MAN PLIES BOYS WITH
DRINK JUST FOR FUN
YOUTHS IN PlTIFUL STATE ARE
TAKEN IN BY POLICE
Mother of One Lad Makes a Plea
for Her Son, on Whose Statement
the Man Who Gave Him Liquor Is
Locked Up

A complaint will be issued by the
police today against Lewis Reeve,
charged with giving liquor to minors
with the intent of making them drunk.
Wednesday night two boys. John
Held and Frank Kellogg, were taken
to the police station in a pitiful state
of intoxication and yesterday it was
learned that the boys were not so much
to blame as the man who coaxed them
to drink, If their story is true.
Justice Austin gave the lads a Sc
we're lecture and suspended sentence
on promise of good behavior.
Mrs. Kellogg, mother of Frank, wept
bitterly as she saw her boy in the
prisoners dock and she made a strong
plea to the court to allow her young
son his lierty.
An investigation of the boys charges
against Reeve was made and the police
are convinced that the man deliber-
ately went to work to get the lads drunk
with no apparent reason except a
british desire to see them drunk. He
was arrested on suspicion and is now
in Jail.

Memoirs

Colonel John Sobieski, known as a
temperance lecturer and who is the
rightful heir to the throne of Poland,
has begun the arduous task of rewriting
his book of Personal "reminiscences
and History of Poland
Property to the value of several mil
lions of dollars belonging to Colonel So
bieski, according to his friends, but
this is now the confiscate of the Rus
sian government. The old-time castle
of the kings of Poland and great per-
sonal wealth are the things which the
colonel thinks he ought to have, and
things he will have if Poland is ever
freed from the tyranny OF Russia.
These things are the possibilities;
they might come; but in the meantime
the "old colonel will dictate chapters
of his thrilling adventures and deliver
his lectures on temperance.
Mr.. Sobieski hopes to see the Polish
people free in another year and with
their freedom he will come into his
own.
AT the present time he is residing
with his daughter at 2S07 Brighton ave-
nue., but he will leave this city for the
east within a few days.

STRANGE INVADER
Wealthy MiIwaukeean, Unbalanced by
Religion, Keeps Police Busy by
His Wanderngs About
Places of Worship

William c. Miss furniture dealer
from Milwaukee suspected of being in
sane. was released from detention early
yesterday after spending a night in
jail, but was rearrested last night on
the same charge.
Miss is said to have a religious mania
and when able to leave his lodgings at
Hope and Seventh streets he has had a
habit of wandering into religious gath
erlngs and lifting his voice in eXhorta-
ton.
Yesterday morning he told the police
that he was an invalid and wandered
away from his room while under the
delirium of fever, but when he repeated
the same story last night the desk SER
geant looked very wise and booked him
as insane.
He attended a gathering of German
Lutherans during the early evening at
Eighth and Flower streets, and be-
coming greatly excited at some of the
stirring remarks began to divest him
self of his clothing.
Used Force
Several of the church people rushed
to his side and by force led him into a
side room and summoned the police.
Miss told the officer that he was
afraid that the pastor of the church
would kill him and he was about to
take off his earthly garments in order
to take an upward flight when the
preacher came toward him with knife
to offer him as an acceptable sacrifice
on the altar.
Miss is about As years of age and is
said to be q wealthy business man in
Milwaukee, travelling for his health.
He has a mania for religion and says
he has tried them all.
At one time he believed that he was
the reincarnated Mrs. Eddy, and dur
ing his periodical fits of mania has at
tempted to fly, with disastrous results.
If his friends do not make other ar
rangements, Miss will be taken to the
county hospital and later examined
on charge of insanity.

TAX PROPERTY OWNERS
FOR ELECTR0LlER SERVICE
LIGHTING COMPANIES ASSESS A
TEMPORARY CHARGE
Permanent System Cannot Be In
stalled in Time for Fiesta Week,
but Merchants Can Have Light for
Consideration

