Chief GLASS Submits Q List Of Saloons Ac-
cused of Violating the Sunday
Closing Ordinance

The counsel for Theodore Timm. the
San Fernando saloon keeper. accused OF
having two weeks ago violated the saloon
ordinance. wanted another continuance
before the case was heard by the police
commissioners Yesterday, but the board
would not listen to the gentle hint.
Police Officer Long. who arrested Timm,
made statement of the alleged viola
ton OF the law. Mrs. Tim.n was behind
the bar of the saloon and the place was
filled with people being served with
liquor. Long made second visit to the
saloon in company with Officer Len
hauser and saw the previous scene re-
enacted. Long had several drinks and
then placed Timm under arrest. The
officer captured one glass OF beer and
carted it off to police headquarters to be
used as evidence in the coming court
proceedings in the matter. Mrs. Timm
offsred him $50 to square the case. Off
Ger Lenhauser zorro borated Long.
Timm's story was that he had only given
drinks on the Sunday mentioned to the
boarders in his house. The attorney for
the accused plead for sympathy for his
client, referring to him as a simple
minded Dutchman. Timm's license was
revoked.
The application of F. F. Miller for a
saloon at the corner OF First and Vine
streets WAS nung up. The report Of the
chief in the premises was to the effect
that tho new owner OF the place intended
to turn the saloon over to ola proprietors
whose license mad been revoked because
of violation OF the Sunday closing ordi-
nance. The same action was taken in re-
gard to the application for transfer of a
license for the saloon at 221 West Fourth
street, the latter because there is some
dispute regarding the ownership Of the
place.
The application of Brown & Sivickert
for a rehearing of their claim in re the
revocation OF the saloon license at III
East First street was heard.
The applicants claimed that they in
tended to apply for a license at lib East
First, but made mistake. There was
a protest against the saloon at the
former. and the license having been
granted to be in effect thsre, had to be re-
voked. There is objection against the
proposed saloon because there are already
four saloons II the same block. The
sense of the board was that new appli-
cation for q license should be made. The
new application was Immediately made
and formally filed. The application was
then denled.
The application for license at 305 Los
Angeles street was filed, as was the ap-
plication for the license at 200 East First
street and the application for a license at
265 New High street,
The application of Hickson & Stack for
the transfer of the license at III East
First street was granted. The application
of Frank Hoffman at 255 Wolfskill ave-
nue. was denied.
Rev. Will Knighten presented a numer-
ously singed petition opposing the grant
ing of license for the saloon on the COR
ner OF Alameda and First streets. The
matter was continued for one week.
The license of J. W. Griffin at 100 West
Second street was revoked for the nom
payment of the license money.
The application of Fred Smith TO be ap-
pointed a special officer to patrol China
town and the tenderloin district was re-
ferred to the chief. Smiths salary will
be paid by Theodore Bauer and the Chi
nese Six companies.
A list of eight saloons was reported by
Chief Glass as having last Sunday ylo-
lated the closing ordinance. Owing to
the charge that in the case of some of the
places accused the police officers who Sc
cured the evidence are not thought to
have been actuated by altogether proper
motives. action upon the matter was
postponed for one week.
