POP BLANCHARD
Gets RELIGION
Wants Cigarettes Driven Out of the
City and Will Introduce Ordl-
nance Prohibiting Their
Sale Here

"Pop" Blanchard, the venerable coun-
Gilman from the Ninth ward, who, with
the exception of two years vacation,
has held the job since the mind OF
many runneth not to the contrary, has
mounted the reform wagon and is 60
ing to stop the sale Of cigarettes in
Los Angeles. With set jaws and wild
glare in his eye Pop" made this an
nouncement to the committee of the
whole of the city council at its session
yesterday morning.
IT will give the tobacco dealers in
this city time to close out the stocks
they have on hand, but 1 am uttering
fair warning when l say that If they
lay in any more cigarettes they are
liable to find them on their hands with
no legal way to dispose of them, for
am going to introduce an ordinance pro-
hibiting the sale of cigarettes in Los
Angeles
Blanchard has never before shown
indications of developing into a reform
statesman. Usually he has been con-
tent to grab off things that the Ninth
ward wanted and the way he has blar-
neyed the council and the board of
public works out of street lights and
crosswalks and jobs for his constitu-
ents has been written in municipal his
tory, but this is the first time he
has ever come forward as a savior
Ol tue yOulH VI lHe ldIu. Ills COl-
leagues are at q loss to account for his
attitude. To be sure the hirsuteless,
good natured councilman has never
known the solace of the paper pipe.
Once. whisper it gently or the Ninth
will hold up it's hands in holy horror,
Pop" was induced to smoke a cigar
but then he only smoked a little of it
and threw very large butt into the
cuspidor while his usually ruddy face
took on an unwonted pallor and he
swallowed very hard for five uncertain
minutes.
The tobacco dealers feel that Blanch-
ard has become their enemy. Not only
does he propose to reduce their revenue
by cutting off the sale of cigarettes
but, as member of the finance COM
mittee, he was one of the most urgent
in the demand that the tobacconists
pay a high license fee, which was
adopted by the committee yesterday

found, however, that he. could not
make as much money there as he
could in Honolulu, and he therefore
told her that's he must come with him
back to the city. This evidently dis
pleased the woman, for yesterday
morning she disappeared, and her hus-
band has not been able to locate her

Judge OBren said that the committee will
probably meet early next week TO elect a chair
man and commence business anew.
Union Square" he said, offers excellent
location for a temple of justice, not only be-
cause of the beauty OF the park, but because 1t
is so convenient to the subway and to the Third

the courthouse on washington Square South
