How a Judge is Reducing
Drunkenness.

Judge William Jeff Pollard. OF
the Second district police court,
st. Louis, requires men who come
before him for nkenness to
sign a pledge not to drink for a
year. The judge has between
seventy-tive and one hundred
men pledged at the present time,
and only l per cent of the mum
ber has broken the promise. Re-
Gently teamster who has a wife
and three very young children
was brought before Pollard and
fined $25. The judge agreed to
remit the fine on the condition
that the teamster take the pledge
and also call once each week at
the judges house and report
how he had kept the pledge,
bringing his wife as witness.
The teamster consented and his
wages were saved for the family.

Are We to Have Frog
Blooded Women?

Augusta Herald.
A little girl up in Massachusetts,
fell in the fire the other day and
was frIghtfully burned, The
surgeons in an attempt to save
her life have taken the skins of 40
frogs and grated them in her
body. Several generations ago a
man was run through a cotton
gin. Every drop of blood ran
out of his veins. Surgeons I'M
medlately went to a pond and
caught 100000 frogs. They took
the blood from each of them and
put itinto the mans veins. He
got well. Since thatlI day the
number of frog blooded men has
been constantly on the increase.
If this little girlsgets well, and
we hope that she will, future
generations Of women may be as
cold to the touch of a man as the
frog blooded men of today are to
an appeal for help.

High Taxes and Whiskey.
From Able vile Medium.

From Abbey Vile Medium.
The night after the dispensary
was voted out of Darlington
county the town council of the
town of Darlington2 smet and
raised the tax levy fort the town
six mills to make up for the dis
pensary profits to be withdrawn.
The citizens of the town were
paying at the rate of nine mills
and now they will pay Is mills.
Add to this the State and county
levy and the citizens of the town
will pay about 81 mills.
The heavy tax might be endur-
ed ii the drinking of whiskey
would stop. but nothing of that
kind will come to pass. 1t has
not stopped in Pickens and New
berry and no doubt the blind
tigers have entered Darlington
A few of them will be caught
and punished but the majority
will ply their trade with i'm

is contended by some that the

what is more Intoxicating than a

by some that openwork stockings
are worn in Baltimore. But
there is no evidence OF it except

VETERANS CAMP
At THE SEASIDE
THOUSANDS ON THE WAY TO
HUNTINGTON BEACH
WELCOMED BY J. v. WCKERS
Southern California Association Be-
gins Its Annual Reunion In
Tents on Methodist
Grounds
WELCOMED BY J. v. WCKERS

Veterans and sons of veterans, not
to mention the wives, daughters, Sis
ters and sweethearts of veterans, have
established temporary headquarters at
Huntington Beach, where they will en-
joy life and recount the stirring times
of long ago during the next ten days.
Yesterday was the opening day of the
eighteenth annual encampment of the
Southern California Veteran associ-
alton. Last year it met at Coronado.
This year it meets nearer to the center
of veteran population, and until taps
are sounded Friday, September 10, the
Methodist camp meeting grounds at
Huntington Beach will swarm with the
heroes of American soldiery in all the
strifes since the revolution.
Several hundred tents will be re"
quired to accommodate the veterans
and their families and only few OF
these tents are up. The camp last
night resembled that of an army be-
fore battle, with 100 tents occupied and
others in various states not yet habita-
BILE. A large number of tents have
been shipped but will not be in position
until today.
1t is expected that fully 10000 vet
Grams and visitors will be at Hunting
ton Beach after today. Two thousand
was the estimate for yesterday, when
the crowds were still on the road.
Formal exercises of opening were
held last evening. J. V. Vickers gave
the address of welcome, which was
responded to by Judge Langley. Num-
erous short addresses were delivered
and the veterans were given the free
dom of the beach for ten days
The officers of the association are:
A. B. Paul, Santa Ana, commander;
C. P. Wilson, Pomona, senior vice COM
mander; L. D. Phillips, San Diego.
junior vice commander; H. 2. Gill,
Long Beach, surgeon E. o. Mcintyre.

