NEW LICENSE LAW IS
PRODUCTIVE OF GAINS
FEES REQUIRED TO BE PAID
AT CITY HALL
Under Old System Collectors Made
Rounds, and Payments Often
Were Delayed for Weeks
and Months

The new license ordinance has mad
a most marked effect in the increase in
the amount of money paid for licenses
into the city treasury and the prompt
ness with which it has been paid.
For the first three days in April the
books showed a little in excess OF
$29, 900 paid for quarterly and monthly
licenses, as against only $4,000 for the
same period, paid in for annual, quar-
terly and monthly licenses.
This big increase is due to the fact
that persons operating under licenses
are required under the new ordinance
to pay their license fees at the city
hall the first of the month. Under
the old method of procedure the depu-
ties of the city tax and license collec-
tor called on licensees and collected
the fees. Under this system II was
POSSIBLE for weeks and months TO go
by before the fee was collected, and IN
many instances it was lodged entirely
by those who would rather do busi-
ness without paying the city Tor the
privilege of doing 1t.
The clever work of w. l.. Tribit, Sc
cret service agent of City Auditor
Mushet, and also the work of James
A. Craig, the new inspector OF licenses,
has contributed largely to the IN
creased collection of license fees. The
fact that the color of license cards is
changed every month has also helped
increase this revenue.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
IN FAVOR OF RAILROADS
Commission of Kentucky Loses in
Effort to Decide Interstate
Rates

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The in
junction suit of the Kentucky rail-
roads, in which the roads asked that
the railroad commission of Kentucky
be restrained from carrying into effect
the order of June 80, 1906, fixing rates
on interstate business in that state,
was decided by the supreme court in
favor of the railroads.
The case came to the supreme court
on appeal by the commission from Il
decision by Judge Cochran of the
United States circuit court for the
eastern district of Kentucky, in which
he held to be unconstitutional under
the Kentucky statute known as the
McChord law and issued an order per-
petually enjoining the enforcement OF
the law.
The lower court was. affirmed, but
the supreme court. holding that the
statute did not authorize the whole
sale creation of schedules, avoiding
dealing with the constitution in any
of the questions involved. The decision
was announced by Justice Peckham.

BULLOCK'S WINDOWS
ATTRACT THOUSANDS
DISPLAY IS WORK OF
TRIMMER'S ART
Scene at Night, When Electric Lights
lIIumine the Scene, Is One OF
BrilIiancy and Inspi-
ration

IF Won were not among the thousands
that Yesterday and last night visited
the Easter window displays at bui-
locks store, at the corner OF SeVehth
and Broadway, it is conceded by those
who did go that much pleasure was
foregone. s..,,o,,,
Spectators Of the gorgeous displays
advise those who remained away not
to miss one of the greatest treats ever
offered the shop going public OF Los
Angeles. ...,xa4
With its customary business instinct
the Bullock management, at the eA-
penditure of great effort and money,
has provided one of the flnest Easter
displays which ever has been SHOWN
in Los Angeles.
The thousands who viewed the VIM
dow displays yesterday were unani-
nous in the opinion that no more per-
feet attainment of the decorators art
had ever been realized in Los Angeles
than the present show in the Bullock
windows. -.
fon are used in producing the bewitch-
ing display, and to show to best ad-
vantage every article of wearing ap-
parel necessary for Easter dress.
Old rose, the popular Easter color, IS
shown in nearly a hundred distinct
shades, yet so perfect is the blending
that the eye is entranceu anu the lIlinu
marvels, as one gazes at the veritable
paradise of color. Silks, dress goods,
gloves, hosiery, suits, hats, parasols,
yelling, neckwear and everything con
ceivable for perfect Easter attire Is
included in the artistic display.
The scene at night, when the cleo
trio lights are aglow, is far more inn
pressive than during the daytime, as
the brilliancy of color is beautifully
reflected by the light. and produces an
effect that is inspiring.
Every department of Bullocks has
been overhauled and arranged for the
Easter SALE and the floral department
is one that merits special praise, and
yesterday was not unlike mammoth
garden and the cynosure of all eyes.
The Bullock management extends a
hearty invitation to the public of Los
Angeles to inspect the stock, and any
Easter shopper, however finical, can
have his desires fulfilled at this popu-
lar store.

