Attorney Rogers Concludes Argu

Arguments by attorneys represent

works against tho Los Angeles Metal
Trades council were concluded last
evening before Judge Bordwell, who
took the matter under submission.
This followed the arguments of the
attorneys for tho strikers earlier in
the week, who contended that such a
restraining order could not be issued
legally when no specific acts of law
breaking were set forth in the com
plaint; also that "picketing" was of
two kinds, lawful and unlawful.
Earl Rogers, speaking for the em
ployers, insisted it had been repeatedly
held by the courts that specific viola

he stated, In its very nature is intimi

CHINESE PIRATES KILLED
BY PORTUGUESE GUNBOAT
Colowan Island Fort Occupants
Driven from Stronghold
HONG KONG, July 14.—The guns of
the Portuguese gunboat Patria today
dislodged the Chinese from the fort on
Colowan Island. Many of the Chinese
wore killed.
Two junks loaded with Chinese who
W6re attempting; to escape were sunk
and all of their occupants drowned.
The Chinese gunboat stationed here
watched the operations. Trouble be
tween the Portuguese and Chinese on
Colowan island grow out of an at
tempt of a force of Portuguese soldiers
to rescue several Chinese students who
were held captives by pirates on the
Island. The pirates showed fight and
were reinforced by natives from the
Chinese villages of the interior. The
resistance was so effective that the
governor of Mncao sent a gunboat to
bomj^ird the pirate villages and fort.

MACHINE MAKES DATES;
ALSO HELPS KEEP THEM
Pay 5 Cents. Leave Message,
and Ovenshire Cabinet
Will Do the Rest
Here's the latest! A •machine that
makes "dates" —and helps you keep
them! It Is said to be the newest and
best thing out and is known as the
Ovenshire cabinet. It is now on ex
hibition at 244 South Broadway. Each
date you make costs you five cents
and the method is simplicity itself.
You leave your message. The person
it is intended for reads it and leaves
an answer naming a meeting place.
A slot on either side of the cabinet,
which is eight feet high, two feet wide
and four feet long, permits the inser
tion of a nickel, and by pressing a
lever on the right side of a metal box
a sheet of white paper is disclosed on
which the message may be written,
dressing a second lever on the left
side .of the box brings the message
into view in a runway holding spaces
for ten others, each alternated by an
advertisement printed on a space of
the white paper of the same size as
allotted to the message.
When all of the ten spaces are
filled with messages, an attendant re
moves the strip of paper on which they
are written, and it is placed in full
view of everyone upon a revolving cyl
inder, labeled beneath in large letters,
TODAY.
There the strip containing the mes
sages ia permitted to remain twenty
four hours, when it is removed to an
other revolving cylinder, labeled Tues
day, Wednesday or whatever day the
message was written and placed in the
cabinet, and permitted to remain a
week for Inspection by the person for
whom it is intended.
It is the intention of the owners to
plp.ee the cabinets In hotels, theaters
and depots, throughout the entire Unit
ed States.
The idea of building such a cabinet
was originated by Mr. Ovenshire, af
ter whom the company is named, as a
result of his being compelled once to
spend much valuable time in one of
the local depots waiting for the arrival
of his wife, who had previously ad
vised him of her departure for Los
Angeles, but of the time of whose ar
rival he was in doubt.
Had there been a convenient place
to have left a message for her, he
could have then directed her where to
go upon her arrival, and gone as usual
about hia everyday business without
loss of time.
FORESTERS TO HAVE CHARGE
OF FITZGERALD'S FUNERAL
Arrangements are being made for
the funeral Monday of J. J. Fitzger

Tuesday of apoplexy. The Indepen
dent order of Foresters will have
charge of the funeral. It is expect
ed the body will arrive here Saturday.
Mr. Fitzgerald lived at 1033 South
Olive street, this city. He had been
in the employ of the National Flre
prooflng company twelve years. A

