VANDALS INVADE CHURCH
AND INJURE BUILDING
New Rector of ST. Marks E Episcopal
Church Finds Doors Smashed
and interior Wrecked, but
Nothing Taken

Vandals entered St. Marks Episco-
pal church at Seventh and Towne ave-
nue., late Saturday night, smashed sew
eral doors and ransacked and wrecked
portions of the interior. Everything
was in chaos when the building was
opened for services Sunday morning.
Although almost every cupboard
locker and chest in the rooms had
been opened, and the contents, consist
ing of vestments, silver plate and other
church property, strewn on the floor,
nothing seems to have been taken.
Rev. Robert ReniSon, the new rector,
had three trunks in the club room.
They had been broken and the con-
tents scattered about the building.
A number of rifles, used by the boys
brigade, are kept in the club room.
Two bayonets were taken from these
and used TO pry open the lockers,
chests and trunks.
The poor box in the lobby was
smashed open, but it is not known
whether it contained anything of
value.
The dissertation is supposed to
have been the work of a gang of young
rowdies.

CITY ENGINEER SAYS
he CAN SAVE MONEY
WANTS FUNDS FROM WHICH
TO PAY MINOR BILLS
Declares Alterations in Public Work
Can BE Made at Much Less
Expense if Paid
Promptly

In order to make a change in the red
tape system used in municipal affairs
which costs a great deal of money in
the course of a year. the board of pub
lie works will ask the council today to
appropriate $500 to the city engineers
fund to be used in making minor
changes in improvements.
In nearly every street improvement it
is found necessary to make some slight
alterations during the progress of the
work, such as changing one end of a
culvert or replacing a portion of a curb
return. or some little thing that can
be done for a dollar or two if done by
the contractor at the time the work is
in progress.
Under the present system it is neces-
sary for the city engineer to report TO
the board of public works that some
such change must be made; the board
reports it to the council; the council,
when it sees fit, acts on it and refers it
back to the board of public works,
which in turn refers it to the city Ell
gineer. All this takes much unneces-
sary time on some occasions months,
and involves clerical work which en-
tails great expense.
The city engineer believes if he had
a small fund from which to draw for
this kind of work and to pay the con-
tractor promptly, it could be done for
a fraction Of the cost entailed under
the present system.
If the $500 is allowed, the city en-
gineer is certain it will save thousands
of dollars in the course Of &, year and
advance the progress of Improvements.

rant, went to the place he found the
doors closed and the occupants gone.

$4,000 ACRES SELL
AT ABOUT $4,000
BIG GRAIN RANCH PASSES TO
LOS ANGELES MAN
Haynes Holdings in Riverside County
to Be Subdivided Into Fifty and
One Hundred=Acre Tracts
for Market

Little by little the big ranches of
Southern California are passing into
new hands and later being subdivided
in small tracts and sold to suit the
purchasers.
Yesterday DR.. John, r. Haynes, the
millionaire physician of Los Angeles,
disposed of his 27O0-acre ranch near
Murrieta in Riverside county to Arthur
G. Mum of Los Angeles, consideration
said to be about 0,000.
The land adjoins the Murrieta hot
sulphur springs on the north and the
town of Murietta on the east. 1t has
been owned by DR.. Haynes for the
past fifteen years and used as a grain
ranch.
1t is the intention of the new owner
to cut this big acreage into fifty and
100-acre tracts and place on the mar
ket at prices that will look enticing
to the investor who wants to carve
out a home in the southland.
Wells will be put down and a big
pumping plant installed to supply
water to the entire 200 acres.
Mr.. Mum states also that it is his
intention of planting a couple hun
dred acres in eucalyptus trees.

ASSESSED SIS FOR
ANNOYING ACTRESSES
Young Man Complained Against by
Employees of Local Theater Tells
Peculiar Story in Ex-
tenuation

Charles Adams. "a years old, pleaded
guilty in Police Justice Austins court
yesterday afternoon to a charge of
disturbing the peace and was fined SIS.
Which was paid by the father of the
accused.
Adams was arrested on the COM
plants of several actresses at a local
theater which the young man is
charged with having frequented. There
he annoyed the young women by his
unwelcome attentions.
In eXtenuation Adams told a pc
culiar story. He is a resident of Holly
wood and came to California five years
ago from Canada. Before he left Win
nlpeS he was engaged to marry a
young woman, Miss Mary Powell. They
had lovers quarrel and parted Sew
eral days ago Adams saw q young
woman on the street. He thought it
was his former sweetheart and fol-
lowed her. The young woman entered
theater. Adams bought a ticket and
witnessed the performance. When
ever the woman appeared on the stage
he tried to attract her attention by
making signs to her. Finding his eff
forts of no avail he continued to haunt
the corridors of the theater and be-
gan to speak to the actresses, regard
less Of whether they resembled his
former sweetheart or not.
Inc girls patiently endured his ac-
lions until they became burdensome
and then complained to a special Of
ficer stationed at the place. When
Adams appeared again and began to
accost the actresses he was arrested
In court the young man declared he
thought the trouble must be because
of his poor eyesight. He made this
statement whep his father declared he
had seen the young woman (Who is
married) and said she bore not the
slightest resemblance to Miss Powell
Adams was examined by a hospital
surgeon, but no symptoms of insanity
were discovered.

BODY FOUND NEAR TUNNEL
THAT OF AQUt:DUCT WORKER
Sheriff HammeI investigates and
Learns Laborer Was Subject
to Violent Attacks of
Apoplexy

The body of the man found dead near
the tunnel at Elizabeth lake on the
Los Angeles aqueduct was identified
yesterday as that of Michael Kennedy,
a loborer employed at the north portal
of the tunnel.
From an investigation made by
Sheriff w. A. Hammel it was learned
that Kennedy's death was from natural
causes and that he had died of an at
tack of apoplexy.
Kennedy left the north portal on
Christmas day to go to a camp on
the lake to celebrate the day with a
number of friends. He was evidently
stricken while on his way and fell
where his body was afterward found.
In his pockets were found his let
ters, watch, a small sum of money
and his ordinary belongings. At his
room was found the sum of $115,
which he had saved.

