Proof which Zig Advertiser Require

attention. The cost Of advertising with
them is not limited 10 the mere pay
ment of the newspapers, painters, bill
posters and others who undertake to
display their announcements, but there
are a number of necessary expenses in
cidental TO these which are by no
means small items in the total ex-
penditure.
MANY employ men to originate
striking forms of advertisements, and
the demand for men Of special genius
in that direction is so great that very
large salaries are offered them. Some
of these firms, especially those who deal
in patent medicines, employ a man
whose sole duty it is To see that the
contracts for displaying before the pub
lie their advertisements are carried out
as agreed. This man has to do a great
deal of travelling.
zone of the forms of advertising,
which is extensively INDUCED in by
these firms. is the painting Of signs on
the fences and rocks along the lines of
the railroads which enter this town. In
making a contract with a bill poster,
who usually does this work. the firm
specifies the style and size of the signs
it wants and the places in which il
wants them displayed. The bill poster
then sends out his men presumably 10
fulfill the terms of the contract, but
these men travel over hundreds OF
miles Of territory, and the question
arises. How can the firm be certain that
its provisions have been properly car
ried QUIT IL j. impossible for the mem
bers Of the firm To spend time in going

a result, they have 70 employ a man
who can do il for them. This man can
do little else.
If the firm would rest content with
his assurances his labor would be com
paratively light, but one of the first
principles of a big mercantile firm seems
10 be that. 80 far as possible, the asser-
tons Of an employee should be sup
ported by material proof. 1t would, of
course, be possible for the man who
undertakes this work 20 defraud the
firm by conspiring with the bill poster,
and, to prevent this possible collision,
a novel form of proof that the work
has been properly done has been de-
vised. The firms agent follows in
the footsteps of the bill posters work

He is provided with a camera and he
photographs every one Of the firm
signs. As each photograph takes in
not only the sign but the surrounding
scenery. the firm is of course convinced

they are in the places designated by il.

terms Of the contract have expired.

ties With the Persons of Little Girls.
One of His Former MASKING Escapades.

A. X. Morros was arrested last night
by Detectives Auble and Bowler on a
very serious charge. Morros is we'll
known in this city and has several times
gained unenviable netoriety. A COM
plaint will be filed against him this
morning for taking liberties with two
girls named Barclay, of tender age, who
live on South Main street the other side
of Washington Gardens. The oldest one
of the girls is only 13. At the police
station last night the girls positively
identified Morros as the man who was
guilty of the crime.
Morros denies the accusation, but he
was kept in Jail over night. Country
men OF Morros say he is not altogether
right in his mind. The police complain
that Morros essays to be masher.
There was considerable complaint about
his behavior at the late citrus fair. He
was accused of humping against LADIES'
in the expectation of making mash.
Morros is little bit Of fellow and has
nothing to recommend him in the way
of good looks. r&

was caught peeping over the transom OF
the room occupied by the girl. He an
noyed her in terrible fashion, and
would stand on Spring street, directly
opposite the girls room, and watch for
her for hours at time. Morros took up
his stand there every day, and has been
known to stay there for three hours at
one stretch.

very similar to the original, but differ
ence cen be noticed upon putting the
two together. Every can is stamped
and the stamp should be broken upon
opening it.
The law provides that the opium must
be retailed out of the can. The China
men from whom the seizure was made
yesterday have been in the habit of fill
ing up the jars with yeng see, which is
the refuse of the opium. The Chinese
cook this up and save several dollars on
every jar. Mr.. Maxwell met with sew
eral peculiar experiences in his raid on
Chinatown. At one place the crowd got
wind that the internal revenue officer
was coming. and in their haste to slip
away, spilled bucket of the valuable
drug. This is the second seizure made
in the past month, and it is safe to say
that the manufacture of yeng see will
be carried on with more secrecy in the
future. The consumption of this drug
is something enormous, and nearly
every store in Chinatown sells the drug.

The initial shoot of the Los Angeles
Wing club takes place this afternoon at
the grounds, corner of Alameda and Sew
enth streets. This is the brand new or
ganization which proposes to make
things hum in shooting way. The
gun men in this section have just awak-
ened from long slumber.
The matches this afternoon will be
blue rocks. The best shots in Southern
California will participate in the matches
and some good scores will doubtless be
made, considering that the knights OF
the trigger are little rusty from lack
of practice.
A meeting of delegates of sportsmen's Is
clubs will be held this evening at the
Hollenbeck hotel to organize Southern
California Sportsman's association.
Sportsmen from all over Southern Cali
fornia will be present, and the new or
ganization will be representative one
and will result in great good, especially
in seeing that the game laws are more
strictly enforced.
The entries for the races at the San
Diego fair are just to hand. AS num-

TIE CROSS FRANCHISE.
THE CAPTAIN WANTS A PRESENT
OF TIE MACY STREET BRIDGE.
The Council Meeting Yesterday-Captain
Cross Wants Great Deal-The Dog
Law Amended.

II now looks as though the Cross
electric franchise will not get through
the council as readily as its promoters
have anticipated. The city fathers to 9
man are in favor Of giving the right Of
way asked, provided Captain Cross will
agree to construct bridge for his tracks.
This is where the shoe pinches. Cap
tain Cross thinks he should be
given right-of-way across the
old covered bridge at Macy street,
while the councilmen contend that the
roadway over that bridge is no wider
now than travel demands. They are
willing to aid the proposed enterprise in
every possible way, and offered at yes
terday's meeting to allow the company
to build an addition to the structure,
but Captain Cross said he would not do
this, and if the council insisted upon it
he would withdraw the petition for a
franchise, and there the matter stands.
More will probably be heard OF it at
Mondays session of the council.
The petition of the Southern Califor-
MIA Kennel club was taken up and q
number of amendments made to the dog
ordinance. By the new ordinance. which
the city attorney will report to the coun-
Gil Monday, the tax on all dogs is placed
at So, and section was inserted provid-
ing that in the event of pound-keeper
or his assistants taking dog from his
owners premises he shall be liable to
arrest for misdemeaner, and upon con-
viction may be fined not more than $3.50
or imprisoned not more than 150 days.
