MUNICIPAL LEAGUE SECURES
MANY NAMES TO PETITION
Voters Anxious to Sign Initiative to
Put Utilities Ordinance on Bal
lot In December

That the intelligent public is alive to
the difference between the Dromgold
public utility ordinance and the one
proposed by the Municipal league, and
that they do not intend to stand for
such an emasculated measure as that
passed by the council Tuesday under
Dromgold's leadership, is shown by the
rapidity with which signatures are be-
ing secured to the initiative petitions
that are being circulated by the Mu-
nicipal league.
'I am surprised at the eagerness
with which the voters grasp the oppor-
tunity to sign this initiative petition -
said E. o. Edgerton, secretary of the
Municipal league, yesterday "Of course
we knew there would be no difficulty in
securing the necessary number of sig
natures, but did not expect we would
get them so quickly. With only a day
and half of work on the petitions, we
have more than 100 signatures, and
only about 1900 are required"
The league expects to present its pc
tition to the council at its meeting next
Tuesday, and if the petition is found
sufficient the public utilities ordinance
proposed by the league must be put on
the ballot at the general election.

BAN OF ORDINANCE
CITY ATTORNEY HAS HARD
PROBLEM
Council Expects Agriculture Pest to
Be Eradlcated by Law, but
Gives Mo Directions
for Purpose

A petition for the eradication Of the
Canadian thistle was yesterday re-
ferred by the council to the city attor-
ney for ordinance.
Just how the council expects to con-
troll the Canadian thistle by ordinance
does not appear. 1t may be the council
expects the city attorney to prepare an
ordinance making it unlawful for the
thistle to grow in Los Angeles and
prescribing a penalty If it does grow;
but how a Canadian thistle is 10 be
dug up by the roots and hailed into
court to show cause why 1t should not
be killed because it had not died is a
mystery the city attorney will have
to work out.
A suggestion was made in the mat
ter by Ralph Rogers. He declared 1t
would be a good thing for the city to
have a hay inspector. whose duty 1t
should be to see that no thistle got
into Los Angeles in loads of hay, and
whenever such was found to destroy
the hay This is said to be the way
the thistle has gained a foothold In
East Los Angeles, where it threatens
damage to lawns.

ALARM SYSTEM BIDS
ARE AGAIN DELAYED
EXPERTS ASSIST COMMITTEE
OF COUNCIL
Legislators Witness Demonstration,
but Know Little More Than Be-
fore, and Matter Is Referred
Until Today

The opening of bids for furnishing
manual fire alarm and police sig
nay system in the university district
was again delayed when the council
met yesterday because the mem bers
of the council were not convinced by
the demonstration they had witnessed.
Five systems have been installed in
the Phillips block on North Spring
street and a demonstration of the
way they work given to the council
Wednesday, but as none of the coun-
cilmen Is an expert electrician none
knew any more about 1t after they
had seen the demonstration than they
did before.
They all admitted this yesterday
morning and suggested that experts
be secured to advise a council COM
mittee of the merits and faults of
each system. This was the action
taken by the council yesterday. The
"GameweIl" committee, composed of
Wallace, Wren and DromgOld, made
another Investigation of the alarm
systems yesterday afternoon and were
advised by experts. They will make
their recommendation to the council
this afternoon. when the bids will be
opened.
City Auditor Mushet proposed a
scheme for expert advice. The alarm
companies that have installed work.
ing models in the Phillips block have
sent experts to direct the operation
and the auditor suggested that the
council could get expert information
by having the representatives of each
company "knock" each others sys-
TENS.
'Have them point out the faults in
each system, except their own" was
the way Mushet put 1t. The experts
were glad to have this opportunity.
One of the tests to which the sys-
TENS were put yesterday afternoon
was to demonstrate if four of those
competing can be connected with the
Gamewell system, which is the one in
use in Los Angeles.

