and property owners of the Second
ward that the oil derricks be removed
from a district In the ward wns re
ferred, yesterday heard the nrguments
and pleas of the oil men for time In
which to remove the derricks.
It Is the desire of the Second warders
that the district be cleaned out before
July 1. 1900, but the oil men contended
that that would not be sufficient time.
Parker, Merrll & Ott, ngninst whom the
principal complaint Is lodged on account
of the steaming plant conducted by this
company, declared they had contracts
that would require thorn to keep in
active operation for a year but agreed
to abandon ten wells at once.

conclusion, but will report to the coun
cil' Monday morning and the council
has agreed to act In accordance with
the plans of the committee.
TEAR DOWN RAILROAD FENCE
Residents Remove Obstruction Placed
Along Street by the Southern
Pacific Company
Incensed at the action of the Southern
Pacific in building a 1a 1 fence across
Thirty-first street at the intersection
with Trinity, which acted as a com
plete blockade to traffic on that street,
residents of the vicinity tore down
the obstruction yesterday morning at
about 11 o'clock. Among those who
took part In the affair were J. B.
Graham. John W. Rich, Will Harris,
George Harley, W. Clark and Oran
Tracey. " ;
I This street has long been a bone of
contention between the railroad and the
residents of the district. The first
complaint was that the railroad block
aded traffic by long lines of freight
cars, which were left stationary for
days at a time. The street superin
tendent had these cars removed and
a : week later the railroad built the
fence which was yesterday torn down.

CUPID'S DARTS WOUND NOTED WOMAN TENNIS PLAYER
Miss Violet Sutton
WOMAN INJURED
BY MOTOR CAR
BLAMES EX-STREET SUPERIN
TENDENT WERDIN
Automobile of Former City Official
Strikes Glancing Blow and
Knocks Victim Under
Feet of Horses
Mrs. R. Robblns of White City, Kas..
was struck by an automobile driven
by E. R. Werdin of 1620 Hobart boule
vard last night while crossing Spring
street In front of the Southern Califor
nia Baggage company's ofllce, and
hurled to the pavement, falling under
the feet of a team of horses, sustain
ing a broken left leg and a fractured
right arm.
In an offort to dodge between vehi
cles and cars Mrs. Robbins ran from
behind a West Ninth street car direct
ly in front of the huge machine. Wer
dln saw the woman, but his machine
was traveling too fast for the ex
street superintendent to stop before it
struck her.
Fortunately Mrs. Robblns was struck
a glancing blow and was sent whirling
to one Bide of the road. She fell with
great force directly beneath the feet
of a team of large horses, where she
lay unconscious, for several seconds.
She was lifted up by Werdin, Assem
blyman Transue and C. R. Parker, oc
cupants of the motor car, and carried
into a near-by storeroom.
Street Was Crowded
Alleged to have been traveling at a
high speed for the crowded condition
of the street, Werdin drove his machine
Bouth on Spring street just behind and
at the right of a southbound West
Ninth street car. At the time the
street was crowded with vehicles and
cars In front of the place where the
accident occurred, 745 South Spring
street, and both sides of the street
were lined with trucks and drays.
Mrs. Robblns saw the automobile
coming as she left the curb, but as
she neared the car tracks her course
was blocked by a slowly moving caj\
With Mrs. Ella Jones of Razell avenue
at her side, the two women attempted
to rush behind the car that had Just
passed and the West Ninth street car.
Mrs. Jones stopped, fearing that she
would be surrounded by vehicles, but
Mrs. Robblns ran ahead. When she
was directly In front of the automobile
she became aware that she was in
danger, and with a wild cry and a leap,
which undoubtedly saved her life, she
made every effort to escape.
Werdin'a machine caught the woman
and tossed her to one side, Bending her
Into another death trap, beneath the
feet of a team of dray horses. There
the woman lay unconscious until
picked up by those In the machine.
From the room of the transfer com
pany, where she was taken, the woman
was removed to the receiving hospital
and later to the California hospital,
where, by the orders of Werdin, she
will bo cared for by Dr. Quint.
