c~hamberiaIn,s Cough Remedy the
Best Made.

Best Made.
I'm my opinion Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy Is the best made for
colds" says Mrs. Cora Walker of Por
terville, Calf. There is no doubt
about It's being the best. No other
cure will cure a cold SO quickly. No
other is SO sure a preventive of pneu
monia. No other is so pleasant and
safe to take. These are good reasons
why It should be preferred to n 9th
er. The fact is that few people are
satisfied with any other after having
once used this remedy. For sale by

GIVE POLICE BAD TIPS
Cranks of Friends of Fred Cook, the
Murderer. Spread False
Rumors

Someone, who claimed to be "a prom
inent laboring man of the city," but
would not give his name, telephoned to
the chief of police yesterday afternoon
saying that he had seen Fred Cook, the
wife murderer, lat the Lankershim
hotel. He said he was attracted at
first by the mans peculiar actions and
to satisfy his curiosity fiShed out piece
of paper which the alleged Cook had
thrown into a cuspidor. On this slip of
paper the mysterious informant said
he read a message that revealed the
identity of the man.
Although the story bore all the ear
marks of a fanatics tale, the chief sent
an officer to investigate the matter, but
no evidence of any kind was found to
confirm the report.
The police believe that these fire.
quently circulated stories about Cooks
appearance in different localities are
either the planned deceptions of his
friends who are endeavoring to mis-
lead the police or that they originate
from some crank.
While they admit they do not know
where Cook Is at the present time, the
police say, they know for certainty
that he is not in the vicinity of Los
Angeles, for they say so rigorous a
search has been made for him since his
disappearance that it would be almost
an impossibility for him to remain near
here without being apprehended.

C0NFESSES STEALING
UNDER OFFICERS NOSE
BOY ADMITS RIFLING THE CASH
REGISTER
officer Craig and Proprietor of Barber
Shop So Engrossed in Game of
Cards That They Fall to Hear
Gentle Tinke as Cash Disappears

While Officer Craig and John Eddy
who owns barber shop at 1908 South
Washington street, were engaged in
playing a game of cards yesterday aft
ernoon in the rear of the barber shop
a sneak thief entered slyly by the front
door and emptied the cash register OF
SIS in cash.
The theft was not discovered until
the players had finished their game
when the proprietor of the barber shop
by chance opened the cash register
drawer and emitted a howl of anguish
when he saw that the money had been
taken.
At first he thought joke had been
played upon him by the officer, but he
was not long in finding that the loss
was a grim reality.
Harry Tucker, a young man who
lives near Twenty-fourth street and
Messalla avenue, had been seen to enter
the shop by Officer Craig during the
game, but no notice had been taken of
him. Atonce it dawned on the police
man that the boy was possibly the
robber.
He Immediately made a search of the
neigh borhood and soon found the young
man in the Pacific skating rink at
Washington street and Burlington ave-
having stolen the money. At first he
vigorously denied the charge, but final
ly, after the officer had told him he
would be placed in Jail on suspicion
anyway, the young man confessed and
produced 50 that remained of the SIS
Tucker is said by officer Craig to be
a notoriously bad boy and is the per-
petrator of most of the mischief in the
in which he lives.
Many complaints have recently been
made by patrons of the Pacific rink to
the effect that they have lost articles.
These thefts are thought by the police
to have been committed by Tucker also,
as he is frequent visitor to the rink
and has on several occasions been seen
leaving with alleged stolen articles,
Tucker was placed under arrest by
officer Craig and taken to the Central
police station.

'T am in this fight to win," said
Wiley j. Phillips, nominee for mayor
on the Prohibition municipal ticket,
last evening.
II was asked by prominent citizen
before my nomination IL 1 would ac-
cept the nomination for mayor on the
Democratic ticket" said Mr.. Phillips.
II answered him firmly in the mega
tive, and that 1 would stand by the
Prohibition party first and all the time,
but that If 1 should be nominated
by my party on the regular Prohibition
ticket then I had no objection to being
indorsed by other parties for the good
of the Prohibition cause espouse from
top to bottom.
II thing that I shall poll a heavy
vote outside of the temperance and
Prohibition people. hear expressions
to that effect among the citizens.
My record is well known regarding
my stand in abolishing the crying evils
Of the city and the upholding of the
law. My principle is to obey the law,
but If 1t is not good, to have it changed
for the bettement of the people, but
to obey the law at all hazards.
My canvas will be among the bet
ter element of Los Angeles; that class
that puts character and manhood above
dollars and cents, not to depreciate
the financial attainmehts required in
the accomplishment of the good of the
cause.
I think that this city could be placed
on a much higher basis of social, moral
and business relation.

PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTOR
FINDS STREETS DUSTY

FORCE
While Hot Weather Threatens Water
Shortage Hanley Says in Two
Months There VIII Be Too Much
Water, but It viii Be Cared For

James Hanley, inspector of works
passed yesterday morning in making
an inspection of the city's streets.
He returned to the city hall at noon
to make the assertion that while Los
Angeles thoroughfares were exceeding
ly dusty, the dust evil was not as bad
as he feared 1t would be before he
began his inspection
THE people are showing great pa
tience," he said, land we are doing the
best we can for them. We now have
approximately los sprinklers in service.
Ten days ago we had to reduce the
force from 115 to 100 sprinklers, be-
cause the water department refused to
let us have the water. Since that time
and with the breaking up of the hot
weather 1 have been gradually in
creasing the number, sneaking them
in, you know, because we need sprink-
ling so greatly. All sections of the
city are suffering about equally l
am not giving any one quarter a
bit the advantage over any of the
others and l am not going to. Every
part of Los Angeles is entitled to its
share of the sprinkling and the board
of public works shows no favoritism.
Now it is a question of water. In
a couple of months we shall have too

take care of the winter floods. We
shall be in much better condition to
take care of the heavy rainfall than
In past years. We are not doing any
better than we should and the streets
are not in any better condition than
they should be, but we are doing our
best. 1 have given ordes to all the
ward foremen that before the first rain
shall expect their districts to be in
flrst-class order. Cutters and culverts
have been cleaned new crossings put
in where old ones were worn out, a
number of streets have been oiled and
the end is not yet.
THE completion Of several of the
new drains will also give rise to much
better conditions than heretofore. This
will be true in the part of the city be-
tween Main street and the river. The
Alameda and Sixth street drains are
now ready for service and they are
large enough to carry off ali the sur
plus water that may fall"
