CITY LAW CLOSING BARBER
SHOPS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Decides Test Case in
Favor of Tonsorial Parlors Being
Kept Open Sundays

The hopes of a large number of bar
bers who want one day in the week as
a day of rest will be shattered today
when City Attorney Hewitt reports to
the city council that the proposed bar
ber ordinance closing the shops SUM-
days is unconstitutional.
The ordinance was presented to the
council last Tuesday and signed by
large number of employing barpers as
well as by the employees. 1t was stated
all the barber shops in the city would
be willing to close Sundays, but that
no agreement could be reached in the
matter and one shop did not feel like
closing when its competitors kept open.
City Attorney Hewitt, in his report
to the council today, calls attention to
the fact that in 1895 the state legisla-
ture passed a law making 1t misde-
pleanor to keep a barber shop open
after noon Sundays or any legal holi-
day. A test case was made and the
supreme court decided that the law was
unconstitutional. He holds the proposed
ordinance would be subject to the same
objections.

ACCUSES BARBER OF
EXCESSIVE CHARGES
COMPLAINT MADE BY TOURIST
OF EXT0RTION
Claims He Paid Fifth Street Shoo
$1.7o for Hair Cut and Hair Tonic
Application and so Cents
for Shave

Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived by the police against barber
shops on Fifth street, near the Arcade
station, and from the frequent exorbi-
tant charges assessed the travelling
public the police wish to warn the peo-
pie of Los Angeles against patronizing
those places.
The latest extortion reported is that
of w. p. Platte, tourist who is stay
ing at the Golden State hotel, Fifth
street and Central avenue. Platte re-
ported to the police that he entered a
barber shop not far from the hotel
Saturday and asked for hair cut. He
was given the necessary service, with
a few additional applications of hair
tonic and bay rum, and was presented
with check for $40
Platte protested at the eXorbitant
charge and was told the preparation
used on his hair is very expensive and
the charges were all right. Platte, be-
lieving it was correct, paid the amount
and left.
He returned yesterday and asked for
a shave. When the barber had finished
he presented Platte with a check for so
cents. Platte paid the bill and then
reported the matter to the police.
AS there is no law covering swindles
of this character the police say the
public should be warned against pat
ronizing such places.

DECLARES WIFE FLIRTED
SAYS Woman When Matron at City
Jail Did Not Conduct Her.
self Properly

The contested divorce suit of Elry
G. Feeley against Frank Feeley, which
has taken up considerable portion OF
the time in the divorce court since
Friday, was submitted yesterday.
To Mrs. Feeley's charges of cruelty
Feeley filed counter accusations, alleg-
ing misconduct on his wite's part
while employed as a matron at the
city Jail. He said his wife had been
caught flirting with other men, and
introduced a letter written by an ad-
mirer who called her baby"
Feeley stated his wife's environment
was responsible for her flirtatious in
clinations, and told the court he had
presented the case to Mayor Alexander,
former Mayor Harper, the police com
mission and the present and former
chiefs of police, hoping one or all of
them would take some action result
ing in Mrs. Feeley's removal from her
position.
The court denied a decree to Charles
w. Sutton, who charged his wife, May
E. Sutton, with cruelty. In addition
to this decision the court ordered SUIT
ton to pay his wife $40 month ali
mony.
The following divorce DEGREES were
granted: Lena E. Jones from Edward
G. Jones, Harriet w. Strang from e.
A. Strang, Essie Alberta Cattle from
Fred B. Cattle, Frances KoVacervich
from Antoine Kovacervich, Florence
Watson from George S. Watson and
Kathryn c. Huggins from Henry e.
Huggins.
Four divorce suits were filed as fol-
lows Lena Cox against Milton S.
Cox, Louise Roehm against George
Roehm, Effie Glover against John
Glover and Katherine Stiles against
Martin Stiles.

