WOMAN INDIAN AGENT
PRAISES HER CHARGES

Miss Clara True of Banning, an In
dian agent widely known for her Off
cial work among the Mission Indians
in California, arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday on a federal mission.
Chief Special Agent w. e. johnson
of Salt Lake met her at the Hollenbeck
and later they called at the govern
ment land office.
Miss True says that there has been
a marked improvement among the In
dians in the past year since the gov
ernment had effectually banished
liquor after recent prosecutions.
1.-The ranchers who used their SER
vices were In a state of unrest every
season because they did not know II
they could depend on the Indians If
any liquor reached their vicinity" said
Miss True.
Now 1t is different. The Indians are
reliable.
There have been two fiestas lately
and each was carried out In an orderly,
way compared to previous years. That
of Soboba, near San Jacinto, in Agent
Stanley's district, and the other the
Morongo fiesta, in my district, were
both we'll carried out"

GRANTED LIQUOR LICENSE
OVER MAYORS OBJECTION

In spite of protests of the mayor the
police commission yesterday granted
Charles Oliver of 305 Hewitt street a
restaurant liquor license. The mayors s
protest was based on the fact that the
Canadian hotel. which is located at 305
Hewitt street, had caused the police a
great deal of trouble.
The police also objected because there
was an application from c. H. Taylor
for a similar license at 731 East Third
street. These two places are but 200
feet apart, and the mayor did not be-
lieve ii was good policy to grant IL
censes so close together. Both licenses
We're granted by the commission.

PALMlsT GETS HIS PERMIT,
AS HE MAKES BUT ONE MORE

Now don't you believe palmistry is
largely matter of faith?" softly asked
Mayor Harper of c. II. Dare, who ap-
piled to the police commission yester-
day afternoon for a permit to practice
palmistry.
Mr.. Dare was visibly embarrassed,
but managed to stutter that it was not
matter of faith as he practiced it.
"Oh. well, as there are so many of
you people in town I don't suppose it
will matter much If another enters the
field" answered the mayor. and in this
manner the applicant got his permit.
