WILL ASK FOR
ASCOT LICENSE
TO PETITION COUNCIL THIS
AFTERNOON
Track Management Asserts That Per.
NIT Was Made Void by Faulty
Signature Of Clerk, and
Police Closed Bar

A petition will be placed before the
city council this afternoon asking for
temporary extension of the liquor
license which was curtailed Saturday
by Chief of Police Kern.
According to the track management,
a mistake arose in granting the license.
The council, it appears, directed Min
ute Clerk d. M. Carroll to sign for
City Clerk Lelande. The latter's Sig
nature per Carroll caused the license
to become void, and as a result police
interference shut down the bar.
M. l.. Lawrence, who holds the con-
cession, said yesterday that some ins
side work was being effected and that
he expected the license would be re-
granted at the council meeting today.
Ascot management appears much
wrought up over the closing, and as
sert that agreement with the annex
alton committee allowed all conces-
sions to stand.
very thirsty crowd was in evil
dence at the track Saturday, and just
because there was no refreshment
abroad those who do not approach a
bar under ordinary circumstances ex-
perlenced great dryness at sight of
the wetless stalls.
Not even water was to be had and
general rush ensued when somebody

IMPURE WHISKY
KILLS YOUNG MAN
HAD BET HE COULD DRINK A
QUART
Prune Juice and Wood Alcohol Have
Deadly EHect--Poliee VIII Try
to Learn Where Poison
Was Purchased

A dollar bet made with companions
that he could drink one quart of
whisky cost the life Of Edward Wheal-
and, 10 years of age, who died at the
receiving hospital of acute alcoholism
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Whealand Is a son of Charles Wheal-
and, one of the proprietors of the
Sleep Well Mattress company at 649
South Olive street. His two brothers,
Arthur w. and Victor f. Whealand,
are also members of the firm. The
family home is at Colegrove, but Ed
ward has been living above the sales
rooms on Olive street.
According to his brother, the boy
was brought into the establishment
late Saturday night by several young
men. They said he had made bet
that he could drink q quart of whisky
without getting up from the table.
At that time he did not seem to be
suffering greatly, but was stupefied
from the effects of the liquor.
He did not regain consciousness, but
yesterday morning began to moan as
in pain. The police were notified and
the patrol wagon was sent out and he
was taken to the receiving hospital.
He was unconscious when he reached
that place and although treatments
were at once given him he died five
minutes after his arrival there.
The body was taken to Robert
Sharp's undertaking establishment and
his brothers were notified of his death.
They said yesterday they did not
know who the men were who were
with the boy at the time he drank
the liquor or where the whisky was
obtained. According to the police, an
officer will be sent out to locate the
man who sold the whisky, as well as
the companions of the young man.
1t is believed the liquor was some
of the poisonous wood alcohol and
fusel oil that distillers flooded the
country with just prior to the enforce
ment of the pure food law.
The police claim to have gained a
confession from Charlie Lewis of 617
West Eleventh street to the effect that
Arthur Robinson, whose address is un-
known, wagered young Whealand a
dollar that he could not drink quart
of whisky, and agreed to purchase the
whisky if Whealand would drink it.
Lewis says Whealand took the chal-
lenge and drank the full quart bottle
of whisky almost without hesitating.
The whisky, he says, was obtained
from q wine house on Spring street,
between Seventh and Eighth streets.
The police will make an effort to
prosecute the proprietor of this wine
house for selling intoxicating liquor to
minors, as the dead boy and his COM
panion are under age.
An inquest will be held upon the
body of Whealand by the coroner at
o'clock this afternoon.

UnruIy Gallery God Tries 20 Give
Advice to Actors at the Grand
Theater and Is Ar
rested

A sensation aside from the thrills of
the melodrama was enacted at the Bur-
bank theater last night during the pro-
duction of "a Navajos Love-" when a
man in the gallery began to make sug-
gestions to the actors on the stage as
to the proper method of rendering their
lines. He also made himself obnoxious
by echoing the kisses of the hero and
heroine every time their lips met -(ana
it was often).
Even the customarily unruly element
of the gallery became disgusted with
the mans actions, and small tornado
of Indignation broke from the gallery
gods that we'll nigh resulted in the cont
plete annihiliation of the offender.
Jaw, shut up, you dub; can't you let
guy hear de show?" "Chuck him,
chuck him!" "Swat the mutt" and
other similar and more forceful resent
ment were hurled at the disturber by
the gallery and Joined in by the aud
ience of the lower floors.
The man, who gave the name of Ed
Jones, was finally taken from the the
ater by Special officer Bowen and locked
up in the central police station on a
charge of disturbing the peace.

CITIES SOON TO
BECOME ONE
CITY COUNCIL TODAY TO CALL
ELECTION
President of Consolidation Commission
Predicts That Los Angeles and
San Pedro Will Be Joined
Within Six Weeks

"There is not the slightest doubt
that within the next six weeks the
consolidation of Los Angeles and San
Pedro will be an accomplished fact"
S. A. Butler, president of the Los
Angeles city and county consolidation
commission, confidently made the fore
going assertion yesterday, and he
based his prediction on an absolute
knowledge of the situation at the har-
Dor city and the certainty that today
the city council of Los Angeles will
call special election on the question
of consolidation, to be held on a date
as soon as possible after the expiration
of twenty-eight days, the length of
time which the call must be advertised
in order to make the election legal.
Wilmington will be the next district
to be consolidated with Los Angeles,
but if the sentiment at Long Beach
in favor of consolidation continues to
grow as rapidly during the next two
or three weeks as it has during the
same period just passed, there is a
possibility that the beach city will be
clamoring for consolidation before
Wilmington has an opportunity of Vot-
ing on the question of that city be-
coming a part of Greater Los Angeles.
Sentiment Grows Fast
According to the best of information
from Long Beach the sentiment in
favor of annexation is spreading most
rapidly and in the face of the most
bitter opposition, led by the three local
newspapers.
Literature furnished by the consoli-
dation commission is being circulated
by the leaders in the consolidation
movement at Long Beach, with the
result that the people generally are
becoming convinced that the future
well-being of the city depends upon
consolidation with Los Angeles.
The fact is just becoming known
that even now the water supply of
Long Beach is inadequate. The wells
from which the city secures it's water
supply are fast becoming less produc-
tive and the startling information has
leaked out that it is practically im-
possible at times to force water higher
than the second floor of business
blocks.
This fact has been kept from the
citizens of Long Beach by the local
papers, but 1t is now becoming gem
orally known and 1t is resulting, more
than any other development, to change
the views of those who have been
confident that Long Beach was able
under all conditions, to get along with
out the assistance of Los Angeles.
Call to Be Issued Today
At the regular session today of the
Los Angeles city council the petitions
from this city and San Pedro, asking
the calling of a special consolidation
election, will be presented.
The lists have been certified by City
Clerk Lelande, who has found that
the petitions, both local and from San
Pedro, bear signatures of many more
legal voters than the law requires.
and as a result the issuing of a call
of form.

by Gen. and Mrs. Grant was once the
property of Mrs. U. S. Grant, and is a
beautiful design. A band of links simu-
lating a chain goes half way round the

The silver service, the gift of the
Messrs. Honore, consists of four COM
potes, two vases, huge bowl of unique
design and a set of finger bowls.
A carved oak chest filled with fine
linen, table and bed linen, was one OF
the handsomest presents. There were
books without number, several neck
laces of jade, besides others of precious
stones. There were 16 silver dinner
plates, all different, but of a similar
size.
Lieut.. Grant was born in New York
in 1881, and lived there until his father
was appointed Minister to Vienna, when
he went abroad with the family. He