MORE OFFICES RENTED FOR
PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS
City's Rental Expense, Now over
$4,000 Year, Increases Every
Few Months

Three rooms in the Tajo building
We're rented by the council yesterday
for the use of the deputy district at
torneys who prosecute state offenses
in the police courts. The city will pay
s65 a month for these rooms.
The buildings owned by the city have
become so crowded that every few
months it is found necessary to engage
additional offices in some of the office
buildings for the use Of city officials
The city now pays more than $4,000
a year rent for offices outside the city
ha1l and other municipal buildings, and
this item of expense is constantly
growing.
While the deputy district attorneys
for whose use the offices were secured
by the city are really county officials
and receive their salaries from the
county, the city feels it must at
least give them office room, as the fines
then. are instrumental in securing

RELEASE
WOMAN SUSPECT
FINGER PRINTS LEAD TO THE
PRISONERS DISCHARGE
Attendants at WestIake Hospital De-
clare That Mrs. StaehIe Has
Excellent Chances for
Recovery

After being held on suspicion in the
city Jail for three days in connection
with the brutal assault on Mrs. George
Staehle of SIS Gladys avenue, who was
slashed across the throat last Sunday
night while she was sleeping in bed
with her 12-year-old daughter, Mrs
Laura A. Sims was released from Gus
tody yesterday afternoon.
The attendants at the Westlake hos
pital late last night reported Mrs
Staehle to be improved and say she
has excellent chances for recovery.
Mrs. Sims lives across the street
from the Staehles. She was an in
innate friend of the wounded woman
and was a frequent visitor at the home
of the latter.
Her arrest followed Investigations
made by Detective P. H. Murray. His
principal reason for taking her into
custody was because of the smallness
of the finger-prints found on the Win
dow sill under which was a beer keg,
which was thought to have been used
to gain entrance to the house,
Finqer Prints Not Identical
A woman who Is alleged to be con-
nected with the secret service staff of
the district attorneys office claimed
to be an expert on tinger-prints ana
volunteered her services to the detec--
tives and was allowed to take several
prints of the fingers of Mrs. Sims. After
the tests were made and compared
with the prints found on the WlnaoW
sill of the Staehle home, Mrs. Sims
was released.
AS soon as her condition permits,
Mrs. Staehle will be interviewed by the
detectives, but as it is understood she
was asleep at the time of the assault
It is not likely she will give any IN
formation that will throw any light
on the matter.

FIRE COMMISSION WANTS
TWO POSITIONS ABOLISHED
Recommends to Council That Inspec-
tors of Public Safety Be EIimn-
ated from Department

The fire commission yesterday adopt
ed a recommendation to be presented
to the city council, asking that the
two positions of inspector of public
safety be abolished
Neither of these positions is oc-
cupied now and they are not considered
of value to the fire department They
have always been looked on as politi-
cal Jobs, created for the purpose of
paying politica! debts and not Aeces-
sary &c adequate fire protection.
The duties of the inspectors of pub
lie sefety were ostensibly to see that
wires In Easements were not over
charged that rubbish was not allowed
to accumulate and other fire dangers
were avoided. But usually these in
spectors of public safety had no
technical knowledge Of electricity, and
other subjects with which they were
expected to deal and their duties were
performed by experts.

ELECTION OFFICERS PAY
REMAINS AT $40 LIMIT

Councilmen Lyon and Healy made
a strong effort yesterday to have the
council take the limit, off the amount
to be paid election officials. The or
dinance now reads that not more than
$40 each shall be paid an officer of
election. But only the three MEM
bers of the council who are candi-
dates re-election-Lyon, Healy and
Yonkin-voted in its favor.
Lyons object was to pay the cleo
tion officials who will have to serve
at the primary election more than So
There is no doubt their work will be
arduous and they may have to work
thirty-fve or forty hours, but the
rest of the council would not agree
to pay more than SO.

SPECIAL SERVICE FOR
CHILDREN TOMORROW
Mr.. and Mrs. Schofeld Are Both
Splendid Personal Workers AS Well
AS Great Singers.-Rev. Martin a
Fine Speaker.

Last night the sermon by Evange-
list Martin was vigorous and searching
He showed that there is no such thing
taught in the scriptures as the uni
versal Fatherhod of Cod" That men
become the children of God by adop-
ton into His family through faith in
with the keenest thought and the most
apt illustrations and at the same time
there is a marvellous pathos about the
speaker that is felt by the audience.
He impresses has hearers as one in
the very deepest earnestness and as
one who is intent on winning men to
complete salvation through Jesus
Christ.
In these times when so many are
drifting with the current of doubt and
infidelity it is well that this note of
triumphant certainty be given its full
volume. Every honest skeptic in the
city should hear this man of God who
is on fire with the love of souls and
who is giving his life unhesitatingly
to the winning of men to salvation.
Saturday morning at 10 a. m. there
will be a special service for children
and young people to which everybody
is invited. Additional room will be
provided for the great congregation
before Sunday, when thousands are
expected to be in the meetings.