SUPPLY OF CEMENT
MUST BE RENEWED
MILL FOR AQUEDUCT MATE
RIAL NOT READY
Only 5000 Barrels of Substance for
Concrete Remain-More Must
Be Purchased or Work
Delayed

In the report which the board of pub
lie works will make to the council to-
day it is explained why the cement
mill at Tehachapi has not yet been put
into operation. The principal cause for
delay is the failure of the contractor to
cover the machinery.
Present indications are the mill will
not be completed in time to furnish the
first output of seasoned cement before
February Is.
Prior to the active operations for the
construction Of the mill or other aque-
duct work requiring the use of cement,
the board of public works contracted
with the California Portland Cement
company of Cotton for 10000 barrels of
cement About 5000 barrels of this sup
ply remain unused, but recent con-
sumption being about 400 barrels a day
it is apparent the supply will be eX-
hausted about January 20. Unless an
additional quantity soon is secured it
will be necessary to disband the cor
crete forces, and this seriously will de-
lay the construction of the aqueduct.
The Cotton company has agreed to
furnish the city with 10000 barrels. OF
cement at $3.50 a barrel, which is 25
cents a barrel lower than the price paid
for the 80, 900 barrels, and the board has
asked authority of the council to pur-
chase this quantity.

CLAIMANTS NOT ENTITLED
TO DAMAGES is DECISION

The claim of 5000 against the city,
presented by H. B. Adams and Stanley
NJ. Mckee, for damages they allege
they sustained by reason of the cutting
down of Pecan street in front of their
lots, will be returned to the council
without the approval of the board of
public works.
The claimants obtained this property
September Is, 1906, but at that time
notices of the city's intention had been
posted and all the preliminary work,
preparatory for street Improvement,
mad been done. They had had legal
notice the work was to be done, and
because they did not protest at the time
they are not entitled to damages, says
the board of public works.

HUSBAND CHARGED WITH
BEATING WIFE CRUELTY
Unfortunate Woman Unwilling to Go
to County Hospital, Fearing
Dogs Would Suffer in
Her Absence

Mrs. Carrie Christ, "a years old. an
attractive bride of a little more than
a year, was taken to the receiving hos
pital yesterday, where the police sur
geons dressed a number of bruises,
decorations and abrasions on various
parts Of the woman's body. She de-
clares they were inflicted by her hus-
band, Joseph Christ, at their home,
72075 North Main street, Sunday after
noon.
81. Christ was arrested soon after and
is a prisoner in the city Jail. The UNI
fortunate woman could not be per-
suaded to seek medical treatment until
yesterday when she reluctantly ap-
peared at the receiving hospital. Her
reason for not wanting to leave her
home, she said, was that she has sew
eral small dogs and they would suffer
If she remained away from home any
length of time.
After her injuries were dressed Mrs.
Christ told her story to Deputy District
Attorney Keetch, and a complaint
charging Christ with battery was is
sued. According to her story, Mrs.
Christ was accused of improper con-
duct because she gave one of the dogs
to a policeman. The woman denied
the charge and said she was getting
rid of the animals because she could
not take proper care of them owing TO
her apartments being upstairs and
there being no room for the dogs. Her
husband refused to listen to her ex-
PLANTATION, she asserted, and finally be-
came so enraged that he knocked her
down and jumped on her, bruising her
painfully with his knees,
Several months ago the woman was
in bed and in delicate health. and it
is feared the rough treatment received
at the hands of her husband may re-
suit seriously.
AS soon as she is able to appear in
court the husband will be arraigned to
answer to the charge of wife-beatine.

fering from a knife wound in the alb
domen, will recover unless unforeseen

some trivial matter and soon all were
in mixup.
''I do not know who stabbed me-,
said Jensen, "but it seems as if a
dozen men were piled on top of me.
When 1 regained my senses L was in

cut Jensen. The latter says he has
known the two men for some time and
had had no previous trouble with them

GOES NORTH TO GET NEW
LIGHT ON ETTER'S DEATH
Attorney Wallace Hopes That Dwight
E. CIough May Be Induced to
Return Voluntarily from
Honduras

In an effort to clear up the mystery
surrounding the death of Jefferson d.
Etter, the Los Angeles mining engineer.
in Honduras several months ago, At
torney Miles Wallace has gone to San
Francisco. He has been working on
the case in Los Angeles.
Wallace and Etter's relatives are
seeking to bring about the return to
Honduras of Dwight E. Clough, a for
mer Los Angeles automobile agent, who
is said to have been the last man in
Etter's company prior to the latter S
death. Wallace thinks Clough could aid
in clearing up the mystery.
AS there is no eXtradition treaty be-
tween the United States and Honduras,
it will be impossible TO accomplish q
solution of the mystery unless Clough
consents to return voluntarily.

CITY HALL BUILDING BEGINS
TO SHOW EVIDENCE OF DECAY

AS an indication Of the gradual decay
into which the city hall building is fall
ing, the building inspector has called
the attention of the board of public
works to the condition of the main roof
it leaks like a sieve in rainy weather
and the offices situated in the attic be
come so wet it is nearly impossible to
work in them.
He has asked the roof be repaired
and estimates the cost of the work at
$3.50. The custodian has not sufficient
funds to meet this demand, and will
ask the council today to appropriate
the amount from the general tax fund.
