POLICE EFFECT
CLEVER CAPTURE
SAN DIEGO OFFICERS ARREST
ELI LOPEZ
Man Wanted In Los Angeles on
Charge of Shooting Pedro Ontl.
veras Tries to Cross the
Mexican Border
Ell Lopez, wanted by the local police
on the charge of shooting Pedro On
tiveras at an early hour yesterday
morning In the Hoffman rooming house,
was arrested In San Diego as he de
scended from the Santa Fe train last
evening. Only quick and thorough
work on the part of Detectives Hawley
and Murphy and the local force pre
vented Lopez from escaping over the
Mexican border.
Ontiveras survived the operation at
the receiving hospital yesterday morn-
Ing and was moved to the county hos
pital, but it is learned that there is not
the slightest hope of his recovery. Be
fore the operation an nnte-mortem
statement was made by Ontiveras in
which he said that Lopez shot him acci
dentally and that he did not wish to
cause him trouble as they had long
been friends.
From the evidence that the police
have It is learned that Lopez became
involved in trouble with three men, and
after some hot words had been ex
changed, he drew a gun from the desk
and shot at one of the trio, but in
stead of hitting his man. he shot Onti
veras through the abdomen and fatally
injured him.
Lopez escaped before the officers ar
rived at the scene of the shooting, and
it is now learned that he went to Ful
lerton, where his relatives reside. After
hiding there part of the day he left and
took a. Santa Fe train for San Diego,
hoping to get over the Mexican line
before he was caught. >•:•> ■•

Lopez succeeded In leaving town, and
had it not been learned by the de
tectives on the case that he had left
for San Diego, he probably would have
escaped. The officers were somewhat
baffled until late In the morning, when
they learned that Lopez had gone to
San Diego. They wired and sent fl
telephone message of his description
to the officers there. Today he will be
returned to Los Angeles.
Though Ontiveras suffered but little
during the day and last evening, hid
condition was slightly worse, and the
physicians do not entertain the slight
est hope for his recovery.
ADOPTS SAFETY AMENDMENT
Council Changes Building Ordinance
Governing Erection of Con
crete Structures
Another amendment to the new build
ing ordinance was made yesterday
when the council voted to change the
specifications governing the erection of
reinforced concrete buildings. The
factor of safety was changed from one
to three to one to six. This means
that all girders, columns and other
supports must be able to bear six
times the weight that is expected to
be imposed on them, Instead of three
times the weight. The thickness of
walls was also specified. These must
be as thick as brick walls would be
for a building of the same height.
In the opinion of Carl Leonardt. one
of the most prominent reinforced con
crete builders of the city, this measure
is necessary.
"Of course the industry Is new in
Los Angeles and wt> all want to he on
the safe side, but as a factor of safety
six to one Is a little too much. In
New York they are building at four
to one and I would prefer to see this
adopted here. But it will not hurt tha
business to any extent. A little more
steel and the added strength Is given.
The ordinance was introduced by
former City Attorney Walter Ha.as,
who represented a number of builders.