If Main and Hill streets are to be
lighted by the ornamental electroliers
Tor Fiesta the property owners on these
TWO streets will have to dig deeper into
their private pockets and pay for the
installation of a temporary lighting sys-
tenn for Fiesta week.
The poles on these two streets are
nearly all in and ready to be connected
up for the lighting but the electric
light companies appeared before the
board of works yesterday and stated
they would not be able to install the
permanent lighting system in time for
Fiesta week. There is a great deal of
work necessary in connection with the
permanent system of lighting while a
temporary system can be put in in a
few days that will answer the purpose
for a short time.
The lighting companies estimated
that it would cost about $10.25 for each
pole for the temporary system. There
are 1874 poles to be connected on Main
street in the temporary plan, although
when completed there will be 154 in the
system. On Hill street there will be
about $50 to connect in the temporary
plan.
Business men on these two streets
have not yet been notified that this
extra expense will be necessary, but
Joseph Mesmer, who is the originator
of the scheme for lighting Main street,
believes that the property owners on
that thoroughfare will not hesitate to
pay the $10.25 pole extra.
A rivalry is likely to be engendered
between Hill and Main street property
owners, and in that case there is little
doubt these two streets will be bril-
liantly Illuminated for the week of
May 7-12.

DEMANDS AFFlDAVITS
FROM ROOM KEEPERS
MAYOR WANTS CORRECT DATA
FOR LICENSE FEES
Suggests That Hotels, Boarding
Houses, ETC.. Be Required to De-
clare Their Receipts Quarterly In
Order to Increase City Revenue

Mayor McAleer is of the opinion that
the hotels and lodging houses Of Los
Angeles are evading the payment of
the just dues to the city and has asked
the city council to amend the license
ordinance in such way as to REQUIRE
an affidavit of quarterly receipts from
proprietors of hotels, boarding houses
and other places of like nature.
Places of this character are required
to have a license, renewable each
quarter, and must pay a share of the
gross receipts into the city treasury.
The mayor cites as an example one of
the largest hotels in the city which
pays a quarterly revenue of but $24. rs
month, based on an income of about
$4,000 quarter. This same hotel pays
$4O0 a month for rent or $4,000 a
quarter, and that is but one item in its
expenses.
The mayors recommendation on this
question is as follows:
Il would respectfully recommend that
section No. A of the license ordinance
of this city be amended by adding:
Before issuing license for such
business the city clerk shall require of
the applicant for such license sworn
affidavit by or on behalf of such appli-
cant the gross quarterly receipts of
such person, firm or corporation from
such business
"This section relates to the business
of conducting, managing or carrying on
of amy hotel, boarding house, apart
ment house, lodging house or of letting
of furnished rooms apartments.

ly increase the revenue of the city to
which it is legitimately entitled

TO TRoT IN SINGLE HARNESS
One Made Two by court-Peeuliar
Testimony offered by Hus-
band and Wife

Grace Amend of this city was yester-
day granted divorce decree from her
husband, Allen S. Amend, and was
given the custody of their two chill
dren.
The case was singular in that the
testimony showed that plaintiff and de-
fendant had lived contentedly until
one day the husband announced that
he was tired" and thought he'd pack
up his clothes and go to some place
where he could make fresh start in
the world without being incumbered
with a wife.
The Amends were then living at
Fruitland on a ranch. After her hus-
band left Mrs. Amend came to the home
of her parents in Los Angeles, where
she has since resided.

Unauthorized Use of Seventh Street
by Depot Line Starts the Ma
chinery of Official Inves-
tieation

Finding streets that have been ap-
propriated by the railway companies
without the little formalty of securing
franchise and paying a trife for
the same, is the task the board of pub
lie works has taken upon it's shoulders
at the request of Mayor McAleer.
The use of Seventh street from
Broadway to Spring by the Los An
geles railway for what it has chosen
to call the depot Line" started the
investigation of the board. The case
was brought to the attention of Mayor
McAleer and through him to the board.
1t is asserted that the Los Angeles
Railway company has no franchise on
Seventh street between these points
and is unlawfully using the street for
its car service.
There is no record of any kind to
show that the railwagShad the right
Ito even lay it's tracks on this street,
8but older membrs of the council re-
S'call that there was a tacit understand
ing between the railway company and
the council that these tracks. could be
laid for some temporary purpose. The
temporary tracks have become perma-
nent ones and a street car line is now
operating on them.
Mayor and Board Confer
Yesterday morning Mayor McAleer
and the board of public works was
closeted for long time in a discus
sion of this case and in the afternoon
the mayor sent the following letter to
the board:
Confirming my conversation with
you this morning relative to a street
railway on. Seventh street between
Spring and Broadway being operated
without a franchise. / desire to request
that you take such steps as will
properly protect the interests of the city
In connection with this street and any
further unlawful use of our streets as
may be discovered"
The board adopted the following
resolutions:
"That the city attorney be requested
to advise the board of public works by
what right, if any. the street railway
on Seventh street between Spring and
Broadway is being operated.
THAT the city attorney be requested
to advise The board of public works
as to whether any railway companies
have located and are maintaining
tracks in any streets other than Sew

