BLACK NANNY!

Let us raise shining statue
To Black Nanny and Uncle Nose.
Who taught Us gay white children
How TO put on our fine clothes
And make mud pies and rabbit traps
And how to sing and dance
When youth held every pleasure
And life was in a trance,
NV heart beats back 10 childhood
And that Blue Grass sunny land.
When banning old Black Nanny
Held rue by my trembling hand
And led me through the meadows
In search o. birds and flowers.
Or held me IN her loving arms
Through sleeping sunny hours!
And through the fearful civil war
That SCARED our happy land
Black Nanny and dear Uncle Nose
stood by us hand in hand.
Not knowing whether Blue OF Gray
Were really right or wrong.
But doing every duty
With the sweetness Of a sorg!
Then rear on high a monument
To truth and trust and love
And on 10 place Black Nanny.
With her spirit far above.
And by her side old Nose must stand.
In laughing ebony hue.
To gloTify tho picture
OF a pair 80 fond and true!

NEW POLICE CHIEF
STILL UNDISCOVERED
COMMISSION FAILS TO NAME
DEPARTMENT HEAD
Stock of E. H. Barmore, President of
Los Angeles Transfer Co.,
Given Boost by the
Delay

Again regular meeting of the po-
lice commission passed last night
without the appointment of chief OF
police and still Captain c. E. Dixon
is acting in that capacity.
The failure of the commission to
take action last night caused drop in
the DR.. w. ]. Chambers stock and a
corresponding boom in that of e. H.
Barmore, president of the Los Angeles
Transfer company. 1t is known that
Mr.. Barmore, DR.. Chambers and Alex
anaer Galloway have been the three
whose names have been most promi-
nently mentioned in the secret ses-
sions of the police commission, but
every indication pointed to the elim1-
nation of all but DR.. Chambers, and 1t
was confidently expected he would be
named last night.
Three votes of the commission are
all that are necessary to select a chlef,
and the commission is the sole factor
in the matter, as it does not require
confirmation by the council as do
other appointments. But the commits
sion always strives to have the matter
of the selection of q chief unanimous.
The fact that the commission held
a long secret session before the public
meeting indicated that the question OF
the chief was uppermost. as there We're
no other important matters to be con-
sidered.

RESIDENTS RESUME
STORM WATER PROTEST
Citizens Want Council to Establish
Municipal Ferry on Estrella
Avenue

Residents in the vicinity of Twenty
first street and Estrella avenue have
asked the council either to establish a
municipal ferry at that point or take
some action for the abatement of storm
water nuisance,
They declare that several years ago
a cement sidewalk was constructed
at this place six inches below the
grade of the street, and that it forms
a reservoir sixty-five feet long on Es-
trella and twenty-five feet on Twenty
second street that is impossible in
the rains.
They represent that the neighbors
cut bitches into the lot behind the
sidewalk, which was also below the
grade of the street. and drained off
the water, but that some time ago
II. Wiesendanger constructed a build
ing on the lot and cut down the park
ing which they had used as a. sort of
bridge to the grade of the sidewalk
and cemented it over, making a ce-
ment lined reservoir from which the
water must evaporate before it disap-
pears.
The same matter was once before
brought to the attention of the board
Of public works and referred to the
engineer. The engineer reported that
Wiesendanger had constructed the
sidewalk without obtaining a permit
to do so, and the board asked the city
attorney for an opinion. The attorney
declared that Wiesendanger was sub
1ect to arrest and prosecution. The
matter was then referred to the in
spector of public works. but no fur
ther action has been taken.

STATE BUILDINGS IN
PARK READY IN 1912
ELLERY is OPTIMISTIC ABOUT
BIG STRUCTURES
Declares $15o,ooo Appropriated for an
Armory in Los Angeles Is
Only About Half
Enough

