CONFUSION OF STREETS
CAUSED BY ANNEXATION
Directory Men Troubled by Many
Roads of Greater City Hav-
ing Same Name

AS result Of the recent annexation
of territory TO the city, according to
r. G. Devereux, general manager of
the City Directory Publishing com
pany, the streets of Greater Los An
geles are much mixed up. and 1t Is
very probable the publication of the
city directory will be delayed some
time on account OF the confusion. Mr..
Devereux suggests that there should
be street name commission to inaug-
urate a system of some nature and to
examine the names of the streets of
incoming towns to prevent duplication.
In the work of compiling statistics
for the city directory it has been dis
covered that there are four Mountain
View avenues In the city at present
There are three Santa Monica avenues
each in a different part OF the city and
in no way connected with the others
There are about half a dozen State
streets and several Center streets. Two
Santa Clara streets add to the confu-
sion.
These are only few examples which
Mr.. Devereux cited yesterday without
consulting his map.
In Hollywood there Is a street which
changes its name every two or three
blocks Such a system makes trouble
for the city directory publishers.
ne coihpdHy dlSo 10 CduSeu much
difficulty when the name of street
is needlessly changed. There is much
unwise changing of names of the city's
Streets" said Mr.. Devereux yesterday
afternoon. ''Downey avenue and
Buena Vista street were we'll named
before they were changed. They stood
as landmarks and their names meant
something. 1t was we'll to change the
name Of Requina street to Market
street, because of the difficulty of the
pronunciation. of Requina-"

TAKES LEAD PILLS FOR
AILMENT; CURE MAY KILL
Man Poisoned by Eating Halt
Pound of Metal When Shot
Was Prescribed

AS the result of swallowing a guam
tity of leaden pellets which his frlenos
told him would cure dyspepsia, COM
plaint from which he had suffered for
some time, stephen Bodig, a Slavonian
of 652 New High street, is in critl-
cal condition at the California hospital
He has developed an acute case or
tuberculosis as the result of lead pol
soning, and his lips, tongue, stomach
and intestines are coated with a de-
posit of lead one-sixteenth of an inch
in depth.
About three months ago Bodig, who
had suffered from chronic dyspepsia for
a number of years, told his friends or
his trouble. One of his fellow coun-
trymen told him that If he would swal-
low a small shot it would cure him or
his aliment. The unfortunate man had
no shot in his possession, and decided
that If a small shot would work cure
a quantity of lead would be much
better. After searching about the
house he found a piece of lead drain
pipe. He cut eight small pieces, and
swallowed one each day until he had
taken into his system half pound of
lead.
Shortly after having taken the last
dose of the novel remedy Bodlg began
to feel i'll and several days later was
compelled to go to bed. He was taken
to the Sisters hospital. Drs. c. w.
Pierce and w. A. Mayne used an X-ray
machine, but for some reason were
unable to find traces of the leaden
slugs.
Bodig grew worse and on March 8
an operation was performed and the
eight slugs were removed from the
stomach of the sick man. In the
meantime lead poisoning had developed
and every organ In the body of Bodig
was affected.
A week ago he was removed to the
California hospital. Shortly after his
arrival at that institution it was found
that he had contracted an acute case
of tuberculosis as the result of the
lead poisoning, and now is in critical
condition. The attending physicians
say that the patient is in bad shape,
that the lead has impregnated his sys-
tenn and that the organs of Bodig are
coated with the poisonous metal.

ALLEGED SMUGGLER TO
Be TRIED At Ell PASO
Federal Authorities Claim Evil
denCe Against George Poole Is
Sufficient to Convict

