The body was removed to Orr & Birds
undertaking rooms, whore an autopsy

A SISTERS SHAME.

Emile Radsnbaoh Said to Have Caus Q d
Hts Sistsr's immortality.
A most deplorable instance of total
depravity came to light yesterday when
Emile Radenbach was arraignsd in the
police court on a charge OF vasrancy.
Radenbach must certainly be low
being If the statements of his sister, who
is leading life of shame on Alameda
street, are to be believed.
She says that her brother had her
come to this country from her homo in
Belgium for that purpose. As Raden.
bach is frequenter of vile resorts, the
officers concluded to punish him in some
manner for his iEhuman treatment to-
ward his sister.
He was released upon $50 cssh bail to
appear for trial today.

recommending that demands to the

authorized to at once purchase books

II was suggested that the board CO.

the late P. ]. Flynn, the same TO be-
come part OF the public library, whore
the collection may be properly cared
for. catalogued, and kept in manner to
make it easily accessible for specialists.
The librarian then presented special
report covering the work Of the first half
OF the library year, viz, to juno Let, In
which she says: "The number of per
soma using library cards in Los Angeles
today shows higher ratio to the popu-
lation than any other city in this coun-
try. These card holders have taken
155, 730 books home to read. while in the
reading room $3.50 books have been
used. The reference department has
been used by $500 persons for study
purposes. The rigid economy that has
been necessary in order to pay debts of
last year has had perceptible effect
upon the usefulness of the library. Re-
quests for books have become so urgent
on the part of the public that | would
respectfully suggest that several orders
for books be made up from the lists Of
books Submitted by the library patrons
to be purchased"
1.-THE fiscal year of the library ends
the 3lst Of July. The policy OF cutting
down the appropriation OF the library
below the limit, which 10 but cents on
every 500. seriously impairs its useful
ness. and I would suggest that the
Is sos patrons OF the library be in
formed by means of circulars or bulle-
tins that the nine members OF the city
council have the power to make or to
unmake the library by the control of its
appropriation, and that the 1905 pa
irons be asked to take steps to present
the needs of the institution to the hon.
orable council"
The report was received and the board
adjourned.

EXAMINED FOR INSANITY.

The EccentricIties of Charles Lapham
the Subject of Judicial Inquiry.
Charles X. Lapham, and timer and
plumber. had a partial examination
yesterday afternoon before Judge Smith
upon charge of insanity. The young
man has been exhibiting eccentricities
during the past six months which have
alarmed his wife and relatives, owing to
the fact that insanity has afflicted
several members of his family. He was
treated about nine years ago for the
same symptoms at Stockton, and has
been well until recently. He talked in
an excited but rational manner. His
cratic ideas have taken the line of the
employment of men for work he did not
have to giva, of mortgaging his prop
erty. and general responsibility, al
though there have been no suicidal or
homicidal predictions. The hearing
was continued until this morning to OBJ
tain additional testimony.

What Causes Pimples !?

Clogging of the pores or mouths of the seba-
ceous glands with sebum or oily matter.
The plug of sebum in the centre of the pimple
is called blackhead, grub or comedone.
Nature will not allow the clogging Of the pores
to continue long, hence,
Inflammation, pain, swelling and redness,
later pus or matter forms, breaks or is opened,
the plug comes out and the pore is once more
free.
There are thousands of these pores in the face
alone, any one of which is liable to become
clogged by neglect or disease.

MR.. JONES CANT TELL.

Morrill, Brothers Sending Out the Penalty
Postal Card Puzzles Him Severely.
First Assistant Postmaster General Frank
H. Jones yesterday received no response to
his inquiry OF Messrs. Morrill, Brothers. of
Fulton. \. Y, as to their use OF a penalty
postal card, as told in The TINES yesterday
Messrs. Morrill, Brothers have for some
months past been sending out notices to rail-
way postal clerks. with the information that
the firm were the government contractors
and would furnish printed slips at "a cents
per thousand. Upon an investigation Mr..
Jones could find no authority for tho use OF
his name. He could not recall having signed
any paper for that purpose.
'If the firm had asked me to send out these
cards l should have done so. said Mr.. Jones,
in conversation with TIMES reporter.
But they did not do that2" suggested the
reporter
mo; that is true" said Mr.. Jones, slowly.
He then went on to state that there was
postal printing appropriation Of 100000
"Well," asked the reporter, why should
postal clerks be required to pay "a cents per
thousand for slips?"
Mr.. Jones shook his head.
81 do not know. he said.
In fact, Mr.. Jones terminated the interview
by stating he could tell nothing about the
matter until he had received response from
the firm. He has forwarded communication
to the firm, calling attention to the lapse and
warning it to discontinue using the penalty
card.

James II. Wanzer. colored, is prisoner at
the Emergency Hospital suffering from the
effects Of getting load Of buckshot in the
back OF the head. and William Carroll. a
farmer living near Ivy City, is on bail to
answer charge OF shooting Wanzer. But
there Is a wide difference in the statements
OF Mr. Carroll and NanZer as 10 the cause of
the latter getting shot.
In a statement made yesterday at the
Ninth precinct station 10 Lieut.. Heffer. Mr..
Carroll. who is quite a chicken fancier and
usually keeps a great many fowls on hand
said that for some days past Wanzer. together
with Robert Nichols and Felix Day. both also
coiored and under arrest, have daily visited
his farm and robbed him of some Of his chick
ems. Their favOrite manner of procedure was
to chase number Of the chickens out into
one Of Mr.. Carroll fields and run tho chick
ems down and then knock their heads of with
a stick of wood or cane
This sort OF thing was kept up until it be-
came monOtOnOus, and ne determined TO put
a stop 10 the practice. SO yesterday morning
he hid himself behind a shed on his premises
Presently along came Wanzer, Nichols, and
Day, and Mr.. Carroll blazed away and Wan
ger fell TO the ground with the load Of shot in
his head. The others were unhurt and ran
Of as fast as they could. but were arrested
later and locked up. Wanzer was picked up
and sent to the Emergency Hospital, where
his injuries were dressed
Nanzer's account OF the shooting was as
follows; Il and Nichols and Day were walk
ing along the road looking at the horses which
are now at Ivy City, when. without a word,
that farmer shot me in the head. l never
stole any Of his chickens"
Wanzer's wounds are painful, but not nee

the expediency of applying at this time the
sum of $500 600 from the general revenues TO
the payment OF the principal of the debt in

triUt appropriation act, approved August Z.

to the water fund debt, and it appearing
from a statement by Comptroller Bowler that
$500, 900 and more of the fund remained on
