ing July, August and half of September.
Nearly every clothier, halter, fur
nisher and shoe dealer has signed,

year round but many of these will not
close on Saturday afternoons during
the hot season. The committees hope
to effect the larter next year.
Forty-one merchant tailors have
signed to close, and as all the furniture
men, milliners, queensware merchants
and most of the jewelers. and hardware
men have signed Los Angeles will

q. M in the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' rooms and it is expected their
action will be unanimous for the closing

Arrangements are being perfected
whereby a monster jubilee assembly
will be held probably Friday of next
week, in which every merchant agree.

with his employees, will be asked tc
participate.
| The question will be thundered from
every pulpit in the city Sunday ant

asking the public not to shop Saturday
nights will be inserted.
Now that the large stores are as.
sured the movement is being directed

BOY IS SORRY He
BEAT HIS MOTHER
Makes Pledge He VIII Never Do So
Again and Is Placed on
Parole for Thirty
Days

Clifford Morgan, the boy who was
accused Of beating his mother, was ar
raigned before Justice Rose yesterday
morning on a charge of battery. Mrs.
Morgan was in court and peeped
courageously out from her blackened
eyes. The crestfallen youth showed
condition and seemed to be on the
verge of crying.
A. D. Warner appeared for the lad,
and before any record was made on the
courts books pleaded with the court to
dismiss the case. Warner said it was
very fragrant case of battery, made
worse by the fact that the injured
party was the accused boys mother.
But the boy had pledged his word not
to repeat the offense. His mother did
not want a criminal record placed
against the youths name and, in ad-
dition, he was earning money which
was being applied on the purchase OF
lot for the poor family to live on. II
the lad was sent to jail his wages
would be lost and the family deprived
of his aid.
Clifford is big, strong boy, although
under 16 years of age, and when JUS
tice Rose looked him over he refused
to dismiss the case, but did consent to
continue the case until July q. If the
boy does not break the peace during
the intervening time the justice says
he will be inclined to favor Warner S
request for dismissal.
During his parole the boy will re-
port weekly to Detention Officer Dodds
at the detention home.

JUDGE SMITHS DOCKET
Relieved BY DIVISION

The superior court, sitting en- banc
yesterday, decided that departments
one and eight will hereafter divide all
of the criminal business which hereto
fore has been handled by Judge Smith
in department one alone.
All criminal cases will be submitted
to presiding Judge Monroe, who will
determine to which of the two depart
ments they shall be assigned. The new
arrangement will expedite the criminal
branch of the superior court business.

congested.
BY being relieved of part of the GRIM

to try civil suits, but as Judge Wilbur
has charge of all incorrigible youths as

full if department eight will try civil
cases in the future.

slaughter. Cowley is said to have been
responsible for the collision between a
street car which he was running and
a buggT containing Arthur Jacobson
and his father. Several days afterward
Arthur jacobson died and the coroner s
jury which heard the evidence decid-
ed that Cowley was responsible for
Jacobson's death.
The railway company put up his $4,000
bail and since that time Cowley has
been working for the company.
When seen yesterday Prosecutor
Fleming said that the reason nothing
had been done by his office was be-
cause he had no evidence brought to
him by the coroner until Saturday af-
ternoon.
Fleming will investigate the evidence
introduced at the coroner's inquest and
if 1T is sufficient he will issue a COM
plaint against Cowley, charging him

STILL STICK TO
MEAL COMEBACKS
Restaurant Men Will Ask Council to
Permit Them to Utilize Rejected
Bread and Butter in Eat
ing Houses

Restaurant owners will ask the city
council probably Monday to amend the
new ordinance which absolutely pro-
hibits the use of comebacks, even bread
and butter, in restaurants.
The law distinctly specifies that what
ever has been once laid before patron
must be Immediately consigned to the
garbage can when the patron leaves
the table or counter.
All garbage must go into one can so
that there can be no surreptitious sep
arating of bread and other staple ar
ticles by cans when the inspector is
not near. AS fast as one can is filled
it must be closed with metal top and
another set In place in the kitchen.
Restaurant men say second hand
bread makes good pudding, while the
butter remaining on pats can be used
in frying without special objections.
The councilmen will decide after they
hear from their constituents.

The town meeting was adjourned to
Monday morning at 9 o'clock for the an
nouncemcnt of the official vote by the
moderator and the transaction of any
other business which may properly come
up. 1t was thought at first that this
adjourned meeting would be merely
matter of form. but the failure to elect
third auditor and the second road COM
missioner has made it probable that i'm
porant questions will come up The vote
to have a second road commissioner was
passed by a good margin, but on sober
second thought many men about town
are questioning the wisdom of the de-
cision ana hope to see some other solu-
ton of the road problem decided upon.
As the second road commissioner failed
To be elected owing To the necessity Of
his securing a majority the way is left
open to reconsider the action of last
Tuesday. The fact that John i. Sargent
received only 1S9 of 1862 votes cast indi-
Gates that the citizens are not much in
favor of a second road commissioner.
All voters are urged to be present so
that the question may be decided on its
merits ana be real decision of the peo-
pie. As the rural districts have SO
much at stake it is hoped that they will
be well represented.

proved wholly successful from every
standpoint, and the Washington trip

thusiastiC over the trip. as they were
not to go, although they lent willing
hands to the aid of the fair. which pro-

Principal f.. Burr Smith formally pre-
scented the junior class with an even 500

interesting points The last evening was

headquarters for several Southern con-
gressmen and the young people delighted
them by singing southern songs until