Blames E. R. Werdin
Though suffering extreme pain from
the severe Injuries, Mrs. Robbins re
vived sufficiently to tell her story of
the accident:
"As I started across the street 1
saw the automobile near Seventh
street," said Mrs. Robblns, "but I did
not think it was traveling very fast
then. When I stepped from behind
the street car I must have gotten In
Its path, for the next thing 1 knew it
was upon me.
"It must have been travelling- at
a high rate of speed at the time, for I
do not believe It could have gotten
down where we were bo soon V It
hadn't. 1 did my best lo get out of
the way, but it was tio use, and the
next thing 1 knew I was lying in a
store."
Most of these statements made by
Mrs. Robblns are denied by Contractor
Werdin and hlu friends. They say that
they were travelling at a speed no
Ki'euter than three and a half miles
mi hour when they llrst saw th«
woman. '
"I applied the emergency brake,"'
SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1905.
said Mr. Werdin, "but the woman was
too close to the machine, and it struck
her a glancing blow, sending her be
neath the feet of a transfer wagon
team. My machine stopped within
three lengths and we jumped out and
carried the woman Into the store room.
"It Is a very unfortunate affair, and
particularly so because Mrs. Robbing
arrived only yesterday In Los Angeles
and Is a middle-aged woman. I shall
do all In my power to see that sfc* is
well attended and recovers. Still, I
do not believe I am to blame for the
accident."
LOCAL JAPANESE OBSERVE
BIRTHDAY OF THE MIKADO
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD IN
SIMPSON AUDITORIUM
Eight Hundred Natives of the Land of
Nippon Gather to Do Honor to
Their Emperor — Many Entertaining
Features Are Given
"Banzai the emperor!" "Banzai Pres
ident Roosevelt!" Those cries were the
keynotes of the Japanese celebration
of the fifty-fourth anniversary of the
birth of the emperor of Japan.
Eight hundred wildly enthusiastic and
patriotic Japanese filled Simpson aud
itorium to its utmost capacity last
night. .
Many addresses in the English and
Japanese languages were delivered,
and while the latter were indistinguish
able it was evident that they were of a
patriotic nature, for they were inter
rupted many times by the wild cheering
crowd of the little brown men.
Those which were spoken In English
were faultless in their diction and
touched upon the friendly relations
which exist between the two races and
expressed the hope that the nations
might become more fully acquainted
with each other.
Several Japanese dances by a Geisha
girl served to liven the program very
enjoyably, and a sword dance done by
a middle-aged Japanese was highly
realistic.
A playlet was given by eight Jap
anese actors which served to represent
the filial affection of the Japanese race.
Two brothers were shown who had
seen their father murdered in their
early childhood. After waiting eighteen
years they finally met the slayer of
their father face to face. The scene
which followed is highly dramatic and
ends with suicide of the slayer.
An address was made by Judge Cur
tis Wilbur, who paid a high tribute to
the qualities of the Japanese emperor.
One of the pretty happenings of the
evening was the unveiling of the picture
of the emperor, during which a deafen
ing shout was set up by the Japanese
portion of the audience.
The auditorium was prettily decorated
with Japanese flags and lanterns.
Searching for Runaway Boy
Word was received yesterday by Con
stable de la Monte to keep a strict
watch for Cecil Blankenahlp, a Stock
ton lad, who ran away from home sev
eral days ago. The message from trie
sheriff of Stockton asked that the boy,
if found, he held until his relatives
can send for him. Rlankenshlp left
home In company with a boy of his
own age. They rode bicycles and car
ried a shotgun.
Case Dismissed
The caiie against John V. Hoffman
before City Justice Austin was dis
missed yesterday afternoon by Prose
cuting Attorney Keyes on the grounds
that there was not sufficient evidence
to convict him of the charge of em
bezzlement preferred a week ago by
A. T. Steele, Hoffman was accused of
selling J250 worth of dlumonds that
Steele had loaned him, but develop
ments proved Hoffman was innocent
of tha charge.
Officer Captures Tough
In a desperate fight between Patrol
man Oker and Guy Hogee, near Main
and First streets, last evening, Hogee
slugged the officer and escaped. Within
a short time Oker had trailed the man
to the home of a friend and there ar
rested him. . The offlcer hug been
searching for Ilogee for several days to
serve a warrant charging Hogee with
striking Harry Neilson with a jar Sat
urday night.
