OTIS Copper Tablet on Wall Is Lasting Tribute to Friend of Move. merit to Aid Young Women Proud in the possession of their new home and anxious to show off Its fine points to their friends, the members of the Y. W. C. A. have formed them- selves into committees and lead person- ally conducted tours to all parts of the magnificent structure recently com- pleted on Hill street between Second and Third. To the left of the main entrance and connecting with the lobby is the li- brary room. It is furnished by the Eliza A. Otis Memorial association. On the wall to the left of the en- trance is a tablet of copper. It bears this inscription: "This library room was built to hon- or the memory of Eliza A. Otis (Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis). The builders, her memorial association, thereby pay- ing unique and lasting tribute to her spotless name as woman, wife, mother, friend and life-long devotee of letters; who loved her country and race; who for a quarter of a century was a tire- less literary worker, Impressing her- self through her pen upon tlie thought of California; and who counted books as among her most cherished com- panions. "Born 1833; died November 12, 1804, after more than two decades of useful and brilliant staff service with the Los Angeles Times. This enduring tablet was reverently conceived and devised by her nusband; and in June, 1908, was placed in position by the architect and builders, the Eliza A. Otis Memorial association acting in conjunction with the Young AVomen's Christian asso- ciation." The fifteenth annual business meet- ing of the association was held in the new building last night when reports from the various departments were read and the keys of the new building formally turned over to Mrs. Dewey, president of the association. Miss Grace Dodge, national chairman, extended greetings, as did also Mrs. Carl Johnson, treasurer of the terri- torial committee. Reminiscences were given by Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, Mrs. L. A. Rosb and Dr. Rose T. Bullard. Mrs. Frank Bryson and Miss Nellie McPher- rin gave solos, while music was fur- nished during the evening by the as- sociation orchestra. Reports from the various depart- ments were followed by the reports of the building committee and remarks by Miss Tatham, the general secretary. TRACE ODORS TO MISUSE OF HILL STREET DRAIN On investigation by City Engineer Homer Hamlin's men it has been found that the obnoxious odors which arise from the catch basin at Fourth and Hill streets are undoubtedly due to the fact that sewage is being dis- charged into the storm drain between Third and Fourth streets. This drain is a 22-inch pipe, and the point where the house connection is supposed to be made can be ascer- tained by the street department. In case houso connection is encoun- tered Engineer Hamlin recommends that rigid investigation should be made and the guilty parties punished, espe- cially as there is and has been for many years a sanitary sewer of ample size on the street. After the house connection to the sanitary sewer is properly made 'the storm sewer will be thoroughly flushed out from the fire hydrants. NEWS OF THE COURTS WOMAN FINED FOR TALKING TO JUROR BERTHA CHASE PUNISHED FOR CONTEMPT Ordered to Pay One Hundred Dollar* or Go to Jail for Five Days, She Choose* the Former Found guilty of contempt of court by Judge James In the superior court yes- terday Misa Bertha Chase of Santa Monica was fined $100 or the alterna- tive of five days in the county Jail. The specific charge against Miss Chase was that she tried to influence Juror Charles L. Palmer, who was serving on the Jury in the McComas murder trial a short time ago, by reading to him extracts from letters she had received from McComas ten Palmer testified that Miss Chase, who lives across the street from him In Santa Monica, came to his home one evening and read to him almost the entire contents of a four or five-page letter, and after finishing told him the letter was received by her from Mc- Comas. He declared she had not told him who the letter was from until after she had read it. He claimed Miss Chase told him Mrs. McComas was either dead or divorced and that both were nice people when she knew them in Mexico ten years ago. The second time he met the defend- ant was Thursday, May 28. He was walking along Broadway near the city hall when Miss Chase, who was on the opposite side of the street, came over to where he was and said: "Will you escort me home tonight?" The wit- ness said he told her she had better take a car and go home, but she replied that she was going to see the end of the trial. This, he stated, was be- tween 6:30 and 7 o'clock in the even- ing. After the evening session of court adjourned at about 8:45 o'clock, he de- clared, he met Miss Chase at First and Broadway, and when he approached her Miss Prizgint, who had attended the sessions of court with Miss Chase, left. He and Miss Chase boarded the 9:05 o'clock car and sat in the same seat. When questioned as to the conversa- tion while on the car Palmer said Miss Chase told him Mrs. McComas was alive nnd in San Francisco. He said he noticed the young woman carried some letters in her hand and he re- marked to her: "Are you still carrying those letters?" and told her she had better tie them up or she might lose them Then she took her handkerchief and tied it around them. When asked if she read extracts from the letters while on the car that evening he said he was not sure, that he was tired at that time and did not pay much atten- tion to what she said. On cross-examination he testified that the