gray fog, out of which poured or,

So thick was the fog that before IL

necessity in downtown stores.
Little hope for relief today was held
out by Prof. William Wiener. head of
the local weather bureau.

speaking of the weather and the fog
after a trip downtown. 1.-THE fog will
probably continue all day and into

Prof. Wiener also stated that the
fog, already heavy, was likely to in
crease in density. further hindefing

The fog at noon had not reached -sne
quality of Scotch mist but
showed indications of so doing.
Owing to the fog railroad traffic was
hampered. 1t became necessary 10

Baldwin Heirs to
Get $2O,OOO,OOO

LOS ANGELES. April e.--Announce-
ment is made by II. Unruh. executor Of
the estate of B. ]. Gucixy) Baldwin.
that each of the Baldwin heirs, Mrs.
Hull McLsughrey and Mrs. Clara Bald
win Stocker, would receive more than
s10,000,000. The value OF the estate is
placed by Unruh at more than $40, ,e00-
900. 1t consists of 100000 acres of land,
unencumbered. Of the estimated aver
age value of 500 an acre.
Five years ago there was doubt that
the Baldwin ranches could be saved
from their burden of debt. A blanket
mortgage covered the estate, but the
sale of 5000 acres lifted the mortgage
and left s1.00o.00o in cash. The prop
erty is said to have trebled in value
within the last three years.

WIRE FIGHT

Poor Condition of Streets in
Which Cars Run Laid to
Corporation.

One OF the most important fights ever
waged by the city against the Public
Service Corporation is being planned
by the Board of Works. It will mean
that every effort will be made to force
the corporation to comply with the
ordinance passed December 10, 1892,
requiring the abolishment of the pres
ent overhead wires and the installation
Of the underground system. Pointing
to IT'S success In New York, the com
missioners say that it Is a necessary
against danger. President Enrry B.
C'Connell has taken the subject up and
says he will push 1t to the limit.
Commissioner William Mungle, in dis
cussing the situation, referred to a
adopted in June, 1910, calling attention
of the corporation to the ordinance.
TITS nearly two years now since the
corporation promised to investigate
this question" said Commissioner
Mungle, land something should be
done"
Let US make them do It," was Com
missioner Charles f. Kraemer's COM
ment.
The corporation when urged to oom-
ply with the ordinance two years ago
pointed out that it would cost 81, ,000. 900,
and place 1t on the verge of bank
ruptcy.
I'VE did not want to bring any hard
ship on the corporation at that time
said Commissioner Mung1e today, "but
now they are making money hand over
fist, and should comply with the ordi-
nances and every phrase of their fran
chise.
Ordinance Not Too Rigid.
They claim 1t is too rigid, but
claim it is not. 1t is true she Public
Service has spent considerable money
to try and give the people safe troll
ley system and good one, but this is
an old ordinance and should be en-
forced. The underground wire system
is satisfactory in New York and other
cities and there Is no reason why II
should not be here.
"I believe the Public Service felt that
they would be required to abolish the
overhead system and, therefore, have
sn object in the concrete roadbeds, "
he continued "They will show wher e
they have paid thousands of 1sllars
for that Improvement, but when they
were doing it they knew the ordinance
existed, and I'll not give them e bit OF
sympathy.
