man Admits His Guilt

F. Gaul, the proprietor of the Plaza beer
hall, was convicted yesterday in Justice
Morrison's court of selling liquor on Sun
day. He was arrested on warrant sworn
out by Patrolmen Craig and Romans, who
had visited his place Sunday afternoon
and were able to secure drinks of what
they pronounced to be the meanest whisky
that they ever took over bar. Although
the accused has restaurant license, moth
Ing was said by him about the necessity of
their buying something to eat and getting
the drinks on the side Gaul is French
man, unable to talk the English language,
and through an interpreter he admitted his
guilt. Sentence will be passed Wednesday
morning.
Four other saloon men were before the
police court yesterday, but they were wise
enough to secure continuances, Charles
Endel was not ready to plead. He stated
that demurrer would be filed in his case
and asked for a long continuance. 1t was
granted him, the case being passed until
March 25. e. Castillo had his case passed
until tomorrow. Henry Clark will be tried
March ~ and George McGinnis March 25.
Justice Owens having overruled demur-
rers to the complaints in several of the
saloon cases, the saloon men have decided
to present similar actions before Justice
Morrison, in the hope that he will take a
different view of the matter.

Sanitary and Protective Measures

An ordinance was passed relative to the
muzzling of all dogs within the corporate
limits of the city. AS passed, the measure
Is not so sweeping in character as might
have been expected, in view of the board
of health's recommendation, but 1t is suf-
ficiently comprehensive.
The ordinance prohibits all dog owners
or possessors of dogs, under penalty, from
allowing their CANNES on the streets, al
leys or uninclosed lots of the city without
muzzles. Dogs without such muzzles are
liable TO be seized by the pound master
his deputies, or by the officers of the city

tags will be held for the owner for five
days. provided they have no symptoms oi
rabies. Untagged dogs will be kept but
three days, and can be redeemed only or
payment of 81 for the animal.
All dogs suspected of having hydrophobia
must be examined by the health officer
and If one is found to be afflicted witt
rabies 1t shall be killed at once.
Another sanitary measure, an ordinance
defining the duties of the meat inspector
and prohibiting the slaughter of diseased
animals for sale, was adopted without dis
cusSion.

WATER MOVEMENTS
Rates the Same for the Coming Year.
De Laguna's Proposition

A report was filed by the water supply
committee in relation to the water rates fol
the year commencing July 1st 1898, and
ending June aO 1898, with the statement OF
the committee, which here follows, is an
ordinance fixing the rates as they have
been for the past year:
"First-The term of the proposed ordin
ance includes only the period from July
1st to July 22d, 1898, under existing lease
to the Los Angeles City Water Company
hence the remaining eleven months and
nine days of operation hereunder would
be within municipal control.
"Second-Owing to the naturally in
creased expense incident to the assump-
ton Of municipal control as well as much
needed extension of system throughout
the city, the present rates will not produce
a revenue in excess of requirements fol
this period.
.'Third-It would be an unjust considera-
ton of the two outside water companies to
lower the existing rates without first hav-
ing demonstrated by practical operation
under competent self-sustaining municipa
control that water can be supplied to the
inhabitants of the city at a reduced rate
"Fourth-Should the existing rates pro-
duce surplus under municipal control the
excess would inure to the benefit of the
municipality directly and to those who
paid the water tax indirectly"
The recommendation of the committee
that the ordinance re-establishing the ole
rates be adopted was approved, only
Hutchison voting no, after having had The
third section read three times so that he
could arrive at a proper understanding Of
its provisions.
The committee further reported: In re-
gard to the petition from the Highland Wa
ter company, asking that existing water
rates be so advanced as to return to the
company a revenue in keeping with the
investment of said company. as contem'
plated by law, we beg to report that under
another provision of the law your honor.
able body is prohibited from establishing
different rates for different water com.
panies, and inasmuch as it would be a
palpable injustice to majority of the
water consumers to raise the rates
throughout the city, we recommend thai
the petition be filed.
This was done by a vote OF to L. Hutchi
son again vociferously voting no.
Herman DIS Laguna's proposition, offer
ing to construct for the city complete
water system for the sum of 81, SIS, 900, wa
filed away for future reference.

FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY LAW
Discussed by Merchants and Manufac-
turers-Committee Appointed

The regular monthly meeting of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association was
held last evening in the Hall Of Industry,
with seventeen members present. Presi-
dent Fred w. Baker called the meeting to
order about S:15 o'clock, and requested e.
E. Crandall to open the discussion on the
first subject: "Will the passage of the
federal bankruptcy act now before congress
be benefit to the commercial interests of
this country?''
Mr.. Crandall referred to the various
bankruptcy bills that have been presented
in the past, the Torrey. Lindsay, Nelson and
the Henderson-which was passed by the
house last Saturday-and their distinguish
ing characteristics and weak points were
touched upon briefly. Mr.. Crandall quoted
Senator White as having advised that the
association pass a strong resolution op-
posing the Henderson bill and have 1t
signed by every merchant who opposes It,
and send it to Washington. Then, when
the bill reaches the senate, all that can be
will be done by Senator White to defeat it.
A letter was read from Marshall Field &
Co. Of Chicago, expressing strong opposi-
ton to the bill and giving rea-
sons therefor, end urging strongly
ing reasons therefor, and urging strongly
cooperation to prevent the bill from be-
coming law that would tend to cloud the
prosperity of the country. Considerable
ulScuSSlOn enSueQ. A petltlon was READ,
but was not acted upon
Judge s. C. Hubbell, representing the
National Bank of Southern California,
stated that there was a great deal to be
said on both sides,- and proceeded to give
some arguments in which the possible IA
vorable results of the passage of the bill
might advance. Finally Mr.. Meyberg
moved that committee of three, consist
Ing OF Judge Hubbell E. z. Crandall and
Mr.. Mathews, draft resolutions, to be pre-
sented az the next regular meeting. The
motion was carried. s4s
secretary Zeehandelaar read letter
from D. b. Jerrue. suggesting that the as
sociation get up an excursion to make q
trip over the Valley road when 1t is opened
next month. to promote the, commercial
relations and cement the friendly feelings
between merchants in Los Angeles and
those IN Kern City and Bakersfield. On
motion, the secretary wns Instructed to
