CITIZENS WILL REQUEST
AMENDED BUILDING LAW

The legislation committee will re-
port adversely to the council today
on the petition of Fl. c. Merritt of the
Spring Street company for an increase
in the height of buildings, but it is
expected that a battle royal will de-
velop over the question on the floor
of the council, for a number of the
members are in favor of granting the
amendment to the building ordinance,
and a petition signed by one hundred
prominent citizens, favoring the in
crease, will be presented.
In addition to advising the denial and
filing of the Merritt petition, the legis-
lation committee. will ask that the
height of buildings, as it is now fixed
in the ordinance. be incorporated in
the new charter SO that individuals
cannot ask for amendments.
Mr. Merritt asked the council to
amend the ordinance so that he could
construct building 233 feet high. He
promised it would be the most beau
tiful building on the Pacific coast.
1t was to be twelve stories high and
surmounted by ornamental cupolas.
Anticipating opposition to the pro-
posed change in the ordinance, Mr..
Merritt yesterday circulated a petit
tion among the prominent business
men Of the city embodying ain appeal
to the council to make the change
desired. SeYenty-six signatures had
been obtained last night, and Mr.. Mer-
ritt said he would have twenty-four
more before the council session be-
gins this morning. The signatures are
those of we'll known firms and promi-
nent business men, including banks,
trust companies and commercialhou5es

FANS LIKE IDEA
OF GR|D|RON DAY
Manager Pat WheeIan Reports
Nice Progress on Christmas
Program of Comparisons

The Los Angeles high school Rugby
football team has been signed to play
against Polytechnic high school in the
big football carnival to be given by
Pat Wheelan on Christmas. The Los
Angeles team, as whole, will not
be able to take part, as three of the
boys are on the injured list and two
are out on account of parental objec-
tions, but the other members of the
fifteen, which include those signed by
Wheelan, are glad of the choice not
only of going up against Polytechnic
high school, but of proving that the
Rugby game is better than any of the
four styles to be played in the carnival
on Bovard field.
After the Rugby contest Saturday
when the best game of the season was
pulled off before an enthusiastic crowd
of 1000 persons, the Rugby adherents
were extremely confident that they
can win in the popular contest and
that the winning team of the two will
secure the trophy to be offered.
Polytechnic high school expects to
have it's best team out, including most
of last years aggregation, and the
boys were out last night practicing
hard. They are in fine spirits and
joyous at the idea of again entering
some kind of athletics.
Coach Walter Rheinschild will be
unable to guide the st. Vincent team
because of business matters, but
Coach Ralph RAIDER, who played at
ST. Vincent's last year and this year
coached the U. S. c. preps, has taken
hold and will tutor the Saints in the
old style of American football, at
which he was an adept some years
ago. He remembers the features
thoroughly and says he will turn out a
team that will win against the In
dians.
Both soccer teams, the Rangers and
the Thistles, have signed and are
anxious to show up the upstart games
of America, and also the Rugby style.

LELANDE APPOINTS
THIRTY DEPUTIES
of InCumbents in County
Clerks Office to Retain
Their Positions

Harry J. Lelande. county clerk
elect, announced last night thirty of
the thirty-six appointments he will
make in the county clerks office.
Many of the incumbents will retain
their positions as long as they give
good service, and If the legislature ap-
plies civil service to county deputies
and clerks, as is expected, they will
have the opportunity to hold their jobs
for lifetime if they are competent.
Perhaps the most drastic change
that Lelande proposes is to appoint
R. S. Sparks HIS chief deputy. This
will remove Andy Francisco, who has
held the position so long that people
began to regard it as his right. Sparks,
who is to succeed Francisco, has been
deputy county auditor and tax collect
or for a number of years and is thor
oughly acquainted with the business of
the clerks office. The chief deputy
receives a salary of s2100 year.
There is a certainty that a new
registration clerk will be appointed,
and he is likely to be L. F. hampton.
Lelande has not definitely decided this
question yet, but he has appointed
Hampton as office deputy so as to have
him handy If he wants him for the
registration bureau. r. NJ. Brown now
holds this position.
D. S. Burson is to remain as cashier
and bookkeeper and J. D. McFarren
will remain as clerk Of the board of
supervisors. The office deputies are:
Elmer higgins, George e. Ross, Wal
ter Hoover L. F.. Hampton, w. c.
Watson of Pasadena, Brainerd Smith,
p. b. Spears of South Pasadena, An
drew Robertson, j. Fl. Parker, S. E.
Brown of Tropico, all holdovers, and
Irving Baxter, Thomas McAieer
Charles P. Glaze, ], A. Campbell of
Gardena, A. l.. stephens and w. M.
Kerr, new appointees.
For court clerks Mr.. Lelande has
chosen W. L. Warne. Judge Rives'
court Fl. B. Blakeley, Judge Conrey's s
court Thomas Colville of Pasadena,
Judge Monroe's court; o. L. Iivesey,
Judge Finlayson's court: Sam KutZ,
Judge Wilbur's court; George Monroe
of Monrovia. Judge Bordwells court,
all holdoyers, and the following new
ones: Schuyler Cole Of Colegrove,
Judge Hutton's court d. r. Dwyer of
Pomona, Judge Woods court, and Ed
ward L. Kinney, Judge Craig's court,
There are still several courts to be
supplied, and it is not for lack of ap-
plicants that they have not been
chosen. Mr. Lelande is trying to pick
the best material and proposes to take
his time doing it, although the rest
of the appointments may be an
nounced Wednesday.
Mr. Lelande intended to tender his
resignation as city clerk to the council
today, but he has been urged to stay
"On the job" until the first of the year
and has consented He expected to
take a vacation before assuming his
duties as county clerk, but he will
have to jump from one position into
the other without any rest.

