RESIDENTS RENEW WAR ON
RUSSIANS NIGHT CHANTS
Persons Petition City to StifIe the
Foreigners YelIs

Residents of the district known as
"The Flat" and which lies on the east
river bank, extending back to Boyle
Heights, appeared before the public
welfare committee of the city council
yesterday afternoon to renew their pro-
tests previously made before the police
commission against the actions of
members of the Russian colony. These
Russians, it is said, belong to curious
religious sect, an important part of
their devotions being weird chants,
sung at all hours of the night, dances
and just plain yells. Property owners
in the vicinity say that the condition
is fast becoming intolerable and ex-
plain that the police refuse to inter
fere on the ground that they are
powerless to do so under existing or
dinances.
1t is said that the Russians huddle
together, several families in a single
small house. One instance is cited of
q house containing only three rooms
and which yet gave shelter to no fewer
than twenty-eight individuals of both
sexes and three generations.
The matter was referred to the city
attorney, who will be asked to draw
up an ordinance which may be invoked
to put a stop to the abuses alleged.

BREAD, LIQUOR, CHICKEN,
PEANUTS, NEGRO'S MENU
After Strange Meal, Diner Imag-
ines Dead Man Is After Him

Andy Wilson, negro. was paid off
yesterday for odd jobs and invested IN
bread, booze, chicken and peanuts. He
was arrested on Also street last night
by Patrolman Curry while fleeing from
an ina ginary enemy. When Andy
faced the desk sergeant he pleaded
tearfully to retain a dozen bags OF
peanuts and several loaVes of bread
that were crammed into his pockets.
The remnants of a cold chicken, pur-
chased from a delicatessen, was taken
from the crown of his hat.
Boss" said Andy to Sergeant Smith
as he swept the peanuts into a pile on
the counter, 10 heav'ns sake let me
done keep dem eatables. 1 jes lub
dem t'ings, sure 1 do. l saved 'em till
the last. De chicken and de boose am
gone but, dog gone it, lemme have de
nuts and youse kin keep de bread"
Smith allowed the negro to have his
peanuts but insisted on taking the
chicken bones that were slowed away
under his hat.
Andy's drinks had become so mixed
that he imagined a dead negro was
pursuing him in the street and his
wild efforts to escape threw him into
the arms of the law with such jolt
that the big policeman was nearly
taken off his feet.

MAYOR PROMISES CLUB
TO HAVE SEWER REPAIRED
South Coast Port Captain Shows
Anger in Letter

Mayor George Alexander was given a
good scolding" yesterday by c. D..
Callahan, port captain of the South
Coast Yacht club, and all because a
sewer has broken and has discharged
its contents right at the clubs door
way, so to speak. The difficulty is
one of long standing it seems, and in
his letter to the mayor the port cap
tain shows that he is nightly peeved
that it hasn't been attended to before
this.
The letter is written on stationery
of the South Coast Yacht club and is
addressed to Mayor Alexander. Mayor
Alexander replied as follows:
Yours of the 18th received. The
secretary of the board Of public works
informs me that it will be necessary to
obtain a new right of way, where there
will no longer be danger of the bank
caving; that the question of whether
certain funds can be used for that
purpose is now before the city attor-
ney. The city attorneys attention has
been called to the urgency of the mat
ter and he will make his report at the
very earliest possible moment. If those
funds can not be used the city council
undoubtedly will see that funds be pro-
Vided for at once"

Municipal Affairs
MAYOR IS To OPPOSE
VERTICAL FIRE ESCAPE
Proposed Amendment to Building
Ordinance Will Be Fought
by Officials

