MAYOR TO STOP
WAGE D|SC0uNT|NC
City Employees Get lntimation That
Borrowing on Salaries Must
Cease as Soon as
Possible

Quiet intimations have been dropped
among city hall employees that the prac-
tice of cashing in their pay checks in
advance was bad one and should
cease soon. Trouble is brewing for
those who keep on getting into the
hands of the wage brokers.
Mayor Harper has come to the con-
clusion that selling ones time in ad-
vance does not tend to efficiency in
working for the city. There is nothing
for employees to look forward to at the
end of the month when the salary has
been disposed of in advance. Besides,
intimations have come to the mayor
that much dissipation, sport and do
mestic trouble has resulted for those
who cultivate the favors of the note
shavers.
City Auditor Mushet has discovered
that thousands of dollars every week
are loaned to men in the city hall by
one firm with a pull, and the city at
torney's office Is seeking a way to stop
this loaning. George l.. Arnold is the
man whose firm does most of the bus
mess.
"Get down to business"'i is the mayors s
warning to all city employees. He has
told the heads of departments to exact
good work from the men, whether they
are hiding behind the civil service or
not, and those who do not work hard
may expect an interview with the
mayor personally In the next few weeks.
One warning is all that Mayor Harper
believes in.

JEWELRY REVEALS
NAME OF SUICIDE
Man Who Killed Himself at Ocean
Beach Proves to Be Husband
of Los Angeles
Woman

II was learned yesterday that the un-
identified man who committed suicide
at Ocean Beach, at San Francisco, jan
uary &c was S. II. l.. Baker an English
man whose wife is guest at the Hotel
Westlake, 720 Westlake avenue. At the
time of his death Baker was thought
to have been s. Lupton, but doubt arose
several days after his death and the
mans identity was unknown uptil re-
vealed by his wife through a descrip-
ton of jewelry found on his person,
which she recognized.
Baker was at one time an officer in
the English army and his Jewelry bore
crest, VOLTS head over a crown.
This emblem was embossed on his cuff
buttons and the newspaper accounts
of his death described it, together with
a reference to Bakers alleged desertion
od his wife a few months before. Mrs.
Baker was in Los Angeles at the time
of her husbands death and when she
had concluded that the suicide was her
husband she informed the San Fran
cisco police, sending them a photo
graph She connected the name Lup-
ton, which he had given, with that of
some relatives and this fact, with the
crest, left little doubt as to his identity.
An officer was sent to the coroner's Of
flee and the cuff buttons We're identified
as ndNlnS DeloHSeu lo ner HuSpdHu'
II recognized the crest on the cuff
button" said Mrs. Baker last night.
my poor husband left me a few weeks
ago, saying he was going to Nevada
with party of friends. Later / heard
that he was in San Francisco and then
1 heard nothing more until learned of
his DEATH"
Baker served in South Africa during
his service in the English army and
was an officer. His family is said to be
we'll known In Southern England and
he had small fortune in his own name.
He invested money in Nevada mining
property and when the investments did

Mysterious Woman Calls Upon Man
Accused of Forgery and Revives
Stories of Costly Presents
for Inamorata

Considerable perplexity has been oc-
casioned among the officers at the CEN
trail police station in regard to the
identity Of a mysterious and beautiful
young woman, apparently about 22
years of age, who has been paying fire.
quent visits to j. F. Taylor, the alleged
forger who was arrested in Oakland at
the request Of the local department a
week ago and was brought to Los An
geleS to stand trial.
Taylor was formerly secretary of the
American Novelty Manufacturing COM
pany, 1118 San Pedro street. He is said
to have embezzled more than $4,000
from that firm by means of fictitious
checks. His employers first began to
suspect about a year ago that all was
not right with Taylor's accounts, and
began an investigation Of his books.
Taylor learned of their suspicious and
left the city. A few weeks ago he was
recognized while on the street in Oak
land and word was sent the local de-
partment. Chief of Police Wilson of
the northern city was at once communi-
Gated with and Taylor was arrested.
At that time 1t was hinted that Tay-
lor had taken the money for the pur-
pose of purchasing expensive gifts for
some woman, but Taylor's friends made
haste to deny this. They said if the
young man did take the money he did
1t for the purpose of using 1t to embark
in business for himself.
With the appearance of the young
woman at the police station the old
rumors have again taken life and 1t is
hinted she was the one for whom the
presents were purchased. So far she is
said to have refused to give her name
but simply asked for a permit to see the
imprisoned man.

