PROPOSED NEW RULES FOR
maintenance OF STREETS
ReoiIing of Wornout Highways
Must Be Paid For

New rules for the maintenance of
streets are to be laid down if the council
approves the report of the streets and
boulevards committee. This report is
based on suggestions submitted to the
committee yesterday by w. M. Humph-
reys, chief inspector of public works,
and applies especially to oiled and
graveled streets.
The city is to oil and maintain all
gravel and macadam streets that have
been improved under specifications 70
or 81 or better.
The city is to make every reasonable
effort to cause all unlmproved thor
oughfares to be improved, but until
this is done the city will oil the road
ways to such an extent as will give re-
lief to the travelling public
For all natural soil oiled streets that
are worn out or need reoiling the prop
erty owners will be required to pay for
whatever oil or work may be necessary.
The property owners are to have the
option of having this work done by
private contract or by the city. If per-
formed by the city the property own
ers must prepay the costs at the rate
of 5 cents a square yard.

COMMISSION C0MMENDS
ACT OF BRAVE FIREMAN
Board May Establish a Roll of
Honor for Department

The fire commission believes 1t is
good policy to commend as we'll as
condemn, and yesterday the commits
sion spread vote Of thanks on its
minutes to Fireman II. c. Powelson Of
engine company No. l. for heroic con
duct.
Capt. T. ]. Mcdonald Of the engine
company reported to the commission
yesterday that while responding to a
telephone alarm, at 1927 West Eleventh
street, May "a, the team attached to
the truck which was driven by Hose
man 7. Healy ran away. Mcdonald
was on the engine with Powelson, close
to the runaway. He ordered Powelson
to stop the team. and the fireman did
so at the risk of his life.
In connection with this act, Chief
Eley suggested to the commission that
a roll of honor be established in the
department for courageous conduct
His plan is to keep account of the
acts of the firemen during the year,
and at the end of the year those who
have attained a certain percentage for
courage will be placed on the roll of
honor. This plan appealed strongly to
the commission, and the committee of
the whole win take up the subject
and work out the idea.

OUTLINES NEW PLAN FOR
REPAIR OF BROKEN WALKS

plan to rebuild the many broken
sidewalks about the city without
resorting to the tedious detail and long
delay of the Vrooman act, was sug
gested to the streets and boulevards
committee by w. NJ Humphreys, chief
inspector of public works, yesterday.
Councilmen Gregory and Andrews, the
members of the committee, who heard
the plan, were much pleased with it.,
and will recommend it to the council
for adoption.
Mr.. Humphreys idea is for the city
to rebuild the sidewalks. and after the
work is done assess the cost against
the property owners. This will OBJ
viate the necessity of the legal proceed
ings necessary under the Vrooman act,
and will make the work much less eX-
pensiVe on this account.

News of the Courts
FIGHTS To GET BACK
MONEY GIVEN DAUGHTER
Herman Drummer, Sued for d.
vorce, Files Cross Complaint
Involving $4,000

With the permission of Judge Hut
ton of the divorce court, attorneys for
Herman Brunner who is being sued
for divorce by Louise Brunner, filed
an amended cross complaint in the su-
perior' court yesterday in which they
included the daughter, Teresa, with
Mrs. Drummer in the contest, which in
wolves property valued at 100000
In the complaint the attorneys allege
that Mrs. Brunner has signed over
notes and mortgages aggregating $50,
600 i'm value to Teresa Drummer. They
declare that although she made the
property over to the daughter she still
uses the interest from the notes and
mortgages. The husband alleges that
all of the property belongs to him, and
the bringing of the daughter into the
action is for the purpose of recovering
what has been given to her, the father
considering the gifts a great injustice

ENFORCE DEPARTMENTS
RULES, SAYS COMMISSION
Chief EIey Instructed to Call At
tention to InfraCtionS

Some of the rules of the fire depart
ment are not being obeyed, and the
commission yesterday instructed Chief
Eley to call the attention of the COM
manding officers Of the various COM
panies to these deflections.
This matter was brought to the at
tention of the commission by Commits
sioner Hawley. He said that the rule
forbidding the firemen to congregate in
front of the engine houses or on ada
cent property was flagrantly violated.
TT does not look right for lot of
able bodied men to be seen sprawltng
on the grass in front of japanese
boarding house, as is the case all the
time at No. g." he said
The rule forbidding members of the
department to solicit the interference of
members of the commission in transfers
from one house to another is not
obeyed, nor is the one forbidding the
men to wear emblems of fraternal or
ganizations with their uniforms. These
rules must be lived up to strictly
hereafter, says the commission.

