SAYS CAFES OBEY CITY LAWS
Special officer Detailed by Police COM
mission Reports on Palace, lm-
perial and Bristol

That the Bristol, Imperial and Palace
cafes have not been violating the liquor
ordinances and shocking public decency
is the substance of a report made by
Special officer w. e. Smith, who had
been detailed to look into the problem.
officer Smith stated to the police board
yesterday that he had spent number
of evenings in all of these places,
dressed in citizens clothes, and had
found nothing to which any objections
could be taken.
This investigation was made as the
result of q motion introduced by Com
missioner Johnson at a recent meeting
of the board that the licenses of these
places be revoked.
A few weeks ago Wiley J. Phillips re-
ported to the board that he and others
had visited the three places in question
and found that women and children
were served with liquor until they be-
came intoxicated and acted in ways
that shocked public decency. Acting
on this advice Commissioner Johnson
endeavored to have the license revoked,
but agreed that a thorough investiga-
ton should be made by some officer
detailed by the commission.

INSPECT P0sToFFICE SITE
Nature of Soil Is to Govern Location
of Proposed Federal Building
for Los AnueIeS

Sand or adobe, which? On the an
swer to that question hangs the de-
cision of the location of the new post
office.
j. w. Roberts, construction superin
tendent of the government building at
San Francisco, who arrived in Los
Angeles last night said:
II am in Los Angeles to inspect and
examine the soil of the site which is
proposed for the new postoffice. If L
find the nature of the soil to be very
light and sandy 1 shall return an adj
verse report to Washington. While If
it is heavy L can give a favorable re-
port The nature of the soil is deter
mined by borings made in different
places in the site.
For the construction of heavy gov
ernment buildings a soil foundation is
required that will sustain the tremen-
dous pressure exerted by the weight OF
the structure.
1--WE have just about completed the
new postoffice in San Francisco and it
is a credit to that CITY,"

SEEKS ARREST OF HOLLAND
Woman Accuses Former Coroner OF
Striking Her When She Asked
for Rent

Because as it is alleged he struck
his landlady when she demanded two
months unpaid rent for his office, the
woman swore to a complaint against
DR.. Holland, formerly coroner of this
county, on the charge of battery.
DIR. Holland has his office in the
Clarke house, 31614 South Spring street.
Mrs. Eliza Flick, an old woman, is the
proprietress of the house.
Mrs. Flick says that yesterday morn
ing she called upon DIR. Holland in
company with a Mrs. Stoner to demand
her two months rent. She says she did
this upon the advice of her lawyer, as
she contemplated dispossession pro-
ceedings.
She made her demand for the rent
and DR.. Holland, she says, began to
curse her and finally struck her in the
chest. She fell fainting to the floor and
was carried by Mrs. Stoner to her
room. When she recovered she sought
a warrant for the doctors arrest.

TO ADVANCE LIBRARY WORK
Civil Service Board Provides for APP
pontment of Director of Study
and Research

The board of civil service commits
sioners yesterday afternoon approved
all that the board of library directors
had done at it's session last week toward
raising salaries and naming heads for
new departments.
To accommodate the increasing
growth of the library the civil service
commissioners agreed to establish a
new schedule of classification and hold
examinations for applicants for the
places. The young women who were
placed in charge of new departments
and made assistants of old departments
can only be certain of these positions
until an examination is held under
civil service rules.
By a ruling of the commissioners a
new attache will be added to the libary
staff to be known as the director OF
study and research at a salary of from
$100 to $125 a month.

BELIEVE INJURIES ARE
RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT
POLICE SAY JULES RAMBAUD
FELL UNDER TRAIN
Detectives Advance Theory That Vic
tim Was Under Influence of ABB
sinthe. and Was Not Placed Under
Cars by Robbers

An operation will be performed on
Jules Rambaud this morning at the
French hospital, If he is deemed able to
survive the shock. His attending ply
sician, DR.. Sassela, considers this
doubtful and believes the man will die
Rambaud was picked up on the
tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad
yesterday morning at Alameda and
Banning streets with his right arm
and leg severed from his body. When
| he became conscious he told the police
! that he was thirty years old and that
he came from La Puente Monday He
was employed there by another French
man, Francois Grazide. He brought
with him a check for 5000, which he
cashed, but a few hours later when
found he had only $3.50 on his person.
He said he should have had $3.50.
On arriving in Los Angeles RAM
baud hired q room at Joseph Bresson's s
hotel on Also street. He spent the
evening in the Eden cafe at the cor
ner of Also and Alameda streets
watching q game of billiards.
About o'clock Monday night he met
a woman known as Big Adele and went
with her to a room. After that he said
he could remember nothing.
Woman's Story
The woman known as Big Adele ad-
mitted yesterday to Detectives Smith
and Dixon that she met Rambaud in
front of the Eden cafe and went with
him to Mexican wedding at 119 Mar
chessault street
She says they stayed at this place
until after midnight At 1890 o'clock
she says Rambaud left her in front of
S15 Also street and walked toward his
lodging house. At that time Rambaud
did not appear intoxicated.
Within half an hour after Rambaud
and Adele parted he was found on the
Southern Pacific tracks. His watch
was gone and he had bruises on his
| head.
The police disbelieve that Rambaud
was placed on the tracks by men who
robbed him and wished to hide the evil
dence Of their crime. The police say
they have discovered that he is addicted
to the use Of absinthe and that he I'M
doubtedly wandered on the tracks while
under the influence of liquor and was
run over by freight engine from "a
lumber yard nearby.

BOARDS OF TRADE
ARE B|CKER|NG
MEMBERS DISSATISFIED WITH
CONSOLIDATION
Recent Merge of Three Organizations
Is Not Unanimously Approved
and Separate institutions
Are Maintained

Absolutely no consolidation of the
Los Angeles. board of trade with the
wholesalers board of trade and the
Credit Mems association has taken
place; the three boards are now abso-
lutely distinct from each other" is the
statement of Gregory Perkins, secre-
tary of the Los Angeles board Of trade.
1.-THE consolidation is an accomplished
fact and the new board has been doing
business under the name of the Los
Angeles Wholesalers board of trade
for nearly a week." is how w. c..
Mushet, secretary of the Wholesalers
board and secretary and treasurer If
the Credit Mems association, speaks of
the situation.
Mr.. Perkins says: "At a meeting Of
the members of the Los Angeles board
of trade yesterday afternoon the action
of the committee which was appointed
to pave the way toward consolidation
was repudiated, as the feeling among
the members seems to be that as long
as the Los Angeles board of trade has
so many more members than both of
the other boards combined the balance
of power should be in the hands of the
Los Angeles board.
Ask for Conference
"At that meeting a motion was car
ried to appoint ten members of the Los
Angeles board of trade, the other two
boards to each appoint five members,
and that these members of the differ
ent boards should decide on the terms
of adjustment. AS the case now stands
it is rather doubtful whether the re-
organization and consolidation will be
finally effected
Mr.. Mushet said: 1.-The decision of
the Los Angeles board of trade in re-
gard to the consolidation is a rather
tardy one, as the new Los Angeles
Wholesalers board has been doing
business for some time. The decision
for consolidation was made by a COM
mittee composed of three members from
each of the three boards and the terms
of the consolidation were satisfactory
to all of the members of the committee.
Nearly all of the large wholesale busi-
ness interests have affiliated with the
new board. 1 think that the dissats-
faction now being shown by the Los
Angeles board is due to some internal
disturbance"