EXPLOSION INQUEST
RESUMED MONDAY
ATTORNEYS CONSULT ON NEW
EVIDENCE
Victims Have All Made Statements
Which VIII Be introduced as
Testimony at Reconsider
alton of Case

Consultatio regarding the investi-
cation of the evidence to be produced
at the inquest over the victims of the
Cressaty restaurant disaster was held
yesterday morning at the Union
League club between Capt. Fredericks,
district attorney, and Deputy Ed Flem-
ing who represents the state In hand
ling the case.
The evidence secured from the in
jured at the hospitals will be produced
when the inquest is resumed Monday
Blumenthal and Holderman, the gas
men who were in the building at the
time of the disaster, nave rendered
partial statements. Hoderman was
operated on during the week and one
of his legs was amputated at the knee.
His condition from the shock prevent
ed him making much of a statement,
but even he Is unable to explain what
happened.
Blumenthal, it is understood, has
given his deposition to Coroner Lam
terman, but 1t does not contain any
evidence OF material nature. He,
with his assistant, Holderman, had
gone into the pantry of the restaurant
and had proceeded several feet when
the explosion came. That either of
them lighted matches could not have
been possible, it is averred, for one
of their assistants was several feet
behind them and he would have heard
the sound of tie scratching Besides
both men carried electric pocket
flashes.
It Is now thought that explosion
created by sudden draught might have
caused the disaster, especially since
neither Holderman nor Blumenthal
can throw any light on the subject.
Victims Are Improving
The victims of the explosion are
improving slowly, but it is thought
that they will recover unless some
complications set in. 1t is now con-
sidered certain that amputation will
not be necessary in either Miss An
derson's or Miss Haggertys case.
At first it was thought that both girls
would have to go to the operating
table and lose one or both their legs,
but they have improved rapidly in the
last few days.
These girls have been able to
give dispositions, as have others of the
injured, and it was to discuss the evil
dence al hand that District Attorney
Fredericks and Attorney Fleming held
consultation. When the inquest is re-
sumed the state will keep a close
watch and probably the most thorough
investigation of any disaster in this
part Of the country will result.
Nearly a score of witnesses, includ-
ing the documentary evidence, will be
examined at the inquest Monday at
the Bresee parlors. The jurors have
received instructions to report back
at that time and Coroner Lanterman
has sent subpoenas broadcast to in
sure the attende ce oe every one con-
nected with the case. So that there
is little probability of another contin-
uance and verdict may be received
at the close Of Mondays session.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-23
COUNCIL FIGURES
ON MORE MONEY
BILLIARD HALLS MUST PAY
HIGHER LICENSE
Retail Cigar Dealers VIII Be Dealt
with Lightly as a Result of
Arguments Against Inn
posing Tax

Additional measures to increase the
city's revenues will be introduced on
Monday in the city council.
The license of billiard halls will be
increased if possible, and an ordnance
has been drawn up on these lines.
There is movement on foot to in
crease the tax on horse markets. Last
Monday the council fixed a rate of $40
a quarter for horse dealers which even
the councilmen now admit is too small.
Retail cigar dealers have practically
convinced the council that they ought
not to be taxed higher as it will only
| reduce the number of retailers and In
crease the hold of the trust on the
trade. Their argument has been re-
| ceived favorably by the committee OF
the whole which has taken the ques-
tion under advisement.
Mayor Harper and his advisers are
leaving no stone unturned to raise
revenues for the interval from now
until after July when by reason of the
higher annual assessment levied in the
city more money will be at the dis
posal of the authorities.
1t Is agreed now in the council that
the fire bonds will have to wait, as
the Owens river issue has the right
of way. 1t is believed that the under
writer's are now convinced that the
city plans improvements in its fire de-
partment and with that understand
ing no rates will probably be raised
in the next few months. Both Council
men Wren and Blanchard are insurance
men and they know the situation as
to risks in the downtown section.
At Mondays meeting the council
will make its first move toward issuing
the Owens river bonds by adopting a
preliminary resolution Of intention, de-
claring that public necessity requires
the issuance of bonds and that an cleo
ton should be called.
