ing from his pockets and several articles

tured in the Mug saloon, PIT South
Main street, yesterday morning by M.
A. Ferrer and A. c. Parsons. jr., son of
prominent real estate dealer, and
turned over to Patrolman Mozart.
Ferrer was walking on South Main
street and saw Cavanaugh take a suit
case from an automobile standing in
front of a sporting goods store and
walk away rapidly. He thought some
thing was wrong and followed the man
to the saloon. Then he returned and
met Parsons, who was entering the
motorcar from which the grip had been
taken. He related the facts to the
owner of the auto, and together they
went into the saloon and located Ca
vanaugh in the toilet The suit case
had been forced open and his pockets
were bullying with silverware. They
seized him and took him to Patrolman
Mozart. The latter took him to the
police station and booked him on a
charge of petty larceny.

TO BURN
STORE FRUSTRATED
Waiter Discovers Flames Darling from
Pile of Boxes Which Conceal
Six.GalIon keg of
Gasoline

An attempt by incendiaries to burn
the grocery store and meat market of
Harry Kirkorion, S32 East Fifth street,
was discovered early yesterday morn
ing by Sam Tickish, a waiter, who
forced an entrance through the front
doors and eXtinguished the flames be-
fore they had gained much Roadway.
TickiSh was returning home shortly
before o'clock yesterday morning. In
passing the store he noticed a bright
light in the place. and on closer inves-
tigation saw flames darting from a pile
of boxes in the center of the floor.
Without hesitation he threw himself
against the front door and broke the
lock. The blaze was beginning to
spread, but after scattering the burn
ing boards he obtained several sacks
and beat out the fire.
After eXtinguishing the fire Tickish
made an investigation and found u
siX-gallon key of gasoline had been
placed under the boxes, which bore
evidence of having been saturated with
oil. But for Tickish's prompt arrival
the flames would have reached the Keg
of gasoline and caused an explosion.
which probably would have scattered
the fire and destroyed the store.
Further investigation revealed tho
fact that a rear door had been forced
open and was standing ajar.
The matter was reported to the police
and officers are working on the case.
The fire is believed to have been start
ed by some person or persons having
a grudge against the proprietor of the
store.

ALLEGED ASSOCIATES or
PICKPOCKETS SENTENCED
Two Men Supposed to Have Operated
at Laguna Dam Agree to
Leave City

George Wainwright and J. Ward.
who were arrested by detectives as
they stepped from a Southern Pacific
train several days ago on suspicion of
being members of gang of pickpock
cts which preyed on the crowds at the
Laguna dam opening at Yuma March
81, pleaded guilty to charges of va
grancy and were given suspended SEN
fences of 1870 days in the workhouse by
Police Justice Rose yesterday morning
and ordered to leave the city.
Ward and Wainwright were arrested
with Charles Murphy and Charles
Wade. The four men are thought to
have composed the gang that took
valuables from a number of persons at
the Arizona city. Because of lack of
evidence the police could not connect
them directly with any of the thefts
from person and a charge of vagrancy
was all that could be placed against
the men.
Murphy and Wade pleaded guilty to
similar charges several days ago and
were given six months suspended sem
fences. They seemed eager to have the
opportunity to leave Los Angeles and
promised to make a hurried departure.

SELECTIONS BY
MAYOR ENDORSED
COUNCIL APPROVES OF NEW
COMMISSIONERS
NEW MAN SUBSTITUTED ON THE
PARK BOARD
Two Nominations for Health Officials
Made and confirmed-others
to Be Appointed at an
Early Date

