BUT ONE KNOCKOUT BLOW
Delivered In the Five Bouts at City
Hall Tuesday Night.

Although there was but one actual
knockout blow delivered in the five Don
irg bouts at City hall Tuesday night
some clever work WAS seen. The hshs
fans did not tuln ont in as large numbers
as at some of tn" previous bouts. bNi
Hose who did attend appeared to be well
satisfied The members of the city coun-
ri, were present at the special invita-
tlon of Promoter Hanks
:, The bout between Young Joe Cans of
augusta and Young Banks of Lewiston
was terminated in the third round when
Banks left landed on the colored lad
and sent him through the ropes to III"
floor. Cans got up, but his seconds did
not care to have him continue the con
test in which he was plainly being worst
ed
The bout between Shadow Mccormick:
OF Lewiston and Bobby Goede of Augusta
was lively one while it lasted. Both
scrappers started in tcrc"ly in the first
round. Goo!e appearing TO have decide"
advantage. The substantial Lewiston
Shadow did most of the leading in the
second round and when the gong sounded
had Goode erogsy. Goode recovered IN
the third round and was putting up Il
good defence when right upper cut on
the under jaw sent hiEl down for the
CENT
What promised to he as good bout
as there was for the evening WAS married
by deliberate foulinG on the part of Kid
ODea of Boston when he perceived that
his opponent, Young Nadeau of Lewiston.
was gradually wearing him out. O'Dea
had the advantage in the opening round.
but Nadeau showed up strong in the sec
ond round. Referee Sears as soon as h
saw that the foul tactics on the part OF
O Dea were not by accident. ordered him
out of the ring.
Young Delaney of Northboro stood up
against Young Cote Of Biddeford for six
rounds and when the gong sounded at
the end of the last round appeared to be
able to stand another six rounds with the
York county boy. Cote was a disappoint-
ment. He failed to show the swiftness
he was supposed to possess and for the
most part stalled along except when De-
laney compelled him to get busy. In the
second and third rounds Cote made some
pretence at getting into the game. but
found Delaney was quite his match. and
after that did not attempt to force the
fighting.
The main bout demonstrated Two hings:
That George Alger of Boston is :: clever
tighter and that Gus I.arrahpe Of Lewis
ton can take liberal amount OF punish
msnt and At the same time put in 4 faw
blows that will keep his opponent guess
ing. Once Alger had Larrabcc against TIC
ropes and il looked for brief moment
as i! he would finish the Lewiston boy
then and there. but Larrabee ca1'c back
at him with Il couple of right handlers
that made Algcr do some Lively ducllnG.
In the last round I.arrabce made a strong
play for a Knockout but was urable to
rake Roadway against the superior skill
of the Boston fighter. Larrahee at the
close of the bout showed considerable evil
dences of his punishment. Will" Aleer ap

went into the ring.

ACTION ON LIQUOR
PERMITS DEFERRED
BRINK AND MIL0VICH APPLlCA'
TONS NOT WITHDRAWN
Condition of Appointing New Police
Commissioner Is That He
Will Vote Against
Them

Something slipped a cog last night
and the prearranged program for John
Brink and Anthony Milovich to with
draw their applications for restaurant
permits did not go through. These
applications were not withdrawn, but
action on them was delayed two weeks.
Two members of the commission are
in favor of restoring these permits; but
three others are not and of the three
the mayor is one. He win make il a
condition of the police commissioner
he appoints to succeed j. j. Andrews
that he will vote against restoring
liouor permits to Brink and MlloVich.
These two formerly held restaurant
liquor permits, Brink for the Saddle
rock. 23G South Spring, and MilOvich
for the New York Kitchen, 462 South
Main. Their permits were revoked
when it was shown their places had
violated the restaurant liquor ordi-
nances. but Commissioners Trask and
Graham believed they had been suf-
ficiently punished by the suspension of
their permits for several weeks.
Revoking a permit and then granting
it after a lapse of time has been\ done
by the commission when the violation
Of law was not fragrant 1t was done
last night when the commission unan-
imously voted to restore the wholesale
permit to Sol Israel 518 West Seventh
street. This permit was revoked two
weeks ago, but the violation Of law
was not considered flagrant The
charge was that an old man tenn
porarily employed at the place had
sold liquor in half pints.

