PREACHING AND pRAcTIclNa

Recently, Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller,
Jr., delivered some more or less wise
observations regarding the handical
or riches and the advantages OF pow
city. Commencing on the incident
the esteemed Chicago Chronicle says
1T has become commonplace
thing that the people who preach tho
blessings of poverty most loudly
have small inclination for enjoying
those blessings themselves. Young
MIR. Rockefeller exliortlng his Bible
Glass to shun riches is not n more
incongruous figure that many OF his
contemporaries. except that he has
more money than they have. The
truth Is that 10 sane man ever de.
liberately chose want instead OF n
suillciency. Talk 10 the contrary Is
nonsense even II II comes from the
heir apparent to billion"
Still no Intelligent observer really
believes that the man OF millions
gets rs much real enjoyment and
happiness ont OF tho world as does
the person who has sufficient to
keep tho wolf ut moderate dis.
lance from the front door. Too
much OF the preaching of mon of
the Rockefeller stamp is that their
advice is usually predicated on The
"do,ns-Isay' and not on the "do.as.
Lilo" basls.
If some millionaire with penchant
Tor preaching would read the Saylors
command to the rich young valcr
and follow the unsellish order in.
stead of the rich mans example
such deliveranco would have more
potency.

Attorneys for the Defense.

Lewis Daliffeld, OF counsel to the
ihaw family. was first called into
the case. He engaged Judge w. NJ.
*. Olcott, of the firm OF which for
mer governor Frank S. Black, is a
member. They had hardly been in
the case month when young Thaw,
after an interview in the INcmibs,
dismissed them. He called to his
aid Clifford w. Hartridge, n lawyer
who had been his friend for years.
Now that the trial is approaching
he has called into the case Dolphin
Michael Delmas. one of the mostt
noted criminal lawyers of the West,
who has come on from San Fran
cisco to New York TO take direction
of the trial. Mr.. Delmas has been
quoted as admitting that the Gun

finally settled upon.
Jerome for Prosecution.
District Attorney Jerome will have
personal charge OF the prosecution.
He declared he will introduce only
such Witnesses as are necessary to
prove that Thaw had made threats
against White and the eye witnesses
of the shooting. 1t will be for the
defense, he declares, to introduce
any evidence bearing upon the past
lives OF the principals. If this is
gone into. however, the district at
torney, will offer evidence in rebuttal.
While the presentation of the pros
ecution's case will require only two
or three days, it is expecte.l there
Will be great difficulty in obtaining
a jury and that the trial may con-
tinue over period of four or five
weeks.

II Denver we're imbued with 1t, what a

CITY DEMANDS LICENSE FEE ON

cent his ultimatum to the Los AneeIes-
Pacific demanding that the license fee
on each car operated by that company
In Los Angeles be paid at once or the
courts will be called on to force this
payment.
The street car lines operated bv the
Huntington interests have shown a
willingness to abide by the city ordi-
nances and the Los Angeles railway
company has paid its full quarterly
taxes of $6.25 for each street car on,
Grated here. The other Huntington
lines are making preparations TO pay
their fees.
But the Los Angeles Pacific has re-
fused point-blank to pay the full s6 25
per car, contending that 1t is a rail-
way operating between six cities and
towns, and that under the state law
this license fee must be divided be-
tween these six cities and towns. AS
Los Angeles is the only one of the
six that demands license fee the Los
Angeles-Pacif would find itself re-
quired to pay but one-sixth of the total
amount, IL its contention is right.
This, however. Is denied by City At
torney Mathews. Mr.. Mathews says
the Los Angeles-Pacihc is operating
under a railroad franchise and Is there
fore not a railway.
II the street car company remains
obdurate, as II promises TO do, the

TELLS COLLECTOR
TO GET BUSY
MAYOR WANTS FULL LICENSE
FEES FROM HOTELS
Writes to Tax Official johnson: "Your
Duty In This Connection Is
Plainly Covered by the
Ordinance"

In reply to Tax Collector Johnson g
unable to collect licenses from hotels
and lodging houses because the police
department was negligent in it's duty
Mayor McAleer yesterday answered In
kind and told Mr.. johnson to get busy
and gather in the license fees from
hotels.
The mayors letter Is as follows:
Some time ago you were allowed
additional collectors and inspectors fol-
the purpose of relieving the police
officers of the duty imposed upon them
by the license ordinance, the police de-
partment still rendering you assistance
every day and will continue to do so
You have now, as understand it, five
men, as against one man In 1908, you
receiving the four additional men under
this administration.
II do not understand that the list as
furnished you has been published in
any newspaper, and therefore your
suggestion as to how this matter might
have been handled Is out of order.
Sdesteppng the Law
''If you will take the trouble to figure
the amounts paid by some of our lead
ing hotels 1 believe you will find that
they are not paying even upon the
quarterly gross amount Of their eX-
penses, let alone the gross quarterly
income.
"I am not here to specifically point
out to you who should pay license
and you should not; your duty in this
connection is plainly covered by the
ordinance
"All that I desire is that the revenue
due the city be collected. 1 simply
called your attention to a condition
which existed and which is proven by
the figures you show.
"The police department will render all
possible assistance in furthering the
work of your department"
All Are Negligent
Mayor McAleer is of the opinion that
scarcely a single hotel or lodging house
in Los Angeles is paying it's full share
of the license fee. Each business of
this character must pay certain per
cent on its gross income. Some of those
in charge of the large hotels are the
most fragrant sidesteppers of this
license fee, in the opinion Of the mayor.
They make a false representation of
the amount of business transacted
during the month and pay an assess
ment on this statement, it is charged.
To rectify this the mayor has asked
the council to make 1t compulsory for
each proprietor of hotel or lodging
house to make affidavit before a notary
as to the amount of bushes transacted
each month before license shall be
issued.
The finance committee is considering
his recommendation.