All the new commissioners appointed
by Mayor Alexander were confirmed by
the council by unanimous vote yester-
day morning. The fact that the motion
for confirmation was made by Council
man Lyon quickly put quietus on the
rumors that the mayors NOMINATIONS
would be opposed by certain members
Of the council. All the members seemed
satisfied with the men the mayor had
named, or, if they were not, they were
none the less hearty in voting aye on
the confirmation. Councilman wallace
was the only one to make any comment,
and he declared that the mayor had
chosen excellent material for his otflclal
advisers, and that such men We're
guarantee of good administration.
The list was practically the same as
the one announced by the mayor Mon
day night. On the police commission
are S. C. Graham, D. K. Trask, j. j.
Andrews and John Topham. On the
fire commission are Martin Betkouskl,
Richard Molony, Ben c. Robinson and
r. B. Williamson. On the park COM
mission are Stoddard Jess, Richmond
Plant, Jesse F. Waterman and c. II.
Randall
Mr.. Randalrs name was substituted
yesterday morning for that OF Dr. w.
A. Lamb. The mayor had chosen DR..
Lamb as a member OF his park COM
mission because he had held the same
position under Mayor McAleer and was
familiar with the work of that depart
ment. But DIR. Lamb has been MEM
Der of the playground commission sew
eral years, and preferred to stay with
that body. Mayor Alexander respected
DR.. Lambs wishes and retained him in
his present position.
All the members of the playground
commission were reappointed except
Fernand Parmentier, whose term has
expired. In his place E. r. Allen was
chosen. Allen was formerly billboard
inspector for the city, and gained fame
by having his own position abolished,
because under the terms of a recent
ordinance passed by the council and
affecting billboards, he had little. or
nothing to do. MIR. Allen rendered yoe-
man service during the recall campaign.
The playground commission is now
composed of the following: Mrs. Will
loughby Rodman, Miss Bessie Stod-
dard Dr. w. A. Lamb. James G. Scar
borough and E. r. Allen.
Two members were named and con-
firmed for the health board. They are
DR.. Sherwin Gibbons and Prof. L. j.
Stabler. These two take the places of
Drs. Moore and Dickson of Mayor Har-
per's board, who have resigned. Dr.
Seymour and w. N. Newell are re-
tanned, for the present at least. In
speaking of future appointments on the
board of health the mavor said he
would wait a week or two before TAX
ing any definite action.

will being action against the Sunset
and the Home Telephone companies, if
they do not comply with the city ordi-
nance, providing that telephone COM
panies must pay a license of $50 a
month for each exchange. He notified

eral exchanges, which are scattered
about the city, and are only paying
license on one" said Mr.. Eddie yester-
day. I'm addition to this the Sunset
company is conducting a telegraph
business and is paying no license for
the privilege. The ordinance provides
a license of 800 a month for this bust
ness, and we have made demands on
the Sunset people for this amount"
Each telephone company is said to
operate seven exchanges.

SAYS Life WAS
I, MENACED TWICE
GIRL ACCUSES LABoRER OF
TRYING TO KILL HER
DECLARES HE DREW REVOLVER
AND POISONED WATER
Aqueduct Worker Charged with
Breaking Into Room and Making
Desperate Attempts to
Commit Murder

Martin Kimmich, an aqueduct Ia
borer, has been arrested and is in the
city jail. He is accused or having at
tempted to take the life of Myrtle
Miles of 239 East Fifth street, with
whom he had been on friendly terms,
first by menacing her with revolver
and later by placing some crystals of
| cyanide of potassium in a glass of
water. OF this the young woman,
fortunately, merely tasted a small
quantity.
Kimmich has been working on the
aqueduct for the last year. Several
days ago he returned to this city and
sought the young woman, whom he
had known for some time. He obtained
her address, and while considerably
under the influence of liquor, entered
the room she occupied. She was in bed
at the time and Kinmich demanded
that she get up, leave the place and
come and live with him. She refused
to do so and he began to threaten her.
Finally, in an effort to pacify'him, she
said she would get up, dress and talk
to him If he would leave the room
for a short time. He did so and on
his return renewed his demands. When
met with a fiat refusal he drew a re-
volver and threatened to kill her.
The woman struggled with him, but,
finding she was unable to disarm him,
changed her tactics and persuaded him
to give up the weapon. She then hid
the revolver and Kimmich, finding he
was unable to persuade the woman to
go with him, is alleged to have dropped
the poison in a glass of water. He
then left the place.
Before retiring the woman took a
drink from the glass, but finding it to
have a bitter taste, did not swallow it.
She then notified Patrolman e. l..
Jones of what had happened and he
arrested Kimmich at his room.
The accused declared he was drunk
at the time he was in the woman's
room, and says he has no recollection
of what happened He was arraigned
in Police Justice Chambers court on
charge of disturbing the peace and
will appear today to have his trial
bail and was sent to iail.

