n YEARLY all actresses have fads for
N collecting odd and curious objects
of some sort or another. Various
artists have spent years in collecting
rare postage stamps, fans, old buckles,
old slippers, souvenir spoons and other
interesting and useful or ornamental
junk.
Miss Jeanette Lowrie of 1.-THE Free
Lance" who in ivate life is the wife
of Thomas O. SeabroolS, has one Of the
most interesting and original fads. Her
leisure time is devoted to the collection
and arrangement of printed stories
about children. Instead of the usual
list of adulatory press notices, Miss
Lowrie's scraT book is filled with neat
ly written kid" tales which have been
told her by proud parents or teachers.
one of the gems of Miss Lowrie's
collection has to do with one Of the
youngsters in one Of the settlement

LICENSED CAFES
HARD TO COMBAT
Preacher Declares Restaurants That
Sell Liquor Are More of a Prob
lem Than Free Lunch
Saloons

"a restaurant with a liquor license is
harder to fight than saloon" said
Rev. L. A. Gould, secretary of the
Home Protective league, yesterday.
I'm the Occidental Heights district,
just beyond Boyle Heights, the senti-
ment is overwhelmingly dry. 1t is a
residence dictrict,' continued Mr..
Gould, but the saloon is not dead. AL
though the licenses expire the first of
April, and no attempt has been made
to renew them, new subterfuge is
now resorted to- A petition was be-
ing circulated requesting that a restau-
rant liquor license be granted, giving
permission to serve liquor with meals.
The community does not want liquor
sold in the vicinity under any guise.
"A protest has been circulated by the
local Home Protective league praying
that the petition be denied. And on
Monday the secretary filed list of 300
names with the supervisor of the dis
trict, c. d. Manning. That gentleman
stated that if the district had voted
dry it would stay dry, in so far as his
influence could effect it, and that there
was not the slightest chance of the Ii
cense receiving his approval. Petitions
of like tenor have been prepared by
the residents of Montebello precinct
and the parts of ward nine of the city,
adjoining the city limits.
Another subterfuge is projected. A
club, it is said, will be organized, and
charter obtained from the secretary
of state, authorizing a close corpora
ton where liquor can be dispensed to
the members. But the office of the dis
trict attorney states that no charter
can protect a club that is simply
drinking club in a dry district. 1t is
simply a blind pig, and the office is
distinctly against blind pigs.
THE sheriff of the county also states
that if the Occidental Heights region
has voted itself dry, it shall stay dry,
If 1t is necessary to deputize every man
in the district to enforce the law. So
Los Angeles has reason to be grateful
forF sturdy defenders of the law,
Nevertheless, the temperance people
do not propose to rest until complete
success is gained and the institution
that never dies until it is killed enjoys
a big funeral"

Police Board Reiterates Its Firm Pol

II don't see why people bring in
petitions for liquor licenses in resi-
dence localities when it is the declared
policy of this board that they will not
be granted, remarked Mayor Harper
RaVera was placed before him.
RaVera wanted a permit for 1919 West
Washington street.
The police chiefs report shows that
this block is between Burlington and
Bonnie Brae streets and a branch
library is across the street. There is a
saloon a block and half west.
Ravera had obtaine a majority of
signers in the block.
The petition was promptly denied by

PLEA OF A CoUNTERFEITER

TRENTON, N. j., March 19.-John
Harvey of Newark, who was indicted
by the last grand jury for counter
feiting, made a peculiar plea before
Judge Cross in the United States dis
trict court here. When arrested a COM
plete counterfeiting outfit, excepting
dies, was found in his home. Harvey
admitted having made spurious coins,
but added that when he had completed
the job he repented because of his re-
cent marriage and made an effort to
destroy the coins. He succeeded in get
ting rid of all but nine of them, he says
and he got up during the night, while
his wife was asleep, to destroy the rest.
The nine coins were thrown into a coal
heap and were found by the police.
Judge Cross sentenced him to 800 fine
and three years at hard labor in the
Essex county penitentiary. Harvey
asked that he be not sent to the Essex
county institution, because during a
term in that prison after conviction on
a similar charge he lost forty founds.
The judge changed the place of impris-
onment to Trenton.
Il expect you to send me down. said
Harvey when sentence was passed, "but
I want you to let my wife out of jail.
She had nothing to do with my crime"

CRITIZISES LACK
OF PATROL WAGONS
DeIirious Woman Compelled to Lie on
the Sidewalk in the Rain Long
After Call Is Made for
Ambulance

For forty-five minutes that woman
lay on the sidewalk with the rain beat
ing down upon her unconscious form.
During that time three calls were
sent to the police station for the am
bulance but none came and at last it
was necessary for me to go to the
station and demand that a wagon be
sent to Fourth and Grand avenue for
the woman" said c. G. Faulkner, 519
West Fourth street, at the central
police station when speaking of Mrs.
Martin, a refined appearing, neatly
dressed woman of about 80 years of
age who had been taken into the re-
ceiving hospital raving in delirium
few minutes previous.
"It is true the woman may have been
intoxicated" continued Mr. Faulkner,
"but even if she was that does not eX-
cuse the system which does not make
sufficient preparations to take care of
injured persons who are i'll. A human
life is precious no matter whether the
person is intoxicated or not and the
fact that the woman was left without
aid for three-quarters of an hour with
the rain pouring down upon her may
cost her life.
Sent Three Calls
several men we stood around the wo-
man and held our umbrellas over her,
hoping every minute the wagon would
arrive Three calls were sent for it
and the first two times we were told
that the ambulance was out on a call
but would be sent as soon as it re-
turned The third time the man who
received the call simply hung the re-
receiver up and 1t was necessary for
to 70 ha che Nd
that the wagon be sent at once.
"I was then told that the wagon had
Just come in and would go for the
young woman without delay.
1.-THE police department must be in
a pretty condition when only one wagon
is kept at the station when an accident
may happen at any moment and an
ambulance needed. The department is
always shouting for newepatrolmen. I
think it would be good idea to teach
those we have what is necessary in
case Of illness and arrange matters so
an ambulance would always be on
hand at the station"
When the first call for the wagon
came to the police station the one
patrol which was in service was out on
a call Another wagon and two horses
were in the basement of the city Jail,
but the horses were not hitched and
sent out after the woman. Although
the wagon returned after the first call
came in 1T was not sent out for the
woman but was sent after a drunk"
on East First street, while the woman
was allowed to remain on the cold stone
sidewalk, suffering and delirious.
When taken to the receiving hospital
the physicians said she was intox-
icated and turned her over to the
matron for the night. She will be al
lowed to leave the jail this morning.

Garibaldians if anyone could give her
a sentence )ntaining the word "disar-
range" correctly used.
1t was rather poser for the small
Dagoes in the class, but one big-eyed
lad presently held up very grimy hand
as signal that he had overcome the diff
ficultles Of the case. The reward of a
dime had stimulated the small Tuscan

his triumphant example of En1 lish as

'Damma dissa range!'"
The small boy got his dime.
