Additional Water Mains Be Laid.
Frame and Concrete Struc-
lures Are Criticised

Tie structural, electrical and hy-
draulc engineers appointed by the
committee on fire prevention of the
national board of underwriters, an or
ganization of the heads of all the lead
ing fire insurance companies in the
United States, have completed their
investigation of conditions in Los An
geles, and after two months work are
ready to send their report to the COM
mittee.
From Los Angeles the engineers will
go direct to San Francisco, where they
will be joined by a similar body of en-
gineers who have been investigating
conditions at San Diego, and there will
conduct the same inquiry into struc-
tural peculiarities, prevailing winds,
electrical systems, fire prevention
measures, fire fighting facilities, etc.
The engineers who have conducted
the investigation in Los Angeles are
T. C. B. Smell, in charge of the struc-
tural and electrical department. w. M.
Johnson, in charge of the fire depart
ment investigation; Clarence Gold
smith and Robert c. bennett. hydrau-
lie engineers, and o. G. Rogers, as
sistant.
Mr.. Smell, whose work is probably
the most important, said yesterday 1t
would be about five or six weeks be-
fore the report is published, at which
time it will be sent to municipal Off
cials, local insurance companies and
others in the city who may desire it
as a guide book in administrative and
legislative affairs The reports issued
so far have proved Invaluable COM
pilations of information.
Mr.. Smell refused to discuss what
recommendations would be made, but
when questioned said that no unusual
conditions had been found here. He
indicated, however, that there might
be certain criticisms offered in connec-
tion with concrete and frame struc-
lures of a type which are considered
dangerous in conflagrations.

SUICIDE THEORY IS
UPHELD BY SHERIFF
RANCHER KILLED SELF, SAYS
COUNTY OFFICIAL
Inquest Over Body of D. w. DWire
viii Be Held at Hollywood
Today-Suspects Are
Released

After making a thorough investiga-
ton of all the facts and circumstances
surrounding the mysterious death of
ID. w. Dwire, a rancher who was found
dead in his home on the Los Feliz road
near Ivanhoe Sunday night, the con-
clusion reached by Sheriff Hammel is
that it was a suicide. Although there
are a few clews which he expects to
get. he hardly thinks they will be suf-
ficient to support a murder.
Deputy Sheriffs Aguirre and Math-
ewson, who have been working on the
case, returned yesterday with no pos
sible clews tending toward anything
but suicide.
It is thought that Dwire, who lived
alone removed one of his shoes so he
would cable to pull the trigger of the
gun and then, after firing a charge of
buckshot into his side, crawled to his
bed, where he was found. According
to the deputy sheriffs there were no
signs of a struggle in the house, and
that the blood found on the walls
could have been caused by Dwire fall
ing against 1t as he made his way
toward the bed.
Several witnesses have been found
who claim Dwire said good-by to them
Saturday night, saying at the time
that he would be dead before morning.
Their names could not be ascertained,
but they viii probably testify at the
coroner's inquest today.
George Kelly and A Duke were
taken to the sheriffs office yesterday,
and after being questioned We're re-
leased. They will testify at the coro-
ner's inquest today at Hollywood.

ANNUAL SPREE COSTS
PEACE DISTURBER SIS
Varied Performance in an Apartment
House Explained by Prisoner
in the Police Court

TITS only my annual drunk, your
honor, and | wish you would be as
lenent as possible with me-" said A.
Korntop when he was arraigned in
police court yesterday for disturbing
the peace by wrecking the furniture in
his room at an apartment house on
San Julian street.
II only become intoxicated once
year." continued the accused, land
after l get over my spree L tread the
path of sobriety for another twelve
months. This time l drank more than
usual, and the result was that l acted
bit turbulent"
Korntop is alleged to have entered
his room Saturday night and aroused
the other occupants of the house by
singing at the top of his voice. He
varied his performance by yelling and
giving vent to cat calls, and soon all in
the neighborhood were awakened.
When the other roomers entered a pro-
test against such conduct Korntop, it
is asserted, became enraged and began
hurting various articles of furniture
at them. The result was that Patrol
men Greeley and Walker appeared and
placed the joyful one under arrest.
Korntop quieted down after being
taken into custody, but after walking a
short distance decided to rid himself
of the company of the officers. Ac-,
cordingly he pushed them aside and
ran down the street. He was not in
good condition for racing, and was
overtaken within block of where he
started.
In view of the fact that Korntop
promised to abstain from liquor in the
future and to behave himself, Judge
Williams fined him SIS.

GOOD GOVERNMENT
FUND COMMENDED
Secretary of the National Municipa
League Discusses in Annual Re-
port Successful Effort in
Los Angeles

Clinton Rogers Woodruff, secretary
of the National Municipal league, in
his annual report highly commended
Los Angeles for the establishment of
it's good government fund, created for
the purpose of giving financial support
to movements of good government in
the city The report says:
Los Angeles has made another con-
tributiop to municipal methods that is
worthy of general imitation. 1t con-
sists in the creation of good gov
ernment fund organized for the pur-
pose of giving financial support to
worthy movements for good govern
ment in Los Angeles city and county.
Already $4,000 per annum have been
subscribed by the citizens of Los An
geles: and those in charge of the fund,
which is a guaranteed permanent one,
feel sure that it will reach between
$35 900 and $4,000. The announcement
that such a fund has been raised and
established will unquestionably have a
most encouraging and stimulating eff
feet upon the forces for better mu-
nicipal conditions. 1t will relieve the
men responsible for the conduct of
these organizations of the always
pressing necessity for funds and en-
able them to devote their time and at
tention to carrying out the purpose of
their organization

directions. but the map indicates that
north of Third street and east of Hill
street there is a dearth of these struc-
lures, which would allow fire driven by
a high wind to sweep over a large area
without structural resistance. This
condition, however, is not more marked
than in many other cities.
Recommendation will be made in
the engineers report for the placing of
new and additional water mains, bet
ter connections in cetrain districts and
certain municipal regulations relative
to buildings in the congested district,
but none of these recommendations
will yet be made public.
The object of the investigation is to
reduce the property loss by fire in the
various cities, and thus to reduce the
loss to the insurance companies. The
total property loss in the United States
for 1907 is estimated at $199, 3S3, 300, and
in the last five years has aggregated
$1,257, 1886, a daily average of $500, 900.
