ANTI-HOLLOW BLOCK
MEASURE BECOMES LAW
MAYOR McALEER DID NOT VETO
CONCRETE BILL
Simply Asked Councilmen in a Special
Message to Consider Letters Which
He Forwarded, but Which the
City's Lawmakers Ignored
Mayor McAleer sent to the council
yesterday a lengthy message asking
that body to consider carefully letters
which he forwarded with his message
bearing on the proposed new building
ordinance.
The letters are in the Interest of hol
low block and artificial stone and give
reasons why discrimination should not
be practiced In making laws which bar
the Los Angeles made building mate
rials.
The letter contained no recommenda
tion and simply left the situation for
public! discussion in the city hall.
While it was read the council cham
ber filled up with a delegation of hol
low block men, who are arrayed In a
three-cornered fight with the brick men
on one side and the concrete men on
the other.
The mayor's letter was referred to
the building committee and the delega
tion remained listening to other busi
ness as it came up.
When the table had been cleared and
the delegation became anxious Chair
man Verge finally got the floor and
started to make a protest against legis
lation which would kill the artificial
stone Industry and lay off three hundred
workmen.
It then appeared that as ten days had
elapsed since the measure was passed
and the mayor has returned it with
only a message asking for consideration
of letters, that the bill became a law
of Its own action. All that was needed
was the legal publication.
Chagrined, the artificial stone men
left the council room.
The concrete men had won the day.
No one seemed to know why the
mayor had not vetoed the bill when It
was semi-offlclally given out that ho
would, and the question was asked
whether the collapse of the Hotel Blxby
at Long Beach had anything to do with
the mayor's attitude.
CITY HALL NOTES
JOEL BEAN and others who asked
for the vacation of a portion of Mara
thon street from Dillon to Micheltorenti

adena avenue. The city engineer esti
mated the damages at $98; the claim

terday authorized a settlement on the
latter basis.

serves are reported flourishing. They

TITHE GIVING
IS DISCUSSED
METHODISTS PLEAD FOR ONE
TENTH INCOME
Rev. Robert 8. Fiiher Reads a Paper
Advocating the Laying Aside of
the Biblical Fraction
for Churches
The subject of tithing according to
the mi. lent and modern methods was
brought before the Methodist ministers
at their meeting restarted morning at
the First Methodist church. Ilev. Kob
•fi B. Fisher read the paper for dis
cussion. He said In part:
"There nip some who are constitu
tionally tight and have no desire to
be IMMM& Th.-y Mri* lustily, 'I'll Go
With Him All the Way,' but thoy havn
never Uioiißht tlmt he would pftSH by
the paying teller's window of the In
stitution where they bank. Then there
arc some of the select souls who pro
fess to ba 'All for Jesus,' so that tith
ing their Income Is superfluous, since
all they havp Is his. Does It not seem
presumptuous of these people to tnke
money, all of which Is God's, to pay
for Ice cream sodas and trips to the
beach?
"The average annual Income of every
man, woman and child In this country
Is about $200. At thl* low figure, how
ever, tho Itvome of Methodists would
•'igsregate $600,000,000. One tithe would
be $60,000,000, but Instead we put up a
paltry $24,000,000 and pilfer the treasury
of God at the rate of $36,000,000 annual
ly. Yet we allow ourselves to say hard
things about corporations evading their
Just proportions of taxes and then won
der why conversions are so scarce.
Methodists Give Less
"The wealth of the country Increased
$25,000,000,000 from 1890 to 1900, which is
more than the savings from the begin
ning of history to the declaration of
Independence. And yet the shame of it
Is that Methodists today give less per
capita to foreign missions than thirty
years ago.
"The Chinese devote $100,000,000 an
nually to ancestral worship. The Mor
mons pay tithes strictly and have
money In plenty for their nefarious
brand of propaganda.
"But we Methodlnts have been blow-
Ing our horns while we have dropped
from first to fifth place, statistically,
and we allow the United States to
spend more for one battleship than we
do In a year for all our missions. We
seem unmindful that 12,000,000 of
heathen die in darkness every year.
"I believe in the principle of the
tithes rather than In the technicality.
Here Is a point for divergence In our
views of the subject. Some insist on
the exact language of the ancient law
which demands the storehouse as the
place of or the bringing In of the tithes.
Others leave this point to the Individual
and insist that It shall rest between a
man and his God and that the essen
tial is the paying of the tithes.
"The favoring of the latter view lies
In the fact that a personal responsi
bility and intelligence created and de
veloped tends to enhance the Individual
sense of direct duty to God.
None Is Too Poor
"Shall the tithe be one-tenth of our
net or gross Income? I maintain that It
should be the net income.
"Some contend that they are too poor
to give tithes. Never! Never! Some
men are too poor {o be In business for
themselves and are fortunate to find
employers who will exchange compen
sation for service. This plan Is not
always agTeeat)le, but what small
dealer would not be glad to go into
partnership with the wholesale house
at the ratio of 10 to 1? Tithing is go-
Ing into partnership with God and It
Is the exercise of pitiful credulity. It is
no makeshift.
"God shares our poverty with us. We
give him one to ten and receive from
him bonds sealed with truth and
thumbed with blood, guaranteeing to us
ten to one.
"We are never too poor nor too rich
to give tithes. It Is the greatest bargain
a man can strike for the life that now
is and that which is to come."
Should Be Gross Income
In the discussion which followed the
reading of the paper Presiding Elder
Adkinson thought that it should be the
tenth of the gross Income in the giving
of tithes, saying that "the net would be
whittled down to almost nothing."
In speaking of the proportions in
giving tithes Presiding Elder Adkin
son continued:
"It seems that a man giveß more
freely his $100 on his $1000 income than
tho one does the $1000 of his $10,000 in
come, and so on In the same propor
tion."
Rev. Mr. Corey said that the people
nowadays paid their tithes in such a
weak way and that they ought to keep
a book account and pay systematically.
Rev. A. E. Johnson of Long Beach
said he believed that the one-tenth of
his income belonged to his God and
thut he was not really giving anything
unless over and above the one-tenth.
Other ministers gave their ideas re
garding the giving of tithes.
Rev. J. A. Johnson, in charge of the
rebuilding of the Methodist churches in
San Francisco, spoke of the distressing
condition of the churches in the de
vastated city, giving some encourage
ment of the ingathering of some of th<
members that were scattered.
Dr. E. James, In charge of the Chi
nese mission work on this coast, hav
ing recently come from China, spoke of
some of the conditions there.
POLITICIAN CHANGES HIS MIND
Wants Case Against Precinct Captain
Dismissed When He Learn*
Defendant's Position
John Neforney, an aspiring political
boss living in the Ninth ward, felt very
badly yesterday because Charles Cava
nuugh shot his pet fox terrier Sunday
aft«rnoon tor running In front of a
motorcycle he was riding past Nefor
ney's house,
Neforney swore out a warrant against
Cavunaugh and the warrant was served
by Officer Mitchell of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Soon after Cuvamlugh was arrested
Neforney watt Informed that Cava
naugh is a precinct captain in the
Ninth ward. That made things look
different to Nefomej at OQOC, and lie
rushed to thi touting uttor
ney's office In the effort to have the
charge against Cavanaugh withdrawn.
The attorney stoutly refused to thwart
the course of the law und Cuvunaugh
onsequently stand trial for kill
ing Neforney's pet fox terrier.
Incidentally It Is whispered that Ne
forney'B prestige in Cavanaugh'a pre
cinct has suffered a nudden relapse.

