PROTEST AGAINST CHANGE
OF NAME OF THOROUGHFARE
CoIegrove Residents Claim That Street
Should Continue to Be Called
Santa Monica Avenue

A vigorous protest against changing
the name of Santa Monica avenue in
Colegrove to Colegrove avenue or to
any other name was filed yesterday
by large number of residents who
would be affected by the change in the
name.
1t has been proposed to change the
name of this street as this district is
now q part of the city of Los Angeles
and there is another Santa Monica
avenue in the southern part of the
city. The protestants state that If it
is necessary to change the name of
either street that it be the one in the
city proper. They say, with some
truth, that Santa Monica avenue in
Los Angeles is Thirtieth street at one
end and a railroad right of way at
the other, that ii begins nowhere and
ends nowhere, while Santa Monica
avenue in Colegrove runs straight
through to Santa Monica.

MAY PROTEST STREET WIDENING

Women of the Friday Morning club
are expected to enter protest against
the widening of Hoover street from
Adams to one block north BY setting
back the curbs on the east side OF the
street a number of magnificent old
trees in front of the clubs property at
Adams and Hoover streets will have
to be cut down. The curb lines were
originally left as they are today when
the rest of the street was widened for
the sole purpose of saving these trees
and it was done at the urgent request
of the Friday Morning club The
agitation begun by the club members
at that time resulted in an order being
given to the city engineer to save trees
on the parkings wherever it was pos
sible.

HAUPT RESIGNS
UNDER PROTEST
BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
LOSES VALUED MEMBER
Contractor Leaves city's Service Be.
cause of Large Private Interests
Demanding a Greater Share
of His Time

With sincerest regrets Mayor Alex
ander yesterday accepted the resigna-
tion Of Paul Haupt as a member of the
board of public utilities. The mayor
pleaded with Mr.. Haupt to reconsider
his resignation, but without success.
The work of the board of public util
tiles is growing more arduous every
day. The three members Of the board,
Meyer Lissner president; f. j. Hart
and Paul Haupt, serve the city without
pay but during the past ten days or
more they have been doing something
every day that required nearly all their
afternoons. They have been going over
the lines of the street railways with
view to determining questions Of
speed and safety devices. There is
still much of this work to be done,
and Mr.. Haupt, who is one of the
largest contractors in the city, feels
he cannot sacrifice his time SO much.
He was criticised in one of the morn
ing papers yesterday for not having
registered as a voter in several years,
although he has been a bona fide resi-
dent Of the city seventeen years.
1t was reported that this fact was to
be made the basis for quo warranto
proceedings to GUST him from office,
but the city attorney is of the opinion
that such proceedings could not be
brought. as the board of public utilities
is created by ordinance and not by
charter, which requires a member of
a commission to be a qualified elector.
Whether or not the quo warranto
proceedings would have any standing
in court, Mr.. Haupt told the mayor
yesterday he did not intend to be ha-
rassed by any legal action to defend
his right to the position.
President Lissner of the board and
the mayor both unite in declaring that
Mr.. Haupts services have been of
great value in the work the utilities
commission has had to do, and both
regret very much that he will not
reconsider his resignation.

Fer Criminal Record of
Harr,6 Mcneil.

Eor the criminal record Of
49, McNeil, former resident of
Bank street, this city, by Detective
Rutcher of Pfttsburg has revealed
some things not hitherto known in
police circles here.
Mcneil is now being held on a
charge of blowing safe and four or
I'VE coed lawyers are trying to clear
him at the present time by establish
ing an alibi. In order to get some
4hing on the man Detective Butcher
z Aas been here conferring with the To-
sal Detectives.
In February, 1909, Mcneil lived in
Petersburg, occupying a home with
bis wife on Bank street. He did not
work while. here and neighbors often
wondered how he managed to exist
and support his wife. a flashly-dressed
woman with hair resembling new
hemp rope.
One night during the month Of
February, a year ago, Mrs. Mcneil
fwent to the Office of DR.. Exline on
Navarro street and told the physician
that her husband had accidentally
shot himself and needed immediate
attention
DR.. Exline responded and found that
a bullet had entered the lower por-
ton of the mans bowels at one side.
and seemed to have passed out
through the other. 1t appeared to be
"a mortal wound and the doctor adj
ssed that the man be taken to a hos

then to their surprise recovery fol-

That Mcneil is desperate man
there is no doubt, for when he was
captured he was surrounded by sew

that his escape was impossible he
hurled a large bottle at the officers,
buk luckily this bottle missed the Of
fcers and lodged in a snow drift.
When it was examined later it was
found TO contain nitroglycerin and
had It struck something solid instead
OF the snow drift the officers would
have been blown to atoms.
A number of Canton people were
found who remembered Mcneil and
his faxen-haired wife.
