BARBER WITH SCISSORS
WORSTS HIS OPPONENT
w. w. Farris Severely Cut During an
Alteration in Central
Avenue Shop

HNCHhC SuOP
When a man attacks a barber who
is armed with pair of big shears the
fellow who starts the fun must either
be handy with his fists or else take
what is coming to him. At least, that
is the conclusion arrived at by w. w.
Farris, foreman for contractor Simp-
son Mcclure.
Farris was taken to the receiving
hospital last night with a cash in his
face about two inches long, and an
other in the back of his head plenty
big enough to hold a few stitches. He
says he received his wounds from "a
barber employed in a shop on Central
avenue.
The trouble started when Farris and
his wife went by the shop last night
and Mrs. Farris told her husband
that one of the BARRIERS had tried to
flirt with her. Farris went into the
shop intent on giving the scissors ma
nipulator the worst thrashing he had
ever heard about, but the barber it
is said, launched out with a pair of
shears and cut cash in the irate
husbands face.
When she saw the barber cut her
husband Mrs. Farris cried out to her
spouse and this so excited Farris that
he started to back away, pushing his
head through a mirror, which broke
and cut the scalp severely.
Farris was taken to the police sta
ton in the patrol wagon and the re-
eeciving hospital surgeons dressed his
wounds.

TO TURN LOOSE
TAX COLLECTORS
BEN WARD WARNS ALL OF HIS
FELL PURPOSE
Sixty StaIwart Minions Of the Asses
sor's Office viii Be Out Tomor-
row After Both the Just and
the Unjust

Ben. E. Ward, county assessor, is a
born humorist.
In a dignified screed issued yesterday
"to the taxpayers of Los Angeles
county" he softly announces "that to-
morrow is the first Monday in March"
Then as If apprehensive that the tax
payers might not appreciate the full
significance of the date. he continues:
at becomes my annual duty to turn
loose upon you for your favorable
consideration about sixty of the best
men 1 have been able to select"
By this gradual advertisement he
leads you gradually forward to his
fell purpose. "They will not be tag
ged," referring to the course of his
sixty deputies, "but they will have
with them all the evidences of their
official position in the nature of poll
tax and personal property books. field
books, ETC."
In an outburst of sudden passion he
exclaims: please treat them as men,"
Now wouldn't that jar you. Why, bless
his soul and also the soul>of the faith
full sixty, they will be treated" all
right or else they'll have to stand
treat.
"I ask your cooperation" continues
the assessor, "by giving them prompt
consideration. Time, money and mis-
takes can thus be saved. Poll tax is
payable on demand, whether you have
real estate or not. This year we have
an exemption of personal property tax
amounting to $100, but the personal
property is nevertheless subject to seiz-
ure for poll tax unless the same is paid
promptly"
Now, if you know what the p. P.
tax is. you are all right. If not, ask
any one of the sixty.
"The poll tax" continues the asses
sor, "goes to the school fund, and nei-
ther myself nor any deputies get one
cent additional for collecting the same.
So we don't collect because we love
to. It's a legal tax. The law says
we must collect 1t and we will do it,"
There you have the whole thing in
a nutshell. And now will you be
good and pay up?

II was advised to try Peruna, which
I did, when everything else failed.
1.-TWO bottles really made an entirely

health and strength.

Thursday that Payton Sweet. a colored pris-

for several days was given renewed i'm
petus for few hours yesterday. Tho
scare was transmitted to the health once
In telephone message from the Jail, which
told about two more prisoners having de-
veloped symptoms similar to smallpox.
Health Officer Woodward made a hurried
trip to the Jail, but his thermometer,
brought into immediate play upon the sus-
poets, showed no signs OF tho feverish con-
dillon which Invariably accompa mics the
early stages of smallpox. The two pris-
oners had been isolated Immediately upon

HAVANA TOBACCO.
Investigation Being Made Into It's
Classification.

Some tobacco papers and concerns have
called the attention of the Treasury Depart
mant to alleged fraudulent importations of
Cuban tobacco. and the department is said
to be making a thorough investigation. The
allegation is made that the government has
been swindled out of thousands of dollars
by the classification of Cuban leaf tobacco.
which pays a duty of thirty cents a pound
as filters and $1.S5 a pound as wrappers.
The difference is so great that there Is nat
urally a desire to get the tobacco classified
in the filler class. The present case con-
Germs a shipment of 1OS bales from Tampa
to New York house This tobacco. X is
claimed, was shipped from Havana to
Tampa a good while ago and remained
there some time. whereupon it was re
shipped to New York Suspicion has been
directed to the shipment because 1t was not
made direct from Havana to New York at
first instead of going TO Tampa and then
being reshipped. The view is that the CLASH
fication OF tobacco at Tampa may be more
liberal than in New York.
Treasury officials do not care to discuss
the matter at this time. and say they are
making the usual investigation.

A POST LAUNDRY.
Gen. Bell Defends Its Establish
ment

Vigorous protests have been made to the
War Department against the continued OPP
Grafton of the government laundry at Fort
Leavenworth. Kan, on the ground that
1t is a serious infringement on the rights
of private establishments. Gen. Bell, the
commandant of the post, has made report
In defense of his action in establishing the
post laundry lie points out the sanitary
reasons which were most prominent i'll his
original advocacy of the scheme and then
goes on to show that the soldiers and the
officers. including the families of the latter,
were entitled to the money-saVng method
of post laundry. He admits it might be
better to have no post laundries or other
features now in operation for the benefit
of the military personnel, but he reminds
his critics in Leavenworth that such indie
pendence cannot be eXacted until the gov
ernment/ pays the officers ana men OF the
army fnore liberal wage. AS the situation
stands now the soldier is obliged 10 pay
one-fourth of his monthly pay for laundry
work, unless he can have it done a post
laundry. Gen. Bell adds:
IF it be wrong for the government to
thus accommodate its soldiers, ii is wrong
to permit them to use public land on which
to cultivate gardens; to keep on the reser-
walton cows and pigs and other things
which assist in enabling them to live on
their own income; and to use public build
ings In which to establish post exchanges
whereby they can secure some personal
benefit from the profit made on their pur-
chases. Looked at from similar point OF
view, a government should cease to MAIN
tain a clothing depot, commissary and dis
pensary for furnishing clothing, food and
medical supplies to soldiers at cost On
the contrary, 1t should furnish them the
money equivalent of their needs in these
lines and require them TO supply them
selves in open market. 1t should not per-
NIT officers to purchase at cost supplies
from the quartermaster and commissary de-
partments, but should compel them TO pur-
chase in open market. It would be an idle
waste of time for me to attempt to argue
the question whether 1t might not be best
for the government to adopt such a change
of policy, but can safely assert that before
doing so justice and equity would both re-
quire that it increase the compensation of
its military servants"
