PECULIAR ORDINANCE
A Social Evil Law Which Has Never Been
Repealed

1t is interesting to note in view OF the
present agitation in the matter of the
Alameda street crib nuisance that
at one time in the history of the city
houses of ill-fame were really sanctioned
by law, their existence being prohibited
only in residence districts. The then
city council, on May "a, 1874, passed an
ordinance to prohibit the location OF such
houses in territory described as follows:
Commencing at the junction of the south
line of First street and the west line OF
Fort street (Broadway); thence along the
west line of Fort street (Broadway)
northerly to the north line of Short Gre
public) street, ,.thence north to Los Ange-
les street. and east to the south line OF
First street. All Of che rest of the city is
exempted from the provisions of this very
peculiar law. which was approved by j..
r. Toberman as mayor on May 20, 1874.
The ord nance, although it has never
been repealed, is of course a dead letter,
being in direct conflict with the state law.
The penalty for the violation of the law
was fine OF not to exceed 500, or an I'M
prisonment in the county Jail of not to
exceed sixty DAYS or both.

MRS. SHAW WAS POISONED
Killed by an Overdose OF the Drug
CoIchicum
Coroner's Jury Charges nadame Soutenici
With Tier Death-The Accused
Threatens Suicide

The sudden death OF Mrs. Shaw, which
occurred on Thursday night, at her home
No. 40S South Walnut street, as a result
of an overdose of colchcum, was investi-
gated by the coroner's jury yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs Shaw was taken i'll q few days ago.
and instead OF employing a regular ply
sician she put herself under the care of
Madame Soutener, woman who has an
Office at $685. South Spring street, where
she conducts an irregular practice. Mad
anne Soutenier gave the patient medicine.
and shortly after the latter grew rapidly
worse, and soon died.
An autopsy was held yesterday after
noon, when it was ascertained that the
deceased woman came to her death us a
resulG of an overdose of colchicum, ad-
ministered by Madame Soutenier.
Great Indignation is felt among the
friends of Mrs. Shaw in East Los An
geles. Mr.. Shaw. her son, is editor OF
the East Side News. The husband of the
deceased is 4 carpenter in the employ of
the Southern Pacific company.
Nine. Soutenier testified to having pre-
scribed colchicum for Mrs. Shaw, but
states that the patient took larger dose
than that prescribed.
In accordance with the verdict of the
jury. Coroner Campbell reported the case
at police headquarters, charging Nine.
Soutenier with the death of Mrs. Shaw.
No warrant was issued for her arrest but
as the woman had threatened to commit
suicide, she was locked up in the receiv-
ing hospital for the night. Friends of
the deceased woman will probably swear
ont a warrant for the arrest of Nine.

The mail service OF Wells. Fargo & Com
panv has been discontinued. VIM. Prid-
ham, the local suy-intendent, states that
the company has, ontemplated doing so
for some time past, but at the earnest
solicitations of some of their old Gus
toners it had not fully decided to do so
until recently. At one time the company
had almost all the mail service of the
western coast, handling over Il. 900 letters
daily, and was very popular with busi-
ness men, as they found that letter
sent by express was delivered at least two
or three hours earlier than by mail. Mr..
Pridham states the company has made
no money out of this branch of its bus-
ness for more than year past, and that
the falling off in this branch of their
business is due to the fact that the gov
ernment has practically adopted the ex-
press company's system of handling
mail.

As = Landscape Gardener Eric YFas Not
Considered Success


This executive council has requested
Eric Nystrom, landscape gardener and
superintendent of the state house
grounds, to resign. Nystron is the
man who permitted a house mover to
cut down Governor CarRey's tree;
who permits lumber wagons, deliv-

grounds; who permits certain favorites
to make a stable yard of the space be-

who permits women TO tie horses to the
trees near the city library building; who
spikes boards to the trees; who. in short,
looks on while all manner of depreda-
tions is committed in the grounds. For
these shortcomings he has been re.
quested to resign.
Nystrom is a shoemaker by trade, and
has been successful, but he knows moth
ing whatever of landscape gardening.

pride in the state house square is that
