WOULD PLACE A TAX
ON ALL BILLBOARDS
Los Angeles Club Women to Petition
Council With This View
in Mind

With perpleXing problems about bill
boards. army worms, gardens and
garbage, each of which needed a sep
arate solution, the Outdoor Art and
Park league had a busy hour yester-
DAY.
The city fathers are growing used
to the ways of certain band of ener-
setic women. composed mainly of lead
ing club women of Los Angeles, and
when they appear with Il petition it
is usually granted.
The women say billboards should be
taxed 81 per square foot. All were
agreed on this subject. Some of them
were for taxing irrespective of per-
sons and others declared that realty
signs should be exempt from the tax.
Secretary Burdette of the Realty board
was present and assisted in convinc-
ing those with doubts that such should
be the case and the civic workers drew
up a petition which will be presented
10 the council, asking that tax he
placed on billboards. excepting those
placed on property with the consent of
the owner for the purpose of renting
or selling.

Proposition to Furnish All Neees-
sary Metals for illegal Scheme

Francisco Mattios, arrested last Sat-
urday by United states Secret Service
Agent Cronin and brought to Los An
geles to be charged with counterfeit
ing United states gold coin, told an
interesting story, with the assistance
Of an interpreter, to Marshal Osborne
yesterday afternoon.
Mattios claims that he has been in
the United States but one year and
that he came here direct from the
Azores islands. His story, as told
Marshal Osborne yesterday, is as fol-
lows:
when I first came to this country
about a year ago, I went directly to
San Luis Obispo. where met a man
named Marsh. This man had a little
ccntrivance by which he manufactured
medals and other coins so skilfully
that they could hardly be detected from
the original He offered to sell his
machine, which was very simple in its
mechanism. to me for a small sum of
money. 1 purchased 1t from him, only
with the intention of duplicating med
ais and the like. l showed the scheme
to Benjamao friend of mine, who
conceived the idea of counterfeiting
money with it. tried it after he gave
me a formula that told me the cor
rect proportions of the different metals
and it worked better than 1 had sup
posed.
"Beniamao made me a proposition to
the effect that he provide me with the
necessary metals, that l make the
coins and he dispose of them. To this
l consented. but we had not more than
gotten started than 1 was arrested"
Marshal Osborne advised that a war,
rant be procured for the immediate
arrest of Marsh and Benjamao, and
they will doubtless be brought to Los
Angeles within the next day or two.

TWO ARE ADJUDGED INSANE
T. Ramirez and Harry Haas Committed
to AsyIums by Judge Wilbur

Judge Wilbur yesterday ordered that
7. Ramirez, a Mexican, be committed
TO the insane asylum, upon application
of his wife. Ramirez is alleged to be
affected with a religious mania and
at times would become violent, forci-
bly, removing the clothing from the
bed on which his sick wife lay and
trying to pawn them.
He also ordered that Harry Haas, a
ffteen-year-old boy, be sent to the
home for the feeble minded. The evil
dence in support of the application
for his commitment showed that he
had been confined in similar institu-
ton in Kansas for three years, until
a few weeks ago. His disease is said
tc be kleptomania, it being stated by
witnesses that he had recently taken
various articles that did not belong
tc him, including two checks, one for
$476 and another for $1OO, and that he
knocked a little girl off her bicycle
and rode it away.

WILLIAM GERVAIS
HELD TO ANSWER
FURNISHES BOND FOR HIS
APPEARANCE
Makes No Defense to the Charge Of
Beating His Nine-Year-old Sister.
She Is the Principal Witness
Against Him

Judge Downing yesterday held Will
liam Gervais to the superior court on
the charge of beating his sister with
"a weapon liable to produce DEATH -
the charge being brought by the dis
trict attorney because the former
charge brought against him in police
court was made misdemeanor and
the humane society believed the pun
ishment meted out to him was made
quate for the act.
In holding him to the superior court,
Judge Downing fixed his bail at $1,000,
and he was released upon presenting
bond in that amount signed by Reese
Llcwellyn and Edward Holbert.
The hearing was one-sided, Gervals
introducing no testimony in defense,
and evidently was prepared for the de-
cision of the court, as he had his bond
ready shortly after the amount was
fixed. His sister the alleged victim of
his beating, was the principal witness
against him.
The charge now pending against him
is a felony and it is said that the case
will be bitterly fought by him.

Others who were not so fortunate
reclined dejectedly in the pen, and