Revive Old Case

Revive Old Case
The investigation of the board of
public works will probably revive the
old case of the Los Angeles -Redondo,
which is operating it's lines on the
tracks of the Los Angeles railway with
no franchise of any kind. The fact
has been exploited number of times
but no action has ever been taken on
It,
City officials are aware of other
streets that are being used illegally by
the street railway companies and when
the city attorneys Office begins delv-
ing into the question of franchises it is
expected some hitherto unknown facts
will be brought to light. The resoiu-
tions of the board of public works,
asking for a legal opinion on railways
operating without a franchise, Is the
first question of the kind that has ever
been asked of the city attorney and Is
the first instance in the history of the
city of any bona fide investigation be-
ing begun.

EDITORIAL

The American newspapers, when
commenting on the trip Of President
Roosevelt to Porto Rico. state that it
is the result of recommendation Of
Governor Winthrop.
The Governor believes, according
to the opinion of the press, that the
Presidents visit will be the means
of creating in this Island a greater
degree of sympathy and affection
towards the United States.
We agree with the view of Mr..
Winthrop, that visit from the Chief
Magistrate Of the Nation will tend to
establish between the colony and the
mother country closer relations of
amity and accord.
| It is wise act to send to the colo.
ny the greatest of our tutors, the
most representative and prom inent
individual in American political life.
Up to the present time there has,
apparently, existed among the Anne
rican authorities the belief that any.
thing was good enough for Porto
Rico; there has been held false and
exaggerated opinion of American su-
periority and that any one belonging
to the bureaucracy thu might be sent
to us would produce in the mind of
the colony the liveliest sentiments
OF admiration and enthusiasm.
This was grand error, serious
mistake, from the effects of which
the country has in the first place
been the innocent sufferer and, after
wards, those who des ired that there
should be implanted here greater
sympathy and affection towards the
United States.
In other times, when an opinion
very different from that which is
now beginning to prevail in the mo-
thcr country towards the colony was
entertained, it might have been that
the President would not have de g.
ned to visit us and that Governor
against whom there was feeling of
discomfort and dissatisfaction would
have hesitated to ask him.
But, fortunately for all concerned
things have notably changed. The
President will be now able to visit
Porto Rico under normal conditions
He will not have to listen to We
hement protests, nor witness signs Of
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-11-12

general discomfort, neither will he
be called upon to near censures Of
the conduct Of the high official who
here represents the sovereignty of
the grand Republic of the Norh.
The decision Of President Roose-
welt to visit our shores is proof of
his esteem for the people Of Porto
Rico and compliment to the Island;
the recomln endation Of Governor
Winthrop, which has been instrumen-
tai in his coming, is likewise signal
evidence that our first civil authority
is deeply concerned and interested
in having cordial and afectionate
relations established between the
colony and the mother country.
This is a cause Of conSratulation,
it swakens the liveliest feelings of
satisfaction in the minds Of our peo-
pie who have received this token of
consideration extended by the first
persona9es in the government of the
United States.
The recommendation of MI. Win
throp, and the immediate acting on it
of President Roosevelt, indicate
condition Of things highly satisfsc-
tory to Porto Rico; it shows that the
President of United States and the
Governor of Porto Rico are in peri
ect accord in endeavoring to cement
closer and more codial relations bet.
ween the colony and the mother
country.
From this mutual recognition on the
part Of the high authorities mentio-
which must have powerful ef-
feet on the high powers Of the nat
ion-there is likely 10 be produced
a check on the exploited bureaucracy
which has given abundant evidence
Of its selfish and sordid ambition,
and with this recognition, the coun-
try can likewise look for many be-
nefcial results and entertain the
hope that it will obtain the Justice
for which it has for so long been We
hemently clamoring.
Happy has been the idea OF Mr.
Winthrop and praiseworthy the recep-
ton of it by the Pres lent of the
United Stares. The only thing to be
regretted in connection with it, which
we have referred to in q previous
article, is the brevity of the Presi-
dents sojourn in Porto Rico.
