WALSH FLIES 4 TIMES
AROUND LOCAL AERAGE
Aero Club of California Has Four
Members with Success
full Flight Records

Charles Walsh of San Diego made
four excellent flights on the grounds
of the Aero club of California at the
Los Angeles motordrome yesterday
afternoon. He had no trouble In r1s-
ing from the ground and in landing
easily in a circumscribed space. He Is
the fourth member of the club to make
actual flights with heavier than air
machines.
AS the starts were made inside the
motordrome Aero club officials are
convinced of the feasibility of holding
a meeting at their aerage, and plans
were discussed last night for a fall
meet some time next month. In addi-
ton to Walsh, George Duesler, J. j.
Slavin and B. E. Roehrig have also
flown their machines. Slavin smashed
his by the breaking Of a propeller when
thirty feet above the ground, but ex-
poets to have the aeroplane repaired
within three weeks. He has made
number of good fights.
A conference of officers Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association,
chamber of commerce and Aero club
of California will be held at the cham
Der of commerce this afternoon to dis
cuss plans for the big aviation meet
in January.

DOG MUzzLING ORDINANCE
UP TO THE HEALTH BOARD
Indications That Measure viii
Soon Be Repealed

The board of health is to be permit
ted to say whether the dog muzzling
ordinance shall be repealed. The coun-
Gil referred the matter to the board by
a vote of five to four. The four mem
bers who objected to the reference
wanted the ordinance repealed in
stanter.
Councilman Gregory was especially
anxious that the ordinance be repealed.
He is a dog fancier, and declares the
practice of putting muzzles on dogs is
inhuman and that it does little good
in the prevention of hydrophobia, be-
cause the disease is chiefly spread by
homeless ours who have no one to buy
a muzzle for them.
The board of health discussed the
muzzling ordinance informally at its
meeting last night, and the consensus
of opinion was that it should be re-
pealed now, so that when it is badly
wanted next year 1t can be re-enacted.
Mayor Alexander said he would vote
for the repeal, as did DIR. Cole and
Prof. Stabler. DR.. Clark favors con-
tinuing the ordinance in force, and
Dr. Powers, the health officer, is
strongly opposed to repeating it.

RED TAPE IN GRANTING
LICENSES LOSS TO CITY
Tax Collector Taggart Suggests
Amendment to Ordinance

An amendment to the license ordi-
nance will save large revenue to the
city, according to a report made to
the council yesterday by Tax Collector
Taggart.
Mr.. Taggart showed the council that
in many instances where businesses
are subject to permits granted by the
police commission or the board Of
health as well as the license ordinance,
it is sometimes q month or more be-
tween the filing of the application for
a permit and the taking out of the IL
cense and that the city loses the rev.
enue of this interval This delay is
occasioned by reason of the necessity
for examination by inspectors and the
red tape required before a permit can
be granted.
The suggested amendment is that an
applicant for a permit be compelled to
deposit the amount of license fee re-
uuired for his business at the time he
makes application, and not when he
takes out his license. If the permit is
not granted the deposit will be re-
turned.
The city attorney was instructed to
incorporate the suggestion into an
amendment to the license ordinance.

WINS DIVORCE FROM WIFE
WHO KICKED HIS NOSE
Husband and Spouse Describe
Fierce Matrimonial Rows

Storeis of physical combats betweeen
husband and wife formed parts of the
testimony offered yesterday before
Judge Unangst of San Luis Obispo,
who, sitting in department four of the
superior court, heard the case of
Charles A. Frey, a chef at the Hotel
Alexandria, against his wife, Collie
Frey, from whom he obtained dt-
Vorce.
Frey alleged cruelty, declaring that
his wife had kicked him in the nose,
bitten his arm and shot him in the
forehead.
Auditors held their breath while the
husband told of the wife's shooting
him, and looked askance at the woman,
who contested his action, making a
counter complaint of cruelty and ask
ing alimony.
When the wife had her chance on
the witness stand she produced the
weapon with which she was allaged to
have shot her husband in the fore
head. 1t was an air gun. She also re-
lated alleged acts of cruelty, which
included his throwing her out of bed
with such violence that her little toe
was broken, and then sitting on her
chest 1t was then, she averred, that
in self-defense she bit his arm.
Judge Unangst granted decree to
the husband and directed that both
sides be ready for a property settle
ment today.

GARBAGE STATION CASE
BEING HEARD IN COURT
Testifies That Reload
ing Depot MenaCes Health
of NeighborhoOd

When the case involving the re-
moval or maintenance of the garbage
reloading station at Macy and Ander-
son streets was called for trial yester-
day in Judge McCormick's department
of the superior court, the room was
we'll filled with residents of that sec
tion, who join L. r. and E. Alderman
in their connection that the place is
q public nuisance.
Their action is directed against
Charles A. Alexander, who holds the
contract with the city for the collec-
ton of garbage, and who, according
to the terms of the agreement, must
take it five miles from the city limits
and therefore has a reloading station
where it is taken from wagons and
placed upon cars.
DR.. G.. j. Speere, who said he has
been a practicing physician for thir-
teen years, was one of the witnesses
whose testimony occupied much time
yesterday He told of having been
called to attend the children Of the
Spanish mission school, which is To-
Gated in that district. 1t was about
April Is, he said that the children
began to complain of the odors alleged
to arise from the reloading station,
their complaint being followed by their
growing wan and sick and being af-
flicted with lassitude.
He took the temperatures of 20 chill
dren, he testified, finding that thirteen
of them had temperatures ranging from
991s to 10115 A few days later, he
said, many of them were six in bed.
He ordered the school closed.
The doctor said he called the atten-
ton of the board of health to the
school and representatives of that
body agreed with him that the con-
dition of the children could have been
caused by nothing else than the re-
loading station.
Dr. Speere and his wife, both OF
whom are entomologists, took boxful
of flies, which they said they had
caught near the garbage station, to
the courtroom, but Judge Mccormick
refused to permit the insects to be
introduced as evidence. The Speeres
said that of the insects found around
an ordinary collection of garbage eS.S
per cent are houseflies, but that the
insects about the reloading station are
only 65 per cent houseflies, the others
being of a more dangerous kind.
There are about 40 witnesses, inciud-
ing DR.. L. M. Powers, city health Of
ficer and many of the inspectors or
the board of health, who have been
eubpoenaed. If they all are exam
ined, the case will continue not less
than q week.

CITY MAY ELIMINATE 8
JOBS FOR LACK OF FUNDS

Three positions OF some Importance
apparently have been eliminated by
the lack of funds, for the police de-
partment and Police Commissioners Da-
wilson and Johnson yesterday asked
the council to defer action on passing
the salary ordinance of the police de-
partment until this is investigated.
The places that are minus seem to
be property clerk, police icense inspec-
tor and detective at San Pedro. In
addition stenographer to the license
inspector and two foot guards are
eliminated.
The police commission believes the
budget allowance may be large enough
to cover these positions after all and
will do some figuring before present.
