Trade Makes Move to
Expand.


L. NJ. Fletcher, who has been promi-
nent in local railroad circles for some
time, has been appointed secretary of
the California State Board of Trade.
He began. his duties yesterday. His

ues with the board as assistant secre-
tary. There is large amount of work

ate future.

resources and advantages of Califor-
MIA are TO be prepared to supplement

made to increase the membership of
the organization. The aim is to have
every section in the State interested

building of the State in all ways.

Testimony in His Own Behalf

Explains Preparation to Take
His Own Life, but Denies He
Desired to Murder Sweetheart

Yesterday Edmond de Labrousse, the
slayer of Miss Marie Jordan, testified
in his own behalf in Superior Judge
Dunne's court. He was in no way dis
concerted and with the exception of
giving his evidence in a voice scarcely
audible during the first part of the ex-
animation his answers to the questions
Of his counsel. Attorney Roche, were
rational and consistent with the evil
dence already given by numerous wit
pesses.
De LabrOusse was sworn and in reply
TO Attorney Roche he detailed the cir
cumstance of his meeting Miss Marie
Jordan when he was engaged in the
glove department Of the City of Paris
He told of his request that she DE
transferred from the ribbon department
10 the glove section, giving as his rea-
son that he desired that she should be
near him and that there was more
money in ii for her. as she would re-
ceiVe both salary and a commission.
He related how their friendship grew
/ into an attachment for each other and
continued his evidence by saying:

that We should come together and we

MEAT NOT UP TO sTANDARD.

The meat contractor sent out COW meat in
stead of steer meat called for in the con-
tract, and upon the superintendent refusing to
accept the same the contractors representative
came cut and before witnesses said that he
had an understanding with DIR. d'Ancona that
the meat Of the Almshouse did not need to
come UP TO the standard OF the meat furnished
the City and County Hospital. The new su-
perIntendent has nevertheless refused TO ac-
cept any but steer meat. 1t can easily be
seen that the city was paying for steer meat,
but was getting meat without any objec-
ion from the administration of the Almshouse.
The amount of money thereby saved to the
contractor can hardly be estimated or traced.
On June Is, 1908, six milch cows were
bought at s5S. Only a glance at the animals
Will tell any one that the city paid dearly for
them. In June. also, a buggy horse was
