running schedule for the Twentieth
Century Limited between this city and
Chicago, temporarily abandoned fol-

the COW hot mash on the recommen-

LONDON, June 25.-During the past
week the American invasion of Lon
don has surpassed previous records.
Every hotel is crowded and the princi-
pal ones are booked far in advance.
With the increasing number of visi-
tors come a great number of suspic-
ious persons who have kept the secret
service men busy. An inspector Of
Scotland yard said to the Associated
Press that he had been compelled II
give many of these American suspects
orders to leave England, but neverthe-
less reports are received daily of op-
erations of confidence men and card
sharps.
The inspector pointed out that pre-
viously American burglars had visited
London during the season, but that
now there was an inundation of con-
fidence men. Strange to relate the
victims in almost every case are Amer
leans who, it would be supposed, were
acquainted with the operations of
sharpers from their own country. Dur
ing Ascot week numerous cases were
reported to the police.

GAS INSPECTORS BOND
WILL BE APPROVED TODAY
FINAL ACT IN ESTABLISHING NEW
DEPARTMENT
Finance and Supply Committees Agree
Upon Unstinted Allowance for
Properly Equpping Office With
Necessary Apparatus

The appointment by Mayor McAleer
of W. F. Jordon to the position of gas
and gas meter Inspector as provided
for in the now famous public utility
ordinance marks another step towards
the regulation of corporations dealing
in public utilities by the citizens of
Los Angeles. Jordons bond will be
approved by the council today.
This will mark the formal establish
ment and beginning of operations of a
new department in the city govern
ment. The ordinance creating the
position was drawn at the instigation
of The Herald. For five months The
Herald fought persistently for, and at
last secured it's adoption by the coun-
ell over the mayors veto and the
measure became a law. The red tape
of the civil service department was at
last unwound and the appointment
made. Incidentally Jordon was the
only man to successfully pass the ex-
animation.
The finance and supply committees
of the council have already agreed
that the new department shall be
fitted up in the best possible manner
as regards apparatus. A prominent
member of the finance committee said:
I'VE have created the position and
the appointment has been made. Now
we believe that the best apparatus
should be purchased and Jordon fitted
up with everything necessary in carry
ing on his department and to aid him
in the enforcement of the law"
The list submitted by Jordon to the
supply clerk includes a photometer,
meter proven and many articles used in
chemical laboratories to be used in
testing the candle power. heat units and
analyzing the gas furnished to the citi
zens of Los Angeles.
Just what the cost of fitting up the
department will be is not yet known,
but the equipment promises to be eX-
pensive. The city fathers say, I'VE
must have the best, the peoples rights
demand It,"
Mr. Jordon is a Stanford man, hav-
ing taken a course there especially to
fit him for the business of making gas.
Since leaving college seven years ago
he has been identified as manager or
superintendent with the gas companies
at Redlands, Riverside, San Bernar-
dino, Pomona and Whittier.
Mayor McAleer stated that, aside
from the fact that he passed the strin-
gent examination, Jordon comes highly
recommended and in his opinion the

NO BIRD HATS,

NEW LAW BRINGS WOE TO THE
WOMEN
MILLINERS LOSE MILLIONS
Feathers as Feminine Adornment May
Cost Heavy Penalty IT
Game Warden so

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, June 25.-The millinery
jobbers in this market, whose business
is estimated at $S,O0O,000 a year, are
greatly agitated over the way in which
Game Warden ]. H. Rodes of Sedalia
will execute the Walmsey law, passed
by the legislature ninety days ago and
which goes into effect tonight at IL
o'clock.
While the law was intended to pre-
serve the fish and game of the state, 1t
bears heavily on the millinery trade,
because it absolutely prohibits fowl
or any parts Of it to be exposed for
sale. This provision will, If strictly
enforced, affect the market within the
next two years to the extent Of nearly
SO, 900 900, for under it plumage of birds
cannot be used on women's hats.
VIII Abide by Law
washington avenue milliners, who
emphatically declare that they will
abide by the law, also believe that
the law will affect the millinery indus
try from an artistic viewpoint. One
of them said tonight: 1--WE will be
forced to create new millinery designs
out of other material, in view Of the
possibility that we will be unable to
use certain plumage and feathers"
The wholesale milliners declare that
they are in the dark because of the
prolonged reticence of the state game
warden. Mr. RodeS was in st. Louis
several days ago, and when asked by a
prominent milliner as to how he would
interpret the law, declined to reply,
saying it would be premature to do so,
in view of the fact that there was no
such statute at the time of the inter-
view. 1t Is expected that Warden
Rodes will give out his Interpretation
and method of enforcement in the next
few days
Arrest Faced by Woman
Section So of the law says: "All
sheriffs, deputy. sheriffs, marshals, con-
stables and other peace officers are
hereby declared to be ex-officio game
and fish wardens." 1t is humorously
pointed out that this section empowers
st. Louis policeman to arrest any
woman with game or wild bird" or
any of its parts, on her hat.
A peculiar situation also arises from
the fact that Richard Hanlon, who is
both president of the Richard Hanlon
Millinery company and a member of
the metropolitan police commission,
will be compelled by this section to en-
force the law as a police commissioner
against himself as a milliner.
Milliners say the price of hats will
not be affected by any kind Of enforce
ment. however strict. There is no in
clination to dodge the law In any way,
but the situation will be met by Great
ing new designs made of other
material.
