To ths man or woman desirous of

sketch ; lo the idler who likes to watch
the workings of juatice. or to the con
firmed court loafer tbere is always inter
est in a Byßtematio attendance at the
police courte.
The police conrts of Los Angeles are
classed above those of any city of tbe
size in tbe United States, in that they
have not the number of criminals—the
worst criminals—that other cities bave.
Nevorthlesa at times one may Bee here
specimens of the most depraved sort
that ever followed the bueineae of "birds
of prey." They come and go. Like the
migratory birds, some of their are
caught and never return to their na
tive habitat, nnlees it oe in the stone
walled prlaons and penitentiaries.
All clatsen are there.
A visit to tho police courts —where
the criminal, the vagrant, the drunkard
and the "dope" fiend are atudied, where
fie first is placed after getting into the
intricate meshes cf tbe law—here iB
where queer contraata are aeen. As in
a mirror are reflected the lights and
Bhadows of cosmopolitan life, tbe sor
rows, heartaches, the trials and tempta
tions of men.
In tbe police court the other day, a
elender woman, with a babe in her
anne, a child clinging frantically to her
clothing, atood pleadingly before tbe bar
of justice. In a moment of passionate
fury Bhe struck another woman because
tbe latter's children hsd been taught to
quarrel witb her child. She wae ar
rested and pleaded guilty. Hiibl and
leaa, moneyless, yet she aeked no favor.
Her condition spoke for ber, yet the
enda of juatice could not have been sat
isfied, were ahe ever so poor, without
tbe imposition of a fine. Wben the
judgment of the court fe!! upon her
cars, ahe bowed ber bead and eilently
eeated herself. The babe in her arms
billed and cooed, looked laughingly and
sympathetically around the court room,
meeting the gaze of strangers. Sud
denly, and without speaking, a woman
wboee heart wbb touched by tbe scene
arose, walked to the clerk'e deck and
paid 'he fine. Tbe court loaferß looked
on with approval, watching the woman
and her infant children with morbid
curiosity until they dieappeared down
the stairway.
A familiar face.
The crowds who gather to see tbe
misfprtnnes of others are a motley ag
gregation. You ace the same loungers
at the court every day. A look of rec
ognition from a policeman is as much
balm to tbe court idler's soul as the
bandahake of a voter to the candidate

too, are a prominent feature about tbe

''expended in a better cause, would

Certainly Loe Angeles has made no
eft irt to make the sojourn in jail of the
transgressor of tbe law a desirable con
dition of life. Tbe dirty, grimy, 111
--emelling, di> eaee-breeding cells of tbe
ao called ci.y prison are a disgrace to a
civilized community. In using the jail
the keepere are punished by foul air,
bad eewerage and no lieht. On m '«
Young hut lough
than one occasion the jailers have tiad
to leave the prison on account of the
foul conditions existing there, and in
one or two instances long spells of ill
ness followed. Priaouera charged with
serious offenses and confined in the city
jail invariably beg for speedy examina
tion with a view to be
•ng transferred to tbe county
j.iil, whioh they call "tbe Paradise."
The jail ie reeking with vilest putres
cence. Wben Councilman Munaon bad
an order passed advertising the site for
sale, with a view to satabli-.hing a new
prison, bs waa commended on all aides ;
but the action did not go far enough—it
waa not definite. It may be some time
before any one will pay $700 a front foot
for the ground upon which the ram
shackle building stands.
The police court judges, who are com
pelled to sit daily upon the very top of
tbe disease breeding jail, are worth
more than passing notice in this connec
tion. It ia said that Judge Anatin wante
to be mayor to get rid of tbe foul quar
ters now occupied as polioe court room.
He would much prefer tbe nice, cool room
in tbe northwest corner of the eecond
floor of the new city hall. Tbe
judge, upon the bench, ia genial without
too much soft-heartedness, and com
bines a conservative spirit with an
ability to dispatch business carefully and
correctly. It hae been aaid that he could
get rid of more drunks and vags in a
shorter time than any other polioe court
judge ever elected in tbiscity. He might
be called tbe patriarch of Los Angeles
police justioee.
Judge Seaman has sympathy with un
fortunate criminals brought before him,
and tempers "juatice with mercy." He
taaee interest iv his charges, and, un
like Judge Austin, delights in heartng
the prisoners narrate the full circum
stances, whether having any relevant
connection witb the case or not. He is
considered easier on the unfortunates or
petty offenders tban Judge Austin, bnt
woe betide those whose crime haa been
more serious.
Police conrts are very different nowa
days from what they were a few
years ago. One o! the clerks told a
story the other day .on a police judge
who held forth in tbe old adobe court
room on North Spring atreet, eight or
nine years ago. When a prisoner would
be taken into conrt tbe following con
versation would invariably ensue:
"What's your occupation," the judge
would ask.
"A-a please, yer 'oner, an' I'll never
git drunk any more, sir."
The judge would go to ths telephone
and call up the jail keeper.
"Say, Mike, how are yon off for tail
ors down there?"
"Need somebody," Mike wonld Bay.
The judge wonld come back, and in a
stern voice cay to the drunk:
"Bix months!"
An old servant was arrested on a
charge of stealing—clear evidence. The
judge called down to the jail:
"Mike, do you need any eervante?"
"Divil a bit," Mike responded.
"Yon're discharged," the judge said.
Justice wae juatice in those daya.
An Afternoon Banquet.
Friday afternoon a merry party, con
sisting of the junior A Latin class,
Los Angeles high school,gathered in the
little restaurant adjoining tbe grounds,
after ecbool, where the young ladies of
the class tendered a most delightful
spread to the young gentlemen. Two
long tables were exquisitely decorated
with a profusion of red rosea while the
walls and ceiling were gay with tings and
Chinese lanterns. After tbe daintily
served refreehmente bad been diepoeed
of eoveral ehort speeches were made and
the party broke up, all agreeing that
thie was the jollieet affair in tho hietory

