NO COMPROMISE
IS THE SLOGAN
ANTI-SAL00NISTS TAKE A FIRM
STAND
Set Of Res Iutions Adopted at Meeting
Condemn High License and
say II Allows Liquor Traffic
Firm Hold

The sale of liquor as q beverage was
most heartily condemned last evening
at the meeting of the state Anti-Saloon
league, which was held at the First
Methodist church.
The following resolutions were unani-
-nously adopted by the convention:
1--WE approve without qualification
the declarations of the national con-
vention of the Anti-Saloon league that
the beverage liquor traffic must be re-
garded and dealt with as crime, and
that all systems of license are protec-
tior for the saloon, and the higher the
license the greater hold it gives the
traffic. We are opposed to all license
of whatever grade and all substitutes
therefor, such as the dispensary sys-
tenn, etc.
I'VE also approve of the declaration
of the no-saloon people of Los Angeles
city, numerously signed and published
during the recent campaign here, that
the only effective way of dealing with
the saloon is to suppress It,
1--WE rejoice at the great advance of
anti-saloon sentiment as revealed in
the increased majorities against license
throughout the county. In 1902 the vote
for all precincts outside of cities was
2593 against license and in 1904 it was
1884 With such a large proportion of
the people against the saloon we should
elect to office only such men as are in
fullest sympathy with the anti-saloon
movement

"The schooner" yelled the deputies.
Reseuers Charge Their Carfare
Down through the narrow streets and
alleyways,N taking advantage of the
slightest protection in order to be in
under cover in case of sudden attack,
the deputies marched. Then they were
told to spread out, and Hutchinson was
sent ahead.
With the silence of those about to
meet their DOOM the deputies marched
toward the schooner.

sheriff.

Then the deputies charged their car

hurried to the schooner.
Five hundred people gathered about
the schooner, and the Redondo steamed
in and towed the big vessel out.
One Boy Is Injured
1t is credibly reported that if the
stevedores had have been able to get
five cannon. at the wharf there would
have been a great riot and the death
list would have approximately amount
ed to somewhere near twenty-three
killed and thirteen scared to death.
Following the time when the battle
should have occurred Sheriff White
made an investigation of the reports
from San Pedro. He learned that dur
ing the night four shots had been fired
and that some pebbles had been thrown
on the deck of the Redondo.
Later when the people began to think
how bad it might have been if the
stevedores had started fight with the
sailors and the sailors had fought back
they became alarmed and sent for the
sheriff
The fatalities were one injured, a lad
of about 13 years of age, who ran a
silver in his foot while trying to climb

deputies for the city.

LICENSE CASE
POLICE COMMISSION REFUSES
PERMIT
Residents of Vernon District Succeed
in Preventing William N. Schmess
From Selling Liquor in That
Neighborhood

Mayor McAleer and the police COM
the Vernon district last evening by re"
fusing the request of William N.
Schmess for a wholesale liquor license
for 5722 Central avenue.
At least 100 persons, most of whom
lived a long way from the proposed
wholesale liquor store, were present to
protest against the granting of the
license and their protests were needed
by the commission.
/ The members of the Vernon Improve
r,ent association were the principal
1rptestants. President I. S. Smith of
the association presented numerously
signed protest and told the commission
that while there was a liquor store near
Thirty eighth street and Central ave-
nue., the residents of the locality would
be very glad to get rid of 1t, and they
certainly did not want another liquor
store anywhere in the district
Hoots Annoy Mayor
Attorney Robert Todd appeared on
behalf of Schmess and pointed out tc
the commission that most of the pro-
testants lived many blocks from the
proposed liQuor store, while business
men in the neighborhood were in favor
of it.
]. P. Brickmeier. a member Of the
Vernon Improvement association, here
interrupted Attorney Todd and asked
all who lived in the immediate vicinity
of the location and were opposed to II
to hold up their hands. Ten or twelve
hands went away up in the air
Brockmeier then suggested that Attor'
ney Todd might use the same means tt
find out those who favored it.
Todd explained that the business meT
who were in favor of the liquor store
were all busy men and unable to ap
pear at the meeting. This assertion
was greeted with boots and catcalli
that brought an ominous frown to thu
placid brow of Mayor McAleer
Amy more of that kind of conduc
and the commission will grant the pc
tition without further protest. sait
Mayor McAleer and this threat pro

DEAF BOY NEARLY
KILLED BY A CAR
LIES IN HOSPITAL ALL DAY,
Unidentified
Suffers Two Fractures in Skull, Broken
Collar Bone and Other Injuries
Which May Prove
Fatal

