FORMER CONVICT IS
KILLED BY SHERIFF
"Gunplay' Maxwell Visits Price, Utah,
to Settle Grudge with County Of
ficial, but Latter Is Too
Quick for Him

PRICE, Utah, Aug 23.-C. L. Max
well, known as "Gunplay Maxwell,
was shot and killed by Sheriff Ed
johnson ON the street here today. Max
well. who has an interstate reputation
as a bad man. came to Price with
the ayoWed intention of settling an ac-
count with johnson, which grew out
of his arrest by the officer at Goldtield,
New, q yea ragO
When they met today, both men
reached for their weapons. johnson
was the quicker and Maxwell fell WITH
two bullets in his body before he could
draw his pistol
Maxwell was born in MASSACHUSETTS
and it is believed his real name was
Bliss. He had served time in the Utah
penitentiary for bank robbery and in
the Wyoming prison for grand larceny.
His most recent entanglement with the
law was in Nevada where he was
charged last year with the robbery of
the Searchlight stage.
He was tried at Goldfeld, but the
state failed to secure "a conviction. His
penchant for shooting up" small
towns earned him the nickname by
which he was known.

WANT LICENSES HELD
BY GROCERS REVOKED
COUNCIL ASKED TO STOP ALL
PRESENT PRIVILEGES
Former Judge Trask Appointed Com
mittee of One to Draw Up Docu-
ment After Police Commits.
sion Meeting

The police commission voted unanl-
mOusly last night to request the coun-
ell to amend the liquor ordinances so
as to prohibit the sale of liquor in
groceries. Judge Trask was appointed
a committee of one to prepare the reso-
luton that will be adopted by the
commission and sent to the council.
This action on the part of the COM
mission was the result of the applica-
tion Of Arthur Cohen for a wholesale
liquor permit for his grocery on Sew
enth street, near Grand avenue. The
application was presented several
weeks ago, but laid on the table. 1t
was brought up again last night by
r. A. Todd, attorney for Mr.. Cohn,
who wanted a definite answer.
Every member of the commission was
opposed to granting a liquor permit in
grocery. While Commissioner Gra-
ham was opposed on principle he de-
clared he believed the permit should
be granted to MI Cohn because two
or three other large groCers sell liquor
and it was not fair to ask Mr.. Cohn
to compete with others that had priVi-
leges he could not have.
Mayor Alexander was unalterably op-
posed to granting a permit to grocery
and commissioners Topham and An
drews agreed with him. Commissioner
Trask declared that if he had his way
every permit held by a grocery would
be revoked in one tick of a clock. He
had no power to do SO, but he agreed
with Commissioner Graham that all
should be treated alike. 1t was his
suggestion that led to the adoption of a
motion to present a resolution to the
council asking that all liquor permits
held i'm groceries be revoked.

Municipal Affairs
WANTS TO COLLECT
ON BIDDERS BONDS
PUBLIC WORKS BOARD WILL
APPLY TO COUNCIL
To Ask Action Against Contractors
Who Refused to Co On with
Their Work for the
City

The board of public works will to-
day ask the council to proceed to col
lect on the bonds of two bidders for
public work who have defaulted on
their contracts. one is J. H. Mel
vile, whose bond for $4,000 is held by
the board of public works and the
other is Peter keenan,. who has bond
of $3.50 which the board wants col
lected.
In both cases the contractors re-
fused to go on with their work be-
cause they had bid too low and the
board wants to collect the difference
between the bid made by the delin-
quent contractors and the bid at which
they were forced to award the con-
tracts by reason of the bidders de-
faulting. In the case of Peter keenan,
the bond is not sufficient to cover the
difference. keenan's contract was for
building lockers and d store room at
Hazard playground for which he bid
$685. The bid at which the board was
forced TO award the contract when
keenan, defaulted was $1293, leaving
a difference of $4O5 with a bond of only
$3.50 to cover it. But Keenan, was pun
ished additionally by being declared an
irresponsible bidder by the board. He
cannot compete for any more city
work.
MelvlIle's Bond Sufficient
Melville's bond is more than suffi-
cient to cover the difference in his
case. He bid for furnishing sprinklnS
wagons and teams for the next four
years. He offered to furnish wagons
and teams for $1.32 day team The
board asked for seventy wagons and
teams. Melville refused to accept the
contract when it was awarded him be-
cause the board would not permit him
to use vertical wagons and the board
had to again ask bids.
Ramish & Marsh were the next sue
cessful bidders offering teams and
wagons for $146. Adolph Ramish, a
member of the successful firm. is one
of the sureties on 1-elvilles bond.
which is for $4,000. The difference be-
tween the bid made by Melville and
the one finally accepted for the life of
the four years contract is 5000, and it
is this amount the board will ask the
council to recover from the $4,000 bond.

