unworkmanlike and unsatisfactory
work on contracts. ■
Two cases have Just been presented
to the board that are deemed specially
lh grant, according to the tux payers.
The work on Fickett street, between
First and Fourth, has aroused the Ire
of property owners and Councilman
Hlanchard la quoted as saying that
with a cane he krocked oft sections
of the concrete work placed there.
The complainants say the work is
not done according to specifications,
lt unworkmanlike and demand that the
entire Job be done over. •
Tliosp who have nmrt-e tholr griov
, t public are William J. Weishanß,
[da M, Oray, Margaret Shaffer, viroqim

On Ida Street
Property owners on Ida street (now
< 'cirniiado) at the old Temple street
end, have also filed complaint about the
contract work done there.
The street has been filled with loose
dirt to bring it up to grade, it Is
c harsed, but no tamping; or rolling wan
done, Riving It an imperfect founda
tion. This was the case, too, under
the sidewalk line, with the result that
rain will wash away the foundation,
undermine the sidewalk and crack the
concrete.
The specifications provide that roll
ing and tamping must be done as
every foot of the filling is put on, and
plenty of water must be used to cause
settlement.
The West Temple Street Improvement
association has filed the charges In
this case.
WOMAN LOSES PEACE CASE
Interpretation of Hebrew Word Shows
It Is Not So Bad as It
Sounded
Mrs. Sarah Azarow, 661 Carrlllo
street, accused Louis Sossman, a plumb
er. In police court yesterday of having
called her vile names and disturbing
the peace on the night of October 30,
at First and San Pedro streets.
Sossman charged in rebuttal that
Mrs. Azarow had slapped him six times
tn succession while he stood on the
street In front of a bakery talking with
a friend. He said he had neither said
nor done anything to the -woman -when
she had so abused him, and won the
Ilattering praise from Deputy City Pros
ecuting Attorney Eddie that he was a
•model of virtue and manliness" for his
rather unusual passiveness when being
soundly slapped in the face, especially,
Mr. Eddie continued, as he has the rep
utation of possessing a very free and
vitriolic tongue.
He admitted calling Mrs. Azarow a
"honehi," which was the epithet she
accused him of flinging at her, but said
that the word was a Hebrew one anil
meant nothing worse than a slovenly,
peasant woman. Mrs. Azarow had in
terpreted the word in an entirely dif
ferent manner.
Sossman said that the trouble between
him and Mrs. Azarow had been started
over a bill for plumbing work done by
him at her house, for which she refused
to pay.
Police Judge Rose adjudged Soßsman
not guilty of disturbing the peace or
calling Mrs. Sossman vile names.
NEGRO IS HELD FOR MURDER
Plea of Defense for Manslaughter
Charge Denied by Justice of
the Lower Court
James H. Flemmlng, a negro charged
wtih shooting and killing John S. Smith,
negro, at 739 Clanton street on the af
ternoon of November 2, was arraigned
yeßterday afternoon in Justice Austin's
court and held to the superior court on
a charge of murder.
The attorney for the defense made a
strong: argument to the effect that only
a charge of manslaughter could be held
against Plemming, as he had shot Smith
while angered by insult nnd assault.
Justice Austin, however, decided that
the case was one of murder in the first
degree.
The trouble which led to the killiiiß
of timith was a quarrel over some whis
ky Masks, which Smith accused Flem
ming of stealing from him. During tho
argument Smith struck Flemmlng over
the head, according to the testimony of
Witnesses, With a heavy club, inflicting
a deep scalp wound. Flemmhig left tbe
room and returned with a big revolver.
which he is said to have aimed at Smith
and fired.
Smith' died shortly after being shot,
at the receiving tin i .i i ..I, and in an
inte-inortem Statement accused Flem
mliis,' of having wounded him, Flem
miiiK surrendered himself to the police
within a few hours of the time Ihi
crime occurred.

