CHILDREN'S NICKELS
A NOVEL ENTERPRISE AT SANTA
MONICA
Slot Machines on the Beach With
Young Girls as Their
Patrons
SANTA MONICA, Aug. s.—Although a
large number ot niekel-ln-the-slot ma
chines have been in operation here during
the summer, for the most part unmolested.
.1 phase of the question has lately pre
sented itself which touches, not so much
on their presence in number, which
reaches' lit the neighborhood Of twenty, as
the nature of the places in which some ot
the machines are placed and the kind of
goods they pay ln. Numerous machines
are running ln tho several saloons about
town, which pay their patrons ln checks
redeemable ln "merchandise." For the
privilege of conducting these their owners
pay a county license of 15 per quarter. An
exception to the latter fact was found In
the case of Hans Rasmusscn, who was ar
rested last Sunday for runnlug a game
without a license, and for wTilch violation
of county law he paid a fine of $10.
Bub in the matow of several other ma
chines, which pay a very small percentage
and that In coin, and for which, according
to county law, no license may be Issued,
tho state law Is also being directly vio
lated. One saloonkeeper here has eight
machines In operation—live at ills place of
business, one at an Ocean avenue fruit
stand and two ln beach restaurants, the
latter three being accessible to young
children, who arc gradually becoming con
stant patrons of the fascinating wheels.
During the past week no loss than twelve
young girls and boys have been counted
at one time engrossed in the tickle game
at; one of the laet named places. No at
tempt has been made by the officers to
put a stop to this .business for the reason
that they consider the matter not one for
municipal Interference on the ground that,
there is no city ordinance prohibiting or
controlling the machines. They claim that
state or county officials are responsible for
the violation of the law. It Is probable
that the subject would not have received
unusual attention had not the, owner of the
above named machines grovvn too avari
cious for the nickel of his tellow men and
women, to say nothing of the children, by
placing them in places frequented by the
latter, who have patronised them to such
an alarming extent that the machines have
proven a source of unexpected revenue.
The moneymuklng proclivities of the ma
chine are great on an SO per cent basis.
glvinsJ the players opportunities few and
far between to be winners, but the young
folks who dally push their nickels do not
realise this, and the occasional dime or
quarter which 19 turned out proves a fas
cination too strong to be resisted 'by tho
little embryo gamblers.
When interviewed'on the subject City
Marshal Barretto expressed his willing
ness to do all in his power to remove (his
feature of gambling, and signified his in
tention of Immediately serving notice on
those conducting games outside of saloons
to close them up.
It Is said that an ordinance will be pre
sented at next Monday's meeting of the
board of trustees to get around this dif
ficulty, making it a misdemeanor for
minors to play nlckel-ln-the.-slot machines,
which will virtually be prohibiting minors
from breaking a law which adults, are al
lowed constantly to break Into small bits.

WORRIED OVER CHINA
English Diplomats Alarmed Over the
Aggression of Russia
LONDON, Aug. s.—There Is great uneasi

nese situation, which is regarded as bring
ing an open conllict Between Great Britain
and Russia within measurable distance, and
it is universally felt that the Marquis of
Salisbury's inverlebracy in yielding to
Russian aggressiveness is responsible for
ihe dangerous complication, which can only
be overcome by the prompt and most firm
Intimation that Russia's open opposition
to British commercial concessions must
cease.
In this connection the story is current
that the Princess of Wales' hurried depar
ture from England was in response to a dis
patch from her sister. Dowager Empress
of Russia, bearing upon the Anglo-Rus

Dowager Empress Is strenuously working

HANSEN ARRESTED
SUSPECTED OP THE SAN EER-
NARDINO DEPOT BURGLARY
Riverside Republicans at Odds—The
Missed Opportunity for Satisfac
tory Lighting Power
RIVERSIDE, Aug. B.—Nell Hansen, who
has made tlils city his headquarters for
some time past, was placed under arrest
late last evening upon orders from Sun
Bernardino! officers, who suspect that
Hansen was one of the parties who en
tered the depot at Ban Bernardino Thurs
day noon und robbed the till. There are
two pals of Hansen's whom the officers
would like to lay their hands upon. These
two came to the city from San Bernardino
Thursday on the 3:ir, p. m. train, and tin
officers here spotted the trio, but had'no
orders to make the arrests, and when
orders did come two of the men could not
be found. Hansen, who has been loullng
about the city for weeks, says he had
nothing to do with the robbery, but the
officers disagree with him, and they say
th">- have evidence to prove that he Is the
one who tapped the till while the puis
stood guard outside. When arrested Han
sen had no money. Detective Bowler Of
the Southern Pacilic force is here working
on the case.
Republican Bickerings
There is a stern struggle among the

Some of the leaders want the same dele
gates to represent the party both at the
state and congressional conventions. Tho
Crlandl of Captain M. J. Daniels, candi
date for congress, want the delegations to
be the same for trailing reasons, whfiV
others, who don't care so much for the
congressional nomination, but want to
have something to say ln the state con
vention, say them nay. The prejient indi
cations are that the ambition ofthe Dan
iels forces Is doomed to disappointment.
The Lighting Trouble
When this city first talked of having Its
own city lighting system and aguln after
the bonds had been voted for the system,
the Riverside Water Company offered the
city Its line water power at East River
side at a rental of $JjO a month and guar
anteed a SCO-horse power. The offer was
rejected by the trustees for the reason
that the power was not sufficient, and then
they went ahead and made their memora
ble contract with the Redlands company,
by Which the city ti'us In Have 300 horse
power and as much more a* it wanted. The
Riverside Water company leased its power
to the San Bernardino company, which
knew a good thing when it saw lt. Now
the water company Is supplying the San
Bernardino company with 2*>o horse power