137-139 South Spring St., Near 2nd—Open Evenings
PLAN GREAT RECEPTION
FOR MISSOURI DEMOCRAT
Expect to Show Prominent
Leader Achievements in
Clean Politics
The Democrats of Los Angeles |ire
making arrangements enthusiastically
for the reception to be tendered to Con
gressman James T. Lloyd of Missouri,
chairman of the national Democratic
congressional committee, who will ar
rive in Los Angeles about July 25.
Owing to the uncertainty as to the
exact date of Congressman Lloyd's ar
rival, Chairman Norton of the Los
Angeles county Democratic committee
said last night that he could not yet
give out the details of the program, but
stated that it was planned as one of
the biggest events of the prelprimary
campaign.
Mr. Lloyd is coming to Los Angeles
especially to consult with the leaders of
the party here relative to their con
gressional campaign, and Lorin A.
Handley, the Democratic candidate for
congress from the Seventh (Los Ange
les) district, who now is hunting and
fishing; in Kings county in company
with City Tax Collector Clarence Tag
garti has been notified of Mr. Lloyd's
desire to thresh out the congressional
situation, so Mr. Handleji will return
from his vacation in time to meet him
and discuss the arrangements.
Congressman Lloyd is now serving his
sixth term in congress, and has long
been known as one of the most pro
gressive and energetic members of the
lower house.. He is consideerd a party
paragon, lias earned a reputation tor
fearlessness, honesty and loyalty to
Democratic principles which have made
him a national leader.
While in Los Angeles Mr. Lloyd la
expected to address the local Democrats
at a Bumptuous banquet to be tendere l
to him at Levy's cafe, Mr. Lloyd his
shown deep interest in the anti-ma
chine fight in California, and in letters
to the leaders of the party here ha*
frequently congratulated them un their
good work in ridding the party of ina
chine bosses.
The reorganisation of the Democratic
party of California, which has resulted
from the council* of its good govern
ment leaders, has brought about the
elimination of a number of men who,
although wealthy, Influential and in
the past lavish contributors to the par
ty's fund, were regarded as Southern
Pacific tools, or representatives of spe
cial interests, and hence undesirable
because of the corrupt and pernicious
tactics they pursued in their efforts to
control the party.
These men have been read out, or
forced to quit, under the new Demo
cratic organization, and now are eiUier
working actively in 4he (i. O. P. ma
chine camp or are entirely out of poli
tics.
Chairman Norton of the eouney cen
tral committee stated yesterday that
Congressman Lloyd, former Qovwnor
Folk of Missouri, Governor Harmon of
Ohio and Mayor Gaynor of New York
are among the prominent eastern Dem
ocrats who.have sent letters of con
gratulation either to the state central
committee or to the Los Angeles county
central committee, commending the
party leaders for their riddance; of the
old-time machine men, and for their
progressive and purifying work In es
tablishing the party on v good govern
ment basis.
"Congressman Lloyd himself has done>
a great deal i" encourage us In the
anti-machine struggle," said Mr. Nor-
ton yesterday, "and we are preparing to
give him a genuine surpris^ when he
arrives, for we have accomplished a
great deal, in addition to what he lias
mentioned, of which he is not yet
aware. For instance, here in Los An
geles county we have eliminated no
fewer than twenty old-time machine
bosses and ward heelers, and have done
more for the cause of better govern
ment and cleaner politics, I believe,
than any organization in the county.
And incidentally we have built up the
strongest and best fortified organiza
tion over known in the history of Los
Angeles. It Is made up of progressive
and clean Democrats, and these Demo
crats have Indorsed a county ticket of
good government candidates whose rep
utations for good government work and
whose records as active and patriotic
citizens make this ticket the beirt and
cleanest ever submitted to the voter!
of the county." -

DOOM OF BOXING
ORDINANCE SEALED
Legislation Committee of City
Council Urges Ordinance to
Prevent Sparring Bouts
The beginning of the end of the
fight game in Los Angeles was marked
last night whon Counetlmen Betkouski
and Andrews, a quorum of the coun
eilmanic legislation committee, decided
to recommend at the next meeting of
the oity council that the city attorney
be instructed to draft an ordinance
that will prohibit all boxing and
sparring exhibitions in the city of Los
Angeles to which an admission fee is
charged. Councilman Gregory was
the absent member of the committee.
"1 am not very strong for such an
ordinance," remarked Betkouski last
night, "but I feel there are sufficient
votes In the present council to pass it."
Councilman Andrews expressed him
self as being- unalterably opposed to
sparring or boxing contests to Which
an admission fee is charged.
"1 am not so much opposed," said
Andrews, "to a good, clean sparring
exhibition, such as might be held in
a well regulated amateur club, but 1
am opposed to admission being charged
to witness brutality.
"I move that we instruct the city
attorney to draw a modern ordinance
which will prohibit boxing or sparring
exhibitions to which an admission fee
is charged."
Tun i■(•commendations from the civic
righteousness committee of the
Church Federation of Los Angeles
stiiicd the committee to action. The
first suggested that the legal fee tor
boxing exhibitions be made so high
and the rules and regulations govern
ing boxing matches be made so strin
gent that it would tend to discourage
this form of "commercialized brutal
ity."
No action having been taken by tho
council on the first communication of
tin- Church federation, a second fol
lowed, suggesting therein that District
Attorney Fredericks would be able to
ent prize fights as well as sparring
exhibitions in Los Angeles if the ooun
cll would repeal the existing ordinance,
which permits sparring exhibitions,
with certain restrictions. Under the
present city ordinance no sparring ox~
hibition shall go over ten rounds, an.l
rit its close no decision shall he ren
dered. It is not permissible to ;
.1 i rise to the winner.
Rome weeks ago District Attorney
Fredericks was quoted as saying: "II
the city will repeal the ordinance i" '
mitting sparring exhibitions, l will
stop tights ill Los Angeles. Seeti,,n
412 of the penai code of the stale i :
California prohibits all prize fights an I
sparring exhibitions as well, hut con
tains a proviso permitting city coun
cils to pass ordinances permitting spai •
ring exhibitions. If this is repealed
boxing exhibitions will come t
end in Los Angeles."
At next Tuesday's meeting <'i'y At
torney Hewitt will he formally in
structed to draft an ordinance prohibit
ing boxing or spurring exhibitions, if
the council accepts the recommi
tion of the legislation committee, Tl ■
ordinance SO ordered will he subn
to the same committee for an invest:
gaMon and report as to its passage. Tlk
next meeting of the council folli
the report will perhaps me.in the. death
of the tight, game here.
