SAY DEPOT
IS COMING
WORK IS ONE OF MANY
MEASURES
CALLS FOR CORRESPONDENCE OF
MAGNITUDE
Street Car Companies Will Abandon
Contest of Ordinance Which
Calls for Installation
1 of Fenders
P Because of several unsettled problems of
architecture and street privilege prepara
tions ' for the new Los Angeles Arcade
depot to be erected by tne Soutnern Pa
cific on the site of the old structure are
making slow progress. '
The recent visit. of Traffic Chief Julius
' Kruttschnitt, it is thought, will hasten the
orders, but in the last few days there have
: been no visible signs of progressive
measures. , Local officials say, however,
: . that depot construction is a slow pro
cedure, as many questions are referred to
¦ the board of directors, and correspondence
passes between New York and San Fran
' cisco daily. concerning the depot matter.
Other California cities, besides, are clam
¦ oring for depots, and some of the plans
¦ are Interdependent. >
Trolley Companies Want Loops
I One of the latest problems dealing with
. the Arcade depot now before the board of
public works is the petition of several of
v the trolley companies which want to get
loops adjacent to the depot. As Fifth
street has been largely vacated for depot
purposes the car companies find that
space is scarce.
; - Under the plans they have submitted no
: i apace is allowed for wagon traffic. Ex
¦vpress : and baggage wagons would prac
tically be barred from access to the depot
If the ;. trolley engineers had their way.
' This possibly may be agreeable to rail
road officials who are Interested in trans
fer companies, " but the board members
say that they must look out for the pub-
He's interest, and the plans submitted by
the car companies take no account of the
I ¦mailer wagons' needs.
Many building projects are hanging lire
because of the uncertainty regarding when
operations shall begin, while the traveling
public constantly asks afflcials "When will
the new Arcade be built?"
Abandon Fender Contest
Unofficial advices at the city hall, which
are confirmed by attorneys for the trolley
companies, indicate that the proposed con
test against the city's order that all cars
within the city limits must be equipped
'. •with fenders Is off.
The companies will equip every car with
a fender.
All pending cases for violations will
come up Thursday before Police Judge
Frederickson and the offending companies
will be required to plead. The test ar
rests were made Monday under the ordin
ance which requires interurban as well as
; city cars to provide the safety devices.
Eclipse fenders have been ordered and
v - many are on the way now.
, I Because of the fact that the new Los
; Angeles-Pacific cars have curved fronts
these fenders will have to be reconstructed
for this type of cars, as others have
square fronts. Because of this change
- farther time will be asked of the city. < .
. Motonaan P. A. Wagner and Conductor
R. H. Wentworth were arraigned yester
r day morning before Judge Frederickson.
as they were usable to appear Monday
afternoon with General Masa^er Robert
Sherman.
RUMMAGE SALE IS
JUNKMAN'S DELIGHT
PATROLMAN CRAIG IS A REAL
HUMORIST
Police Station Thronged by Persons
Eager to Buy Things They Do
Not Want— City Gets
Profit
"Rummage sale: A sale consisting of
articles contributed by persons who didn't
want them and bought by others of the
same state of mind."
The property clerk of the police depart
ment held a rummage sale yesterday
morning that corresponded to this defin
ition with the sole exception that the
articles were not all contributed.
All the hand bags, suit cases, guns,
watches, bicycles and heterogeneous ar
ticles which ever delighted the soul of the
Junk man were brought out before the
crowd that packed its way Into the open
air auction room.
And they bought— bought greedily. Auc
tioneer Craig (patrolman) held up three
pairs of horse shoes. "These shoes are
worth 23 cents, who'll give me 30?" he
¦houted; and a gaping bidder In the front
responded, "Thirty!"
The agony opened with a collection of
•even women's pooketbooks. "Every one's
full." declared tho auctioneer, "and the
Lord only knows what's in them."
They were bid up to 65 cents; and the
first one opened was empty except for a
picture of a poorly olad woman squeezing
* little baby boy to her arms.
