PERSISTENT RUSSIAN GIRL
Is AT LAST ADMITTED HERE
Nathalie Bronokoway, Refused Per-
mission Because of Poverty, Re-
turns and Is Passed

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Nathane
Bronokoway, a young woman student
of Russia, who is ambitious to COM
plete her education in America, was
a passenger on the Russian-American
liner Estonia, which arrived from
Libau a month ago. She had only
little money and was turned back.
She came again last Tuesday as a
second cabin passenger in the Birma,
equipped with letters of introduction
to educators and Russian friends, and
money enough to last her for some
time.
She had short hair and this made the
Ellis island physician who saw her on
the BirTna order her to Ellis island.
She said that short hair did not indi-
cate anarchistlc or revolutionary ten
denotes, but was characteristic of
many woman students in Russia, and
that it was also looked upon as more
sanitary than long hair.
She was permitted to land and took
a train for Chicago.

GARBAGE ORDINANCE
DRAFTS PRESENTED
VEXED QUESTION REACHES
ANOTHER STAGE
Inspector Humphreys Faces Serious
Problem of Disposition of Waste
Not Only In Los Angeles
but San Pedro

After many long, weary delays, which
probably will be added to by other long,
weary delays the drafts of new garbage
ordinances were presented to the board
of public works by Assistant City At
torney John Shenk yesterday afternoon.
They were Immediately referred to
Chief Inspector Humphreys, who has
charge of garbage matters, and it was
with a sigh of intense relief that Mr.
Humphreys received them. The chief
inspector has dreamed of garbage day
and night ever since he has been on
the board of public works. and he took
the ordinance home with him last night
to place under his pillow.
Mr.. Shenk called the attention of the
board to the fact that the Wilmington
and San Pedro garbage would have to
come under the direction of the board
and be taken care of in the same way
that the garbage of Los Angeles is
handled. He said that less stringent
specifications might be adopted for the
portion of the city south of Manchester
avenue.
Mr.. Humphreys said yesterday the
garbage question was daily becoming
more serious. The hog men, who have
preceded the regular garbage collec-
tors every morning, are not collecting
as much as they did. The hog raisers
are selling off their stock in anticipa-
tlon of going out of business altogether
as soon as a new garbage contract is
let, and the burden is increasing on the
city garbage collectors.

is GIVEN TO GUARDIAN

Estate, Is Declared to Be Un-
manageable by Family

Judge Wilbur of the juvenile court
disposed of the case of Susanna Bo-
tilier by deciding the young woman Is
a dependent child. She will be placed

later by Frank NJ. Kelsey, guardian of
her estate.
Miss Botilier, who is IS years old, is
one of three sisters, heirs to an estate
valued at about $15O,O0O left by her
father. Following her fathers death
she was placed in the care of Mrs. j.
]. McGivern, who a few weeks ago
complained to the Juvenile court that
the girl was incorrigible. and she was
sent to the detention home pending an
investigation.
Several hearings have since been
held, all of which were marked by dis
sensions between the McGiverns and
relatives of Miss Botilier, the latter
claiming the McGiverns were trying to
get possession of the young woman's
share of her fathers property. A
lengthy written opinion in the case is
now being prepared by Judge Wilbur.

DRUGGISTS END
ANNUAL MEETING
FINAL SESSION ENLVENED BY
DISCUSSION
Formal Conclusion of Convention Is
Followed by Social Events and
Beach Outing Members
Plan Journey Homo

