REFUSE RESTAURANT
PERMITS TO THREE
Police Commission Declines to Grant
Licenses for Places Closed Under
Previous Rulings Because
of lnfractions

Applicants for liquor permits did not
fare very we'll with the police com
mission last night. Four men wanted
the privilege of selling liquor in some
form, but all of thcm were refused.
Ray Oston was denied the privilege
of selling liquor in his restaurant at
462 South Main street. This location
is the New York Kitchen, and the
liquor permit formerly held at the To-
cation was revoked by the police COM
mission last fall. Charles A. Warner,
who wanted to sell liquor at the res
taurant at 219 West Fourth street,
found himself in the same position.
This is the Good Living Grotto, and
the permit held by the place was re-
Voked at the same time as that of the
New York Kitchen. Suie Wah was
refused the privilege of selling liquor
in a restaurant at 227 East First street
Charles e. Barnard asked for retail
permit at 522 North Alameda, but the
commission refused to grant it, al
though Barnard produced some eX-
cellent letters of recommendation.

Club News

HY HE Ebell club enjoyed a treat
yesterday afternoon in the read
Il ing by Katherine oliver of the
play, "What Every Woman Knows" !"
1t was done in most appreciative
manner, bringing out the delightful
Scotch humor and the rare touches of
human nature. The play is a study
of a self-made man, whose career is
made by an accident of fate, and near
ly unmade by an incident Of fate.
The tact wit and wisdom of the wife,
to whom, unknowingly, he owes his
success. save him at last for himself
and his career.
After the reading a reception was
given for Mrs. L. b. Torrey in honor
of her eightieth birthday anniversary.
Mrs. Hole received with Mrs. Torrey,
and many members pait their compli-
ments to this still charming and grace
full woman, who wears her eighty years
in the pleasant manner that the women
do in this favored climate.

in groups of four and five and dispose
of tickets and there is already a big
sale for the event.
Both companies will be taken in cos

The colors of the Ferris Hartman COM
pany are blue and white, while the
Mcintyre and Heath players and
chorus will fly orange and black. If
the interest taken in the affair by the
chorus girls is any criterion there will
be plenty of life and color and lots
of good sport at the field tomorrow af-
ternoon and it is expected that a good
ly sum will be added to the fund.
1t is noticeable that in charity per-
formances of all natures the actor is
the first to come to the front and the
first to be called upon to offer his
services for the benefit of other or
ganizations. The Actors Fund, tc
which Daniel Frohman and Abraham

ton of their time, is practically the
only organization to which the actor
may look for assistance.

WATCHMEN OF CITY PARKS
WILL LIKELY LOSE PLACES
Move to Cut Salary Roll by Having
Police Department Supervise
Breathing Spots

In checking over its payroll yester-
day the park commission was aston
ished to find that it was paying more
than $7OO a month to Watchmen in the
parks. These Watchmen do nothing
else but exercise police authority and
the commissioners believe much of this
money is going to waste.
Il would like to have it to build that
road in Griffith park" said Commits
sioner Lippincott.
The commission believes the policing
of all the parks, with the possible eX-
ception of the mounted men in Griffith
and Elysian parks, should be done by
the police department, and as a starter
the position of watchman in Central
park will be declared vacant as soon
as the police department can arrange
for protection at that place. Commis-
sioner Randall was appointed a COM
mittee to look into the matter Of
watchmen, and it is expected that
other positions of this kind will be
declared vacant in a short time.
