.FAVORS FLAGMEN AT
ten CAR CROSSINGS
Board of Public Utilities Will Prob
ably Recommend Taking Steps
for Better Public
Safety

Flagmen at ten crossings on the Pa
cific Electric between the Sixth street
depot and Slauson avenue will probably
be recommended by the board of pubic
utilities to the city council.
No automatic device that has yet
been invented will guard the public
safety sufficiently, is the opinion of the
utilities commission. The commission,
accompanied by Assistant City Attor-
ney John w. Shenk and General Man
ager Mcmillan of the Pacific Electric,
went down Long Beach avenue in auto
mobiles yesterday to observe traffic
conditions. President Lissner of the
board counted the cars, and at the
Vernon avenue crossing found that
twenty-three cars passed inside of ten
minutes. At this rapid rate, safety
gates would not do, for they would be
down all the time, and an electric
alarm bell would not serve the purpose,
as it would be ringing all the time.
Flagmen are the only remedies the
commission can suggest that will ade-
quately fill the BILL
The attention Of the commission was
called to the rapid rate at which the
Long Beach cars traverse Long Beach
avenue by complaints of citizens who
live along the line and fear for their
lives. The commission does not believe
the cars should be forced to slacken
speed but that the public should be
protected from the speeding cars.

'ENGLISH PASTOR TO BE
GIVEN TRIAL BY JURY

William Morris, who claims to be a
minister of the Church of England and
who was arrested by the police Mon
day on a charge of stealing money
from Fred Peatfield, a horse dealer,
pleaded not guilty in Police Judge
Fredericksons court yesterday to a
charge of petty larceny and demanded
jury trial. His case was set for trial
for March 81, and in default of $10O
bail he was sent back to Jail.
Despite the fact that Morris paid 50
to Peatfield Monday afternoon and in
the presence of Detective Hosick asked
that the sum be credited to his account
on the amount he had taken, the sup
posed minister intends fighting the
case.
When searched Morris had in his pos
session list with the names of more
than hundred persons, some of them
we'll known merchants of this city, who
had subscribed amounts from 81 to So
for his free will" offering. The de-
tectives are investigating this matter.
They say that instead of giving the
money to the poor Morris used it to
buy liquor and to pay for pool games.

COURT RELEASES MAN WHO
is CHARGED WITH CRUELTY

Because it was shown that Hender-
son Packwood, accused of keeping
horse that was ordered killed by the
S. p. C. A., was not in physical possess
sion of the animal when the order was
made, he was discharged by Police
Judge Rose yesterday when he was
placed on trial for cruelty to animals.
1t appears that Packwood had the
horse in the care of liveryman. The
S. p. c. A. officers found that the ami
NAL was in a poor condition and sent
notice to Packwood to kill It, Pack
wood it is said, disputed with the
liveryman concerning the bill and re-
fused to pay the amount asked, allow
ing the animal to remain in the pos
session of the proprietor of the stable.
When the S. p. C. A. officers learned
that the animal had not been killed
they arrested him on a charge of
cruelty to animals for not obeying their
orders.
When these facts were made known
in police court Judge Rose promptly
dismissed the case against Packwood.
AS the matter now stands, the livery
man must care for the horse and con-
tinue to feed it until Packwood sees fit
to pay the bill, and If he kills the ami
NAL he is liable to be sued for killing
a horse belonging to~another man.

POLICE BAFFLED IN
SHOOTING MYSTERY
Death of Marquee, Found Dying from
Bullet Wounds, DeprIves
Detectives of Only
Clew

Owing to the fact that Francisco
Marquee, who was found in a dying
condition near a shanty at Cuba Sta
tion, died at the county hospital early
yesterday morning as the result of
gunshot wound of the stomach, the de-
tectives probably never will learn the
Identity of the man who fired the shot.
The case of Marquee is shrouded in
mystery. and G. w. Chamberlain,
who admitted having shot Marquee
and Identified the latter as one of two
chicken thieves, made mistake in the
identity of the man with whom he
struggled. The detectives learned that
the wound inflicted on Marquee was
caused by much smaller bullet than
that fired from Chamberlains pistol
Marquee shortly before he died de-
clared that he was shot by one of sew
eral men with whom he was drinking,
and that he never moved from the spot
where he had fallen. When the sur
geons probed the wound they removed
80 caliber bullet.
Chamberlain, who was arrested be-
fore Marquee was placed on the oper-
ating table, looked at the wounded
man and positively identified him as
the man at whom he had shot while
the latter was attempting to make his
escape with two bags of chickens.
Chamberlain produced a Al caliber
derringer and said IL was the weapon
with which he had fired the bullet at
the chicken thief.
Since the case came to the notice of
the police, Detectives McCann and
Beaumont have been working to un-
ravel the mystery and have failed to
learn the identity of the man at whom
Chamberlain shot. Detective McCann
found two empty .32 caliber shells near
where Marquee was found, but has
not been able to find out the names of
the men who were with Marquee when
he was shot.
Coroner Hartwell will hold an In
quest over the body of Marquee today
at local undertaking establishment.
