San Francisco. June Ig.^-The board
of supervisors -has panned.' to print a
new Ikiuor'ilcense law for this dlty, to
take effect on the reopening of the sa
loons oh July 5.
The new ordlnahce, which. It Is gen
erally believed, will be finally passed
and signed by the. mayor, has for Its
principal features the liaising of the li
cense fee from $84 to $500 per annum,
and the abolishment of the saloons
run Id connection .with corner groce
ries. Until further action by the su
pervisor saloons wUl be. compelled to
close between $ p. m. and 8 a. m. The
new ordinance also provides that there
shall be no saloons within 160 feet of
any church or school, and that licenses
w ill be Issued only to cltlsens or those
imbndlng to become cltlsens. No men
tion Is made of Sunday closing.
Although not embodied In the new
law. It Is understood to be the senti
ment of the majority of the supervisors
that the number of saloons shall be
cut down considerably. Before the
great Are there wero 3,600 licensed
drinking places In the city, and the
talked-of plan will allow one saloon for
each 500 population, which would mean
even with n population of 400,000 only
800 saloons.
The combined liquor Interests made
a tight before the supervisors, but their
arguments went for naugth, as It la ad

WOMAN SMOTHERS
MAN IN A TRUNK
Tries to Get Rid or
Body—Found Guilty
of Murder.
SAYS SHE WAS FORCED
TO KILL COMPANION.
Sentence Is to Be Passed July 9.
Her Lawyer Promises to
* Make Appeal.
By Private Leased Wire.
Stockton, Cal., June 26.—Mrs. Emma
Ledoux. convicted Saturday of the
murder of Albert N. McVIcar, has the
distinction of being the first woman In
California found guilty of murder In
the first degree without a recommenda
tion for mercy upon the part of the
Jury.
The body of McVIcar, a- man weigh
Ing 180 pounds, was found packed Into
a trunk at the Southern Pacific depot
baggage room on the evening of March
26, this year. A quick Investigation
threw suspicion upon Mrs. Ledoux, w ho
had been traveling as McVIcar's wife,
and within seventy-two hours she was
under arrest at Antioch, not many
miles from the scene of the crime.
Evidence was brought showing that
she had married McVIcar while her
first husband, Ledoux, was living. The
strongest circumstantial evidence
pointed td the fact that the woman had
drugged McVIcar and before he waa
dead, had packed his body Into the
trunk, locked and roped It and sent for
the expressman. Medical testimony
showed that McVIcar had smothered
to death In the trunk.
Mrs. Ledoux, a frail woman, weigh
ing 102 pounds. In the fare of the
strongest kind of evidence, maintained
her Innocence to the last.
When arrested she told contradic
tory stories, naver denying knowledge
of McVIcar's death. Her defense was
that McVIcar had taken poison and
that a man named Joe Miller, of whom
no trace could be found, compelled her,
at the point of a pistol, to put McVI
car's body Into the trunk.
July < has been selected as the day
for sentence and Mrs. Ledoux's attor
neys have given notice of appeal.

A reporter stopped long enough-in hla
