MADAME RUMPP WITHDREW
No Vote on the Sycamore Grove
Saloon License
THE POLICE BOARDS SESSION
Jean Reppert Wants TO Open the
Horseshoe
One License Is Revoked and Musical Resort &
Are to Be Squelched-Frank Hoffman
Set Down Upon

The individual members of the board of
police commissioners did not have an OPP
portunity to all of them go upon record
yesterday in the matter of the application
OF Madame Wilhelmina Rumpp for
saloon license for the more or less favor
ably known Sycamore Grove. John l..
Mitchell represented the Madame before
the board and Commissioner Cook had
formally moved that the license be not
granted. Attorney Mitchell, with an eye
to the main chance, withdrew the applica-
ton of his client, and the battle was at an
end.
Commissioner Guy B. Barham occupied
the chair throughout the meeting, every
member being present excepting the
mayor or his understudy. Colonel iced.
Jean Reppert, who has for years divided
with Theodore Bauer the peculiar honor Of
ruling over the crib district on Alameda
street, made an application for license
for what will 60 down in local history as
the somewhat notorious Horseshoe. -
The application was, amid somewhat
audible smile, referred to Chief Glass
for investigation. Harry Monahan,
k known aSps' THE '0n BASKET the ocas
on Ferguson alley, was set down upon in
his professional ambition very hard Jean
Reppert has been the old owner of the re-
sort, and the police records were adverse
to Monahan, who is we'll known member
of the local sporting fraternity, who has
had the misfortune to have been in the
police court upon one occasion as the angel
interested in a crap game. Commissioner
Wirsching made the motion which quieted
Monahan's solon aspirations. and it went
through without voice seeking to steer
wrong the hand of cruel fate.
Detective Auble, on December LIST, found
liquor being sold at 222 Commercial street,
and as a result, Samuel Bormoff, the owner
Of the place at that address, had his license
yesterday revoked.
S. w. Luitweiler e. Co. reported to the
board that last Sunday night Officer Mas
tuszkiwitz, while pursuing fleeing prison
er, fell through large plate glass window
of their store on Los Angeles street, de-
molishing the same, which to repair will
cost $74. The matter was referred to the
chief.
A protest against the iudiscriminate play
ing and humping of instruments in the
saloon at II Commercial street was re-
ferred to the chief. The latter expressed
himself as being opposed to music in any
drinking resort.
There is at present an ordinance prohib-
iting all such nusisances in any place ex-
cepting the Palace and the Vienna buffet,
which it is probable will at once be en-
forced.
Frank Hoffman made another applica-
ton for a saloon license at 255 Wolfskill
avenue, and the same was denied with q
request, which will probably not be for
warded, that Hoffman cease his unwelcome
attentions to the board.
The board yesterday Endorsed favorably
the contemplated lease of the premises of
Judge j. w. Hendrick on Boyle Heights for
an additional city prison for four months
at $15 month, the rent to be paid in adj
vance. The matter is to be acted upon by
the council today.
The request of the California Stale Pro-
tective association that municipal legisla-
ton be enacted to compel druggists who
sell spirituous or malt liquors to pay the
regulation wholesale liquor license, was
approved of, and the necessary ordinances
were ordered to be adopted by the govern
ing body of the city.
The following applications for saloon
licenses were granted: S. G. Aladino, at
$50 Upper Main street; Charles Holm, at
23O East Fifth street: Arbuckle & Wat
son, at 141.143 East Los Angeles street;
Bornatico & Pagliano, at 43O North Main
street.
Applications as follows were referred TO

appointed upon the police force was filed,
and the application of City Clerk Charles
Luckenbach that p. M. Hickman be ap-
pointed special officer for duty at the
city hal! at night without pay was referred
to the chief.
Before consenting to the lease of the
Hendricks property for additional prison
quarters, Commissioner Wirsching insisted
that all of the offenders there incarcerated
must, when discharged, be brought down
to the central station before they are
turned loose, as he did not care to have
Boyle Heights overrun with an undesirable
element, .' 4'4
