PROVISIONS TOO STRICT
FOR THE SUPERVISORS
Board by District Attorney, but
After Discussion the Mat
ter Is Laid Over

The district attorney presented to the
board of supervisors yesterday draft
of the new county ordinance for the
regulation of poolrooms outside of in
corporated cities and towns. After con-
sulting the ordinance the board re-
ferred it back to the district attorney
for amendments.
Some of the provisions proposed were
copied from the best ordinances OF
cities which have tested the questions
involved. They were too strict, how
ever, for the board.
The main point involved arises in
the matter of discretion of the board
to refuse license for a poolroom to
any person whom the board feels JUS
titled in refusing.
A provision requiring the consent of
adjacent property owners for the estab-
fishing of a poolroom was cut out OF
the ordinance.
The provisions agreed upon by the
board to be incorporated In the new
ordinance are; That poolrooms shall
be closed from midnight to a. M. that
no boy under the age Of IS years shall
be admitted; that the poolrooms shall
be closed Sundays; that there shall be
no disorderly persons admitted, and
that no liquor shall be given away oil
drank on the premises.

INVESTMENT COMPANY
DOUBLES ITS CAPITAL
PREPARES FOR GREAT BOOM
OF CITY NEXT FALL
Officers Declare New Era Close at
Hand VIII Be the Most Pro-
pitious in History of
Los Angeles

At the annual meeting of the Los
Angeles Investment company last
evening the capital stock of the corpo-
ration was increased to $25OO,OOO
which is almost double its former
capitalization.
This latest step on the part of the
Los Angeles Investment company, SAID
to be the largest builders of homes IN
the world, was prompted by the re-
markable increase in business since
the beginning of the year. Officers OF
the company express the opinion that
Los Angeles is on the verge of the
greatest boom in its history, a boom
which will commence as soon as the
summer months are over. In expecta-
ton of the coming activity, creating
as a consequence All enormous demand
for buildings, the investment company
has taken time by the forelock by
increasing its capital to almost double.
1t now has about $500 900 In paid up
capital and surplus. By increasing
this capital it is expected the stock.
which will be sold at a premium of
1876 per cent or more, will give the
company at least $5,000,000 in capital
and surplus. This move expresses the
faith of a company which has grown
up with Los Angeles.
Last Annual Report
In it's last annual report issued only
a few weeks ago, the Los Angeles In
vestment company showed in resources
that it had 81 ,652 904, in net assets 81,

conference in this city, when asked to-
day his views concerning the outcome
of the primaries held in Alabama yes
terday where he secured an apparent
victory for the control of the national
delegation at Denver convention, said:
Alabama was claimed by the oppo-
sition, and while the vote Is not sur

cause the returns answered the mis-
representations which had been sent
out. The primary system enables the
voters to express themselves. In TINS
respect our Democrats in the west nave
had an advantage over the Democrats
of some of the eastern states, Where
the method of selecting delegates does
not give the rank and file of the party
such complete control"
Continuing, Mr.. Bryan said: L ap-
preciate very much the fight that has
been made by my friends In Pennsyl-
yania and in Alabama, for in Alabama

In Pennsylvania they had not only the
steel trust, but several other trusts;

state in which our people had so much
to overcome as they had in Pennsyl-

at the recent primaries answered the
misrepresentations that the eastern pa
