WILL REOPEN HEARING ON
RESIDENCE DISTRICT LAW
Legislative Committee of Coun-
Gil Will Act Today

Members of the legislation committee
of the city council strongly resent the
insinuation that they slipped one
over" in excepting a few lots at Beau
dry avenue and Sixth street from the
residence district. But just to show
that there is no intention to injure any
one the members of the legislation
committee will open the case in the
council this morning.
]. M. Beamish petitioned the council
to except few lots at Sixth and Beau
dry from the residence district so that
a little bakery which he and some of
his relatives own in the rear of their
homes could be enlarged. The prop
erty Beamish asked to have excepted
is owned by himslf and his brothers.
in-law who are associated with him in
the bakery business. There are three
handsome homes on the lots to be ex-
cepted, but Beamish and his relatives
own and live in these residences and
want the property exempted from the
residence district.
But there are also some nice houses
across the street from the bakery prop
erty and the owners of them intend to
protest against the exception from the
residence district. They fear noise
from the bakery, but more than any
objections that may come from the
bakery itself they fear that in future
some more disagreeable business may
be started,

put to work laying tracks on the west
side of the outer harbor line between
the tracks and the bluff. Between
Ninth and Eleventh streets there is
deep recess in the bluff. AS close to
the base of the bluff as possible track
was laid around this recess connecting
with the main line at both ends. To
fill the level ground between the main
line and this switch three tracks were
laid parallel with the main line.
This same kind Of construction work
was duplicated on smaller scale be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, where there is another recess
in the bluff The object Of this con-
struction APPARENTLY is to cover all the
ground possible that is to be con-
demned for the harbor highway
Employees of the company claim that
the work of connecting the Southern
Pacific and Pacific Electric is merely
to comply with an old contract made at
the time the Pacific Electric bought the
right of way to the outer harbor from
the Southern Pacific. The laying of
tracks on vacant ground that is soon
to be condemned, however, has not been
explained, and the reasons for the
work are probably better known to the
legal departments of the two roads
than to the operating departments.

MEDICAL FREEDOM LEAGUE
OPENS OFFICES HERE
Will Oppose Legislation Which
FavorS Any School

The National League for Medical
Freedom has opened a permanent Office
In room sos Homer Laughlin building,
with Reynold e. Blight as chairman of
the local committee of the league;
Henry M. Newmark, secretary, and P.
w. Powers and DR.. Guernsey P. War
ing of Alhambra as the other members
of the committee. Defining the pur-
pose Of the league, Mr.. Blight says:
Its aim and purpose is to defeat pa
ternal, unnecessary, eXtravagant un-
American medical legislation. This
league is not opposed to sanitation or
quarantine, properly administered, and
it makes no war on and has no quarrel
with the faithful medical practitioner
of whatever school Nor is it opposed
to the needed work of the state, county
or municipal authorities along these
lines; but it is opposed to any clique
of political doctors which seeks to DOM
mate the legislation of state and ma
tional government for the purpose Of
increasing their power and furthering
their own ambitions, all under the pre-
tense of the public veal.
''It will seek, through publicity and
education, to unmask and oppose any
legislation which endeavors to put into
power any one system of healing and
use the government prestige, money
and machinery to enforce its theories
and opinions upon citizens who believe
/ mother forms of healing. 1t is, nom
sectarian and non-political."

CITY OFFICIALS WILL
PROSECUTE LIGHT CASE
Rate for IncandeScent Lamps Is
Subject of Litigation

City Attorney Shenk, Prosecuting At
torney Eddie and Chief Galloway will
go to San Francisco this week to pre-
sent the city's side of the case in the
electric light rate hearing before the
state supreme court.
The case involved is the prosecution
of +. B. Goodrich, an employe of the
Pacific Light and Power company.
Goodrich is charged with attempting
to collect payment for renewal of in
candescent lamps after the recent rate
fixing. The ordinance prohibiting the
lighting companies from charging for
lamp renewals was passed after the
rate fixing ordinance, because it was
soon learned that the lighting COM
panies expected to get back a part Of
the revenue they lost when the light
rate was reduced from nine to seven
cents a kilowatt hour.
The lighting companies hold that it
is depriving them of property without
compensation to legislate against
charging for lamp renewals, but the
city holds that these renewals were
charged in the expenses of the COM
panies when they submitted their state
ments to the council, and that the rate
of seven cents a kilowatt hour was
fixed on the entire statement of the
companies with the cost Of renewals
included.

