A petition containing about 5000 sig
natures, asking the invocation of the
initiative to increase the liquor zone

cay. This extension of the zone ap-
plies only to the wholesale, or what is
known as the family liquor store.
The ordinance suggests the following
new limits: Beginning at the Los An
geles river bed, at line $50 feet north

LICENSE ORDINANCE
DO NOT WISH INSPECTORS
TRANSFERRED TO POLICE
Auditor, Mayor and Commission De-
sire to Have Chief Officer Select
ed from Sergeants, but Law
makers Are Opposed

lust to keep some of their political
workers on the payroll, although City
Auditor Mushet has declared i'm no
uncertain terms that these same
henchmen are not worth their salt,
Councilmen Blanchard, Healy and
Yonkin voted against the recommen-
dation of the city auditor and the
mayor and defeated an important
measure. Councilmen Lyon and Clam
pitt were absent and only Councilman
Wallace, Dromgold. Wren and Pease
voted for the ordinance.
There were really two ordinances,
although they pertained to the same
thing. One created the position of po-
lice license inspector with the rank
of sergeant to be attached to the pc
lice department and the other trans
ferred the six license collectors, now
working under City Tax and License
Collector e. E. Johnson, to the police
department to work under the new
inspector.
The creation of the position of Ii
cense inspector attached to the police
department and the transfer of these
six men has been one of Mushets
strongest ambitions for the entire
term of his office He alleges the six
inspectors attached to the tax col
lector's office collect license fees where
as the law perscribes that license hold
ers must pay their licenses at the city
hall and it is the duty of the license
inspectors to see that those who are
subject to the license laws procure
their licenses and pay fees into the
city treasury. That they have Woe
fully neglected the work they should
have done is shown by Mr.. Mushet in
his reports to the council from time
to time.
The mayor and the police commits
soin recommended that a sergeant be
appointed police inspector. 1t was not
intended to add any more men to the
department or increase the payroll,
but to form some system whereby
the members of the police department
should do what they are expected to
do under the charter, act as inspec-
tors of licenses.
But the three members of the coun-
ell who opposed the ordinance feared
that if their favorites were put under
the control of some one who would
make them work they would either
have to earn their salaries or look for
another easy job.

COUNCIL REPEALS
BREAD ORDINANCE
MASTER BAKERS PETITION
AGAINST LAW
Size of LoaVes Is Left to Discretion
of Makers-Weight Changes
After Article Has
Dried

After all the hard work it required to
get the measure through the council,
the bread ordinance was repealed by
that body yesterday. When the repeal
is effective there will be no ordinance
or regulation applying to bread, and
bakers can make any size of loaVes
they please, as far as any law to the
contrary is concerned. The repeal of
the ordinance was brought about on a
petition submitted to the council yes
terday by the Master Bakers associa-
tion.
The council had some occasion for
surprise when the petition was pre-
scented, as the bread legislation was the
result of agitation begun by the Mas
ter Bakers association. The bakers
asked that some legislation be enacted
to control the size of loaves when the
Patten grain deal was at its height.
The council enacted an ordinance pre-
scribing that a loaf of bread should
weigh thirty-two ounces, and that
bread might be sold in smaller quantt-
ties of one-fourth, one-half and three
fourths sizes of a loaf. The ordinance
prescribed the baker must stamp the
weight of the bread and his name on
the loaf.
In their petition yesterday the bak-
ers declared it would be impossible to
fix the weight of "a loaf, as it would
have a certain weight when baked, and
after drying a few hours would lose
several ounces. If the weight was
fixed at the time of baking 1t would be
underweight when sold and would not
comply with the ordinance
Councilman Dromgold endeavored to
have the ordinance amended to meet
the ideas he has consistently expressed
since the measure has been up He
wants the baker to stamp the weight
on his bread without any standard
weights being fixed by ordinance, and
let the public buy the bread it pre-
fers. But the ordinance was repealed
with only Healy and Wallace voting
in its favor

which yields a wide political influence
NOT one member is willing to shoulder

the onlv councilman yesterday VINO
was outspoken in his demand that the
German American alliance nave the
privilege it seeks. For more thaH
twenty years the social clubs embraced
in the German-American alllance nav nay,
held annual or semi-annual Social
gatherings at Turner hall, or some
Similar place, and have sold liquors
chiefly beer and light wines. to their
own members. They never have had a
formal permit for this and none has
ever been requested. But the preseni
administration has decided this IL
against the law and has demanded
no LIQUOR be sold without permits.
The alliance does not wish to break
the laws, and yet it wishes to proceed
as has been its custom for many
years. An opinion has been expressed
that the desired permit could be is
sued under some form of the club IL

CORONER TO CONDUCT AN
INQUEST OVER MANS LEG
Peculiar Ceremony Made Necessary in
New York by Amputatio" of
Injured Limb

NEW YORK, June 1.-Coroner
Brewer of Brooklyn tomorrow will
hold an unusual inquest into the death
of one right leg and one right foot"
This peculiar ceremony is made
necessary by the action of DIR. Gould
of the Norwegian hospital, who filed
with the board of health regularly
executed death certificate describing
the leg and foot which he had ampu-
tated from a man who had been in
jured in a street car accident.
DR.. Gould sent the dismembered leg
and foot to the morgue and ascribed
the cause of death in the death certi-
ticate to amputation.
Coroner Brewer contends that this
formality makes it necessary for him
to hold an inquest on the lag and
foot.