MYSTERIOUS GRANVILLE
HITS OFFICER WITH CUE
Deputy Marshal John KeppeI
Locks Prisoner in Cell
and CoIIapSeS

Charged with assault to murder
Denutv Marshal John Keppel of Re
dondo Beach, Thomas Granville OF
Redondo Beach was brought to the
county Jail last night by Marshal Lee
Stanchfeld. Granville is accused OF
striking officer Keppel over the head
with a billiard cue at 1870 O'Clock yes
terday morning in billiard hail be-
cause the officer admonished him not
to make so much noise. Keppel was IN
a semi-conscious condition yesterday,
but his physician said last night that
the officers mind is clear and he Will
recover unless complications set IN.
Kennel. who is a brother of Mark
Keppel, county superintendent OF
schools, was on night duty. A nuInoer
of rowdies in the pool hall we're making
considerable noise and hepPel WaLneo t'd
them to desist. He is said to nave
singled out Granville, who took Of
fense. Keppel returned to the hall a
few minutes later and as he LETT the
place Granville is said to have stolen up
behind him and hit him with the
handle of a cue. Keppel fell TO the
floor unconscious, remaining in that
condition for some time. Bystanders
seized Granville and held him until the
officer came to and then they turned
their prisoner over to him. Keppel
placed Granville in the Redondo Beach
city jail only a block distant, then
collapsed.
Granville was arraigned before JUS
tice of the Peace L. F. Wells of Re
dondo Beach yesterday afternoon on a
complaint sworn to by Keppel. His
bail was fixed at $4,000, which he was
unable to furnish. He has been a
resident of Redondo Beach for many
years, but left the city and returned
only two months ago. He was en-
ploved on the wharves here as long
shoreman and was known as "Mysteri-
Gus Granville" because of his reticence
about telling anything concerning his
life. He is about 40 years of age

contest. These prizes include a $500
home, $33SO Knox Tourabout,
double trip to and through the Orient,
double trips to Honolulu, Alaska and
Mexico City, a $3.50 Lindemann Grand
piano. a $3.50 Columbia Graphophone,
a $500 bank account and $6OO manoS-
any dining room set. All these prizes
are things anyone, no matter What
position in life he or she may hold,
can enjoy.
Balloting has been on some weeks for
these prizes, but at this stage of the
contest a careful investigation of lead
ing totals reveals golden opportunities
for brand new candidates. The very
highest prize in the contest-the $53OO
home--is being led for by an astound-
ingly small total. In turning in new
subscriptions and classified coupon
book certificates in clubs, candidate
gets, in addition to the 40 regular
votes on every dollar, a club extra of
500 votes on the dollar, making club
dollar worth $40 votes.
Thus a club of ten new yearly sub
scriptions calls for 3350O votes, and
LESS THAN NINE CLUBS IS LEAD
ING FOR THE HOME! In view of
such conditions no really live man,
woman or child has any excuse for not
getting in and winning. When one
takes into consideration that there are
four capital prizes and eight grand
prizes with every total leading for
each prize even more out of proportion
than the total which leads for the
home, the multiplicity of opportunities
offered becomes apparent.
If you are now a participant in The
Heraid's contest you need no warning
to do your very best at this time
that the only mistake you can make
is to rest upon your oars; that what
is done now has a greater value than
1t will at any time later. But If you
are not candidate or have been con-
tent to remain inactive you should get
into communication with The contest
department Immediately and learn why
action now is so important.

this is the crown prince of Some Faroh

anyone is liable to be IA crown prince. But
here is where the plot thickens-this young

est leader of such a contest in the United

he's leading for The Heralds $500 home
don't crowd, young ladies, don't crowd
there's plenty of time. Taking his age and
the position he now occupies into eonHide-
ration he has scored a record which will
go down into contest history. OF course,
now that Master Graham has done all this,
numerous grown folks, including his daddy
and his daddy's friends, may have the idea
they've helped some, but--here, lean down
don't believe them. Yes, indeed, it's n great
record Master Graham has established. And

would forever stop the trafficking in
legislation. There would be no object
in defeating just and fair law in
the legislature, for the people would
enact it themselves, if their represen.

Nor would it be worth while to log
roll an unjust or vicious law through
the legislature. for the people could
repudiate it and set it aside.
PrudentIy Silent.
On these vital questions Gov. Eber-
hart is prudently silent. His political
friends would surely resent it if he
should indicate the least disposition
to favor such thorough-going reforms.
But he doesn't hesitate to express his
misgivings about our primary law.
But venture to predict that any leg.
islature elected in this state, particu.
larly when the people are as much
awake on political questions as they
are in this campaign, will not take any
chances by modifying our primary
law to any great extent. Our. pri-
mary law has been disastrous to the
political bosses and ward heeIers.
Their occupation is almost gone, but
the people, on the whole, are pretty
we'll satisfied with it and are not
half so worried about the expense it
entails as is the governor.

The startling thing to my mind is
that it is not the law today. AS a
