BAKERIES MUST OBSERVE
RULES OR PAY PENALTIES

Bakeries will have to live up to the
law in the matter of permits or they
will not have these necessary adJuncts
to their business.
j. R. Coldwell, bakery inspector, laid
the cases of number of violators OF
this permit law before Mayor Alexan-
der Yesterday and at the suggestion
of the mayor will present a list Of
delinquents to the board of health at
its next meeting. These delinquents
will be notified to get their permits in
a hurry or they will not be granted the
right to conduct bakeries.
The law requires that within ten
days after a bakery permit is granted
by the board of health the applicant
must secure this permit of the health
department. He must then take it to
the license clerk and get his license.
Many of these persons have secured
the license without getting the permit.
Hereafter if the permits are not Sc
cured within the required ten days they

DOG FRIGHTENS

CANNES BARKS INTERRUPT
WORK OF CRAcksMEN
CROOKS START TO FORCE A
SAFE OPEN
Yegpmen Leave Saloon of l.. Halbriter
SO PrecipItateIy They Leave All
Their Tools Scattered on
the Floor

The barking of dog frustrated the
attempt of craftsmen to blow the safe
in the saloon Of L. Halbriter, Seventh
street and Santa Fe avenue, after the
men had drilled hole in the safe and
were prepared to set off the fuse early
yesterday morning. The men left In
such haste that their full outfit, con-
sisting of a blacksmith's hammer, a
Jimmy" soap, nitro-glycerine, O. coil
of fuse and other articles were aban-
doned.
The attempted robbery was dis
covered yesterday morning when the
proprietor opened the place. He found
q side door standing ajar, and marks
on the facing showed 1t had been forced
open with a crowbar. A further inves-
tigation revealed the full outfit OF
burglars tools lying on the floor in
front of the safe, just above the COM
bination disk The cracks around the
edges of the door had been filled with
soap. A small piece OF fuse with cap
was lying near.
The men evidently were in readiness
to set off the charge when they were
frightened away.
A person living near the saloon
stated he heard a dog barking early
yesterday morning and shortly after
heard the sounds of footsteps as though
several persons were walking rapidly.
The matter was reported to the police
yesterday morning and detectives are
working on the case. The saloon
keeper told the police that the cash
register had not been molested and that
nothing had been taken.

PARK commissioners
HOLD FIRST MEETING
Hour Changed from 10 A. M. to q p. M
to Suit Convenience
of Members

The new park commission met yester-
day. Three of the four new members
Stoddard Jess Richmond Plant and c.
H. Randall-were present, but Jesse T.
Waterman was out of the city and
could not attend.
AS 1880 o'clock in the morning is not
convenient hour for meeting the time
was changed to o'clock, and hereafter
the park board will meet at o'clock in
the afternoon on the second and fourth
Wednesdays.
AS no action was taken toward ap-
pointing a new secretary of the park
commission, 1t is expected that r. H.
Mullaly will continue to hold that posi-
ton. Mr. Mulally has been secretary of
the park department for more than four
years and he knows the details of the
work and the requirements of the park
department better than anyone else
with the exception of Superintendent
Morley.
The new commission will make a tour
of most of the parks Saturday after
noon with a view to determining the
most urgent needs. One matter before
the commission is the construction of a
road up Mount Hollywood, which it is
estimated will cost about $4,000.

HANGS HIMSELF WHILE
IN DESPONDENT MOOD
GRIEF OVER DEATH OF WIFE
CAUSES SUICIDE
EmpIoye of Mailer Brewing Company
Ends His Life After Attendance
at Funeral of Former
Employer

Ludwig Fishback, 35 years old, an
employee of the Maier Brewing COM
pany, committed suicide by hanging
himself from tree in the rear of his
home at Forty-seventh street and
Santa Fe avenue. Dependency due to
grief over the death of his wife q
month ago prompted the act.
From a cheerful, talkative man he
had become morose and taciturn since
the death of his wife. He frequently
complained of pains in his head and
took to drinking.
Tuesday he attended the funeral OF
his former employer and on his return
home seemed more depressed than
usual and scarcely spoke to any one.
His attendance at the burial evidently
added to his dependency and he
brooded over the death of his wife I'M
til he decided to end his troubles.
He made careful preparations. and
no one in the house was aware of his
intentions until $50 o'clock yesterday
morning, when Henrietta Goltz, the
housekeeper, entered the yard and
found the body of Fishback swaying
gently in the breeze, suspended by a
rope from the limb of tree.
The face was black and distorted.
The feet barely were touching the
ground and death had resulted from
strangulation. A small box nearby
showed that Fischback had tied the
rope about the limb, stepped on the
bog and fastened the moose about his
neck, then kicked the box from under
him.
The coroner was, notified shortly aft
err the discovery was made. He or
dered the body removed to the under
taking establishment of Bresee Bros.
1t is probable the coroner will sign q
certificate of suicide without holding
an inquest.
Fischback leaves four small children.
ranging from to 10 years old. He
owned some real estate and leaves
them in comfortable circumstances.

MONEY GONE, PRIDE
REMAINS TO NEvADA'S
FORMER MILLl0NAIRES
STILL HAVE THEIR MAIL SENT
TO BIG HOTELS
Erstwhlle Prospectors Who Grew Rich
In GoIdfieId's PaImy Days Make
Brave Effort to Keep
UP Appearances
"Any mail from Goldheld?"

