Sunday Theater at Aberdeen Arouses

Churches to Action.
Church circles at Aberdeen are
greatly worked up over Sunday per
formantes in the local opera hause.
and a meeting of ministers was held
last night to take steps that it is
hoped will result in stopping the per
formances on the Sabbath. Three
weeks ago company booked to a'H-
pear at the theater did not arrive w
til nearly midnight. and, as it was i'm
possible for it TO remain over Mon
day. the manager of the theater
agreed to allow 1t to give the per
Torrance on Sunday. The theater
was crowded. and long before the
curtain was rung up standing room
only could be obtained. Last Sunday
another performance was given by
company that agreed to remain over
a day, and this has aroused the indig-
nation of the churches
AT the meeting a committee was
appointed to seek legal advice in the
matter. and then the discovery was
made that there is no city ordinance
or state law prohibiting Sunday per-
formances. This came like a shock
to the reverend gentlemen. and they
decided to act as committee of the
whole. wait upon the mayor and ask
him to accompany them to the man
ager of the theater for the purpose
of requesting him to stop future Sun
day performances.
1t has been learned that the man
ager of the theater sought legal adj
vice before he attempted to give the
performances complained about, and,
as there is no law to compel him to
close his place. it is likely that he
will continue the practice unless pub
lie sentiment is aroused to such an
extent that he will be compelled to
heed 1t. The situation is growing in
tereSting and is causing considerable
comment 1t is the first time in
many years that Sunday performances
have been held here.

ASKS BETTER ANCHORAGE
FOR FIRE WALL SYSTEM
BUILDING INSPECTOR GETS SOME
POINTERS FROM NORTH
Extra Wide Streets at Intervals VIII
Serve to Check Spread of ConfIa-
gratlons In Big clties-New ordl-
nance Proposed

]. j. Backus, inspector of buildings.
has returned from San Francisco.
where he has made an inspection of the
resistance of the steel structure build
ings and the concrete and fire walls.
AS result of the inspection made in
San Francisco by the building commits
sion, several changes will be made in
the new building ordinance that was re-
Gently completed before 1t is submitted
to the council.
Mrs. Backus said that Los Angeles
must have better anchorage system
to It's fire walls, but added that the ex-
tension of the fire wall above the roof
of a building was both unnecessary
and dangerous. In several instances In
San Francisco the fire walls that ex-
tended above the roofs of buildings
were wrecked by the earthquake. AS
a result they caved in the roofs to the
buildings that might otherwise have
stood the severe test.
The building of streets $50 feet wide
at intervals of one-half mile will prob
ably be one of the prominent features
In new San Francisco. This, it is hoped,
will act as a check to the progress of
fire should a similar catastrophe oc-
cur anywhere.
Another object is to supplement the
efforts of the fire department should the
water supply be again cut off as was
the case in San Francisco.

INVESTIGATION OF INCINERAToR
OPERATION
Board Finds $1s2s.5o Spent for Labor
Last Month-Total Cost of COL
IeotIng and Burning $452s.5o-onIy
Eighteen on Payroll

Developments in the investigation
that is being made by the board of pub
lie works into the cost of operating the
incinerator may end with startling re-
suits.
Already Gabriel Allen has been cited
to appear before the board and explain
the cause for the expenditure of $1323 so
for labor during April.
The cost for collecting garbage and
incinerating same for the month aggre-
gated $452S.50. When the reports were
read yesterday morning the members
of the board expressed surprise that so
much money had been expended. Only
eighteen men are employed on the
working force.
Another disclosure that has been
made as result of the investigation
is that six men are on the salary list
who it is said by members of the
board were never instructed to be set
to work. Street superintendent Haney
explained that mistake had undoubt-
edly been made, but the board will con-
tinue the investigation and promises
a curtailment of expenses hereafter

SALOON LICENSES I
NOT ASSESSABLE
CITY ATTORNEYS DECISION
ADVERSE TO CITY
BrewerIes Figure consplcuousIy In
Barter Of PrlvIleges--Two Hum
dred Limit for oramshops
May Be Removed