feast or potlatch will be served.
1t is also proposed to take the visit
ing redskins through an orange grove

trees, they having expressed strong
desire so to do. A surf bath is another
thing they crave, as they never have
seen the great waters" YETI and this
event will be the dog feast at the viii
lage, which will be held the last of this
week, for then they can fraternize with
the Navajos resident there.

Round Trip to Los Angeles VIII Mean
Only Loss of One Business
Day

Arrangements for better train SER
vice to the Imperial valley will go

WOMEN'S PETITION OF
PROTEST SENT EAST
Fifteen Hundred Signatures Obtained
in One and One-HaIf Days at
Broadway Department
Store

In one and one-half days at the
Broadway department store 1900 women
signed the petition protesting against
the increased tariff on imported hosiery
and gloves, as provided in the Payne

Senator Flint by Arthur Let's, proprie-
tor of the store, and the following tele-
gram was sent ahead of it:
Senator Flint, Washington, D. c.
Mailing petition signed by 1900 women
of Los Angeles, secured in one day and
a half strongly protesting against any
change in present tariff on gloves and
hosiery. Had there been time, five
times the signatures could have been
secured.
Feeling is very strong. Exert every
effort to defeat this change in tariff.

PENNY LUNCHES AT
ANN STREET SCHOOL
PROVE BIG SUCCESS
SCORES OF CHILDREN ENJOY
GOOD MEAL DAILY
Those Who Cannot Bring the Price
Furnished with Tickets-Aver-
age of Work Shows Much
Improvement

Ding dong!"
1t is noon at the Ann street school,
a rush of hurrying feet, and 100 little
| noses eagerly sniff the savory odor ris-
I ing from 120 bowls of soup.
And, oh, 1T Is such good soup and
feels SO comfy" in the small 'tum-
mies
y Pathetic to watch, but inexpressibly
delightful to participate in, the penny
luncheon has come to be an impor-
tant factor in the daily routine of the
Ann street school, and which, it is
hoped. has come to stay.
Armed with contributions from mer-
chants and private citizens, the local
Civic association has taken up this
good work, which was begun in the
east, of serving penny luncheons to lit
tie children who come to school, either
without any breakfast or with not
enough to nourish them properly. The
association is starting with the Ann
street school, where the pupils are of
Mexican or foreign parentage, and
where the need of this work is most
sorely felt.
One of the schoolrooms makes an ad-
mirable dining room and four long
oilcloth covered tables are placed with
benches down each side.
Promptly at IL :45 a. m. everything is
in readiness for the eager rush of
hungry children who can hardly wait
for the hour to arrive.
Big white bowls with blue rims are
filled with thick, delicious soup, and
there are two big cold buns at each
place, with the necessary spoons and
usually some kind of fruit, which. all
together, make meal fit for king.
Staff Most Competent
The work is under the personal SUI
NJ ahn f r.
man of the committee in charge. and
She and her staff of helpers are filing
their office admirably.
Children who cannot bring even the
one penny required are furnished with
tickets, and the sweetest lessons in I'M
selfishness and generosity are taught
by these little people. When, per-
chance, a midget has forgotten or lost
his or her ticket some other child near
by pays, that the treat may not be
missed.
The work, though started but a short
time ago, is already showing remarka-
BILE results; half-starvea bodies are re-
spending to the kind treatment and
the average of work in the school is
improving proportionately.
There are several more schools in
Los Angeles where the penny lunch
cons would do great good and if some
cl4aritably minded person has a few
hundred dollars burning holes in his
pocket he cannot put it to a better
use than by contributing toward this
good work

CHICAGO, April 6.-Prof Clarence
d. Lane, assistant chief of the dairy
division of the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, has made a sug-
gestion to the city club that the mayor
