The Police Commission ReconaIders a
Former Action.
The police commission held an al
journed session yesterday morning and
heard the petition of Charles F. Kuhl
to be granted saloon license at lis
South Main street. The petition was
granted and the license given.
Two weeks ago, at the regular meet
ing of the commission, the application
of Kuhl for license was denied. The
Senate saloon was formerly located at
116 South Main and the impression was
created among the commissioners that
Kuhl was simply attempting to perpetu-
ate that place.
The Senate was closed up by the COM
mission when it was found that the
place was q rendezvous for absolute
characters of both sexes. This was only
few weeks ago and the application OF
Mr.. Kuhl coming on the heels OF the
scandal which was created by the ques-
tionable character of the Senate preju-
diced the commission against the appli-
cation.
The place where the new saloon will
be is in the front of the building in a
room formerly occupied by fruit stand.

What Was Found Ia the Woodwork of
thu Express Car.
Yesterday the Southern Pacific yard
was visited by large number of curious
people who wanted TO have look at the
express ear 30 badly wrecked by the Will
cox train robbers.
The car presented sorrisr appearance
by daylight than it did at night. The
force of the dynamite used by the rob-
bers was something terrific. The aolidly
built car was shattered and torn and
twisted in every part.
A further examination of the car bv
the express compsny's employees
brought TO lighs q singular thing. The
sides OF an express car are built very
much like those of house, being
boarded inside and ous of the frame
work. leaving cavities.
1t was found that the explosions OF
dynamite had driven "dobe" dollars
through the sides and many OF them
had slipped down to the sill inside the
woodwork. About 40 of these Mexican
dollars were brought to light, some of
them considerably battered and twisted.
The express officials are still reticent
about the amount OF money secured by
the bandits, but it is still believed that
they got away with a large amount of
gold coin and currency, anywhere from
SIS, 900 to $4,000.

Mayor RAIDER and Park Superintendent
a few Of the pomologists now in the city
with drive around the city, visiting en-
route several of the parks.
Aside from desire to entertain the
Walters, the mayor and park superin-
tendent had another object in view.
They desired to get some news in regard
to park improvement and adornment
from the learned gentlemen whom they
entertained. This object, they claim,
was accomplished in very satisfactory
way.
The visiting pomologists were able to
offer come suggesting in relation to tree
planting and arrangem ent, landscape
gardening, plant culture and kindred
subjects, which will be valuable to tine
city in time to come.
At Elysisn park the party made q
long stay and the pomologists proposed
some plans for the WORK OF laying out
certain parts OF the great park which
are considered by tho mayor and park
superin tendens as admirable hints for
future use.
By curious circumstance it was dis
covered during the trip that one OF the
party, Prot. TAFT, of Lansing, Michigan,
was formerly teacher OF Superintsn-
dent Meserve in the college there in the
department. in which they are both now
highly educated. The meeting thus,
after years OF separation. was a pleasing
one to both.

REFORM HIS WATCHWORD.

City Engineer Compton Finds q Chance
to Save the City Some Money.
The present city engineer goes in for
reform. Every little while he sees
something about the routine work of his
department when he can better.
In his report to the council on Mon
day he will recommend that the present
rule in regard to property owners doing
street work by private contract be
changed. As it is established now when
property owners desire to improve a
street they are required to deposit the
cost of surveying the street and placing
the grade stakes from curb to curb and
if it is desired at the same time to put
in curbs and lay sidewalks the engineer
must make the survey for this, estab-
lish the grade and place the stakes and
get nothing for it.
Last year the city engineer did about
$1,000 worth of this extra work and the
city got nothing for it except that the
sidewalks and curbs were laid. Mr.
Compton, the city engineer, has figured
it out that the work ought to be worth
about cents a lineal foot for surveying.
Carrying out the idea on these figures.
he recommends that the council com pei
property owners, when they petition for
street work and the work embraces curb.
ing and sidewslking, to deposit cents
per foot on the distance named in the
petition.
This il in line with the recommends
ton made by Mr.. Compton last week
asking the council to compel petitioners
for street work of any kind to deposit
the cost of making the surveys and then
in case the proceedings are abandoned
the city will not be out.
The street contractors are kicking at
being compelled to use the old form of
blanks in making bids on street work.
The old blanks require a com plicated
form of bids which, as one OF the con-
tractors remarked yesterday, require a
Philadelphia lawyer to understand. !"
The council has been endeavoring to
secure q new and simpler form, but as
yet has not succeeded.

EVANGELIST ROSS.
The Politicians Idea of Christ and
Cleveland.

