BETTING GETS BLOW
Councilmen Draft Ordinance
Against Baseball Wagers.
AIM IS AT CIGAR STORES
Cut In Curfew Ace Limit Krom 2 1 to
18 Also Recommended Bnlld
inur Inspector Reports Prog
ress on Elevator Law.
An ordinance prohibiting the placing
of a bet on baseball games within the
city was recommended for passage yes
terday morning by the Council com
mittee on health and police. It was
ursed for favorable action by City At
torney Grant, who sent In a letter with
his recommendation, saying It Is noto
rious that regular establishments for
placing wagers are conducted here.
Councilman Wallace moved the or
dinance be sent to the main body with
recommendation that It pass. Council
man Jennings, committee chairman,
was also In favor of this, but Council
man Monks said he felt It might cur
tail per5onal liberty. Later he was
convinced by arguments of his col
leagues and others present that the
proposed law Is all right and voted
for It.
"I am not sure that I favor this
proposition." said Mr. Monks, when the
subject was first brousht up. "If Mr.
Grant has any particular places In
mind where wagers are posted, he
should make the provisions hit them.
If this law means that a man can't bet
a friend a dinner or a cigar or some
thing like that Just for fun. 1 will not
vote for It. It would be foolish."
Mr. Monks waa assured that the
places sought to be hit by the ordi
nance are cigar stores, where a regular
betting scheme Is carried on.
Tho committee also recommended an
ordinance cutting down the curfew age
limit from 51 to 1 years, placing men
and women on an equal age basis. At
present, the law requires all men un
der 21 years to be off the streets at
curfew hour, unleas accompanied by
proper escort, and women under 18
years. The Vice Commission urged Its
passage, as the police declare they can
enforce such a measure much better
than- the present one.
Building Inspector Plummer reported
that he Is making progress on a pro
posed ordinance governing the opera
tion of elevators, and the committee
voted to give him all necessary time to
compile it.
An ordinance regulating electric
wiring within the city was recommend
ed for passage. It haa been approved
by the various. Interests concerned and
Is said to be an excellent measure. It
will become part of the building code
when passed.

JUSTICES ALSO COMPLAIN
Cases Said to Be Juggled From One

Issue a warrant for the arrest of C. W.
Fowler, a chiropodist, accused of lar
ceny. This action was taken after Dep
uty District Attorney Page threatened
to call the munlclpa Judge before the
grand Jury. Judge Tazwell announced
that he would take the matter up with
District Attorney Cameron, with a
view to relieving the congestion In hla
CThls was one of several tiffs betweefl
deputies from the District Attorney's
fflce and the municipal Judge. Only
a few days ago Deputy Collier defied
a threat of contempt proceedings in
refusing to place before the court his
evidence against ratrolman Maddux,
charged with grafting. Deputy Collier
than announced that he intended to
have the grand Jury look Into TazwelVs
conduct, not only In the Maddux case,
but also In the ease of the domestic
troubles of Seneca Fouts, in which
Maddux is Involved as arresting of
ficer. For several months a game of pass
the buck" between the Municipal and
Justice Courts, over the question of
who shall try cases Issuing from the
office of the District Attorney, is said
to have been in progress. Tazwell is
willing to receive all cases In which
police officers are the complainants,
and Justices Bell and Olson accept
cases arising outside the city. But
about half of all the complaints are in
neither of these classes, and all the
magistrates complain of congested
dockets.
Justices say their calendars are full
of civil matters and that the presenta
tion of one criminal case, if contested
a any length, throws their entire sys
tem out of order. They also point out
tha they sit continuously during busi
ness hours, while Tazwell Is at liberty
aa soon aa his day's docket Is done, and
usually soon after noon. On the other
hand, they receive higher pay.
Tho business In the Municipal Court
Is Irregular aa to the amount of time
consumed. On rare daya the docket is
finished by 10:30 in the morning, and
frequently there la no session after
noon. When jury trials are demanded,
or a series of raids is going on, as at
present, the court alts all day, and
Judge Tazwell also points out that
frequently he Is called from bis bed to
fix bail.

