THREATENS SUIT
Crowley Declares He Is Prosecuted by
Police Department and VIII
Ask for Injunction
Proceedings

e. H. Crowley gained another point
in his fight against the police commits
sion when the police courts set his
many trials for June %, pending the
decision of several suits he has begun
in the superior court: Justices Austin,
Chambers and Frederickson yesterday
agreed to do this in order that the
work of trying the cases might be
lessened.
Crowley has applied for writ of
mandamus requiring the police COM
mission to grant him license, for a
writ of review of the actions of the
police commission in revoking his Ii
cense and has declared through his
counsel his intention of seeking an
injunction restraining the police offi-
GERS from making any more arrests
while his cases are being tried.
Crowley claims that he is being per-
secuted by the police and cites the fact
that there are now ten cases standing
against him in the local police courts.
In addition to the large quantity of
law which he is involved In by his
violations of the license ordinance he
obtained a complaint yesterday from
Prosecutor Ford for the arrest of
Joseph Tarin on charge Of embez-
element. He claims that Tarin en-
bezzled a watch of his when he was
working for him last January.

ASK EXCEPTION
ON FIRE ESCAPES
HAMBURGER & SONS SUGGEST
COMPROMISE
Exterior Devices and Interior Walled
In Outlets on New Store Deemed
Amply sufflclent-councII
to Act

Secretary Zeehandelaar of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association,
acting for Messrs. Hamburger, yester-
day asked the councils committee or
the whole to recommend an ordinance
permitting Hamburger &S Sons to de-
part from the rulings of the building
department slightly in regard to fire
escapes on their immense new $l,5OO,OOO
fireproof department store building on
Eighth, Broadway and Hill streets.
The building department has ruled
that fire escapes should be placed on
the exterior of the building.
The architect has placed interior
walled-in escapes, as is the practice in
the east.
The firm is willing to place three out
side escapes-one on each street 'front.'
age-and make them double the ca
pacity of the department regulations,
but to install five would ruin the SYM
metry and appearance of the magnifi-
cent structure, which Is to be absolutely
fireproof.
Secretary Zeehandelaar urged that
building operations have reached a
stage where an early decision must be
made or work on the structure will be
halted.
1t was decided to hold special meet
ing of the building committee Monday
morning prior to the council session,
so that the necessary ordinance can
be introduced the same day.
In making his application Mr.. Zee
handelaar stated that the community
would in no wise be injured, as the
building would be model one, abso-
lutely fireproof. The firm would MAIN
tain it's interior fire escapes with exits
and inlets ,on each floor. The insur-
ance companies, which always look
after their own interests, had thorough
ly approved all the plans.
Councilman Wallace said it would be
we'll to let the fire commissioners,
building committee and building in
spector confer so as to get the quickest
and most satisfactory solution.
Councilman Dromgold asked Mr..
Hamburger to be present at the meet
ing Monday morning, as he said prop
osition to cut off all smoke from every
floor via the elevator shafts and stair
ways was under consideration and
might have bearing on this new struc-
ture.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-26


Councilman Healy wanted the puni-
tive clause stricken out as he said 1t
would do an injustice to heads of city
departments who acted on their best
Judgment.
Both Councilmen Lyon and Drom-
gold doubted whether the ordinance
would be legal without penalty
clause.
Deputy City Attorney Emmet Will
son, who had been summoned, empha-
sized this point, saying that some sort
of penalty had to be included. He
frowned on Councilman Wallace's sug-
gestion that for the first offense half
of the offenders pay for the month be
deducted. He explained that the coun-
Gil could not do this, as 1t could not
sit as a court there.
Councilman Blanchard spoke strongly
for penalty, saying that notwithstand-,
ing all the warning of the past three
months acquisitions that were irregu-
lar We're still pouring in on the supply
and finance committees.
President Pease feared that the mer-
chants or those selling goods to the
city were unfairly treated by the ordi-
nance, as all orders-eYen emergency
could be turned down by the supply
committee even If the goods had been
furnished.
Councilman Dromgold suggested that
the section governing emergency pur-
chases be printed in small type on the
requisition blanks. This was adopted
Counselor Wilson added that all those
who sold goods to the city were or
ought to be familiar with the charter
provisions
Auditor Mushet added that the object
of the ordinance was to protect the in
nocent seller and throw the burden on
the department ordering goods without
regular authority.