'"1 with their shoes newly polished,
the little orphans of the Los Angeles
Orphans' home, corner Yale and Alpine
streets, will show their guests through
their home and proudly point mit their
own work In sewing and carpentry,
and will probably «yen prevail upon
some of the guests to sample their
cooking, for the home Is. to give a re
ception today from 2 to 9 o'clock.
Everything Is In readiness for tho
guests, mill the children have been
working for days to fix all their small
belongings In tin- tidiest condition pos
sible and. to get all their best work
ready for inspection. The little girls
have been leaning over the stoves and
pricking their fingers with sharp
needles, and tha boys have been plying
hammer and saw for the last few weeks,
all in delightful expectation or this
eventful day.
The managers of the home have
found It hard work this year to provide
their little charges with food and
clothing on account of the building re
pairs which had to be made, and today's
reception will be held to give those a
chance who have subscribed toward the
$5000 needed and other friends of the
home to see Its Inmates and their con
dition. Mrs. Nathan Cole jr., Miss
Edith Cliff, Miss Edna Noymar nnd
Mrs. Kgelhoff-Rund«t will pour ten

Friday Morning Club Tea
What promises to be an artistic treat
to all art and beauty lovers of Los An
geles will be the exhibition of the metal
work of A. de Wolffers, which, is to be
given today by the members of the
Friday Morning club in the Woman's
club house, Ninth and Figueroa streets,
on the occasion of their monthly tea.
Mr. de Wolfers Is a San Francisco
refugee, and most of his work was
destroyed by the fire, but he saved sev
eral precious pieces, and since then has
been working on new creations. In San
Francisco he was well known, and his
work was greatly In demand, but since
April 18 his story has been what thou
sands of others have to tell — no money,
no friends and no way to make a start.
Mr. de Wolfers is almost an old man
now, but his hands have lost none of
their skill.
Since the Friday Morning club has
espoused his cause he will probably
have little more to fear from the hungry
wolf, as the taste of the Friday Morn
ing club members is well known, but
even without their patronage his works
would add beauty to any home.

