Licenses Are Ordered

Doors of Drinking Places Must

By Prlrste Vetted Wire.
San Francisco. Juno !(.—The board
of supervisors ha? passed to print a
new liquor license law for this city, to
take effect on the reopening of the sa
loons on July 5.
The Jioiv ordinance which, It is gen
erally believed, will be Anally passed
raising « the li
cense fee from $84 to 1500 per annum,
and the abolishment of the saloons
run ln r connection with corner groce
ries. Until further action by the su
pervisors, saloons will be compelled to
close between 8 p. m. and • a. m. The
new ordinance also provides that there
shall be no saloons within 160 feet of
any church or school, and that licenses
will bo Issued only to cttlsens or those
Intending to become citizens. 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'supervlsors
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
talked-of plan will allow one saloon for
each 500 population, which would mean
even with a-population of 400.000 only
8W saloons. •« ■
The combined liquor Interests made
n light before 'the supervisors, but their
arguments went for naugth, aa It Is ad
mitted on all sides that the ordinance
w ill go Into effect practically as passed
to print.
WOMAN SMOTHERS
MAN IN A TRUNK
of
Tries to Get Rid
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 Arst woman In
California found guilty of murder In
the Arst degree without a recommends
tlon for mercy upon the part of the
Jury.
The body of McVIcar, a man weigh
Ing 180 pounds, waa found packed'lnto
a trunk at the Southern PadAc depot
baggage room on the evening of March
26, .dhls' year. A quick Investigation
threw suspicion upon Mrs. Ledoux, who
had been traveling as McVIcar’s wife,
and within seventy-two hours she was
under arrest at Antlbch, not many
miles from the scene of the crime.
Evidence was brought showing that
•he had married McVIcar while her
Arst husband, Ledoux, waa living. The
strongest circumstantial evidence
pointed to the fact that the woman had
drugged McVIcar and * before he was
desd, had packed his body Into ths
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 last.
When arrested she told contradic
tory stories, never denying knowledge
of McVIcar - * death. Her defense wps
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 plate), to put McVI
car's body Into the trunk.
July t has been selected as the day
for sentence and Mrs. Ledoux’s attor
neys have given notice of appeal.
