CUT THE MUSTARD HOT
SLOGAN OF SAN PEDRO
Council Told That If Foliage Stays
Seaboard Is Threatened
with a Big Fire

"Cut the mustard" w. M. Hum
phreys, Inspector of public works,
hurled this demand at the council yes
terday morning In clarion tones.
"Cut the mustard at San Pedro, for
IL you don't there will be fire down
there some day that will leave mighty
little of the harbor town." he contin-
ued.
San Pedro people have been demand
ing that the board of public works
shoulder scythes and sickles and go
doWn~to the harbor town and cut the
rank growth of mustard that becomes
a serious fire menace when 1t dries.
Last year the San Pedro city council
appropriated $500 to do this work, but
now 1t is the duty of Los Angeles to
look after the weeds.
Councilman Andrews was opposed to
appropriating any money for the pur-
pose at San Pedro because just before
consolidation the San Pedro officials
reduced the assessment at that place
to such a degree that Los Angeles viii
have to spend $4,000 of its own money
to maintain the branch government.
But Councilman Washburn assured
Mr. Humphreys that If he would esti-
mate the cost at a low figure he would
personally introduce a resolution to
appropriate the money and as Mr..
Washburn is chairman of the finance
committee what he says on things of
that kind usually go.

several Of the nearby counties, accompanied
by his manager, Douglas White Reports in
dlcate that he received enthusiastic well
come in San Bernardino and other so-called
stronghods Of Phil A. Stanton. who also is
supposed to be a--if not the-Republican ma
chine candidate for governor.
Mr. Curry insists he will receive not only
the Republican nomination. but that he will
do so by an absolute majority OF all the Re-
publican votes cast.
Friends of Phil A. Stanton have maintained
a peculiar silence since Mr.. Curry's arrival in
Southern California, and are anxiously
watching the results Of his tour, as reflected
in ths press OF the citrus fruit belt, where
Mr.. Curry has been indirectly campaigning the
last few days.
The attitude OF the press in San Bernardino,
Redlands. Ontario, eto.. is especially interest
ing to the Stanton men. because 1t is on Mr..
stanton's pro-Japanese record that he expects
to make strong showing in this section OF
California.
curry's friends dispute that this showing
will be sufficient to win Stanton the nomina-
tion, and already are reported to be claiming
the citrus region ms decidedly pro-Curry.
Lincoln Roosevelt men, the other hand.
have found unusually strong support in
that section and many Of the newspapers
there encouraging Hiram W. Johnson,
league candidate This would indicate that
the Republican vote in the citrus belt is ex-
tremely divided. while on the other hand many

for governor.
Mr.. Bell and the state central COMMITTEES

HUNTINGTON MUST DROP
JOHN DOES ACQUAINTANCE
Council Declares Magnate Him
self Must Seek Franchises

II consigning a protest to oblivion means
that the council does not approve those mat
ters contained in the protest and It usually
does. the recommendation Of the board Of
public utilities that only persons who intend
to own and operate transportation lines be
given street car franchises will be adopted
by the council. The protest of the Los An
geles realty board against such a drastic
move was filed yesterday
The import of the recommendation is that
II Mr.. Huntington wants a street car fran
chlse he must ask for 1t himself, and no fran
chise viii be granted 10 John Doe when John
intends to turn 1t over TO Mr.. Huntington
and slip Mr.. Huntington something on the side
to operate a street line out in his sub
division. John has been getting all the fran
chises In the past from the council, but it
has been noticed that Mr.. Huntington's cars
ran them.
The realty board still wants John to apply
and pay for the franchises, for Mr.. Hunting
ton has said he will not do IT, and II no
franchises are granted new subdivisions on
car outskirts OF the city cannot have street
car SERVICE and there is a fear that this may
retard the city's growth.

| WANT TO HANG,'
WH|NES MURDERER.
WretChed Wirth Cries Guilty as
His Plea and Begs Moose
Instead of Prison
MISERABLE MAN IN CHAINS
Slayer Whose Heels Crushed
Woman'S Head Covers
in the Courtroom

