting at
torney, began to stir things up and
thereby incurred the enmity of the dis
trict attorney to such an extent that
Mr.. Fredericks took away his authority
as deputy district attorney and placed
some of his own men in the central Jail
building, the city attorneys forces
had handled all cases-state county
and city-and there was plenty of
room.
The board Of public works concluded
to take the matter up with Hewitt per
sonally, evidently with the intention Of
persuading him to withdraw some of
his deputies from the Jail building and

PARK PHOTOGRAPHS TO BE
ON DISPLAY AT EXPOSITION

AS an advertisement for the city the
park department will have photographs
taken of all the most beautiful parks in
the city. They will be sent to the Alas
ka- Yukon-Pacific exposition.
These views will be made into pan
oramlc exhibit, showing as much of
each park as is possible, and the com
mission believes this will have a
marked effect on visitors to the expo
sition. One of the prides of Los Ange-
les is its parks. Probably no other
city of the size Of Los Angeles has
so many parks, and it is certain there
are none that have their natural beauty
and advantages
