Selling.

morning, with the mayor presiding, and
opened the proceedings by placing $40
reward paid officer ]. w. Robbins in the
police fund.
Clerk Cottle of the police department
submitted the following spicy report on
license transfer:
In the matter of the application OF
Jules Bourgogne and Henry Donnadieu,
under the firm name OF Donnadieu &
Bourgogne, for transfer of the license
for the saloon at No. 226 Also street,
from the firm of Moreno C Bourgogne,
l now respectfully report as follows:
The said Jules Bourgogne b as been
one OF the proprietors OF the saloon in
question for number of years. and az
he 10 to remain in the new firm as one
of the partners and bartenders, think
there will be little change in the man
ner of conducting the place. The house
is frequented by French and Italian la
borers, and also by some of the frequent.
ers and supporters of and some OF those
supported by the Alameda street cribs
and houses or prostitution. The saloon
is far from being frst-class place. but
it Is not particularly disorderly, and not
worse than some others in that section
OF the city.
The new partner, Henry Donnadieu,
is said by some to be a man of very bad
character. but to the best OF my knowl-
edge he has never been convicted of any
crime. He is said to have lived about
the cribs" for years, and to have had
women earning money for him as pros
titutes. This he denies, however, but
admits that he keeps "private
woman on New High street. 1 believe
the man to be not worse than some
others who have saloon licenses on Ala
media street, Ferguson alley, ETC., and
that he will probably keep as "resp ect-
able' saloon as any of them. This
much l must say to be fair to the fellow
and to not single him out from q band
the members of which are much alike
morally, or, more strictly speaking, in
their lack of morals, and who would, it
is my personal belief, be more justly
dealt with il they were all refused saloon
licenses and were sent to prison for life
or hanged.
Very respectfully yours,
CHARLES R. MoFFATT.
A communication from j. p. Goytino
protesting against the transfer OF the
above license and asking that the license
be revoked, was read as follows:
/ take the liberty to ask you to re-
woke the saloon license OF H. Donna
dieu and Bourgogne at No. 226 Also
street.
The proprietors of that saloon belong
to that disgusting class of human be-
ings designated by our police under the
euphonious name of "macs."
H. Donnadieu, who seems to be the
head OF the association, is a man who
appeared before the county grand jury
in 1892 of which Hon. George L. Arnold
was a.member under the grave accusa-
ton of encouraging his wife to lead
life of shame in the "Maison de Joie"
of Alameda street. To prevent such an
indictment by the grand jury he di-
vorced his wife, but continued to live
with her. Not satisfied with the earn
ings of his ex-wife, that man made re-
Gently trip to France and brought back
with him the sister of his former wife.
1t is to cay that the two sisters are now
doing prostitution" in Alameda street
and helping Donnadieu to pay the ex-
penses OF his establishment on Also
street.
The other partner, Jules Burgogne,
belongs to the same category as Donna.
dieu, with the difference that he was re-
Gently initiated in the mysteries of the
mac" fraternity. Furthermore, the
saloon run by these creatures is open
every Sunday, in spite of the Sunday
closing ordinance. For your informa.

Mrs. Montblsnc, who keeps lodging

in the following words: The saloon

j. P. GoYTINo.
The transfer was denied and next
Monday at 10 o'clock set for hearing
on the charge of selling liquor on Sum

The resignation of Officer L. D. Rich
was presented and accepted, and the fol-
lowing license applications were referred

Fourth street; Henry Roos, 1913 Pasa-
dena avenue; Fleming & Scott, 712 West

A petition signed by 1900 citizens
asking that the cigar dealers be allowed
by the authorities to run eliot machines
which are used exclusively for cigars.
On motion of Mr.. Arnold the matter
was referred to the chief of police and
the city attorney.
Chief Glass reported that on the night
OF the 18th two prisoners escaped from
the city prison during q temporary alb
sence of the jailer, and that this was an.
other illustration of the insecurity of the
jail. He thought that the chain gang
should be under the direct control Of the
police department. in order that the
gang could be prevented from commune
eating with outsiders. They often
brought in saws and other tools to pris.
oners from the outside.