THESP|AN RACES
WITH TIME; WINS
Pajama-CIad Actor Quits Stalled
Train in Auto to Reach
Here for Opening

George Beban. headliner at the Or
pheum this week, only saved his open
ing performance yesterday by siren
uous auto ride down the coast from
Surf, and an expenditure of SIS. And
then, Just to be perVerse, the train
which ne left stalled on the wrong side
of a wreck, and seemingly tied up for
a week, beat him into the city.
Beban sent his THE Sign of the
Rose" company down here on the Sat
urday night train from Oakland, but
waited personally for the Sunday night
Lark He was blissfully dreaming
away in his pink pajamas at an early
hour yesterday when the sudden stop
of the train awakened him. Piling out,
with apprehensiye mien and an over
coat on, Beban inquired the trouble.
He was informed that northbouno
train had gone into the ditch south of
Surf, and that a possible delay of
some hours was more than likely.
A hasty run to the station at Surf
confirmed it. He knew that il he did
not arrive here by $3.50 yesterday after
noon he couldn't open, and he began
to see visions of managerial anger to
say the least
us there no way of getting a spe-
cial out?" he asked the harassed sta
tion agent.
HIRES AN AUTOMOBILE
How can we get a special through
when the regular can't run?' was the
satisfactory reply.
Then Beban had an inspiration.
Has anybody in these diggings an
auto?" he asked.
Nearest is at Graviota. 20 miles"
Beban reached Graviota on the phone
and dickered for the auto.
1T will cost you $75,' said the un-
feeling owner.
will you guarantee to get me into
Los Angeles by 1902" asked Beban.
Wen take you there if the machine
holds"
..If you guarantee to make the
schedule you get the $75; not other
wise" was Beban's ultimatum.
The car made the twenty miles from
Graviota in twenty-five minutes. With
an overcoat and his shoes and pajamas
making up his attire, Beban hoped
in, gathering his luggage about him,
and the machine started. The only
stop was in Santa Barbara for light
breakfast and some liquid warmth.
Then the run on here was resumed,
and at 3 o'clock the machine had Be
ban at the Orpheum door. On the
way he had partly dressed, so no one
here realized the strange sight he made
earlier in the day.
And on his arrival the Orpheum man
agement heaved long breath-for the
delayed Lark had already reached the
CITY and no Beban was aboard.
But the experience was worth the
S75,' is Bebans consolatory view of
his rapid ride.

ENGLISH TENNIS TEAMS
SEEK AMERICAN MATCH
Racket WieIders Would Enter
Competition Aside from Regu-
lar Play for Davis Cup

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The English
Lawn Tennis association at its annual
meeting today referred to the inter-
national committee the proposal of the
council that in view of the difficulty of
securing a team to make the trip to
Australia or New Zealand, the time
had arrived to resume negotiations for
an annual international match with
America, quite distinct from the Davis
cup competition and to be played in
England and the United States alter
nately.
The idea met with unanimous appro-
val, the only stipulation suggested be-
ing that the match should not clash
with the Davis cup contest.
The suggestion that the amateur
status Of tennis players be defined by
the association also was referred to
the committee.
