SHE PULLED THROUGH.
The Woman Took Variety {
Poisons.

The colored woman who was the cause
of so much calisthenic exercise and ap-
prehension to the police surgeon and
receiving hospital attendants Tuesday
night, by reason of her fondness for a
variety Of poisons, proves to be Ollie
Nowlin Of Also street. She has re-
covered from her illness sufficiently to
explain it's cause. She had been given
$40 by her lover to buy a dress, but she
had used most the money to drown her
sorrows in drink. When her lover
learned of this he reproached her not
kindly but severely. whereat Ollie re-
solved to do something desperate. She
forthwith procured quantity Of NOR
phine, and says she swallowed tea
spoonful Of It, Then, probably to take
the taste out of her mouth, she took a
teaspoonful of carbolic salve that was
intended for external use only.
1t was this combination Of doses that
put the colored woman in q condition
that first prompted her to whip the whole
police force and thenrto lie right down

The board of directors Of the chamber
of commerce met yesterday afternoon
at 3:15. There were present Directors
Cohn. Forman, Francis. Croft, Klokke,
]. R. Newberry, Patterson, Story and
Waters. President Patterson occupied
the chair.
Ex-Director Parsons was given audi
enoe in the matter of the proposed con-
solidation of the state mining bureau
with the university at Berkeley, against
which the chamber took action when the
plan was discussed, two years ago. The
following resolution of this topic was
offered and passed by unanimous vote:
Resolved, That in view of all that
has been accomplished by the state min
ing bureau in the past, the benefits
which have followed the examinations
and published reports of our
oil territory by Deputy w. L.
Watts. and the great good
the bureau is capable of in the future
as the only institution maintained in the
interests Of the miners in California, this
chamber is in full accord with all it's
work, and considers the proposed trans
fer to the state university at Berkeley
to be prejudicial to the best interests
of the mining industry in this state, and
requests continued support on the pres
ent basis.
Resolved, That copies of this resolu-
tion be sent at once to our state repre-
sentatives at Sacramento, with a re-
quest for immediate action.
A communication was received from
the Fiesta committee, asking the cham
Der to build float for the parade, and
was referred to the committee on ways
and means for consideration.
A communication was read from the
National Board of Trade asking the
chamber to favor the passage of the
Loud bill. now pending in congress, re-
lating to the subject of second class pos
tai matter. The measure, it Is claimed.
will so reduce the deficit Of the depart
ment as to render one cent postage
possible. The matter was referred to the
committee on law and legislation.
A communication was read from the
Portland chamber of commerce asking
the chamber to urge our senators to IA
vor the arbitration treaty between Eng
land and America, now pending. The
president and secretary was instructed
to telegraph to the California senators
that the chamber of commerce favored
the principle of international arbitra-
tion, and advocated the treaty, with
such amendment as, in the judgment of
the senate, might prove necessary.
The board, by resolution, declared
against the adoption of assembly bills
279 and 259 and senate bills SO and 26.
which call for state interference with
bakeries.
The board then, on motion, adjourned.

THE JUDGMENT AFFIRMED
By the Supreme Court in the Pasadena
Paving Case.

The opinion Of the supreme court in
the case of N. p. Perine Constructing
and Paving company, plaintiff and re-
spondent. VS.. the City Of Pasadena, de-
fendant and appellant, was received yes
terday.
The plaintiff submitted to the defend
ant a bid for the performance of cer-
tain street work, and with the bid depos-
tied its certified check In the sum Of
$4,000. Plaintiff was awarded the con-
tract, but becoming convinced that the
proceedings were Illegal, it refused to
proceed, declined to enter into the con-
tract and made demand for the return
Of its checks. Defendant refused to
comply with the demand, cashed the
checks, and retained the money, under
a claim of forfeiture. Action was in
stituted for it's recovery. From the judg-
ment rendered against 1t, and from the
order denying new trial the defendant
appealed.
THE court in it's finding specified GER
tain particulars in which the street law
had not been complied with, and con-
cluded therefrom that the proceedings
were invalid. These findings are at
tackled.
1T is not necessary to consider all or
many of the points raised. One Of the
nNulnSS lS uHQueStlOneQ, ana It's fact6
are decisive of the case.
"The specifications contain the follow
ing: But the contractor shall put in

A SURGEONS GRIEVANCE.
A Victim to Fake Advertising Who Will
Not Submit.

