» STRINGENT LAWS I IN SAN FRANCISCO Licenses Are Ordered Raised From $84 to $500. ONLY ABOUT 800 BARS TO BE GIVEN PERMITS. WOMAN SMOTHERS MAN IN A TRUNK Tries to Get Rid Body—Found Guilty of Murder. SAYS SHE WAS FORCED TO KILL COMPANION, Doors of Drinking Places Must Clos at 8 P .M.—No Mention - of Sunday Closing. 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.