BARBER COMPANY TO
GET BOULEVARD JOB
ASPHALT COMPANY SUBMITS
LOWEST BID
Only other Concern to Offer Proposal
Will Benefit Through Royalties
Successful Corporation
Must Pay

After nearly a year of trying to get
bids for paving Sunset boulevard the
contract seems likely to be awarded
to the Barber Asphalt company. Two
bids were submitted to the board OF
public works yesterday: One by the
Barber Asphalt company for II cents
a square yard and one by the Warren
Brothers for 171a cents a square yard.
No award was made, but II turther
investigation proves everything reg
ular the Barber company Will get the
contract.
one peculiar feature of this contract
is that no matter which of these TWO
companies is given the contract the
Warren Brothers will profit. The Bar
ber people must pay royalty OF -
cents a square foot to Warren Brotn-
ers for the privilege of using the pltu-
lithic surface material on which the
Warren Brothers have patent But
in spite of the fact that they must
pay royalty the Barber people old
lower than the owners of the patent.
The bid of the Barber company VIII
make the paving cost nearly SzVO,Ooo'
which is the estimate by the city en-
gineer. Had it not been for the pat
ent held by the Warren Brothers the
property owners on sunset pouleNdru
would have had the work done FOR
s166, ,926 and their assessment much less
than they must pay now. The latter
figure is the bid submitted by the Pa
tiIlo Contracting company last Janu-
ary. But this bid could not be ac-
cepted because the Warren Brothers
had won their suit in court, brought
to sustain their patent rights, and the
city attorney held the city would be
liable for royalties.
Yesterday was the third time BIDS
have been received for this work. Tho
first time was late last summer. When
bids weJe opened the first time 1t was
found there was a difference of only
about 500 between the figures submit
ted by the Barber Asphalt company
and the Patillo Contracting company
A little technical error appeared in the
specifications and both companies
threatened legal proceedings If the
board awarded the contract to the
other. On this account the board had
to reject all bids
The second time the bids We're
opened. in January. the patent right
question was involved and another re-
lection followed.

preferred by Mrs. Emily r. Terrill,
widow of q prominent surgeon of San
Francisco. Mrs. Terrill accused the
couple of taking her steamer trunk,
containing, among other things, jew
elry valued at $1,000.
Mrs. Terrill said the trunk was taken
forcibly as security for a debt she did
not owe. On the contrary, Mrs. Kotz
stated a large amount of money was
due her for services as nurse to Mrs.
Terrill, and she believed she was act
ing within her rights when, with the
aid of Furstenburg, she took the trunk
and placed it in warehouse.
Mrs. Terrill was preparing to leave
San Gabriel, where she had been re-
cuperating, and 1 thought L was go

'Caballeria collection of paintings.
This collection was purchased by the
said Lummis for the Southwest muse
um with funds subscribed by the people
of this community. He supplied the
subject matter for the bulletin referred
to. Discussing this collection he states:
Southern California has secured for Its
very own a collection of venerable
paintings all intimately connected with
its history for nearly $50 years.
II have positive evidence that the
above statement is not true. These pic
lures have no historic value.
81 have a record of these paintings
furnished by Rev. Juan Caballeria from
whom the said Lummis purchased
them. According to this record twenty
one of the paintings were bought in
Spain in the year 1885. 1t is obvious
that they have no historic value, and
should no longer be so exhibited. The
remaining thirteen pictures were found
in California, and of them Father Cab
alleria says, to-wit:
The pictures which are here re-
corded as having been found in Cali
fornia were probably brought to this
state from Mexico.
at is also probable that some OF
them constituted a part of the fur
nishings OF the missions. OF this, how
ever, nothing definite is known.
1.-The above record was made at my
dictation by DR.. f. M. Palmer, curator
of the Southwest museum, and is cor
rect in so far as have knowledge.
(Signed) "FATHER CABALLERIA.'
with relation to these paintings, il
only remains for me to add that the
Southwest society is placed under g
lasting obligation to Father Caballeris
for making it possible for the society
to correct the statements made by the
said Lummis. This should be done
Immediately.
"You have been magnif1cently gener'
Gus in your contributions in promotion
of a movement which was intended
and should have resulted, in the estab-
lishment of a museum in this city
Why your wishes have not been real

yious. Respectfully submitted,