Half a dozen canes were brought out.
"All who are lame or ever hope to or ex
pct to be lame cnmn in on these canes,"
yelled the auctioneer.
"Ten cents." came from a Junk dealer.
Twenty- five cents was realized on the
tot.
Austioneer Is Humorist
"Here we have a fine new suit case,
suitable to take to see your best girl, or
have your best girl come to see you— or
nine one else." One dollar and seventy
flve cents claimed this prize.
In glowing terms the crier pictured the
delights that would accompany a fine
iarge lap robe. He told of the delightful
drives under long lanes of trees, where
the moonbeams couldn't come. So ele
vated were his hearers in the anticipation
of auch delights he got 12.25 for the robe.
A handsome leather suit case brought
12.65. Then came a dirty broken case of
Inferior leather. As the case was thrown
on the platform from its interior came a
faint click as of real money. Bidding for
this bonanza began at $1 and proceeded
spiritedly till It stopped at $3.50.
Penknives, small, large, medium sized,
rusty, shiny, good, bad and worse were
brought out in a large box and put up
en masse. The knives averaged In value
from nothing to about 30 cents. Tha slip
pery spieler coaxed J3.75 out of his aud
ience.
"Ha, a fine overcoat," he said as the
next article was brought forward. "Win
ter Is coming on und you'll need Just such
a coat as this." A fat little man on the
Bide, mopping the sweat from his brow,
¦eemed to doubt this plain statement, but
the auctioneer persisted in it. Possibly if
the sun had not been so hot on the bid
ders and they had been able to realize
that winter was really coming he might
have done better, but in the light of
present circumstances it seemed doubtful,
and the splendid garment— probably picked
up on some street corner— was sold at the
ridiculously low price of 75 cents.
Four pair of pants, which the seller de
clared by all the little gods of the police
station to be worth $1 a pair, were put
up. "They're all broadcloth." interpolated
his assistant. To the uninitiated they
looked like shoddy of the cheapest kind,
to be had at any north side store at any
time of the year for 75 cents. But the
word of the police carried weight The
four pairs were sold for |3.
Two hose nozzles brought 30 cents.
Johnny Is Stung
One of the best sales of the dny was a
box of assorted revolvers. Everything
from a modern Smith-Wesson to an old
flint lock seemed to be included In the
assortment. Among them were several
fine weapons. After a hot fight a second
hand dealer got the lot for $18.
A lady's fur of mole skin was produced.
Mindful of his success In playing on the
emotions of the bidders in the sale of the
lap robe, Auctioneer Craig tried to recall
the beautiful necks the fur had on'je
enwrapped; but it was not In condition to
arouse pleasant memories, and 75 cents
was all he could raise on it.
Two demijohns which once contained the
elixir of joy brought delighted comments
from the front row when they were pro
duced, but these expressions were sue
seeded by disappointment when the happy
ones learned that they were empty.
Two sporty looking patent leather spata
looked good looked good to the young fel
lows. One youth with a bright red tie
bid up the shoes to $1 and they were
knocked down to him before he learned
that the shoes were both for the right
foot. Then he backed down from the pur
chase.
Buyer Is Buncoed
During the long, exhausting work of the
morning the auctioneer was bothered con
siderably by youngsters who bid without
wanting the good*. The climax— and the
end of their bidding— came when a little
fellow bid 23 cents on a pile of dirty
blankets. "Sold to the kid," said the
auctioneer. But the kid was game. He
paid for the blankets and threw them in
to the trusties— though they do not appre
ciate blankets at this time of year.
Another little fellow started "to bid en
a can of oil. After he had made a bid of
45 cents a Junk dealer made the same bid
and tried to claim the oil. But the young
ster was brave and Insisted on his right
to the property, while the crowd cheered.
In a long case was brought a suit of
clothes. After discoursing on the merits
of the garments, the auctioneer called for
bids.. Bidding was active till his assistant,
to urge them on, pulled out the coat that
they might see what a fine garment It
was. There were no more bids made. The
coat did not come up to Its advertised
merits, and the last man to make a bid
before the disastrous appearance of tho
coat seemed to feel he had been buncoed.
