ISSUE OF DOG LICENSES
SKATERS ALL RECORDS
New Regime, Under Management of
Humane Animal League, Makes
1t Expensive to EVade
the Law

The great activity of the Humane
Animal league is shown in the unpre-
cedented number of dog licenses be-
ing issued. Yesterday License Clerk E.
B. LOWE issued 104, a record breaker
Never before have so many been issued
in one day. More than HOO have been
issued since Christmas
Under the new law governing the
city pound, owners of dogs must take
out a license or be fined in police
court, and the amount Of the fine is
much more than the 81 a, year charged
for the license.
Dog owners have come to realize
that there is no longer the lax system
that was in vogue under the Vacher
regime, when fees were paid by the
city for every dog killed. Under the
present, which is known as the Pasa-
dena system, the Humane Animal
league, which has control of the city
pound, receives rs per cent of all dog
licenses collected during the fiscal
year. 1t is to the interest of this or
ganization to see that the law is en-
forced.

MUST HAVE LICENSE
TO WORK HIS GAME
Picture Frame Operator Has Been
Busy for Months Without Paying
Anything Into the City
Treasury

w. L. Tribit, private detective in the
auditors office, has uncovered an old
game that is being worked in the city
on unsuspecting women. 1t is the pic
ture frame device, and the one who
has been conducting it has operated
IN Los Angeles five or six months.
There is no law to prevent the cheap
fake, but the operator will have to take
out license and pay for the time he
has been doing business in Los Angeles
or go to jail. He was told to appear at
the city clerks office this morning and
get his license.
The game is for a solicitor to visit a
house and tell the housewife he will
make her beautiful enlarged portrait
free. The picture is merely to be an
advertisement for his firm, he saws.
She gives him a photograph to enlarge
and the enlargement is returned in a
frame. The solicitor demands $25 or
any amount he pleases for the frame.
The housewife may demur against pay
ing this amount, in which case the COL
lector refuses to return the original
photograph.
In many instances these photographs
are the only ones existing of some loved
member of the family long since dead,
and rather than be deprived of the
photograph the woman submits to the
hOldup.

BARGAIN WEEK

HeraId's Treat for Vote Winners at
Pacific Exposition stirs Up En-
ergetic Well Wishers Of
School System

With the close last night Of bargain
week. in The Herald's trip to Seattle
contest the votes of the contestants
showed a material change and nota-
ble increase in ballots.
The figures prove the widespread in
terest in the big race because each to-
tai presents the united work of many
volunteer solicitors, persons whose sole
aim is to insure trip worth hundreds
of dollars for some particular teacher.
II is a tribute of appreciation from pu-
pills past or present, parents of school
children or of business men who want
to see their city lucky enough to have
representation in The Herald's "expedi-
ton to the Pacific northwest"
The interesting feature of this contest
is its uncertainty. Day by day the
votes as totaled change, putting this or
that teacher ahead and retiring some
others temporarily further down the
list.
A few minutes work here and a few
hours there are significant in this vot-
ing game, and the results will be we'll
worth the struggle.
The trip to Seattle and the exposition
are not all the attractions that are Of
fered. Puget sound, upon which Seat
tie is situated, has been declared by
many noted travellers to be the most
beautiful body of water in the world.
Boats TO all parts or II ledVe SedIIIe
docks almost hourly. 1t has 1000 miles
of shore line. A score of mountain re-
sorts can be reached in a few hours
from Seattle, and game of every kind
of feather, fin and fur-abound in the
water, lowlands and mountains. The
open season for all varieties of game
comes within the exposition period.
The exposition will stand on the
grounds of the University of Washing
ton and seven of the buildings are of
permanent construction, to revert to
the university when the exposition is
over. They are the auditorium, fine
arts, machinery hall, forestry, Wash
irgton state, Arctic Brotherhood and
women's.
This is the first time that permanent
buildings have been erected for an eX-
position. In all $605, 900 has been spent
in buildings that will be added to those
already owned by the university.

ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
ASSAULTING COMEDIAN

Sam Dugan, former policeman, was
arrested last night as the result of an
alteration with Ferris Hartman. the
comedian
The warrant charging Dugan with
battery on the person of Ferris Hart
man was sworn to by T. A. Spalding, a
business associate of Hartman. He
called at the office of the deputy dis
trict attorney and told the story of
the attack on Hartman. The complaint
was issued by Deputy District Attor-
ney Paul Mccormick and was received
by the warrant officer at o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
According to the police Dugan ap-
peared at the station on the night he
is alleged to have attacked Hartman.
He told the police he hit a man and
wanted to know if he was wanted. He
was told nothing had been reported
and he was allowed to go.
Yesterday morning, say the police,
Dugan visited the station several times
and asked if warrant had been issued
for his arrest. He then told them he
was going to the race track, where, it
is said, he is employed by a book
maker, and stated that if a complaint
should be issued against him he would
appear in the morning if notified by
telephone.

POLICE COMMISSIONERS ASKS
TOBACCO BE SENT PRISONERS

Police Commissioner H. B. Woodill
suggests it would be a most humani-
tartan thing for the philanthropists to
send some chewing tobacco to the
workhouse for the benefit of the pris-
oners confined there.
Nearly all these prisoners are to-
bacco users, and some of them become
nearly frantic because they cannot Sc
cure a little tobacco" said Mr.. Wood
i'll yesterday. ga few days ago some
well meaning woman sent forty boxes
of candy to the workhouse for the pris-
oners. This candy was appreciated very
much; but if some kind-hearted per-
sons would only send little chewing
tobacco in care of Lieutenant Dixon
the prisoners would bless them for
ever.
cit might prevent crime, too, by some
of these prisoners after they are re-
leased. 1t is within the bounds of pos
sibility that some of these men would
commit a holdup or robbery when re-
leased without a cent in their pockets
in order to buy a little piece of to-
bacco."

WANT GARBAGE CANS
FETCHED FROM REAR
Board of Public Works Produces Estl.
mates Showing That Expense
to City Will Be One
Half Greater

A committee from the Friday Morn
ing club appeared before the board OF
public works yesterday to ask that
when the garbage contract was let for
the following year it should contain d
clause making it compulsory to take
the garbage cans from the rear Of prop
erty instead of from the lawns, as is
new the case.
When the garbage matter was up
three years ago the womens organiza-
tions of the city made the same pro-
posals to the board of public works, but
it was found impracticable on account
of the expense.
1t is hard to convince persons not
familiar with the details of conducting
an immense concern like the municipal
government how walking from the
front to the rear to get a garbage can
is expensive, but the board patiently
shows complainants how the extra ex-
pense is incurred.
While taking the cans from the rear
of property in a few instances would
have little effect on the payroll of the
garbage department, when done for the
entire city it would make the expense
just one-half greater, according to esti-
mates made by D. K. Edwards.
The city rents wagons and teams
from Sam Mcclure and pays $40 d
month for each team. The drivers and
garbage collectors are paid by the city.
Because of the extra time that would
be consumed it would take half as
many more teams and half as many
more drivers to take the garbage from
the rear. Should the contract for col
lecting garbage be let to a private or
ganization for hog feeding it is ex-
pected the hog breeders will collect the
garbage for the garbage itself, and at
no expense to the city.
The board fears it would have a bad
effect on proposals to be submitted if
it were demanded that the garbage be
collected from the rear.

W0ULD-BE THIEF PROVES
TOO CLUMSY FOR PROFIT

An anxious would-be thief destroyed
his opportunity for stealing anything
from the Working Boys home, 102S
South Main street, early Sunday morn
ing. because in his haste he overturned
the bed occupied by the matron, Mrs.
Mary Simkins. The woman was sound
asleep at the time and was awakened
only when she felt herself pinned be-
tween the mattress and the wall
Finding he had disturbed the occu-
pant Of the bed, the intruder entered
another room occupied by Miss Mar
jean Vance, assistant matron, and
aroused her by stumbling over a piece
of furniture. She screamed for help
and several boys hurried to her aid.
The miscreant ran down the rear stairs
without having secured anything.
