CLUB ASKS THE CITY TO
PROHIBIT FIGHT FILMS

The communications from the Ebell
club and the Civic association of Los
Angeles asking that the council pass
an ordinance preventing the presenta-
tion of moving pictures of the Johnson
Jeffries fight in Los Angeles were re-
ferred to the welfare committee of the
council at yesterday mornings meeting.
A doubt existed in the minds of some
of the councilmen whether there was
not an ordinance in effect covering
such a matter.
Council President Lusk read the sec
ton of the penal ordinances of Los An
geles which prohibits the reproduction
of moving pictures of any prize fight or
similar fight.
1t was suggested by Councilman
Washburn that when the committee
was considering the prohibition of prize
fight moving pictures it might be well
to investigate the moving picture re-
production of certain other subjects
besides prize fights. He intimated that
stricter regulation Of the subjects re-
produced would be beneficial to the
youth of the community.

BIRTHS FOR YEAR ARE
5l86 AND DEATHS 4722
Tuberculosis Shown to Be on In
crease Among Natives
of the City

There were 4722 deaths in the city of
Los Angeles during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, showing death rate OF
142, estimated on a basis of population
of 100000, according to the annual re-
port of DR.. l.. NJ. Powers, health ofhcer,
submitted yesterday at the meeting of
the board of health. This is b1O in eX-
cess of last years mortality total.
To offset the mortality record, there
were 51S6 births, showing an increase
over last years visits of the stork
of 779.
tuberculosis claimed 7S1 victims out
of 790 cases reported. 1t is considered
that there has not been efficient work
in preventing the spread of this disease,
and the physicians are slow to report
to the department the existence of a
case under their care. The health Of
ficer states that physicians should CO.
operate with the health authorities in
stamping out this plague by promptly
reporting the existence of case i'll
their practice in order that measures
may be taken to prevent contagion.
DR.. Powers says that there is no dis
position on the part of the health de-
partment to interfere with case
under a physicians care, but that the
authorities merely desire to see that
measures are taken to check the spread
OF IuDeTCulOSlS.
OF those who died of tuberculosis. 242
had not resided in Los Angeles year.
Seventy-one natives of Los Angeles
were among the list of victims, show
ing an increase of the disease locally.
Twenty-seven children less than 2
years old died of the disease.
The tuberculosis mortality table of
the last few years, with the exception
of the one just ended, shows a lessen
ing of the number of deaths, as COM
pared to the increase in population.
Notwithstanding the population of
Los Angeles increased through con-
solidation proceedings, the number of
cases of typhoid remained almost sta
tionary. There were 26 cases during
the year. There were $3.50 cases of
measles.
DR.. Powers recommends that more
nurses be appointed to inspect schools.
There are now five nurses in the de-
partment, requiring that each one in
spect twenty schools. The health Of
f1cer favors a tuberculin test of cows
supplying milk to Los Angeles, and
asks for the appointment of city
veterinarian and four inspectors of
cattle.

SURGEON ASKS
$10O INCREASE IN PAY

Charles e. Zerfing. police surgeon,
has asked the city council to raise the
salaries in his department. He asks
that assistant surgeons be given $125
a month instead of the present $50 sal
ary. He suggests that his own salary,
in view of the number of hours he
must give to the emergency hospital
service, be raised from $3.50 to $3.50.
Zerfing states that in the future he
shall refuse to attend a patient for
pay subsequent to discharge from the
hospital. This decision comes as re-
suit of adverse criticism on the part
of members of the medical fraternity.
He asks that the pay of male nurses
be raised from $75 to $S5, and suggests
that two weeks vacation with pay be
given to ever member of his force
during each year. The communication
was referred to the supply committee.

