FROM NEW LAWS
Billiards, Livery Autos, Unused OIL
Wells, Visiting Merchants and
Other Sources of Revenue
VIII Be Tapped

With the publication today of num-
ber of revenue-producing ordinances
that have just been signed by the
mayor, the license department of Los
Angeles will gather in quantities Of
shekels.
Immediately on publication new Or
dinances become operative, and doubt
less there will be a score of persons
in the city hall today, check books In
hand, ready to pay their first INSTALL
ment on new licenses.
The new billboard tax becomes eff
fective Immediately. yielding 1 cent per
square foot of space each year.
All unused oil wells hereafter must
pay 81 week as long as the rigging
remains standing and Oil Inspector
Blackmar will see to it that the
license is enforced. He has reports of
all abandoned workings on file In his
office.
Automobiles for hire must hereafter
pay SIS tax quarterly. Owners of these
conveyances get 81 an hour and more
for their use and the council consid-
cred this fact in raising the license.
The old rate was SO per quarter.
Outside merchants who sell goods
from stocks brought to hotels and dis
played there must pay $100 for the first
day hereafter and $25 for each succeed
ing day. Some firms have carried away
thousands of dollars each season by
means Of these special sales, one San
Francisco tailoring firm being rated
with doing a business of 100000 in this
city each season. These men have paid
no license, yet they competed with men
who pay taxes here regularly and hire
salespeople who live here.
Chimney sweeps must pay a monthly
tax of 50 hereafter. This measure was
passed at the request of local sweeps,
who say tramp" sweeps are coming
here and cutting into the business.
Another revenue-producing measure
which has just become operative Is
that for inspecting weights and meas
ures.
Mayor Harper announced when he
went into office that he would do all
he could to raise the money for the
needful expenses for running Los An
geles as a modern city, and he has
had the support of the council in near
ly all cases.
After July, when by reason of the
new and higher assessment the city
treasury will not be so depleted, there
may be a Encouragement Of some
licenses.

BABIES SAVE HOME,
SAYS A WISE JUDGE

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March 21.-Judge Willard
McEwen, who is hearing divorce cases
at the rate of one hundred a month,
delivered himself of these conclusions
today:
That babies are the home savers.
That every well regulated family
should have from three to six babies.
That the divorce age is from 80 to 40.
That childless marriages breed con-
tempt between husband and wife.
That lack of babies induces drunken
ness, desertion and lazinesS.
That "incompatibility of temper"
really means there's another man or
woman in the case.
when a husband and wife agree to
separate nine times out of ten the hus-
band will permit the woman to get the
divorce and she will allege incompati-
biity of temper-back of this nearly
always there is some man or woman
who has broken up their home," said
Judge McEwen.
A table kept by Judge McEwen the
last two months shows the following to
be the causes for DEGREES which he has
granted to the 200 persons who have
appeared before him:

RHYOLITE READY
FOR ALL DEMANDS
Banks at Nevada Mining Center Ex-
peet Heavy Call for Money
When Stock Exchange
Opens
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, March 21.-The
stock market in Nevada mining stocks
seems to have reached the bottom and
Southern Nevada brokers have ordered
all selling orders Cancelled.
Within the past few days the mining
men who are on the ground floor in
the Bullfrog district have been quietly
buying in all properties that the low
prices have thrown on the market.
The Tramp Consolidated, 10000 shares
of which were thrown on the New
Jersey market, has been forced up
point after point from it's lowest ebb
mainly by Rhyolite buying, while the
IIomestake and the Godbar, which
have gone down in sympathy, are feel
ing the rise.
Nevada banks refuse to certify
checks and according to a Goldfield
banker 1t is for the reason that when
a check is once certified 1t is necessary
to keep the amount of money for which
1t calls intact in the vault or violate
the law.
In part he said: 1.-THE effects of
over certification of checks for large
amounts is shown in the present mar
ket. In the last Hartman Morgan
deal in Wall street the method which
Morgan attempted to use against Har-
riman was the Cert1f1catiOn or checks
that run into the millions and the sub
sequent throwing of stocks on the mar
ket, forcing up the value of money.
Banks Are Ready
"The ruse did not work, but in a
mining market like the present it
would be an easy matter to corner
money in Nevada. Our trade is not
continuous Some days there is no call
for money at all. On other days the
demands run into the millions and we
must always be ready to meet them.
with a sudden rise in the value of
stocks there will be calls for money
with which to purchase and If allowed
heavy certified checks to stand out
against us we would have no oppor-
tunity to permit our customers to buy
or on falling market to protect their
holdings.
GAS the present market stands the
Goldfeld troubles and the eastern mar
ket have forced the market down and it
is only the local people who are buy
ing.
THE Rhyolite stock exchange will
be opened within a week and then the
prices on the ground will control the
New Jersey curb and the San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and Philadelphia
markets.
1.-The Nevada banks are ready to
meet the call for money which then is
to be expected"

JUDGE ON THE TRUSTS DUTY
Burden of Finding the Legal Rate
Was on the Defendant.

Burden of Finding the Legal Rate
Was on the Defendant.
Evidence was offered by the govern
ment showing that it was the duty of
the company's officials to see that the
reduced rate was in the hands of the
commerce commission. Touching on
this part of the evidence Judge Lands
in his charge to the jury said:
THE Indictment alleges that the de-
PENDANT accepted a concession know
ingly. To sustain this the government
proofs need not establish that the de-
PENDANT had actual knowledge of the
unlawful rate. 1t was the duty Of the
defendant to diligently endeavor to in
good faith get from the Chicago and
Alton Railway company the lawful
rate by applying to one Of the railroad
companies offices. In making this en-
deavor the defendant is presumed to
have known that the railway COM
pany would be guilty of misdemean-
or if it gave the defendant a rate on
interstate traffic which was not set
down on paper and a copy of the SEIZED
ule filed with the interstate commerce
commission
In regard to the assertion made by
the defense that the Standard Oil COM
pany did not know of the existence of
the tariff on which the indictment was
based Judge Lands said the evidence
submitted by the government went to
show that there was a department in
the Standard Oil company which dealt
with oil lots less than one car load
and that 1t would have been absolutely
necessary for the head of this depart
ment to be familiar with the tariff III
question. The jury was out less than
three hours and reached the verdict on