The state exposition buildings at
Agricultural park will soon be real
ity, according to N. Ellery, state engi-
neer af California, who is staying at
the Hotel Alexandria.
1.-THE plans for the buildings will be
submitted within the next thirty days
for bids, and as soon as they are ac-
cepted we will begin work." said Mr..
Ellery. ''The buildings will be iron
and brick structures and will surpass
anything of their kind. both architec-
turally and in construction, in the
country. The drawing of the plans,
which is being done in the state areh1-
tect's office at Sacramento, is being
rushed and will be finished within two
or three weeks.
1t is expected that the buildings will
be completed within two years.
When asked as to the new armory
building to be built in Los Angeles,
Mr.. Ellery stated that the $150,00O ap-
propriated is not enough to build the
kind of q building which should be
erected in Los Angeles. ITO put UP q
building which Los Angeles needs for
that purpose we should have at least
$500, 900. / do not feel like going ahead
and building a cheap building which
would not be credit to the city" said
Mr.. Ellery.
The purpose of Mr.. Ellery's trip to
Los Angeles is to inspect the new
buildings which are being added to the
state hospital at Patton.

CLAIM Pc. ROAD
FRANCHISE VOID
IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY ASKS
PERMIT BE FORFEITED
Declares Company Violates Ordinance
by Failing to Provide FIagmen or
Gates at Crossings on the
Long Beach Line

= Demanding the council declare the
Pacific Electric franchise for the Long
Beach line forfeited, the Sixth Ward
Central Improvement association filed
a petition yesterday bitterly arraign-
ing the Pacific Electric for killing four
people in the last ten months in Long
Beach avenue, between Ninth street
and Slauson Junction, and for failing
to observe the terms of it's franchise
1t is for failure to comply with the
ordinance granting the franchise that
the petitioners claim the franchise is
void and ask the council to declare 1t
forfeited.
They allege the franchise has been
violated repeatedly in that the rail-
way has failed to provide fagmen,
gates or v,-rning bells at any of the
points on the Long Beach line except
where it feared its own cars would be
damaged by collision with cross-town
cars, that it habitually runs it's cars
at = speed of twenty-five miles an
hour, although the franchise ordinance
limits the speed to eight miles, that
fumes and culyerts required by the
franchise never have been constructed
and that it has raised the bed of its
tracks four feet above the grade or
Vernon avenue, which also is con-
trary to the provisions of the ordl-
nance.
Mrs. Ella Mills also wants the coun-
ell to forfeit the franchise of the Los
Angeles-Pacific granted by the board
of supervisors for an extension OF the
line at Western and Santa Monica
avenues in Colegrove.
Mrs. Mills declares the Los Angeles
Pacific built it's tracks in the gutter
in front of her property for the sole
purpose of causing her to deed por-
ton of her property to widen the street
for the benefit of the railway This,
she says, is a violation of the terms
and spirit of the franchise, and it IS
on this ground she asks it be forfeited.
When the Los Angeles-Pacihc Sc
cured its franchise at this point Cole
grove was not part of the city, but
since that time this territory has be-
come a part of the city. When the
boardR of public works found the rail-
way was building its tracks in the
gutter it sent a force of policemen to
prevent the work.

SUES FOR A LARGER
SHARE OF ESTATE
Wife of Travelling Freight Agent
Claims That Half Brother
Used Undue Influence
on Mother

Legal proceedings preliminary to the
beginning of a legal contest over the
will of the late Emily A. Billings were
instituted yesterday, when Lillia May
Billings Lonergan, wife of f. T. Loner-
gan, travelling freight agent at Chlca-
go for the Great Northern Railroad
company, filed a petition in the pro-
bate division of the superior court to
revoke the probate Of the will as the
first step in determining why she was
given a bequest of only $1,000 out of an
estate valued at eighty times that
amount.
Mrs. Lonergan Is an adopted daugh-
ter of the deceased, and her fight in
court will be directed against her half
brother, Frederick Horatio Billings.
AGAINST whom she makes accusations
of unduly influencing her stepmother
against her.
The will is dated October 2, 1909, and
was probated November Is. By its
terms Mrs. Lonergan was to receive
$1,000, an explanation of the compara-
lively small bequest being that she had
already received large amounts and
had been given a furnished home in
Los Angeles. The remainder of the
$50 900 estate was left to the son, who
also was named as executor.
Mrs. Lonergan asserts the Will was
not properly attested or signed in the
presence of witnesses, that Billings
used undue influence and that Mrs.
Bfllings was of unsound mind and
wholly incompetent when the document
was drawn up.
