S. 2. SUES ITS OWN
AUXILIARY CONCERNS
Brings Suit to Recover $4,000, Part
of Loan Made to Two of Its
Subsidiary Land Com-
panles

Suit for the recovery of $4,000 on a
loan was filed yesterday by the South
ern Pacific company against the Impe-
rial Land company and the California
Development company in the superior
court.
The loan, the principal of which is
100000, was made in June, 1905. and
was secured by stock in the Develop
ment company The agreement called
for repayment in installments. the third
of which, $4,000, became due March 1,
and this, with two other installments
unpaid, make up the amount for which
suit is brought.
AS both defendant companies prac-
ticalIy are. controlled by the Southern
Pacific, the suit, 1t is believed, has for
it's purpose the determination of the
liability of the individual stockholders
in the land and development concerns.

CITY COUNCIL FORCED TO
POSTPONE MUCH BUSINESS

Because of the vastly more impor-
tant matters before it yesterday, the
council postponed for one week the
hearing on the telephone companies
cases. The matter of fixing the rates
for phones for next year will come be-
fore the council at 10 o'clock next Fri
day morning.
situation also has made it necessary to
postpone the hearing on the electric
light and gas companies, scheduled for
this morning. AS the city has no may
or, the council cannot act, for there is
no head to approve its actions. For
this reason it will meet today and adj
journ the hearing.

RESIDENTS OF WATTS
SAY THEY OR PETRIE
WOMAN MUST MOVE
SUBURBAN DWELLERS CLAIM
THEY FEAR NElGHB0R
Declare DeIuded Person is dangerous,
but Lunaoy Commission, After
Examination, Releases Her
from Custody

A general exodus of citizens from
Watts is about to take place, II the eX-
pressed determinations of score or
more householders are carried out. I'VE
move or Mrs. Petrie moyes,- that's our
ultimatum," one woman told G. G.. Nc
Comas, assistant district attorney yes
terday.
Mrs. Petrie was released by the lun-
acy commission yesterday. Witnesses
testified she was dangerous and they
feared sanguinary results IL she was
allowed her freedom.
According to her own story, Mrs. Pc
trie has only one delusion. She said
she had been warned in a vision to be-
ware of the Vaccinations of an enemy.
The vision, in the form of a rattle
snake, bore striking resemblance to a
woman living in nearby cottage. The
rest of her troubles she laid at the door
of neighbors, both male and female.
These persons were present In force
when Judge James and the medical
members of the commission began the
examination.
Mrs. A. Fountain denied her chickens
had scratched the paint off the Petrie
fence, an accusation made against the
fowls by Mrs. Petrie. When Mrs.
Fountain tried to protect her poultry
slapped her face.
'I followed the scriptural injunction
and turned the other cheek" she said.
Mrs. Petrie looked doubtful. "Then she
slapped me on that cheek" added the
witness, and Mrs. Petrie laughed.
Judge James continued the case three
weeks, instructing the accused woman
not again to disturb the peace of the
neighborhood.
A large number of persons called on
Mr.. McComas and demanded warrants
for Mrs. Petrie's arrest.
''She will move or we WILL" said the
spokeswoman. ''If she is not restrained
there is not the least doubt we all will
be killed."
Mr.. McComas decided the woman was
still under the orders of Judge James
and declined to take any action.

er Of the building.
The flames started in the office of
william Bosbyshell, manager of the
motor company, and spread rapidly
before the firemen arrived.
Gasoline and kerosene made the
work of fire fighting dangerous and
the police drove the crowd far away
from the building to prevent accidents
in case of an explosion.
In the building were stored carriages
and automobiles, but the damage to
contents was confined chiefly to the
latter. How the fire originated is not
known.
