The cathedral church OF No;re
Dame is almost as closely connected
with the history of the French people
as is the Abbey OF Westminster with
that of the English. The gray.whlte
building with its feet nearly washed

grand pageants and lurid tragedies
such as even Victor Hugo could not
write.

LITTLE BOYS BEFORE JURY
Youngsters Are Charged with Stealing
for Benefit of Older
Youths

Sam Robinson, rosy checked boy Of
- years or age, and Paul Cink, curly
headed youngster IL years old, were
before Police Justice Chambers charged
with petty larceny yesterday afternoon
and were held to appear before Judge
Wilbur of the Juvenile court.
The youngsters are said to have been
the tools of older boys who compelled
them to steal. One boy who is said
to have made them steal is at present
serving a term In the detention home.
They are said to recently have broken
into the barn of Mrs. Cora Carter ON
Thirty-first street, and stolen eight val
liable pigeons. These they sold or gave
away. They confessed taking them
and also a number Of sacks and chick
ems from other places.

More Street Cars Needed

Los Angeles is growing so rapidly
that we simply cannot get street cars
fast enough to give the people proper
service" Such was the confession of
a railway official the other day. The
wonderful increase in permanent popu-
lation with the thousands of visitors in
the city has taxed the street car serv-
ice to the limit, and there are hours
in the day when scores of people have
to wait on corners for the next car,
only to find it filled to the steps. Cars
going in every direction, morning, noon
and evening, are so densely packed
that it is with difficulty that the con-
ductors make collections, often failing
to get fares. Extra cars were recently
placed on Grand avenue, Main street,
full sized cars in Hooper avenue and
other lines, and still but little relief
is noticed.
The only way to relieve the situation
is to organize a company in Los Ange-
les for the manufacture of street cars.
The proposition is now being seriously
considered by railway and other inter-
ests.

SALOON INCREASE
IS POSTPONED
ROYAL ARCH DIVIDED OVER
PROPOSITION
Breweries Oppose Increasing Number
of Dramshops to 800 as Liz
cense Quotations Would
Then Drop

Developments last night showed that
the breWeries had come out squarely
against the proposed increase of sa-
looms in Los Angeles, and unless there
is a change of sentiment no effort will
be made today in the councileto give
the Pacific coast metropolis 300 instead
of 200 saloons
The argument which shifted the
plans was that licenses are worth
$4,000 now, and their value would be
deprecated two-thirds if an increase
was made in the number of drinking
places.
Such at least is the story that is go
ing the rounds.
There is a division of sentiment in
the Royal Arch, the benevolent organi-
zation of the liquor dealers as to
whether more saloons are really desir-
able, and this doubtless cut some figure
with the influences that are stirring up
the outgoing city council to rush
through all kinds of legislation.
Flaw in Ordinance
Because of this railroading it appears
that some technical flaws crept into
the ordinance passed Monday, which
enlarges the privileges of wholesale
dealers, giving them the right to sell
pint bottles in original packages,
whereas a quart was the former mini
mum limit
The Royal Arch moved so cautiously
in the legislation of Monday that only
few minutes before the meeting was
the news permitted to filter out that the
liquor men had two important meas
ures up their sleeves.
