LIQUOR SELLERS LINE UP
FOR LAW AND GOOD ORDER
Police Commissioners viii Revoke a
Half Dozen Permits and Remain
ing Holders Agree to OBJ
serve Rules

BY Tuesday 1t is expected that sew
eral important developments in the sa-
loon and restaurant situation in Los
Angeles affecting the liquor trade will
be up before the police commissioners
for consideration.
From six to eight holders OF restau-
rant licenses will give up the fight as
they cannot reconstruct their places
except at great cost to comply with
the rule making a complete separation
of the saloon and restaurant sections
obligatory.
The police commissioners spent three
days in inspecting the forty-odd places
affected by the new order and they say
found disposition on the part of the
owners to comply with the order In
abundant time before July I, the last
day of grace.
In some cases exceptions are likely to
be made where by erecting partitions
the sections devoted to drinks alone
and to food and drink can be isolated.
1t is believed that a settlement of
the case of the Bohemian grill Will be
made provided Harry Milling disposes
Of his interest at once. Milling lost
standing with the board because he
permitted the habitues there to become
noisy and violate the laws. Ernest
Knight, who is known to the commits
sioners as a reliable and law-abiding
man, is negotiating to take the grill
II he does so the commissioners Will
stand by Knight. they say.

SECRETARY LOVE
TO PAY CITYS BILL
COUNCIL DECLINES TO ALLOW
PURCHASE OF NAPKINS
Finance Committee Decides Health
Board Official Violated Rcq1IsI-
tIon Ordinance, Though He
Pleads Otherwise

Secretary Hugh M. (Polly) Love of
the board of health and City Auditor
w. C. Mushet have clashed again over
the technicalities in connection with
emergency demands, and the finance
committee of the city council ruled
yesterday that Secretary Love would
have to pay $3.50 out of his own pock-
ct or take the alternative of court ac-
ton prescribed under the requisition
ordinance.
Superintendent J. M. McEvoy of the
Contagion hospital recently, through
Secretary Love, bought five dozen nap
kins for use of the inmates of the De-
tention hospital. The committee de-
cided. yesterday that as no advance
requisition had been procured for them
the demand could not be approved. The
demand must be paid by the person re-
sponsible for contracting the debt.
Only when a real emergency exists
may supplies be purchased without
acquisitions, and the committee decided
that none exist in this case.
Violations of the ordinance involves
possibility of punishment as much as
six months Imprisonment.
FoE some time the council has
threatened to make an example of
some official because Of the repeated
violations of the new ordinance by
several departments. 1t was drawn
to prevent indiscriminate purchasing of
supplies for the city, and Auditor
Mushet says has worked well.
Love says the board members re-
garded the purchase as an emergency
and he thoughts he was following prec-
edent when he transmitted the order
from the superintendent.

GET AFTER P0ACHERS
IN THE PUBLIC PARKS
New York Commissioners Are Asked
to Gust All Roadhouses, Yacht
Clubs and Private
Houses

NEW YORK, June 13.-Lodging
houses, saloons, private clubs and resi-
dences have no proper place in public
parks, in the opinion of the City club
and the Metropolitan Parks association.
which sent to the board of park COM
missioners. yesterday a joint commune
cation specifying the many instances
in which park property was used for
other than public purposes and urging
that the private clubs, lodging houses
and other resorts of the character be
done away with, and, in some cases,
public locker rooms and lighthouses
be erected and maintained.
The plan of the two associations. If
put into effect, would remove from the
shore of Pelham bay many yacht clubs
which are we'll known, and from the
interior of parks in the city many road
houses. At the same time several peo-
pie who have been enjoying small
rentals and others who have been MAX
ing good use of special privileges would
be seriously incommoded. Incidentally
some politicians who have been inter-
ested in bath houses along the Hudson
river front would lose soft snaps.
The letter points out that these
clubs, inns and houses are out of keep
ing with the purposes of parks and
condemns the practice as licensed
poaching on public preserves

