MAY FRAME A NEW
RESTAURANT ORDINANCE
Prosecuting Attorney and Health Off
GERS Have Difficulty Getting Con-
victIons Under the Present
City Law

The representatives of the prosecut-
ing attorneys office have come to the
conclusion that the present restaurant
ordinance does not thoroughly cover
ali questions that are constantly being
brought up, and 1t Is probable new
ordinance will be framed so 1t will be
possible to secure convictions under its
provisions.
Health officers have much difficulty
in obtaining convictions under the
present ordinance, owing to the diff
ferent interpretations of the restau-
rant ordinance by the police justices,
city prosecutor and district attorney.
The liquor dealers claim the health
board has no jurisdiction over their
free lunch counters. and will endeavor
to have the provision regarding these
lunch counters eliminated from the
new ordinance.
1t is said the proposed ordinance will
give the restaurant inspectors more
power over come backs" This pro-
vision is likely to cause more differ
enceS.

ATTORNEYS REST IN
OCEAN PARK CASE
MOTION TO SET INDICTMENT
ASIDE ovERRULEp
Trial of Man Charged with Illegal
Registration to Go to the Jury
Today--Many Witnesses
Examined

The prosecution in the trial of Dem
nett Childs, charged with illegal regis
tration at Ocean Park, rested its case
shortly after o'clock yesterday and
the attorneys for Childs, after q short
consultation, also rested. deciding to
offer no testimony in his behalf.
Arguments will begin at IL o'clock
this morning, each side being limited
to two hours. It is believed the prose-
cution will base their contention
against conviction on what they deem
the weakness of the testimony brought
in by the district attorneys office.
The motion made Wednesday to set
aside the Indictment against Childs
was argued during the noon recess yes
terday. This motion was based ON the
fact that the names of certain witt
nesses who gave testimony before the
grand jury did not appear on the In
dictment. which fact Attorney q. A.
Meserve for the defense, said this may
have been an oversight on the part of
those whose duty 1t was to see the
names appear, but in any event, he
declared, 1t was a fraud on the de-
PENDANT, who should not be deprived
OF the rights granted by the provisions
of the penal code.
Motion Made Too Late
Hartley Shaw. chief deputy district
attorney in charge of the prosecution,
responded. He said the motion came
too late and that the defense had not
shown how any injury occurred to
Childs by the facts that the names
were not placed on the Indictment.
The defense. he said, was merely SEEK
ing an opportunity to take advantage
of technical point.
Judge Conrey denied the motion and
In doing so said circumstances must
be extraordinary, indeed, before the
proceedings could be allowed to be
stopped at the point they had reached.
He believed the law did not contem-
plate such action.
Five witnesses were called by the
prosecution during the forenoon. All
are employees of the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company, and an effort
was made to prove by their testimony
that they had examined meters in the
Childs' residence at 927 Stanford av-
enue at time when Childs is said to
have been at Ocean Park Objections
to much of this testimony were sus-
| tanned.

EAL people are often transferred
X to the stage and many of them
~ are but thinly disguised, but sell
dom is it that living person is picked
UP bodily, name and all, put on stage
and then invited to see herself depicted
by another person. This unique ex-
perience befell Maggie Croke of Wales,
Mass, who one night in Brooklyn saw
another woman play Maggie Croke ~
Eagle Tavern" 1t does not detract
from the story, either. to admit that
fulness of the depletion that she ex-
claimed that she didn't know how big
a damn fool she was before"
Mrs. Andrews, who wrote Eagle
Tavern" lived in Wales, Mass. for
some time. 1t is the old home OF the
Andrews family for generations pack
and the Andrews homestead has been
occupied for four generations at ieas'
by the direct family. Wales Is a wooden
mills town, some distance off the rail-
road. and has connection with the reg
ular world only by stage coach. This
has preserved for 1t the old-time at
mosphere of stage coach days, and MRS
Andrews was so impressed by this at
mosphere that she was almost COM
PEELED to put 1t into a play.
In doing this she took the facts ano
people right from the actual charac-
ters about her, and thus retained the
actually of every scene. She put the
play together from incidents thai
passed under her personal observation
and the many episodes are true as Cos
pei. The stage coach, she says, she
has often seen gallop UP. just as 1t vii
in the play. and the old tavern keeper
that Fred Andrews will play still runs
the real Eagle tavern in Wales.
While she lived there Mrs. Andrews
picked up much of the dry Yankee
humor and wit, and the play is full o.
this. She took many notes during mel
summers there, and the result VIII o.

Paulsen and know what a goou-neart-
ed and noble fellow he is,' ana now
he is always doing something Tor tne
welfare OF his company. Capt Arcner
of company A made the presentation
at the request of Sergeant Paulsen.
Private Williams of company A gave
a monologue. which was very gooa

revised estimate places the cost of the

amount the state will pay one-half, the
