Try Again

Candidates for municipal offices con-
tinue to get petitions from the city

that will place their names on the di-
rect primary ticket. Four such petit
tions wero issued yesterday.
City Clerk Harry j. Lelande himself
issued petition to Harry j. Lelande,
candidate for city clerk. Mr.. Lelande
has held the job so long that he cannot
bear to retire TO private life, and there
are thousands of persons In Los An
geles who would feel badly if Mr.. Le-
lande ever gave up the job as city
clerk. He was elected three years ago
without any opposition, being indorsed
by Democrats, Republicans and non
partisans. He had half expected to
retire and devote his entire time to
his baseball interests, but he thinks he
will take another whirl at it.
H. Ivor Thomas took out a petition
for the position of auditor. Mr.. Thomas
Is deputy auditor now and is the ex-
pert accountant who had large share
in framing the budger presented last
week.
The Prohibition party secured pc
tition and will indorse the men it wants
to run for office. The names of these
men will be placed on the petition and
circulated.
]. D. Pope is the only one who took
out a petition for the council yester-
day. Mr.. Pope is a prominent citizen

were practically notified last night that
1t would do them no good to wait for
the permit.
The commission believes It has gone
far enough in granting restaurant per-
mits to the Japanese. About twenty
Japanese restaurant liquor selling per-
mits have been granted and this is to
stop for a time.
At a melting OF the commission a week
ago Chief Dishman reported he con-
sidered 1t a good stroke of policy to
grant permits to the Japanese. -4e said
that those who had received the per-
mits had been conducting blind pigs
before they were granted and the city
was now getting the revenue from the
licenses.
The Japanese who received permits
have also been useful in getting in
formation against their countrymen
who conduct blind pigs and the police
have used this information to the best
advantage. A Japanese who has to pay
$75 a month for his license does not
propose to sell in competition with an
other one of his countrymen who pays
nothing to the city for the privilege.

WILL TEST DECISION BY
JUDGE OF KERN COUNTY

Believing that the decision of Judge
Bennett of Bakersfield that the new
four-mile liquor bill is not constitu-
tionaI is not well founded, the city of
Los Angeles, through its legal depart
ment, will test the matter by taking a
case to the supreme court To this
end the city will have some one who
has violated the new law on the line
of the aqueduct arrested.
This decision was reached yesterday
by City Attorney Hewitt and w B.
Mathews, attorney for the aqueduct,
after a conference between the two
lasting nearly all the morning.
This decision came after the decision
by Judge Bennett in a case in Kern
county declaring the law unconstitu-
tional and ordering the release of A. c.
Cuddeback, who operates a saloon at
Little Lake, one of the points on the
aoueduct. This saloon has been a
source of much annoyance to the aque-
duct officials. Little Lake is one of the
largest camps on the aqueduct, and is
patronized by many of the men.

The mayor referred the application to

The letter was written August l3,
the day after the election when san

to lose any time. He says the people
of San Pedro expect speedy relief IN
the matter of ferries.

the latter sort of work is to him from
the knack of discovering how funny his

he has cracked them. His best gags
often are sprung in this minor key, so
to speak, a sort of running fire of sotto

a more cordial welcome than was ac-
corded him.
The Electrified Girl Review Is
spectacular revival of the Gibson girl,
of whom l had imagined the world was
becoming deservedly tired. The young
women who participated yesterday
were not noted for vocal ability, but
several of them had good looks and
shapely figures, and the development
of the story of the Gibson widow has
not a little charm. OF the individual
impersonations those of Miss Harring-
ton, Miss Doyle and Miss Clara Nelson
were carefully and attractiYely as
sumed with considerable fidelity to the
drawings. Miss West is decidedly too
qipued and peevish looking to embody
the nun conVincingly.
The three Donals give an interesting
exhibition of muscle and agility in an
acrobatic act, and the moving pictures
are entertaining, particularly those de-
picting various makes of aeroplanes in
action. Altogether it is a good bill,
with the best wearing holdovers 1 have
seen at the Orpheum since Eiks' week.

musical comedy at Fischer's this week
There ought to be more acts, for 1t Is
highly entertaining and far in advnce
of any production Allen Curtis mas
staged so far at Fischer's.
1t abounds throughout with wit
ticlsms ludicrous situations and lines
that were made to order for laugh
producing. The scheme of the playlet
lies around a widow of Paris bereft OF
facial beauty but not lacking in bodily
adOrnment, who wishes again to be-
come a bride. Her path is not strewn
with roses, and she only succeeds in
marrying a husband after he has
tainted.
The plot of the play. however is en-

ally fine work of the chorus and its
elaboration of costume in the different
numbers In addition to the chorus
number the Rube quartet comes in for
share of the applause. Arthur Clam
age led the most striking number Of
the chorus renditions in "My Gal
Irene" The chorus girls were dressed
as country lads and lassies. In Rain
bow" led by Estelle Praeger, the girls
were dressed in Indian costumes that
were very striking.
Altogether the bill is high class, clean
and entertaining.