City Attorney Mathews has advised
Tax Collector E. e. johnson that saloon
licenses are not assessable, regardless
of the fact that saloon proprietors ad-
NIT that such documents are worth
from $4,000 to $4,000.
AS a cure for this evil, for such 1t Is
regarded by the city officials, Mr.. John
son has suggested. that the 200 limit be
removed or a much higher license be
established. According to Mr.. John
son the saloon proprietor's highest as
set is his license. This statement is
accepted as proven by the fact that
when a saloon is sold the furniture
brings the least revenue.
From the records In Mr.. Johnson's
office it appears that the breweries fig
ure conspicuously In the barter of sa-
loon licenses. The police commission, 1T
is said, has always expressed a willing
ness to transfer the latter licenses when
sales are made.
A peculiar feature of the issuance of
saloon licenses is that many are made
out In the names Of corpses supposed to
be in several of the cemeteries. That
this is a fact was proven by an effort
to locate about thirtyfive different per-
sons named as proprietors of saloons
in the tax collectors records.

MAINTAIN SEPULvEDA CAMP
Detention Place With Fifty Tents VIII
Be Kept Up as a Pre-
caution

Although as yet no refugee has been
detained at the detention camp at
Sepulveda the camp will be maintained
until it is fully assured that there will
be no occasion for it's use.
The camp is maintained merely as
a precautionary measure and 1t Is not
expected that 1t will be found neces-
sary that it be utilized. Fifty tents
are now standing and the veterans Of
the Spanish-American war will serve
as guards until 1t is seen fit to dis
continue the camp.
About forty persons are fed every
day at Camp Angelus. Many of the
men who came as refugees have re-
turned to San Francisco, where they
will find employment more readily
than they would in Los Angeles.
Fifty of the refugees are selling books
descriptive of the horrors of the earth
quake and the remainder are employed
at odd jobs.

given week ago yesterday at his
beautiful Hollywood home, netted more
that $500 for the San Francisco relief

persons who donated goods to be sold

and also all the ladies who, against
bad weather, fought so bravely to
make financial success of the affair
Mr.. de Longpre thanks, too, the cleo

The organs of the pelvis, like
other internal organs of the body,
are lined by mucous membranes.
These membranes are liable to
catarrh the same as the mucous
membranes in any other part of
the body.
Or it may be brought on by
overwork, by irritating dis
charges and by excesses of vari-
Gus kinds.
When the organs of the pelvis
once become the seat of catarrh
various arrangements ari e
which are called by different
names.
1t is the variety Of symptoms
of pelvic catarrh which cause it
to be mistaken for many other
diseases. Many of the slight head
aches and backaches experienced
daily are merely the external
symptoms of pelvic catarrh.
Local treatment often does not
seem to be of any use.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-06

Some Of the organs are so located as
to be beyond reach.
Peruna is an internal, systemic
remedy.
1t relieves catarrh wherever located
in the human body.
Thousands of cases of pelvic catarrfl
have been relieved by the internal use
of Peruna.
If you suffer from catarrh in any
form try bottle of Peruna-
A bottle or two of Peruna taken in
the beginning of the disease will often
save much expense and suffering.

For number of years requests have
come to me from a multitude of CRATE
full friends urging that Peruna be given
a slight laxative quality. | have been
experimenting with a laxative addition
for quite length of time, and now feel
gratifed to announce to the friends of
Peruna that I have Incorporated such a
quality in the medicine which. in my
opinion, can only enhance its we'll
known beneficial character.

More than four hundred Chinese mer-

San Francisco arrived in Los Angeles
during the past week and settled
among their conutrymen here to await
the time when some definite arrange
ment for their care will be made.
At present they are like the man
without country for they have no
homes, no money and only poor pros
poets for any future relief. Many Of
them lost their passports during the
panic of the fire and earthquake and
are now living in daily fear of the fed
eral officers, who are keeping close
watch for any fugitive Chinese from
the Orient.
AS has been the custom since the
passing of the Chinese exclusion act,
any celestial apprehended in this coun-
try without his passport is promptly
shipped back to China.
With the hospitality characteristic
of their race the local Chinese were
prompt in giving aid to their country
men and at present nearly every little
house of the Los Angeles Chinese
quarter shelters one or more refugees.
