COUNTY after
100000 BACK
COURT COSTS
Vigorous Effort to Collect
From DeIinquentS to
Be Launched.

Provision for enforcing collection
of approximately $4,000 in delin-
quent court costs, some dating back
twenty-five years, and due the
county, is to be sought from the
county council, Glenn B. Ralston,
county clerk, announced today.
Application for an additional Of
flee clerk to accomplish the collec-
tions was filed with County Auditor
Harry Dunn by Ralston for presen-
tation at the next county council
meeting, May 20.
Owing to increased pressure of
court duties each year, unpaid costs
are mounting in volume, as person
mel of the clerks office has not been
increased proportionately," the ap-
/ plication to Dunn stated.
May Reach 100000
This application fixed amount OF
outstanding costs at approximate
ly $4,000, but a preliminary sur
vey of court records by Charles R.
Ettinger, chief deputy county clerk,
has revealed delinquent costs may
total 100000.
6 Collection of the costs would be
impossible without an extra clerk, it
is said.
The clerks Office has been
with 301 more cases filed during the
swanlped with cases this spring,
first three months of 1881 than for
the same period in 1880, or an in
crease of IL per cent.
Expense Justified
SALARY of the extra clerk, which
probably would be 500, plus an
additional appropriation of $500 for
postage, printing and supplies,
would be justified amply, if the
county were able to collect only a
small part of the costs" Ralston
contends.
One councilman, Walter c.
Boetcher, agreed in this opinion
II am favoring collection Of back
revenues if the amount collected
will exceed the expense of collec-
ton.
1T appears this plan to collect
back costs is good business iudg-
ment, and I think the matter
should be attended to-" Boetcher
declared.

LOS ANGELES, May 9.-The
blasted romance" of Rolf Nc
Pherson, son of Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson, evangelist, and Lorna D.
Smith of Oklahoma, turned out to-
day to be 'just another ruInor."
The report gained circulation
Friday when Miss Smith returned
to her nid-western home to attend
graduation exercises of her brothers
high school class.
1T is quite true that Miss Smith
returned to Oklahoma, Harriet
Jordan, secretary Of Angelus temple,
said, "but reports that Rolf has
been Tilted are erroneous.
Miss Smith planned her trip
even before Mrs. Mcpherson left
Los Angeles for the Orient. After
her brothers graduation, she plans
to do evangelisttic work and then
return here"

POOL-ROOMS TO
Be TARGET OF
GAMING SMASH
Licenses viii Be Revoked
for Law Violations,
Police Say.

Drive to halt gambling and other
law violations in licensed poolrooms
by revoking licenses Of operators
was begun today by the police de-
partment and William L. Elder, city
controller.
In letter to Chief Jerry Kinney,
Elder set out that it was necessary
for his Office to watch poolroom law
violations, and asked that the de-
partment turn over to him immedi-
ately locations where arrests are
made and violations revealed.
The action was an aftermath of
the recent ruling of Municipal
Judge Clifton r. Cameron, when he
acquitted eight men, including a
poolroon operator on gaming
charges because they were playing
domino poker "just for fun"
License to Be Revoked
Despite the acquittal, Captain Otto
Ray, license inspector, said the
license of Hubert Stokes, operator of
the place at 28O6 East Washington
street, will be revoked.
In ruling in the Stokes case, which
Cameron had continued three times,
the judge stated that the sworn
statements of the men raised a
doubt in his mind as to strength
Of the police charges.
In this case, Ray testified, he and
a police officer had watched the
game for half an hour and saw
money change hands.
Elder Asks Information
Elders letter to Kinney:
'tIn keeping track Of our licenses
Of poolrooms, it is very necessary
that we know in our Office Of any
violations or arrests that take place
in poolrooms licensed by this Office.
"Will you kindly, therefore, have
the city controllers Office notified
of any arrests that are made in
poolroons from time to time, as
this will enable us to check up and
keep up to date on the situation"