GARBAGE LAW
DELAYED AGAIN
HOTEL ORDINANCE IS NOT
READY FOR COUNCIL
Council Probably Will Insist That All
Persons Who Handle Waste
Must File Adequate
Bond

Another disappointment has been
added to the many that has caused
such a long delay in the new garbage
contract Assistant City Attorney
Shenk cannot have the hotel ordinance
ready for the council today, and unless
the council meets some time during the
week it will be next Tuesday before
the preliminary ordinance can be pre-
sented.
This delay is due to the fact that
in drawing up the ordinances hereto
fore, the market refuse had been over
looked. This is an important part 'of
the garbage collection and Will be in
cluded in what has come to be known
as the hotel ordinance.
The hotel ordinance gives hotel and
restaurant men the right to dispose OF
their own garbage in any way they see
fit. so long as it is done In a sanitary
manner The refuse from the kitchens
of the hotels and restaurants makes the
best kind of hog feed. and this is sold
to the hog raisers. Refuse from the
city markets is included in the same
category.
When the city first proposed to col
lect all the garbage the hotel and res
taurant men raised a protest. They
claimed it was a violation of their per-
sonal privilege to have the city take
a part of their revenue by collecting
their garbage and dtsposlng OF IL WITH
out any remuneration to them. Wmie
the law allows municipality 10 col
lect the garbage of hotels and restau-
rants as a sanitary measure, the board
considered the protest of the hotel men
so well founded that it provided they
should have the privilege of disposing
of it themselves.
The contractor must know what he is
expected to handle and all persons VINO
wish to handle their own garbage must
file a statement and a bond with the
board of public works within fifteen
days after the passage of the hotel or
dinance

fore the police commission last night
to show cause why it's permit should
not be revoked for having sold liquor
on election day, August T.

they had collected bottles and glasses
several of which contained beer, be-
tween and o'clock, but neither of the
officers could swear that liquor had
been sold in the place at the time in

The witnesses called by the prosecu-

and in fact their evidence leaned more
toward the side of the defense They
all seemed to be friendly with the pro-
prietor of the place.
The case was taken under advise

strong and M. j. McGarry who was at

talked freely of the reconciliation, though at their very earnest solicitation their names are not being published.
 The younger man is well known in race horse circles. especially at the New Or leans, Hot Springs and Latonia circles. The elder man comes from prominent South Alabama family, and up to the panic of 1907 was extremely wealthy. He lost heavily then, and this coupled with two large fires. which destroyed plants he was operating and upon which he happened to have little insurance, caused him to lose practically all of it.
 He is a widower. his wife having died about five years ago. leaving him child less His home and farm near a little town in South Alabama were mortgaged and the mortgage was foreclosed late in November. Money all gone. he came to Birmingham in an effort to secure em- ployment arriving here about December with BPS in his pocket. His efforts to secure employment were in vain and he soon found himself on the streets, with what little baggage he had being held for room rent. His last meal was eaten Thursday and according to his statement his hunger became so intense that he broke his pride and decided to beg for assistance. The hour he started he stated was impressed upon his mem ory and was seven minutes to 2 and also added that he approached IA men and the only one who turned him down was a man for whom he had done much.
 The man who approached the younger brother ip the pOstoffice was man from the home town of both men, who had wit messed the old mans dilemma, but who was unable to help him on account of his own financial stress.
 It appears that the older brother had reproached the younger one for his gam bling tendencies way back in the early sos and that the younger one had left home swearing never to return or speak to the older one again, and since then neither had spoken to the other until their meeting yesterday afternoon.
 The younger brother took the other one to a restaurant, but would not let him eat nothing but soup at first for fear that he might become sick if he ate heartily after his several days fast Thg younger one is well fixed financially and will take his brother to his home in New Orleans.

A reconciliation between two brothers who had not spoken for over a quarter of a century was affected yesterday after noon in the postoffioe corridor, and the sight of the two men caressing each other-one looking the full three score and ten years and the other apparently over 50-created somewhat of a sensation.
 The cider man had been hanging around the corridor for some time and in a bashful. diffident way had approached a number of men passing in and out of the place. Contrary to the fate of most persons thus soliciting assistance he was handed something by nearly every per son he approached. From his manner 1t was easy to see that he was unused to making such requests. and this demeanor undoubtedly convinced many of the men whom he approached that he was in ab- solute reed
 He had been in the corridor for about two hours when a handsome looking. gray-haired man, well dressed came strid- ing in The old man strengthened up im- mediately and both men paused when they caught sight of each other. A long look passed between them, then each walked past the other. the old man walk ing from the Eighteenth street entrance around to the Second avenue entrance, while the other man walked toward the stamp window
 Just before he reached the window a man stepped up to him and said some thing very low Instantly he turned around and caught up with the other man just as he reached the Second avenue door,
 'Buddie, wait minute, please" was what he said as he placed his hand upon the elder mans shoulder. T don't know that I care to- was the reply he re- ceived. He repeated his request again and this time the old man moved over to the steps leading to the second floor, out of the way of the ver-moving crowd. There a conversation lasting several min utes took place, and though the elder man shook his head in the negative and drew away several times, the younger mans pleading seem to have effect, and the brothers suddenly caressed each oth- CT. causing several passerbys to come to d sudden halt with surprise.
 After a moment the two men walked off, going up Second avenue to Nine teenth street, where they entered a cafe. They were approached by reporter and
