THOSE CAFE COMPLAINTS

The police commissioners have taken the proper
course in fixing date for hearing the complaints
against certain cafes All sorts of charges have been
preferred informally against the places in question 1t
is averred by persons claiming to speak from personal
observation that of gross improprety wit
in these cafes that the governing the
sale of liquor is fagrantly violated
AS The Herald remarked when those complaints first
appeared they incredible in respects. But
they reiterated in substance reputable citizens
have Joined in the request for formal hearing of the
charges. 1t is important that this course be taken
in justice to all interests If the charges are
unfounded grossly exaggerated is right that the
propretors of the cafes be vindicated If the charges
be substantated the liquor licenses of those places
should be cancelled And again, the good of Los
Angeles demands that the facts be disclosed and that
measures be taken at correct any abuse that
may be discovered
Not until such official investigation occurs can the
full of the charges preferred informally be
credited by the public.

RAILROADS MAY SETTLE
CITRUS FRUIT DISPUTE
Santa Fe, However, Makes a Large
Purchase of Modern Re-
frigerator Cars

Differences over interchange Of
freight by the Santa Fe and the Salt
Lake roads are in fair way to be
settled within the next few weeks ac-
cording to the statement made yester-
day by General Freight Agent Barn
well of the Santa Fe.
Although he refused to say as much,
Mr.. Barnwell let it be understood that
the officials of the Clark road had sub
mitted the terms which it will be will
ing to make with the Santa Fe for the
use of the latter's rails, and the pro-
posal is now under consideration by
Santa Fe officials.
mo, do not think an understands
ing will be arrived at within the week,
but 1t is probable that there will be an
amicable settlement of the question:"
said Mr.. Barnwell yesterday.
The great prize for which the Salt
Lake is working is the possibility Of
obtaining it's share of the citrus fruit
shipments during the coming season.
That the Santa Fe expects to hold its
own in this regard is shown by the large
order it has recently given for refriger-
ator cars. Up until July orders ag-
gregating nearly 1000 cars had been
placed by the Santa Fe and within the
past three weeks this number has been
enlarged by an order for an additional
1000 forty-foot cars of the latest de-
sign. With these additions the Santa
Fe will have an equipment of over
5000 cars. The contracts for the recent
orders call for delivery in time for the
opening of the citrus fruit season.
"Our estimates of the coming crop
have not been made" said Mr.. Barn
well in giving statement of the pre-
paration which the Santa Fe is making.
"but we are assured that it will be
much larger than that of any previous
year."

RENEW GARBAGE CONTRACT
FOR TEMPORARY PERIOD
TO CONTINUE TO
MAKE COLLECTIONS
Board of Public Works Authorizes
Alexander to Dispose Of Refuse
Until Incinerating Plant Is Conn
pleted-Receives Increased Pay

The city garbage contract expired
yesterday, but an understanding be-
tween the council and Contractor
Alexander exists to the effect that he
will continue to collect and dispose of
the garbage until the council can make
a temporary contract for the disposal
of garbage until the new incinerator is
completed and the city is ready to be-
gin collecting and cremating garbage.
At the present time Alexander is re-
ceiving $2240 a month from the city for
disposing of the garbage. According
to the best information obtainable, it
has been agreed TO make a temporary
contract with Alexander to continue
the work, but as he declines to con-
tinue at the present rate, he is to re-
ceive $4,000 a month until the inciner-
ator is completed.
At Mondays session of the council
the question was taken up on motion
of Councilman Hitler, who desired that
the finance committee take the ques-
tion in hand and protect the city
against the danger of being without
garbage collection.
Houghton made a fight to have the
question sent to his committee, how
ever, as he poses as a specialist on
garbage. Accordingly it was sent to the
supply committee. Through his neg
lect, his associates say, nothing had
yesterday morning, and the subject
was taken from his committee and
sent to the board of public works. AS
1t is, no serious result will ensue. but
had not Alexander been willing to pro-
ceed without contract, the city would
have been without garbage collection
indefinitely.
