tale, and Fairy Wishes Nowadays" D."
Miss Jacobus began her career as an
interpreter of fairy tales at the Po-
mona library, where she devoted an
hour of the day to instructing the little
ones in an entertaining manner. Her
personality is simple and sincere, two
attributes which appeal strongly to the
child heart.
During the intermission between sto-
ries the children marched to musical
accompaniment. One small boy wan
dered from the flock and was dscov-
cred by the janitor, who learned his
name and, locating his anxious mother,
inquired: Are you short any chill
dren?"
Miss Jacobus was assisted by Mrs. j.
B. Lippincott and the Misses Whitlock,
Valley, Maria Valley and Dickinson.
Among the juvenile audience were Car
oline Helen Susan Wright, Elizabeth

LOSES PERMIT TO
SMALL COMPETITOR
CHAUFFEUR oUTWITs OWNER
OF FOUR MACHINES
Attorney Asks Board to Adjust Diff
Guilty Between Restaurateur and
Man Who Won Stand
Privilege

Attorney Walter Haas made plea
to the police board yesterday in behalf
of S. Black, proprietor of the Del Rey
restaurant who failed to get an auto
stand permit in front of his place OF
business, 30S South Spring street,
though he claims TO have $2O,OOO IN
vested in the horseless machines.
Black says he has been attending the
meetings of the board recently to put
in his claim at the proper time, but
on the evening when the permits were
ell granted he was absent, and Com
missioner Woodill suggested that the
permit be given to the Lowell -Beggs
company, and the one machine firm
got it.
The stand is between the Del Rey
ana the Louvre, a block in which nine
teen persons scrambled for the six per-
mits which the board could only parcel
out in each block under the new or
dinance.
Haas told the board that Black had
offered to pay the Lowell -Beggs people
$3.50 for their permit and to turn over
all overflow business to them, but this
was declined
Commissioner Woodill remarked that
he would use his good offices to see
whether a compromise could not be
reached, and this seemed to be the only
satisfactory solution, as the board had
no legal grounds on which to revoke
the permit.

charter is excellent in nearly all its
features and requires amendments only
in few matters, which would taVor'
such as redistrictlng and increasing
the wards or electing councilmen at
large after first reasonably reducing
the percentage for a recall.
'I regard the recall as perhaps the
most valuable feature of any munich
pal charter and would place that ABOVE
the manner of electing councilmen.
"I would have favored amendments
granting the city attorney the initia-
tive power to commence and prose-
cute actions to protect the streets and
other public property of the city, also
to provide for direct nominations of
officers upon petition, and to author
ize the city to make harbor improve
ments, construct waterways and rail-
roads and also to prevent the city
council from disposing of any port or
leasing of the water system, river bed
or other property of the city without
being authorized by three-fifths vote
as is required for the issuance of bonds.
Il also would favor denying fran
chises for telephones, electric lines and
perhaps other franchises upon any
street where opposed by a majority
of the owners upon the street.
However, as I feel that I am not in
harmony with the majority of the COM
mission I desire to withdraw. and
therefore herewith tender my resigna-
tion as a member of tie commission,
to take effect upon receipt of this let
ter.

Charge Against C. T. Hanson Dis
missed When Case Comes to
Trial in Police
Court

A verdict of not guilty was returned
yesterday afternoon in Police Justice
Roses court by the jury in the case OF
G. T. Hanson, charged with maintain
ing a public nuisance by operating an
animal reduction plant on Edwin street.
Nearly one hundred witnesses had
been summoned by the defense, but
only about twenty of them testified.
Among those called who were not used
were Mayor Harper, the city council
and the members of the board of public
works.
There were several amusing incidents
curing the testimony of some of the
witnesses. One man, a witness for the
defense, on direct examination, stated
he had never been able to detect any
foul odor in the vicinity of the plant.
But upon being cross examined adj
mitted he had lost his sense of smell
several years ago.
A number of witnesses for the prose-
oution testified they We're made i'll by
the odors from the crematory and were
continually paying drug bills.
owen McAleer, former mayor of Los
Angeles, was the main witness for the
defense.

FIFTH STREET
BUYS CENTRAL
MONSTER STOCK GOES TO LOCAL
DEPARTMENT STORE
HALF MILLION OF GOODS BRINGS
HALF PRICE
Los Angeles Concern Completes with
Bio Eastern Dealers and Se-
cures Bright, New
Goods

The stock of the Central department
store, which has been in the bank
ruptcy courts for several months, was
yesterday purchased by the Fifth
Street department store. The deal ap-
proximates half a million in merchan-
disc and was purchased for about 90
cents on the dollar.
The proprietors of the Fifth street
store intend to move the stock of the
Central department store into their
own building corner of Fifth and
Broadway and as soon as they can
arrange it will place the goods on sale
at about half their former retail price.
They expect to begin this sale some
time next week.
Purchase of this big stock was made
by the Fifth street store yesterday
afternoon before Referee in Bankruptcy
Lynn Helm through an agent, who did
not let it be known that he was bid
ding for a local concern. Represen-
tatives of big eastern firms, including
that of John Wanamaker of Phila-
delphia, contested for the stock, and
the fact that they were outbid by a
local firm is a strong argument in ia
vor of financial conditions in Los An
geles. The condition of the money
market at the present prevented even
the big eastern firms from Offering the
price that the Fifth street store, with
it's hundreds of thousands of ready
money, was able to offer.
]. w. Eceleston, manager of the
Fifth street store, said last night, after
the purchase had been completed:
Il do not believe there has been
sale of such magnitude on the Pacific
coast before. The financial furry
scarcely touched us, and we were able
to offer a cash price that made our
competitors gasp although we secured
this stock at about so cents on the dol
lar. The Central department store has
been in business less than year. and
the stock is all fresh and new. There
is not a shop-worn article in it. Our
customers will be given the advantage
of the price at which we purchased
these goods, and next week we will
inaugurate monster SALE
The fixtures of the Central depart
ment store were also purchased by the
Fifth street store. The sale of the
stock does not include the lease, which
still is in the hands of the trustees.
