ASKS FOR LOWER MINIMUM
ON STATURE OF FIREMEN
Chief EIey Declares Underslzed
~
Applicant Good Worker

According to Chief Eley little men
often are as good fire fighters as their
more stalwart fellows. The chief re-
ported to the fire commission yester-
day that a fireman employed tenn
porarily by the department had been
refused permission to take the civil
service examination because he Is
understood. The chief said he was
good man and would be a valuable
member of Los Angeles fire fighting
force. but admitted that he didn't quite
stack up to civil service requirements
The civil service commission has en-
forced a rule establishing the minimum
height of firemen at five feet seven
inches, while Eley's protege measures
only five feet six and three-quarters:
There may be a way out of the dlt-
fculty, though, as the fire board in
structed Secretary McKeag to address
a communication to the civil service
commission asking that the height
limit be reduced to five feet six inches.

HASTE ON STREET GRADES
Declare Real Estate and Build
inu Activities Are Affected

A delegation of Wilmington property
owners, for whom D. r. Woods acted
as spokesman, yesterday asked the
council committee on streets and boule-
wards to hasten action on the or
dinance establishing the grade of
Wilmington streets under plans sug-
gested by City Engineer Hamlin, who
proposes a raise of seven feet.
The work will be rather expensive,
but is necessary in order to obtain
proper drainage. Yesterday the dele
CATION asked the city to pay for the
Improvement and the committee finally
decided to go to the harbor next
wednesday. All members of the coun-
Gil City Engineer Hamlin, City At
torney Hewitt and members of the
board of public works will be asked
to look over the Wilmington situation.
The work, say Wilmington residents
should be done at once, as large
amount of building operations is be-
ing held up pending it, while real es-
tate Is at a standstill.

SLAYER INSANE AT TIME
OF MURDER SAY ALIENlSTS
Physicians Testify in Case of the
Man Who Killed Moore

Several alienists were on the stand
yesterday in the trial of Hal E. Hardy
in Judge Willis court, on the charge Of
killing William Moore, on December
of last year. They we're Drs. H. He
bert, c. 7. Barber and Robert V. Day.
and they testified that from the evil
dence presented to them Hardy was
temporarily insane from alcoholism
when he shot Moore.
Hebert was asked by Deputy District
Attorney Ford if a man who showed
marks of buckshot in his arm and told
a tamale vendor he was a bad man,
and that he was from Kentucky, and
would kill anybody who offered him an
insult, would be acting irrationally.
Hebert said he would. By this ques-
ton Ford attempted to show that Har-
dy did the shooting because he had
been apparently insulted, but the ply
sician stuck to his belief that Hardy
was irrational at the time.
Earl Rogers. for the defense, endeav-
ored to introduce testimony that De-
tective McAwley, who had searched for
the slayer of Moore, had been supplied
with a description showing marked
difference from the appearance of the
prisoner.
The prosecution will commence to in
troduce testimony in the trial today.

JUDGE REFUSES TO GRANT
DECREE IN PICO CASE
Both Claim DeSertion and Fail to
Make Case Satisfactory
to the Court

Following a divorce contest which
took most of the day yesterday in
Judge Hutton's court between Frank
]. Pico and Camilla f. Pico, in which
each charged the other with desertion,
the court denied each of them a de-
cree and told them that the best thing
they could 90 would be to make up
and start life over. A little son 4
years old was the main contention of
the action.
Pico formerly ran poolroom in San
Fernando. but later became secretary
of the water company in that town.
He declared that a couple of years
ago his wife packed up and left him
while he was at work, giving no reason
for doing so. He said he could not
imagine why she left, he told the
court. He declared he had tried to
have his wife come back to him and
had placed 500 in the bank to her
credit and given her credit at the
grocer's, but she had refused to live
with him. He asked a divorce for de-
sertion and the custody of the child.
WIFE's CROsS-CoNIPLAINT
Mrs Pico. in her CROSSE complaint,
charged Pico with deserting her. she
said he had been addicted to liquor

talked about her to neighbors, saying
she was running around with other
men She told the court she had lost
interest in him. Judge Hutton said
that from the evidence it was shown
her husband had stopped drinking.
She declared. however, that it made
no difference to her whether he drank
or not.
After prolonged arguments in the
case, Judge Hutton denied them a di-
vorce. The couple left court separ-
ately, however, and it is uncertain as
to whether they will become recon-
ciled.
DECREE GRANTED
Judge Hutton granted an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce to Mrs. Caldera
Stickles from Ernest Stickles on the
ground of desertion and misrepresen-
tation. She alleged that when he mar
ried her he swore his name was Harry
Dixon, but that after several years
she discovered his real name was
Stickles. He is a trainmaster on one
of the roads running into Los Angeles,
she said.
The plaintiff asked for $100 a month
alimony, but the court concluded that
500 a month would be sufficient for
her needs. She was awarded that
amount and the custody of three
minor children.

RaIIestero'S Resignation

to engine company 10, was dismissed
from the service for INSTRUMENTATION at

string for any reason to turn their
duties over to a substitute, either must
give to their commanding officer an

nation to take effect Immediately. but
the commission could not see 1t that
way and discharged him.

WHY CLUB HEARS DEBATE
ABOUT PROHIBITION PARTY

The Why club of the Y. NJ. c. A.
held an interesting debate last even
dng on the question Resolved, that the
Prohibition party as political organ
dzation be eliminated from national
politics" The debate was decided by
a general vote OF the members and
visitors in favor Of the negative, rep
resented by E. D. Martindale and F.
N Arnoldy.
While these men were good speak
ers, the better arguments were pro-
duced by D. W.@ Robinson and M.
Luter of the affirmative, who lost the
debate because, as the members frank
ly admitted, the vote was made on
sentimental lines, the audience losing
sight of the excellent points made by
the two men.
The meeting was featured by good
selections by the Triangle band and
Miss Jessie Stafford, whose number
was we'll received by the members.
After the musical selections had been
nlayed, w. ]. Phillips, editor of the
California Voice, was called upon TO
give a short talk on the subject OF
the influence Of prohibition on the
growth and development of the cities
of this state. He proved by conclusive
figures that all of the towns Of this
state that have high tax rates are
those which have saloons. He also
said that most of the towns that have
increased their population in the last
year are temperance towns with @ the
exceDtion of the city of Los Angeles.
Mr. Phillips said he had received a
letter from the governor of Kansas In
the last month in which the governor
wrote that Kansas had a record of
fifty counties in which there was not
a man in Jail, thirty-sevon counties
in which it has no criminal cases upon
the dockets of the courts and thirty
Eve counties in which the state has
leased the poorhouses to the govern
ment for lack of sufficient paupers to
REQUIRE their upkeep.

for more than four hours, Judge Willis

from the American Hominy company,
of which he was manager, and he Is