Each day the clerks in the first-class
hotels OF Los Angeles and at the Alex
andria in particular are asked this
question, and thereby hangs tale.
In the days gone by, when Goldheld,
New, became famous throughout the
world as the great gold-producing
country, men who worked with pick
and shovel became millionaires in
few hours. The miners fairly rolled In
money, and the little mining town be-
came a rendezvous of those who seek
that which glitters.
In q majority of cases the searchers
were successful, and Goldfeld boosted
Of more millionaires to the square
mile than any other place on the map.
Becoming a millionaire over night
gave the former porspectors the cues
ton to solve of how they should spend
their money.
They solved the question quickly,
spent their money freely, and much of
it went to enrich the hotels and busi-
ness places OF Los Angeles.
In those days the Goldfield million
aires flocked to Los Angeles and spent
their easy money freely and lavishly,
and the signature on a hotel register,
followed by the magic word, Cold
field" spelled prosperity in golden let
tiers.
Then the change came--a little over
year ago-and fortunes Washed as
quickly as they had been gathered. The
crash left millionaires of yesterday
practically penniless or with a mere
pittance or percentage of a once prince
ly fortune.
But the desire to revisit the Angel
city still remained, and many of those
same persons make their annual pill
grimage to Los Angeles and with the
pride that is characteristic still at
tempt to keep up appearances. But
instead of living at the first-class
hotels, financial reverses necessitate
more economical quarters. But pride
forbids that the change should be
known, and for the benefit of friends
and neighbors Eat home" the forward
ing address is generally Hotel Alex
andria."
This explains the daily query, "Any
mail from Goldfield today?" smile of
recognition and back to the quarters
in keeping with the diminished pocket
book.

CITY MUST PAY BIG
ROYALTY FOR PAVING
BOSTON FIRM WINS SUIT
OVER PATENT
Sunset Boulevard to Be Improved, but
All Preliminary Work Must
Be Performed for
Second Time

BY paying a royalty Of Is cents Q
SQUARE ward. Warren Brothers of Bos-
ton. Mass, have agreed to permit the
use of their patent on asphalt-con-
crete pavement, known as the Ditu-
olithic process, on Sunset boulevard
This is q new process of mixing as
phalt and concrete. 1t is declared to
be a better pavement than the pure
asphalt surface and to be cheaper. The
payment of royalties will make the
work cost almost as much as asphalt,
but in spite of this fact, the property
owners on Sunset boulevard have ask
ed that this paving material be used.
Failure to agree with Warren Broth
ers has held up the matter of the
Sunset boulevard pavement, although
twice the work has gone so far as re-
ceiving bids, and once the contract was
awarded to the Pattillo CONSTRUCTION
company.
But the entire process must be re-
peated. as has been the case twice
before. When bids were first received
the Pattillo company and the Barber
Asphalt company were within $50 CT
each other. 1t was then found that
the specifications were faulty. All bids
were rejected and the work readver-
tised. Then the Patillo company was
much the lowest, bidding about $4,000
lower than It's first bid. But before
the contract was signed the Warren
Brothers won their suit for the patent
in the United States appellate court
and the city attorney advised the board
that II the contract was signed the
city would be held liable for royalties
for using the patent process.
This made 1t necessary to secure the
consent of the Warren Brothers for
the use of the process, and before this
was done the time had expired for
signing the contract. Then proceedings
had to be abandoned and the work
done over
AS the first step in the proceedings
the city council Tuesday passed the
ordinance of intention. 1t will require
about six weeks for the proceedings to
reach the point OF advertising for bids.
When bids are again received the price
will be much higher, because the con-
tractors will have to figure in the cost
Of the royalty.

MAYOR ALEXANDER HEARS
MANY HARD LUCK TALES

Mayor Alexander has been pestered
to death by applicants for positions.
Many heart-rending stories of poverty
and inability to get work have been
told him, but he Is powerless to help.
Every position is under civil service;
even the workers on the streets are
compelled to register with the civil
service department
Many have applied for free permits
to vend small articles on the street,
and this is another matter in which
the mayor has no jurisdiction. The
council has appropriated $25 a month
to the Associated Charities to be used
exclusively for the purpose of paying
for permits for needy applicants. and
these applicants to the Associated

the Hazard Reservoir school site for

considers the Hazard park site is not
suitable for school purposes. This trade

BARK MABEL |. MEYERS.
A Thrilling Experience on her last Voy

"A AMiihiiS LAPSiiCHSS vi HeI idSl voyage.
Boston, July 18th. The barkentne Mabel
Meyers, Capt. Meyers, was towed up the har-
Dor yesterday by the tug Neponset which
brought her from Bucksport, Me-, where she
had just finished discharging a cargo of sicilian
salt
Since her last visit to Boston the vessel has
passed through many thrilling experiences. On
board the vessel is Mrs. Meyers, the brave
wife of the captain, and she stood nobly by her
husband when danger threatened.
The Meyers carried a cargo of fruit box
shocks from Stockton, Me-, to the Mediterran-
can. Part of the cargo was destined for Mes
sina and part for Castellamare.
On the run from Castelamare to Trapani the
vessel had the closest call from destruction
she ever had. She was off cape San Vieto on
the northeasterly end of Sicily, when the wind
fell calm and the vessel began to drift toward
the treacherous lodges. The water was 200
fathoms, so that to anchor was out of the
question. Steadily she moved toward the shore.
Capt. Meyers made every preparation to aban-
don her, fully expecting that she was doomed.
The boats were swung out and provsioned.
Another danger threatened, for if the crew
were compelled to leave the vessel they might
have fallen into the hands of the pirates, who
infest that vicinity.
But when the doom of the staunch craft
seemed sealed light puff of wind saved her.
Capt Meyers didn't have room to tack or wear
around, SO he put the yards aback and backed
her off stern first. 1t was a delicate piece of
seamanship, but it was successfully accom-
plished and the barkentine was saved.
She will load a cargo of 600,0 900 feet of lum-
Der at this port for Montevideo