HELLO GIRLS WEAR TIGHT
GOWNS; CAN'T SIT DOWN
Horror and Dismay Seize Telephone
Officials When Operators
Appear in New
Frocks

BARSTOW, June 13.-Several young
women employed in the telephone ex-
change invested their savings in the
new close fitting gowns, and now they
are in distress because they cannot sit
at the switchboards.
That is the most unpleasant feature
about the dresses, and for working
girls it really becomes a hardship to
be in style.
The telephone operators are now COM
PEELED to remain on their feet during
the greater part OF the day, and when
their duties are over they are thor
oughly exhausted.
Remaining on their feet so long, more
shoe leather is worn out, and this is
an additional expense to the poor girls.
A few days ago a restaurant keeper
thought 1t would improve business to
equip his mattresses with the gowns.
His Judgment was excellent, and great
crowds fiocked to the place. Unfor-
tunately, he forgot that this rush also
meant more haste. The girls were
hampered so badly that they could
not wait on the patrons. so that after
q few hours trial the owner ordered
return to the old attire.

fire CHIEF SEEKS
HURRY-UP AUTO
THINKS HORSES NO LONGER
DOWN TO DATE
Department Commissioners Say Los
Angeles Should Fall In Line In
Buying Newest Auto
Apparatus

Fire Chief Walter Lips yesterday
asked the finance committee to allow
him an automobile for departmental
purposes.
The fire commissioners were the first
of the city's boards to ask for an auto
mobile months ago, but because of the
pressure of councilmen yielded when
the automobile they asked for was
turned over to the police department.
Some weeks ago the mayor and the
board visited the automobile chemical
equipment of the Long Beach depart
ment. They approved the innovation
and decided that as soon as auto ap-
paratus was developed Los Angeles
should fall In line. In the east the
use of autos in fire departments Is
common.
Chief Lips idea is to have an auto
which will seat five to seven men and
possibly carry hand extinguishers also.
1t could make swift runs up hills, be OF
special service by sending trained life
savers IL a fire alarm came from the
apartment house district and would In
many ways pay for Itself. An auto
mobile would easily outdistance any
apparatus in going to any fire and it's
cost of maintenance would. 1t was
argued, be no higher than that of a
horse or team.
The finance committee took the ques-
ton under advisement and may direct
that the machine be bought out of the
next appropriation of the fire depart
ment.

STYLE STOLEN FROM
EGYPTIAN MUMMlES
Professor Dobbs Thinks New Fashion
WasN In Vogue Thousands of
Years Ago in the
East

BERKELEY, June 13.-Professor
Augustus Dobbs, the famous Egyptol-
ogist, has returned to his native town
after two years researches along the
Nile. One of the most interesting dis
coveries announced is that the sheath
gown was popular in the days of the
Pharaohs.
Professor nobbs brought back fine
assortment of mummies, among them
one of the Princess Scympi. Upon I'M
wrapping the many embalming cloths,
he came to a gown that had a ia
miliar appearance.
1t was of fine texture and highly en-
broidered. but the most remarkable
thing about it was the tight-fitting
cut. The resemblance to the modern
sheath gown was most striking.
The professor says that he has evil
dence which would tend to prove that
at a later period, in Egypt, the gown
was worn by the women, and ancient
records tend to show that the queen
of Sheba wore 1t to make favorable
impression upon King Solomon,
and 1t also found place in the outfit
of Cleopatra.
The single, tight-fitting gown worn
at the present day by eastern women
is a modification OF the same gown.

inches and who is known as the tallest
man in Herkimer county, and Miss
Emma Cristman, scarcely feet high,
both residents of East Herkimer, are

The brides brother was violently op-
posed to the marriage, and when Rich

woman to escort her to the church her
mother threw cold water at lin. When
that did not deter him she used hot
water.
Then the groom signaled to his sweet
heart to jump from an upper story win

Gallant Charles caught the girl with
all the grace characteristic of his
stature, and forthwith they went to a
marrying parson. Then they dispatched

