By Private Leased Wire.
San .Francisco, June if.—The board
of supervisors has passed to 'print a
new liquor license law for this city, to
take effect on the reopening of the sa
loons on July. 6. .
The new ordinance, which, It is gen
erally, Jwll.eyed, will be finally passed
and sighed' -by life mayor, has for Its
principal features the raising of the li
cense fee from $84 to <500 per annum,
and iheiabolishment of the .saloons
run In connection with corner groce
ries. Until further action by the su
pervlsors, saloons will be compelled to
close between 8 p. m. and 6 a. m. The
new ordinance also provides that there
shall be no saloons within 150 feet of
any church or school, and that licenses
will be Issued only to cltlsens or those
Intending 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 were 3,600 licensed
drinking places In the city, and the
tnlked-of plan will allow one saloon: for
each 500 population, which would mean
even with a population, of 400,000 only
800-saloons.- .
The combined liquor Interests made
a fight before the supervisors, but their
arguments went for naugth, as It Is ad
mitted on all sides that the ordinance
will go Into effect practically as passed
to print.
Sentence Is to Be Passed July 9
Her Lawyer Promises to
Make Appeal.
By Private t.eased Wire.
Stockton, Cal. June 28 Mrs. Emma
Ledoux, convicted Saturday of the
murder of Albert N. McVIcar. haa 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
lng ISO pounds, was found packed Into
a trunk at the Southern Pacific depot
baggafid.foom on the evening of March
26, this year. A quick Investigation
threw suspicion upon Mrs. Ledoux, who
had been traveling as McVIcar’s wife,
and within seventy-two hours she wga
under arrest at Antioch, not man^
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 to the fact that the woman had
drugged McVIcsr and before he was
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 face of the
strongest kind of evidence, maintained
her Innocence to the laat.
When arrested she told contradic
tory stories, never denying knowledge
of McVlcar’a 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 9 has been selected as the day
for sentence and Mrs. Ledoux's attor
neys have given notice of appeal.
AUTHOR OF “23" IS FINED
$23 AND TOLD TO “SKIDOO"
By Private Leased Wire.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 26.—The orig
inator, author or Inventor of "28'' waa
In police court yesterday on the charge
of drurtketjnepa.,:
He tidd such:* plausible story,, howr
ever, that Judge Wheelan allowed him
to "skldoo," but not until he had
passed a typical sentence—823 fine and
three .times 23 days In the work house.
The Judge suspended the sentence.
This Is the story the fellow, who
gave the name of Patsy Morrison, a
Jockey at the Shecpshead Bay race
track, told:
“There Is room for Just twenty-two
horses on the .Sheepahead Bay track.
When one more Is entered It has to
S o behind all the others and gets a
andlcap that way. They generally
figure to put the horse behind that has
not any chance anyway. I started
things by yelling ‘23 for you,’ '21 for
you' every time an old skin and bonea
got on the track. The other Jockeys
took It up nnd It was not long till
everybody was on.”
And Patsy's name waa the twenty-
third on the docket, too.
