HEAVY FINE FOR

JUSTICE SAYS PEOPLE DE-
MAND PUNISHMENT
WOMAN PLEADED GUILTY
Justice Chambers Tells Woman Who
Is Accused Of Conducting Blind
Pig That Public Sentiment
Must Be Needed

Many OF the spectators in Justice
Austin's court room yesterday after
noon were surprised when Mrs. G..
Ghigila of 61O San Fernando street was
heavily fined after a plea Of guilty Of
selling liquor without a license.
IT plead guilty" said the woman
when the charge against her was read
by Judge Austin, but / ask 1eniency of
you as I have to support my family
while my husband is in Europe. l
solemnly promise never to violate the
liquor ordinance again."
When she stopped everyone in the
court room expected to hear the judge
deliver word of warning to the Of
fender and impose light fine, but the
judge, addressing the prisoner, said
lowing to the present agitation Of
the liquor question in Los Angeles it
will be necessary for me to fine you.
Public opinion is very strong against
such offenders as you. For this reason
the fines of late have been heavier than
usual Several have been fined by me
that at another time might have con-
sidered with leniency but as 1t is will
be as easy as possible. Fined $780,"
When Chief of Police Hammel was
asked If any special step had been
taken toward cleaning the city Of the
"blind pig element on account of the
present agitation Of the liquor question
he said:
1--WE have not increased our efforts
in this direction in the least since this
question has come up. We have al
ways done everything we could to keep
these institutions dow and 1 believe
that we have been successful in a great
measure but think we would be more
so If term of imprisonment, rather
than fine, was given by the judges"

WILLIAMS CASE
ATTORNEYS IN A QUANDARY
Testimony Almost Identical in the
Trials of Two Men, but One Is
Acquitted While the other
is Found Guilty
ATTORNEYS IN A oUANDARY

A. C. Williams, alias Bull Williams"
charged with highway robbery, was ac-
quilted by jury in Judge Smiths de-
partment of the superior courts yester-
day afternoon after one Of the most
hotly contested trials in the history of
the local courts.
With the acquittal of Williams Pc
cular state of affairs has come to
pass in the district attorneys office
and endless trouble is promised when
Irving Long, the partner Of Williams,
comes up for sentence tomorrow. Will
liams was arrested on the complaint of
man named Friary the morning of
February on charge Of highway
robbery. 1t was alleged that Friary
had Just had a 500 bill changed and
was on his way home prior to taking a
trip east when he was set upon by
three men and robbed of his money.
According to the story told by Friary
Williams had seized and held him while
Irving Long searched him and took
his money. Williams was then alleged
to have beaten Friary before running
away. Friary also ran and found Of
ficer Tyler. who arrested the trio and
also a woman and man supposed to
have been members OF the party.
williams was tried on the charge the
first week in April and the jury dis
agreed and was discharged. Long was
tried the second week and found guilty
as charged and will come up for SEN
tence tomorrow. The facts troubling
the attorneys office are az follows: The
testimony given in the Long case was
Identical with that given In the Will
llams case and yet Long, who was
found guilty OF having rifed the mans
pockets while Williams assisted, was
found guilty and Williams was dis
charged.
The verdict in the Williams case
proved popular one TO his friends

MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE

Sixth ward residents are jubilant be-
cause of the marvellous growth of that
locality during the past two years,
which has fairly outstripped every 9th
err section of Los Angeles.
According to the census marshal, the
population Of the Sixth ward has In
creased to enormous proportions, prln-
cipally because of the extension of the
trolley and extensive development work
that has been carried on there.
Here are the figures recorded for 1904
and 1905, respectively on the population
of the city by wards, showing the grand
total of 201 ,249 for the present wear.

CHEFOO, Jan 3.-Three torpedo
launches from Port Arthur arrived at
Chefoo this morning. On board were
several Russian officers of minor rank
who had come in command OF the small
craft
These officers, while somewhat
dovncast over the fact that they had
been compelled TO gibe uD the
light, yet felt great relief that the long
struggle against almost fnsurmounta-
BILE obstacles was at last over, and
that Russian arms had come out of it
all untainted by actual defeat
One of the officers. speaking OF final
surrender, said:
When we left Port Arthur the fort
ress and the town were complete wrecks
The forts, ships, warehouses, docks, and
everything valuable had been blown up
These explosions were the sounds which
were probably misinterpreted by the
Chinese as firing at sea-
The warships. he added, died hard
It took several explosions to destroy
them

The destroyers are the Stratni, Vlastn-

because the capture of 2e3 Meter Hill by
the Japanese made it impossible for
ships TO live in the harbor
They did not encounter any Japanese
ships at sea.
The destroyers have been disarmed.