LOS ANGELES HERALD, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 20. 1894.
VOTED BUT TOOK NO ACTION.
Another Meeting of the Postal
Primary Committee.
Some Lively Discussions Before Tak-
lug the Vote.
Oot of a Total or Tweuty-on* Oast Fif
teen Wore for tha Original Flan
and Six for th* Sub
stitute.
The oommittee of 100 citizens met at
the chamber of commerce room yester
day afternoon to take action on the pos
tal primary plan recommended by tbe
majority of tbe aub-cimmittee. It was
aritdjourued session from laat Tneaday,
wben definite action was deferred until
yeaterday, owing to the lack of a
quorum. The meeting, however, rec
ommended the plan. Almost the same
thing occurred yesterday, as there was
no quorum preaent and again was the
adoption of the plan by the main
committee postponed.
Mr. G. J. Griffith called the meeting
to order aud in tbe absence of the
president, O. T. Johnson, ex-Gov.
Samuel Merrill was called to the chair
and Mr. Griffith acted aB secretary.
The first work was the presentation of
a number of amendments to the lormer
plan by tbe sub-committee.
Col. 11. G. Otis preaented each one by
adding a brief bit of explanation in
every caae. They were aa follows and
were adopted:
To amend section 1, so tbat a county
convention shall consist of not to exceed
300 delegates, 25 of whom shall be
elected at large; 10 from the city of
Lob Angelea and 15 from the county
outside of the city. Also tbat a city
convention consist of not to exceed 150
delegates, 27 of whom shall be at large,
tbree from each ward.
To amand section 2, so as to provide
that if the county clerk or the oity clerk
shall decline to perform tbe services,
then any authorized public official may
do ao, and in oaee of all refusing, then a
committee shall have charge.
To amend eection 3, bo ac to provide
that the clerk or otber official in charge
shall print the ballots, instead of the
central committee.
Also to amend section 3, bo as to pro
vide that all nameo and petitions shall
be presented to the clerk or other official
in charge, instead of to the central
committee.
Also to amend section 2 to provide for
tbe central committee to bave inspec
tion of tbe working of the plan.
To amend section 13 so that the con
vention shall nominate from tbe body of
the party in caae no candidate has been
voted for by the people for an office.
Also to amend eection 13 to provide
that tbe convention, in case the "prefer
ence vote*" do not give a majority for
any one candidate for an office, shall
have due regard to the distribution of
the nominations between tbe city of Lob
Angeles and the remainder of the
county.
Colonel Otis then moved that if there
were no further remarks the report, as
a whole with the amendments, be
adopted. J. L. Murphy seconded this.
Mr. Frank Qibson moved, aa an
amendment, that the roll be called and
the inemberß be allowed to expreas
their opinions of the plan aa offered, or
of the substitute. This was alao sec
onded.
Colonel Otis then raised the point
that Mr. Gibeon's motion should be
made ac a substitute and not as an
amendment to the one offered by him
self.
Mr. Hazard, tbe author of tha postal
primary plan, was present. He said
that the plan suggested by Mr. Gibson
contained many features that would be
likely to cause misunderstanding and
difficulty. It bad been before tbe com
mittee and been discussed at length, but
tbey had approved the other. He had
never gone to a caucus or primary where
there was an office to be filled that there
had not been a "job." He declared
tbat the men who made the country
were the ones who stayed at home and
did not attend the primaries and oau
ouees. It was the people who hung
around saloons that were active and