II don't want to go to prison. I want
to be hanged" This, in grief-stricken
tones which broke In spite Of his efforts
to remain calm, was the reply of Err
nest Wirth to Judge Willis Of the Grim
inal court yesterday, when asked If he
wished the court to appoint an attorney
for him. Wirth is the man who stamped
out the brains of Hattie Wirth, his
wife, last Friday morning in the Trav-
ers rooming house at 539 East Fifth
street.
Wirth was arraigned in the police
court in the morning, and at his own
request was given a chance to plead
before Judge Willis of the superior
court in the afternoon. He was taken
to both courts in irons and was heavily
! guarded by deputy sheriffs, by whom
he is considered a dangerous man.
When he was taken from the county
Jail to the criminal court d curious
crowd gathered to see the man who mad
committed such an awful crime as that
to which he pleads guilty. Spectators
| looked at him in horror-stricken 81
lence, fascinated with the mans glance
as though he were dangerous animal
| in chains.
Every person who saw him glanced at
were any signs of the human blood
which clung to them when he was ar
rested. But he wore new shoes in
place of those that had ground wom-
ans head to pulp.
DEATH IN HIS EYES
on his way to the court room Wirth
walked steadily, looking straight ahead.
When spoken to by his guards he
smiled in pathetic way and appeared
anxious to do anything they wished.
| The smile was not in his eyes, how
ever, for they had an agonized look.
He had the appearance of man 10
whom death would be welcome, and
showed a feverish anxiety to atone lor
his bloody deed with his own life.
When he faced Judge Willis the court
room was crowded, but there was not a
whisper He looked directly at the
| Judge as though fascinated, and never
| took his eyes off his honor's face.
Judge Willis commenced to explain
the charge against him, and his rights
in court, but Wirth in low voice, with
his hands shaking with the nervous
strain, suddenly interrupted:
II am guilty" he whined, "and |
don't want any lawyer. want to plead
guilty and get 1t done with"
You can demand a trial." said Judge
Willis. "and have lawyer to represent
YOU. You understand that, of course?'
IT don't want to go to prison." re-
heated Wirth, "I want to be executed.
/ am guilty, so 1 don't need any law
yer" ,,, 49,.
"All right" said Judge Willis, you
can plead guilty and be hanged"
The charges against him were for
mally read and he was presented with
a copy. He paid little attention to
them and did not open the paper.
MAKES PLEA OF GUILTY
"I plead guilty" he said in answer
to the formal query.
"When do you want to be sem
tenced?" asked the court.
"W-what will be the sentenceY'
asked Wirth anxiously.
"Tn vour case l can sentence you to
DEATH" replied the judge. How much
time do you want?'
Relief showed in Wirth's face, on be-

DER CHAIL BITZNESS
Vim HANS Won WIFE
Prisoners in County Jail Regret
Release of DouSer, Who Was
a 'Highvayman Roper

There is mourning at the county jail from
Jaier Gallagher down to the humblest
trusty The sentence of little Hans Douser,
beloved for his skill in the Jail kitchen, ex-
plred yesterday and he is at liberty. Back Of
Hans arrest and sentence lies story that
escaped the police reporters and has caused
attaches of the county jail much amusement.
Hans was in Jail because he INDUCED in an
eastern beer once too often and got into a
suit Of clothes belonging to his rival In love
in order that he might court the object OF his
affections 10 better advantage. The rival
discovered that his room, which adjoined
Hans, in an Ann street rooming house, had
been entered and excitediy reported TO the
police over the telephone in German and
broken English that ne had ''been held up
nit a highway roper" Later discovering
little Douser in the parior entertaining the
landlady the still further aroused rival in
formed the police that "de roper was COR
nered in a room NIT guns and tings."
That was all the police heard or understood
The old black Maria" was sent to the place.
Hans, basking in the smiles of his hearts
desire, was surrounded by police. hauled in
gloriousiy from the room in sight of his
sweetheart and booked at the city prison on
a charge Of grand larceny. Testimony In
his trial developed the fact that petty larceny
had been committed instead OF grand larceny
and Douser received Jail sentence.
He asked for pen and paper shortly after
his confinement and penned a burning epistle
to his lady love. She arrived at the jail
building next day in a pouring rain, her rose-
trimmed hat drenched and dripping. "He
amt no criminal" stoutly declared the
buxom widow to Jailer Gallagher. BEST
Teller in the world I'll marry him for this"
From the moment OF her visit Hans face
wore the smile that won't come of. His cook
ing improved to such an extent that attaches
at the jail dreaded his release and regretted
his short sentence His parting words as the
jail door changed behind him yesterday were:
"It vas der Wedding bells NIT me, and der

know 1t was cut from his head last
night while he slept in cell 13 with his
brain pan propped against the cold
bars. Thereby hangs tale. It's solu-
tion Is still a mystery. Eight white
prisoners, from hobos to chicken
thieves, occupy the cell next to his,
while his two oriental companions with
whom he was captured and convicted
of Illegal entry into this country, share
cell No. 13.
Woo is the Chinese who held the i'm
migration authorities at bay six hours
Monday under a battery of questions
with a vivid story of twenty-four years
residence In San Francisco. Not until
he weakened on his knowledge of the
geography of the country did he and
his companions draw government passes
to China, minus return slips. His
friends, whose fate hung on Woo's
story, were indignant and disgusted
when they realized Woo's memory had
failed him. They upbraided him Sc
verely. Deputy United States Marshal
Bert Franklin, who speaks Chinese al
most fluently, overheard one of them
remark that Woo deserved to lose his
queue. AS a consequence the county
Jail attaches are inclined to believe
that the Chinese had a hand in the
shearing. But where they obtained the
shears If they are responsible for the
hair cutting is another mystery un-
solved.
International complications may de-
velop, for Woo declares in broken Eng
lish that he will lose his head If he goes
