The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because it's component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with Its
excellent combination Of Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for it's remarkable
success.
That Is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co..
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists Price fifty cents per bottle.

COURT FREES scHMITz.
Trial Court Reversed by Court of
Appeals.

San Francisco-"Thej judgment and
order are reversed and the trial court
is directed to sustain the demurrer to
the indictment and discharge the de
Tenant as to such indictment"
This was the decision handed down
by the district court of appeals re-
versing the judgment of the trial court
in the case of former Mayor Eugene
H. Schmitz, sentenced to five years in
San Quentin on the charge of holding
up" French restaurants in the matter
OF liquor licenses, and setting aside
the indictment on which his conviction
was had. The trial was made notable
by the appearance Oh Abraham Ruef,
the political dictator, who controlled
the municipal administration and prac
tically placed Schmltz in office, as q
witness against the mayor, testifying
that he had paid to him as his share
$500 of the $4,000 received by Ruef
from the French restaurants in order
that Schmitz would permit the board
of police commissioners to issue liquor
licenses to them. Ruef had, previous
to tnis, dramatically pleaded guilty to
the same charge, at the same time
making the enigmatical statement that
he was innocent
On the ground that the indictment
did not show that public offense was
committed because it did not allege
any threat to injure property, the
court holding that a liquor license was
not property, but mere permission
: that a threat to prevent the obtaining
of liquor license by one who had ne
authority in the premises did not con
| stitute threat against property; ant
| because of numerous errors in the rul
: ing of the trial judge-Superior Judg,

: held that the indictment was invalit

Chase

When Patrolman Gilpin arrested
Harry Hays, II years old, yesterday,
one of three boys who appeared to be
distributing advertising cards, he little
thought that evidence would be found
on Hays which, points to him as a
shoplifter.
When Hays was searched at central

and holster. several empty pocketboolSs.

other loot was found
A charge of carrying concealed
weapons was placed against him tenn
porarily, while Gilpin went out in
search of the other. two boys and their
rooms, where it is thought quantities
of goods stolen from dry goods stores
will be found.
1t is thought the boys used the ad-
vertising cards in different stores as
blind to cover their thefts. When
the officer came upon the boys at
Fifth and Broadway they were dipping
the cards about the sidewalk. Hays,
who was the Oldest and appeared to
be the leader, was the only one ar
rested.
AS the officer was leading him to
a street car Hays managed to place a
woman between himself and Gilpin as
he mounted the steps. Quick as flash
he leaped over the opposite rail and
ran up Broadway. At Sixth and Broad

the skeleton, accompanied by the owner
and several ranch hands, and decided
that the remains were related to the

MEMBERS STILL UNDECIDED
IN SELECTION OF PASTOR
Two Named to Take Pulpit Left Va
cant by Promotion Of Rev. Robert
McIntyre-WilI Call An
other Meeting

AT the meeting of the official board of
the First Methodist church last night it
was still question whether Rev. Matt
Hughes or Rev. Charles E. Lock will
be called to the pastorate of the First
church,> which has been made vacant
by the election of Rev. Robert McIn-
tyre to the episcopacy.
1t Is said by prominent members that
either Rev. Mr.. Hughes or Rev. Mr..
Lock would be acceptable. Rev. Mr..
Hughes is pastor of the Independent
Avenue church, Kansas City, one of the
most prominent churches of that state.
1t was this clergyman who preached
the dedicatory sermon of the local
First church, so that he is not un-
known in Los Angeles Rev. Charles
Lock Is equally prominent, and also
pastor of large church. 1t was he
who laid the corner stone for the local
church. Both of these prominent cler-
,gymen seem to be intimately connected
with the history of the First church of
Los Angeles, and have many staunch
friends here.
Another meeting of the board will be
called In the near future, when the
subject of new pastor will be dis
cussed