alert and were out at these times. If a
plan did not succeed in bringing out all
ot the people to the primaries it was not
good, and he did not believe tbe one
offered by Mr. Gibson and the others
would do this. He thought that the
postal plan was the best one. It would
penetrate into tbe very firesides of the
people and would succeed in bringing
them out. Why not give it a trial? It
would certainly cost nothing, and any
thing wonld be better then the present
system, as the whole superstructure of
the method of government was rotten.
Mr. Mnrphy declared that while tbe
substitute plan offered by Mr Gfoion
and others was the best tbat had been
submitted, it did not go far enough,
and be said it would be a mistake to
adopt it now. Proceeding, he declared
that the majority of the Republican
central committee waa composed
of those who were either in poli
tics or were controlled by thoae
who were. In reply to a question by
Mr. Slauaou as to what they would do
if tbe varions political committeea re
fnaed to adopt, the speaker said they
would appeal to tbe people. Let the
people elect delegates to the convention
if necessary, aad if not tben let the com
mittee of 100 go before tbe political com
mittees and urge the adoption of the
plan
Colonel Otis added further that the
plan waa creating eentiment, and if ths
people were in favor ot it toe conven
tions could be connted npon to be so, too.
Mr. Griffith eaid that it had been
claimed the new plana worked io favor
of the bosaea, and yet they were all dead
again-t it.
Mr Gibeon aeked what percentage of
tbe committee bad responded by postal
cards giving their opinion of the new
plan He was told that out of 90 sent
out 33 had been answered, and 80 per
cent of these were in favor of the plan.
Continuing, Mr. Griffith said that tbe
probable reaeon there had not been
many more responses was becauee it
had been diecueeed pro and con in tiie
newapapers and the people rather heei
tated to express any opinion on ft for
fear of being ridiculed by tbe other aide.
Then tbe very reaeon these particular
ones bad not answered, Mr. Gibeon aug
geated. was because they did not care to
take the trouble.
Oolonel Otia said tbat the plan was
atilt in embryo, hut let it once be
adopted by the political parties the peo
ple would be in favor of it at once and
vote for it.
Mr. Gibson said tbat the object cf
his snbstitute plan was to bring tbe
issues before tbo people.
fo thia Mr. Hazard declared that, as
by the postal eyatem they had 10 days
to work in, there waa no danger of the
people not voting or being poeted.
Mr. Newberry objected to the Hazard
plan and declared it was abaolutely
naceaeaiy to have a convention. It wae
proper to know about the candidates
and bow they stood.
F. W. Wood spoke at some length in
oppoeition to the postal primary plan.
Both Mr. Murphy and Colonel Otia re
plied briefly to Mr. Wood'a objections.
The question was nailed for and it wae
decided to obtain the opinion of
t-os« present, ac originally pro
posed by Mr. Oibson. Out uf the 21
present 15 voted for the poatal primary
plan and 6 for the substitute. Both Mr.
Griffith and Mr. Newberry had a num
ber of replies to postals tbey had aent
out requesting opinione on the two
plans, and it was fnrtbsr desired to in
corporate these expressions with thoae
of the members preaent. It waa eeen
that even theae did not conetitute a
quorum, so after some fun her diacus
eion it was voted to have the secretary
and chairman communicate again by
poetal with tbe members of the com
mittee and obtain their views to be ex
preaeed either by tbia means or per
sonally at tbe next meeting of the com
mittee. The meeting tben adjourned
subject to tbe call of the chair.
