WILL LOS ANGELES
BE WIDE OPEN?
QUESTION Is ASKED IN SOME
QUARTERS
Mayor Declares Position of Admins.
tratlon Remains Uncranged-Per-
enniaI Rumors About Grand
Jury Inquiry Revived

Politicians and police officials are again
talking about conditions in the sections
of Los Angeles given to noisy life after
dark.
The application of William Lawrence,
giving his residence as 1091s South Broad
way, for permits to erect two large lodg-
ing house at 4221s Commercial street and
43s Ducommun street have added mystery
to developments that are now only whis-
pered about.
Each building will be one story high
and have thirty rooms. 1t Is stated.
Those close to Mayor Harper say that
the position of the administration has not
changed with reference to the red light
district and that no wide-open places will
be tolerated in Los Angeles.
Liquors are sold in certain places under
government license and other places are
in operation under circumstances into
which, it is said, the grand jury will in
quire.
Rumors current this week will engage
the attention of the police board sharply
as well as those In the inner council of
the administration.

POLICE PREPARED FOR
CROOKS IN CIRCUS WAKE
Detectives of Show Ready to Cooper
ate in Guarding Against Pick
pockets, Thieves and
Counterfeiters

beware of counterfeiters, uick'
uockets and forgers, sneak thieves ano
burglars"
This is the warning which has gone
out from police headquarters. Accord
ing to the police the next few days will
be among the busiest of the year, as
crooks of all descriptions can be ex-
pected in the city in the wake Of the
coming circus.
Each time a circus comes to town
the number of arrests on all charges
increases greatly, while the investiga-
tion of robberies keeps the detectives
busy for weeks.
The majority of the crooks who fol-
low circuses are sneak thieves, with a
fair number of burglars and strong arm
men among them.
These persons generally arrive in
town a few days before the circus and
become acquainted with the residence
section. They spot the likely houses
and lay their plans for robberies.
others travel in the guise of peddlers,
and after gaining entrance to resi-
dence pick up any articles of value
they see.
The pickpockets generally operate in
the crowds on the circus grounds.
Some of them are exceptionally expert
and are seldom caught.
Counterfeiters frequently work in
the wake of circus also, and secret
service officers. as well as the circus
private detectives, are cooperating
with the police.
Forgers, some of them the most dam
gerous of that class, also follow cir
cuses, and business men of the city
have been warned not to cash any
checks unless certain of the identity OF
the persons offering them.

PARIS IS BETTER THAN ITS
REPUTATION, SAYS MINISTER
Or. Arthur s. Phelps Describes Im-
pressions Of Trip to France-Me-
tropoIis the Worlds Most
Beautiful City

At the Central Baptist church last night
DR.. Arthur s. Phelps delivered the second
of his series of sermons on his recent trip
abroad, the topic being France" He said:
"It was on July that our train left
England for the south. We saw only two
American flags, one of these being on
Marie Corelrs house in honor of Mark
Twain, who was her guest.
1T is fascinating to read the signs in
foreign countries. Over bar in Paris
was displayed English spoken here, and
American understood Paris is the most
beautiful city in the world, but not so
evil, 1 think, as is generally believed. Men
whose desire is to see all the wickedneSs
they can find will encounter 1t every
where.
..The first morning we visited the Lou
vre, the largest palace in the world. AT
the head of the stairs stands the statue,
Winged Victory of the best period OF
Greek sculpture.
"a walk through the streets and gardens
of Paris, drive through the Bois de Bou-
1opne. an outlook from Eiffel tower, or the
Arc de Triomphe, visit to the palaces of
Fontainebleau and Versailles, renders the
verdict that Paris is without doubt the
most beautiful city in the world, and at
the same time explains how the guillot'ne
came to be set up where that fountain
plays so merrily, and where between 1893
to 1895 more than $500 persons perished
there on the scaffold.
1--WE remember how Louis XIV set his
troops to fill the great marsh at Versailles
until it became an eminence for his cha
teau. employing $4,000 men daily at the
task which was so unhealthful that the
dead were carried off at night in wagon
loads, and how miles of avenues through
the Ieafy forest were covered with salt
and sugar to look like snow for a pleasant
sleigh ride for Nine. de Maintenon.
"Napoleon's tomb. in the Hotel des In
valides, is a sarcophagus OF porphyry
from Siberia at the bottom of circular
crypt. Behind and above rises high
altar, illumined with light on which hangs
an image of the Savior. Is not this a
mighty sermon in satire? Side by side,
the man who sacrificed himself to human
ity. and the man who sacrificed humanity
to himself?"

