The TTHEY CAN'T ARREST ME Jack Kearns, the "discoverer" of Signor Fiermonte, who drowned his sorrows in drink, found that the Los Angeles policemen were not afraid to arrest him.

There are several other things that Mr. Kearns could learn with value to himself. One is that five or six trains are leaving for the East every day and he ought to be on one or more of them. We can get along from now on very nicely without him. And unless the State Boxing Commission investigates that Fiermonte fight, we can also get along with a new Boxing Commission.

This is revealed in a report made public yesterday. Of the 18,258 cases found ineligible for unemployment relief, 6002 cases were found to be entitled to welfare relief by the county and seventy-four were found to be transients entitled to aid from the Federal ish Welfare Organizations. The vote was taken following addresses by Couucilmen Davis and Tate and City Engineer Aidrich who declared that the filling up of the catch-basins with rubbish would be a danger to public health, especially in case of an early rain.

While the ordinance received a majority vote, the opposition of Councilmen Baumgartner and Tate in refusing unanimous consent for immediate adoption placed it over until next Tuesday for final action. SIGNS PROHIBITED The measure was presented by Councilman Ingram. It differs from other drafts in that it eliminates the provision of a Police Commission permit fee. It prohibits th serving of minors with beverages, prohibits liquor signs on banners or awnings and requires that windows and doors may not be covered four feet above the ground.

Councilman Hyde presented an amendment, which was adooted, providing that the Police Commis-slon revoke the dance permit for beer halls which break the law, no permit covering the premises to be issued for a year. MUST OBSERVE RULE Sale of liquor in. public eating places in the voting area will be illegal tomorrow, Michael Connolly, chief of the State liquor control office in this district, said yesterday, pointing out that steps will be taken to revoke the licenses of restauran.s, cafes, beer gardens or other publio places found to be selling liquor while the polls are open.

For the next ten years, the British will be wailing about our bad sportsmanship. The rules committee was literally within its rights in declining to receive Sopwith's belated protest; but it was small and petty stuff. Americans take an extremely technical view of sports; the English do not. Sopwith and Sir Thomas Lipton before him, were game spenders and sportsmen; they should have had the best of it. Meantime, I can't find out what happened.

Hauptmann makes the findings unanimous. So far as I can find in the records, not one important kidnaper has succeeded in getting away with it. Except for miraculous breaks of luck, kidnaping Is an impossible crime. Too many people are concerned In It; the crook can't snatch and flee; in the nature of the crime, he has to com" back to the victim for the payoff The penalty ought to be death. In this State it is only life imprisonment without hope of parole.

SOLUTION SEEN In spite of the present conditions and the apparently Increasing influx of transients into the State, the unemployment relief problem probably can be adequately handled next year, with Federal funds and the $24,000,000 which citizens of California are expected to vote in November, according to Mr.

Northrop. Criticism of the management of Federal relief funds was voiced by Gen. F. s. Strong, commissioner from San Diego, who said that there are too many bureaus and much unnecessary duplication of effort.