C0MELY YOUNG WIDOWS
DRESS RIPS; TERRIBLE!
Mrs. Jane Leggett Figures In Most
Distressing Accident with
Tight-Fitting Direc-
toire

FALLOwS CAMP, June 13.-Mrs
Jane Leggett, a comedy young widow,
figured yesterday in a most Distress
ing accident, which was due primarily
to a new-fangled tight-fitting gown,
such as has become popular in Paris
and the larger cities of this country.
Mrs. Leggett, who is prominent
member of the Civic club, had been
invited to visit club meeting in a
neighboring town and read a paper
on Raising Bread by Hand" Desir-
ing to make a favorable impression,
she ordered new sheath gown.
She spent much time in decorating
for the meeting, utterly regardless of
the time table. Indeed, 1T lacked only
four minutes of train time when she
completed her toilet, and standing in
front of the dressing glass, sweetly
murmured, "Well, / guess that will
hold the antiques for little SPELL"
She heard the foot of the locomotive
whistle and FASTENED to the station.
Under ordinary conditions she could
have made the train in season. but the
claspy garment retarded free action
ana handicapped her.
In her agitation she made longer
step than she should have, and with a
sigh and rip the goods parted. She
die not read the paper.

PRETTY Spoilers
ENSNARE WASHERS
Pittsburg "Decoys" Aid Plain Clothes
Men Make Round Up-Many
Prisoners Are Landed
In Jail

PITTSBURG, June 13.-Six pretty
"masher'' detectives were added to
Pittsburg's police force. Before mid
night there had been a dozen arrests,
included in which were several we'll
known men about town.
These young women acted as de
coys," and each of them, in walking
around the business and theater dis
tricts, was closely followed by a plain
clothes man.
The behavior of the decoys was
modest, but they were not impossible
to accost, and the harvest by the plaiu
clothes men began long before the
crowds were away from the theater
section.
BY early evening the onslaught Of the
"decoys" had produced a marvellous
effect The Washers retired to their
bars or their clubs, and women were
unmolested throughout the city.

COMPTON. June 13.-Miss Mary
Heinsley, who sings in the choir of a
local church, has had the finger of
scorn pointed in her direction since
last Sunday, when she appeared at
the services wearing sheath gown.
Miss Heinsley is considered the pref
tiest girl in town, and one of the few
capable of wearing the new style to
advantage sne is tall and slender,
but not too slender.
1t was not noticed by the other wom-
en- of the flock that Miss Mary was
so up to date until she arose with the
rest of the singers to render an an
them. Then the buzz of establishment
that swept over the church was audi
BILE and unanimous.
1t was noticed that the persons who
made the greatest protest during the
following few days were the extremely
thin women and the excessively stout
danes. They talked, they arraigned,
they condemned. And. still they talked.
They referred indefinitely to desecrat-
ing the house of worship.
Strangely, the young men of the
congregation took sides with Miss
Heinsley, and they assured her Of their
hearty support

FIGHTS BURGLAR, SEES
SON AS MASK DROPS
Father TearfuIly Turns Him Over to
Court for Punishment and
Boy Is Held for
TrIai

PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-To find
that a masked burglar who had en-
tered his home at midnight was his
own son was the startling experience
of Richard Ransley of Front and
Pearl streets, Camden.
Mr.. Ransley was awakened by a noise
in the lower part of the house, bat not
hearing 1t repeated made no investi-
cation and resumed his sleep. He
again awoke and found masked man
in his room rifling pair of trousers.
He watched the burglar until the
latter started to leave the room and
then followed. The man ran through
the house, Mr.. Ransley following and
overtaking the thief in the rear yard.
He captured him after a struggle.
during which the mask fell off and
the astonished father found he held
his own son John, 10 years old.
He took the boy to police headquar-
ters, where $31 taken from Mr.. Rams
leys trousers was recovered. The
father tearfully told Recorder Stack
house to do as he though best, and
young Ransley was committed for
court.
