CATHOLICS CELEBRATE
IN ST. FRANCIS HONOR
Annual Observance of Portiun.
cuIa Indulgence Begins in
Several City Churches

The annual celebration of the Por-
tiuncula Indulgence began yesterday
afternoon at sunset and will continue
until sunset today. This is a Fran
ciscan feast that obtains its name from
the Portiuncula, or Little Church at
Assist where ST. Francis established
the Franciscan order and where he re-
ceived the bestowal of the indulgence,
which has become known by that
name.
Local interest is added to the feast,
as il was on August that the river,
now known as the Los Angeles, was
discovered and called the Portluncula,
by which name 1t was known until the
coming of the Americans who, unable
to master the pictureque name be-
slowed by the Franciscan padres, re-
named it. The city itself received its
name from the Church of Our Lady of
Angels at Assist, where st. Francis
conducted his work.
This year. in celebration of the Tooth
anniversary of the establishment of the
Order of the Franciscan monasteries,
or the Franciscan order, as 1t is more
Familiarity known the pope has ordered
that the celebration of the POrtiuncula
indulgence be general in all Catholic
churches.
In st. Joseph's, the only Franciscan
church in Los Angeles, four masses
will be celebrated this morning at s, Z,
s and a solemn high mass at $3.50
o'clock, at which the Rev. Casian Tritz,
o. F. NJ, will preach the sermon in
English. Father Leonard, o. F. NJ, of
Santa Barbara will be the celebrant
and the Rev. John Koerner, formerly Of
ST. Louis but now of Santa Barbara,
will assist in the mass. A short devo-
tional service will be held this evening.
At the Cathedral of st. Vibiana the
usual masses will be celebrated at 6,
$50, Z and 7:3O o'clock, with a rosary,
litany and benediction in the evening.
A mass will be celebrated at o'clock
at ST. Vincent's church by the Rev. P.
H. Mcdonald, c. M, followed by bene-
dictiOn.
The pope has also decreed that those
unable to gain the indulgence today
may have the same privilege from sun
set Saturday to sunset Sunday.

CHARGE VIOLATION
Of LIGHTING RATE
Corporation Collectors Accused
of Receiving Money Under
Repealed Ordinance
TEST OF LAW INTlMATED
Company Head Asserts That if
Information Is True, Acts
Are Due to Mistake

Several complaints Of overcharging
by collectors of the Edison Electric
company and the Pacific Light and
Power company were received by City
Prosecutor Guy Eddie yesterday in
which it was charged the men were
collecting on the basis of cents a
kilowatt hour instead of z cents, as
is provided in the new ordinance.
Complaints charging an employe of
each company with violating the light
rate ordinance, which was put into
effect July 1, were issued shortly be-
fore o'clock yesterday afternoon. s.
c. Haber, collector for the Edison
Electric company, is charged in the
complaint with collecting accounts of
customers at a 9-cent a kilowatt hour
rate. +. B. Goodrich collector for the
Pacific Light and Power company. is
accused of charging customers of the
company for the recarbonizing of, in
candescent lamps, which is In violation
of the ordinance.
Warren D. Wood, head of the con-
tract department of the Edison Elec-
trio company, when asked concerning
reports received by Prosecutor Eddie,
stated that "he didn't know anything
about it."
j. Homer Sampson, acting chief col
1eCtOr OF the Paclnc Light anu POWER
company, was more willing to talk of
the matter than Wood. He explained
that "if anything of that kind has
occurred, it is through the mistake Of
the collectors. The new rate of seven
cents did not go into effect until the
first of July" he said, "and we have
had considerable confusion in making
out the new bills. Or perhaps the Gus
toners have become confused by an
old bill under the old rate and the new
rate which did not become effective
until July" he continued.
1t is understood that the power COM
panies will make test cases of the two
charges which have been preferred
against their respective employees. The
Pacific Light and Power company will
attack the part of the ordinance re-
lating to the charge being made to
customers for the recarbonizing of in
candescent lamps, and the Edison COM
pany will attack the reduction in the
rate.

.OSTEOPATHS WAR
WITH ALLOPATHS
Seek Recognition of 0steopathic
College by County Through
Free Treatment
SUPERVISORS DELAY ACTION
DR.. KresS, Representing Hospital
Staff, Reads Lengthy Pro-
test to Board
SUPERVISORS DELAY ACTION

The osteopaths and the allopaths
went to bat before the county board of
supervisors yesterday, and after each
side had an inning, the board post
poned action in the matter wherein
the ostopaths seek permission to prac-
tice in the county hospital.
c. A. Whiting, representing the os-
teopaths, recently requested the board
to permit him to appoint an osteopath
to treat a patient in the county hos
pital. The treatment was to be free
of charge to the county but it would
give the osteopathic college recogni-
tion. The board tabled the matter un-
til yesterday when lengthy protests
against the admission of osteopaths
to the county hospital We're made by
DIR. A. S. Lobingier, representing the
Los Angeles County Medical associa-
tion, and by DR.. George H. Kress,
representing the hospital medical staff.
DR.. Grace Wyckoff was the only
osteobath at the hearing.
DR.. Kress, the representative of the
hospital staff. held the boards close
attention as he read page after page
of lengthy protest. The staff's con-
tention is that if the osteopaths were
allowed to practice in the county insti-
tuition it would virtually be giving the
hospital into the control of minority
of the medical profession; that the
physical welfare and comfort of citi-
zens who are i'll and injured, and for
whom the county hospital primarily
exists. would not be bettered but
would be made worse, and that if the
osteopaths were recognized the result
would be that the great mass of the
educated profession in this city would
be antagonistic to the hospital and its
methods, and further, that the great
mass of the citizens would share these
prejudices.
Or. Grace wyckoff only spoke once
and this was to inform the board that
she had done a good deal of charity
work, contrary to the statement OF Dr.
Kress that very little charity work
was done by the osteopaths. Follow
ing this short statement by the osteo-
path, DIR. c. H. Whitman, superinten-
dent of the county hospital, informed
the board that the woman who had
first asked for osteopathic treatment in
the county hospital, had placed herself
under the charge of an osteopath and
is now paying S12 per week for treat
ment.
After DR.. Ilobingier had registered
the protest of the Los Angeles County
Medical association, Chairman Nellls
of the board said:
"a while ago I went on record
against the osteopaths and still stand
the same way. I'm for the allo-
paths"
Supervisor Eldridge then said
IT move you this whole thing be
eliminated. Let the medical fraternity
take care of the county hospital as 1t
has done for the past twenty-five
years. When the osteopaths make a
showing, then let them in the gates ,
After a short discussion, the board
took the matter under advisement