Miss Anita Patton made her formal
debut in society last evening at a dan
cing party at Kramer'B given by her

WOMEN'S CLUBS
Professor Nesbitt Talks to Club
"The children have more of a moral
influence upon the parents than tin;
parents have upon the children," was
the gist of the discourse given by Prof.
Norman Hill Nesbitt yesterday before
the Ebell club.
Mr. Nesbitt declared that the children
have more of a spiritual influence than
anybody or anything else and that they.
are absolutely necessary to a spiritual
development. His theme was "The In
fluence of the Child Mind in Civiliza
tion," and he gave a clear and compre
hensive talk. Mr. Nesbitt has studied
the subject for years and given a great
deal of thought to It.
A petition to abolish the billboard
nuisance was presented by Mrs. J. F,
Kanst for the signatures of the Ebell
club members, and two vocal solos,
"The Year 's at the Spring," by Mrs. H.
H. A. Beach, and "Violets," by Roma,
were finely given by Mlas Emma Gu
thaus. Mrs. W. H. Jamison gave a
piano solo.
To Talk on Current Events
The members of the Highland Park
Ebell will talk on current events today
with Mrs. Jane M. Beatty in charge. A
mußical program will ulso be given.
MAPLE AVENUE INTERESTED
Property Owners Take Sides in Widen,
ing Proposition from Fifth
Street South
Maple avenue property owners ap
peared In force before the board of
public works yesterday to watcn ac
tion on the proposition to widen Maple
avenue, from Fifth street to Wash
ington. _
The plan is to take tlve feet off each
side, in order to miike tho thoroughfare
equal all its length.
Most of the property owners repre
sented the district from Fifth to Sev
enth street, though some represented
territory farther south.
The board finally set v hearing on
November 26 at a p. m.
The Impression prevails that the
bourd will probably omit the section
between Fifth and S.-vmth streets
i mm, i the scheme, and make everything
Houth of that of a uniform width.

COUNCIL HEARS
PROTESTS READ
BOYLE HEIGHTS OBJECTS TO
FERTILIZER PLANTS
Councilmen Said to Be Financially
Interested in Lands Which Are
to Be Sequestered for
Odor Factories
Protests were read yesterday In the
council chamber against the ordinance
providing for a special district in which
fertilizer plants may be operated.
Lots are specified in the M. L. Wicks
subdivision and In the South & Porter
tract In which It is proposed to con
fine these works.
The essence of the protests was that
the odors would prove intolerable to
the nearby residents and mean much
loss for them. This protest was re
ferred to the legislative committee.
Councilman Ford appeared to be
anxious to have the measure passed
when ' it was first Introduced last
month, but yesterday there was no
debate on the subject.
The proposed district Is between
Tenth and Eleventh streets, fronting
on the Santa Fe tracks, and the objec
tions came mainly from Boyle Heights
residents, who say that the winds will
blow the stench In their direction.
Goodwin on Hand
The presence at the council meeting
yesterday of Wlllard L. Goodwin, for
merly clerk of the council, was con
&trued to have some bearing on this
fertilizer sequestration proposition, as
Goodwin and Councilmen Blanchard
and Hlller are said to be Interested in
a syndicate which purchased this prop
erty last spring.
When the syndicate purchased the
property the Salt Luke railroad made
application for a franchise through the
alley just east of Santu Fe avenue,
but Mayor McAleer vetoed this project.
The legislative committee will prob
ably have a hearing before the fertil
izer scheme comes up for final action,
ln which event some interesting devel
opments may crop out. i: : « *>."'■

himself a rescuer of beauty in distress

Doe," as she was in such condition it
was Impossible for her to tell her name
when brought in. She had been riding
on a Spring street car, but near First
became noisy and was taken from the
car. She was well dressed, pretty and
about 20 years old. A crowd gathered
at once and began to sympathize with
her. One of them was the councilman
who, after looking at her Intently for a
few minutes, turned to the policeman
and said:
"This is too nice a looking woman
to take to the station in a patrol
wagon. Call a hack and I'll pay for It."
The policeman did so and the woman
rode to the station in style.

CHECK PEOPLE'S
BOILER SCHEME
GAS COMPANY RUNS COUNTER
TO CITY'S WISH
Fire Commissioners Are Directed by
the Council to Prevent Increasing
Boiler Plant on St. John
Street
The People's Gas company applied to
the council yesterday for permission
to operate three steam boilers In the
making of gas at its plant on St. John
street.
Protests were read opposing the step
In view of the ordinance against the
erection, maintenance and operation of
gas plants in certain districts.
Councilman Healy's constituents are
fighting the move of the company and
their wishes were summarized in a
resolution asking that the board of flrc
commissioners enforce the ordinance
against granting permits of this charac
ter in forbidden districts.
The resolution carried.
The fact* that this company refuses
to make reports of its business to the
city was one of the reasons cited In the
debate why the petition should not bo
granted.
GAS FOR FUEL.
GAS Fuel is clean, therefore
healthy; it is also economical.
