PALACE CAFE LICENSE
Police Commission Files Application
From WouId-Be Successors Until
After Next Week


Are the big cafes, on whose trail Po-
lice Commissioners Mason and Johnson
have camped, becoming frightened
This is a question which came before
the police commission yesterday, when
petition was presented to the board
praying for transfer of ownership of
the Palace cafe.
Adolph Jahnke and Bruno Enderlein
asked that the restaurant and saloon
license held by Schneider & Fieber be
transferred to them. The application
was laid over by the commission for
one week, when the motion to revoke
the licenses of the Palace, Bristol and
Imperial cafes will come up for con-
sideration.
G. A. Turner's application for a per-
NIT to install saloon at East Ninth
and San Julian streets was denied, be-
cause the location is in a residence dis
trict.
Thurner sought to put saloon next
to church and within short block
of another saloon. City Assessor Evan
Lewis made a strong protest against
granting the permit, and finally made
it plain to Commissioner Gates that he
meant business, and Gates seconded
Commissioner Johnson's motion to

COMPLAINS OF DRAM SHOPS
ON FIRST STREET
URGE WEDDING OUT PROCESS
Downtown District ls Offensive, say
Members, Because Of Throngs
Of Loafers on Street
Corners

There are but eighteen men now on
the day watch above Pico street and
ten below that point. 1t Is impossible
for me to detail more officers for spe-
cial beats down town until we have a
larger force" This statement was
made to the police commission by Chief
Hammel yesterday, after the board had
referred a communication from the
Municipal league to him.
Eighteen men to guard the business
and half the residence district of a city
of 100000" echoed a commissioner. The
communication from the Municipal
league was in some measure a bomb,
insomuch as 1t suggested the revoking
of ten saloon licenses, stating that the
necessary evidence could be obtained
In one night to warrant the action. The
communication, signed by President
Wilmer and Secretary Willard, was
finally filed. 1t is as follows:
Want Fewer Saloons
"The executive committee of the
Municipal league would respectfully
urge that the region between First and
Second on Main street, and on First,
between Main and Los Angeles, be
given some relief from the nuisance
entailed by the great number of saloons
in these streets. There are nine saloons
on Main street in the block from First
to Second, and seven saloons on First
street in the block from Main to Los
Angeles, making sixteen in two blocks.
Several of these are clean, well kept
and well regulated establishments, but
the majority are offensive to look upon
and they are crowded with toughs and
hobos, drunken men are frequently to
be seen in and about them and they
lower and demoralize the entire neigh
borhood in which they are located.
I'VE beg to call your attention to this
important fact with respect to this
particular region. A number Of import
ant lines of street cars reach the subur-
ban lines at these three corners, Second
and Main, First and Main, and First
and Los Angeles. These corners are
used by citizens changing from city
cars to suburban and this is particu-
larly true of First and Los Angeles,
where visitors to the city may be seen
almost any hour of the day, including
women and children.
"There is saloon at each of the
four corners here, and each saloon is
surrounded by ill-looking loafers. We
do not believe that any kind of police
supervision will keep these corners per-
manently cleared. The policy we would
urge is that you institute the most rigid
scrutiny into the behavior Of each of
these sixteen saloons, and on any pro-
vocation, such as is now afforded every
day in the year, you take away the
license of at least half of them. The
remainder might then be depended up
on to keep good order at those import
ant corners. We could suggest, more
over, that when these licenses are with
drawn, they be not reissued."

EASTERN LEAGUERS
AF TER PAT POWERS

NEW YORK, March 1.-Rumors have
been plentiful within the past week of
an able-bodied scheme to depose Pat
Powers from the presidency of the East
ern League. According to reports,
George Stallings. OF the Buffalo club,
and Howard Griff1ths, the deposed presi-
dent of the Jersey City club, are the
prime movers in the anti-Powers plot.
and they are intent on calling a special
meeting of the league and voting Powers
out OF office.
It is alleged that the first move was
made at Cincinnati, when Grifffths was
elected chairman of committee to con-
duct the negotiations with the major
leagues in relation to the draft rule. In
view of the fact that Powers was the
president of the national association
and should have represented the minors
in so important d matter, it was re-
garded as q direct slap at the official.
He is said TO have retaliated by ousting
Gridiths from the presidency of the Jer-
sey City team of the Eastern League,
and that brought the dispute to focus.
