THEATRE LICENSE
Of THE AMERICAN
STILL IN FORCE
Justice TruaX Declares His
Order Does Not Operate
as a Revocation.

BY declaring positively this afternoon
that he had not revoked the license Of
tie American Theatre Justice TruaX
managed TO clear the atmosphere Of
doubt, apprehension and confusion that
existed In the minds Of layers and lay
men concerning the status Of the case.
Shortly before the Justice made this
statement from the bench Assistant
Corporation Counsel Pierce declared
that the Justices Endorsement OF his
papers yesterday meant that the license
Of the American Theatre was revoked.
that no trial would be necessary and
that the theatre owners would have no
further recourse In law. In fact, Mr..
Pierce was SO jubilant over his vic
tory" that he proclaimed that It would
only be a short step for him 10 revoke
the licenses OF the Alhambra and Hur-
tig Il Seamon's In the same fashion
that he had secured the revocation of
the American Theatres license. Both
these theatres. he said. were as guilty
as the American of violating the Sunday
law.
Far or the Track.
Just how far Mr., Pierce was of the
track will be found in the following
statement of Justice Truax, delivered
from the bench of Part H., Trial Term.
OF the Supreme Court. this afternoon:
"Ail that my decision In the Ameri-
can Theatre case amounted to was

CHECKING AUTOS LIKE
BAGGAGE is LATEST
TAKE YOUR CAR TO CHECKM m
AND 1T Is SAFE
WoodiI Auto Company lnaugurates
a New System That viii Be
Found to Be a Great
Convenience

The automobile business is becoming
every day more and more of a COM
mercial enterprise. Among those to
venience to the public in advanced
ideas is the Woodill Auto company. A.
L. Woodill who has assumed the ac-
tive management of the concern, has
injected some modern ideas into that
big concern which will be matter of
interest to the public, whether owners
or drivers of automobiles.
One of the most pleasant innova-
tions Incorporated in the new idea"
system of Woodill is what is known
as the "check system" 1t works this
way. Formerly when the owner of an
automobile living at a distance from
the city/had some packages in his car,
and wished to take them back home
or elsewhere in the evening, he had to
bundle up these articles and carry
them off to some checking stand for
safety. He does not need to do that
now Coming in to the city, the car
may be taken itself to the Woodill
Auto company and there the car is
checked" a duplicate given to the
owner the same exactly as is done
with the baggage at the waiting room
of the depot. 1t remains there until
the check is presented and the charge
is the trivial cost of fifty cents. Sup
posing, too, you are delayed, there is
no danger of a fine for unlighted
lamps, for the car simply awaits your
claim check. For the evenings at
tending the theater the advantage of
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-12

this system will be apparent. No
danger of your car being blocked in
behind a dozen other cars, nor being
jammed, scratched or broken lights.
You can get your car at any hour
of the day or night. There are no keys
to the Woodill garage, for the doors
are never closed. And should you
want your car washed or rubbed down
and polished and cleaned all that is
necessary to is say the word, and
while you are shopping or attending
to your affairs the car is frightened
up at a small charge and ready for
you when you return to claim it. Sit
uated, too, as is the Woodill company
in the Pacific Electric building, the
convenience will be apparent.
Then there is the repair department,
which is one of the most complete in
the west, in charge Of the best ex-
perts-no experimental young mechan-
les being permitted to practice upon
the car, but thorough mechanics who
know what the car needs and take care
of those needs.
A full fine of accessories of every
kind imaginable is carried ready for
immediate use, which include tires of
all sizes.
The Woodill Auto company is located
in the large roomy basement of the
Pacific Electric building, with pleas
ant offices and waiting rooms and
when you are In the neighborhood it
will Just pay to take a peek in and see
a properly, splendidly managed con-
cern, devoted to the automobile busi-
ness.
The firm is also distributing agents
for the Oakland cars 40" roadster, of
which. with magnetic included, costs
but $3.50.

INDIAN TRAILERS KEEP
WATCH ON WILLIE BOY

RIVERSIDE. Oct 11-While a new
posse Is being recruited in Banning,
Indian trailers are keeping grim watch
on the movements Of Willie Boy near
Rock corral, where the Indian was
last seen. Sheriff Wilson leaves Ban
ming early tomorrow morning with a
posse of fifteen experienced noun
taineers and dead shots, all well
mounted, for the scene of Fridays en-
counter. Wilson has arranged for
supplies to be sent out in continuous
supplies to the officers, and Sheriff
Ralphs of San Bernardino is cooper
atlng with the Riverside county sher-
iff through the organization of a posse
on the other side of the mountains.
The two posses will unite and will
make short shrift of the Indian If he
is discovered.
Under Sheriff Wallace Evans, who
headed the Banning posse of seven
men, lost thirty pounds while in the
saddle after the murderous Indian. His
party was obliged to go without food
for twenty-four hours on one occasion
and at times suffered for lack of wa
ter in the desert mountains. Charles
L. Reche, the Banning mining man
who was badly wounded in the en-
counter with Willie Boy, was one of
Evans best trailers, as he knew every
foot of the mountains, and the loss of
the four horses, coupled with Reches
injuries, decided the officers on a tenn
porary cessation of hostilities.
There is a possibility that Willie Boy
has taken his own life as he was
known to be without provisions when
last seen, and his water supply must
have been short.