Warrants were issued through the
United States district attorneys office
yesterday for the removal of George
olin Poole. alias "Snake" Poole. alias
NJ. L. Harris, who, the federal authori-
ties claim, is the king" of an opium
and Chinese smuggling ring that for
years has operated from the distant
Orient to the Chinatowps of eastern
cities by way OF the Mexican border,
to Ell Paso. where he is under indict-
ment on a charge of facilitating the
transportation OF opium into this
country.
The action was taken by the federal
authorities shortly after they came
into possession of information that, 1t
is thought, will add another link in
the long chain of evidence they say
was gathered at great expense after
Poole had entered plea of not guilty
in the United States district court here
to similar charges against him. Poole
is held in the county Jail under $4,000
bonds, and will be taken south this
week. T. J. Murphy. his alleged part
ner, with whom he has been confined,
entered a similar plea yesterday, and
both cases We're continued over until
the end OF the term in order that the
Texas officials may press their charges.
According to the federal authorities,
Poole Is worth considerable money, and
has been the recognized leader Of an
organized business dealing In the
smuggling of Chinese and opium into
this country for many years. Swift
schooners, operating between China
and the Mexican shores; secret offices
in the Orient, Mexico and in fAmeri-
can cities, and hundreds of men of
different nationalities are said to be
in the service of the ring that for
years has sl1illfully evaded capture and
cost the United States government
thousands of dollars in running down
clews and seizing contraband goods.
Captures that have been effected have
been of minor Importance. In th.. ar
rest of Poole the officers believe they
have at last laid their hands on the
head of the great system.
Poole is man 40 years old. He re-
sembles an American business man of
affairs, and the officers say he is un-
usually bright Broad shouldered,
smooth shaven and attired in a light
gray suit, he appeared more an In
terested spectator in the court room
yesterday than defendant of charges
that, if proved, will send him to prison
for many years. Outside of covertly
scanning the faces of every stranger
who entered the court room he showed
little or no concern.

FIGHT ALL EVILS WITH
SYSTEM, SAYS MINISTER

There are four principles in ac-
cordance with which real movements
for Christian reform operate" said
Rev. w. e. Perry, superintendent of the
International Reform bureau of the
Pacific coast, in lecture on Chris
tian Reform" last night at Christ
Episcopal church.
"First-The inspiration of real re-
form" said Rev. Mr.. Perry, 'is in the
love of God, which love kindles en-
thusiasm for man and the purpose to
better the conditions under which he
lives.
"Second-The end of true reform is
to establish the law of Christ which is
righteousness in every department of
human affairs, just so far as can be
done by human agencies.
"Third-The method of reform is
two-fold-from the heart outward and
from without inward. Environment is
of great Importance in forming Chris
tian character and reform.
"Fourth-In promoting reform atten-
tion should not be given to one evil
only, but all the great evils should be
fought systematically and persistent
ly."

PERKINS RELEASED; HIS
STORY IS DISCRED|TED
Police Repudiate NeWsboy's Tale
of Patrolman'S
Murder

After three days investigation of the
murder of Patrolman David Brooks
detectives and patrolmen who have
been working on the case admitted last
night they had run down all clews
and the possibility of apprehending the
guilty person or persons is as remote
as ever.
Yesterday morning Captain of De-
tectives Paul F1ammer ordered the re-
lease of R. f. Perkins the crippled
newsboy who had been in custody
since Saturday morning, after relating
a sensational story in which he pur-
ported to have knowledge of the killing
and the identity of the murderers.
Captain Flammer stated he was
satisfied Perkins story was concocted
from an overworked Imagination, in
duced by indulgence in Intoxicating
liquors and with a desire to gain
notoriety. Perkins movements on the
night of the shooting were traced, and
it was learned that he had not been
farther south than Seventh street, and
could not have been in the vicinity OF
the holdup and murder.
BEFORE DelnS released ferhinS was
reprimanded severely and warned that
it is O criminal offense to make false
reports to police headquarters.
Fred Weller, who is said to have
prison record, and Ernest Britt,
formerly employed as dog catcher, and
several other suspects also were re-
leased yesterday, having satisfied the
officers they had no knowledge OF the
crime.
The coroner held an inquest over the
body of Brooks at the undertaking
parlors of Overholtzer & Mills company
yesterday, and the jury returned a
verdict to the effect that the police
man came to his death as the result
of shock and hemorrhage due to a gun
shot wound in the abdomen, inflicted
by a person or persons unidentified
and with intent to commit murder.
The funeral of Brooks Will take place
Wednesday afternoon.
The officer left $1100 life insurance.
OF this amount $500 will be used in
paying off a mortgage on the home at
1913 West Thirty second street. The
widow, who is left with four small
children, will receive a pension of
$SS33 month from the police pension
fund.

