Editor Times;-The holocaust of hui
man lives rushed into eternity in the
Chicago fire last week should arouse
some interest in this community, as we
can never be too certain similar mis-
fortunes will not, visit our fair city.
The Chicago Building Commissioner
is now throwing any number of con.
niption fits in getting busy inspecting
all the flats, hotels and other buildings
to find out If proper and adequate
safety devices have been installed for
protection in case of fire-all this. be-
cause the city has just been shocked at
the reckless sacrifice of valuable lives
due to previous negligence or some
thing which appears very much like
criminal negligence.
The stairways are too narrow for free
egress in the case of rush, and exits
are insufficient in number. There is
| no consolation to the deceased or be-
| reaved in post-mortem activities; pro-
lection is necessary previous to these
and similar disasters. While the Chi

FIGHTS LICENSE FEE LAW
IN SUPERIOR COURT SUIT
Insurance Operator Wants Los
Angeles Statute Declared Void

F. S. Hughes, an insurance operator,
Yesterday filed in the superior court
a suit attacking the city ordinance
providing for the payment of a license
fee by all persons and corporations
transacting business in Los Angeles.
He especially attacks the measure re-
ating to insurance writer's that pro-
vides that agents must pay quarter
ly license for each company they rep
resent and general solicitors and brok-
ers $3.50 for the same period.
Hughes declares that he so far has
paid such license under protest, using a
regular form to that effect, when he
sent his money into the tax collector.
He wants the ordinance declared un-
constitutional, null and void on the
ground that it discriminates be-
tween persons and corporations oper-
ating the same kind of business. He
asks the court also to enjoin all city
officials from arresting him for the
nonpayment of the quarterly license
fees due October /, as he alleges they
have threatened TO do, pending the
hearing of his suit.
Hughes directs the action against
mayor, the councilmen, the chief Of
police. the city clerk and' the city tax
and license collector.

HOSTLER WANTS $4,000
FOR THIGH BONE INJURY
Damage Suits Are Filed Aggre-
eating $4,000

Three damage suits, aggregating
1000, were filed yesterday in the su-
perior court.
NJ. d. Day wants the Great Eastern
Transfer company, for which he
worked as corral man at it's yards at
142 South Alameda street from August
3, 1909, to November 10, 1909. to pay
him $4,000 for injuries suffered when
he was knocked down by a horse. He
tells of two horses which caused his
trouble One was "Tom," described
as a vicious beast which delighted i'll
kicking and biting the other horses.
The other was Nancy" One day
Tom" lunged at Nancy and the
latter, in fear, jumped sideways, col
liding with Day, whose thigh bone was
fractured and whose nervous system
was deranged as the result.
L. G. Crossman, alleging that r. M.
Roberts assaulted him September 10
and beat him over the head with a re-
volver, wants the defendant to be or
dered to give him $4,000.
James =. White is suing the Pacific
Electric Railway company for $4,000.
He says the company is to blame for
his leg being broken while he was in
its employ November 5, 1908, at Lef-
fingwel. He was employed as a line
mans helper. A pole which was being
placed in a hole broke a chain and his
leg was crushed.

TRIAL or DOCTORS SUIT
AGAINST WIFE IS BEGUN
Husband Trying to Get Posses
sion of Property He Says
He Gave as Mortgage

The suit of Dr. Baxter Todd against
his wife, Mary v. L. Todd, for the re-
covery of property valued at $6o,OOO'
was begun yesterday before Judge
Houser of the superior court.
Todd says that July 5, 1895, he Dor
rowed $1,000 from his wife, securing
the loan by what he intended to be
a mortgage on lot Is in the Victor
Heights tract, and forty-flVe lots III
the Occidental Heights tract. He was
to pay the $1,000 back in a year, he al
leges, but declares that when his wife
sold one of the lots for $1,000 and kepl
the money she said she was satisfied
and eXonerated him from repayment.
Later his wife declared that what
he intended to be a mortgage was a
deed of sale, absolute In form, ana
she refused to give up the realty. He
wants the instrument by which he Sc
cured the repayment of the $1,000 de-
clared a mortgage.
Incidental to the suit, letters from
Mrs. Todd, when she was in Florence,
Italy, in company with their daugh-
ter, Lola Todd, who went to Europe
to study music, were introduced. They
mentioned the daughters maestro tax
ing a vacation and of her studying
temporarily with Signor I-forget-his-
name" They also mentioned the diff

WOMAN DECLARES DEEDS
TO REALTY WERE FORGED

Another suit against Victor C.
Henry, who has been in the county
Jail for several weeks on charges of
swindling forging and obtaining
money under false pretenses, his bail
aggregating $26, 500, was filed in the
superior court yesterday.
Clotilde Ginocchio Castruccio is the
plaintiff. She declares that Henry
forged her name to deeds for consid-
cradle realty in the Abbot Kinney tract
and has been using the alleged forged
instruments to obtain various loans.
She names September 3, 1910, as the
time when he placed her name to the
fictitious deeds, which she asks the
court to declare null and void and
which she desires Cancelled.
With Henry as defendants are J.
Roy Choate, J. Lynn Choate, the Title
Insurance and Trust company, D. w.
Sibeck, Eleanor Sibeck and several
others who are designated by Doe,
Roe and words which rhyme The

wants her rights protected.

GARBAGE COLLECTOR IN
HOT WATER WITH BOARD
Alexander Notified to Carry Out
Contract or Pay Penalty
for Failure

Garbage Contractor Charles Alex
ander is in more hot water, this time
with the board of public works. The
board yesterday notified him to comply
with the terms of his contract within
two weeks or it would be forfeited.
The board claims Alexander has been
neglectful of some of the provisions of
his contract-that he does not make
collections from premises as required
by section three of the ordinance un-
der which he operates. This section
requires that garbage cans be placed
not more than fifty feet from the prop
erty line. Instead they are placed on
the curbs and no notice to the con-
trary has been furnished the house"
holders by the contractor, it is said. He
has not filed with the board it alleges,
the boundaries of the collection dis
tricts, as required by his contract.
It is asserted he does not keep a clerk
in his central office from s o'clock in
the morning until o'clock in the
evening, as required by his contract,
and has not given notice to the house
holders of the time and day for col
lecting their garbage.
If Alexander could find some way of
protecting the bond he has filed with
the board of public works for the
faithful performance of his contract,
there is a strong proba ability that he
would fail to observe the requirements
of the board within the time specified,
and let the board declare his contract
forfeited. He finds he has a most dis
agreeable sort of a white elephant on
his hands and would be glad to give
1t up.
Through his attorney, H. J. Goudge,
Alexander has time and again offered
to relinquish the contract, if the coun-
Gil desires, on favorable terms, and
the most favorable terms he has sug-
gested is the protection of his bond.
His contract runs for five years and
only few months of that time has
exOired

The confirmation of these sales, ar
ranged by II. A. Unruh, executor of
the estate, have been continued several
times lately because of the request of
the heirs, who declared they believed
sufficient property already had been
sold to satisfy all claims against the
estate. They offered no objection yes
terday, however, and presumably nave
reached a contrary conclusion after
making the investigation which they
had planned.
The hearing on Unruh's annual ac-
count was postponed for a week. In
that instrument he gives the following
figures: Balance on hand March, 1910,