letters from which she read extracts to him were dated in 1898. He declared the woman's conversation with him did not influence him in the least. Deputy District Attorney Fleming testified to the events leading up to the arrest of Miss Chase on the day he had her brought into his office. Miss Chase took the stand and re- lated the circumstances of her ac- quaintance with McComas in Mazat- lan, Mexico, ten years ago. She told why she had read portions of the let- ters to the two Jurors and said her reason for doing so was to explain her regular attendance at the trial of Mc- Comas. She denied that she tried to influence them, and declared that it was only to protect herself that she told of her friendly relations with Mr. and Mrs. McComas in the past. The defendant was represented by Attorney Hugh T. Oordon, who argued that the affidavit sworn to by Fleming and which was the cause of Mlsg Chase being brought into court to show cause for contempt was insufficient. At the beginning of the trial yesterday morn- ing Attorney Gordon argued on the remurrer, which the court overruled. Deputy District Attorney Fleming made a forceful argument at the com- pletion of which the court declared Miss Chase guilty as charged and fixed her fine at $100 or five days in Jail. Miss Chase paid the fine. WIELDS HUGE KNIFE GIVEN BY SPIRITS WOMAN VIOLENTLY RESISTS EVICTING OFFICERS Deputy Constable Helps Her Out of His Own Pocket and Then Dis- covers She Has Purse Full of Gold Brandishing a bread knife of gigan- tic proportions which. It Is said, she declares was given her by spirits, Mrs. Annie Meyers of 780 % Ea»t Clanton street, It is alleged, resisted the efforts of Deputy Constable Harry Wright to serve a writ of ejectment on her, and, according to the officer, but for his prompt action would have inflicted serious injuries upon his person. "Mrs. Meyers had been living in the house for almost a year," said Wright, "and had not paid any rent since she began occupying the place. She for- merly lived In another section of the city and because of her failure to pay rent her landlord offered to pay her moving expenses and secure her an- other house if she would leave. She accepted the proposition and moved to the Clanton street house, upon which three months 1 rent had been paid by the kindly disposed landlord. "Several attempts were made to col- lect rent after the three months had passed, but were unsuccessful. The owner of the house, finding he could not get rid of the woman, swore out a writ of ejectment. "I was given the papers to serve and went to the house. I knocked on the front door, but was unable to summon anyone, so went around to the rear of the house and was met by Mrs. Meyers, who made at me with a large knife. I took the ugly weapon away from her. She vigorously resisted and claimed she was obeying the orders of the spirits, who told her to remain on the premises and not to live with her husband, and who presented her with the article of cutlery. "I felt sorry for the woman, but had to do my duty, and after I had dis- possessed her by taking the furniture out into the street, asked Mrs. Meyers if she needed any money. She told me she did not have a cent and was now without a home. "I had only 50 cents, and. reserving 5 cents for car fare back to town, gave her the remainder. After she re- ceived the money ghe opened a purse and exhibited the contents, which con- sisted of about $35 in gold pieces." Wright says even after her furniture had been removed the woman refused to leave the place, declaring it to be against the commands of the spirits for her to leave the premises. Her husband is said to be a barber and works In this city, but because of Mrs Meyers' splrituail'.stic ideas does not live with her. WORKMEN MOVING HOUSE ARRESTED AS TRESPASSERS Charged with trespassing, C. H. Ba- sore, R. F. Tanhey and H. H.

Daggett, who declares the accused men at- tempted to move a house upon which he has a lease. The men, who are house movers, were hired by the owner of the house to move the structure. When they attempted to begin work on the building Wednes- day Daggett had them arrested as trespassers.

Bell and his sailing master, "Pirate" For- rest, with assaulting and resisting an officer was secured by Constable Frank Cocheran yesterday and is now in the hands of a San Diego officer in the hope that Bell will touch the southern port in his yacht, the Aloha, while on his way to Mexico. "If we don't catch him now we will later." said Cocheran yesterday. Bell and Forrest both have interests at San Diego, and if they do not stop at that port probably will return there later. Mrs. Bell Is now in San Diego awaiting her son. Bell is the man who recently charged Attorney O. P. Widaman and Arthur Sanger with attempting to kill him, and v/hen the case was decided against him and the men were dis- charged, went to San Pedro, knocked down the deputy constable who was in charge of his yacht, which had been attached for debt, threw the man over- boad and sailed away. ARRAIGNED ON CHARGE OF FORGING SPRECKELS' NAME Dr. F. C. S. Saunders, carged with forging the name of Rudolph Spreckels to a check for $1000, was arraigned be- fore Judge Wilbur in the superior court yesterday. When taken to court Saun- ders instructed his attorneys to dis- miss for the present the defense that he is insane. He tried to tell the court that he was not aware such a line of defense had been adopted, but Judge Wilbur refused to hear him. His trial on the forgery charge was set for July 8. He entered a plea of not guilty yesterday. WOMAN FROM WATTS IS HELD FOR TRIAL BY JUSTICE Accused by A. S.