NO TAX INCREASE,
HOPKINS DECLARES
AnueIeno Believes Assessment OF
Los Angeles County Will
Not Be Higher

With the belief that the assessment
of Los Angeles county will not be in
creased by the state board of equaliza-
ton, Ed w. Hopkins, county assessor,
who, by command, appeared before
that body to show cause why it should
not, has returned to Los Angeles.
Mr. Hopkins principal reason for be-
lieving the figures he presented to the
board will be undisturbed, is that or
the 40 per cent increase made by that
body last year he has "given 1t back
60 per cent" ..,,o
board increased the assessment OF Los
Angeles county $165,000 900. This year
7 have increased it $102, 900, or go
per cent of the boards advance last
year.
"The board raised San Francisco's
assessment $45,000,000 last year. The
assessor of that county this year has
advanced his assessments only $2O,OOO,-
900 beyond that figure.
"In justice the board cannot raise
one county's assessment without
raising those of all. I do not think
that either San Francisco or Los An
geles county will experience any ad-
vance in assessments this year."
With e. o. Weed, his chief deputy,
Mr.. Hopkins appeared before the board
in Sacramento last Thursday for argu-
ment. The figures given for Los An
geles county's assessment this year
were $522, ,0O0, 900, an increase of $1O2, ,OOO,-
600, or within 500, 100000 of the amount
fixed by the board by the 40 per cent
increase last fall.
The assessor this year has more
chance to prepare for the boards
meeting and his appearance before IT.
He employed E. G. Taylor Of the Ger
man American Savings bank to assess
property valued at $25,00O,OOO as
check upon his work.
Mr.. Hopkins believes the assess
ments in Los Angeles county are as
high as those in any other county in
the state in proportion, and he thinks
the members of the board are satls-
fed with his figures and will not in
crease them.

OWNERS ARRIVAL MAKES
THIEVES ABANDON LOOT
Burglars Escape as Leo KeIIner
Steps Through the Front
Door of House

Leo Kellner, chief engineer of the
Home Telephone company, by enter
ing his home at 1904 West Sixth street
yesterday afternoon to see If every
thing was safe prevented it from
being looted AS he stepped into the
front doorway he heard two men
making their escape through the back
door. The men had gathered all the
household valuables and were prepar-
ing to pack them in suit cases when
Mr.. Kellner appeared, causing them
to leave without the valuables. Mr.
Kellner rode up to the house in an
auto with a friend. Both were sur
prised on hearing the sounds of the
r1en retreating through the house.
The Kellners have been passing the
summer at Santa Monica, and Mr..
Kellner's object in going to his home
on Sixth street yesterday was to as
certain if everything was all right.
When Kelner and his fSiend emerged
from the house to see if the men had
appeared on the street they were met
by a we'll dressed stranger who in
formed him that his house also had
been visited by the burglars. The
stranger boarded a car after inform
ing Kellner that he was going to no.
tify the police as soon as his wife
made an inventory of their loss. The
police received no report from TINS
man.
The men that entered the Kellner
home searched every room in the
house. taking the best articles to one
of the front rooms preparatory to
packing them in suit cases belonging
to Mr.. Kellner.
The articles gathered up by the men
are estimated by Mr.. Kellner to be
worth at least $500, consisting of jew
elry, silverware. bric-a-brac and cut
glass. Detectives from central police
headquarters are investigating the
case.

MAYOR ALEXANOER'S SON
RUNS DOWN A MEXICAN
Witnesses Declare the Machines
Were Racing When the
Accident Occurred

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 5.-F.
A. Alexander of Redlands, son of
Mayor Alexander of Los Angeles. late
last night ran down and probably
fatally injured Guadalupe Variel, a
Mexican, who was riding a bicycle.
The accident occurred near Bunker
Hill, on the San Bernardino-Colton
road, the scene of a score or more
disastrous accidents within the past
few months.
Preceding the Alexander automo-
bile was another machine. The Mexi-
can succeeded in lodging it, but an
instant later was crushed down by the
automobile following, driven by Alex
ander. The dust from the leading
automobile obscured the view of the
Redlands man and he struck the BIZ
cycle rider, who was forced by the
other machine to ride into his path.
Alexander stopped and went back to
the unconscious man. He hailed a
passing physician, said to be promi-
nent in Riverside, and asked him to
give the injured man attention. He
refused to stop and. Alexander placed
the Mexican in his machine and
brought him to San Bernardino. 1t
was found his arm was broken, jaw
badly fractured and blood vessel in
his leg ruptured, in addition to other
injuries. At the county hospital it is
said the man has an even chance for
life. 1t is feared he may have inter-
nal injuries.
An eyewitness to the accident
charges that the two machines were
racing. Alexander was on the right
side of the road
During the past week one man has
been killed and four others injured at
the foot of Bunker Hill.
One of Alexandcr's young daughters
who was in the machine was badly
bruised by being thrown against the
side of the tonneau.
