READY TO BEGIN
WORK ON ROADS
SPECIFICATIONS PRESENTED
TO SUPERVISORS
Preliminary Task of Surveying Ae-
compIished to a Large Extent
and Other Contracts to
Be Let Shortly

Actual work of construction on the
new and beautiful system of highways
provided for at the election last year,
when an issue of $3,500.000 good roads
bonds was authorized by the electors OF
the county, in all probability will be
begun by the first of the approaching
month. The first specifications, plans
and profiles, prepared by Chief En-
gineer Loder and his staff, were pre-
sented to the board of supervisors yes
terday These are in regard to work to
be done on the Ell Monte road, from
the easterly limits of Los Angeles city
to the westerly limits of Alhambra, a
distance Of 1883 feet. Bids for this
work will be advertised for imme-
diately, and 1T is expected contracts Will
be let March 29.
The work of the highway commission
since the first installment of the good
roads bonds was purchased by Rollins
& Sons of San Francisco in January
has been confined to surveying. A
great part of this. labor has been ac-
complished: 1t is believed plans for
road work in other parts of the county
will be prepared soon and that con-
tracts will be let with all possible dis
patch.
The cost of the work on the El Monte
road, provided for in yesterdays spec
ifications, is estimated at about $2o'ooo.

the greatest impartiality. Red, blue,
green, black and other colored cars
came in for their share of the stones,
and that some of the occupants of the
motor cars which whizzed by were not
injured by the flying missiles is due to
the poor aim of the aged man, whose
throwing arm and eyesight were not
as good as they We're years ago.
Not one of the crowd which blocked
the sidewalks raised hand to re-
strain the irate man from his peculiar
sport. and it was not until stone
struck the large touring car driven by
Young Sabichi that anything was done
to stop his attack on the offending
autos.
Sabichi was guiding his motor car
along Broadway. oblivious of threaten
ing danger. Suddenly he glanced
toward the sidewalk and saw a throng
had gathered. At the same time he
says he saw Jacobs reach his hand in
coat pocket, draw out large stone
and throw it in his direction. The
missile came straight toward Sabichis
head. He lodged and the stone struck
the back of the car. He stopped his
auto, grabbed the aged offender by the
arm and pulled him into the front
seat.

TO PUT BIBLES

u. S. C. WILL START SPECIAL
MISSION DEPARTMENT
CITY WILL BE DIVIDED INTO DIS
TRIBUTIoN SECTIONS
Methodist Ministers Heartily Applaud
Project Advocated by Or. 6ovard.
Stephens Appointment as
Mayor Is Welcomed

A home department of the Uni
versity of Southern California, for the
purpose of giving religious and Bible
instructions to children at their
homes. was started yesterday at the
meeting of the Methodist ministers.
Chaplain o. J. Nave, the instigator,
championed the cause.
The department is to be affiliated
with the University of Southern Cali
fornia and proposes to place within
all homes the means whereby mothers
may better instruct their children IN
the precepts of the Bible.
Chaplain Nave stated that ne had
been working on this proposition tor
long time and felt tnat inlrIleula t
action should be taken to place it in
working order. 1t was his desire that
the beginning should be made in Los
Angeles, his adopted home, and with
the University of Southern California,
and subsequently be extended TO other
outside colleges.
The plan is for one person to be the
general leader, and he is to divide the
working territory into sections. Each
of the pastors of those sections is then
to appoint a woman to visit the homes,
distribute religious literature and give
instructions to the mothers, which
they, in turn, will hand on to their
children.
DR.. G.. f. Bovard. president of the
University of Southern California, and
others spoke encouragingly of the
project, which was heartily adopted.
Chaplain Nave expressed a willingness
to devote to this work the funds re-
ceived from royalties received from
his religious works, as he has done
heretofore in the case of other religious
activities.
At the close of the meeting the an
nouncement that the city council had
appointed w. D. Stephens as tenn
porary mayor, made by Rev. J. w.
Shenk, caused much enthusiasm among
the ministers. Much confidence was
felt that George Alexander ultimately
would be elected to the office.

Jacobs, "but the law concerning auto
mobiles is not a good one. 1t is all right
to have a man arrested for running
over you, but you hardly ever get a
chance to do SO. They will run over
you and before you can get UP they
have disappeared down the street."
Were you ever struck by an auto?"
he was asked.

when a motor car whizzed by me the
other day. Then 1 decided to wage a
single-handed war on the drivers.

came to town. 1 decided to teach those
reckless chauffeurs lesson and played

did years ago some of those fellows
would be nursing sore heads"
Jacobs was warned by the prosecutor
not to throw stones at chauffeurs again,
and after being given severe repri-
mand was allowed to go.
He refused to promise not to do 1T
again and left the office grumbling
about the laws concerning reckless
autoists.

THE FLoNzALEY QUARTET.

sisDs have not been wanting of late that the
FrJonzaIey Quartet has attained a rpeness ana
,1nanlnitv OF style fer and away in advance OF
that which marked the organizations first pubic
appearances Of several seasons ago. Another agree
able demonstration OF the fact given last
night at the stuyvesant Theatre. when the fouF
musicians offered a programme ranging from the
elder Ieclair a French contemporary OF Bach
down to the Russian. Glazounow one Of the most
Industrious composers of to-day. The evenings list
had been chosen rather for pleasing than for aus
tere qualities and it contained nothing cryptic
and nothing unfamiliar. A Mozart quartet in d
major was followed by the exceptionally direct
and appealing Sonata Of Leclair. for two vio-
Inns and violoncello. Op. 4. No /, which the
FlonzaIcy men had but lately performed at one
OF their weekday concerts. The clarity and clean
ness OF this dexterous and expressive old score
we're happily brought out, and there must be
special word to sgnaIize the beautifully balanced
presentation Of the largo and finale, In which the
composers brilliant success In utilizing the three
instruments fullest advantage was matched by
the skill and constituencies OF the Flonzaley players
The fragments making up the last number or the
programme provided further proof Of the capabni-
ties Of this chamber music Coterie. The smooth
flow Of liquid tone homogeneous in quality and
plastic in high degree. helped TO make GlaZounow's
Couraute enjoyable from the first stroke OF its
fortunately distributed 4 fat major opening chord
Next came the adagio from Beethoven's G major
quartet. Op. IS, No. 2 rendered doubly effective
by the juxtaposIton OF lts key Of major with the
A Gat tonality that had gone before II. and that
came after it, in the scherzo from Dvoraks quar-
tet Op 105. This latter IS Dvorak at his happiest,
and it was good to hear the FlonzaIey Quartet
traversinG its exqusitey delicate and poetic meas
ures. The audience was fairly numerous and very
