central fire station on South Main street
from $4,000 to 81 900, and the fire com
mittee has received propositions from
two agencies. offering reductions in

enough to carry on the building; but
the other members Of the council seem
TO consider that the amount is sufficient
protection, and the report Of the fire

THIS IS CHARITY DAY FOR
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Women Open Booths in Banks,
Hotels and Stores to Re-
ceive Donations
This is charity day for the children's

This is charity day for the Childrens
hospital.
Throughout the city, in the big banks,
department stores, hotels and business
houses booths will be established to
receive the donations of philanthropic
Angelenos, be they dimes or dollars
In past years an annual benefit has
been held for this most worthy charity,
but this year the women in charge de-
termined to make their appeal direct
and thus do away with the expense en-
tailed heretofore. Under this plan do
nors will have the satisfaction of know
ing that every penny contributed will
go directly to the support of hospital
work.
The hospital association purposes to
erect a new home in the near future at
Sunset and Vermont avenues, and
money is needed to assure the success
of this project.
Donation booths throughout the city
will be in charge of women well known
for their activity in charitable and So
cial hetterment work Already numer-
Gus pledges of contributions have been
made, and it is expected that the new
plan of raising funds will result IN
much larger receipts than have been
secured heretofore. The women are
particularly anxious to secure large
number of small donations, realizing
that in this way they will be able TO
command the interest of many persons
in their work who cannot afford TO give
large sums, but whose support will be
none the less valuable for all that.

Case Continues

Charges against T. F. Rico and L. A.
Rico, who, with f. j. Talamantes, were
alleged to be implicated in case of
extortion, were dismissed by the police
commission yesterday afternoon and
the two Ricos ordered restored to duty
with full pay.
The case against Talamantes was

case yesterday were persons who testi-
fed the defendant was a man of good
character.
During the trial, which has been in
progress intermittently for the last
week or more, it has been apparent
that the evidence against the Ricos was
not very strong, and it was especially
difficult to connect Louis Rico with the
case The ponce commission became
convinced yesterday afternoon that the
Ricos were not guilty of any of the
charges made against them and
stopped their suspension.

WOMAN SPENDER'S WITHIN
MAKES GUARDIAN SUIT
Mrs. Mobiles, Bent on Spending a
$4,000 Inheritance, Thinks
Watcher Is Anarchist

A change in the guardian of the per-
son of Mrs. Palmyra A. Mobiles, the
aged st. Louis woman who was devised
$4,000 by an invalid of that city in
whose last illness she proved of SER
vice and who spent it so recklessly that
she was adjudged incompetent was
effected yesterday by Judge Rives of
the probate department of the superior
court.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Jennie
Lappin was appointed to take care of
Mrs. Mobiles, but yesterday she Of
ficially resigned, saying that the task
was too great for her health and
energy. Mrs. Lappin, who is AZ years
old and something of an invalid, de-
clared herself too inexperienced in the
care of mentally incompetent persons
to act as Mrs. Mobiles guardian any
longer. She said that Mrs. Mobiles, who
has conceived the idea that Mrs. Lap
pin is an anarchist, is in such a condi-
tiOn of body and mind that she requires
constant attention. The unbalanced
woman, one of whose acts of reckless
extravaganza was the purchase of the
lease of the Santa Rita hotel for nearly
$4,000, absolutely refused to live any
other place.
At the conclusion Of Mrs. Lappin's
recital to the court of her reasons for
not being in position to act as Mrs.
Mobiles guardian any more, she recon-
mended Mrs. Beth Colby of this city
as her successor, and the court acted
accordingly and made the desired ap-
pointment. Mrs. Colby is said to have
had great deal of experience in mat
ters pertaining to the care of such per-
sons as Mrs. Mobiles.
The elderly woman came to Los An
geles about a month ago, spending
$250O on the trip from ST. Louis to this
city She began to be the victim of
many persons who had things they
could sell to nobody else, and her
money was expended with such aban-
don that she excited the attention of
her bankers, whose Investigations re-
suited in the courts appointing
guardians for both her money and her
nerSOn.
