BLACK HOLE OF LOS ANGELES

But the chef d 'oeuvre of the whole is yet
to come, and that is the woman's cell
only one. and measuring 8 by IA feet.
Think Of it! Eight by fourteen feet for
every woman that is ever arrested in Los
Angeles! There are four single cots in
this apartment and another couldn't be
squeezed in to save life. There are also
four chairs, and when the beds are used
tho chairs have to be piled on top OF one
another in order to give air to breathe ;
whereas, when the chairs are used the
cots have to be piled on top of one an
other. This cell is the first on the left of
the side corridor above spoken of. The
door is not solid, but of bars; there is
not vestige of daylight in the place. and
but two ventilators high up on the walls.
about four inches square. and which 40
lead ultimately to the roof. A single gas
jet must and does burn night and day,
the uncovered closet and lavatory are in
one corner of the cell, and just at the
head of one of the cots.
The occupants are com sopoli tan, al
though they number but four--which is
very convenient, as ca CHI may have her
bed 70 herself. Two colored women,
an Indian and white woman are the
present guests. each one is in for mis-
demeanor. and they are there for from go
to $50 days.
They can't bathe during hat period be-
cause there are no bathing appliances for
women, and even though they come
from stratum of society that may not
hunger for its tub-yet for the sake of
hygiene it wouldn't be bad idea:to have
the equipment. These women. haven
room in their cell to take three steps, yet
they cannot put foot outside that grated
door because there Is no place for them
TO go. Across the narrow corridor there
are men; in the next cells there are men.
There i. absolutely nothing for those fe-
male prisoners to do but sit, and lie. and
eat and wait-for their sentence to ex-
pre, for their time to be up-unless they
become i'll. and then thew can 60 to the
hospital. But that is another story-and
it will be told. Meanwhile the only thing
for a woman to do, if she must break the
law. is to break it so hard that she can be
sent to the county Jail. for the women in
the county Jail. and the men, too, are in
the lap of luxury in mparson.
All the sermons and all the moral
suasion in the whole wide world wouldn t
have the same restraining influence on
either man or woman from committing a
depreciation, as a glimpse, no matter
how fleeting, of the inner consciou sness
of the Los Angeles city prison.

Quite number of anxious sharehold-

The company has been expending great
deal of money during the past year in
g. menting bitches. and this section can
now boast of as fine water system as
any other section of the state.

reducing their fares to equal the electric
low rates, including street car fare from
their depots. AS a step in this direction
the Santa Fe is arranging to straighten
out the triple curves just in the center
OF our town so as to shorten distance, re-
duce time and expense and delay. The
survey ors have located the new line to
start from the old track in the south end
of Mr.. Fell's lot thence through the rear
of Mrs. Golfers lot, and Cross Center
through Mr.. Daughertys lot between his
stable and store building. and straight on
to the Mission street crossing. This is a
much nedeed improvement to this road
whether it means lower fares to the city
or not.
The Terminal. especially, will have to
reduce its fares or stop running. for it's
passengers now will not pay half the
expense of running.

SOUTH PASADENA
Railroad Trials and Tribulations Of South
Pasadena

SOUTH PASADENA. May 1s.-Not-
withstanding our three railroads. all lead
ing directly to Los Angeles. we ar, not
all happy as yet. The principal reason
is that our big neighbor to the north
monopolizes all the seats in going to the
city. and not only we but our wives have
to stand up a II the way. 1t is true that
we have good company. from our neigh
bors to the south and west. Garvanza,
Highland Park and the rest. but that
does not make it any easier for us. An
other cause Of complaint is that although
the cars have been running for two week s
we have seen nothing of the coupon. or
monthly tickets as yet. We learn that
they have been issued to Pasadena pas
sengers, fiom an office there. but we can
find none in Los Angeles. And if they
issue the same kind OF tickets to us as we
learn they are going to do there will
soon be another trouble. Theirs are
limited to the month for which they are
issued while the franchise from rs re-
quircs that the tickets may be useablc for
six months. Some will undoubtedly use
the monthly instalimcnt within month,
but many others will not.

But fortunately there are number of
skylights in this multum IN parvo of a

all of the juvenile offenders are conned
roaming at will with the vagrants and
the adult riff-raff. And now, having al

OF the single chambers, the cells-the
placets where law-breakers shall be in
carcerated until they have expiated their
several sins according to the law. There
are about eight Of them, on the main cor
ridor and side corridor making off at
right angles-eight, and all but one were
full yesterday. OF course the offenses are
various and the time to be served varies
with them. But imagine spending a
single night in cavity about ten feet
long, four feet wide and perhaps eight
feet high, and that is liberal estimate of
the size, with absolutely not one ray of
light in it. except what goes in from a
syk-lighted hall-when the door is open,
and the door isn't open you know ex-
cept while the prisoner is being in

open IN this caravansary, and such doors

chink or break except in the middle of
the panels, a hinged section that can be
opened in case it is a hot day, and about
a dozen perforations around 1t about the
size that an ordinary augur would max e.
Such are the eight guest chambers, with
or without cots, according to the wish
of the occupant. The most lurid descrip-
ton of the black holes OF history
couldn't beat the realization of what is
to be seen any day in the week at the
central police station, by anyone who
will take the trouble to go and look.
OF course these cells are not Shiny and
wet, but they are powerfully black, with
the exception of three next the woman's
cell. They have steel slot or bar doors
and are trifie better. The whole place
is feexing with :the odor OF carbolc
acid and other dislniectants, because
the ventilation is so inadequate and the
sanitary equipment so atrocious.
