KEEPS WORD; DOESN'T TAKE
ONE DR0P, BUT A QUART
Last Chance" of Jack McNuIty Ends
in Judge Frederickson's Court.
Five Days Is the Sem
tence

Jack McNuity. police court habitue,
apparently never allows a slip between
the cup and his own lips, and yesterday
morning Judge Frederickson gave him
five days in which to think the matter
over behind the bars.
Monday morning McNulty tearfu.ly i'm
plored the magistrate TO 'give him one
more chance" and after extracting a
pledge from him that he would never
touch another drop" Judge Frederickson
said that McNulty could escape with
small punishment on the condition that
he would appear Tuesday morning in
court for sentence.
McNulty went gayly out into the free
world, and true to his trust came into
sentence. But his obvious condition
stirred up the vials of wrath in the JUS
tice's breast.
Five days, McNulty. You broke your
word deliberately" was the stern de-
cision Of the law.
II don't mind the five days, your honor"
wept McNulty, but it truly hurts me
deeply to have you think that | went
back on you"
"You rascal, you know that you are
so drunk right now that you can hardly
stand, and this afternoon you promised
never to touch another drop" angrily
interposed Judge Frederickson.
"Nor did / touch drop, your honor.
I swear twas over a quart" was the
incor-igibles reply
But the judge let him off with five days.

TO TEST LODGING
HOUSE INSPECTION
DEMURRER WILL BE ARGUED IN
COURT TODAY
Russ House Owner Questions Consti-
tutionaIity Of ordinance--Mail-
Hauling Contractor Faces
Prosecution

Two cases important to the lodging
house inspection interests will be heard
in the courts today.
In the morning. in Justice Austin's
court, Attorney F. H. Thompson will
argue a demurrer in the case brought
against the Russ house at First and Los
Angeles street attacking the constitu-
tionality of the lodging house inspection
law.
In the afternoon the case against j. w.
Ftitzman. who holds the contract for
hauling the mails between the postoffices
and railroad stations in Los Angeles will
be heard.
Ritzman lodges his drivers as part of
their compensation, and 1T is alleged by
Lodging House Inspector Thomas West
that the quarters provided for the men at
Fifth street and Ruth avenue are bug
infested, dirty and lily ventilated.
In the first case the inspector ordered
a number of alterations in the Russ house
which have been ignored, the claim being
made that Thompson is the real owner
of the hostelry and that he hires man
to manage the hostelry for him.
In Ritzmans quarters 1t is alleged that
FIVE rooms lack sufficient ventilation, that
one room has no ventilation, that the
beds are infested with vermin, that the
floors are dirty and that no license has

TO DISCUSS FZS77C
GAME ON SATURDAY
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE is READY
Yonkin Is Absent, but II Is Under-
stood Question Will Be Put Up
to People at Next Gem
eral Election

Cuncilman a. J. Wallace declared yes
terday that the prize fight ordinances
would be taken UP by the committee of
the whole on Saturday morning
This measure, it is now UNDERSTOOD,
will be put before the people. however,
Councilman Lyon has declared, just as 1t
is proposed to put the Sunday theater-
closing question-before all the voters.
The policy seems to be to take this
course with all measures affecting the
privileges of the people, thus doing away.
with many troublesome problems. z
Councilman Wallace, however, wants
the council to settle the istic ordinance.
Before going to his old home near Chi
cago, where his father is critically i'll,
Councilman Yorkin Monday exacted a.
promise from fellow councilmen not to
dispose of the prize fight ordinance in
his absence.
1t is understood both President Pease
and Councilman Dromgold agreed to let
it lay over.
1t is believed the reference to the,
people will satisfy the constituents.
Blanchard is pledged to pass the or
dinance, as his ward has so instructed
him.
Lyon, Clampitt Healy and Yonlxin favor
the fight game, but want no fake lights:
they say.
The Hewitt ordinance provides that no:
contest shall go over ten rounds and that
there shall be no decision.
This 1t is thought will encourage clean,
boxing. which will appeal to sporting,
men who like the scientific side OF the
game.