interference BY VERNON

In return for the injunction got out
by the city of Vernon against the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric company to
prevent the laying of pipes in their
streets, said to be intended for another
town, which was dismissed later, the
company yesterday secured a restrain
ing order against the city to prevent
further interference. In addition the

might arise, as directed in the recent

CONTEST ENFORCEMENT
OF CITY ORDINANCE
LiQht Co. Declares Law Licensing
Trades Unconstitutional

Five distinct suits, all directed
against city ordinance No. 10000, that
licensing professions, trades and occu-
pations, were filed in the superior court
yesterday afternoon. Like the COM
plaint Of the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric corporation of the day before,
all allege unconstitutionality.
The banks are the chief contestants
on this occasion. being the Los Angeles
Trust and Savings bank, the Security
Savings bank, the German-American
Savings bank and the Southern Trust
company. In addition the Southern
California Edison company is a plain
tiff.
The ordinance resisted is that which
the citizens ratified at the referendum
election of June 30. At that time the
threat was made that 1t would be at
tackled in the courts.
Next Monday has been set as the
time for hearing before Judge Bord-
well the request for an injunction
against the enforcement of the ordi-
nance in the Los Angeles Gas and Elec-
trio case. Probably all will be heard
together.

PENDANTS. Warren Wilson and Mrs. H.

the latter was arrested on a civil ac-

EDDIE WANTS VOTE ON
THE DICE SHAKING LAW

Prosecuting Attorney Guy Eddie has
suggested to the city council that at
an early date a popular vote be taken
on whether dice shaking at cigar
stands shall be allowed. A measure
prohibiting dice shaking at cigar stands
was defeated at the general election
of last December.
Eddie claims that the spectacle Of a
crowd of men engaging in dice game
in sight of the passers-by on the side
walks tends to besmirch the fair name
of Los Angeles by giving bad i'm
preston of the city.

ton for the Austin hotel explosion of
January II, 1909 was begun yesterday

suit of the explosion, he says, he was
thrown against various distractions,
damaging one eye and sustaining inter-

PUTS 70 DEGREE LIMIT
ON MILK TEMPERATURE
Council Decides That 60 Degrees
Would Work Hardship

The milk ordinance. to which OBJ
lection was made by dairymen be-
cause it required that all milk be kept
at temperature Of sixty degrees, and
which was amended so the temperature
of the milk was placed at seventy de-
grees, was passed by the city council
yesterday. Councilman Andrews ex-
planned that because Of inadequate
transportation facilities the council
felt that an injustice would be worked
on the dairymen by requiring the sixty
degree standard, as milk would raise
in temperature in unrefrigerated cars.
Councilman II. L. O'Brien, stating
that he had not carefully read the ordl-
nance, voted mo" on roll call.
When the ordinance was sent to the
mayors office for his signature it was
discovered that through some error the
ordinance read so to require the milk
to be kept at temperature of sixty
degrees. Mayor Alexander will not
sign it until the error is corrected.

He is working the candidates hard,

of that class, but has games with the
University and others of the larger
educational institutions, that Will
mean some hard work cut out for Cap

Clinton had some good men last
year, most of whom are back, and it is
believed enough new material will be
developed to place fast team on the
field.
Altogether the prospects are bright
err than at any time in the past, and
not only the University, but the A. &

A COLLAR BUTTON
DREW lightning

Eau Claire, Wis, Sept. 27.-Desk
Sergeant Charles Johnson has q sore
neck, caused by a collar button that
proved an attraction for lightning dur
ing a recent electrical storm.
The storm paralyzed the private call
system of the police department more
than an hour. During that period all
boxes were out of order and several
flashes shot in on the call board, COM
ing from the individual call boxes.
Desk Sergeant Johnson was standing
in the middle of the room when a
streak of blue fire seemed to come
from every direction.
According to Johnson it went
straight for his rear collar button and
singed his neck. While this method
would take the place of neck shave,
the sergeant would prefer the old
method of the tonsorial artists. AS it
is, Mr.. Johnson has a stiff neck which
will take several days of care to bring
back to normal.