ROCK CRUSHER PLANT
BIDS DECLARED Off
SUPERVISORS MUST START IN
NEW AT PAC0IMA
Fault in Specifications Of c. c. Moore
G. Co. Discovered by Deputy
District Attorney
Horton

All bids for the installation of a rock
crushing plant at the PacOima quarry
were rejected by the board of supervis-
ors yesterday when Deputy District
Attorney Horton gave il as his opin-
ion that the specifications accompany
ing the lowest bid, that of c. G. Moore
& Co, $3S,0lS, did not conform to the
specifications of the highway commits
sion. The commission was instructed
to prepare new plans and specifications
for a crushing plant on a smaller scale,
and these will be submitted next Mon
Gay.
Several bids, all OF which were re-
ferred to the highway commission and
county engineer, were received for the
extension of Ionia walk. Naples. The
lowest submitted was $4S75, a reduc-
tion of about $1,000 compared with bids
previously received and rejected.
The petition for the formation of the
Altadena storm water district was de-
ly exceeding the petitioners.
The petition for the formation of the
Allen avenue storm water district was
taken under adVisement after a num-
ber of protestants, who said they would
not be benefited by the Improvement,
were heard.
Consideration of the application for
the formation of the Northwest Long
Beach storm water district was post
poned until the supervisors have an op-
portunity to go over the district and
make a personal investigation.

URGES CHANGES IN
SPUR TRACK PLAN
CITY ENGINEER REPORTS TO
PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Suggests Methods Which Would Pre-
vent Serious Obstruction of Traffic
on Commercial Street, Near
Amelia Street

Unless certain changes recommended
by the city engineer are made IN the
plans for the spur track on CONNER
Cial, jackson and other streets which
is asked for by NJ II. Hellman, ana
which is pending before the city coun-
Gil, are made, the board of public works
will ask the council today to deny the
application. But it is probable the
changes can be made without material
disadvantage. In a report to the board
of public works the city engineer had
the following to say:
1.-THE construction of a spur track as
desired will obstruct traffic on the
northerly half of the roadway of COM
mercial street near Amelia street ana
will take up quite portion ot the SlGe-
walk space, for which only eight leeI

croach on the sidewalk area at the
southwest corner of Lafayette street
and Ducommun street and at the
southwest corner of Labory lane. IL
will become necessary for all teaming
from I.abory lane to cross this track
and use the easterly side of Lafayette
street.
CuIverts Would Be Expensive

in mind that their initial cost Will not

account of the presence of this track.
"I wish also to respectfully call your
attention to the fact that ordinance

notices be posted by your honorable
body not later than seven days before
the date set for hearing. The date for
hearing in this case is August 2l. max

HARB0R CITIES APPLY
FOR LIQUOR LICENSES
Dealers in San Pedro and Wilmington
Probably Will Be Given Permits
After Chief Reports

The twelve saloons, wholesale house
and three restaurants with liquor per
mits, doing business in San Pedro, all
applied to the police commission last
night for Los Angeles permits to con-
duct their business. The consolidation
of the two cities will not be complete
until Wednesday and the applications
were referred to the chief. They will
come up at the meeting next Monday,
and probably win all be granted with
out question.
The saloon ordinance was amended
before the consolidation election to
provide for these twelve saloons in
San Pedro and two in Wilmington. It
was not desired to disturb existing con-
ditions by consolidation and Greater
Los Angeles really has PA saloons in
stead of the 200 that has been the limit
for so many years.

RESTAURANT MEN ASK TO
HAVE PERMIT REVOKED
Matson & La Barre Tell Police COM
mission They Don't Want to
Sell Liquor

The police commission had finished
its nights work by 10 o'clock last night,
and all because a trial over a permit
that it was expected would take hours
was easily concluded by a voluntary
request that the permit be revoked.
The permit was to sell liquor in a
retaurant conducted by Matson q
La Barre at Ceres and Central ave-
nues. The proprietors of the place
had been cited to appear before the
police commission and show cause why
their permit should not be revoked for
selling liquor Illegally.
When the case was called last night
Attorney Jud Rush, representing Mat
son &, La Barre, asked the commits
sion that the permit be revoked. He
said his clients had found that selling
liquor at their. restaurant was more
expense than profit and they did not
care to continue the business longer

NEW JERSEY BIRD LIFE
SHOWN IN BIG MUSEUM.
Hackensack Meadows and Pali4
sades Specimens on View.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Frank NJ.
Chapman, of the department of orni-
thology of the American Museum of
Natural History, has completed two
new bird groups which are of specias
interest to residents of the vicinity of
New York city.
One group illustrates the bird life of
the Hackensack meadows in August
These marshes in August n Septem-
Der are the nome of myriads of birds
which come to roost and to feed. Late
in the afternoon they stream in by the
thousands, steering their flight toward
some regularly frequented roost in the
reeds.
The wild rice which ripens about this
time attracts to the marshes red winged
~blackbirds, bobolinks n Carolina or
Sora rail.
The second local group shows the
duck hawk, or %peregrine falcon, as it
nests on the Palisades. This falcon is
famed for its fearlessness and strength
of wing and tailor The peregrine was
rated among f~alconers second only to
the gyrfalcon, and no person of lower
rank than an earl was permitted to
and fly one of these noble hawks.
