PICTURE DEALERS
IN TREPLDATYON
"MoRAL" LEGISLATION ENIGMA
TO ARTISTS
Attitude of Police Toward Pictures In
the Altogether in Light of
New Law Topic of
Anxiety

What effect the latest moral legisla-
ton will have upon the art interests of
the city is what picture dealers are ask
ing themselves.
At the request of the police department
the city council yesterday passed an
ordinance making it unlawful to even
have in possession any picture or repro
duction of an obscene nature.
When the last vote on the measure had
been registered by the clerk, Barney Hea-
ly of the Eighth ward, asked: well.
amt any picture of a woman without
clothes in that class?'
There was no answer. His colleagues
hastily turned to other matters, and SO
far the question has remained without a
reply.
What the standpoint of the police will
be is a subject of interest In the circles
where art is made and sold. Will tho
bluecoats adopt the attitude which has
brought notoriety to the constables of
Kansas, or will they take counsel with
critics before beginning hunt for infrac-
tions?
According to City Attorney Hewitt, art
stores, if their contents are regarded as
immoral by the officials, will not be i'm
mune.
The ordinance is drastic. The making
writing, composing, stereotyping, printing,
designing, copying or drawing of any
such print, book, bill, photo or casting
comes under the ban.

BOARD PUTS END TO
SALOON BROKERAGE
WEISBART.sCHooN SCHEME
DOOMED
Police Commissioners VIII Declare
Themselves Opposed to Any
Liquor Stores in Resi-
dence Districts

Harry Schooner will not get his much
wanted license for family liquor store"
at 5021s West Temple street.
Lobbyist Charles Weisbart will no
longer linger around the city hall wnen
the police board is in session.
These are prophecies based on remarks
of several of the police commissioners
made yesterday.
It follows the earnest campaign against
establishing saloons in the residence dis
tricts which the women OF the w. G. t.
| U. and others have waged since the Tenn
pie street scheme was broached last week.
Welsbart Is the man representing a
brewery who boasted of making $4,000
profit out of a saloon license which he in
duced the board to grant him. He sold
the license.
Schooner is his brother-in-law whom he
had enlisted in the saloon license broker
age scheme.
Notice has been unofficially served on
the breweries that If they want to be
sure of having prospective licenses turned
down hereafter all they need to do is to
try the Weisbart-Schoone way of getting
permits.
Mayor Harper has been incensed for
some time over the efforts of some inter-
ests to break into the residential districts
with permits to do liquor business. and
it is understood that the police board will
today repeat its former declaration on
this subject-only in stronger terms.

from behind a car she stepped directly
in front of an automobile driven by

The machine was going too fast to
be stopped, although the driver made
every possible effort to do so. The
front wheel struck the young girl and
passed completely over her body.
Skinner leaped from the machine and
dragged the prostrate form from be-
meath the machine. Placing her in the
tonneau he drove as fast as possible to
the receiving hospital. Police Sur

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 19.-John A.
Benson and DR.. Edward B. Perrin were
today convicted of conspiracy to defraud
the United States government in securing
1000 acres of land in Tehama county.
The verdict. which means fine and
term of Imprisonment, was returned by
a Jury in the United States district court
after being out about an hour. Only
two ballots were required before the jury
arrived at the decision to find the alleged
defendants guilty.
Benson and Dr. Perrin were allowed to
retain their liberty on bail and Judge
De Haven set Thursday as the day for
passing sentence.
j. c. Campbell made the closing argu-
rient for the defense at the morning ses-
sion. and In the afternoon United States
District Attorney Devlin closed for the
prosecution, summing up the case in a
forcible manner.
In his charge Judge De Haven in
etructed the Jury that If they found from
the evidence that DR.. Perrin had at any
time subsequent to October 81, 1903, taken
advantage of the contract with Benson ne
should be found guilty as charged. After
the Jury had been out half an hour or so
they filed back into court and asked for
the reading of the letters Perrin wrote
from Washington SHELLS reply and that
part of the charge relating to DR.. Per-
rims liability in connection with the Ben
son contract. The verdict was returned
ten minutes after the request Of the jury
had been granted.
DR.. Perrin took the verdict very hard
and was comforted by his two sons.
Benson appeared to be dumfounded at the
result The punishment provided by the
statute is a fine of not less than $1,000
nor more than $4,000, the Imprisonment
for not less than two years.

