CHARGES POLICEMAN
BRUTALLY BEAT HIM
Zenon oropeza Declares Officer Said
He Had Orders to Kick "AII
Greasers"-Complant
Ignored

An astounding story of brutality on
ported by zenon Oropeza, citizen of
Los Angeles and a native born Ameri-
can. He also is president of the St.
Ygnatius Democratic club.
Oropeza yesterday told the following
story: "I am a fisherman and gener-
ally buy my fish in the early mornings.
Last night after had bought my days
supply 1 started home, and coming out
of the store at First and Los Angeles
street I saw a policeman standing on
the corner. looked at him a moment
and then started to pass on. What
are you looking at?' growled the police
man. l answered that L was looking
at him, but was on my way home.
Then he walked up to me and before
1 could demonstrate began to search
me. Not finding what he wanted he
began to kick me, saying at the time
that he had orders to kick all greas-
ers.' But l fail to see how that could
apply to me, as | am a native born
American and a citizen of this coun-
try.
Indignant at such treatment, went
Immediately to the police station and
complained stating at the time that
wished it to be considered a formal
complaint. Get out of here or I'll run
you in was all the satisfaction / re-
ceived from my complaint"
Oropeza failed to learn the number
of the patrolman who, he says, as
saulted him.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS R15:|A q
DESIRES TO SUPPRESS
FAKE SPIRITUALISTS
POLICE COMMISSION ASKED TO
FRAME ORDINANCE
Proposed Measure Would Prohibit
Fraudulent Advertising and Sep
arate Religious from Purely
Commercial Features

An ordinance that would entirely sup
press the taking spiritualist, modelled
on the ordinances of a similar nature
in force in Chicago and Portland, was
asked by the California State Spiritual
list association of the police commits
sion yesterday.
Robert M. Hale, president of the
Anti-Falxers society, and Mrs. Adah
Patterson, president of the State Spir-
itualist association, with several direc-
tors of both organizations, appeared be-
fore the police commission yesterday
and requested the adoption of the or
dinance.
By its terms the ordinance prohibits
any Person advertising in newspapers,
by dodgers, or In any other manner, to
cure disease, locate oil or gold or other
mines, reunite parted lovers, re-estab-
lish broken friendships or doing any
of the other numerous things these
mediums profess to do.
1t prohibits holding seances in the
name of spiritualism or any other re-
ligious organization. In fact, 1t en-
tirely separates the spiritualist religion
from the commercial features of the
takers.
The police commission could not de-
fine the line between the takers and the
religion and refused to take any action
on the ordinance, but at the request of
the mayor it was laid over for one
week to permit him to investigate.

DECIDES NOT TO APPOINT
LIEUT.. DIXON CAPTAIN
Police Commission, However, Extends
one-Year Limit of Time During
Which He May Stay on
Eligible List

In order to show the Spanish War
veterans that the police commission en-
tertained no hard feelings against
Lieut.. Dixon, and that his appointment
as captain was delayed through ques-
tion of policy and economy and not be-
cause of animosity, the police commits
sion yesterday voted to recommend to
the civil service commission that the
limit of time during which Lieut.. Dixon
may remain on the eligible list be eX-
tended one year.
Lieut.. Dixon is the one member of the
police department on the eligible list
for captain. By the death of Capt. w.
H. Auble he naturally inherits the cap
taincy, but the commission found that
two captains at the central station did
not get on we'll together, and that a
dearth of money in the treasury made
it inexpedient for Dixon to be named
captain at the higher salary. Under
the present circumstances the differ
ence between the lieutenant's and cap
tains salary is saved to the general
police budget.
Roosevelt camp No. g. United Vet
Grams of the Spanish War, of which
Lieut.. Dixon is a member, passed
resolutions asking the appointment of
Dixon to the captaincy The resolu-
tions were laid before the board yester-
day afternoon by a committee COM
posed of R. c. Mulqueeny, E. j. Louis
and b. A. Harbour.
AS soon as they were received the
board ordered the resolutions fled SO
quickly in fact that it made the heads of
the committee swim. But the mayor
softened the blow little by suggest
ing that the board ask the civil service
commission to extend the eligible time
of Lieut.. Dixon. The suggestion was
capried out. The commission ,has the
power to extend the time If it sees fit.

ACCUSED OF PASSING
FICTITIOUS CHECKS
Recent Newcomer from Chattanooga
Declares Failure of Home Bank
to Honor His Drafts Is
Mistake

Samuel A. Breeding, a young man of
Chattanooga, Tenn, was arrested last
night at 444 South Spring street by
Detectives Murray and Mccain on a
charge of passing fictitious checks.
Breeding came here from his southern
home three weeks ago, and at once
hunted up a number of old acquain-
tances from Tennessee.
He made himself agreeable and gave
them all the late news from Chatta-
nooga about mutual friends. Then a
few days ago he got = number of them
to cash or indorse checks for him
drawn on the First National bank of
Chattanooga.
Two checks one for $35 and another
for $25, were cashed at the Park bank,
where a boytime friend is assistant
cashier The checks came back
marked "no funds and a warrant for
Breeding's arrest was issued.
1t is alleged that a dozen other
checks for like amounts are in transit
between the two towns. Breeding
claims that the failure to honor his
drafts is a mistake, which will be ex-
planned
