BAPTISTS MAKE MOVE FOR
BETTER ACQUAINTANCE

"a Baptist acquaintance sociaP' will
be given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. M. Dickson, 1914 Kellam street,
Angeleno Heights, next Tuesday night.
A prominent Baptist leader has the
following to say of the prospects of the
Baptist denomination in the northwest
ern section of Los Angeles:
"In the northwest section of the city
there are residing more than 100 MEM
bers of Baptist churches or persons af-
filiated in their interests or early asso-
Citations with them. There is no Baptist
church in the entire section lying north
west of Broadway to the city limits
It is thought that at some date, not
necessarily, in the immediate future
such an organization should be formed
"a brief address will be given at the
social by Rev. II. w. Reynolds, the new
superintendent of Baptist city missions
There will be music and light refresh
ments. Members of Baptist churches
and their friends, and persons affiliated
with Baptist interests, are cordially in
vited. The Angeleno Heights cars pass
the corner of Kellam street. the Tenn
pie street and Belt line cars pass Edge

WOULD FREEZE OUT
SMALL POOL ROOMS
BANDED BILLIARDISTS ASK
FOR HIGHER LICENSE
one-TabIe establishments, They Say,
Are Merely Gambling Joints
and lniure Legitimate
Places

Col Thomas Thornton addressed the
finance committee of the city council
yesterday, urging that the licenses on
pool rooms be rearranged in order to
reduce the number of alleged pool
rooms which merely cover up crap
shooting and gambling conducted at
these one-table establishments.
Col. Thornton represents the pool
mems organization, which is seeking to
put the business on higher plane and
freeze out those which bring bad repute
on all.
The association believes that by max
ing the license $40 a month, minimum,
which will cover as many as five tables,
and $1.50 per month for each table in
excess of that, the city will get larger
revenue and the small-fry places will
be put out in the cold.
The speaker showed that one table
could earn only $1.75 to So day, which
shows on it's face that a place could
not pay a profit on one or even two ta-
bles after rent was deducted.
The present rate is $3.50 month for
each four tables and $3.50 for each sub
sequent table,

TAKES LONG LEAP;
ESCAPES DEATH
Hotel Guest Jumps from Third-Story
Window While Suffering Tenn
porary Insanity = Not

Fearing that enemies were pursuing
him and meant to take his life, George
Roth, an iron worker who recently ar
rived in Los Angeles, sprang from the
third story of the Greater Los Angeles
hotel early yesterday morning, but,
despite the fact that he landed on the
asphalt sidewalk, escaped with only a
few slight bruises.
Roth arrived in Los Angeles from
Grafton. O., five months ago. He came
to Southern California for the benefit of
his health. About three weeks after his
arrival in Los Angeles the man was
taken to the receiving hospital and was
said to be suffering from temporary in
sanity. After being examined he was
discharged.
At the receiving hospital it was
learned Roth had an account of $3.50
with a local bank. The man is said to
be afflicted with the belief that enemies
are pursuing him and is constantly
making efforts to get away from them.

VIII Recommend That Service

The council committee of the whole
decided yesterday to recommend to the
city council regulation of the messen-

licenses and to make application before
the board of police commissioners be-
fore they can do business.
The statement was made that young
men come down here from San Fran
cisco and at once make for the messen-
ger offices, and most of the fellows do
not bring a certificate of character.
There has been a great deal of COM
plant at police headquarters concern
ing messengers on wheels who ride at
breakneck speed.
Much of their business has been in
the red light district, amid associations
that pollute the younger element among
them. Some of the hardened members
teach the younger ones to smoke opium
and become addicted to other vices.
For the present mild remedies will be
tried, though later some of the Offend
ers may be penalized if they do not
mend their ways.

BR|BE TENDER IS
GIVEN SENTENCE
MUST GO TO PENlTENTIARY Y
FOR TWO YEARS
Motion for New Trial Denied by Judge
Smith-TWenty Dollars Was
Sum Offered by Con-
victed Man

For having offered a policeman a
bribe of 500 William H. Mellone was
sentenced to serve two years in San
Quentin prison yesterday by Judge
Smith in the superior court. Mellone
was convicted Tuesday on the charge OF
bribery.
On April 20 he was seen by two Of
ficers to hand the money to Policeman
A. L. Mumford, whom he had met by a
prior engagement. He had on two
previous occasions attempted to pay the
money, but the officer, on instruction OF
his superior officers, had steadfastly re-
fused to accept it until there could be
witnesses to the transaction.
The sum was to be used as hush
money in the case of Ada Neal, whom
Mumford had arrested and who the
police say had been hugging strange
men on the street and robbing them of
their valuables. Mellone, who was a
friend of the girls, had heard that there
was to be a charge of grand larceny
preferred against her, and in considera-
tion of the 500 Mumford was to pretend
to know nothing of the case.
In the trial Mellone took the stand in
his own defense and swore that he had
given Mumford the money to pay the
girls fine and had no intention of
bribery.
In passing sentence Judge Smith said:
1.-THE crime for which you have been
convicted is one that attacks the vitals
of our whole system of government.
The use of money in such instances is
pernicious and intolerable and one
for which there can be no excuse.
"It makes no difference whether the
girl was never tried on the charge that
you expected would be brought against
her; that has nothing whatever to do
with the fact that you sought to bribe
an officer and so prevent him from per-
forming his duty
A motion for a new trial was denied,
the contention by the counsel for the
defense that Mellone's offense did not
constitute bribery under the law being
overruled.

