MANUFACTURER THREATENS
TO TEST CITY GASOLINE LAW
A. o. Perkins, Who Has Been Refused
Permit for Cheap Power, Tires of
Weekly Tie Vote of Commission

Tired of the weekly tie vote in the
fire commission on his applications for
permission for gasoline engines, A. d.
Perkins yesterday declared he would
install the engines anyhow, without
the consent of the board and test the
ordinance giving the commission au-
thority to grant or deny such permits
Ida H. Olsen, 41S East Thirty-second
street, wept copiously when pleading
with the board to deny the permits
She said she was afraid Of gasoline
and knew. it would blow up and do
some great damage to her home. The
insurance on her home would be
raised. she declared. Perkins has fac
tory for making automobile wind
shields, and his place is located next
door to Mrs Olsen's house. Mrs. OIL
sen has been the one obstacle to the
board granting the permit for the gaso-
line engines. Commissioner Schwamm
has declared he would not vote to
grant the permit until Perkins had
secured the consent of Mrs. Olsen.
The mayor did not attend the meet
ing Of the commission yesterday, and
when the question of granting the per-
nit came up Commissioners McGarry
and Kolff voted it be granted and Com
missioners Schwamm and Larronde
voted against it,
The denial of the permit will not
interfere with the running of the fac
tory. Perkins has already installed
electrical motors and uses electricity for
his power, but he wants the gasoline
engines because gasoline is much
cheaper than electricity. Yesterday
was the eighth time this matter has
been before the commission, and the
fact that tie vote was cast leaves the
matter still open.

CEMENT MILL STARTS
GRINDING MATERIAL
Municipal Plant in Operation After
Long DeIay-San Francisco Firm
of Experts Wants to Pur-
chase Machinery

Word was received by the aqueduct
board that grinding of cement in the
new cement mill four miles east of Te-
hachapi was begun yesterday and the
board of public works was highly elated
at the intelligence.
This mill is owned and operated by
the city, and experts who have exam
ined it have declared it the best and
most completely equipped factory of
its kind in the world. This opinion
was expressed by the expert who in
vestigated the Owens river aqueduct
for KountZe Brothers, who, with A. 3.
Leach & Co., purchased the entire
issue, of aqueduct bonds
While the board was shaking hands
with itself on the starting of the mill
it received a rude jolt. A firm of ce-
ment experts in San Francisco wrote
the board that it understood the board
was not pleased with the experiment
Of making its own cement, and wanted
to sell the cement mill machinery at a
reduced price. They were willing to
buy the machinery, they stated, if they
could get it cheap enough. The ma
chinery is not for sale, and will not
be until the aqueduct is completed.

MAYOR ASKED
TO FLY AWAY
INVITED TO MAKE ASCENSION
IN BALLOON
DICK FERRIS ARRANGING FOR
PASSENGER TRIPS
Weather Observer Fuller and Captain
Amos Fries Have Accepted
Invitations to Visit
the Moon

Mayor Harper has been invited to go
up in the air-not politically, but lit
orally. Dick Ferris, who as general
manager of the California Aeronautic
society, is arranging a number of bal
loon ascensions with his famous Unit
ed States and American, and has invited
the mayor to be one of the passengers
on the double ascension from the
Chutes balloon grounds next Sunday
afternoon.
1t is strictly an invitation affair, be-
ing the first formal ascension in Los
Angeles this year, and representatives
Of the city, the weather bureau and
the war department have been offered
reservations. Weather Observer Fuller
has accepted, although he said yester-
day that too high weather has a ten
dency to make him seasick, and Capt.
Fries of the corps of engineers has re-
sponded. If unable to go himself he
will designate a representative.
The United States was taken out of
the shed yesterday and 'laid OUT by
Captain Mueller. The valve was fitted
and net laid over the envelope, and by
noon today it will be half inflated.
Mueller and Knabenshue, who will pi-
lot the balloons, were jubilant yester-
day at the prospect of fair weather.
They will endeavor to make a start by
2 o'clock, to allow as pleasant trip as
possible. Both balloons will be inflated
by Saturday night.
Knabenshue After Prize
Roy Knabenshue yesterday received
the conditions attached to the New
York Worlds offer of a $4,000 cash
prize to the aviator who first makes
the trip over the course of the first
steamboat sent by Fulton from New
York to Albany. He says the course
is a feasible one, and will attempt to
win the prize. He has not decided
whether or not the feat can be accom-
plished with his present dirigible, but
if he decides that a new ship is neces-
sary he will construct it in Los Ange-
les and ship it to New York.
The course is UP the Hudson 142
miles, and .F<rabenshue says his expe-
rience in the past year has demonstrate
ed that his dirigible can cover it. Ac-
cording to the rules of the competition
this must be done in September or Oc-
tober of the present year, and Knaben-
shue will probably postpone a trip
abroad he had in contemplation in or
der to make a trial for the prize.
ST regard it as a flight with historical
possibilities he said yesterday. 1.-THE
Worlds announcement says by way of
introduction: Ten thousand dollars to
the man that duplicates in the air the
trip of Robert Fulton's first steam
boat.' The man who will do this will
have to his credit an aerial feat that
will he classed with Fulton's, and for
that reason alone it is worth striving
for. 1 think that I can accomplish it,
and I hope to bring the $4,000 back to
Los Angeles next winter. If necessary
I shall certainly build a new ship, but
I believe my present dirigible can do
the trick

FIRE COMMISSION IGNORES
DEMANDS OF BIG MAJORITY
Grants Permit to Creamery in Spite of
Protest of Property Owners Who
Fear Increased Insurance

Ignoring it's usual policy of granting
the demands of the majority and in
the face of a unanimous protest, the
fire commission yesterday voted to
give a permit for gasoline engine to
the Southern California Dairy asso-
citation, 1896 Victoria street.
The protestantS were all owners Of
small pieces of property, and they
represented their property would be de-
preciated in value, their insurance rates
raised and their incomes from rents be
lowered if the permit was granted.
The board took the position that a
factory would enhance the value of the
property, and granted the permit.