"The apathy OF voters is the only dan
ger confronting the harbor and power
bonds. The fact that there Is little op-
position 20 the two bond issues causes us
to fear that many voters will not cast

pOrtant that there be a heavy vote to
show the United States government we
arc not haif-hearted. but are profoundly
determined and enthusiastic, we appeal
to every loyal citizen of Les Angeles to
be sure TO vote for the bonds Otherwise
the officials at Washington will say that
our harbor project Is not popular, or
urgent, and the big appropriation nOg
pending may be postponed, and all budg-
cts are being reduced at every OppOrtun-
ity. We must not give congress an ex-
cuse to withhold the money promised us,

SKULL FRACTURED, MAN
RETAINS CONSCIOUSNESS

Although In a critical condition and
despite the fact that his skull was
fractured as the result of being kicked
by an unruly horse which he was try
ing to harness in the livery stable at
years old, did not lose consciousness
when taken to the receiving hospital

lice surgeons he had been handling

never used a profane word and had
never been injured.
Barnett is employed by the Los An

works in the stables at 1923 East Second

and fell behind the animal. The horse
kicked him on the head, and Barnett

The various municipal associations
civic clubs and Industrial and sociaI
organizations Of Los Angeles are rap
idly forming together on the firing
line" of the harbor and power plant
campaign and every day sees another
powerful organization coming out for
the bonds and urging it's members and
citizens in general to support the two
projects at the pending election April
10.
From now until election day free
lectures illustrated with stereopticon
views will be given during the noon
hour on the first floor of the chamber
of commerce building.
The Los Angeles harbor and aque-
duct will be pictured and explained by
men well posted as to the details OF
the proposed work. Everyone desir-
ing information on the two subjects is
invited to attend.
A. A. Hubbard. president of the Los
Angeles board of public works, yester-
day issued an urgent appeal on be-
half of the members of the board fol
the voters to show their full strength
at the coming election and to cast
their ballots in favor of the harbor
and aqueduct bonds.
The appeal is as follows:
To the voters of Los Angeles:
One of the most important, If
not the most important, cleo
tions ever held in the city of Los
Angeles will be held April 10. and
at that time the voters will de-
eide the future of our city and
will determine whether we shall
proceed along provincial lines or
provide for the building here of
one of the greatest cities on earth,
and this opportunity was given to
the voters when Wilmington and
San Pedro surrendered their indi-
viduality and turned over to the
city their harbors on the condition
that they be improved to meet the
immediate and future demands of
commerce.
A mans integrity is his greatest
asset; so with a municipality.
Los Angeles agreement with
San Pedro and Wilmington in case
of annexation was TO vote bonds
for the improvement Of their har-
bors and approaches.
Let us not forget-while the
United States government will help
to improve the harbor by dredg-
ing to its proper depth, the city
must construct it's own docks and
wharves to accommodate commerce
and first of all wharfage should
be made available in both the in
ner and outer harbors, where the
largest vessels afioat could land
with safety to discharge their car
goes.
The city Of Los Angeles has an
opportunity to make an invest
ment of great value. I refer to
the proposed development of pow
er along the line of the aqueduct.
If every voter in the city would
read and digest the report of the
consulting electrical engineers on
this great undertaking, there would
be no question as to the result
of the coming bond election.
In my opinion 1t is the duty Of
every voter In Los Angeles to cast
his vote Tuesday, April 19, 1910, in
favor of both bond issues.
A. A. HUBBARD,
President Board of Public Works.

During the dull hours of last night,
a well-dressed man rushed into the

Eighteenth streets and asked the clerk
if there was a door leading into the
alleyway. The clerk replied there

smoke was arising from the rear, and
it looked as though the place was
af1re. He rushed into the yard in the
rear of the place and invited the clerk
to aid him in an inspection But he
was unsuccessful in this ruse-for ruse

Opening of Second Street.
The council has In prospect an
other round with the question of
opening to general traffic Second
street between Thirteenth and Four
teenth avenues. The west end ex-
tension Of the Tri-City Railway COM
pany Is routed along this street, and
it is necessary that the council take
actfCn looking to the accommodation
of the routing of the projected line
in conformity with the provisions of
the recently enacted ordinance of
the company. City councils for %
years have been wrestling with the
Sec, nd street problem. The block
has been surveyed and the engineers
stakes are still in evidence there.
The obstacle is the home of Mr.. Zim-
norman, who resides on the west
side of the street line. According to
City Engineer Wallace Treichler, Mr..
Zimmerman's fence encroaches Is
feet into the street. John Stapp was
the owner of the acreage in that To-
cality and he divided the land into
lots and sold them out. 1t is charg-
ed that Mr.. Stapp gave the street
