This is the famous death dip curve where the fatal accident on the Pacific Electric road occurred last August. According to the report made by J. N. Seeres, Alfred Wllholt, J. Jassaud, F. A. Markott and Charles Paul, the committee, a definite date will be set for the work to begin as soon as Attorney Dunn of tha Pacific Electric returns to Los Anpreles. The street railway company has already consented to the change being mane and, according to the committee, the members the board have also agreed that the work should now go ahead. Plans Are Drawn In a letter written to Chief Engineer George E. Pillsbury of the Pacific Electric by Horace B. Ferris, secretary of the board of public works, it is stated that the city engineer has for several months had plans for a new bridge, and only awaits formal notice, to have the work started. "The street railway company has been fair In all offers It has made," said Mr. Wilhoit last night. "Its officers seem to know the dangerous character of the curve there and wish to have it elimin ated. The board of purjllc works has noi come to the front In this matter the way It should, but the residents of this vicin ity now hope they have seen that It is necesary to have some change made and will not delay any longer." At the request of the members of the improvement association a police call box was placed on Brooklyn and Enchandia streets yesterday. The members of tho association have been striving during the last year to have a box placed In this location.

F. Donahue of Watts, tried yesterday before Justice Stephens on a charge of disturbing the peace. After hearing the case the justice ac quitted the mayor, nnd with a few ex ceptions the population of Watts left the court room rejoicing.

Lamb, a farmer who admitted he lived outside the incorporation of Watts, al though he had led the "dry" element In a vigorous campaign for the election of ano license mayor. Lamb was sup ported In his allegations by several witnesses, all of the prohibition party, who swore that the mayor, among other things, was unduly excited. The defense claimed that Lamb and a few of his cohorts were holding a condolence meeting in tho street in front of tho polling place, bewailing their recent defeat and promising to even things up at the election next April when the mayor ordered them to desist.

For nearly three-quarters of an hour after the accident happened Cochran was kept lying on the ground at the gas works suffering excruciatingly because of tho inability of the hospital to send promptly an ambulance to remove him, and it was not until after a call had been sent to Bresee Bros, for a conveyance that the sufferer could be moved from the spot and taken to where he could be given relief and surgical attention. In the mean time, despairing, of the coming of the emergency and general hospital ambu lance, the police patrol was sent for, but by the time it arrived there the Bresee ambulance had taken tho man away. According to the employes of the gas company nothing was known of Cochran until they heard his screams for help. Two or three workmen ran into the yard, where the carbon pits are located, and found the man rolling In agony on tho ground. It needed no explanation to tell what had happened him. The near by pit of boiling water on the edge of which he was lying, and the cooked appearance of his limbs was enough. In some way Cochran had walked or fallen into the pit and received his burns. The vats are level with the ground and uncovered. It Is probable that in passing through the grounds Cochran in the dark walked Into the pit. After he had scrambled out and before help came to him he had managed to tako off his trousers and undergar ments. Nothing Is known of who Cochran is, and the only information obtainable about him is that he is supposed to have rela tives living at 232 East First street. There was no one at home there last night to give any information concerning him. «-»-«.

He at once telephoned an alarm to the fire depart ment, and shortly after, as the firei seemed to be gaining headway, he turned in a box alarm. The fire department made a slow run to the scene and before the arrival of the apparatus the officer discharged his re volver in the air to attract the attention of other policemen. Sergeant Kriege and five officers hurried to the scene and the situation was explained. The officers then broke In the rear door of the paint establishment and with a number of buckets Secured from an empty building adjoining they formed a bucket brigade from a near-by hydrant, and by the time of the arrival of the fire depart ment had the blaze under control. Several barrels of linseed oil, one of which was on fire, were removed from the building by the officers to prevent an explosion and the consequent spreading of the flames. The loss to the establish ment is estimated at $100. KID SOLOMON PAYS FINE FOR KILLING BIRD When fined $10 by Justice Summerfield yesterday.

"How could he see me kill anything." protested Kid, "when he was washing pots when I went hunting?" He smiled when the fine was Imposed, and remarked as he paid it that it was a mere trifle.
