AGENT
PAYS BIG FINE
A. B. GREENEWALD ASSESSED
$500 BY JUSTICE
Clerk Arrested on Same Charge Re-
leased on Representation That
He Sold Tickets to Save
Position

A. B. Greenewald, proprietor of
cigar store on Spring street near First,
was fined $500 by Police Justice Rose
yesterday morning after entering a
plea of guilty to a charge of violating
the state lottery law.
He paid the fine and left the court
room with his clerk, L. A. White. who
also was charged with a similar Of
Tense. but who was discharged on the
recommendation of Deputy District
Attorney Paul Mccormick. It was
learned that White did not want to
sell the lottery tickets, but was conf
PEELED to do so in order to hold his
position The district attorney stated
these facts to the justice. White was
allowed to go, but was warned by the
court that a repetition of the offense
would result in severe punishment.
Greenewald was arrested again as he
was leaving the police court and taken
before Justice Selph, where he pleaded
guilty to a charge of selling lottery
tickets and fined 5000. This amount
was recommended by Deputy District
Attorney Paul Mccormick.

DOG LICENSES INCREASE
WITH PASADENA SYSTEM
Fifteen Sold Yesterday as Against a
Daily Average of Two Few
Weeks Aeo-Vaehers
Last Report

Dog Catcher Vacher yesterday filed
the last report with the city council he
will ever file as dog catcher. 1t showed
that during October and November he
had killed but forty-eight dogs, as
against the 800 and 700 he used to kill
each month in the days before the agi-
tation against the obsolete methods of
the dog pound.
One noticeable change from the old
methods to the new is the great num-
Der of dog licenses now being issued by
the city clerk. Two or three weeks
ago two licenses a day was a good
average. Yesterday fifteen licenses
were issued by License Clerk LOWE,
and the daily average has ben increas-
ing every day this week.
This is in spite of the fact that the
Humane Animal league has hardly be-
gun its operations.
The contract between the city and
the league was not signed until last
Thursday morning, and the days since
have been more in the nature of prepa-
ration for the work the league under
takes.
Under the new system the owners of
dogs must secure licenses or be liable
to a fine in police court for misde-
meanor And after they pay their fines
they must secure the license or be liza
BILE to another fine.
There will be no punishment of dogs
because their owners do not comply
with the law. The lawless owner will
be the one to suffer.
When homeless and friendless dogs
are found they will be taken to the
pound the Humane Animal league has
prepared, treated humanely and given
to some one who will provide a good
home. If they are such worthless ours
no one wants them, they will be killed.

PUBLIC FOUNTAINS NOT
TO BEAR ADVERTISEMENTS
Patentee of Water Slot Machine Will
slqn Contract Agreeing Not
to Use Machines for
Display

When r. A. McCracken, who Mon
day was granted permit revocable
at will to place drinking water foun-
tains on the public streets, appears be-
fore the board of public works to sign
the contract, the board will insist that
a clause be placed in the agreement
prohibiting the pasting of advertise
ments on the fountains.
McCracken will readily sign the con-
tract with this clause, as ne declares
it is his object to maintain only artis-
tic objects as drinking fountains. This
does away with one of the mayors
chief objections, expressed in his veto,
that there was nothing to prevent
placing ads on thees machines.
In connection with this machine Nc
Cracker has a patented device mat is
what slot machine men have been
looking for many years. 1t is a chang
ing mechanism that will give a drink
of water and four pennies when a
nickel is inserted in the slot and in
the same manner will change a dime.
He is the sole owner of this patent,
and in addition to placing them on his
drinking fountains, will probably lease
this changing device to other slot ma
chine makers.
The fountains will provide a glass OF
ice water for one cent and unice1 water
can be secured in any quantity without
cost