DEFENDS POSITION OF THE
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH
w. E. Brown Says Mrs. Eddy's Re-
Iiqion Does Not Attack That OF
other Denominations

In a. letter which has been received by
The Herald from w E. Brown, the
latter defends the position of the Chris
tan Scientists in its attitude toward
other creeds and religions. Mr.. Brown
states that in The Herald April Bishop
Conaty is quoted as saying Christian
Science makes an attack on the doe
trine of the Catholic church" In this,
he says, the good bishop is mistaken.
Christian Science does not attack any
religion, but holds that all have the
right to worship God according TO the
dictates of conscience. The bishop is
also mistaken as to the CHRISTIAN
Science attitude toward sin.
Christian Science teaches, Mr.. Brown
continues, that those who sin must suf-
fer, and it instructs suffering humanity
how to overcome all that is unlike God,
so that they may enjoy the glorious
liberty of the children of God" The
scriptures teach from cover to cover
that sin is the primary cause of all hu-
man misery, and it promises those who
turn from sin complete restoration,
physical, moral and spiritual. When
ever or wherever one of earth's weary
ones turns to Christ the fulfillment OF
Isiah's prophecy is repeated 1.-THE for
mer troubles are forgotten and because
they are hid from mine eyes. For be-
hold I create new heavens and new
the Sildll ilOl NC &c
n1embered nor come into mind"
Christian Science is the religion OF
Jesus, and it's adherents are striving to
purify their lives so they may be en-
abled in an ever increasing degree to
obey the Masters command to preach
the gospel and heal the sick.
Mr.. Brown concludes by saying Chris
tian Science has no quarrel with any
one or any system that is trying to up
lift mankind, but bids them godspeed
in their endeavor. Christian Science
fully appreciates sincere, honest mo-
tive whenever found, whether in re-
iigion, medicine or economics. Mrs
Eddy has said: "a genuine Christian
Scientist loves Protestant and Catholic
d. D. and M. D.-loves all who love
God, good; and he loves his enemies
It will be found that, instead of op-
posing. such an individual subserve'
the interests of both medical faculty
and Christianity, and they thrive to
gether, learning that Mind power il
good will toward men,"

WOMAN ASKED TO RESIGN

MISS JULIA w. 6LANpY SAYS

Principal of Branches Ayers No At.
tempt Is Made to Preserve Order

Stolen Easily

AS result of the librarians demand
for her resignation, Miss Juila W.
Blandy, principal of branch hprarles
threatens to stir things up, at least
slightly. In statement, in which she
makes some serious charges, she calls
on the public to demand the council IN
vestigate conditions in the library.
Among the things which Miss BlandY
AYERS need correcting in the library,
and some of the abuses which she
deems due to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. are;
During the two years l have peen
principaI of branches the librarian
never has made a tour of Inspection
with me.
"There is no attempt under the pres
ent administration to preserve order
and keep it.
0"There were 140 working days out of
the last two years when the librarian
was not in the building, and by actual
time record he has averaged not more
than two and a half hours day for
the remaining days of the two years.
"The conditions under which we are
working are ruinous. In the nrst
place. the removal to our present quar-
ters in the Hamburger building, aside
from the lack of fitness in jumbling US
all up with carpets, beds, ETC., has ex-
posed a valuable public property, all
the books, to theft. In the short time
we have been in these quarters three
men have been under arrest for steal
ing the books. There is one at this
time serving a hundred days for haV-
ing taken over 5000 worth.
"There is a network of elevators and
stairways opening into the library
quarters. The Hamburger business
opens daily at o'clock. The library
opens at 9. On three different occasions
I have seen strangers in the depart
ments helping themselves during hours
when the library was not open for bust
ness. and no one but the janitor and
charwomen in charge, and they not In
sight"
Miss Blandy says she has been fought
by faction in the library, and she be-
lieves it is time to fight back. She
points to several items in the libra
RAMS annual report as indications that
she has done her work well.
