TEN Los ANGELES
BLOCKS MADE DRY
Property Owners Invoke New Or
dinance and Bar Saloons
from Many Districts

BY taking advantage of the provision
of the new liquor ordinance that gives
property owners the right to say
whether or not saloons shall be located
in their midst, ten blocks in the busi-
ness district of Los Angeles were
made dry" by protests filed with the
police commission last night.
These blocks are Spring, Eighth to
Ninth; Fifth, Los Angeles to Wall;
Spring, Franklin to Temple, on the
west side; Spring, Court to First, on
the east side; Main, Fourth to Fifth;
First, Vignes to Center; Third, Ala
media to Stephenson; Second, Main to
Los Angeles; Fourth, Broadway to
Hill; Alameda, Second to Third;
Towne, Central to Fourth.
The majority of property owners in
these blocks petitioned the commission
to grant no liquor licenses, and their
petition will stand for two years.
Within that time no liquor license can
be granted in the blocks where they
are protested out. If any exist in
these blocks they will be permitted to
stay, but if another petition is filed
against them when they apply for per-
mits next year they will have to 60.
1t is this feature of the new ordi-
nance that takes the place of the pro-
vision of the former ordinance that
applicants for liquor privileges should
have the consent of the owners of two
thirds OF the frontage on both sides
of the street in the block where it is
proposed to establish the liquor store.
Because of the filing of these pro
tests the police commission last night
had to refuse to grant the following
retail licenses: w. o. Cox, 234 East
Fifth; G. A. Rutz, 459 South Main;
o. r. Strobel, 315 West Fourth and
Alfred Amillo, 800 East Fifth.

BROADWAY SHOP WINDOW
CasteIIane Seymour Helping Gus
toners Select Clothes at
Sherwood Store

One of the most complete advance
showings Of winter shades and styles
in mems clothing is being shown at
F. B. Silverwoods. The Broadway
window of Silverwoods contains dis
play of Hart, Schaffner & Marks line
of hand-tailored suits and overcoats for
fall and winter wear. In order to show
the particular dressers Of Los Angeles

sique as any man can be.
Seymour appears in the Broadway
window each morning and afternoon
and, while showing the latest styles,
poses as a mechanical wax doll His
every movement betokens mechanism
and he is now the talk of Broadway.
He has made careful study of men
and their clothing needs and when not
displaying the goods in the show win

toners in the selection of styles and
shades that their complexion and
shape demand before they can be con-
sidered properly attired. Watch this

VICE PRESIDENT ARRIVES
EARLY AT MARSHVILLE, MO.
Delivers Address and Then De-
parts for Springfield

MARSHvILLE. Mo-, Aug. 29.-Vice
President Sherman arrived in Marsh
Vile so early today that few were at
the depot to extend to him welcome
His private car was placed on siding
and the vice president continued to
slumber undisturbed.
The vice president delivered an ad-
dress in the court house yard here this
afternoon, after which he left for Jop-
lin, Mo-, where he will speak tomorrow.
The recent connecting of his name
with the alleged attempted bribery of
Senator Gore has evidently not de-
tered the vice president from going
into the heart of the Indian country as
will be seen from his itinerary as an
nounced by the Republican congress
sional committee.
He will speak at least four times in
Oklahoma, and it is thought likely that
he will have something to say about
graft charges. He will also speak in
the same general territory as Colonel
Roosevelt, who is responsible for the
most of the latest news in connection
with Mr.. Sherman's selection as tenn
porary chairman of the New York
state Republican convention.

CONDITIONS HERE PLEASE
w. C. T. U. CHILD EXPERT
Juvenile Court Superintendent
Tells of Great Work

Mrs. Minnie w. Rutherford, super
intendent of juvenile courts, industrial
education and anti-child labor for the
Women's Christian Temperance union,
is visiting in Los Angeles and conduct
ing her work here. She has just come
from Oakland and San Francisco. She
spoke before the woman's auxiliary of
the juvenile court in the rormer city
and before the Child's Welfare league
in Oakland. She was an interested
visitor in Judge Wilbur's court room
yesterday morning and says that the
spirit of helpfulness and interest In
the educational work here, especially
among the officers of the probation
court, is particularly encouraging.
While in the city Mrs. Rutherford
will visit the George Junior Republic,
the detention home and school and
many other institutions where the
youth of the city is housed, educated
or protected. She says that she finds
a very general interest in the details
of work. and for children on the Pacific
coats which is not so evident in the
eastern cities.
TT Is as though the men and women
of the west realized that there is as
much good in having things done just
in the right way as there is in doing
them at all. Especially do 1 find this
among the women. They give their
personal attention to many details
here which among the members of
eastern organizations are left to the
paid employees of the societies."

