LIFT THE S|EGE,'
JUDGE IS PLEA
Householder in Homestead AsSo-
citation Now Sues for En-
forced Peace
STOP CRUEL WAR; is DEMAND
Conditions Likened to Days to the
Revolution in French
History

A state of siege and the grim hard
ships of real war exist out in one part
of the Electric Railway Homestead as
sociation tract, according~to the COM
plant of A. c. Zierath, filed in the su-
perior court yesterday, in which he
asks the court to declare a truce by
force of arms If necessary.
The defendants named are Mary Nc
Cam, Rose Spaulding, L. Spaulding.
James McCann and Mamie Easton.
Zierath alleges he holds a lease on a
lot and building in the tract from
William McCann, and that the de-
PENDANTS are attempting to drive him
off the premises by hurting clods of
mud, tin cans, refuse that requires
Olslerizing, streams of water and other
munitions of war at the place in which
he resides.
The plaintiff charges the defendants
with listening outside his windows
while he telephones, so that they may
secure a strangle hold on his secrets;
with shutting off the water so as TO
cause him to dry up from famine, and
monkeying with his electric lights and
telephone system.
Added to these and a few other
grievances which he names at con-
siderable length, Zierath declares that
the defendants, or enemy" have bar
ricaded the exits from his house to the
street in a manner which is suggestive
of the French revolution.
In spite of his privations, however,
he intends to hold the fort and refuses
to strike his colors. He takes a shot at
the "enemy" by declaring that as he
believes they are insolvent, there is
no use asking damages, and he wants
the court to issue an order to restrain
the defendants from besieging him. He
also asks that the embargo on his
ports of entry to and from the street
be lifted and that peace be forever
made compulsory.

HURRY UP, FELLOWS; LET
'EM BUILD THE LINE

An extension of the Eagle Rock car
line from the Glendale city limits,
north on Glendale avenue to what
would be Oak street extended where
private right of way leading to
Verdugo park would be tapped, was
applied for from the board of super
visors yesterday by e. D. Goode, rep.
resenting the Glendale and Eagle Rock
Railway company. The city of Glen
dale is now advertising franchise
from the present terminus of the line
north to the city limits, distance of
two blocks.
The board ordered the county's part
of the franchise for sale as quickly
as possible, after Mr.. Goode had stated
that the railroad company would have
to have their road to Verdugo in ope-
ration by July, or account of their
contract with the city. 1t is proposed
to run the line parallel with the Salt
Lake on the east side of Glendale av-
enue. H. w. Nixon property owner,
claiming that the street at this point
is too narrow, has already filed an OBJ
lection with the BOARD.

BAPTIsTs NOT AFRAID
OF HIGHER CRITICISM
Ask Much Condemned Religious
Educational Association
to Meet Here

Higher criticism, that bugbear of
modern orthodoxy, has been at the
root of the long discussion indulged
in by the churches Of Los Angeles re-
garding the proposed invitation to the
Religious Educational association to
meet in Los Angeles. The Ministerial
union of Los Angeles, representing the
Protestant evangelical churches, voted
against such an invitation, and at that
session, held several weeks ago, a
decidedly heated discussion and much
feeling was displayed. This action was
later repudiated by the Congregational
ministers and yesterday morning 1t
came up before the Baptist ministers
meeting.
A heated discussion was precipitat-
ed on the ministers before they were
fully aware of the resolution indors-
ing the action taken by the union of
ministers which was offered by DR.. A.
p. Graves.
Several ministers referred to the
action as behind the times and Rev.
c. C. Pierce, president of the meeting.
said that if the Baptist ministers went
on record as against the Religious
Educational association he would re-
move his name from the alrbody,
even if he were alone in that action.
among local ministers says that the
association tends toward higher criti-
cism and Unitarianism, while those
favoring it say that it is taking up
the great modern problems of the
church in bringing it in harmony with
education and in bringing modern edu-
cation in harmony with the church,
and thus endeav0ring to save the
young people to the church.
The Baptist ministers yesterday
morning not only voted to repudiate
the action at the union ministers
meeting, but also voted to extend as
far as its members were concerned an
invitation to the Religious association
to meet here. However, it is not
known whether the Religious associa-
tion wants to come to Los Angeles.

speaker of the session on 1.-THE Per-