ADVISES PAVING BRIDGE APPROACH City Engineer Reports Adversely to Wood Blocks, and Recommends Constructing a Concrete Abut. ment with Brick Floor City Engineer Homer Hamlln has made a report on the paving of ap- proaches to the First street bridge. He is of the opinion that it will not be economical in the end to repair with wood blocks of the character now in service on the present floor. This pavement has required a great deal of patching. The blocks were not given a preservative treatment of any value and were not laid in accordance with the best practice. The present plank floor has rotted in places, and because of its varying thickness does not afford a uniform bearing for the blocks. To secure good . results from any kind of block paving this planking should be removed and replaced with 4-inch planking surfaced on one side to a uniform thickness and given a preservative coating. The timber portion of the west ap- proach was made too long when the bridge was constructed. At an addi- tional cost of $1000 It can be short- ened eighty feat by constructing a concrete abutment and side wall, fill- ing In with earth and paving the filled portion with bricks on a concrete base. This will eliminate any future expense for flooring on this portion and reduce the cost of maintaining the pavement.

To the left of the main entrance andconnecting with the lobby is the li-brary room. It is furnished by theEliza A. Otis Memorial association.
On the wall to the left of the en-trance is a tablet of copper. It bearsthis inscription:
"This library room was built to hon-or the memory of Eliza A. Otis (Mrs.Harrison Gray Otis). The builders,her memorial association, thereby pay-ing unique and lasting tribute to herspotless name as woman, wife, mother,friend and life-long devotee of letters;who loved her country and race; whofor a quarter of a century was a tire-less literary worker, Impressing her-self through her pen upon tlie thoughtof California; and who counted booksas among her most cherished com-panions.
"Born 1833; died November 12, 1804,after more than two decades of usefuland brilliant staff service with the LosAngeles Times. This enduring tabletwas reverently conceived and devisedby her nusband; and in June, 1908, wasplaced in position by the architect andbuilders, the Eliza A. Otis Memorialassociation acting in conjunction withthe Young AVomen's Christian asso-ciation."

TRACE ODORS TO MISUSEOF HILL STREET DRAIN
On investigation by City EngineerHomer Hamlin's men it has been foundthat the obnoxious odors which arisefrom the catch basin at Fourth andHill streets are undoubtedly due tothe fact that sewage is being dis-charged into the storm drain betweenThird and Fourth streets.
This drain is a 22-inch pipe, andthe point where the house connectionis supposed to be made can be ascer-tained by the street department.
In case houso connection is encoun-tered Engineer Hamlin recommendsthat rigid investigation should be madeand the guilty parties punished, espe-cially as there is and has been formany years a sanitary sewer of amplesize on the street.
After the house connection to thesanitary sewer is properly made 'thestorm sewer will be thoroughly flushedout from the fire hydrants.
NEWS OF THE COURTSWOMAN FINED FOR
TALKING TO JUROR
BERTHA CHASE PUNISHED FORCONTEMPT
Ordered to Pay One Hundred Dollar*or Go to Jail for Five Days,
She Choose* the
Former
Found guilty of contempt of court byJudge James In the superior court yes-terday Misa Bertha Chase of SantaMonica was fined $100 or the alterna-tive of five days in the county Jail.
The specific charge against MissChase was that she tried to influenceJuror Charles L. Palmer, who was
serving on the Jury in the McComasmurder trial a short time ago, by
reading to him extracts from lettersshe had received from McComas ten
Palmer testified that Miss Chase,
who lives across the street from himIn Santa Monica, came to his home oneevening and read to him almost theentire contents of a four or five-page
letter, and after finishing told him theletter was received by her from Mc-Comas. He declared she had not toldhim who the letter was from untilafter she had read it. He claimed MissChase told him Mrs. McComas waseither dead or divorced and that bothwere nice people when she knew themin Mexico ten years ago.
The second time he met the defend-ant was Thursday, May 28. He was
walking along Broadway near the cityhall when Miss Chase, who was on theopposite side of the street, came overto where he was and said: "Will youescort me home tonight?" The wit-ness said he told her she had bettertake a car and go home, but she replied
that she was going to see the end ofthe trial. This, he stated, was be-tween 6:30 and 7 o'clock in the even-ing. After the evening session of courtadjourned at about 8:45 o'clock, he de-clared, he met Miss Chase at First andBroadway, and when he approachedher Miss Prizgint, who had attendedthe sessions of court with Miss Chase,
left. He and Miss Chase boarded the9:05 o'clock car and sat in the sameseat.