STATE LEADS IN
FOLKLORE GROWTH
PROF. A. L KROEBER HERE TO
AROUSE INTEREST
Indians Will Be the Topic of the
President of the American Asso
ciation, Who Is Pushing
the Work
Those interested in folklore on the
Pacific coast will gather tonight in
Unity church, 925 South Flower street,
to hear an interesting discussion on
the language, songs and customs of
tho Indians, with lantern slide accom
paniment.
Residents of Los Angeles will doubt
less take an active interest in this
work as the result of the visit here of
Prof. A. L. Kroeber of the chair of
anthropology of the University of
California, who expects to spend a
week here arousing enthusiasm in be
half of- the California branch of the
American Folklore society.
The American society is a national
organization, founded eighteen years
ago, with branch societies in many
states, and not until last year were
western states included.
California Leads
Among the most recent and most
successful branch societies is that of
California. It was founded only a
year ago in Berkeley and San Fran
cisco. It was organized under most
favorable conditions and has proved
not only the most active but the larg
est of all the branch societies.
1 A number of prominent Californians
have been affiliated from the begin
ning, including Charles F. Lummls as
one of the officers. Miss Grace Nichol
son and A. C. Vroman of Pasadena.
The meeting tonight will be of spe
cial interest, as the speaker, who will
address the meeting on "Folklore of
the California Indians," is Prof.
Kroeber, who Is also president of the
national society and secretary of tho
California branch.
Prof. Kroeber has been connected
with the ethnological and archaeolo
gical survey of the state university
for five years, and has devoted much
of his time to study and research of
the redskins, collecting many objects
of interest and innumerable pictures,
some of which will be shown during
the talk.
The California society is particularly
favored by the richness of material
for study within its reach, Mexico, In
dian and Oriental elements in the pop
ulation affording opportunity for di
rect and varied investigation, un
equaled elsewhere, and Southern Cali
fornia is even richer than the remain
der of the state. There is therefore no
reason why there should not grow in
this city a society which will flourish
and be a pride to Southern California,
say its officers.
The meeting will be held at 8 o'clock
at Unity church. Charles F. Lummls
will preside and will introduce the
meeting with a presentation of phono
graph records of Indian songs.
NEIGHBORS SEEK WARRANTS
One Claims to Have Been Assaulted
Through Rumors of Sayings
About Another's Wife
O. F. Mullin, 1132 South Mott street,
applied to the city prosecuting attor
ney yesterday for a complaint against
Thomas Strain, 1145 Orme street, alleg
ing that he was assaulted by the lat
ter.
Mullin says that while he was on a
street car several days ago he was ae
eosted by Strain, who was angry be
cause of statements he accused Mullin
of making regarding his wife.
The whole trouble appears to be a case
of mutual dislike, and the prosecuting
attorney will make a close investigation
on both sides before issuing a com
plaint.
NINTH WARD WANTS SEWERS
Board of Public Works Points Out an
Error Concerning Bond
Moneys
The Ninth Ward Improvement jisso
clatlon has asked the board of public
works concerning the lateral sewers in
that ward.
Members of the association aro in
clined to think that bonds recently vot
e.l and nold were for the purpose ■of
constructing these sewers. They are
under the impression that City Treas
urer Workman told them that $270,000
liul accumulated In the treasury in (his
particular fund.
Members of the board, however, say
that this is an error— that the last bond
lssue for storm sewer bonds was- de
feated. . \ ■.■•.•
Sanitary sewers have been provided
fur in the scheme but not storm sew
ers.

build Its own steam dredger.
The question was referred to the de
partment by the honrd of public works
Hf"ftrr thu bid of the Atlantic, Oulf &

Oflt of placing the machinery.
The dredger is for use In the Owens
river work and will be similar to the
one In use at Naples, which is the
property of the same bidder. This
company has its own steam machinery
plants scattered over the -country,

DANCE TO PROVIDE FUNDS
Girl Students Helped Through College
by Money Furnished by
Association
The gymnasium of the Los Angeles
high school was the scene of gay fes
tivities yesterday afternoon when a
large number of the students gathered
to hold the semi-annual scholarship
dance. The affair was given under the
auspices of the Scholarship associa
tion and had for its object the raising
of funds for the society.
The association Is a philanthropic in
stitution of the students, organized for
the purpose of sending one or more
girls from each graduating class to
college since its inception seven years
ago the society has provided funfls for
eighteen girls.
The money raised is never given out
right to the student, but is made as a
loan, to be paid as soon as the recipient
can tlo so. Each one is given $250 to
help her through the first year at col
lege, after which It is expected that
she Will get the necessary funds from
some other source. Of the eighteen who
have received funds in the. past one
has already paid back the amount with
Interest, and four more are paying at
present. One of the girls who was en
abled to go through college by* the
aid of the association is now teaching
at Polytechnic high school.
The membership Is restricted to the
membership of the senior class, but
for the small sum of 10 cents the boys
can become honorary members. Each
term candy and confection sales,
dances and all sorts of wiles are prac
ticed by the fair members of the body
to separate the masculine portion of the
school from their dimes. In addition,
otuside aid is frequently extended to
increase the fund, and in previous years
a substantial amount has been raised.
HUNTINGTON IN FAVOR OF
THE GREAT EXPOSITION
Leaders in the movement to hold in
Los Angeles the Universal Peace and
Commerce exposition thus far have
failed to get into telegraphic communi
cation with H. E. Huntington to se
cure from him his positive indorsement
of the project.
While all those who are connected
with the affair have personal knowl
edge that Mr. Huntington has been
greatly interested in the proposed ex
position and really has been probably
the prime mover in the plan, they de
sire to lay before the chamber of com
merce committee on expositions Mr.
Huntlngton's own statement.
A. M. Parsons last Wednesday sent
Mr. Huntingdon a telegram, but it has
failed to reach the street railway mag
nate owing to the fact that he is mak
ing a side trip somewhere in the east.
However, it Is confidently expected by
Mr. Parsons that he will hear from Mr.
Huntington before next Tuesday night,
when the chamber of commerce com
mittee on expositions will hold Its first
meeting.
