MUNICIPAL AffA|RS||k q e.! Il |
MEN MAKE
FIGHT ON BACkUS
FEAR OF PANIC URGED AS
ALWAYS PRESENT
Council viii Let Special Committee
Report Solution of Exit and Aisle
Problem for Ten-Cent
Theaters

For half hour yesterday the coun-
Gil discussed restrictions for public
safety to be applied to the moving
picture theaters in Los Angeles, OF
which there are a score.
Building Superintendent ]. j. Backus
has insisted on the ordinance being
enforced and the theater men have
made a personal fight on him.
AS Councilman A. j. Wallace re-
marked the position Of the council was
not that it desired to do injustice to
business interests already established
but that 1t was charged also with the
safety of the people who patronized
these places. Both interests must be
considered.
He and others pointed out that, even
if the overhead rooms containing the
machine apparatus were made fire
proof the danger from panic was still
present. If a flash of fire were to be
noticed in the dark room the specta-
tors would be likely to rush pellmell
for the exits, of which in these places
there are few.
The new ordinance will Insist on
alley as we'll as front exits. This
will put three OF the older theaters out
of business and because of this the
owners are keeping an active lobby at
work.
Councilman Dromgold, Clampitt and
Yonkin, as special committee, will
report on the situation in a week or
two.

HELPS CITY IN GETTING
LICENSE PERMIT MONEYS
Council Amends Ordinances Governing
Employment Agents, District Mes
sengers, Palmists and For
tune TeIIers

Under an amendment passed yester-
day by the city council the chances of
the municipality losing the amount of
license moneys due from employment
agencies, palmists. mediums and mes
sengers will be reduced.
City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt pre-
scented draft of an ordinance amend
ing section of ordinance No. 1921
new series) relating to the granting
of permits to employment agencies by
the police commissioners.
The section referred to is in effect
at present and provides that no per-
nit shall be granted by the police
commissioners for longer than one
year. Considerable difficulty is ex-
perienced in the collection of licenses
from these AGENCIES because of the
expiration of these permits, as the
permit is revocable for cause. There
would seem to be no reason, Mr.. HeW-
lit says, why such permit should not
remain in force until revoked for
cause. The amendment presented
eliminates the clause from the ordin-
ance amended providing that the per-
mits shall not be granted for greater
period than one year.
Similar action was taken on advice
of the legal department in regard to
the granting of permits to district
messengers before issuing licenses and
for those engaged in fortune telling.

The Farmers Wife

IA very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
1t sun bath to sweeten 1t. She knows
that If her churn IS sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn In the stomach and digestive
and nutritlve tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that If this stomach-churn is foul 1t
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil OF a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste In the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination OF disease throughout the body.
DR.. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-a bsolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way 1t cures botches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulouS swelings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
bumors or diseases arising from bad blood.
II you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom.
ach, conStlpated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from bliouSness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sell
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been skillfully and tremendously
combined in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction

NEWS OF TH[ C0uRTSIi IIIEl
SNYDER BOUND OVER
TO SUPERIOR COURT
WITNESSES TESTIFY AS TO
TELEGRAMS SENT
Stanley Identifies Various Messages
Produced in Evidence, and Edna
Spring Watches Proceedings
with Intense Interest

Virgil Leslie Snyder, charged with
sending forged kilograms to Thomas ].
Stanley, mayor, postmaster and promi-
nent business man of Manzanola, Colo,
which induced the latter to come to Call
ifornia so that a civil process might be
served on him, was given his prelim-
mary hearing in Justice Selphs court
yesterday afternoon and held to answer
in the superior court in bonds of $4,000.
Stanley took the stand and identified
the kilograms which are held as evil
dence against the accused man. He
testified he came to California after
having received the messages which, he
supposed, were sent by Mrs. Pendleton
and conveyed the information that his
father-in-law, j. B. Pendleton, was
critically i'll. He declared the supposed
sick man was in good health and adj
mitted him to the house upon his ar
rival.
C. F. Reynolds, agent and operator
for the Southern Pacific company at
Dolgeville, identified Snyder as the man
who sent the alleged forged kilograms.
The messages in question were shown
to him and identified as the ones writ
ten and sent by Snyder.
w. 1. Butterfield, an operator at
Dolgeville, was unable to identity Sny-
der positively, but stated the person
who sent the messages transmitted by
the witness had the same general APP
pearance as the defendant. He said he
questioned Snyder as to the latter's
right to receive messages addressed TO
Mrs J. B. Pendleton, and Snyder told
him he was her son.
Mrs. ]. B. Pendleton testified she had
lived at Shorb, near Dolgeville, for the
last ten years and there were no other
persons other than members of her
family living in that locality. She stat
ed she never sent the messages signed
with her name and said the signature
to them was not hers.
At the conclusion of her testimony
the state rested. The defendant offered
no testimony and submitted the case.
Justice Selph held Snyder to answer
in the superior court.
Miss Edna Spring, with whom the de-
PENDANT eloped from Cotton short time
ago and whose romantic adventure was
most automatically interrupted when
Snyder was arrested in Nevada. occu-
pied a seat in the crowded court room
and eagerly listened to the statements
of the witnesses. She maintained
calm demeanor, but seemed deeply in
terested in the court proceedings.