LONG BEACH HARBOR MAY
BE OPEN BY MAY |, 1908
Dock and Terminal Company Official
Declares Salt Lake Lines
Extension of Time
Means Little

LONG BEACH, Aug. 1--we do not
consider that the Salt Lake Railway
company has been given much of an ex-
tension of time" said c. H. Windham OF
the Los Angeles Dock and Terminal COM
pany today, in speaking of the recent
order of the war department relative to
the Salt Lakes bridge across the San
Gabriel river at the mouth of the Long
Beach harbor
THE government ordered the railway
company to remove it's old trestle bridge
by September H. 1907. Now the railroad
is given to April 20, 190S to complete
the proposed new drawbridge."
The officials of the harbor building
company feel confident that by May !
1908, the entrance to the harbor will have
been entirely cleared, making possible
the entrance of largest ships.

TAYLOR WINS OVER
SCHlMITZ IN FRISCO
fContrnued from page one,

legal title For the purpose, therefore,
of determining who is mayor de facto of
San Francisco, we must inquire who ap-
pears to be mayor de jure."
Here are cited the political code and
charter provisions naming conviction of
felony as a cause creating a vacancy
in the office of mayor, and the court
proceeds
"Schmitz was convicted of the felony
of extortion June 13. We are not re-
quired to decide in this case whether the
entry of that verdict constitutes a con-
viction,' in the sense of the statute, for
here a vacancy was not declared by the
board of supervisors, and Boxton was
not elected until the 9th of July after
the entry of judgment on July had
been duly certified to the board by Judge
Dunno.
"At that date certainly, if not before
Mr. SchmitZ was convicted. The event
had occurred which by the terms of the
statutes of charter vacated the Offices
"The result is that the public officer
convicted of a felony is placed by the
verdict in position and under physical
restraint which prevents him from per-
forming the duties of his office.
'Since a prisoner in custody cannot adj
minister a public office he cannot be al
lowed to stand in the way of the ap-
pointment of one who can perform its
duties No one has a property right in
an office paramount to the public in
terest.
Must Give Up Office
''When by his fault or misfortune. he
is no longer able to render the service
the public interests demand he should
give way to some one who can An Of
ficial who is declared insane is simply
unfortunate, but he ceases to be an Off
cial; an innocent man who is unjustly
convicted of a felony is doubly unfor-
tunate, but the fact that he may by
means of an appeal ultimately succeed
in establishing his innocence does not
entitle him in the meantime to hold on
to a public office when he is no more
capable of serving than If he were in
sane
THE tendency of the appeal does not
affect the presumption of guilt which
arises upon the rendering of the verdict.
1T is ordered that the peremptory
writ of mandate issue as prayed"
In supplemental opinion, concurred
in by Justices Sloss and Shaw, Justice
Angelotti holds that the specific pur-
pose of the charter provision naming
felony conviction as a vacating cause
was ito create vacancy in the office
of mayor upon rendition of verdict of
guilty" The imposition of sentence is
not necessary to complete the conviction
for the vacating purpose.

TAKE FIRST STEPS
FOR FIRE ELECTION
WREN ALONE OBJECTS TO BOND
ISSUE
Thinks Fire Protection Should Be Pro,
vided for Out of Current Rev.
enue-ordlnanc Of
Intention Passed

First steps were taken yesterday by
the CITY council to call a special election
for an issue of 100000 fire bonds.
Under the law a resolution OF inten-
ton and an ordinance of Intention must
first be passed.
The formal call for an election will
come later.
The form of this resolution as passed
yesterday was as follows:
"In accordance with your instruc~
tions to present an ordinance de-
claring the necessity of constructing
and acquiring fire engine mouse
buildings, acquiring certain lanos
upon which to construct the same
and of acquiring and constructing
certain fire apparatus, the estimateo
cost of which said Improvement is
$500, 900.
'I present herewith an ordinance
determining that the public interest
and necessity demand the construc-
tion and ACQUISITION by the city OF
Los Angeles of a certain municipal
Improvement, to wit: The construc-
tion of certain fire engine house build
ings, the acquisition of certain lands
upon which to construct said fire en-
gine house buildings, and the acquisi-
tion and construction of certain fire
apparatus, and that the cost thereof
is and will be too great to be paid
out of the ordinary annual income
and revenue of said city.
az have approved said ordinance as
to FORM
Bond experts insist that all these legal
preliminaries are faithfully adhered to-
Councilman Wren objected to the bond
issue being made for the fire depart
ment He said that bridges. Fairgrounds
parks and such items rather than fire
protection should be made the basis Of
the special election rather than some
thing on which the city could not take
any chances of defeat.
1--WE can't get along without bridges,
either" remarked Acting President
Henry Lyon.
Councilman Dromgold, who is on the
finance committee, disagreed with Mr..
Wren, saying that bonds for fire protec-
ton would stand a better chance than
If a vote were taken on any other plat
form
Mr.. Hewitt explained that the resolu-
ton was merely declaratory and did not
bind Mr.. Wren to vote for the election
call. Then Wren changed his vote and
the six councilmen present authorized
passage of the resolutions of intention.
