sired to be produced is the exact STATUS
of the Vrooman act work.
The last legislature thoughtlessly
passed a law that throws serious
cloud on Vrooman act work. The new
law provides that when sidewalks ana
curbs are laid the cost of the improve

and not to an assessment district, as
Is the case under the Vrooman act
Because of this conflict contractors are

In order to bring about this settle
ment as soon as possible the city at

clerk to force him to sign and cause to
be published the final ordinance for the
improvement of Haynes street which
is based on the Vrooman act law and
contains provisions for sidewalk and

The writ will be made returnable as
soon as possible and Mr.. Hewitt expects
to get action in a week or ten days.

SECOND ATTEMPT TO
END LIFE EFFECTUAL
Wife First Tries Inhalation of Gas,
but Proving Futile, Tries Car.
bollc Acid with Success
full Result

Failing in an attempt to end her life
by inhaling gas Monday night, Mrs.
Florence Minnich, a former inmate of
the state hospital for the insane at
Patton, later eluded her husband and
committed suicide by drinking a guam
tity of carbolic acid at her home at 624
Gladys avenue yesterday morning.
Mrs. Minnich had suffered from men

gas. She was semi-conscious when he
found her, and after turning off the gas

her quiet. He watched by her bedside

into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

partly empty bottle of carbolic acid

GERMANS WOULD SELL
LIQUORS AT SOCIALS
PETITION CITY COUNCIL FOR
DISPENSING PERMIT
Communication States That American
Teutons Do Not Wish to Violate
Law, but Do Wish to
Drink

Under the police commissions novel
policy of strictly enforcing all liquor
regulations, without fear or favor, the
German population in Los Angeles has
felt the interference of the law and
plans for their social events have been
disarranged.
In order to secure some relief, the
German American alliance, represent
ing twenty three societies, lodges and
orders, petitioned the council yesterday
to enact legislation that would give
the police commission authority to is
sue permits to bona fde societies when
they hold social gatherings to sell wine
and beer.
The petition represented the Ger
mans are in the habit of drinking mod
erately although they are firm believ-
ers in temperance, and they believe it
an infringement on their personal
rights not to have this privilege at their
social gatherings in Turnverein hall
and other similar places.
C. j. Rohde, president of the alliance,
who spoke in support of the petition,
declared that for twenty years or more
the Germans had been permitted to
serve liquor at their gatherings with
out interference of the law, and he
asked the custom which had been es-
tablished so long be permitted to con-
tinue. He did not want the authori-
ties to merely wink at the violation of
law, but wanted the council to enact
legislation which would make it possi-
BILE for the police commission to grant
temporary permits for one day or
night.
Councilman Wallace showed plainly
he was opposed to this suggestion.
IF / read the signs of the times
Alright" said Mr.. Wallace, they mean
that if we grant more permits to sell
liquor we will soon be selling less
liquor in this city. The sentiment of
the people is to go very slow in the
matter of granting licenses to sell
liquor. or soon all the licenses win be
taken away and Los Angeles will be
entirely dry"
The petition was referred to the po-
lice commission for suggestions on
what. If any. legislation ia desired

RUSSIAN FEARS HE AND
WIFE WILL BE MURDERED

Morals Bezaiff, Russian, living at
lat North Anderson street, appeared
at the central police station yesterday
and asked Deputy District Attorney
Alexander for a complaint against
John Awdakenoff Of 226 Hewitt street,
whom, Bezaiff says, has threatened to
slay the complainant and his wife be-
cause the latter refuses to quit her
husband and live with Awdakenoff.
THAT man has wife and family
in Russia" Bezaiff told the attorney
'He has been trying to force his at
tentions on my wife and told her he
loved her, and if she did not leave me
and come and live with him he was
going to kill both of us. He said he
was a night policeman and the Rus
slams in the neighborhood have to dc
as he SAYS. He has a big revolver
and threatens to use 1t.
Attorney Alexander referred the
matter to the police for investigation.

The council recognizes there is no
legal obligation on the part of the rail-
road to perform its part of the contract,
for the old council required nothing in
writing from the Southern Pacific Of
ficials. But there were enough wit
nesses to the promises made by Judge
Mckinley to prove that the new depot
was the occasion for the abandonment
of that portion of Fifth street.