One of the interesting features of

informal talk by Mrs. Ferris on her
experiences 1000 feet in the air in a
balloon. She described the trip which

Municipal Affairs
BREWERY LICENSE
GAME is UNFOLDED
FOUR SALOONS HELD UNDER
NAME OF ONE MAN
F. B. Hahn, Former Maier Employe,
Tells Police Commission How
Permits Are Held by
"StraW" Men

+. b. Hahn, a former employe of the
Maier Brewing company, last night
gave the police commission information
it has been anxious to get. He told of
six saloons in Los Angeles for which
the licenses are held in the names of
employees of the Maier Brewing COM
pany who are merely tools of the
brewery.
Four of these licenses are in the
name of II. p. Roberts, who has been
the outside" man for the Maier brew
cry for a number of years. These four
saloons are at 490 Central avenue, 712
East First street. S43 South Broadway
and 410 Front street. San Pedro.
Another saloon to which Mr.. Hahn
referred is that at 421 South Main
street. The license for this saloon is
held in the name Of A. c. Pitcher.
Hahn declares Pitcher is a barber and
has not been in the saloon half a dozen
times in year; that he acts as agent
for the brewery, and that W. b. Can
non conducts the place and deposits
the money i'm the name of T. p. Rob
erts, who holds more licenses than any
other man in the city.
The most interesting information
Hahn gave the commission was in re-
gard to the saloon at 1865 North Main
street. The license for this saloon is
held in his own name and conducted
by +. Casey and John O'Connor. He
declared he was acting for the brewery
when he applied for the permit and
that the brewery received all thS
profits while he had the saloon. He
declared that when he left the brewery
Casey and O'Connor offered to give
him $1,000 to sign a release of his per
nit and have it transferred to them
selves. He asked that this permit
no .avolxed and the commission acted
on his suggestion.
Hahn told the commission that the
men actually in charge of the saloons
would be glad to be relieved of the
burden the breweries impose on them,
but were afraid to go before the po-
lice commission and ask that they be
given the permits. Commissioner Top
ham put himself squarely on record
as being in favor of granting the per-
mits to the men in charge if they
would apply.
-Iahn promises to have more infor-
nation along the same lines for the
commission to digest next Monday
night, and in the meantime the infor-
nation he gave the commission will
be investigated thoroughly by Acting
Chief Bradish.
A man said to be an agent of the
brewery got Hahn into an automobile
last night before the police commission
met and tried to spirit him out of town
so he could not be present.
AS about 100 permits held by brew
cries are in jeopardy if the informa-
tion given by Hahn is followed to its
limits, the breweries face the proba-
bility of losing one of their most val
liable assets, and it will be worth while
for them to keep Hahn where he can
do the least harm.

NEW STREET LIGHTING
CONTRACT TO BE MADE
Council Will Today Be Asked to Ad-
Vertise for Bids on Specifica-
tions Prepared

The contract for lighting the streets
will expire December 81, and the board
Of public works will ask the council
today to authorize it to advertise for
bids.
Specifications have been drawn by
the city electrician and the city at
torney, and the contract will provide
for one year, with an alternative of a
three-year contract. If the bids re-
ceived for the three-year contract are
relatively lower than for one year the
contract will be awarded for the longer
period.
There seldom is much competition
among the lighting companies. They
have their poles and conduits in certain
places in the city. and they bid for
lighting the streets in the districts
where the are prepared, seldom en-
tering each others fields.

Of making this gas is dangerous and a
menace to their homes and property.

indianapolis and, in the last few
years, there have been three eXplo-
sions at the indianapolis factory caus-
ing the death of several. This gas is
used chiefly as an automobile light.

thusiasm I'm the work of securing their
votes. Many were helped by having a
great number of friends who were do

object to Street Assessment

Property owners in the assessment
district for the opening and widening
of Stanford avenue between Vernon
avenue and Forty-nfth street will ask
the council today to abandon proceed
ings for this improvement. They give
as reasons for asking that the work
be stopped that they are assessed too
high in proportion to the benefits they
will derive, that the amount paid for
condemned property is too much, and
that the necessity for opening the
street. which was to have assisted in
the drainage of the district. has been
removed by reason of the fact that
the district is we'll drained in a diff
ferent way.

VERNON HOG RAISERS MAY
OBTAIN GARBAGE CONTRACT
Council Will Be Asked to Make Pro-
vision for Collection Until C. A.
Alexander Can Take Hold

As c. A. Alexander cannot take over
the collection of garbage as soon as
he had anticipated, the board of pub
lie works will ask the council today
for authority to enter into a contract
with the Vernon Livestock association
to collect garbage during January.
The garbage collected by this asso-
citation is fed to hogs and poultry in
Vernon. 1t appears to be a most
profitable investment, for p. J. Durbin,
head of this association, displayed a
check yesterday from the Los Angeles
Packing company for $336S. This
money was paid him for l50 head Of
hogs, and Mr.. Durbin says that the
United States inspector who examined
the hogs before they We're purchased
declared them to be the best hogs he
had seen during the year.
"After raising them on garbage VIC
give them 80 days on grain TO harden
them" said Mr.. Durbn as an eXplana-
tion of the quality of his pork.
