SANTA MONICA PLANS
NEW TOURIST HOTEL
MEETING TO BE CALLED TO
DISCUSS 1T
Offers Already Made to Take Stock in
Company if Organized to Erect
Resort and Location Is
Possible

SANTA MONICA, Feb. 1.-THE agi-
tation for a new tourist hotel has be-
come SO marked that it seems probable
definite action will be taken toward
that end very soon. Steps are already
being taken to call a meeting of inter
ested citizens for the purpose of rails
ing subscriptions for a stock company
to finance the enterprise.
F. E. Bunday, prominent realty
dealer of this city, has made a stand
iEg offer to take stock to the extent of
$1,000, and many others have signif1ed
their willingness to put money into the
company providing a suitable location
can be secured for the building.
A number of suggestions as to the
location of such a hotel have been put
forth, but the most popular site seems
to be on the Ocean Front park at the
foot Of Oregon avenue.
A more ideal place could not be had.
An absolutely unobstructed view of the
entire crescent bay may be had from
this point, and it is near the lines of
all street cars running on this beach,
both local and through. While the spot
is above the beach sufficiently to be
protected from the sharp winds, bath
ers can reach it in a few minutes walk.

CAN SHAKE NO MORE FOR
CIGARS OR MERCHANDISE
Ordinance Passed by Council Threat
ems to Make Trouble for Bridge
Whist Players

SANTA ANA, Feb. 17.-After much
discussion as to whether the city can
pass an ordinance prohibiting the
shaking Of dice for cigars or other
merchandise, City Attorney Heathman
has at length decided that the games
can be stopped. At the last meeting
of the city council an ordinance was
presented and passed to second read
ing, and will become a law after
March 1, making it a misdemeanor to
gamble with cards or dice for anything
other than money. AS the state law
provides a penalty for gambling for
money or its equivalent all gambling
will be under the ban here.
City Attorney Heathman in present
ing the ordinance called attention to
the fact that whist played for prizes
would be prohibited just as much as
poker played for beans or checks, the
inference being that social parties in
dulging in the seductive game of bridge
will face trouble if the pastime is in
dulged in after the ordinance becomes
law,

JUDGE DEHFY GIVES
DECREE TO COUNTY
SAN BERNARDINO COURTS I'M
P0RTANT RULING
Holds That Wlttram Is Justly Taxed
for Lands Over Which High
way Easements

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 17.-Judge
Dehey in the superior court today
handed down a decision for the county
of San Bernardino in the case of f.
Wittram, who sued the county for $4,000
in taxes that he claims to have wrong
fully paid on land that is used by the
Santa Fe railroad as a right of way
and by the county for a public high
way. The suit involves some novel
points of law that have never been
passed on very clearly by the courts OF
this state. The county claims that the
railroad and county simply have an
easement over the land and that, if the
roads are ever abandoned, the land re-
verts to Wittram and that he is the
real owner and should pay taxes or;
the same. Wittram will appeal to the
higher courts. The rights of way run
through an 1800-acre tract owned by
Wittram in Etiwanda.