Talamantes bought the land under the

an affidavit of contest, claiming that ne
had settled on the land October %, 1905.

CHILD LABOR GREAT
CURSE, SAYS MOORE
Superintendent DISCUSSES
PROBLEMS OF SCHOOLS
Head of Department Declares Politics
Should BE obliterated " Best
Results Are to BE
Obtained

Child labor is one of the greatest
curses in existence. 1t ought to be the
object of all good people to obliterate
this great evil. The age limit should
be raised to 16 years at least
Such were the utterances of Superin-
tendent e. G. Moore yesterday at the
meeting of the Methodist ministers on
Morals in the Public Schools"
Politics should be entirely obliterat-
ed from the control of the public
Schools said Superintendent Moore.
The buying of positions In the schools
schools should be free from all belit-
ting influences.
I'm early times the church controlled
the teaching OF the public schools, but
now 1t Is a secular movement. The
state Is now as responsible as the
church. 1t is the business of the state
to lift up the morals OF the public
schools.
"A man may not be able to make
living, but the state provides for his
immediate wants. but II his moral
character is bad the state has the same
right to check him in his career.
Child Needs Something to Do
1.-THE best thing for a child is to have
something to do that interests him
instead of running the streets with
gang of unruly boys.
THE 10000 quarrels of the children
every little while are placed upon the
superintendent as the sole one to blame
Now, IL the parents and children could
be made to think that they were to
blame a part of the time 1t would be
much easier to manage these difficult
ties.
I'VE have four truant schools in Los
Angeles in which to teach the boys
who cannot be handled In the regular
schools. In evidence of the efficient
handling and teaching of these boys
the record shows an average attendance
of 1914 per cent.
MANY boys have been started on
the way to the reform school when
they should have been attending the
public schools. For those who are slow
er than others in their studies, we
have twenty-six ungraded schools.
Everything considered, we have the
best teaching force In the United States,
but the teachers should be better paid
for their services. Their education has
cost them much and they are important
factors in moralizing the schools.
"a teacher should be religious, but
the Bible Is ruled out OF the schools
according to law. II allowed to be
used In the public schools, should II be
the Catholic, Jewish or the Protestant?
should favor universal Bible"

BAKERS NOT TOLD
LICENSES WERE DUE
AUDITOR MUSHET POINTS OUT
CITY'S CARELESSNESS
Thousands of Dollars Lost Because
Municipal Agents Do Not
Enforce Collection of
Revenues

Though absent from Los Angeles on
two weeks leave, Auditor w. G. Mu-
shet left a letter which was read 70
the city council yesterday calling at
tention to further remissness in col
lecting licenses through which the
municipality loses thousands OF dollars
annually.
Special Agent w. E. Tribit. a former
newspaper man, discovered that the
same neglect which has characterized
the collection of licenses from insur-
ance men prevails among the bakeries.
Auditor w. C. Mushet cites few
typical cases thus:
IA, Permit for bakery granted jan
uary 16, 1900 No license taken out;
"B. This firm has operated a bakery
for eighteen months without license
No collector has ever called.
&C. Never asked to pay license;
thought permit all that was necessary
"D. No permit or license; has been
in business for years. Never told ne
must pay bakery license.
"F. Established twelve years; has
two stores which retail bread. Ques-
ton as to whether he Is not also a
wholesaler and subject to the hlgher
rate.
sc. Has permit and license; buys his
bread from F. who claims to 90 a
retail business only.
"H. Established one year. NO col
lector ever called.
at. Notified by policeman to gel
license. No collector ever called.
~. Established two years. Who!e-
sale baker. Has permit. Notified by
bakery inspector of health department
to get license. Has no license. Col
lector called two months ago and has
not been back since.
tx. Next day last named u paid
city $50 arrearages.
al. Established wholesale doughnut
bakery about eighteen months. TOOK
out permit April last. No license.
IN. Wholesale and retailing since
January /, 1908. Held up by police Of
ficer for license. Took out license for
three months. $1.50, instead of six
months $50.
"These cases." says Auditor Mushet'
"emphasize the statement made by
me a. week ago that there is no ade-
quate supervision or inspection under
the present disregard to the city's
ordinances"
Action was deferred until Auditor
Mushets return, Councilman Henry
Lyon remarking that the police depart
ment, not the council, should be
blamed, as the police are license in
spectors under the law.

MUSHET'S CHIEF AID
GETS RAISE IN SALARY

City Auditors Deputy B. F. Nc
Louth is one of the really fortunate
men now in the city's employ.
The city council voted him an in
crease of salary yesterday from $125
a month to $3.50 a month.
Some time ago Auditor Mushet. who
has for eighteen months been re-
trenching expenditures in all city de-
partments advocated an increase for
his efficient deputy. The raise" will
be effective after July 1, when the new
fiscal year opens.

CUT COST OF PRINTING
STREET WORK NOTICES

Posting of notices of street work
will cost the municipality and owners
of abutting property considerably less
through the action of the board of
public works in passing resolution
to omit verbiage which the citys legal
department held could be safely omit
ted. The reduction will be on the
printing bills.
Some time ago City Auditor w. C.
Mushet called attention to the large
and unnecessary cost" Of these notices.
although simultaneously the board was
working on a plan to reduce the cost.
Thousands of dollars will be saved
to property owners each year. it is
thought, by the shortening Of the
texts.