A very unusual and somewhat odd
suit has been instituted by Dr. Emil Ar
mold Praeger against Edward D. Nc
Clees.
DIR. Praeger is a well known surgeon,
and is a member Of the Los Angeles
Medical association, one Of whose rules
pledges each member to refrain from ad
vertising himself by any printed mat
ter as physician or surgeon. Such ac-
ton is regarded as unprofessional.
The plaintiff further alleges that he
was educated in Great Britain, and his
name is on the register of duly quail
fled surgeons Of Great Britain. The reg
lister Is under the control of a general
committee of medical education and
registration, having power to strike from
off the register the name of any surgeon
advertising his profession by any printed
matter.
In these premises Dr. Praeger feels
aggrieved because the defendant wants
to advertise him whether he will or no.
On January 18th the defendant, by his
agent, waited upon him and asked him
to advertise in a printed card or sheet.
The doctor peremptorily refused. On
February 1st the defendant informed
him that he had proceeded with the con-
tempfated scheme of advertising, and
had number of cards printed and ready
for circulation. Against this DR.. Praeger
protects. He urges that such action on
the part of the defendant will injure
him as a surgeon and as q man; 1t will
render him liable to charges by the
medical association of which he Is a
member, and also to have his name
stricken from the register of surgeons
Of Great Britain. Such damage he con-
siders as irreparable and for which no
pecuniary compensation could afford
adequate relief. He asks that the court
issue temporary restraining order,
pending trial of the action, and that the
injunction be made permanent, and for
800 DAMAGES.

OFFICERS of the Southern California Christian Endeavor Union some time ago sent carload of oranges to be sold at auction in New York, the proceeds to be applied to suffering Armenians. The oranges netted 1923. This money will be devoted to the support of all orphanage at Harport, Turkey. Of course, 1t is all very well to aid Armenians, but one cannot refrain from thinking that there are a great many people nearer home who know what the bitterness of cold and the gnawings of hunger are. Ninety per cent of the sO-called missionary contributions are valueless. The money could be far better spent. The glory of God and the pocket of the missionary are often held to be entire ly synonymous.-San Francisco Nea0S Letter.
 There is great deal of truth in the above and it is to be sincere ly regretted that our millions of poor and starving are not given the monies donated for charitable pur- poses instead of sending 1t to a foreign land.

Phoenix, March 18th: Governor Franklin said today that he had heard the bill taxing the bullion output of the mines had been killed through bribery. He also charges a member of the Pima legislative delegation with approaching one of the administration members with a proposition for the payment of $500, if the bill for the reinstate- ment of the salaries of county of ficials, a measure that would take thousands of dollars from county treasuries. The bill was passed over the governors veto, by a majority of one, (Cowan, member from Mohave County who moved the resolution of censure on the governor and who is a beneficiary under the bill, and the governor asserts that his veto stands, and that he will fight the appropria- tions in the courts on that basis.

THE Arizona Experiment Station is desirous of having tobacco grown during the present season in all parts of Arizona. All those who are willing to make some experi- ments in the growing of tobacco, who will send to the Experiment Station, Tucson, Arizona, for seeds or plants, will be supplied with the same gratis upon their agreeing to cultivate them and report the results. From experiments already made it was found that tobacco may be successfully grown in the Salt River and Santa Cruz valleys but the trials have not been sui fcient in number and have not extended over a sufficiently wide Territory to justify the statement that Arizona is a tobacco growing country, though results indicate that such is the case.

O8LIG tTIONS REPUDIATgy.

The actien of the house in elim- mating from the deficiency appro- priation bill small suhts justly due newspapers is worthy of a body that has shown itself insensible to every consideration of right. How ever, publishers had no reason to expect justice, as it has been the rule rather than the exception for the Territory to repudiate its obliga- tions to the newspapers. As an illustration we will cite section 2547 of!the revised statutes, which requires the Territorial librarian to keep com plete files of Territorial newspapers. It reads:
 "The said librarian shall also procure full copies of all newspa- pers heretofore or hereafter pub lished in this Territory, and cause the same to be bound in suitable volumes and deposit and keep the the same in the library. In like manner he shall procure at least one copy of all pamphlets, maga- zines and books published in the Territory for the use of the library" Although The Belt for ten years has been regularly mailed to the address of the librarian, not mis- sing number for that entire time, yet we have not received penny, and it is presumed that some of the other publishers were alike treated. Nor is that all; there are sums due zhe BcSt by the Territory for the publication of proclamations, not ices, etc., etc., and yet blatant members of the Nineteenth legisla- ture have raised the cry that news papers are robbing the Territory. That being the fact, we leave it to others to say why the diverting cry of stop thief, on a late occasion, resounded through the halls of legislation. Without further com ment we will refer to the golden rule followed by Celtic warriors which seems to have found lodg- ment in legislative bodies of the present day, which read as follows:
 ''The good old rule, the simple plan,
 That they do take who have the power and
 they do keep who can,"

UNDER the new law all cattle brands must be sent for record to the office of the live stock eommis- sioner at Phoenix. The reason for the enactment of such law is to avoid the registration of similar brands in different counties, which heretofore has led to much trouble and annoy ance among stockmen. At the end of three months the commissioner will send to the recorders of the several counties copy of the brands entered for registration. These will be placed on the county books and be made the official records.

IN 6 bulletin upon the sugar beet, now being prepared for distribution blythe Arizona Experiment Station, at Tucson, the director states, that one of the essentials to successful sugar beet culture is a thorough preparation of the soil. It should first be plowed to a depth of twelve or more inches and, if possible, sub-soiled to a depth of several inches more. This preliminary stirring of the soil is best done several months before the time of seeding. The soil should then be 4horoughly pulverized. If heavy rains have fallen in the mean time it should be replowed to a depth of about six inches. Just before planting the ground should be carefully narrowed until it is in fine tiltA,