garet Bellalre because of her refusal
to allow him to continue paying atten
tion to her 15-year-old daughter, en
tered a plea of not guilty to an Indict
ment In which he Is charged with mur
der In the first degree.
It C. Kins, attorney for Torbet,
urged the court to give still further
time in which to prepare a plea, urging
that the young man's uncle and foster
father. W. T. Whitlock. who lives at
Berkeley, on the Estacada line. Is still
quite 111 and not prepared to go ahead
with the case. Grief because of young
Torbet's plight has aggravated hla
condition. The boy's mother died when
h was a baby, and he was the same as
a son to the uncle. J
Judge Morrow .refused the request,
declaring that there was no legitimate
reason for further delay. Presiding
judre Kavanaugh will probably set tho
date of trial In a few days.
Harriet Bcllaire. the girl with whom
Torbet was infatuated, has been re
leased from the County Jail to the
custody of Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, head
of the department of public safety for
young women. She was arrested Thurs
day, to be held as a witness after Dep
uty District Attorney Fitszerald haJ
learned that Torbet's attorney was
seeking to have the girl visit his
client In the County Jail.
STRASSBERG IS ON TRIAL
Prosecution Opens In Case of Man
Charged With Being Parasite.
Sensational charges and counter
charges. Involving public officials and
many members of the local underworld,
were hurled back and forth during: a
two-hour session of the Municipal
Court yesterday, to hear the case of
Islo Strassberg, accused of being a
parasite.
Pursuant to a demand of the defense
and an order of Judge Tazwell, Kras
ner. Singer and Rosie Babcock, a
courtesan, were in court as witnesses
yesterday, but threw little light, except
by inference, upon the motives for a
series of raids upon the places kept by
Strassberg and Meyer Kaplan. Wit
nesses said that Strassberg had a bad
reputation, both here and in many other
cities, as one who followed upon the
trail of parasites and levied blackmail
upon them. It was asserted that his
ostensible proprietorship of a restaur
ant on Tavlor street was merely a blind
to cover his other operations. Shortly
after noon the city rested its case and
the hearing of tho defense went over
until Tuesday, in order that the court
might take up before a Jury the trial
of the same defendant and his asso
ciates on a charge of gambling.

NEGRO LAWYER SCORED
ATTORNEY DEMAND REOPEN
ING OF SIMPSON CASE.
Operations or Runners In City Jail
Will Receive Attention at
Hearing Next Friday. . j
Scoring the conduct of Lew DawleV.
a negro attorney who appeared for the
man. Attorney John McCue appeared
In Municipal Court yesterday to de
mand the reopening of the case -of
Hugh Simpson, a young railroad man
from Ogden. convicted of peddling
without a license and photographed as
a criminal. -
Operations of lawyers runners in the
city Jail, which were exposed by the
confession of a trusty Thursday, were
again brousht up in this case. Simp
son was picked up on the street by
Detectives Swennes and Moloney, as
he was peddling a watch. While
awaiting trial in the prisoners' box.
savs Simpson, the bailiff brought him
a card of Attorney Dawley, and asked
if he. wished to see a lawyer. Simpson
replied that he had no objection to
talking to Dawley, and was brought
out for a conference. After a brief
consultation, he asserts, Dawley ad
dressed the court wltftout his sanction
and offered to plead guilty on condi
tion that no penalty should be im
posed. It was so ordered and Simpson
was taken in charge by the officers,
who secured his photograph and Ber
tillon measurements. Then he was re
leased and at onco laid his caso be
fore the members of hfs lodge. He
gave Dawlev his order for 10 for his
services, out of the 28 he had on de
posit at the desk.
Bailiff Padrick says that he took In
Dawley's card at the solicitation of
the attorney, "as he is instructed to
do in such cases. It has been the
custom to take attorneys into the
prisoners' box at their request, and
sometimes the lawyers managed to pick
up several cases while conferring with
one prisoner.. This practice has been
stopped.
Attorney McCue and Deputy City At
torney Sullivan say they will ask the
court to allow the widest latitude
when the case comes to hearing next
Tuesday, with a view to ventilating the
methods by which business is 'rustled"
by lawyers among the prisoners.
Dawley was one of the attorneys
mentioned Thursday in a confession by
Louie Anderson, a trusty, caught in
the act of soliciting business among
prisoners.