Fully 90 per cent of the articles placed
up for sale were taken In by the second
hand men and ¦the Junk dealers. Almost a
hundred little fellows came down expect
ing to buy the wheels advertised. But on
most of the bicycles placed up for sale the
dealers put In their bids, always outbid
ding the little fellows by 25 or 50 cents. A
large assortment of sundries was divided
into three piles and sold.
The money taken In by the auctioneer's
clerk amounted to about $400, which will
be turned over to the city treasurer.

ROLLERS
IN FRENZY
CHILDREN PARTICIPATE
IN RELIGIOUS ORGY
CRAZED GIRLS IN ARMS OF BLACK
MEN
Residents In Vicinity of Camp Meeting
Describe Scenes Enacted Nightly
as Wild Sacrilegious I
Saturnalia
Calling upon the Lord to save her
cousin from the devil, who had made him
a cocaine fiend, a well -dressed woman of
intelligent appearance worked herself
Into a frrnzy at the camp meeting of the
Holy Rollers in the arroyo yesterday
afternoon, and closed her panßionnte ad
dress with a prayer to the congregation
to loin her In an appeal to God to save
the man from the habit that Is ruining
his life. , .
The scene was dramatic. On the pint
form sat a negro, one of the exhorters.
At his feet was a white girl, probably not
16 years old, who was swaying to and fro,
moaning ns though In pain and muttering
unintelligibly. One arm was raised above
her head and was kept in motion inces
santly Her muscles twitched, as though
shr were a sufferer from St. Vltun dance.
Near by was an elderly woman, a crip
ple who had been wheeled into the meet-
Ing in an Invalid's chfelr. She. too. moaned
and cried, varying the performance from
time to time with loud shouted "Hallelu
jahs."
Farther to the rear was another young
woman, with her husband. They looked
like bride and groom. The girl wife was
in a paroxysm of religious frenzy. From
time to time she would rise to her feet
find call out exhortations to the deity.
Once she became so excited that she
would have fallen to the ground hnd not
her young husband supported her. Her
face twitched and lit eyes stared in un
seeing gaze, straight ahead.
Sounds of Bedlam
A man rose to testify. His under Jaw
jrrked spasmodicaly. His voice came
with difficulty and finally he became
wholly unintelligible. It may have been
that this whs the "gift of tongues."
Negroes and whites fraternized to
gether Once, when a young white girl
lost control of herself and shouted wildly,
a big negro approached to quiet her. He
placed one arm around her and drew her
close to him. The girl became calmer,
but as soon as he left her, again resumed
her shouting.
From a shack to the left and rear of the
assembly tent came loud voiced exhorta
tions, shrieks and moanlngs. A placard
on the donr announced that this was the
•Vpper House." From the outside it
sounded like the "upper house" of bed
lam.
From the children's house, two or three
hundred feet distant, came th* voices of
little ones, high keyed and strained In
prayer. So far as they could they aped
the "antics of their elders.
It was a religious orgy; nerve racking,
terrifying, a scene to be remembered.
From the hills surrounding the arroyo
came strange sounds of lamentation and
moaning. Investigation proved that
children, youths and young Rlrls were
here praying to be delivered from the
devil and to be shown "the bride of
Christ."
Travesty on Religion
Beneath the trees they shouted, moaned
and cried aloud in a frenzy of excitement
At the top of their voices they pro
claimed that Christ had come into their
lives and redeemed them from sin. Even
the littlest tots gave this testimony,
children of kindergarten age. not , old
enough to know the meaning of the word
and whose only sin. If sin had touched
tiieni. must have been an inheritance from
mentally diseased parents or ancestors.
Last Sunday at the main meeting a 13
year-old boy is said to have been endowed
with, the "gift of tongues." Yesterday
there was none of this. From the plat
form It was explained that strangers
wer» in the audience, and more than once
oc« or the other of the exhorters, white
or black, left his place to quiet a too ex
citable follower.