Many interesting papers on various
phases of the drug industry were read
and discussed at the final session OF
the American Pharmaceutical associa-
ton, held in Blanchard hall yester-
day.
e. V. Howell of North Carolina pre-
sented a paper written TO show that
the growing of poppies primarily Tor
opium in this country may be carried
on with profit in the near future by the
development Of by-products in the
shape of poppy oil and paper produced
from the stalks. Heretofore, though
several attempts have been made TO
establish the industry in this country,
failure resulted from the imposstbility
of obtaining labor to gather the opium,
as the process has to be performed py
hand.
California, according to Albert
Schneider of San Francisco, offers
ideal conditions for the production OF
belladona, a drug extensively used In
making plasters.
In the late afternoon and evening
the visitors were entertained at gar
den party given by L. N. Brunswig at
his home 2640 West Adams street.
More than 300 persons gathered there.
Many Of the visiting druggists spent
the evening in Venice and ocean Park'
where the gathering of the delegates
and their friends was made the occa-
sion of special festivities.
A Pullman car designated the
"druggists' special" will be attached to
the Southern Pacific train, leaving the
Arcade depot at s o'clock Sunday
morning for San Francisco, and berths
can be reserved for delegates by appll-
cation at 600 South Spring street; Dele
Gates going to Yosemite will take the
Southern Pacific train at 1870 this
morning.

COMPROMISE BREAKS
DEADLOCK IN BOARD
QUESTION OF REQUIRING FIRE
WALLS ARISES
Failure Of Laundry Company to Com
ply with Inspectors Instructions
Causes Appearance Before
Commission

A commission of three members with
three different ideas about the dispo-
sition of a question makes a complica-
ton that is hard to arrange. This was
the situation in the board Of public
works yesterday afternoon. Commits
sioner Chaffee voted AYE" Commis-
sioner Humphreys voted mo" and Com
missioner Hubbard voted to have the
matter taken under consideration for a
few days. AS Commissioner Hubbard is
president Of the board, and as his sug-
gestion presented a compromise both
Chaffee and Humphreys could accept,
the matter was taken under advise
ment.
1t was a question of fire walls in a
building erected by the Diamond Laun-
dry company and an extension Of time
for building the walls. March 25 Build
ing Inspector Backus notified the Dia-
mond Laundry company to place fire
walls in a building it had under con-
struction, in compliance with the city
ordinances. The laundry officers readily
said they would be glad to do it. The
walls were not built.
A second time the building inspector
notified them to construct their fire
walls. They graciously apologized for
having caused the building inspector so
much trouble, and said they most GER
tafnly would build the fire walls he
suggested, not because they were nee
essary, but just because they wanted
to oblige the building inspector.
Still the walls were not built. Had
they refused to build the walls the in
spector would have had them arrested
and thus have forced the construction
of the walls, but he found himself un-
able to have such nice, polite people
arrested when they were so ready to
do everything he suggested.
But the third time Mr.. Backus pre-
sented the matter to the board of pub
lie works, and the board cited the laun-
dry people to appear before it. Yes
terday an attorney representing the
laundry company asked an extension of
time in which to build the walls. He
said the sale of the property was un-
der consideration, and if it was sold it
would not be occupied by the laundry.
It was on this extension of time that
the board was divided.

PHILIPPINE DELEGATION
TO ASK new LEGISLATION
Want Homestead Law Amended and
Citizenship for Filipinos Absent
When Sovereignty Changed.

Benito Legarda and Manuel l.. Quezon,
the two Philippine delegates to Congress.
have just arrived in Washington for the
remainder of the session. Senior QueZon
comes to congress as the successor OF L.
Ocampo.
The delegates have been instructed by
the Philippines legislature to try to get
favorable consideration by congress at
the present session of number Of sub
jects.
One Is an amendment Of the act OF
congress regarding homesteads.
The aot limits the portion of the public
domain that may be sold to any indi-
vidual to sixteen hectares. or abaut forty
acres. The Philippines legislature has
Instructed the delegates to urge the ex-
tension OF the limitation to fifty hectares
The recent decision of Attorney General
wickersham to the effect that there Is
no limitation on the amount Of the
..Friar lands that may be sold to any
individual does not affect In any way
the disposition OF the lands the title to
which was obtained by the United States
by treaty with Spain and which are now
referred to as the public domain"
It will be argued by the delegates in
support of the amendment that sixteen
hectares liz not sufficient land on which
a settler can maintain a family. Par
ticularly is ii too small for the profitable
raising of sugar, II Is said.
The delegates will ask congress to pass
an act extending citizenship of the Phil
ippine islands to those Filiptnos who
happsned to be absent from the Philip
ninss at the time OF the assumption of
American control over the islands.
