POLICE BOARD
REAPP0|NT KERN
Hereafter 1t Will Be Difficult to Get
Badges of Authorty-PatroI
man Bonar Under
Fire

Mayor Harper presided yesterday
over the first meeting of the police
board, and one of it's first acts was to
reappoint Edward Kern as chief of
police.
In political circles it has been gen.
orally conceded that the choice for
the position lay between James Craig
and Kern, and it is positively stated
that in a conference with the mayor
the wishes of Kern were directly con-
suited, he being given the pick of the
chiefship or the position of assistant
inspector of public works under the
board of that name. He preferred the
department badge, and Craig will prob
ably get the other appointment.
The reappaintment yesterday was a
brief and formal proceeding, no COM
ment being made, and the board pass
ing on to the next item of business in
a matter of-fact sort of way. Kern
was present and smiled his thanks.
Fewer Stars viii Shine
The board decided to use greater care
in the distribution of stars hereafter.
All persons wearing special officers
stars will be obliged to first return
them and get new permit. Here
after all applicants must appear be-
fore the board in person.
II want to get a look at each one"
said Mayor Harper, and the other
members said likewise.
Badges will be ordered for the street
department and other city depart
ments, but they will be of somewhat
different design than the police badges
All men who get these department
special badges are subject to call for
duty at any time, including peace pre-
servers in theaters, restaurants, office
buildings and elsewhere. The badges
will not be honorary alone hereafter.
6onar Meets His Delllah
The board is considering charges
preferred against Patrolman p. j.
Bonar. 1t is charged that on the 9Th
he was guilty of conduct unbecoming
an officer, being found in the company
of a notorious woman at 595 South
Spring street by Capt. Auble and Lieut..
Haupt.
"Bonar had been warned that his
association with this woman would get
him into trouble" said Chief Kern,
"and when he was suspended and came
to me asing that he be allowed to quit
1 told him could not do so as charges
had already been preferred"
Bonar will be cited to appear before
the board Tuesday next.
The application for wholesale liquor
license for the Western Winery at 1879
Washington street was brought before
the board. Mayor Harper had listened
to argument on the case at a previous
board meeting under the McAleer ad-
ministration and said he would go out
into the district with Chief Kern to
learn the sentiment for and against
the proposition out that way.

An inch less than three times the

an enviable-or otherwise-reputation
as a rainmaker. A veteran last nlght
declared, "Wollaber is the best wealth
er man we've ever had in these parts,
as far as rain goes" Then, too, other
things are said which do not look so
we'll in print, about the continuation
of rainy weather.
However, Forecaster Wollaber sent
a wireless to old Jupiter Pluvius yes
terday which caused the ancient to
cease his arduous labors long enough
to let the sun shine through at 1880
a. M; but it was not long till the
sprinkling can was again in operation.
The number to whom the optimistic
feature appealed earlier in the year
the fact that the farmers were getting
all the water they needed-even these
optimists are becoming tritie dis
mayed at the continued wet weather,
with more coming right along.
The storm which is keeping one
third of Los Angeles under umbrellas
is central off the northern California
coast. AS long as the storm continues
off the coast Mr.. Wollaber can see no
relief in sight; and, anyway, he would
not prophesy fair weather with
Behymer concert Friday night.
A large storm in the eastern part
of the country has drenched a great
part of that section. The weather is
correspondingly warm-for the east.
At the well-known winter resort,
Denver, the thermometer dropped to
eight degrees below zero yesterday.
In Bismarck the silver thread had fallen
to two below, and Havre led the pro-
cession of cold places with tempera-
ture of twenty below,
The heavy storms in this section,
with their accompanying gusts and
squalls, have interfered to a certain
extent with street car traffic. WASH
outs have put the Wentworth-Pasa
dena line out of commission, but 1t is
expected that these will be remedied
shortly. The Mount Lowe division of
the Pacific Electric road was blocked
by two feet of snow, but has again
resumed operations.
Reports from Santa Barbara show
that the storm did a great deal of
damage In that part of the state.

San Diego Girl Tells
the Police
Meets Well Dressed Young Man In a
Cafe-He Carries Her Purse
for Safety-and
Keeps II

Word has been received at the police
station from San Diego that Miss Caro-
line Selmas, well known and popu-
lar young woman of that city, has re-
ported to the police there that while in
Los Angeles December II she was
robbed of diamonds valued at $25O0 and
SIS in cash.
This is not the first the police have
heard of the matter, as Miss Selmas
reported the theft to them December
II, but at that time stated the diamonds
were valued at $500.
According to the story she told the
detectives she was taking luncheon at
one of the cafes. A well dressed, re-
fined appearing young man entered and
sat down at the table with her. Soon
they began to talk, and had supper to-
gether. Later the young man asked her
TO accompany him on an automobile
ride. She agreed, and during the course
of the ride he persuaded her to allow
him to carry her diamonds and money,
saying she might lose them. When they
returned to the center of the city early
in the morning he said he wished to
purchase cigar. and left the automo-
bile in front of a cigar store. He did
not return, and Miss Selmas was forced
to go home alone.
Three days later she reported the
matter to the police, after swearing
them to secrecy At that time she said
the following articles had been taken:
One solitaire diamond ring, one sap
phire ring set with diamonds, one soli-
taire diamond set in a fancy gold ring,
one three-stone diamond ring, one hoop
ring set with five diamonds, and a
breast pin set with diamonds.
The police have gained no clew to the
identity of the thief.