Mayor Alexander and members of the
board of fire commissioners will ap-
near before the council building com
mittee tomorrow morning to protest
against a proposed amendment of the
building ordinance changing the re-
ouirements with reference to fire es-
capes on office buildings, fiat and
apartment buildings, hotels, depart
ment stores and factories. They VIII
also have the support of j. j. Backus,
building superintendent.
The mayor and fire commissioners
will take up the fight on the sugges-
ton of Fire Chief Archie ]. Eley, who
reported to the board at yesterday S
meeting that he had learned determ-
ined effort is to be made to secure the
adoption of the amendment. Its eff
feet he explained, would be to legalize
vertical or so-called ladder" fire es-
capes, which, in the opinion of the
chief, are not nearly so satisfactory
as the stair structures required at
present.
The chief says that vertical fire es~
capes are exceedingly dangerous for
women and children and adds that
they have been responsible in other
cities for considerable loss of life. Be
sides being difficult to descend, he
points out that there is always pres
ent a danger that persons hurrying
down them will tread upon the hands
of the individual Immediately below,
and thus compel that individual to
loosen his or her hold at imminent risk
of being precipitated to the. ground
from whatever height.
After hearing his explanation the
board and mayor voted unanimously
to oppose the proposed change before
the council committee. The matter
came before the council originally in
the shape of a petition.

Honor Guest, and Prominent
Men Attend Dinner

ness men and students attended the
dinner given by the Young Mems Chris
tian association last evening to George
B. Hodge of New York, educational
secretary of the international commit
tee of the association. Following the
dinner q number of interesting talks
We're given on the work of the associa-
ton in an educational way. The pres
ent plans under which the local organ
ization is working were heartily in
dorsed.
"The Main Line of Development of
Modern Education" was discussed in
short talk by superintendent Francis.
He declared that the time for many
changes is now on in the educational
world, and that many of these better
changes are due to efforts of such in
stitutions as the Y. M. c. A. Many OF
the educational methods. 1t is his be-
lief are begun in the Young Mems
Christian association and later adopted
by the schools.
Men" he said, "now realize that ed
ucation is life and life is education.
The great work now to be done is 10
bring and help bring education closer
to life"
Purd B. Wright, public librarian,
spoke briefly, commencing the assocla-
ton on it's work and accomplishments.
He made known his sympathy with the
plans and asked that the public library
may cooperate in the effort TO reach
men for their bettermeht He stated
that it is his conception that the public
library is second only to the schools in
moral influence, and that these come
next to the church.

tern slides, gave an interesting account
of the work being done by the associa-
ton over the United States. He stated
that there are now more than $4,000
men and boys attending day and even
ing classes in the various associations,
and that nearly $50 subjects of study
are represented. He showed where
about rs per cent of men and boys who
are in gainful occupations are en-
ployed in industrial and trade pur-
suits While this is the case, only 20
per cent of the schools are provided
with facilities in trade lines, while the
other rs per cent are in professional
and commercial lines. Interesting slides
were shown, illustrating experiences in
industrial and teachers educational
courses in the associations, including
such courses as investments, real es-
tate plumbing, banking, mining, brick
laying and others.

THREE AUATS END SUIT
TO MARY GREEN ESTATE
Distribution of Property Valued at
$150,000, Will Be Made
Out of Court

When attorneys on both sides filed a
stipulation in Judge Rives' depart
ment of the superior court yesterday
to the effect that settlement would
be made out Of court, the contest of
three elderly aunts of Miss Mary
Green over the disposition of her $780,
700 estate was dismissed.
The private settlement was arranged
only a few minutes before the case
was called for a resumption of its
trial. and Judge Rives, after receiv-
ing the lawyers notice of their clients
intentions, admitted the will of Miss
Green to probate and officially per-
mitted Miss Harriet Campbell, one of
the aunts, who was named sole bene-
ficiary in the WILL to act as eXecutriX,
a position to which she had been ap-
pointed by her dead niece.
ESTATE WILL BE DISTRIBUTED
Miss Green, the daughter of a bank
er of Pasadena, died recently after
long illness. She devised all of her
estate to Miss Harriet Campbell of
Pasadena, with the result that Miss
Anna G. Porter of South Pasadena,
another aunt, began a contest, asking
that the property be distributed
equally among the aunt named as sole
beneficiary, herself and a third aunt
of Miss Green, Mrs. Mary Campbell
Neff of Dallas Center, Iowa. The
ground on which the contest was
brought was the alleged mental in
competency of Miss Green at the time
she made her will.
Now that the contest has been dls-
missed, it is understood that salts
factory division has been arranged, al
though the attorneys on both sides
refuse to make public the terms of the
settlement. The three aunts of the
dead woman are all elderly not one
of the trio being less than 70 years old.