When questioned as to the conversa-tion while on the car Palmer said MissChase told him Mrs. McComas wasalive nnd in San Francisco. He saidhe noticed the young woman carriedsome letters in her hand and he re-marked to her: "Are you still carrying
those letters?" and told her she hadbetter tie them up or she might losethem Then she took her handkerchiefand tied it around them. When askedif she read extracts from the letterswhile on the car that evening he saidhe was not sure, that he was tired atthat time and did not pay much atten-tion to what she said.
On cross-examination he testifiedthat the letters from which she readextracts to him were dated in 1898.He declared the woman's conversationwith him did not influence him in theleast.
Deputy District Attorney Flemingtestified to the events leading up to
the arrest of Miss Chase on the dayhe had her brought into his office.
Miss Chase took the stand and re-lated the circumstances of her ac-quaintance with McComas in Mazat-lan, Mexico, ten years ago. She toldwhy she had read portions of the let-ters to the two Jurors and said herreason for doing so was to explain herregular attendance at the trial of Mc-Comas. She denied that she tried toinfluence them, and declared that itwas only to protect herself that shetold of her friendly relations with Mr.and Mrs. McComas in the past.
The defendant was represented byAttorney Hugh T. Oordon, who arguedthat the affidavit sworn to by Flemingand which was the cause of Mlsg Chasebeing brought into court to show causefor contempt was insufficient. At thebeginning of the trial yesterday morn-ing Attorney Gordon argued on theremurrer, which the court overruled.
Deputy District Attorney Flemingmade a forceful argument at the com-pletion of which the court declaredMiss Chase guilty as charged and fixedher fine at $100 or five days in Jail.Miss Chase paid the fine.
WIELDS HUGE KNIFEGIVEN BY SPIRITS
WOMAN VIOLENTLY RESISTSEVICTING OFFICERS
Deputy Constable Helps Her Out of
His Own Pocket and Then Dis-
covers She Has Purse
Full of Gold
Brandishing a bread knife of gigan-tic proportions which. It Is said, shedeclares was given her by spirits, Mrs.Annie Meyers of 780 % Ea»t Clantonstreet, It is alleged, resisted the effortsof Deputy Constable Harry Wright toserve a writ of ejectment on her, and,according to the officer, but for hisprompt action would have inflictedserious injuries upon his person.
"Mrs. Meyers had been living in thehouse for almost a year," said Wright,"and had not paid any rent since shebegan occupying the place. She for-merly lived In another section of thecity and because of her failure to payrent her landlord offered to pay hermoving expenses and secure her an-other house if she would leave. Sheaccepted the proposition and moved tothe Clanton street house, upon whichthree months 1 rent had been paid bythe kindly disposed landlord.
"Several attempts were made to col-lect rent after the three months hadpassed, but were unsuccessful. Theowner of the house, finding he couldnot get rid of the woman, swore outa writ of ejectment.
"I was given the papers to serve andwent to the house. I knocked on thefront door, but was unable to summonanyone, so went around to the rearof the house and was met by Mrs.Meyers, who made at me with a largeknife. I took the ugly weapon awayfrom her. She vigorously resisted andclaimed she was obeying the orders ofthe spirits, who told her to remain onthe premises and not to live with herhusband, and who presented her withthe article of cutlery.
"I felt sorry for the woman, but hadto do my duty, and after I had dis-possessed her by taking the furnitureout into the street, asked Mrs. Meyers
if she needed any money. She toldme she did not have a cent and wasnow without a home.
"I had only 50 cents, and. reserving5 cents for car fare back to town,gave her the remainder. After she re-ceived the money ghe opened a purseand exhibited the contents, which con-sisted of about $35 in gold pieces."
Wright says even after her furniturehad been removed the woman refusedto leave the place, declaring it to beagainst the commands of the spiritsfor her to leave the premises.
Her husband is said to be a barberand works In this city, but because ofMrs Meyers' splrituail'.stic ideas doesnot live with her.

He is of the opinion that it will notbe economical in the end to repair withwood blocks of the character now inservice on the present floor. Thispavement has required a great deal ofpatching. The blocks were not givena preservative treatment of anyvalue and were not laid in accordancewith the best practice.
The present plank floor has rotted inplaces, and because of its varyingthickness does not afford a uniformbearing for the blocks.
To secure good . results from anykind of block paving this plankingshould be removed and replaced with4-inch planking surfaced on one sideto a uniform thickness and given apreservative coating.
The timber portion of the west ap-
proach was made too long when thebridge was constructed. At an addi-tional cost of $1000 It can be short-ened eighty feat by constructing a
concrete abutment and side wall, fill-ing In with earth and paving the filledportion with bricks on a concrete base.This will eliminate any future expensefor flooring on this portion and reducethe cost of maintaining the pavement.
