FASTING HOLY ROLLER IS
EATING THREE MEALS A DAY
James Butler, Survivor of Starv-
ing Quartet, Adjudged Sane

James Butler, the only survivor of
four fasting Holy Rollers, three having
died a few weeks ago, appeared before
Judge Monroe of the superior court
and the lunacy commission yesterday
on an insanity charge.
In answer to questions from the
judge, Butler said that he had starved
himself because the Lord had COM
manded him to do so. He declared his
actions were merely the result of hear
ing the "call" from the power" and
answering it. He also admitted that
he now is eating three square" meals
a day and gave the judge his promise
that he will continue to eat as regular
ly.
Although he still appears weak, he
asserted that he Is quite able to take
care of himself, and declared his IN
tention of going to q ranch ne owns.
He was adjudged sane and given his
freedom, but the judge gave the COM
mand that he be kept in custody or
a deputy sheriff until he was placed
safely upon a car.
Butler is one of four members of
the Holy Rollers who tasted for weeks
in a cottage in the Arroyo Seco, near
South Pasadena. They believed that
they would be rewarded by a gift that
would enable them to speak all Ian
guages. They went without food 80
days before being discovered.
His companions, man, woman ana
a mere girl, all died as the result Of
starvation they endured and Butler
only now is practically assured of
life after remaining under the care
of physicians at the county hospital
for several weeks.

EAST SIDE GARBAGE STATION
is ATTACKED IN COURT

Holding that private citizens haye
the right, despite all protestation to the
contrary, to bring injunction suits
against public nuisances, Judge Nc
Cornick of the superior court yester-
day overruled the demurrer entered by
Charles A. Alexander in the action
taken against him by L. R. Alderman.
Alderman sought a restraining order
to prevent Alexander, who holds the
garbage contract with the city, from
maintaining the reloading station at
Macy and Anderson streets. He de-
clared the station public nuisance, as
1000 persons live within radius OF
1000 feet and are annoyed by offensive
odors and the myriads of insects.
Alexander argued that if the garbage
reloading station really is a public
nuisance, it cannot have injured Alder
man privately. He also asserted that
il such a suit were to be brought. the
city council should have done it. Alder
man claimed the council refused to take
such action, and Alexander retorted
that it could be forced to do so by a
writ of mandamus issued by the
superior court.
Judge Mccormick, in overruling the
demurrer of Alexander, set the time for
hearing the case on its merits for today

ALLOW MAN SUING JUDGE
TO AMEND HIS COMPLAINT
Court Permits Elimination of Ep-
ithets from Instrument

Demurrers entered by the defendants
in the case of John Lapique against
Charles Monroe, judge of the superior
court, and thirty-eight others were
sustained in an opinion handed down
yesterday by Judge Conrey, who grants
Lapique the right to amend his COM
plant for the second time.
Judge Conrey says that Laptque, who
sued Judge Monroe and others, among
whom were several county officials,
should have omitted the application of
the phrase, Lying perjurers," to sew
eral of the defendants, but declares he
had the right to make the charge, If
he knew it to be true. Hhe should not,
however have used the instrument to
apply offensive epithets.
Another reason for sustaining the
demurrer is that Lapique "in one action
tried to bring several causes for ac-
ton which must be prosecuted in sew
eral actions against several groups of
defendants If they are prosecuted at
ALL"
The action grew out of Lapique's
prosecution several years ago on the
charge Of obtaining money under false
pretense, from which, acting as his
own attorney, he succeeded in freeing
himself. He asks $4,000 from each de-
fendant for alleged malicious prosecu-
ton and false imprisonment.

