MAY AMEND
ORDINANCE
CITY PROSECUTOR AFTER MEN
WHO BREAK LAW
JAIL SENTENCES PROMISED FOR
BucKETsHoP PATRONS
Plan Under Way to Make Violators
Serve Long Terms in Addition
TO Paying Heavy
Fines

Notwithstanding the efforts of alleged
bucketshop operators to restrain the dis
trict attorney, chief Of police and officers
os the city prosecutors office from In
terfering with their business by injunc-
ton proceedings. Prosecuting Attorney
Edward ]. Fleming is preparing an
amendment to the present bucketshop
ordinance The amendment provides fol-
a jail sentence OF thirty days for both
operators of bucket shops and the
players
The present ordinance does not pro-
vide a penalty for the man who plays
this game as a customer. 1t is the opinion
of the attorneys or the prosecutors office
that men will not patronize such places
that are being operated unlawfully when
they find jail sentence awaiting them II
they are caught.
II believe that any game where the
percentage is as high as one-fourth,' says
Prosecuting Attornt. Fleming, means a
fortune for the PEOPLE in charge.
I'm the bucket shops for every dollar
put in by a player on trade, 20 per cent
Is taken by he bucket shop In addition
10 that there are many opportunities that
present themselves to rob the player OF
the other Is per cent by delayed wire
service.
II have examined the laws OF the states
of Texas and Georgia. They provide for
straight Imprisonment, and the authori-
ties state 1t has resulted In all bucket
shop men discontinuirg business in the
states.
THE present bucket shop ordinance in
Los Angeles provides for a fine not ex-
ceding 800 or three months imprison-
ment, or both.
Eat the next meeting of the cit. coun-
ell an amendment to this ordinance will
be presented, providing for fine of moi
less than $500 or more than $1,000 and i'm
prisonment not esq than thirty days or
more than six months, or both fine and
imprisonment. A further amendment will
be presented providing the same punish
ment for the men who play tn game.
IF the bucket shops can be prevented
from doing business in other states, we
can surely keep them from it In Los An
geles."

HILL SECTION OWNERS ASK
FIRE LIMITS PRIVILEGES
Councilman Clampltt Arrays Himself
Against Chief Lips and Commits
sioners on Exclusion
Proposition

The old fight about excluding the Bun
ker Hill section from the fire limits Is
being renewed, Councilman e. A. Clam
pitt having decided to act in the council
Monday on behalf of the property owners
who want the privilege of erecting frame
structures on the hills In the section be-
tween Bunker Hill, First and Temple
streets. This embraces an area of about
twelve square blocks.
Sixty-two property owners, headed by
C. r. Parrish, all in Clampitts ward,
have asked that the section be excluded
from the strict fire laws so that Parrish
and others can improve their vacant lots
at once.
Chief Walker Lips and the fire COM
missioners have twice gone over the ter
ritory and are firm In the conviction that
such exclusion would be a mistake, as
the first big fire on the hills would
threaten the entire business district Of
Los Angeles.
Formerly there was a six-inch main
in the district; now there is a twelve
inch main. But this additional water
supply will not prevent the blowing Of
embers from burning buildings into the
lower section dotted with business houses
set closely together.
The fire board is inclined to favor ex-
tending the limits even farther west-as
far as Flgueroa street.

Granted

After pleading guilty to a charge OF
burglary George Barnett yesterday asked
Judge B. N. Smith to change the place

ANTI-SMOKE ORDINANCE
EFFECTIVE NEXT WEEK
Prohibits More Than Ten Minutes
Emission of Dense Clouds from
ChImneys During Any
One Hour

The new anti-snoke ordinance becomes
effective on January %, which date will
mark the end of smoky chimneys in Los
Angeles If the city's inspectors enforce
the law.
DR.. L. NJ Powers and the health de-
partment are making the fight solely on
the ground of health. they say. SCOT
settling down is inhaled by pedestrians
and others and produces throat troubles.
A ninety-day period of grace was given
so that all smoke producers would have
ample time to change their apparatus or
instruct their flremen into the art Of
proper firing. Most Of the fault, experts
say, is due to improper and careless feed
ing of the furnaces, boilers and steam
making plants.
1t is now proposed to add an amend
ment to the new law making stricter
provisions for stopping ashes and SCOT
which Sits down from tall chimneys
The Los Angeles law is patterned after
thore in the east and provides fine Of
500 or Imprisonment from five to 100 days
for each days violation. The limit of
smoke of a dense character allowable is
ten minutes ia any on5 hour.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT MEN
PROUD OF NEW UNIFORMS

Health department inspectors admitted
the charge that they were now very
popular with the ladies'" yesterday,
when they returned to headquarters at
night to make their reports
1t was their first day in their new
blue and gold and blue and white uni
forms and they presented stunning
appearance.
Their uniforms, of the same blue ma
terial as the patrolmen's outfits. are sur
mounted by a cap with visor of naval
pattern, or like German army officers
headgear.
Though many of the inspectors were
opposed to the uniform idea opposition
had faded away last night in most cases
and the utility and advantage of the
idea appears to be becoming more deeply
impressed.
The board members believe the uniform
will not only have tendency to make
the men more careful and conscientious
in their work, but it will inspire respect
for the officers among such residents as
are unfamiliar with the English lam
guage and customs 1t Is among foreign
ers largely that the work Of the health
inspectors lies.

plain That Well Meant Efforts
Have Not Been Taken

Preference for cheap Japanese labor is
declared to be the reason why packers
of fruit in Southern California are not
taking advantage of the offer of the AS
ISOLATED Charities to send pickers from
Los Angeles free of charge.
1--WE have any number of men on our
lists who are not of the tramp or hobo
variety" declared an officer of the society
yesterday "These we will send free OF
railroad charge to any fruit packer OF
ranch owner in Southern California,
These men need work and will be quick
TO learn and willing to work at as low
wages as Japanese. But it is said the
packers are using the brown men instead
Thus the Americans willing to do the
same work at the same prices and in a
much better way are Disseminated
against unjustly

fifty men the last four days"

The Mayor of Berlin.

One of the principal requirements of
mayor in Germany is unqualified hon.
esty, for in the municipal administra-
ton of Germany graft in any form
would not be tolerated. To become the
moyor of a city like Berlin the ap-
plicant must have established his repu-
tation for efficiency in governing other
German cities. His career is carefully
scrutinized by the members Of the
town council who select him, for not
only must he be competent and sue
cessfully perform the duties of his high
position, but still so young as likely to
remain competent for many years, for
mayor in Prussia is elected for a
term of twelve years and if not re-
elected after that period is entitled TO
a life pension of half the amount Of his
salary. After a service Of six years
his pension is one-fourth Of his salary
and after serving twenty years two
thirds. He need not necessarily be
resident of Berlin at the time Of his
appointment-in fact, the mayor is usu-
ally chosen from the residents of other
cities