CLARINET PLAYER WANTS
TO JOIN PENITENTlARY BAND

When Nicolas Orpan, who was con-
victed on Wednesday of forging a
check for $1S, was arraigned for sem
tence yesterday, he evinced a prefer
ence for San Quentin rather than Fol-
som prison, and asked the court to
send him to the former.
What is your reason for wanting
to go to San Quentin?" inquired Judge
Smith. Have you ever been there?"
The prisoner replied that he had not
been there, but had learned that there
was band at San Quentin, and none
at Folsom, and he was clarinet
player.
The judge very considerably COM
piled with his request and instructed
the clerk to change the sentence to
three years at San Quentin.
Orpan thanked the court and chuck
led blithely as he was led away to
await transfer to the prison.

Heads of Departments Who Make
Requlsitions Without Authority
VIII Be Guilty of Mis-
demeanor

After considering all phases the city
council yesterday decided to recon-
mend to the council on Monday pass
age of the bill governing buying of city
supplies. Councilmen Yonkin and Wren
were the only absentees. Councilman
Henry Lyon presided.
Under this law. If passed, persons
or agents of the city who make requi-
sitions and purchase goods for the city
without proper authority from the
council or the supply committee are
guilty of misdemeanor, punishable by
a fine not exceeding $500 and not ex-
ceeding thirty days Imprisonment.
Exceptions are made in emergency
cases when so deemed necessary by
the heads of departments. ~
One clause Of the new law defines an
emergency as existing when fires, floods,
cave-ins or similar damage renders i'm
mediate repairs necessary or when lack
of a certain article will seriously inter-
fere with the city interests; also when
by court order certain papers must be
served, etc.
The supply committee shall after
ward be the judge of whether these
emergencies shall be shown to have
existed.

HEAP BIG |NJUNS
COME TO TESTIFY
Will Be Used as Witnesses Against
Man Accused of Giving Fire
Water to Government
Charges

Right off the Yuma reservation, in
all the glory of long hair, sandaled
feet, but only the ordinary garments
of civilized man, Henry Escalanti and
George Chamalee, two Indians who are
supposed to have been presented with
fire water by one Fernand Verasco, ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday to tes-
tify in the federal court when Verasco's
case is called.
1t appears that Verasco is ready and
willing to admit his guilt in the affair
and will tell the federal officials all
about it when he is called to the stand.
The Indians were only supposed to get
little taste Of the corn juice each,
but when they were on the outside of
the first sip they threw Verasco over
board and finished the supply between
them.
The two Indians have been mixed up
in a case of the kind before and when
they last visited the city they caused
Indian Agent Deaver all kinds Of trouble
by getting lost. Deaver told them to
show up at the court house on time
and then gave them transportation to
Long Beach, but after the jury had
waited for them six hours it was dis
covered that the Indians had gone to
the court house instead of the federal
building where their case was being
held.

CAP TAIN AUBLE
GETS REVENGE
Builds Fence Twelve Feet High to
Punish NeIghbor for Not
Following Tacit Un-
derstandlns

Captain of Police Auble has built
"spite fence"
1t seems even a police captain is hui
man. Auble lives at 1917 South Hope
street. In this block all of the resi-
dents have built their dwellings, at
certain distance back from the street,
so that their block will be an ideal res
idence place.
A man named Duseo recently built a
house next to Auble and contrary to
precedent put it flush with the side
walk, thereby cutting off the view of
all the neighbors, Auble included.
Auble has retailiated by building a
twelve-foot corrugated iron fence on
his lot Duseo lives at 1918 Hope street
and now is in the same fix as his
neighbors, of whom he thought he had
the advantage. When asked concern
ing the "spite fence" Captain Auble
merely smiles and says his neighbor's
name is "Duseo."
