CITE DEAD MAN
IN LIQUOR CASE
COMMISSION DISTURBS BONES
OF DEPARTED
VOTE TO SUMMON THE SPIRIT OF
DECEASED DEALER
One Miller Has Excellent Excuse for
Not Appearing and Defending
His Permit Against
Cancellation

In its vigorous efforts to clean up
the city after the deplorable conditions
that have existed for years the police
commission is stopping at nothing. 1t
even disturbs the bones of the dead
in its procedure. Last night the police
commission cited a man who has been
dead for more than eight years to APP
pear and show cause why his retail
liquor license should not be revoked.
Judge Trask rebelled at serving a
citation on a dead man, but when 1t
was shown that this was the easiest
way of getting at the facts he capt.
ulated and voted for the citation.
The matter of this retail liquor IL
cense was brought to the attention OF
the board by accident. Alnau d MAJ
zoni were cited to appear before the
police commission and show cause why
their restaurant liquor permit should
not be revoked. In response TO the
summons Aidel & Barrass appeared
and declared they conducted the res
taurant at 1872 San Fernando, under
the license issued to ATnati q MaZzonl.
When the commission learned OF TINS
there was only one thing for 1t 10 DO,
1t Cancelled the license held by Amat
& Mazzoni on the ground that the per-
sons to whom it was issued were no
longer using it. AS the license is re-
yoked Aidel & Barrass have no author
ity to sell liquor with meals.
Recalls Old Lease
The same firm owns retail saloon
In the room adjoining the restaurant.
and one of the commissioners asked II
the same condition prevailed in the
saloon. The attorney FOR Aidel & Bar
rass replied that conditions were sim
liar. but not the same. He declared
the license was held in the name of
p. E. Miller, and that Miller had ex-
eeuted a lease of the premises to the
Maier Brewing company number OF
years ago.
When the matter came up for citing
Miller to appear and show cause why
his permit should not be Cancelled be-
cause of his failure to use it and a
night for hearing the case was under
discussion, Prosecutor Guy Eddie, who
is handling the cases for the commits
sion, remarked dryly:
ANY night you choose will be as
convenient for Mr.. Miller as another.
He has been dead eight years"
Aidel & Barrass were notified that
as they had no license they would have
TO close up the saloon until one was
issued to them. They will make formal
application for such license at the next
meeting of the commission

PATROLMAN WHO TRIED TO
EXTORT MONEY IS DROPPED
ALLEGED That w. c. Pursell Attempted
to Secure Sum from Manager
of Rainier Saloon

BY order of the police commission
Patrolman W. c. Pursell was dropped
from the force. Pursell was accused OF
attempting to extort money from the
manager of the Rainier saloon.
The story as told to the commission
was that Pursell made an arrest in the
Rainier, and while doing so his hand
was injured by a broken glass. He re-
turned to the Rainier the next day and
declared he had been notified that he
could collect damages, and asked for
$3.50 in settlement of the injury, to his
hand. The commission believed this
looked like extortion and acted accord
ingly.
A charge of intoxication, which was
made at the same time, the police COM
mission declared had not been sus-
tanned.

Municipal Affairs
POLICE INSPECTOR OF
LICENSES IS BUSTED
NEW OFFICE TO BE CREATED
UNDER DlSHMAN
Official Will Rank as Sergeant and
Draw Pay as Others of Like
Rank, and Will Come
from Ranks

