12 THE SENATE BILL DOES IT Southern Pacific Diplomacy Is Appara.it REOPENING THE DIVES The Uniquely Wordeil Biil Introduced at Sacramento Ail the Deadfalls Closed Since the New ".Constitution Can Again Open Their Doors The reopening ol the dives is going to be made possible by the adoption of Ken ate Bill 310, which is not at all unlike,!; during the present session of the Legis laicire, unless ihe publicity which the newspapers are giving the matter wil make the Senators refrain from placing themselves upon record as having vote* for the measure. The hill referred to was drawn by the best attorneys in the state, und it is claimed that the Southern Pacific Com pany Uwyers had a hand in its prepara tion. When the idea of framing the III] was lirst conceived the dive-keepers de cided to offer a decoy measure which would divert public attention from bill 2-l'i. which they dcalfed to have become a law at all hazards. About, a year ago the saloonl.ocjK-rs made a bowl tor a uniform license, and they formed associations, appointed committees and did everything in their power to hoodwink tiie 'public and make it believe that they de sired uniform license, which" was not their real aim at all. As a result, numerous protests were sent to Sacra mento. They withdrew the uniform li cense bill, but iv order to make the peo ple believe that tbey were sincere when they offered the bill, they had it again introduced., and once again attention was directed toward the hill, and it met with concentrated opposition. All this time Senator Bert, the saloon keepers' friend, chuckled to himself and had bill SKI lidvanced. It provided for certain inoffensive amendments to the county government act. It is a volumi nous document, and is intended to amend Section StS of the act to establish a uni- ! form lyst.m of county and township gov ernments. The hill provides for the duties of county officials. It regulates the subdivision of counties, elections, mails, bridges, and 1 all the rest of it. Nearly every depart ment of county official life Is considered, and it is not until near the end that the joker is inserted. That provides that "the Boards of Supervisors in their respective counties have jurisdiction and power, under such limitations 3nl ' restiuctions as are pre scribed, by law, to license, for the purpose of regulation and revenue, all and every kind of business not prohibited by law and transacted and carried on in'such county: and all shows, exhibitions any lawful games carried on therein, ami to fix the rates of license tax upon such busi ness, shows, exhibitions or games, and pro vide for the collection of the same by suit or otherwise, provided that such li cense tax shall be based upon a fair and dilutable distribution of the public bur dens upon. aH classes of business, hav ing due regard for die volume of business transacted, without unequal or arbitrary discrimination against any kind or class." This provision destroys all power to close dives and disreputable saloons in every county in the state by demanding and exacting a prohibitory license. Not satisfied with this vitally important privilege, the dlvekeepera wish to reopen every disreputable resort which had an existence since the adoption of the new Constitution. The provision of Senate bill 24<i, which gives them this power, is as follows: "To make and enforce within the limits of their county all such local, po lice, sanitary and other regulations, as arc not in conflict with general laws: provided that the provisions of this section shall not be so construed as to empower said boords of sn.erviso.rs to prohibit the con ducting of itjny business for which a license has hitherto been authorized under the laws of this state since the adoption of the new Constitution of 1879." This is the bill which the divekeepers wish to sec adopted. It is the bill which Bert has introduced in their interests. It is the only measure in which they are at all interested. Uniform license is simply a blind. The fact was discovered today and the affair is now one of common gossip. Some of the prominent local saloon men were..i seen last evening by a Herald re porter and' none of them had heard of Senate bill 241>. Bob Kearn, proprietor of the Richelieu, said that he hud never heard of the ob jectionable measure. "Last summer," said he, "when Attorney Baker of the State Protective Association was in town, he told me that the bill providing for uniform licenses would be introduced anrl of course I am familiar with the pro visions of that bill, and favor its passage, for it provides for the knocking out of locnl option. "Regarding the reopening of the dives t have this to say: No first-class saloon man favors the existence of dives. They are detrimental to our interests and do no good, but upon the contrary, ftirnii.li criminals and drunkards for the Police Station. "This bill referred to I have never heard of, and 1 doubt very much,that it provides for or makes at all possible the reopening of the deadfalls, fori reiterate that 1 voice the sentiment of the State Association of Saloon Keepers when 1 say that I am now, and always have been, op posed to granting a license to any one who is not above reproach." C. F. A. Last, the well known wine merchant, who is one of the most intelli gent and thoroughly posted liquor dealers in the state, stated that he is not a nicm her of the State Association at present, but is likely to rejoin it later on. "I have not heard of bill 2K1," said he, "except what I have read in the newspapers, and I doubt very much if the objectionable measure quoted provides for the openi,.. of the dives which have been dosed at various times since the adoption of the new constitution in 1879. The rcp 7 r'esentative wholesalers and first class saloon men arc all unalterably opposed to the dives and would give a good round sum to see them wiped off the face of the earth. They only disgrace the reputable dealer, and furnish criminal and dis graceful news for the press. It is the pro hibitionists Who want the dives main tained, for as one of them aaid to me in the rooms of the Board of Supervisors sometime ago 'if the dives were closed we would no longer be able to tight the Honor tratllc' " =i Charles Schroeder, proprietor of the Hollenbeck and Reception saloons, said thai he had paid hut little attention to the Protective Association's measures at Sacramento. He knew that a hill provid ing fate uniform license was introduced, hut he professed igni.irance regarding bill 21H. "You may say. however." he said, "that the association does not want dives maintained or reopened, and I am linn in the belief that bill 2411 contains no such provisions as claimed. If the dives were cleaned out the first-class saloon man would not be looked down upon as he is now, for he would lie a uinti among men mill in a business as respectable as any other."

THE CYCLING WORLD A Cycle Deal of Magnitude—Los Angeles a Cycling Center "The opportunities for wheeling in this city surpass those of any other locality in America," remarked the genial and wide-awake .1. W, Thomas, genera) repre sentative of the great Crimson Kirn Bi cycles, while in our city during the past week. "1 understand, front some of the members of the l.os Angeles Wheelmen, that this organization already have plans perfected whereby they will soon establish your city, at one"houu*d, asoneoi the very greatest cycling towns of the country, by i-otistritoting a three-lap cement track" and accessories, the only thing detaining them being certain minor details which are yet tn Ik- retried. When this scheme is carried into execution, your town will be the 'cycling tnecca,' and all the expensive tennis will here, spend the winter and take i 'go' for the records and keeping in con dition." .Mr. Thomas believes that with our roads and pleasant weather there should sasily be lu,ooo wheel, used in Los An {elcs wliere a rider can use one every day • fiii. year. Wheeling in the East has become the thing with society people and many millionaires tire now devotees of the :yole. "Void of flattery," Mr. Thomas remarked, "the great number of hand tome ladies seen in California, if inter ■stcd in cycling, would lie udding the most pleasing factor to wheeling and if possible increase the rosy hue already secti on many happy faces"" " flic famous Mine Mini herger will man ige the Syracuse racing team the coming season, and it is commonly predicted (hat he will himself be the fastest man in the world, riding the Crimson Syracuse racer. There w ill be three i tier riders of note oii the team trained by Prank Ly man, who isa recognized trainer of great ibility in developing speetl men. De 3ardy holds the world's roatl records from ive to twenty-live miles. Inclusive, on he Syracuse, while ft. I". Searle holds -oad records up to HXItl miles, made be .ween Chicago and New York, on the sturdy Crimson rims. The Syracuse people have heretofore 'ailed to place their wheel in this section, ts they havo been unable to so connect themselves in such n way as they care to lave their wheel represented; tliey do not ■are to place theirlme in other hands than hat of the wide-awake and thoroughly up o date dealer They are recognized as he most liberal and unique advertisers in he business all over the country, nnd live igents find it a seller and the riders rind t a "winner" as well as a "spinner.' Sir. Thomas'; before leaving, consummated he largest cycle deal ever consummated n California, wherein Mr. Will Knippen icrg becomes the general agent for Southern California of tbe fatuous Syra cuse; and the latter gentleman announces iiat he hopes to soon be able to announce he locat on of the agency's headejuarters n "Cycle Row." That it will he one of Tie handsomest cycle stores in the state he past reputation of the genial and lustltng "Knip'' is sufficient guarantee. Knippenberg is already after one or two rood men for the Pacific Coast Racing Team of The Syracuse, aud soon expects ioland them and later land his share of records and prizes during the coming season. Looking Over the around Mayor Katler, Street Superintendent Howard and City Engineer Compton com posed a trio of city officials which went out yesterday to view the property on the Corner of Bellevue avenue and Hill street, which Mrs. Mary Banning owns and which it is asserted will be damaged to the extent of $20,000 by the opening of Hill street through to Bellevue avenue. Owing to the indisposition of the owner she could not be heard in the matter yes terday, but a date was set when she' is requested to present her case. The Herald's Sporting News Hereafter the sporting page of The Her ald will be given on Monday morning in stead of Sunday.