MYSTERIES OF STOREH0USE
BOXES AIRED IN COURT
JUDGE QUITS AT ENUMERATION
OF DRESSES
First Owner Refutes designation of
Contents W Woman Who Pur-
chased "BIind" from Van
Company

Judge Smith found a hard case yester-
day afternoon when he undertook to un-
ravel the tangle over two boxes of goods
containing many articles of woman's APP
parel and household utensils.
The boxes were stored by Mr.. and Mrs.
John Thurman with the Bekins Van and
Storage company. They were not called
for at the expiration of the time for
which they were left and the two boxes
were sold to Mrs. Dumbler of SO Main
street for $15 who bought them not
knowing what they contained.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thurman sued to recover
the goods and presented to the court a
list of the contents, which were said to
be of considerable value. The judge took
the list, calling off the items to Mrs.
Dumbler, asking If they were what she
had taken out of the boxes.
''What did you find in the boxes when
you opened them?' asked the judge.
rolling pin, potato masher and three
sofa pillows" replied the witness. "Then
there was little pillow that could have
been made into big one but 1t would
have been mighty thin continued the
Witness
'were there any books?" asked the
judge.
books was the reply. II don't know
what they were about, but think they
were natural histories and the like"
Then came the enumeration of the ar
ticles of feminine attire. The debate
grew hot and heavy as various articles
were brought up by the attorneys and
submitted to the witnesses for examina-
ton. The climax was reached over a

Then Mrs. Thurman went on the stand
and Indignantly refuted the testimony
of the former witness in regard to her
books. "They were not old books; they
were all classical and up to date. There
were Letters from the Poetic World
and Tmerson's Essays There was abso-
lutely no trashy reading" Then she
took UP the articles of clothing.
There was a. box suit. there was an

FALSE ARREST

PATRoLMEN
MuLcTED OF $500 RINGS is AN
OTHER COMPLAINT
Mrs. Minnie Brown, Who Gave Jewels
to Save Suitor, Asks Courts to
Locate Man Who Pawned
Them

The path of Mrs. Minnie Brown, the
star witness for the defense in the case
of the United States against Nat Robin
son, a jewelry salesman, arrested for
sending improper letters through the
mails, has been beset with troubles since
she came to Los Angeles from Goldheld
for the purpose of testifying in the pris-
oner's behalf last Saturday.
Yesterday Mrs. Brown filed suit for
$4,000 damages against Patrolmen A. @.
Rerchtold and e. l.. Oker, charging that
they had taken her into custody without
the process of a warrant or the service
of a subpoena and had held her captive
for three hours in the United States mar
shars office for the purpose of sweat
ing her in regard to Robinson's case
The suit against the two officers was
filed by Attorney Frederick a. Thomp-
son. who represents both Mrs. Brown
and Robinson. and it is anticipated that
a sensation will develop because or the
alleged false arrest.
Mack Saulz. familiarly known to the
under world as yellow Nike" once or
Los Angeles, whose present whereabouts
are not known by the police because OF
his sudden flight, is the cleverest or all
..artful dodgers" according to Mrs. MIN
y
nlaint with City Prosecutor Fleming,
charging Saulz with the extortion and
embezzlement of two diamond rings
valued at $500 and $50 in cash.
IT appears from the complaint that
saulz swindled the woman out of her
money and jewels by appealing to her
affection for Robinson
Saulz. 1t is said, called on Attorney
Frederick Thompson, who represented
Robinson, and procured the address of
Mrs. Brown, whom he visited, assuring
her of his concern for Robinson and
nromising her that he could square Rob-
iinson's little case for a small consid-
Grafton"
Mrs. Brown placed two fine diamond
rings and all of the money she had in
Saulz' possession. with the understanding
that Saulz would use the proceeds to gain
the latters release from prison.
The woman never saw Saulz again, and
the only trace that he left 10 the officers
was a ticket for the diamonds, which ne
had, pawned in local shop.

that flowed out never to return; did
not the local banks buy the warrants
and receive the interest? 1t never
flowed out at all, and many warrants
were never presented for payment.
On these the county paid no interest,
but not so the poor tax payer; he had
to borrow at 10 per cent interest to pay
his tax, while the county only paid 8
per cent. Now which is best-all the
tax payers to join in paying the 6 or
the individual to pay 10? And for the
writer to make such statement as,
"If the public are always firm in their
demands for public economy we will
always have low tax,"-with the

and knowing how flagrantly they set
aside the public demand for economy