BOARD FINDS CAFES
DID NOT VIOLATE LAW
BRISTOL, PALACE AND IMPERIAL ARE SAFE
Licenses Not Revoked by Police Commissioners and Members
Hold That Charges of Temperance Workers
Have Not Been Sustained

with the law but with the rules of this
commission. A waiter might disobty
the rules, but as has been shown here
today they are always discharged for
such an offense. Why should we then
revoke a mans license when he is try
ing to do right? Such action practically
means the confiscation of his property.
1 do not believe we have the right to
confiscate property. When a court has
not this right surely this commission
has not. The place for this case is the
criminal courts, where the offenders
can be punished lawfully"
Gates Speaks for Proprietors
Commissioner Gates also summed up
the case as follows: "The managers OF
these cafes are accused of breaking
rule of this commission and for that
reason these people, representing the
extreme moral element of the city. came
to us with demand that we revoke
the licenses. When this rule was made
/ believed that 1t was not constitu-
tional. I have investigated it and now
feel sure that it is contrary to law.
We do business under the laws of the
state of California. Under these laws
woman has just as much right to
drink as a man. These cafes all have
saloon licenses and except on Sunday
to women as they do to men. This is
the law. 1t is not my ideal of what it.
ought to be. but it is the law. When a
state law of such a character exists
we have no right to go back of it."
The prosecution introduced volumes
of testimony at the morning session
but the witnesses invariably fell down
under the cross-examination of the at
torneys. Wiley j. Phillips was the
first and most important witness. He
said in part: IT went into the Palace
cafe on the evening of August 10 at
about $50 o'clock and saw thirteen
women drinking without anything to
eat before them. At 1920 the same
evening I saw three couples stagger
from the Spring street entrance so
drunk that the women were embracing
the men on the street. At the same
time boys and girls not over IA were
drinking in the cafe"
On cross-examination he said he
guessed at the ages of the girls and that
he supposed the boys were that young,
for they were wearing knee trousers.
The Rev. Mr.. Phillips also said he
could not swear that women were
served with drinks without meals on
Sunday, and when asked whether he
knew that the state law and the con-
stitution of the United States granted
equal privileges to both men and wo-
men as regards drinking he answered
that he was not instructing the COM
mission upon it's duties.
Mrs. Boyd Testifies
Mrs. Marion T. Boyd of BIG Alvarado
street stated that she had visited the
cafes in question with Carrie Nation
when that celebrity was in Los An
geles some time ago. Her evidence was
not allowed, however, as what she de-
scribed took place under the adminis-
tration of a former police commission.
Mrs. Newton Hogan of 500 West
Thirty-sixth street stated that on a
Sunday evening she went to the Palace
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-06

BY vote McAleer, Gates and James
to Mason and Johnson the police COM
mission yesterday found the Palace
and Imperial cafes not guilty of viola
ting the laws regarding the sale OF
liquor to women. BY a vote of Nc
Aleer; Gates, James and johnson the
Bristol was found not guilty.
The investigation was begun in the
morning and continued throughout the
entire day. The testimony was spicy
at times and much feeling was
evinced by both sides.
Wiley ]. Phillips. the temperance
advocate, conducted the prosecution
and consumed three hours in introduce
ing his testimony in the morning. A
great number of witnesses were ex-
amined by the commission and attor-
neys for the defense, Jud Rush and
Earl Rogers. The great majority of
these were women, but few men were
intermingled.
The afternoon session was consumed
entirely by the defense in presenting
it's witnesses, who were in the main
proprietors of the cafes under fire.
They told of the rules of their estab-
lishments, their instructions to walters,
etc. The other witnesses were for the
most part policemen and detectives on
whose beats these cafes are located.
Room Is Crowded
The commissioners room was so
crowded with people that it was prac-
tically impossible to get either in or
out. People stood on chairs and even
climbed up on the outside to peep
through transoms to get view of the
proceedings. Despite the length of
these sessions they were anything but
tedious and women stood on chair
arms all day to make sarcastic re-
marks about the commissioners.
The afternoon session was especially
spicy and sometimes sensational, as
when Mrs. Wiley j. Phillips accused an
officer of telling an untruth, and an
other woman declared that anyone who
testified in favor of the cafes was paid
to lie. Things also frightened up when
Attorney Earl Rogers asked Rev. Wiley
j. Phillips if he had ever been intoxi-
Gated and showed him newspaper
clipping in which it was stated he was
booked in Oakland July %, 1904, on the
charge of intoxication, while he was
en- route to the National Prohibition
convention as a delegate.
James Sums Up Evidence
In summing up the evidence Commits
sioner James said: II cannot see that
any case has been proven against any
one of these cafes. People have tes-
tilted that they saw women drinking
in these places without meals before
them on the table, but they have not
in a single instance showed that any
woman has secured drink in one of
these cafes without buying a meal.
They walked through the cafes. When
they went through the women seen
drinking might have been waiting for
their meal to be served or might just
have finished eating it.
I'VE got virtuous here one Tuesday
morning and without warning revoked
a mans license. l do not think it would
be right for us to revoke these licenses
when the owners OF the cafes are maxi
ing every effort to comply not only