ARMY OFFICERS DEVISE
NEW ATHLETIC CONTEST
Need for More Advanced Phys
icaI Training Develops Inno-
vation in Mounted Game
Especial to The Heraldl

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Sept. 29.-
Pursuant to general orders from the
war department for severer physical
training for the soldiers of the Unit
ed States army, officers In charge OF
Fort Sam Houston have devised u
new athletic contest known as 1.-THE
Melee" which will be put on at Field
his hands with fingers outstretched.
The teams consist of squadrons of
twelve men each. At first these will
be picked men from the various squad
rons of cavalry. The teams form in
line at distance of 25 yards on horse
back. They wear in addition to their
uniforms masks and plasterns and pom
pons six inches in length are securely
sewed to the top of the masks. At the
firing of a pistol the squadrons gall
lop at each other and the team des-
troying all the ponpons of it's oppon-
ents' wins the match. This contest, as
viewed by the rank outsider, looks
like a rough and tumble fight on horse
back, but it is said to develop the
highest qualities of horsemanship and
the greatest skill in offense and de-
fense.
Another innovation is the mounted
wrestling match In this contest the
soldiers are mounted on horseback
wearing khaki uniforms and olive drab
skirts. The contestants ride at each
other No man is allowed to use
his hands with fingers outstratched.
The hands must be kept closed and
any man who fouls is dismounted. A
contestant is considered dismounted
when any part of his body touches the
ground. The men wrestle two on a
side with sufficient space to make them
safe from the horses tramping. This
contest, too, requires some horseman-
ship to carry through.

PROTEST AGAINST SPREAD
OF BUSINESS IN SOUTH END
Council Considers Changes Ex-
cepting Lots for Industries

Four exceptions from the residence
district are provided by ordinances the
city attorney will present to the coun-
ell today. But it is hardly probable
that the council will pass these ordl-
nances without reference to the legis-
lation committee. 1t is improbable
that the legislation committee will rec
ommend their passage without giving
interested persons a full opportunity
to be heard. :,
The exceptions provided by the ordi--
nances to be presented today are lot 3
in block of Miguel subdivision Of the
Cells Vineyard tract; the territory
bounded by Arlington, Third avenue,
Santa Monica avenue and Santa Bar
bara avenue, or, at least, as much OF
that territory as is in the city limits;
lots s, 6, 12, 13, IA and Is of block l9
of La Paloma addition and lots so and
SO of the Orange Heights tract.
A protest has already been hled
against the exception from the resi-
dence district of the lot in the Cells
Vineyard tract. Several persons have
individually protested at the city at
torney's office.

CITY WILL REMOVE PART
OF BUILDING FROM ALLEY
City Engineer Instructed to Open
Public ThorOughfare

The boaord of public works yesterday
instructed the city engineer to take
such steps as are necessary to remove
two feet of the Forve-Pettebone build
ing on the east side of Broadway,
south Of Fifth, from the public alley.
City Attorney Shenk yesterday re-
ported to the board that the building
extended into the alley two feet, and
that the city and the owners of the
building had known it for some time,
but that there had been a verbal agree
ment that the building would not be
disturbed until after the lease had ex-
pired. Mr.. Shenk yesterday notified
the board that he was informed the
lease had expired and it was time to
do something about the building in
the alley
Mr.. Shenk also stated that informa-
tion had come to him that some person
stood at the entrance of the alley in
Broadway and notified those who
wished to use the alley that 1t was
private property and could not be
used without permission.
The city attorney declares the alley
is a public one and that it was par
TALLY decided to the city several years
ago. and the city obtained a quiet title
to all Of 1t by decree of court two
years ago.

COURT DISUKES HASTY
MARRIAGES; DELAYS SUIT
Judue Monroe Continues for More
Than a Year Mans Action
for Divorce

Because he does not approve of hasty
marriages, Judge Monroe of the su-
perior court yesterday continued for
more than a year, or until September
81. 1911. the divorce action instituted
by William Abbott against Edna Il,
Abbott.
According to the testimony, the
couple, both of whom are extremely
young, were married after an acquain-
tance of only two weeks. In nearly
as short a time, the wife grew tired
of married life and deserted her nus
band.
The husband proved desertion in the
case yesterday, but to show his dis
approval of hasty marriages and pos
sibly to indicate the likelihood of fu-
ture similar action in such cases, Judge
Monroe continued his decision for more
than a year.
Judge Mccormick granted a decree
to William f. Vernon, whose wife,
Elizabeth r. Vernon, deserted him.
The decision was given after a con-
tinuance, Judge Mccormick also ap-
parently putting q slight damper upon
divorce by making the husband pro
duce more witnesses than originally
was planned.
other divorces granted by Judge
Monroe were lIlOSS VI I4AiAe'DNNAi
Burgess from Jacob c. Burgess. and
FIoy E. Johnson from Earl w. john
son, both on cruelty charges.
Four new divorce actions were filed,

