CHURCHES ASK
LIQUOR LAW
WANT WHOLESALERS TO DEAL
ONLY WITH RETAILERB
BAL.OON AND RESTAURANT LI
CENSES TO BE SEPARATED
Civic Righteousness Committee of the
Christian Federation to Defend
Proposed Measure by Argu
ment Before Council
Chairman Nathan Newby of the civic
righteousness commltete of the Church
federation appeared before the city coun
cil yesterday to aek that the liquor laws
be corrected In some particulara
The essence of the request was con
tained In the following memorial which
Attorney Newby read:
That one or more ordinances should
be adopted In order to correct as> far
as possible some of the evils resulting
from the liquor traffic In this city.
First— We ..rge the adoption of an
ordinance defining a wholesale liquor
establishment to be a place where
spirituous, vinous, malt or mixed In
toxicating liquors are sold, served or
given away to licensed retail dealers
only, in quantities of not less than
five gallons.
Becond— We urge the adoption of an
' ordinance making It unlawful for the
same person or his agent or employe
to hold a saloon license and a restau
rant liquor license at the same time;
also forbidding the maintenance of a
aloon and a restaurant In the same
or adjoining or connecting rooms.
Ordinances along the lines herein
suggested are so obviously necessary
and Just, as well as reasonable, that
they ought to be adopted at an early
date; and we stand ready to defend
them by argument whenever your hon
orable body Is ready to consider them.
May Drive Wholesalers Out
: | The ] proposed clause with reference to
i wholesalers being permitted to sell only
to retailers Is considered radical by liquor
men. V They say It would' drive most of
the ninety wholesalers here out of busi
ness. 'V.'* .""'.'••.-
The proposed separation of restaurants
and saloons is also an advanced step In
the eyes of the thirst Interests.
Councilman Healy wanted to know why
drug stores were not mentioned In the
memorial. Intimating that they, too,
should have drastic legislation as well
as restaurants.
Chairman Newby said they were al
ready covered by present ordinaces.
The committee of the who'.e will dis
cuss the memorial before any action Is
taken thereon by the council, Mr. Wal
lace remarking that there was much ac
cumulated business in that committee.
TRIED TO BUY TOWN ON
$15 ACCOUNT IN BANK
Edward Prescott, Who Purchased Jew
elry, Clothes and Wheel with
Checks, Weeps When Placed
on Probation
Edward Prescott, who recently pleaded
guilty to drawing checks on a bank in
which he had no funds, was arraigned
before Judge Wilbur yesterday for sen
tence. The defendant had made applica
tion for probation and the court was dis
posed to listen favorably to it.
Deputy District Attorney McComas was
asked if his office had Investigated the
application for parole, and if they had
any recommendation to offer. He replied
that he had been present at the prelim
inary hearing at Pomona, where the of
fense was committed, and knew the evi
dence in the case.
Prescott, he said, had deposited JIB in
the American National bank of Pomona
early in the morning. After banking
hours he went v the Whitney Jewelry
store, bought two diamond rings and a
watch and gave in payment a check for
$195. The rings he took with him, but he
left the watch to be engraved.
Then he went to a bicycle store and
passed another check for J4B. Next he
ordered a $35, suit of clothes, and while
In the latter place tried to get some cash
on another check.
In the meantime Whitney, the Jeweler,
had met the cashier of the bank and
asked him about the check. He was told
that Prescott had only $15 to his credit
and the check was worthless. While
they were talking the bicycle dealer
came along to ask the same question of
the cashier.
Prescott was apprehended.
"What was the evidence as to the In
toxicated condition of the prisoner,"
asked the court.
"He was no drunker than I am now,"
answered kcOomaa, "and If let alone ho
would have bought out the whole town. '
The defendant's counsel admitted that
the story was substantially true, except
that the prisoner was intoxicated and
didn't know what he was doing. He had
always borne a good reputation.
Prescott broke Into tears when the
court asked what he would do if paroled
and promised to go to work and quit
drinking.
He was placed on probation for two
* years.

MAY BAR OFFICE HOLDERS
FROM CHARTER COMMISSION
MAYOR HARPER FAVORS IDEA OF
ELIMINATION
Next Friday Revisers Probably Will
Enlarge Their Number to Forty
five — Some Favor Council
men-at.Large
Mayor Harper In asking to be excused
from service on the charter revision com
mission It Is believed voices the senti
ment that present city officeholders
should have no part In framing th« new
charter.
At next Friday's meeting it Is believed
that an enlarged committee of forty-five
will be suggested In order that ample
division of the various subjects could
be made in subcommittees.
If the plan of the mayor Is carried out
no officeholder and no man who is not
eligible for election as a freeholder can
sit or the enlarged commission.
Two vital questions, with the commis
sion are said to be the terms of railway
franchises and the revision of ward lines.
One plan Is to revise the lines without
Increasing the number of wards. The
plan would be to equalize the voting
basis.
Besides the nine councilmen the plan
of some Is to add four councilmen at
large on the theory that at present coun
cilmen are concerned mainly with ward
matters near to them rather than with
the entire city's Interests.
Councilman Healy will advocate a con
troller with enlarged powers.

ing thereto an additional section:
"Providing that when In the discret
ion of the board of public works it may
be necessary to Inaugurate a policy of
retrenchment to keep within the an
nual appropriation allowed by the
council for the operation of the de
partment, the board be authorized and
empowered to grant leaves of absence
