Municipal Affairs
Commission REVOKEs
WHOLESALERS PERMIT
Buckets of Beer with Revenue
Stamps Not Regarded as
Sealed Packages

One of the strangest methods of at
tempting to evade the liquor law that
has ever been brought to the atten-
tion of the police commission devel-
oped last night during the trial of
Theodore Kelm. The trial was not a
long one. The commission merely
looked at three pals of beer that three
solemn police officers set on the COM
mission table and then, with a laugh,
revoked Kelm's permit.
Kelm has held a wholesale permit at
703 Central avenue. The city liquor
ordinance requires that a wholesaler
must sell only in Original, sealed
packages" That means the packages
in which the wet goods are first put
up and delivered to the wholesaler.
Kelm concluded to make some
sealed" packages himself. When a
customer would bring a pail to his
place Kelm would fill it with beer and
top in such way that it was sealed"
all right, but not according to the
spirit of the ordinance.
1t was a sorry time for some of the
liquor men of the city when they ap-
peared before the commission last
night. Several of them had to make
up their minds either to surrender a
restaurant llCSIlSS vi IGlttll uCGuSSi
for the new liquor law prohibits one
man holding two kinds of permits.
Al Levy chose to surrender his re-
tail license. He sold his saloon to
Hayes & Sanderhoff and kept the res
taurant permit for himself taking a
permit of the No. l class that will en-
able him to sell short drinks with
meals.
J. T. Hinch, who conducts the Chi

The commission granted twenty
three restaurant permits of the No. 1
class and thirty-three of the No. 2
class. Eight applications of the No.
l class and seven retail applications.

COUNCIL ABAND0NS CLAIM
FOR $3.50 FROM BANNINGS

The question of whether the Banning
company owes the city $3.50 license fee
for business that the harbOr commits
sion concluded had been done over its
wharf at San Pedro last year occupied
the attention of the legislative COM
mittee yesterday afternoon.
The harbor commission reported that
it's findings showed 900 worth of
business done over the Banning wharf,
but Frank Carr, attorney for the Ban
nings, protested that it was not so and
that the amount of business referred
to was done by the Bannings for the
Southern Pacific and the amount in
cluded in the license fee of the rail-
road.
A. P. Fleming, secretary of the har-
Dor commission stood pat on the COM
missions report. The matter was
finally sent back to the harbor COM
mission for further investigation. An
other meeting was held and the COM
mission decided to cut out the claim.

COrenSOn Hair Company Secures
Big Bargain for Patrons
Many Take Advantage
of Low Prices

That Los Angeles dealers will go far
in their efforts to advance their busi-
ness was proved last week when the
Broadway, one of the most enterprise
ing hair dealers in Los Angeles, pur-
chased 500 pounds of the finest cut
hair obtainable from a well known
English firm of jobbers who were tenn
porarily embarrassed for money. That
the women of Los Angeles appreciate
this snap was shown yesterday by the
crowds that thronged their office.
Many were the exclamations of de-
light at the beauty and variety of the
goods displayed and more than one
woman reserved some particularly
whom they promised to send in later
in the day.
In taking advantage OF this oppor-
tunity Corenson's secured quality of
hair that is noted the world over for
it's f1neness of texture, it's silky finish
and general reliability, for less than
half its regular price. Think of get
ting a set, composed of twelve ringlet
curls, for $1.99-and they sell for 81
and IS at other times. And a regular
SIS switch that will reach all around
the head sells for $5.95 at Corenson's
during this great sale.
Another reason that Corensons can
give these low rates lies in the fact
that they maintain the Corenson Hair
Dressing College iL connection with
their parlors and all goods can be
made at small cost to themselves
under the direction of a competent
European expert. This cut rate sale
will last for all this week. After all.
Corenson's best and most fervid boost
ers are their patrons.

POOL HALL OWNER ENDS
LIFE WITH STRYCHNlNE
Chronic AiIment Is Supposed to

prietor of a pool room at 113 South
Main street, committed suicide in his
home at 1888 East Twenty-ninth street

a widow and four children. Bresee

certificate of suicide today without
