BILLBOARD MEN
YIELD TO TAX
Only Varney 6 Green Defy City in Its
Efforts to Collect License Fee
for Display on Fences and
DeadWaIIs

Though the work of the billboard in
spector's department is temporarily tied
up through the Injunction obtained by
Varney q Green in their efforts to de-
feat the city from collecting a tax of
one cent per square foot per year on
bill boards, city officials look for an
early decision on this case.
This firm stands alone in it's fight on
the tax The Los Angeles Realty Sign
company. which at first joined with the
San Francisco firm of bill posters, has
announced that it will be glad to abide
by the local law and is now filing it's
applications for board sites as the law
provides All such filings get a hear
of police commissioners where pro-
testors can state their grievances If
they have any.
number of the users OF billboard
space in Los Angeles have refused to
renew their contracts with Varney &
Green and have sent letters to the Out
door Art league officers, saying they
are in sympathy with the art move
ment in Los Angeles which not only
imposes small tax on these boards
but restricts their height and locations
as much as possible.
Inspector Allen says he has so far
found but one fault with the new law.
He favors raising the billboards two
high above weeds the police can see
what is going on behind the boards,
can check the dumping of rubbish there
and prevent the commission of NUS
ances which offend the eyes of those
residents whose windows open toward
the vacant ground behind the bill
boards.

LABOR AGENTS UNITE
TO FIGHT CROWLEY

Employment agencies in the vicinity Of
Second and Los Angeles streets are near
ing the insurrectiou point because Crow
leys labor agency continues to do busi-
ness without paying license, despite the
order of the police board revoking Crow
ley,s permit and the daily arrests by the
police.
Crowley Is the Second street labor agent
against whom numerous complaints have
been lodged by victims at police head
quarters. He never permits but one APP
plicant at a time to approach the contract
clerk, always has more than one OF his
employees there to serve as court witnesses
If need be- and necessarily legal cases are
hard to make against the man.
The italian consul here recently brought
Crowley around with a sharp turn when
the latter sent half dozen italians to
San Diego where they found themselves
stranded.
Other labor agents say that Crowley's
methods have hurt the business of all the
agencies. and they want to see his place
closed up tightly They threaten to refuse
to pay their license at the end of the
month.
Some weeks ago Crowley tried to get a
new agency permit for one of his en-
ployes and to run it under the latter's
name, but the police commissioners de-
tected the game and refused to take
favorable action.

ANALYSIS WILL
DECIDE HIS FATE
HARDIN MAY BE ACCUSED OF
MURDER
Kentucky Visitor, Afflicted with Ma
mia for Poetry, Disappears After
SWeetheart's Death Until
Police Find Him

On an analysis of City Chemist Miller
depends r. H. Hardin's liberty on a
charge of murder, for at present the Ken
tuckian is being held by the police on sus-
picton, pending postmortem examination
of the body of Miss Olga Miller, his sweet
heart, who died at the county hospital
under suspicious circumstances, following
visit of Hardins.
The two had been living at the Hotel
Royal, Fourth and Main streets as man
and wife for some time. Last week Miss
Miller became ill, and after watching at
her bedside all Friday night Hardin sent
her to the county hospital Saturday morn
ing. He visited her daily, and Tuesday
asked the nurse whether he might give the
patient some milk. Permission was given,
and he went for milk.
When he returned, according to another
patient, the woman exclaimed a won't
drink IT,, to which Hardin is said to have
replied, You must!"
The woman became worse and died
Tuesday at o'clock. Hardin left imme-
diately after giving her the milk, and was
not located until yesterday, when he was
captured and taken to the police station,
pending the autopsy today.
Hardin has been in California for several
months. His business is selling architec-
fural fIl books: but when he came to the
Pacific coast he found that three agents
had preceded him and there was no de-
mand for his works.
Hardin's Poet
Hardin is possessed of the poetic tenn
permanent to marked degree. One of his
pet hobbies Is a wonderful book of travel
which he says he will publish in year or
two If he can find publisher This
volume is made up of poems which the
author has been inspired to write when
visiting famous places all over the United
states and Is already most voluminous
AS specimen of his work the following
lines, scribbled while the Kenruckian was
visiting Lucky Baldwins ranch, make a
fair sample:
A pretty maid stood just inside the fence
on Baldwin's ranch.
SAID L: 'Old boy, compose yourself for
here's stunning chance"
did. Then asked her for a bud, 'twixt
coffing and ka a-hem-in,
she nodded yes, then from the tree she
handed me a lemon
Like other poets Hardin found that the !
muse did not pay the board bills and as
he desired to complete the book he needed |
more money. Accordingly he evolved a |
dream that looked roseate. With his last
s15 he rented great sign at Ocean Park, |
l2x26 in size, and had painted the following
startling offer:
Who's Gamer
''Will some lady or gentleman who has
more than enough money to keep them |
during their natural life please give me |
$1,000 to finish trip of touring the United |
States for a purpose? Address p O. box
3, Los Angeles CAL
This remarkable sign has attracted |
much attention at the seaside resort 1t |
Is not known whether or not anyone re-
sponded to the request.

SPECIAL DELIVERY STAMPS Z
WILL SOON BE USELESS

After July special delivery stamps
will be no more. Except for the phi
latelist who cherishes them In some
musty stamp album, the long blue
stamps will become obsolete. Post
master Flint has received an order
stating that nc more will be issued
after that date. Any ten cent stamp,
or stamps to that amount placed on an
envelope in addition to the regular
postage will entitle the letter to special
handling, provided the sender marks
the envelope with the words, special
delivery"
Inspector Frank Stewart of San
Francisco has been in Los Angeles in
vestigating the need Of this city for
additional letter carriers and the ex-
tension of the free delivery territory.
He will complete and forward his re-
port to Washington within the next
two or three days. The report is ex-
pected to be favorable.
Postmaster Flint has been requested
by the department to investigate the
advisability of establishing an ad-
dition rural free delivery which will
handle part of the badly congested