An alienist -would have found much to
interest him In that large audience.
Malformed heads, neurasthenics, every
where the mentally deficient. The scene
was at cnee a traversty and a tragedy: a
travesty on religion: a tragedy of hu
man nature. It was both farcical and
pitiful, but pitiful most of all.
Neighbors Express Indignation
Around the tamn played little boys and
girls whose parents were inside "giving
themselves to Christ." One woman, nor
body swaying with emotion and her face
twitching, nourished an infant at her
breast. A negro, at her side, called upon
the Christ to save all sinners. In front,
a young girl, blonde and good looking, ap
parently not yet affected by rellgloui
neurasthenia, eyed tlio scene with Indif
ference and chatted confidentinlly with 8
youth during the prayers. She, too, how
ever, was a camper*
Residents In the vicinity of this tent city
of religious manlnos express widely di
vergent opinions of the soot there holding
forth. Some few say Hiey believe the
meeting is doing a good work. Others ex
press intense Indlgnntion that little chil
dren should be compelled to witness such
¦cenes of mental unbalance ns are hourly
enacted at the pl:io«\
One woman f<:ild Hhc had been told that
babies frequently hnd been obliged to go
without food for a day at a time while
their parents attended the meetings. She
added, however, that no such case had
come under her personal observation.
Sacrilegious Orgy
The Holy Rollers' tents extend along
both aides of the nrroyn for a distance of
perhaps half a mile. There are hundreds
of them. The tents themselves are well
kept und comfortably furnished. In them
live negroes and whites, side by side.
There are hundreds of "Holy Rollers"
here encamped, and hundreds of little
children, scores of them already obsessed
by this curious mental disease, masque
rading as religion. >
One pretty little girl, about 15 years old,
yesterday advised two.of her little com
panions to tell visiting "Christians" what
they thought of them.
"They come down here," she said, "Just
to watch us. We don't want them here.
I feel like telling them to go and get
Christ In their heart and theji to oome
back and Join us. Next time I am going
to be brave enough to do It. You ought
to. too."
The others looked at her in awed In
dorsement of what .she had said.
The principal address at the afternoon
meeting yesterday, under the main tent,
watt of a character that forbids, its publi
cation. To the ordinary man it would
have seemed Indecently sacrilegious, but
the Holy Rollers punctuated the talk
with frequent "halleluiahs" and calls of,
"Praise God," "Bless the Lord," and
other similar religious expletives. It was
a religious saturnalia, an orgy of religion
crazed minds.

LIVES THOUGH HER
NECK IS BROKEN
INJURY RESULTS FROM CLOSING
OF BED
Loving Mother Watches Ceaselessly
by the Side of Daughter
Whose Life Hangs
in Balance
Though reputed to be a Christian Sci
entist, Miss Dawn MacPherson, whose
neck was broken by a folding bed, Is be
ing kept alike by expert surgery at the
Good Samaritan hospital.
Her mother sits by her bed constantly,
hoping that nature will win In the un
equal fight, with all odds against the un
fortunate 17-year-old girl..
As by a strange impulse mother And
daughter went to Venice Sunday, return-
Ing on the street car which ran down and
killed Miss Am;- Lang near Gramercy
place. The dread sight affected them
both, and neither could sleep soundly.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Monday morning
the folding bed in which both lay, at l::il
Hill street, closed up. clasping them both
so firmly that for fifteen minutes they
were helpless, unable- to attract atten
tion to their frightful dilemma. Their
nervousness from seeing the previous ac
cident probably caused them to toss and
roll in their sleep.
Finally the mother, who Is smaller than
her daughter, got her he;»d out far enough
to shriek. Through the open windows
the cries were heard, bringing help in a
few minutes.
Struggles Cause Dislocation
Miss Dawn Is considerably taller than
her mother, hence she became wedged in
at the head rest, and the fifth section of
the vertebrae was dislocated, probably
in her efforts. to free herself.
