Chief Kern of the police department
has signified his determination to rid
the city of so-called spirit mediums,
fortune tellers and takers generally of
that variety. He will find ample evi-
dence at hand and he will have the sup
port and encouragement of the whole
city in exerting all the power of his
department in jolting the fakers out of
town. Los Angeles has been peculiarly
overrun by this special brand of fraud
and it is high time that the law take
its course. The Herald has presented
pages of prima facie evidence showing
the fraudulent character of the spirit
mediums and fortune tellers. 1t only
remains for the chief of police and city
prosecutors to do their duty.