CHARTER COMMITTEE

PETITIONS DEFICIENCY MORE

Work of Checking Names Probably

May Call Election for
December

The last supplementary petition for
the charter revision was filed with the
city clerk yesterday and the names on
1t Will more than make up the def
cheney in the first petition submitted.
The charter revision committee has
been filing supplementary petitions for
several days and the city clerk began
Monday the work of checking them up.
The total of the supplements contain
2200 names, just twice the number,
should all prove to be qualified electors,
than the first petition was deficient.
The first petition submitted contained
about $4,000 names, but only II ,013 were
found to be genuine signatures of quail
fled electors and the petition was shy
HOO names. AS no machinery was pro-
vided in the constitutional amendment
under which the petition was filed the
city attorney held the charter revision
committee had all the time it wanted
to file additional names and that when
sufficient signatures were secured it
was the duty of the city council to call
a special election to place the proposed
amendments before the people. The
checking up process will probably be
completed by Monday and the matter
laid before the council.
Should the council take. immediate
action and call an election as soon as
it can under the law it will be possible
to ratify the amendments and place
them before the legislature for adoption
at. it's session in January
These amendments relate chiefly to
the consolidation of Los Angeles with
contiguous cities and to the San Pedro
harbor, giving the city power to con-
struct and maintain municipal wharves,
railways and other machinery incident
to free harbor.

several employees on the aqueduct as
deputy oil inspectors. They will serve
in this capacity without pay, as they
are now on the aqueduct pay rolls for
other services they render.
These appointments are asked be-
cause the aQueduct is using an increas-

products and is receiving some material
of inferior grade through the fact that
it is impossible for the city oil in

FIRE HOSE PURCHASE
IS IN GRAVE MIDDLE
K0LFF THREATENS DISCL0-
SURES TO GRAND JURY
Supply Committee Hesitates to Accept
Lowest Bid, Although Hose
Meets Specifications and
Is Guaranteed

The purchase of the Il, 900 feet of fire
hose which win cost $4,000 or $1,000
according to the bid accepted, is pre-
senting a middle that may end in the
courts. ]. c. Kolff, member of the hre
commission, yesterday declared he be-
lieyed the fire commission should re-
sign and go before the grand jury and
tell that body what it knows, or rather
believes it knows, about the purchase
of fire hose.
Last Monday thirteen bids were
opened by the council for the $4,000 feet
of hose. These bids ranged all the
way from IS cents to 81 a foot. Three
bids were disqualified for irregularl-
ties. The 5S-cent hose is the kind used
in some branches of the fire depart
ment. 1t is the kind purchased last
and no complaint has been maze
against it. 1t carries guarantee TO
last as long as the specifications say
it must and to the interested by
ISLANDERS appears to meet all the re-
quirements of the specifications. AS
sistant City Attorney Wilson told the
supply committee yesterday that under
the advertisement the bid for 5S cents
would have to be accepted If any OF the
ten good bids we're considered
But the supply committee appears to
have the idea that good hose cannot be
sold for IS cents, in spite OF the 1act
it is guaranteed TO conform to speciila-
tions and the Bowers Rubber company
of San Francisco, which offers the
5S-cent hose, is willing to stand the
test on every section of hose pur-
chased. Under the guarantee, should
the hose not last the length OF time
specified it would only be necessary
to return it to the factory and get new
hose.
May Reject All Bids
The supply committee, after linger-
ing long over the bids submitted, de-
cided to take them under considera-
ton until next Monday when they VIII
be submitted to the council. Hereto
fore in the purchase of fire hose it has
been customary to refer the matter to
the fire commission for recommends
ton.
Because this was not done, Fire Com
missioner Kolff declared yesterday he
and his colleagues had been grossly in
suited and darkly limited that the coun-
Gil had an object in keeping the mat
ter out of the hands of the fire com
mission. He very frankly declared he
conceived it the duty of the fire COM
mission to resent this insult by hand-
ing in it's resignation as body, ana
said he believed the grand jury would
be interested in some disclosures the
commissioners could make in the mat
ter of past purchases of hose.
Under the ruling of the city attorney
it appears there is nothing for the
city council to do If it does not wish
to purchase the 5S-cent hose but to re-
ject all bids.