She could not speak when released, but
was paralyzed below the line of the biulse
which was plainly visible on her nock.
As soon as possible the fair prisoner
was removed to thn hospital, the delay
In releasing her, even with the ass! itanoa
of two strong men, adding to the serious
complications.
X ray photographs were taken at rnce.
These showed the location of the frac
ture but did not reveal whether the spinal
cord had been affected seriously. If this
cord Is torn, death will probably ensue
In a few days, say the surgeons. They
have only the muscular and nerve symp
toms to guide them at present.
Castors Had Been Removed
The bed was a heavy one from which
the castors had been removed. This
caused the heavy section of the bed to
tilt over toward the sleepers, especially
when the drop section was lowered.
They had probably neglected to attach
the safety lock, and the henvy section
careened over on them as they lny help
less on the lighter section. The entire
weight of the cumbersome folding, sta
tionary part, when it dropped forward,
caught their heads as in a vise.
The MacPhersons came here from Salt
Lake City, it is said, a year ago, and took
apartments nt Hill street four months
ago. Mrs. MacPherson was anxious to
have her daughter take a course in dress
making, and went to this apartment be
cause it seemed convenient for the pur
pose. The mother owns property In Salt
Lake City. Los Angeles and Pasadena,
but has been non-communicative regard
ing her business interests and family.
She is a Norwegian and her husband n
Scotchman. They came to the United
States from Canada.
Mrs. W. Tompklns. to whose rare pres
ence of mind the victims probnftly owe
much, was the first to reach the room Of
the MacPhersons. She called to other
occupants of the house for help. The
force of the crash was such that a side
rail In the bed was broken, and the two
women who first responded could not
move the bed. Two male neighbors with
pistols In hand rushed upstairs, thinking
burglars caused the scare. They finally
opened the bed and released the girl.

charge of Duty
Having forced most of tho downtown
restaurant keepers to give some atten
tion to the restaurant ordinances of the
city council, Restaurant Inspector Schwr
gul has turned his attention to the restau
rants north of First street in these
he says he has found conditions which
are almost unbelievable by ..ny who have
not seen the sights with their own eyes.
Saturday, Bunday and yesterday Bohwe-
Kei went to the establlshntenta on North
MTiin iinri Commerpla) streets and ob
tained evidence from thus.' places which
had refused to herd the warnings given
some time before that they must "clean
up."
From the piece of Jack Fllipfon he took
some "evidence" out of the ice box.
Schwrgel says the l"'x was full of ver
min; that tin- tlsli which were in the box
seemed almost to bo swimming in crawly
things.
Friends Haste Away
Ho confiscated the stuff and took It to
Deputy City ProieotKor Fords office.
Ford saw him coming with the can, and,
remembering a previous experience with
a big stock kettle from an Allho street
restaurant, he met the restaurant In
spector half way, und told him he would
refuse a complaint to any one who
brought such disagreeable evidence to hla
office. "It Is too near lunch time, Mr.
Schwegel." Ford murmured. "Please take
It away. Then you can have a dozen
complaints If you want them. Ugh!" and
he turned his face away.
Schwegel removed the stuff and re
turned later for h!» complaint. Yester
day morning Filiplch was arraigned be
fore Justice Fredriekson. He pleaded not
guilty and asked for an immediate trial.
He dfd /not dispute the evidence of
Schwegel, and when the Inspector told
his experience with Ford, the Justice's
eyes twinkled.
Schwegel said it was very annoying to
have FUlpich persist in disobeying the
orders of the health department In re
spect to keeping decayed meats and other
unhealthful foods. He said that unless
the court found Filiplch guilty the efforts
of the health officers to make clean res
taurants would be foiled and they would
be laughed at. Fredriekson lined Filiplch
$60. If the gloomy look on the man's
face Is any criterion, Fillpich will not
laugh at the health department any more
when they tell him to clean up.
Finds No Place for Package
The health Inspector said he had a very
strenuous time yesterday endeavoring to
find ;, place to keep some evidence which