Switzerland"

FORGER WANTED
IN EASTERN CITIES
WAS READY TO FLOAT MANY
BAD CHECKS
Arthur L. HadseII, Arrested at the
HoIIenbeck, Secured $4,000 from
Los Angeles Merchants
Three Years Ago

Members of the Los Angeles detective
force are congratulating themselves on
the capture of Arthur l.. Hadsell, the
notorious forger who was arrested while
trying to pass a fictitious check at the
Hollenbeck Saturday night.
Had Hadsell eluded arrest for a week II
Is probable he would have succeeded In
floating thousands of dollars worth of
bogus paper and escaped with the money.
For several years the police of all the
large cities of the country have been on
the watch for this man who, according
to circulars describing him which have
been sent out is one of the most daring
and smooth men of his kind in the
country.
HadselI has been wanted in Los An
geles during the last three years. and
warrants for his arrest have also been
issued in st. Louis, Chicago, PittsburS
Milwaukee and New York. In all those
cities he is said to have cashed fictitious
checks and secured large sums of money
Hadsell's actions in Los Angeles three
years ago still cause the police broken
slumbers. At that time the young man
obtained a position as solicitor for the
Sunset Telephone company. One day he
succeeded in obtaining block of the pay
checks of the company
Two or three days before the regular
monthly pay night of the company, ac-
companied by a well dressed young
woman, he began cashing these pay
checks at stores in the city. In twenty
four hours more than $4,000 worth of the
checks were cashed.
Hadsell fled from Los Angeles but was
arrested in Oakland some time later. He
was brought back to Los Angeles, but
none of those who had cashed the checks
could identify him.
He was released from Jail at the time
but warned not to return to Los Angeles
Since then Hadsell has been heard from
in different parts of the country, but
despite the fact that warrants were issued
for, his arrest in many cities the police
were unable to find him.
Hadsell is a young man of good appear
ance and is well educated. He adapts
himself to circumstances easily.
He is said to have many friends in the
underworld, and it is expected hard
fight will be put up to have him freed
The officers claim to have sufficient evi
dence to convict him of trying to pass g
fictitious check and are confident he will
be given long prison. sentence.

FAKER SEEKS

MAzZININANpA UNDER PRISON
SENTENCE HERE
REACHES SAN FRANCISCO AND
FINDS pUPEs
coekn.v Who Posed as Hindu Priest,
Exposed Repeatedly and Publicly
Denounced Here, Finds
More GuIlibIes

Mazzininanda, the little cockney faker
x,bo for several years succeeded in pull
ing the wool over the eyes of large
following of gullible victims in Los An
eeles. but was firally exposed, arrested,
convicted and driven from his rich har-
vest, is now in San Francisco.
According to stories which have ap-
peared in papers in that city the proved
fraud is hailed as an apostle of great
learning and wisdom. He is spoken of as
the teacher of new philosophy, and in
a long interview tells of the wondrous
deeds he performed in Persia, the coun-
try he says is the place of his birth.
Under a head Learned Swami Comes
to Preach the Buddhist Faith" and
speaks of the "calm gained in eighteen
years in a monastery" long two-column
story appears. In this story Mazzini is
allowed to claim that he is everything
from an Oxford graduate to a priest of
the Buddhist faith.
In it the writer raves over the quiet,
modest appearance" of the distinguished
Individual and the "Rev. Swami DR..
Mazzininanda' is lauded to the skies.
The "Rev. Swami Dr." was sentenced to
pay fine of $3.50 for practicing mediums
ship without license by Police Justice
Chambers in Los Angeles in the early
six months Jail sentence by Police JUS
tice Austin on a similar charge.
Fakers Leave Los Angeles
In numerous instances in this city he
was proven a faker and fraud. In one
case he was kept confined in the city
Jail for nearly five hours, unable to get
the bail necessary to secure his release
The time of his second arrest he was
kept confined for day and night while
a couple of his friends hustled about en-
deavoring to secure the $10O necessary.
After being released the second time
Mazzini Joined forces with the notorious
DR." Hugh R. Moore, also a proved
faker and one who had been drummed
out of several eastern cities for his taking
operations.
In company with Moore, Mazzini pulled
off one or two stunts in Moores home in
EdeDdale, but information of them was
given to the county board of supervisors
and when Moore applied for a license II
was denied him.
Finding that the residents of Los An
geles had become wise to his games
Mazzini decided it was time for him tc
seek greener fields, so he left for Sar
Francisco, leaving a large board bill un-
paid, and opened up new quarters in ar
apartment house at 1854 Eddy street, Sar
Francisco.
Hugh Moore, his companion here, left
Los angeles for that city last night
and 1t is presumed he will join forces
with Mazzini there.
When word was spread among the for.
mer victims of. the two men that they
had left Los Angeles for new pastures
many expressions of thanks were given
while many said they felt sorroy tina
San Francisco had been selected by then
as the place for their swindling opera