COMMISSIONER CABELL
WILL INSPECT WINERIES
Internal Revenue Chief Arrives to
Hear Protests Against
Tax Increase

Royal c. Cabell, commissioners of in
ternal revenue at Washington, d. c.,
arrived in Los Angeles last evening to
investigate the claims Of the wine man
ufacturers of Southern California that
the existing internal revenue laws do
them an injustice. He is making the
Alexandria hotel his headquarters.
The wine men object to the law
which allows them to add only 10 per
cent alcohol to wine to bring it total
of "a per cent. They want to be al
lowed to add as much as II per cent,
but are willing, in case their desires
are complied with, to have the total
amount of alcohol limited to 21 per
cent. Mr.. Cabell will investigate thor
oughly the merits of these claims and
render decisions on them. Should he
report In favor of the 21 per cent
limit and the II per cent addition it
will increase greatly the revenue de-
rived from California wines by the
government.
Accompanied by Claude Parker, col
lector of internal revenue for this dis
trict Commissioner Cabell will visit
all the large wineries in Southern Cali
fornia Following his Investigations
here he will go to San Francisco,

assistant in the conduct of Bethlehem
mission, $40 North Vignes street, is
anxious to make it clear to the public
that the quarrel in the mission Sunday

occur anywhere and that neither man
was employed in any capacity by the
institution. Yesterday Mr.. Pearce
said:
"The men had quarreled, and Mr..
White, manager of the mems hotel,
had restored quiet. A little later the
strife was renewed and one of the men
shot the other. The shot was fired

FALL COLON|STS
FLOCK|NG TO CITY
Trains Arriving Monday Brought
Nearly 1000 Homeseekers
to Los Angeles
GREAT CROWDS ARE COMING
Low Rates on Railroads Attract
Settlers from States in
Middle West
GREAT CROWDS ARE COMING

Fall colonists numbering nearly 1000
reached Los Angeles yesterday over the
three lines serving this city from the
| east, and the colonist rush is on for
| another season. Low rates west, which
have been advertised throughout the
east for several months, went into eff
feet August rs, and the settlers and
| homeseekers from Kansas, Missouri,
| Illinois and Iowa and other middle
west states who had been waiting all
summer for them, are rushing to
| Southern California in large numbers.
Although the traffic was heavy yes
| terday, the railroad officials say that it
| will increase from day to day and be-
| fore the low rates go out of effect,
September 8, probably 1900 colonfsts
will be arriving every day.
The roads are making extra provis-
| ions for handling this traffic, cars and
| equipment being rushed east at every
opportunity. No special trains have
| been put on, but the traffic depart
ments expect to do so within few
| days.
The Santa Fe road had three trains
in yesterday carrying extra cars loaded
with settlers So heavy was the trafTc
that train No. 1, the Overland, had to
be run in two sections, and it is est1-
mated that this train alone carried 800
genuine settlers.
MORE COLONIsTS COMING
One extra car carrying colonists came
in yesterday morning on the Salt Lake
Overland and another last evening.
These were people from the middle
west, mostly from this side OF the
Missouri river, those coming from fur
ther east not having had time to ar
rive vet. The Salt Lake local offices
have received word of the expected
arrival of two more cars this morning
and q like number Wednesday morn
ing. They also are bringing in two
extra cars turned over to them by the
Denver & Rio Grande at Salt Lake
City yesterday
The Southern Pacific is also having
good colonist travel, but with this
road most of its colonist traffic is dl-
verted to its ultimate destination De-
fore reaching Los Angeles.
The coloniSts coming in do not, as a
general rule, linger long in the city,
but scatter out to the smaller towns
and rural districts. Many OF them
have either friends or relatives alreaoy
living here, and they settle with these,
taking up their yocations again with
ont losing but a few days time. In
MANY instances the fathers and heads
of families come out first, get settled,
invest what money they have and then
send for the remainder of their fam
lilies. For this reason not few or
the low rate tickets west are sent back
from here.
The present low rates will be in ef-
feet until September 9. They Will then
be withdrawn until October !, when
they will again go on sale for two
weeks The fare charged while the
rates are in effect is $25 from Missouri
river points and $33 from Chicago.
Points further east are sold with like
reduction.
