DEATH FROM STARVATION
But the Condition Resulted From an
Uncommon Malady

The following is "A copy of death GER
health Tuesday:
Cassigree-At 142 Mesnager street, Octo-
ber 26th, Leona Cassigree, a native of
France; starvation; aged AZ years
The reading of the certificate without
a knowledge of the facts would fill char
itably inclined people with Q thrill of
horror to think that anyone should die
of starvation in Los Angeles. Investi-
cation proved that Mrs. Cassigree actu-
ally did die of starvation, but the
starvation was due not to her inability
to get food but by structure of the
throat which made it impossible to take
nourishment. The malady is an un-
common one.
Mrs. Cassigree was for several months
an inmate of the county hospital. While
she lay there last August her husband,
John Cassigree became temporarily in
sane from grief and wandered away to
the hills. He met some hunters and
begged them to shoot him. When they
refused he slashed at his throat with
a big knife, then severed the arteries of
his wrists and staggered away. Two
days later he was found lying in some
bushes almost dead from loss of blood.
He, too, was taken to the hospital,
where he recovered his health and right
mind. He is now employed in q tan

and there had been several deaths The
place is on the west coast of Mexico
about 450 miles south of this city, and
while there is little if any danger of
its spread in this direction, DR.. Powers
has notified the state authorities of his
information. 1t is probable that a close
watch will be kept in the direction of
the international boundary to prevent
defugees from infected Mexican points
from coming into the American cities

CITRIC ACID FACTORY
New Enterprise Soon to Be Started at
North 0ntario

Charles Field, jr., and Charles Field.
third. are in the city on their way through
to North Ontario from Philadelphia
Both are directors of the Marshall Field
company of North Ontario, which was
Incorporated few months ago. When
seen last night at the Van Nuys hotel,
Mr.. Charles Field jr., was quite enthu-
siastic about the project which they
have in hand, and expressed himself as
being quite delighted with the prospects
for the success of the enterprise.
I'VE have put up large building,
right along the Santa Fes tracks al
North Ontario" said Mr.. Field, "and
quite a good deal of the machinery is
in. What are we going to do? Why,
manufacture citric acid from the snr-
plus crop of lemons, which otherwise
would go to waste. I have just come
down from San Francisco, where we
have been investigating the machinery
which we shall want to put in at our
works, but which, unfortunately, we
shall have to buy in the east. This con-
Germ will be the only manufacturers of
citric acid on the continent the supply
now coming from Sicily in barrels, in
liquid state, and crystallized by the
eastern firms. We can get good price
for our product and have everything in
our favor. We shall start up just as
soop as we can purchase the necessary
machinery, and for that reason we shall
probably leave for the east again in
few days. AS a new industry, it will
be regarded with interest by the east
ern USERS and as the sole manufacturers
we expect to make profitable thing of
It,"

POLICE REvOLvERS
Commissioners to Consider Uniform
Style of Weapon

An effort is being made by the board
of police commissioners to secure the
arming of members of the police force
with revolvers of uniform make and
caliber. If the present plans are car
ried out, each policeman will be equip
ped with pistol of some standard make
and known merit, and will be
required to keep it in condition
for use at all times. The mat
ter has been suggested by Commits
sioner Preuss and the other members
are in favor Of the plan he proposes. Mr..
Preuss suggests that the city purchase a
sufficient number of pistols of the same
size to supply the department. These
will be distributed among the members
of the police force each Of whom will be
required to make deposit of an amount
equal to the cost of the pistol, and if he
loses his weapon or breaks it, the amount
is to be used in the purchase of new
one, and an additional deposit will be re-
quired. The weapons are to be in
spected regularly, and system of penal
ties for not keeping them in proper condi-
ton will be arranged and enforced.
This plan has been tried with success
in some of the larger cities of the coun-
try, and the effort to establish it here is
result of the inspection of the revolvers
which the policemen have been carrying,
which the commissioners made last
week. They found that some of the Of
ficers were armed with revolvers which
could not be relied upon to shoot across
street, while others were carrying
gums" which would shoot almost to the
next county, or which might be used in
coast defense. There was no uniform
ity in the weapons, and it was pointed
out at the time that if two officers
had occasion to empty their weapons.
and one had no additional cartridges,
the other could not help him, as he was
almost certain to have a weapon Of diff
ferent size. Commissioner Preuss has
asked the several arms companies of the
city to submit samples of revolvers to
the board, and he has also taken the
pains to write to other cities for informa-
ton on the subject 1t is now almost
certain that the proposed pistol range
will be established at the police station,
and if the plan to have uniform weapons
is adopted, the members of the depart
ment will be on an equal footing in the
craftsmanship contests which will be
provided for at that place.

SCHOOL NOTES
Items of Interest to Pedagogues,
Parents and Pupils

IVA S~As esA1N - SPAS
The high school library is lamentably
inadequate, containing less than 1000
volumes. This figure includes the text
books of the teachers, the dictionaries
and the encyclopedias. An effort is
being made to secure an unabridged
dictionary for each class.
The lack of necessary reference books,
obliges the students to resort to the pub
lie library when preparing their lessons.
The teachers bring books from their
own libraries for class use, and last
year one teacher took 54 volumes to and
from her home and her classes.
The cry for library fund some time
ago resulted in an estimate which was
cut down over half. and then some of
the books desired were purchased. But
as they were placed in the public Ii
brary, matters were not much improved.
One of the study rooms is also designat-
ed as library, and any reference work
during school hours causes too much
confusion for the books to be very gen.
orally used.
There is no provision for a special IL
brary fund, and until there is the pres
ent state of affairs will continue to be
the cause of merely textbook work
which lacks the completeness that
comes with the more general knowledge
from the best literary source.
The high school has had some new
rooms fitted up for science work, and now
boasts as fine laboratories as any high
school in the state.
The four-room annex is proving un-
satisfactory for class work. as these
rooms are rendered cold and dark by
the shade cast by the main building all
the forenoon.
The parents of the students in this
building protest against it's use for
study purposes, and request that bet
ter accommodations be furnished.
The Star and Crescent society meets
next Friday for the installation Of Off
GERS.
The Los Angeles School of Art and
Design has registered over forty pu-
pills this term. It's branch at Pomona
numbers seventy students and the
branch at Pasadena fourteen.

LOS ANGELES.-A third production
of Puccinis delightful opera, La Bo-
heme," was given last night and it again
met with the warm appreciation that it
so richly deserves. The acting was
artistic and sincere and the singing very
precious. One can only reiterate the pre-
diction that La Boheme" will take a
prominent place in the affections OF
music-lovers. wherever it is heard. The
third act is as tender an expression of
human love and sorrow as has ever been
construed by a composer, and the ex-
treme tension is relieved just at the right
moment by lighter vein, finishing with
the double duo that again last night
ELECTED a burst of enthusiasm from the
audience.
Tonight the bill is Donizetti's Lucia

miliar favorite for more than half CEN
tury. The cast will be as follows:
