THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS
ARE NOW READY TO OO ON WITH
THE WORK
Their Attorney Is Employed and the
Flan of Action Outlined—Gen
eral Routine Business
The police commissioners were
promptly on hand yesterday morning at
10 oclock, as was the chief of police, re
splendent in gold braid and brass but
tons, In honor of the monthly inspec
tion of the force. But the board did
not meet until a full hour late, the time
being spent In a sort of executive con
ference ln his honor's private office, the
principal matter under discussion being
the lottery question, and the suppression
of the nickel-ln-the-slot gambling ma
chines —those that pay in cash Instead
of merchandise.
■When the members of the board did
condescend to come out of retirement
no time was lost, and they literally
raced through business.
Commissioner Gibbon reported that
the committee appointed to wait on the
council had been successful In the ir mis
sion, and that the board had been au
thorized to epiploy an attorney and a
stenographer. The gentleman expressed
himself as highly pleased with the treat
ment they had received at the hands of
the council, and some very pleasant
things were said about the members of
that body.
The city tax and license collector re
ported that the following saloon licenses
for the current month had not been
paid: Alfred Desmaret, No. 719 North
Alameda street; F. Enal, No. 504 North
Alameda street; George Horstkatte, No.
300 North Alameda street; May &
Learning, No. 615 South Broadway (Vin
cent hotel); and Edward McGlnnls, No.
106 Courthouse street.
Under the rule of the board all li
censes stand revoked If not paid by the
15th of the month, but in the case of
May & Learning. Gregory Perkins, Jr.,
appeared and stated that the place was
in the hands of a receiver, but that If
the board would extend the time the
license would be paid, and/ the place
reopened. The request was granted.
Alfred Desmaret presented a commu
nication saying that his place had beer,
seized under an attachment by the spe
cial administrator of the Bauer estate,
but that he had hopes of raising the at
tachment, and he was granted on*
week's further time. The collector re
ported that the McGlnnls license had
been paid, and this place was scratched
off. No statements were presented lr
the cases of Enal and Horstkatte, and
those two licenses we're revoked.
A delegation presented a numerously
signed protest against the granting nt
a saloon license to J. S. Pervler, at No.
1818 South Main street. The protestants
said that they had only heard of the
attempt to establish a saloon at this
place during the last few daye, and
thinking that the license might be
granted at this meeting, had hurried ln
their protests. If more time were al- (
lowed they stated that many more sig
natures could be obtained. They were
told that the matter would not come up
for another week, and will secure further
protests to be presented at-that time.
The application of J. H. Yeoman for
the transfer of the saloon license for
No. 1504 San Fernando street to himself
from Yeoman & Brown was granted.
Murphy & O'Connor, proprietors of the
Orpheum Annex, petitioned for the re
bate of the license for April and May,
as the place had been closed for repairs
for those months and no business waa
done, and the board recommended to
the council that the petition be granted.
The application of P. J. Estes and C
Rathmore for the transfer of the saloon
license for No. 421 South Main street
from Mrs. Anna Mllner to themselves
was granted, as was the application of
John McMoroney for the transfer of his
saloon license from No. 623 to No. 619
South Spring street.
Two communications recommending
John J. Shields for appointment as a
policeman were filed.
Detective Charles J. Moffatt applied
for a ten days" leave of absence from
June 21st to 80th, with permission to
leave the city. The leave was granted
and on the explanation by the chief
that the time asked' for cov
ered the officer's annual vacation,
and Mayor Snyder suggested that as
the officers were entitled to ten days'
leave of absence every year, under the
law, the matter should be attended to
at once, so that they could commenc;
July Ist. On motion of Commissioner
Preusa, the council was asked to au
thorize the commissioners to appoint.
LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 16, 1897
ten men to fill the vacancies during the
vacation.
The application of F. Conrad for the
transfer of his saloon license from No.
135 to No. 137 East First street w as re
ferred to the chief.
Tho application of A. E Bagley for ap
pointment as stenographer for the trial
of the Chinese lottery cases, at $1.",0 per
month, was filed
Joseph Chambers was employed at a
salary of $100 p< r month to prosecute the
Chinese lottery and similar cases In the
police courts. Mr. Chambers was pres
ent, and nt the suggestion cf Commis
sioner Gibbon said that he would apply
to the district attorney to bt sworr in Bt
a special deputy. Mr, Gibbon suggested
that the attorney pay especial attention
to the matter of the bonds ln Chinese
cases, and urged that it be llxed at the
maximum fine, spec ial attention be it.:;
paid to the solvency of the sureties. It
was stated that there was no record of
a Chinaman "Jumping" his ball, but
Mr, Gibbon stated that as n good, stiff
fine or Imprisonment penalty might de
velop this habit, It was Just as well to
be on the safe side Chief Glass also
stated that In his opinion the great ma
jority of Chinese bonds were worthless,
and could not be collected, and the at
torney was Instructed to insist that only
men be accepted for bondsmen who weie
on the assessment rolls.
The applications of Albert A. Dur.ton
and Thomas Craden for appointment of
pollcement were filed.
A communication signed by six coun
eilmen recommending J. H. Broadhead
for appointment as a policeman was read
and filed.
The matter of appointment of guards
for the chain gang was taken up, and, it
appearing that the power of appoint
ment, under the ordinance, was vested
In the chief, nothing was done. Chief
Glass explained, however, that he only
nominally had this appointing power, as
he had been directed by the previous
council to let the men who were on duty
remain. The chief further protested
against the expense of the chain gang
being charged up to the police depart
ment, for while he had the custody of
them, and they were rominally under
his charge, their movements veie di
rected by the council, and they were
worked on the streets, and wherever else
they desired. After July 15th. he said,
they would be employed ln the parks, and
he thought that they should be charged
to a separate fund. The commissioners
agreed with the chief, and this item will
r.ot be included In the regular estimates
for the pcllce department for thecoming
year.
Commissioner Gibbon said thai he hna
been Informed that one or two efforts
had been attempted to resist the orders of
the board for the suppression of the
gambling nickel-in-the-slot machines,
which paid in money. He thought that
these machines should be suppressed,
and introduced the following resolution
to cover the case, which passed by a
unanimous vote:
Resolved, That from and after this
date the maintenance in any saloon ln
this city of a nickel-tn-the-slot machine,
which pays winnings in money, shall be
regarded by the commission as a sufti
cient reason for revoking the license of
such saloon.
Commissioner Preuss said (hat fre
quent complaint had been made to him
about driving loose cattle through the
streets of East I/OS Angeles. This was
a great nuisance, and frequently damage
was done to trains and flowerbeds. The
chief explained that under the law it
was necepsary to take out a permit and
deposit $25 to cover any damages that
might be caused. The chief was In
structed to enforce the ordinance, and
the board adjourned.
After adjournment the commission
ers again retired to the mayor's private
office, where another conference was
held, presumably on the lottery question.
No move was made toward Ailing the
existing vacancies on the force, nor was
the matter even mentioned or hinted at
ln the open meeting.
BOARD OF HEALTH
Necessity for a New Pesthouse—Pure
Food Agitation
The board of health met in the mayor's
office yesterday at noon, with Mayor
Snyder presiding and all the members
prese/nt except Dr. Salisbury, who ie
still absent in the east. Health Officer
Powers was also in attendance.
The arrival of several at San
Francisco recently with infectious dis
eases on board has aroused Interest in
eantiary precautions, and the matter of
the old pesthouse near the entrance to
Elysian park was taken up. This build
ing has been standing for years, and is
now unfit for occupancy. Several mem
bers of the board have recently inspect
ed the building and outhouses, and they
are unanimous in the opinion that some
provision should be made for an emer
gency,should one arise. It was thought
beet to at once take steps In this direc
tion, and not wait until there was actual
necessity for immediate action. Afler
talking over the matter, a committee,
consisting of Drs. Cowlesand Moore and
the health officer, was appointed to
make a careful'survey of the premises
and report at the next meeting the best
methods to pursue ln providing a new
pesthouse. As the old house has been
unoccupied fqr come years the health
officer was instructed to have all the old
bedding, carpets, etc., destroyed.
A communication signed by Theo. O.
Elsen and others was read, protesting
agalr.et the nuisance caused by stag
nant water along the line of the zanj.i
on Figueroa street, and asking that the
same be abated. The matter was re
ferred to the health officer to Investigate
and report.
Dr. Raymond Taylor was granted a
certificate to practice medicine on his
diploma. ,
A communication was read from the
executive committee of the pure food
congress asking that the board of health,
board of trade and other organizations
co-operate ar.d take steps for the organ
ization of a local pure food association to
stork on the lines laid out by the con
gress. The matter was referred to n
committee consisting of Drs. Cowles
and Colhurn, with the health officer as
chairman, after which the board ad
journed.
WHEELMEN AROUSED
They Come to the Front for the Four-
Foot Strip
The whelmen have been aroused by
the threat of the superintendent of
street sprinkling, Colonel Smith, that
if they did not come to the front and de
clare themselves ln the matter of leav
ing a dry four-foot Strip in the middle
of the streets for their convenience he
would have the entire street uniformly
wet down. There have been a number
of complaints from merchants and
others about the nuisance caus;d by
this dry strip, but Colonel Smith has
been holding; the protectants off by ex
plaining that there was a very large per
centage of the population who rode
wheel.", and who thought that they
should be considered to the extent of
four feet, if those who did r.ot ride got
all the rest. Hut the pressure finally got
so hard that Ihe doughty colonel thought
the wheelmen should help to bear the
but den. Hence his declaration through
the public pres?. This had the desired
effect, and yesterday the following com
munication to the city cour.cil was filed
with the clerk, which will doubtless be
followed by others as soon us the neces
sary petitions can be circulated among
those who are interested:
To the Honorable City Council—Gen
tlemen: The Los Angeles Athletic club,
the membership of which is 700, hereby
petitions your honorable body to direct
Ihe superintendent of street sprinkling
to leave a dry strip ln the center of the
streets, not less than four feet In width.
Fully two-thirds of our members are
bicycle riders and they are greatly In
convenienced by the sloppy condition of
the streets, which makes it impossible
to ride a bicycle thereon. Respectfully,
JOHN E. DRINK, President.
W. M. M'STAY, Secretary.
"GOOSENECKS" TO GO
One of the Improvements Scheduled
for July Ist
Among the many improvements con
templated by the city council for the
next fiscal year is the removal of the
Inconvenient and unsightly "gooseneck"
sprinkling hydrants, which have for so
many years disfigured the streets. These
gibbet-like affairs are not oniy displeas
ing to the eye, but they are a positive
nuisance, causing unsanitary pools
wherever located. Not only this, but In
many instances they have been connect
ed with the fire hydrants, and wherever
this is the case the water company has
refused to repair them when they got out
of repair, claiming that under thelrchar
ter they are only compelled to keep Are
hydrants in proper shape, and that the
city is trespassing on their property
whenever they attach a "gooseneck" ex
cept directly to the main. Ever 3ince
Colonel Smith was elected superintend
ent of street sprinkling he has been try
ing to have these hydrants changed,
and has perfected a device by which the
connections w ill all be out of sight, and
at the same time be an Improvement
over the existing hydrants. The cost of
,the proposed mew connections is only
$18 each, as against an average of $31 for
those now in use. Not only this, but in
filling the wagons the flow is controlled
so that there will be no waste water,
consequently no pools and mud pud
dles. There are now In use about 250
of the "goosenecks." It is intimated
that a majority of the couneilmen favor
the change, and that provision will be
made for this improvement in the next
tax levy.
ESTIMATES FOR 1897-98
The Heads of the Departments Are
Hard at Work (
The heads of the various departments
of the city government are busy gather
ing data on which to base their esti
mates for expenditures for the coming
year. The greatest burden falls, of
course, on the street superintendent and
city engineer, whose work will be very
largely increased. Counting in the an
nexed territory, the city now has approx
imately 500 miles of streets, very nearly
200 miles of w-hich are either paved,
graded and graveled or roaded up, and
there are 135 miles of sewers. Many
streets in the annexed territory are al
ready graded, and these, of course, will
have to be sprinkled and cared for. Then
the indications are that there will be
much street improvement in these sec
tions, which will not only add to the
street superintendent's work, but also
that of the city .engineer, to say nothing
of the extra work caused by the water
proposition. Mr. Drain says that he will
have to make all of his estimates Inde
pendent of existing conditions. Owing
to the straitened financial condition
of the city his force has been reduced to
such a point that he could really only at
tend to emergency matters. At present
he has but twenty-five laborers, and nine
teams, his pay roll being £bout $2000 a
month, exclusive of office force and dep
uties. This number is wholly Inadequate,
even for the old territory, to say nothing
of the new. The cost of street sweeping
is now about $1500 per month, while that
of sprinkling is $3060. Then lights will
have to be provided, and this also means
the expenditure of money. Altogether it
will take considerable figuring to pro
vide for the changed condition of affairs
Vom and after July Ist.
