Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, June 22.-That dope
fiends" patronize the soda fountains Of
this city the year around, sometimes
drinking as much as from two quarts
to a gallon of dope syrup" in day,
was the statement made by soda
jerker' in one Of the biggest soda
stands of this city today
: Attention was called to the fact that
a certain man with the face oH dope
fiend' and hand that trembled had
been into the store twice within an
hour, and when he ordered "some of
the dope" the clerk passed him out half
a glass of black sryup with a quarter
of glass of vichy water. The man
drank the contents of the glass in a
swallow and paid his nickel, apparently
satisfied. ..fs w.
The soda jerker stated that between
thirty and forty people patronized the
stand every day and some of them
many times day, taking heavy doses
of the same drink. In his belief the
habit was not such passion as it was
some time ago, for the firm now used
only three quarts of the syrup day
where gallon and sometimes gallon
and half was formerly used.
The attendant also said that the
syrup had been put up differently of
late and certain ingredients to make
the drinker acquire habit had been
removed. He said that there were
certain ingredients in the syrup that
acted the same as cocaine. That many
of the people who drank at home made
drinking stimulating mixtures habit
during business hours he confessed,
saying the effects of the goods dis
pensed were much the same as intoXi-
eating liquor, the after effects being
as bad or worse

ARREST NEGROES
AS H|GHWAYMEN
Are Believed to Have Held Up and
Robbed Empoye of Brick Com.
\pany Who Had Just Re-
ceived Wages

Gregoria Marta, an employe of the
Simons Brick company, was held up
and robbed by two negroes on Seventh
street, near Santa Fe avenue, at 8
o'clock last night. The negroes secured
SIS from Marta, and three hours later
when two men were arrested on sus-
picion of having committed the crime
that amount of money, less few cents,
was found on them.
Marta was on his way home from a
trip downtown and was passing a va
cant lot which is fenced in from the
street with picket fence, when from
behind the fence an arm protruded and
pistol was showed into Martas face
with the terse command to throw I'D
his hands. He promptly obeyed the or
der and then a small negro came from
behind the fence and searched his
pockets, taking from him his weeks
wages, which was in gold pieces.
When they had secured his money the
negroes ran down the street and dis.
appeared around the corner of Santa Fe
avenue. Marta continued down Seventh
street until he came across Patrolmen
Robbins and Bowe, to whom he re-
ported the robbery and gave a descrip-
ton of the two men.
At about II o'clock the policemen
found two negroes who answered the
description of the highwaymen in a
saloon near the scene of the robbery.
They were spending money freely, and
it was ascertained that during the even
ing they had changed three S. gold
pieves into silver. They were taken to
the central police station and booked on
suspicion.
Both men deny the charge against
them. They gave their names as Albert
Harper and Abe Conway and claim to
be able to prove an alibi

MEETING
Sixteen Largest Establishments in the
City Agree to Shut Doors After
6 o'cIock-others Will
Follow Suit

Do your shopping Saturday after
moons. 1t will be useless to try and
shop Saturday nights in the future, as
sixteen of the largest stores in the city
have decided to close their doors at 6
o'clock that night in the future, and it
is probable many of the smaller stores
will join in the van before long.
This good news was announced at the

son auditorium last night. When word
was passed among those assembled that
the fight was won it was greeted with
cheers which echoed and re-echoed from
the walls of the building. Men, women
and children rose to their feet and
cheered when informed that no longer
would they be compelled to pass the
extra hours behind their counters.
A more enthusiastic meeting has
never been held in Los Angeles. More
than 5000 clerks thronged the building.
Aisles, side rooms and platform were
crowded, while knots of clerks who had
found it impossible to gain admission
held mass meetings on the sidewalk.
Building Decorated
The building had been decorated for
the occasion by the clerks from the
Broadway department store. Flags,
buntings and banners were hung about
the hall, while long strips of bunting
ffoated from the balconies. The ban
ners, each bearing the name of a de-
partment store, the clerks of which
were represented, had been furnished by
Lanes.
Ed w. Lewis acted as chairman of
the meeting. Mr.. Lewis has been one
of the leaders in the movement to close
the stores Saturday nights. Mr.. Lewis
is chairman of the committee of sixty
selected from the different stores to
carry on arrangements and aid in clos
ing the stores, and is given credit by
the members for having been largely
instrumental in bringing about the de-
sired end.
1t was stated by members of this
committee that fifteen stores had agreed
to close providing the Bon Marche

BIG LICENSE FEE
special to The Herald.

PASADENA, June 22-After bicker-
ing for several months over the ques-
ton of taxing cows outside the city
of Pasadena the Raab Dairy company
took out licenses on 543 COWS this even
ing at cost of $S14.50.
The Raab people furnish milk to
practically two-thirds the milk con-
sumers of Pasadena, and considerable
trouble has resulted over the company's
disposition not to abide by the city
ordinance. The company did not wish
to comply with the ordinance, as the
stock from which they secure milk is
scattered over all the towns of South
ern California.
Since the company has complied with
the ordinance the health inspector will
visit the different ranches and inspect
