TURNS OYER
NEW PLANT.
wednesday Witnessed Machinery In
hester Mil In Motion For
First Time.

For the first time the machinery of the
new hester mill was turned over for a
try-out. From the starting to the
shutting down, everything worked to
perfection and made it manifest to the
owners that the outfit is one of the best
constructed in the country.
As it is with all plants of this nature
many little details are left undone until
after the try-out and during the past
few days the workmen have been en-
gagged in this work, which it is expected
will be entirely completed and the mill
started upon its seasons cutting Mon
day morning.

AS result of a meal at which toad

49, died yesterday afternoon at o'clock
at the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter F. Pinkerton, 2S171a Cen

covery.
The father and daughter were also
poisoned, but the latter suffered but
little and soon recovered. The father
was Ill for three days, but now is well.
The boys death, it is said, came as a
relief, for he had suffered extreme
agony during his two weeks of illness.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral, as the family is await

POOLROOM LAW IS
UPHELD BY COURT
SOUTH PASADENA ORDINANCE
DECLARED TO BE VALID
Judge Smith Renders Decision in
Which He Cites Billiard and
Pool Halls as Vicious
Resorts

The validity of the ordinance of
keeping of poolrooms within :he cor
porate limits of that city was yester-
day upheld by Judge B. N. Smith of
the superior court in a decision en- the
application of ]. l.. Murphy for a writ
of habeas corpus.
Murphy was arrested January IS,
charged with conducting a poolroom.
He contended that he had lawful
business and that, while the city may
regulate, it cannot prohibit it.
Judge Smith believes both conten-
tions are wrong, and says, while MUIR
phys attorneys cited many authori-
ties which hold that where a business
is not a nuisance it cannot be pro-
hibited, no authority could be found
which holds that such places as bill
lard halls and poolrooms may not be-
come a nuisance.
Our own state" says the court,
''has taken a different position upon
the police powers of municipalities and
holds that where business or occupa-
ton may become a nuisance it comes
within the police powers of the state
not only to regulate but to prohibit
it altogether. Our state has never
recognized the keeping of billiard
halls and poolrooms as a useful occu-
patton"
He cites authorities to show that
public billiard halls are regarded as
vicious in their tendencies, leading to
idleness, gambling and other vices.
I'm brief" says the court II think
it is well settled doctrine of this state
that municipalities have been vested
with powers commensurate with and
as broad as the state itself, and they
have a right to prohibit all occupations
which have a tendency to bad morals,
profigacy and idleness."
The ordinance. he says, is directed
against public places where billiard
halls are conducted; the exception, has
to do only with certain class of ho-
tells, but they are only for the use of
their guests.
The petition for a writ of habeas
corpus was dismissed and the defend
ant remanded to the custody of the
marshal of South Pasadena.

COURT DECISION INVALlDATES
ORDINANCE
JUDGE SMITH DECIDES PRoHIBI.
TIoN UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Cites but One Precedent, but Says
Right to Conduct Lawful Business
Is aIienable-EngInes May
Now Buzz

The city ordinance which provides
that 1t is unlawful for any person or
firm to erect factories within the city
limits without a permit from the board
of fire commissioners was yesterday
declared unconstitutional by Judge B.
N. Smith of the superior court.
The matter came up before Judge
Smith on an application for writ of
habeas corpus by A. c. McMurtrie,
general manager of the Talbot Con-
crete company, which has a plant In
East Los Angeles, In the river bot
tom.
McMurtrie was sentenced in the po-
lice court on January 30 to pay a fine
of 500 or serve twenty days in jail
because he placed a gasoline engine In
the factory.
"The proposition" says the court,
"opens up a large field Of discussion,
and 1 have examined authorities SUBJ
mitted to some extent, and, while
there is but one decision, there are
general proposintions lying at their
foundation which may guide us in de-
terrnining the question. That a man
has the inalienable right to pursue all
lawful occupations and to engage in
all lawful business so long as he does
not interfere with the rights of his
neighbors is a truism as old as the
common law"
Reviewing the main contentious of
the defendant, that the ordinance is
unconstitutional because it vests in the
board of fire commissioners the abso-
lutte power to say whether he shall en-
gage in a lawful and useful business
and one that is not a nuisance and
without evil tendencies, the court con-
tinues:
Contrary to Principles
ut is certainly contrary to the fun
damental principles of our government
and the citizens thereof, as guaran-
teed by the federal constitution, for a
citizen to depend upon the will of any
man or set of men or officers for his
right to embark in a lawful and USE
full business. So far as 1 am able to
ascertain from our authorities the
trend of the same Is against the va
lidity of the ordinance"
The city council, says the court has
a right to regulate all places of busi-
ness named in the ordinance so long
as such regulation Is reasonable and
deals with the particular business or
occupation legislated upon and applies
to all similarly situated. The ordi-
nance, he says, makes no provisions
| whatever for any conditions or terms,
restrictions or otherwise, but abso-
| lutely places 1t in the Will or the Doaru
of fire commissioners to say whether
| the defendant shall conduct his busi-
| ness there or not.
| 1t will be observed that the ordinance
covers the whole city of Los Angeles
There are places in the city that pos
| sibly are half mile to a mile from
any house where business of this kind
| Is carried on to great advantage, and
yet II the board of fire commissioners
should say no a man would have nc
redress or appeal, and 1t would

BOYS HOME LEASES
STEPHEN WHITE PLACE
Headquarters of Institution. Conducted
by Mrs. C. M. Vance Now in Better
Quarters and Nearer Busi-
ness Center

+ The boys home, conducted by Mrs.
c. M. Vance at 53S Trinity street, was
yesterday removed to the old Stephen
White place, at 1869 South Main street.
The new location is better in many re-
spects than the old home, being nearer
the business part Of the city and more
commodious.
Mrs. Vance now has twenty-five
sturdy youngsters in the home, seven
teen OF whom are employed In business
houses in the city. while five are un-
able to find work. During the last two
months a daily average of six boys
have been unable to work because of
illness, and the additional expense of
this has been quite a burden to the
little woman, who is regarded by her
proteges in the same light as mother.
