SAYS LIQUOR LAW
WON'T HOLD WATER

Sawtelle will have to draft a new
liquor ordinance If 1t wishes to remain
a dry" town. The present ordinance
reads that it is unlawful for citizen
of Sawtelle to have in his possession at
one time more than one pint of vinous,
malt or spirituous liquor.
Recently P. j. Flynn, citizen of
Sawtelle, was found to have more than
one pint of liquor in his possession and
was arrested. His case was tried by
the city recorder of the little town and
Flynn was found guilty.
Flynn at once appealed the case, and
Judge B. N. Smith yesterday handed
down the decision that the law was
unconstitutional.
mo one can say how much liquor a
man may keep in his cellar without
breaking a law" said Judge Smith.
"Such course would be absurd. In
fact, such an ordinance cannot be en-
forced, as it interferes with the per-
sonal rights of the people"

Young Girl a Pyromaniac.

To satisfy morbid craze for the same spectacular flames that devoured the city one year ago, little Editha Lindhurst, fourteen-year-old girl, committed arson. The youthful lncen- diary is held by the juvenile officers and her offense is the first to come be- fore the men who deal in crimlnallty of children. Equally baffiing is the child-like simplicity with which the motherless little girl tells of her fas- cination for fire and her plans to de- stroy an entire neighborhood last Sun- day night. Confined at the home for juvenile offenders, Editha tells of the weird impulses that urged he to set the cottage on fire. "I wanted another big fire like when the city burned, she said, and her uncle tells story o1 how the little niece watched with fas' cination the mountainous flames tn; swept the city last April. There Is fear that the scenes of the disaster have stamped themselves on the mem ory of the girl and she will always crave for the excitement of a tire.- San Francisco Bulletin.