While on his way to school for the
deaf, located at Eighth and Grand, of
which he was a pupil, Le7is Peterson,
aged TO- was run down by traction car
1S4 of the University line yesterday
morning and received injuries which
may result fatally. The lad left his
home at 1176 East Thirty-fourth street
yesterday morning and started to go to
school, He rode a woman's bicycle.
On Figueroa near Eleventh street as
he was going north, he attempted to
cross in front of the University car
with the result that he was rum into,
his bicycle reduced to wreckage and
himself severely injured.
Immediately after the accident the
boy was taken into grocery store and
was later removed to the Nurses home
at 1885 South Figueroa. There he lay all
daS yesterday, and as his injuries were
of such nature as to preclude any
possibility of his talking, his identity
was not learned until late last evening.
lie was then removed to the home
of his father, Charles H. Peterson.
Could Not Hear
1t is believed by witnesses to the ac-
cident who told OF II that the boy
acted as il he was not aware that
there was a car behind him and this
theory is upheld by the fact that he is
almost completely deaf. About year
ago the lad suffered from spinal men-
ingitls which left him deaf
DR.. p. r. Macarthur was called to
attend the youth and stated that while
the injuries were most severe. there
was about an equal chance for the
lads recovery. DR.. Macarthur said the
injuries consisted of two fractures to
the skull one high up on the left side
of the head and the other just above
the right ear. The right fracture
caused a severe hemorrhage of the
brain The right collar bone was also
fractured and several minor bruises
were found on his body and legs.
Late last evening Mrs Peterson. the
boys mother. said that his condition
was much improved and that he was
much stronger. He had not yet re-
covered sufficiently to tell how the ac-
cident happened and owing to his dazec
condition had said very little in regard
TO IT, The hemorrhage from the frac-
ture above his right ear was still caus-
ing a fiow of blood but 1t was believed
/ that II would cease soon.
The boy had been a pupil at the
school for the deaf and dumb at Crane
and Eighth streets and was one of th'
brightest In the school,

NEWS OF FIERCE RIOT SCARES
SAN PEDRANS
sherifrs Men Hurry to Seaport to
Participate In Bloody Battle With
Desperate stevedores and
Sailors

Four blank cartridges discharged pro-
miscuously in the neighborhood of San
Pedro early Tuesday morning. six
moonstones and one piece OF abalone
thrown at the tug Redondo and an ex-
cited message over the long distance
wire between Los Angeles and the little
seaport yesterday afternoon caused
Sheriff White and eleven deputies to
dash mady to San Pedro in the hope
Of being able to participate IN one of
the worst battles OF modern times.
1t was a bright, sunshiny morning
and the little boats were fitting about
the San Pedro harbor looking for shell
fish and the Los Angeles river bed
franchise when the riot was scheduled
to have begun.
First the Coronado. a lumber schooner.
began to get up steam as though about
to start and then someone fired four
shots and the battle was on.
For the past few days the schooner
had been tied to the docks while the
stevedores refused to unload the vessel
because 1t was not a member of the
union.
Sailors Grow Thirsty
Then4he sailors got wrathy and also
struck End then the mighty tug Re-
dondo Was sent for to drag the lumber
schooner out of trouble.
The tug showed up during Monday
evening and slipped up along side the
schooner. The stevedores were very
thirsty and as all the saloons were
closed they hurried toward the only
schooner in the harbor which happened
to be the Coronado.
Then they saw the Redondo about to
tow out the Coronado and the steve
dores demonstrated with the captain
and just to show him that they were
good fellows they cut the string and
the Redondo washed out into the har-
Dor. Then somebody fired four shots
and few pebbles were thrown at the
schooner and the battle was on.
How . the frightened people man
aged to get to n telephone by
yesterday noon has not vet been de-
termined, but they reached it somehow
and word was sent to Sheriff White to
hasten to the beach and save the inno-
cent men, women and children who
were about to become victims of the
awful disaster
Officers Run in Relays
It was just noon hour when the re-
port reached the sheriff's office. Deputy
Len Cleveland was nearest the phone
when the bell began to tinkle violently
and Len dashed for it.
For the sake of the sweet cause of
Associated Carities come to our res
cue" squawked a female voice over
the phone and Len yelled for details.
I'VE are hiding in the jungles near
Wilmington and we fear. come to our

fired" cried the voice. and Cleveland
shouted the request to Sheriff White.

door. Then he remembered that he
was about to forget something and he
went back and got four stogies. Dep