A Kick to the Council
A petition to the city council was yes
terday filed with the city clerk as fol
lows:
LOS ANGELES, June 15, 1897.
Gentlemen: It has occurred lately that
the property owners have not been noti
fied of the street assessment becoming
due; their first Intimation being a suit
filed against them. Inquiry at the city
hall has disclosed the astonishing fact
that it is not the duty of any official to
notify the property owners.
I hereby petition you to remedy this
evil and order that come one of the of
ficials notify the property owners when
their respective assessments become
due. Respectfully yours,
T. WIESENDANGER.
Will Plead Guilty
James Armstrong, who was caught a
few days ago by Officer George in the
act of lifting a pair of pantß from where
they were hung out for display in front
of a Main street store, was yesterday
held to answer for trial ln the superior
court on a charge of petty larceny, with
a prior conviction. He has signified' his
Intention of pleading guilty.

ANNUAL RECEPTION
ACADEMY OF SCIENCES MET
LAST NIGHT
Addresses on Astronomy and Chemis
try—Vocal and Instrumental
Music—Punch Served
The Academy of Sciences held their
annual meeting last evening, and a large
audience assembled in the Friday Morn-
ing club rooms to enjoy the program
that was promised. William A. Spald
ing, president, occupied the chair, and
after ten new members had been elected
to the academy the first speaker of the
evening was introduced.
Dr. Lewis Swift, F. R. A. S., of the
Mount Lowe observatory, made a very
interesting and instructive address on
the ."Recent Advance in Celestial Re
search," in which he first referred to the
vibrations which produce light, color,
heat, etc., the interesting results from an
analysis of water, alkali, cigar ashes ar.d
other substances and liquids; of the
movements of the stars as determined
by the spectroscope, its use in other de
partments, and the contrast between it
and the telescope. Dr. Swift then took
up the different planets and various-ce
lestial bodies, and with remarkable read
iness he stated from memory innumer
able statistics, reviewed observations,
and announced wonders of various kinds
that had been evolved by modern scien
tific research.
At the conclusion of Dr. Swift's address
Mrs. Abbot- Kinney's delightfully rich
and musical voice was heard fn "Love's
Nocturne," by Hope Temple. Dr. Frank
Bullard was then introduced, and with
the assistance of Dr. Day, Dr. Bullard
entertained his audience for half an hour
with the chemical effect produced by
misting gases with liquids or alkalis with
aeirta, and vice versa. In test retorts or
glass jars. The speaker showed how
he produced a blue llame, a deep, fash
ionable shade of cerise in liquid, a deli
cious yellow, a black, a brilliant red, and
from that brilliant red a deep blue. Dr.
Bullard spoke of the chemical energy
which holds atoms together, and then'
in his illustration he explained the forces
as heat, or the positive and negative
atoms In different substances that repel
or attract those in others.
Miss Gertrude Bigelow next gave an
artistic rendering of Liszt's beautiful
"Liebestraum," and then Dr. Davidson
was called upon to make a report from
the botanical section. The doctorspoke
of the need of a home for the academy,
and announced that there were nearly
$50,000 worth of rare and interesting cu
rios promised that could be displayed
in it.
W. C. Patterson was called upon for a
speech, but he stated that he had merely
come as escort to Dr. Swift, and
therefore as a listener, but he felt im
pelled" to express his delight that the
academy was in existence, and that he
approved of any society that takes men
out of themselves and Into the contem
plation of higher things, and he wished
the academy a long and vigorous life.
B. R. Baumgardt stated that he had
membership blanks which he should
be delighted to fill out; he stated terms
and extended cordial invitation to "come
and join." Adjournment was then taken,
and the rest of the evening was occupied
with Informal conversation and the dls
ctisslon of a particularly inviting punch
which was dispensed by the ladies.
The officers for the ensuing year as
elected by the board of managers are as
follows: W. A. Spalding, president;
Abbott Kinney, first vice-preHdent; Dr.
A. Davidson, second vice-president; Dr.
E. Arnold Praeger, treasurer; B. R.
Baumgardt, secretary. Directors: Wil
liam J. D. Hooker, Joseph C.
Nevin, Ph. D., Dr. H. M. Bishop, Prof. J.
A. Foshay, J. S. Voshlng.

days ln jail. Huff wae formerly a part
ner of Garcia's, but he sold out his in
