OBSCENE REMARKS
Angry Persons Tell Deputy District
Attorney That ]. L. Leavitt
Abused and InsuIted Cigar
cite Smoker

A number of angry persons visited
the office of Deputy District Attorney
Alexander yesterday morning and
asked that a complaint be issued
against ]. L. Leavitt, proprietor of
confectionery store on Second street,
near Broadway and a member Of the
Christian Catholic Apostolic Church Of
Zion, charging him with disturbing the
peace.
According to their story to the deputy
district attorney. Leavitt breaches at
Second and Los Angeles streets when
the opportunity offers and tries to OBJ
tain converts to the Church of Zion.
Sunday morning, they declare, Leavitt
was preaching to a large crowd which
had Assem- bled, when he saw man in
the audience smoking a cigarette.
Then, they assert, Leavitt stopped his
discourse on religion and pointing to
the man declared the latter would never
enter the kingdom of heaven and that
there was no chance of redemption for
a person who smokes the vile weed.
Leavitt is said to have used obscene re-
marks and to have become insulting.
Several women who were passing at the
time are said to have covered their ears
and fled.
After hearing their story Alexander
requested the compliments to remain
and sent a patrolman after Leavitt.
When the latter appeared the witnesses
against him had gone and the COM
plant was not issued. Later the COM
claimants reappeared and insisted on
having a complaint issued. This was
denied and the matter was referred to
the police for investigation.

d. L. De Meyers, chauffeur for Cor
ney w. Pendleton, collector of customs
for the port of San Pedro, pleaded
guilty in Police Justice Frederickson's
court yesterday to a charge of driving
his automobile on South Main street
faster than the limit provided by city
ordinance and was fined $25.
De Meyers was arrested on complaint
of persons living on South Main street,
who reported to the police that the
automobile was being driven at rate
of speed estimated between sixty and
seventy miles an hour Sunday after
noon.
De Meyers admitted he was exceeding
the speed limit, but declared he was
only going thirty to thirty-five miles
an hour. He stated he was trying to
adjust the machine at $3.50 o'clock so he
could call for his employer at 4 o'clock
at the Chutes park, where, he said
Pendleton was attending ball game
why didn't you go out in the coun-
try to test the machine?" asked Justice
Fraederickson.
II didn't have the time" replied the
chauffeur 1T was $780, o'clock then
and l had to call at the ball grounds
for Mr.. Pendleton at 4 O'clock"
De Meyers paid $40 of his fine with
the money furnished by his employer
and promised to return and pay the
balance.

WILL BE NECESSARY TO
ANNEX ALL ARROYO SEC0
Los Angeles, Pasadena and South Pas
adeha Must Combine Action
to Make Park

Temporarily halt has been called
in the movement to improve the Ar
royo Seco and a new procedure will
probably be decided upon. 1t has been
found to be necessary to annex all OF
both sides of the arroyo before 1t can
be converted into one large and beau
tiful park.
1t is said that steps will be taken soon
by the Municipal Art commission, the
Arroyo Seco Park association and va
rious improvement clubs of East Los
Angeles, Garvanza and Highland to
bring about annexation elections to
solve the problem presented. The civic
bodies of Pasadena will also take the
matter up.
A law passed by the last legislature
relating to the powers of cities to create
parks win give the necessary authority
1t is probable that the arroyo in its
entirety will be brought into the cities
of Los Angeles, Pasadena and South
Pasadena in order that the park scheme
may be carried out

lombard AUTOISTS
WITH BUNDLES OF HAY
District Attorney Asked to Issue
Complaints Against Crowd
of Merrymakers

The playful antics of a party of hay
riders did not appeal to w. S. Morse
of 329 South Broadway and Thomas
Morehouse of 314 East Third street, and
they called at the police station yes
terday and asked Deputy District At
torney Alexander to issue complaints
against Emil and George Kursinski and
Carl Lambert.
According to their story, Alexander,
Morse and Morehouse, accompanied by
their wives, were taking an auto ride
in Mission road Sunday when they met
the hay riders coming into town. The
latter bombarded the autoists with bum
dies of hay, which the latter say must
have been prepared for just such pur-
poses, and as a result of the volley the
hat worn by one of the women in the
auto was knocked from her head, and
it's trimming of cherries. grapes. roses
and other articles was considerably
damaged.
The angry autoists then followed the
jolly crowd a short distance and OBJ
tanned the names of three of the party.
A patrolman was detailed to make
Investigations, but owing to the inabil-
ity of the autoists to identify the per-
sons who threw the hay no complaints
were issued.

Charge Changed to
Suspicion

The possession of several valuable
diamond rings, after having passed
several nights in the city Jail, which
were discovered when he passed one of
the jewels to Wallace Weideman In
Police Justice Frederickson's court
yesterday afternoon, probably will re-
suit in a more serious charge being
placed against Hannibal Spencer, alias
Cannon Ball." a negro who was ar
raigned in police court yesterday after
noon on q charge of vagrancy A
further search of Spencer when he was
taken back to Jail in default of $lOO
bail resulted in the finding Of dia-
mond stud and a ring set with two
diamonds in a bag about his neck, and
three diamond cluster rings in the lin
ing of one of his shoes.
Spencer, his wife, Emma Spencer,
Arthur Parrish and Frank Fletcher We're
arrested by Patrolmen Glenn and Stew
ems Saturday and booked at the CEN
trail police station on a charge of va
grancy. They were unable to furnish
the necessary bail and were locked up
In the city jail.
Yesterday afternoon Spencer and the
woman were arraigned in Police JUS
tice Frederickson's court. They plead
ed mot guilty and their bail was fixed
at 800 each. Spencer then called to
Weideman, who represents him, and
producing a small bag, which was hung
about his neck, brought forth a dia-
mond ring and asked Weideman to
pawn the article to get enough money
to bail him out.
JeweIry Valued at $500
Weideman called the attention of
Bailiff Rosso to the matter and to the
fact that the accused had other jewelry
on his person. Weideman then left
the court room and when Rosso took
the prisoners back to Jail notified the
jailers and they found the articles In
the small bag.
A further search was made by Pa
trolmen Glenn and Stevens and the
three other rings were found in the
lining of Spencer's shoe. After search
ing Spencer the officers made a thor
ough search of the other men who
were arrested with Spencer but found
nothing
A search of the room occupied by
Spencer resulted in the finding of q
horseshoe pin from which fifteen small
diamonds had been removed. The ar
resting officers said the pin has been
identified by a person who says 1t was
stolen from him.
The total value of the jewelry re-
covered from Spencer is estimated at
$500.
Weideman returned later to bail our
Spencer, but was informed the charge
against the accused had been changed
to suspicion and he could not be re-
leased on bail. The police are investi-
eating the case and say the accused
probably will be connected with q
burglary.