By the close margin of five to four
votes, the council yesterday acted
favorably on the mayors suggestion
and abolished the office of police license
inspector The vote stood Ayes, Wal
lace, Wren, Dromgold, Pease and Yon-
kin; noes, Blanchard, Healy, Lyon and
Clampitt.
In conformity with the suggestion of
the police commission, contained in a
message to the council by the mayor,
the city attorney was instructed to
draw an ordinance creating another
position of inspector of licenses. But
the new inspector of licenses will rank
as sergeant of the police department
under Chief Dishman and draw the pay
of such an officer.
According to the intention of the
police commission expressed at its
meeting Monday night this new in
spector will be selected from a member
of the present police force, to be chosen
for his fitness for such a purpose. In
addition to creating the new position
the ordinance will place the five license
| inspectors, now attached to the office
of e. e. Johnson, tax and license col
lector, under the supervision of the
police department.
With the exception of the detail that
the new license inspector be a sergeant
said he had nothing to do City Auditor
Mushet expressed himself in full accord
with the views of the mayor.
Mushet declared the licenses had
been irregularly collected, and was sup
ported in his contention by City Attor-
ney Hewitt. An ordinance of the city
provides that all licenses shall be paid
at the office of the tax and license col
lector. while the five men who are
nominally license inspectors have been
used to collect license fees. This, it is
alleged has taken much of their time
that might have been devoted to run
ming down license dodgers.
The city auditor spoke highly of the
work that has been performed by Jas.
A. Craig, who, until Monday night, was
police inspector of licenses Monday
night the police commission declared
Craigs office vacant, because his
emergency appointment had expired.
Mushet said Craig had made good
and that he had turned into the city
treasury thousands of dollars in license
fees that would otherwise not have been
collected
But whether the ordinance for the
new license inspector VIII finally pass
the council is matter of grave doubt.
Four members of the council seem
unalterably opposed to granting the
wishes of the mayor in this matter, and
although Yonkin voted that the or
dinance be prepared he did it with the
announced reservation that he did not
| know how he would vote for ii when Ii
! is presented at next weeks meeting of
| the council.
AS the ordinance will declare the new
inspector of licenses shall receive the
| salary of sergeant the city attorney
may hold that it requires six votes for
| passage. and in this event it is almost
| certain to be defeated.

TO CONDEMN LAND
FOR PARK PURPOSES
IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE
IN SIXTH WARD
Council Orders Advantage Taken of
New Law Which Allows Adj
jacent Property to Be
Assessed

Two actions under the new state law
providing for the condemnation of land
for park purposes were begun by the
council yesterday. Both parks in
volved are in the Sixth ward.
The new law provides that land may
be condemned for park purposes and
the cost assessed against the property
benefited. One of the cases in which
the council began action yesterday is
for the purpose of acquiring strip of
land on the northern boundary OF
South park.
South park is about a block square.
and when it was secured by the city a
strip along the northern edge was not
included. This has since been built up
with handsome homes, all fronting on
the park. These residences practically
have the park for their front yard.
Residents of the Sixth ward have
been trying for a number of years to
induce the city to purchase this strip
of land in order to square out the park,
but nothing has been done about the
matter because the city has never felt
itself rich enough to buy the property.
1t has been constantly increasing in
value, and if the land is purchased the
improvements will probably have to be
purchased also.
Asparagus Field Condemned
The matter was presented to John NJ
Glass, who is president of the Sixth
Ward Improvement association, which
is interested in the matter. The coun-
ell instructed the city attorney to pre-
sent an ordinance providing for the
condemnation of this property. An as
sessment district to include the terri
tory bounded by Vernon, Central and
Moneta avenues and Adams street was
fixed.
The second matter involving park
was presented by the Sixth Ward I'm
proVement association, and asked that
the land bounded by Hooper avenue,
Thirty-eighth street, the Hooper ave-
nue. car line and the subdivisions to the
north be condemped for park purposes.
The land it is designed to secure for
this park contains about twenty-five
acres and is practically the only piece
of property suitable for park purposes
to be found in the Sixth ward. This
land is not improved, but is used as an
asparagus field, and the cost win not
be excessive The citv attorney was
ordered to present an ordinance for this
park and to fix the assessment district
boundaries as Washington, Slauson,
Central and Alameda streets.
These two park condemnations are
but a forerunner of what is to come.
A plan is being preached in the Fourth
ward to secure land that is now owned
by the Rosedale cemetery association,
but which is separated from the ceme-
tary proper by Sixteenth street. for
park purposes. Residents of the Fifth
ward are interested in a similar prof.
ect on South Figueroa street, and the
First ward expects to make a park out
of the Arroyo Seco under the same con-
ditions. q

MAYORS Messenaer Retained

Frank White, mayors messenger,
still retains his position, because the
council could not muster six votes yes
terday to abolish the place. Mayor
Alexander has recommended that the
place be abolished because there was
no need for Ale messengers service.
When the ordinance came before the
council Yesterday the vote was five to
four, and the matter was lost. 1t will