COUNCIL MAY SETTLE
CLAIM OF ARCHITECT
Fire Commission Desires Bill for
Plans Paid

The fire commission will ask the
council today to pay the bill of Archi-
tect w. F. Thompson for drawing
plans for the proposed engine house on
Seventh street, near Beacon. The house
has not been built, and it is not likely
1t will be built for some time, but the
city has the set Of plans The bill is
for 1865, which is 31a per cent of the
cost of the proposed building. The fre
commission says this is a just demand
on the city treasury.
1t also recommends that the plans for
the proposed engine house on Figueroa
and Seventh streets be scaled down
until they fit the allowance made in the
budget for the purpose, and that Archi-
tect John P. Kremple be paid his fee of
31b per cent on the basis of the cost
of the building after the plans are
scaled down.
The Kremple plans probably will be
used, for money has been appropriated
to construct the Figueroa street engine
house, and it will be applied for the
fire alarm system as well as fire ex-
tinguishing apparatus.

FAVORED BY COMMITTEE
City Attorney Instructed to Pre-
sent AboIiShing Measure

Repeal of the dog muzzling ordinance
will be brought about If the council
accepts the recommendation the legis-
lation committee will make to it today.
The city attorney has been apprised of
the intention of the committee and will
have a repeating ordinance ready to
present to the council at the same time
the committee makes its recommends
ton.
DR.. L. NJ. Powers, city health officer,
said last night that the ordinance
might as we'll be repealed as kept alive
as long as it is not enforced any better
than it is. He said there are several
cases of hydrophobia in the city, al
though there have been no human
cases recently.
"If the ordinance was enforced hydro
phobia would disappear almost at
once" said DR.. Powers. "But If they
do not intend to enforce it any better
than 1t is now, it might as well be
repealed"
The ordinance was passed last Feb

Initiator of Fracas at Dance Has
200 Women Against Him

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The names

night by using his fists against RI
val Before the police arrived four
men had been so seriously injured that
they will be in the hospital for many
days, while the incidental damage to

CHIEF GALLOWAY SCORES
ALLEGED SOCIAL CLUBS
Approves Request of German Al
lance to Sell Liquor

Chief of Police Galloway told the
police commission last night that the
Old Timers club and the Jefferson
club are violating the laws by selling
liquor without a license. The COM
missioners asked the chief why he did
not arrest and prosecute the guilty
parties. He replied that he could not
get his men into the places to get tho
evidence.
This statement was made in con-
nection with request Of the German
American alliance that the organtza-
tion be given permission to sell liquor
one day in October when celebration
will be held in Turner hall, without
securing the usual license. The appli-
cation was approved by the chief.
The commission asked the chief If
he did not know that to grant such an
application would be a violation Of the
ordinance and he said he did, but he
approved 1t because the alliance off,
GERS were manly enough to ask for the
permit while other clubs were selling
in violation Of law.

CALLS HALT IN GRANTING
RETAIL LIQUOR PERMITS

With only one out Of 200 retail liquor
licenses left, the police commission last
night called a halt on granting any
more and instructed Secretary Nc
Keag to receive no more applications
for retail permits. The one solitary per-
nit left the commission intends to
hold until some special occasion arises.
The commission also slowed down on
restaurant permits Of the No. l class.
Several were denied last night and
others were laid over for thirty days.
Thirty-nine Of these No. l permits
have been granted and the commission
wants to see how they will operate be-
fore giving out any more.
The holder of a No. l permit can
sell "short drinks" with meals, whereas
the holder of a No, permit can sell
only by the bottle. The first costs $1O0
a month. the same as a retail license,
and the second $50 a month.