HERO WITH DEWEY
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
CUTS HIS WRIST IN A FIT OF
DESPONDENCY
Veteran Man-of-Warsman Pleads to
Be Allowed to Die While Physi-
clans Are Working
over Him

Phillip Gavin, a veteran sailor of the
Spanish-American war, was taken to
the receiving hospital shortly before
o'clock yesterday, nearly dead from tne
loss of blood from cut in his left
wrist.
Gavin says he tried to commit sui
eide, but his room mate, Patrick Hardy,
was locked up on suspicion OF being
implicated in the deed. The knife
which made the wound in Gavin
wrist belonged to Hardy and Hardy
was in possession OF Gavin's watch.
These and other facts which they 90
not wish to state caused the police
to lock Hardy up pending an investi-
CATION into the cutting of the old SOL
dier.
Gavin was found in room 10 of the
house at 2O3k San Pedro street by
Hardy when he returned from eating
a meal. The room was dark and Hardy
says he slipped on the clotted blood,
which formed a pool about four feet III
diameter in the center of the room.
Hardy spent some time looking around
then notified the proprietor that his
partner was dying. The proprietor
called in Patroiman Gilp1n.
Gilpin saw that the man was nearly
dead from loss of blood. He tied up
flow. Then Gavin was taken to the
hospital, where he was subjected to
salt injections and other stimulants.
Wants to Die
T,eaye me alone. Let me die, doc
tors: let me die / want to die" he
told the surgeons. The police doctors
say he will recover.
Gavin had several medals given him
for good service in the United States
navy. He enlisted in the navy about
1883 and served through the Spanish
| American war under Admiral Dewey
one of his medals is for service on the
Montgomery and is dated July 27, 1885
1t says, "Given for Fidelity, Zeal an(
| Obedience" Another is commemora
tive of the victory of Manila bay, II
which battle Gavin served on the
| cruiser Boston. The old sailor was
proud of his medals and had then
pinned conspicuously on his breast
when found.
| The two sailors had come from the
Soldiers home about two months ago
and rented the room on San Pedro
street. Then they started to spend the
pension money they had accumulated
When Hardy was searched at the
station a quantity of "yen she" was
found upon him. He would not tell
where he got the drug. The police sus-
meet that it was obtained illegally and
will investigate.
There was some criticism yesterday
of the action of the police in locking
Hardy up when Gavin said he did
the deed himself. Their action was
precautionary one.
Gavin was taken to the county nos
pital. l

WILL REGULATED
GRADING CAMPS
COUNCIL LISTENS TO MANY
COMPLAINTS
Consent Of Property Owners Needed
Hereafter Before Applicants
Get Permits to Pre-
empt Acreage

Finally after much discussion the
committee of the whole Of the city coun-
Gil has decided to recommend that grad
ing camps be regulated hereafter.
The board of health first called atten-
tion to numerous complaints by prop
erty owners against grading camps in
their vicinity, most Of the grievances
having to do with the manure that ac-
cumulates near them, breeding flies and
inviting perstilence.
More recently councilmen have been
importuned to abate the camps which
are established in residence districts to
do certain public work, but persist in
remaining long after this particular
work has been completed, and taking
up new contracts far removed from
their temporary location.
1t was thought that getting consent
of nearby property owners before per-
mitting establishment of camps would
be the safest remedy when the question
came up in the city council last Monday.
Mr.. Wren suggested that in his ward
he had been bothered repeatedly by
constituents who rightly complained
against certain graders who seemed to
look upon these camps as permanent.
Some even took contracts near or be-
yond the city limits, miles away from
their roosting places.
Councilman Wallace said he was op-
posed to these camps when improperly
managed. Yet as he had heard only one
side and realized that as long as so
much public work had to be done camps
were necessary he preferred TO hear a
little more discussion before voting.
This resulted in reference to the COM
mittee of the whole yesterday where,
after further debate, an ordinance was
recommended that before establishing
camps applicants would have to get the
consent of property owners on both
sides of the street in the block where
sites were sought.

ABE RUFF

One more unfortunate,
Under the blows
OF justice importunate,
Tells what he knows.
Clean hifn out tenderly;
Take all his pile,
Fashioned not slenderly,
Filled full of guile.
Look at his record.
Is it not checkered
All over with crime?
What did he care for,
What was he there for,
But the dollar and dime?
He was a CRATER
For great things and small;
What he went after
Was simply all.
Make a deep scrutiny
Into his mutiny
Against law and order;
Knocking legality,
Shocking morality,
He passed the border.
Scared in his doing
BY justice pursuing,
He fastened to tell;
In he plunged quickly,
No matter how sickly
He felt as he fell.
He knew his damnation
And thought that salvation
Might come If he'd tell.
All of the slips of him
And of his brothers
Came from the lips of him
He told on the others.
Pick him up tenderly,
Handle with care,
Fashioned so slenderly
In whatever's square,
Alas for the rarity
OF Friscan charityl
Here we have proof;
Oh, it was pitiful-
Near a whole cityful
Jumped on poor Ruef.
