the matter under consideration for
about six months and then dropped
him from the department.
At the rehearing of the case last
Thursday night Melons former supe-
rior officers declared that he had acted
without their knowledge and consent,
and that they did not approve of the
methods employed by Mellon. Ser
geant Sebastian said Mellon had done
effective work in the Chinatown clean
up.
But should the police commission
recommend Melons reinstatement the
civil service commission will probably
insist on the charges being threshed
out again before them. If the commits
sion does not recommend his rein
statement, Mellon may have to appear
before the police commission again on
charges that may be preferred by Ser
geant Sebastian against Captain Dixon.
In his testimony before the police COM
mission Thursday night Mellon de-
clared that Dixon had set him to spy
on Sergeant Sebastian, and he also de-
clared he was convinced Sebastian had
accepted money from Chinese gamblers.
This statement is considered absurd, as
Sebastian is responsible for the sup
preston of gambling in Chinatown, and
in order officially to clear himself the
sergeant may bring charges against
Dixon for taking a patrolman from his
detail and setting him to spy on his
superior officer.

After continuing the sale of prop

from day to day for the last twenty
days, the board of public works yes
terday set May as the date for sell
ing the property.
This delinquent property is on Grand
avenue, between Temple and Califor-

in connection with the opening of that
street between those two points. The
continuance of the sale has been made
necessary by reason of an injunction
secured by the property owners, but
which has been dissolved.
This street opening has been fought
before the council and in the courts
for the last four years. Complaints
were made that the one who would re-
ceive the most benefit by reason of

If YOU want to hear news, keep
vour ears on the alert. While at a
bridge party the other day 1 heard
this: Maude, talking to Gertrude,
said, "At last Los Angeles has an
exclusive corset shop. We have
been clamoring for one for ages
No one seemed to awaken to this
fact until Mr.. Orem Newcomb APP
peared upon the scene. He is
man Of exquisitely fine taste and
realized his opportunity had ar
rived to give Los Angeles this much
needed up to date shop. SO at 5S1
South Broadway you will find the
Newcomb corset shop, fitted up in
a most complete style. You will
find a wide, fetching range of styles
in corsets and prices adapted to
every womans purse. They have
also all the dainty accessories. NOW
listen to this: They have secured
for their filters Mrs. Hamilton, who
for so many years was in the corset
department at Coulter's, and Miss
Clara Moore from the Vile dc
Paris. Isn't that great? How do
you like my figure? l was fitted to
one of their swell Madeline cor

How many people can say they
have seen the exquisite Australian
black opals on display i'll the Whit
ley Jewelry company's WINDOW!
These fine stones are becoming very
scarce. At one time these precious
gems were plentiful in Hungary,
but almost extinct now. AS you
stand and look at the brooches,
scarf pins, laviliers and ornate de-
signs in rings and feast on the
harmonious blending of colors in
the stones and the enameling of the
gold which surrounds the stones,
also blends in color, you cannot help
but exclaim: "Oh, how gorgeous!
How perfectly beautiful" There is
such an air of refinement about this
jeWelry. The woman of fashion is
awaking to the fact if she wants
something that is almost exclusive
she must wear black opal.
WeaVer-Jackson, whose hair
dressing parlors are so we'll and
widely known, have with much care
selected a beautiful line of hair or
naments. The new way of dressing
the-hair really requires some dec
grafton. A rhinestone or an ex-
quisite shell comb. Take time to
look at this line of goods. They
always say mo trouble to show
our goods"
There is talk of jeweled hair nets
coming in style. They resemble
those the Chinese women wear.
The craze for large hat pins still
persists and it seems really as if
the heads are getting larger all the,
time.
d-fashioned jewelry has come in
with one mighty rush. The quaint
er and the more unusual the better.
1t is quite in accordance with the
trend of fashion that women should
be daintily perfumed these day
Belt pin novelties are fast taking
the place of girdles.

to open the street was declared. The
evidence showed that the amount paid
for the condemned land and the price
fixed for the remaining land would give
a value of more than $4,000 to the
piece of property in question. while
the purchaser had paid but $4,000 for
it. But in spite of this showing both
the courts and the council ordered that
the work proceed.

MyIntyre said his summing up would

There is a possibility that the case

The prisoner half. arose from his chair
and mother and son embraced until
she was led away by Maj. John Hams,

that leniency might be asked for with