NOM WAU LIBERATES OFFERING
TO GODS OF AIR AND WATERS
Chinese High Priest Conducts a Beautiful and
Impressive Ceremony at Hollenbeck Park.
Prays for Souls of the Departed
"Let the spirits of the upper air and
the masters of the deep be satisfied
and satiated, oh great one, that the
souls of our departed brothers pass
onward without hindrance," came the
soft wailing chant of the Chinese high
priest of the Gong Jue temple, yester
day afternoon as he stood on the west
bank of the placid lake nt Hollenbeck
park.
It was n portion of the ceremonies
of the festival of the dead. He sent
up his plpn for care and protection
of loved ones gone to the world be
yond.
He was n heathen, In the eyes of ri
number of bystanders, and he was ad
dressing strange gods, yet the deep
pathos of hin voice and the low re
sponses of his fellow priests, wrapped
up in the solemnity of their duties,
caused the white people present to re
view the proceeding In prespectf.nl si
lence.
The ceremony was the prettiest of
the entire festival to the departed
souls of the Chinese. It is held only
once In every throe years and as it
Is reverenced above all other services
by the Chinese, no announcement was
made of its coming and as great se
crecy as possible was maintained. The
priests seek to avoid the crowds which
are sure to assemble if the announce
ment of the ceremonies is made pub
licly.
The Chinese arrived at the park at
half past three in the afternoon. They
were in carriages, and five altar boys,
who will some day be called to the po
sition of the wearers of robes, were in
the first vehicles. The sprightly little
chaps held open the doors of the sec
ond vehicle while the high priest, or
norn wav, brought from San Fran
cisco to take charge of the service*,
alighted. He was clad In his robes of
state and the gaudy magenta, roy.il
purple and green caused a sudden bril
liant lighting of the scene. He was
accompanied by three priests from iho
locaJ temple, all dressed in their ser
vice robes and prepared to wrestle with
any and all devils In sight.
Presents Beautiful Scene
The park was never so peaceful or
quiet as at that hour, and the priests
found their services of an easy nature.
The little procession wended its wuy
slowly to the west side of the lake
with Yen Ping, who was leading, carry
ing the offerings. Following came the
altar boys, and then the norn wau. In
his right hand he carried the long
curved slnb of Ivory, the badge of his
rank and the yellow strain of tlv?
precious emblem showed its extreme
age.
At the side of the lake the procession
stopped, and a number of loungers in
the park gathered around to watch the
services. It was as though a funeral
were about to take place and Yen
stooped and arranged a long row
of punk sticks in the soft sod of the
lnke shore. Around these he planted
the sacred temple candles and then
lighted all with a number of paper
prayers, which were alowed to burn
with the incense.
Then the chant began, a Chinese cor
net and a silver tomtom, furnishing
the music, while the priests moved
I slowly from side to side and sang their
prayers for the repose of the souls of
the dead.
When this servico was completed the
prayer books were handed to tha
priests and Norn Wav Lee stepped for
ward and began his incantations while
the other priests followed with a basso
edition of Lee's music.
Two soft gray pigeons were taken
from a sack and handed to the high
priest. He tok a bird In each hand
and dipped the bills of the fluttering
birds In the small dishes of rice wine
which had been placed before the lako
as nn offering to the gods of the air.
Paper prayers were then taken nrd
lighted, and around the head of each
bird he wnved these flaming torches,
and, culling on the spirits to witness
his sacrifice, he held the birds aloft
and let them go.
Liberates Winged Messengers
The merciful law of the Chinese ro
llglon declares that nothing must be
sacrificed to the gods and the most thf
spirits ever receive is the spirit of a
small bowl of rice, or tea or a cup of
rice wine.
With the first flush of freedom the
birds circled high In the nlr above the
hetids of the priests, and then flew
swiftly to the south, nnd the Chines?
again sang n peon of Joy at this sign
of good fortune for the coming year.
Again the prayers were alighted and
again the voices of the priests wero
raised In song, and the norn wav,
for the second time putting aside his
ivory staff, lifted a Jar of goldfish from
the ground, and blessing it with thu
fiery circle, hurled it Into the calm
waters of the lake.
Little bowls of rice and money werp
placed along the lake shores and offer
ings of sweet cakes and nuts were
strewn on the water. - .
Slowly the procession of the red robel
worshipers wended its way beneath the
trees of the park. The soft cadence
of their solemn chant drifted back
across the waters and faintly echoed
on In the distance.
There was a gentle ripple of the wa
ters of the lake as the golden offer-
Ings drifted away. The slanting rays
of the setting sun touched nnd lingered
lor an Instant on the bright robes of
the priests.
Then deep silence settled over th?
peaceful scene, for the spirits of the
upper air nnd the waters of the deep
were well pleased.
A lloiiip Madp Happy 1»y f'linmhrrlnln'n
Coukli Ilcmorly
About two months ago our haby girl
had measles which settled on her lung>
and at last resulted In a severe attack
of bronchitis. We had two doctors,
but no relief was obtained. Every
body thought she would die. I went to
eight different storeß to find a certain
remedy which had been recommended
to me and failed to get it, when one of
the storekeepers insisted that I try
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I did
so and our baby la alive and well today.
— Geo. W.'Spence, Holly Springs, N. C.

dren, as it contains nothing Injurious