The Politicians Idea of Christ and
Cleveland.
Mr.. Ross preached a strong sermon
last night at Trinity church on the Ten
Commandments. He said in part:
The ten commandments prove to me
that the Bible is the inpired word of
God. God made man and of course
knows all about man. God knows thst
man is q creature of love. Man must
love something supremely. Every gam.
hler in Los Angeles tonight has his god
}uss the same as have mine, and ii is
natural for him to serve it.
You will find men and women bowling
down to their false gods and sacrificing
their money, their health and their im.
mortal souls.
A man can make god out OF any
thing. He can make it out of piece OF
wood or out of gold or silver, and he
worships it the same ss 1 worship my
God. The dance room is worshiped by
great many people, and it is the most
dsmnsble on earth.
If you want to find out what mans
god is just say something against it and
see how quick you have fight.
A man might die and leave in any
bank CT Los Angeles 100000, but at
the same time he will be a pauper in
hell. Some politicians think that If
Jesus Christ and Grover Cleveland were
to stand together Jesus Christ would not
be eeen-he would be out of sight.
II one keeps the first commandment,
the other nine will take care of them
selves. II he breaks the fret. he places
the others right on top of bis head. II
a boy or girl keeps the first command
ment, there is NO danger but what they
ale safe.
Satan, If he could, would ruin every
woman in the state of California, and
that is enough to make me hate the
devil and bring every sinner to the true
God-the God OF Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob.
There is no such thing ss white lie ;
the truth is the truth, and lie is lie.
If every body kept the commandments
this earth would be perfect heaven.
There will be no service today, but
tomorrow Mr.. Ross will preach at IL q.

Major Jonos Comes Before the Board OF
Public Works With AN Jdea.

Major Jonos Comes Before the Board of
Public Works with AN idea.
Major E. W. Jones came before the
board of public works during the ses-
sion of that body yesterday on matter
in which the public. or that part of it
which travels in buggies, will be inter
eeted, ct least.
1t has occurred to Major Jones that
the repairing on the graveled streets
should be done with porphyry rock, in-
stesd of common gravel. He has
watched the streets where porphyry
rock has been used for number of
years and discovers that they wear re-.
markedly we'll. pack quickly. and that
contrary to common understanding the
moisture does not permeste the por-
phyry covered streets from below and
cause their ruin.
Major Jones stated that fine quality
OF the material in unlimited quantity
can be obtained in the Oshuenga hills.
Hauling to the city will coat little more
than it now costs to haul the gravel, and
the results will be much more aatisiac-
tori.
In connection with this idea Ma jor
Jones suggested that the Changing, in
stead OF being put at work on the public
streets. might be confined in a work
house and could be made to earn their
keeping and accomplish the same pur-
pose for which they are worked on the
streets by being put at work breaking
up the porphyry.
The board of public works will con-
slider the matter and probably make a
test OF the porphyry on some of the
streets ere long.

mitted in San Jose township, yesterday
applied to the board of supervisors to

The Victim of strost Gar Collision
Asks Compensation.
James Wickersham on November 9th

on Spring street, near Third, was see
vely injured in collision which took
place with a wagon at that point. AS
there was no place inside he stood on

collided he was badly crushed in the

manned in bed eight weeks, expanding

Mr.. Wickershsm, who was dealer in
pianos, rugs and sewing machines,
claims that his injuries have so inter

800 per month until then, that he ia
entitled to $4,000 as damages. He
therefore brought suit yesterday against
the Los Angeles Consolidated Electric
company for that amount, alleging that
the collision and accident were directly
to be attributed to the negligence of the

A Petition Asking Council TO Change
the Location of "a Street.
Maj. s. @. Hubbell came before the
board OF public works in the interest OF
the plan which has been up before the
board on previous occasions to move
email portion of Connecticut street.
The portion OF the street which 1T is
desired to move lies between Buckley
and Vernon streets and Tenth and
Eleventh streets. 1t is thus only one
block in length. Buckley street is the
dividing line between two tracts, and as
is sometimes the case. the lots in one
tract extend north snd south and in
the other east and west. In this case
the fact that Connecticut street is much
nearer Tenth street than Eleventh
very much out OF proportion and leaves
some OF them in bad position.
The lots which face on Connecticut
etreet are much larger than ordinary
lota. Not only this, but they face the
rear OF the lots facing on Tenth street,
and while one aide of the street is Dor
dersd by Residences the other side Is
lined with barns and outhouses.
The property ownere.desire 20 abandon
80 feet along the side OF Connecticut
street, where the residences are. and
cut a street through nearer to Eleventh
street. This will give the lots facing on
Tenth street 30-foot alley OIL their
reGr, and will allow the others on the
opposite side of the alley to move their
houses TO the other end of their lots,
and face street which may be lined on
both aides with resldenCes
Some time ago this matter WAS
brought before the council on petition,
and referred to the board OF public
works. The board recommended the
granting OF the petition. but protest
WAC entered about this time and that
was referred to the board also. Fer
some reason or other it has never had a
hearing. The board of public works
will now recommend that the council
set % time for hearing the protest.
