ALLEGED KEEPER OF
DISORDERLY HOUSE FINED
Woman Found Guilty on Two Charges
VIII Leave at Once for the
East

Mrs. Minnie McElroy, 1910 South
Hoover street, retracted her pleas of
not guilty to two counts, one alleging
the keeping of disOrderly house and
the other violation of the liquor ordi-
nance, in Police Justice Frederickson's
court yesterday morning.
On the charge of keeping a disorder
ly house she was ordered to pay fine
of SIS and on the liquor charge $25.
She paid.
The house maintained by Mrs. Nc
Elroy was raided April 16, and Mrs.
McElroy and two women inmates ar
rested and a quantity of liquor confls-
Gated. Mrs. McElroy pleaded not
guilty and demanded a jury trial, but
later retracted her plea to guilty.
In imposing the fines Police Justice
Frederickson took occasion to con-
denim the encroachment of disorderly
houses in the residential section OF Los
Angeles. He stated that such places
afforded a bad example for children
and persons who sought to lead a re-
spectacle life. He stated that the Of
tense in the eyes of the law was, of
course, no worse in the residential sec
ton than in the tenderloin, but that
conditions that made 1t possible where
homes exist are demoralizing.
Mrs. McElroy, through her counsel,
told the court that she was going east
Immediately and would give no further
trouble to the Los Angeles police.

LOS ANGELES LEADS
NORTHERN CITIES IN
POSTAGE BUSINESS
Sales of Stamps Fifty Per Cent Ahead
of Seattle and Sixty Per Cent
Greater Than Port
land

The question of which city of the Pa
cif1c coast, Los Angeles, Seattle or
Portland. does the most postal business
has long been discussed with interest.
Just to show the LOS Angeles way"
of doing all kinds Of business and to
show which city is the leader in the
postal business, Postmaster Motley H.
Flint has compiled official statistics Of
the relative postal business of the three
cities for the year ended March 81.
1909. The answer to the question Is
LOS Angeles in strong language. The
result shows that Los Angeles not only
overtops the cities of Seattle and Port
land, but leads Seattle by so per cent,
and Portland by 60 per cent.
These figures are not intended to
show that Seattle and Portland have
not gained in postal business, and
gained strongly, but their increase of
postal business was overshadowed by
the tremendous strides of Los Angeles.
The postal business of a city is
known to be a good barometer of the
general business. The figures are as
follows:

Insurance Concern Claims Policy
Holder Was Negligent and Refuses
to Make Good the Amount
Involved

Suit to determine the liability of
the Maryland Casualty company and
for the recovery of $4,000 on four
policies indemnifying the First Nation
al Bank of Monrovia for loss by bur-
glary, was filed by the banks officers
in the superior court yesterday. The
suit is the outcome of the robbery of
the bank by George A. Beatty, Ernest
w. Sundin, Edward Hatfield and C..
S. Martin, December IA, when $780,
was stolen.
One policy was issued to the bank
by the Casualty company in October,
1907, two more in the following De-
cember and a fourth in November,
last year, each with a face value of
$4,000.
The home office of the casualty COM
pany at Baltimore was notified of the
loss by the bank Immediately after the
robbery was discovered. A reply was
received, in which 1t was stated that
the company could not be held liable,
an investigation showing, 1t was
claimed, that the time lock on the
bank vault and the manner in which
the doors of the institution were fas-
tened were not in accordance with the
requirements of the policies.

CHINESE MADE EXAMPLE
FOR MARKET THIEVES

Lou Ling, Chinese peddler, was
arraigned before Police Justice Rose
yesterday morning and fined SIS, hav-
ing been found guilty of the attempted
larceny of two crates of Strawberries.
The complainant was the Beasely Ber-
ry and Produce company, 121 South
Los Angeles street.
According to the police many petty
thefts have been complained of at this
market and suspicion has been directed
to a number of Chinese peddlers, who
buy their product from the Beasely
company.
According to the evidence, Lou Ling
went to the market Wednesday morn
ing and while the cashier had his back
turned loaded two crates of strawber-
ries into his cart. AS persons were
stationed at the market to look out
for such things, in view of the past
thefts, the Chinese was Immediately
arrested. He contended at first that
he had paid the cashier at the outer
entrance, but later it was shown that
he had not tried to settle. Police Justice
Rose said that an example should be
made of the thieves, and in view of
the fact that many similar cases had
been reported fined Ling SIS, which he