PRESENT SILVER SERVICE
TO WARSHIP MISSISSIPPI
Large Crowd Participates in Cere-
monies at Pascagoula-Bar-
becue Also Held

PASCAGOULA, Miss, June with
the big battleship Mississippi riding
at anchor twelve miles south of this
port, several thousand citizens of the
state, whose names the vessel bears.
gathered on shore here today and pre-
sented to her officers and crew the
silver service which the people of
this commonwealth purchased through
popular subscription.
1t was planned originally to make
the presentation on board of the bat
tleship but fast running seas made
navigation for small excursion boats
dangerous.
Mrs Eunice Miller Lockwood, a
daughter of Lieut.. Miller, who COM
manded the Confederate shore bat
teries that sunk the old battleship
Mississippi at Port Hudson during the
civil war, made the presentation.
1t was principally through Mrs.
Lockwood's efforts that the fund to
purchase the silver service was raised.
An old-fashioned Mississippi barbe-
cue at Moss Point concluded the cere-
monies.

BERMUDA'S ONIONS FAIL
TO COMPETE WITH TEXAS
Industry Injured by Fact That Lone
Star State Grows Better
Variety

NEW YORK, June 1.-The rich soil
and warm sun of Texas have conspired
to put the famous onion growing in
dustry of Bermuda out of business.
Sixty Portuguese and forty native Ber-
mudians arrived here yesterday from
Bermuda to find employment.
All of them had owned onion farms
in Bermuda until it was discovered that
Texas could grow larger. earlier and
more luscious onions than in their
island.
AS a result their business has been
practically ruined, according to the re-
ports they brought here yesterday, and
they were compelled to sacrifice or
abandon their farms and come to this
country All of them brought their
families.
While some of them will go to the mill
districts of New England, majority
will seek agricultural openings in the
west,

WOOD DEALERS OBJECT TO
DELIVERING FULL CORDS
Claim Public Would Become Alarmed
If Standard Measure Demanded
and Price Advanced

A protest was received from two
wood dealers yesterday Directing to
the pending legislation fixing a stan
dard cord of wood. The wood dealers
admitted they sold SO cubic feet for a
cord instead of 1913, which is the stan
dard cord measure, but said that as
they sold SO feet for $12 it would be a
matter of adding $4 more and charg-
ing $16 cord if the standard cord was
fixed at 128 feet
These wood dealers fear the general
public will be alarmed so greatly to
learn that wood has advanced to SIG
for a full cord instead of $12 for three
fourths of cord that they will be
stampeded into buying coal altogether
and that eucalyptus tree growers will
lose all the money they have invested
in wood groves.

CHIEF OF POLICE WOULD
BAR RUNNERS AT HOTELS
Council Adopts Recommendation That
Ordinance Not Allowing So
Iicitors Remain as 1t Is

By a unanimous vote the recon-
mendation of the chief of police that
there be no amendment of the hotel
ordinance was adopted by the council
yesterday. The amendment relates to
the ordinance concerning hotel runners.
The legislation committee had decided
practically to change the ordinance so
as to permit hotels to employ one run
ner each, these to wear badges which
should designate the hotels by which
they are employed and other regula-
tions were to be provided to prevent
rowdyism.
The chief of police almost pleaded
that the ordinance be left as it is. He
said it is possible to handle all the
railroad stations now With one uni
formed patrolman to each station,
while with runners making life hideous

BOARD OF HEALTH ASKS
COUNCIL FOR CAT LICENSE
Claim Made That FeIines Are MUS.
ance and Should Be Treated
Similarly to Dogs

A cat license is the problem the
board of health has asked the city
council to consider. A petition was
presented to the board last night,
signed by number of persons, declar-
ing cats to be a nuisance and advo-
eating an ordinance compelling them
to be licensed or killed, as are dogs.
1t is a misdemeanor to put out
poison to kill a cat, it is a misde-
meanor to shoot a cat in the city
limits, and there is no protection
against nocturnal, chicken stealing fe-
lines except through a license.

be prohibited. A difference in the linz
it's from dwelling houses for poultry
yards will be made probably in the
various districts A committee of the
council composed of Wren, Yonkin and
Clampitt will confer with the board of
health on the question.
This action is the result of mes
sage from the mayor to the council
yesterday The mayor finds that many
complaints were made against the
35-foot limit in the existing ordinance.
AS the law stands it is Illegal to keep
chickens or other poultry within So
feet of any dwelling house.. This has
worked hardship on a number of
small property owners with short lots
who depend on their poultry for IA por-
ton of their income. This is the fea-
ture that is to be remedied by districts.
