was a gray African, and when he
said his "Your food will cost you
more" after five minutes profound
fiscal reflection, his judgment great
ly impressed both his feathered and
his unfeathered auditors, except
one hen parrot, which angrily
shouted back; YOU'RE liar r

leaf from the scientist, and in addi-

Sir Francis Cation, and has been
practiced of late for the detection
Of criminals.

drews, who confessed to setting fire
to the Casa Palma rooming house and
tried to implicate its proprietress, Mrs.
Grace Getz, in the affair, confessed
after the woman's release that she was
innocent. He gave as the reason for
his charge the statement that she was
aiding officers who were trying to con-
meet Andrews with the recent postoffice
robbery here. Andrews intimated that
he set fire to the house to destroy dam
aging evidence against himself. The
officers are inclined to discredit the
mans intimation that he was con-
cerned in the postoffice affair, and think
he is trying to secure some cheap no
toriety.
Deputy Marshal AL Stevens filed his
resignation with City Clerk Hargis.
Stevens says the pay, $50 month, is
too small, and he has had several more
advantageous offers.

SAN PEDRO BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST LONG BEACH
Seeks to Restrain 1t From Holding an

Annexation
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, Aug. To-day City
Attorney Karr of San Pedro filed a suit
against the city of Long Beach in the
superior court of Los Angeles county.
The suit is brought by James Weir,
president of the board of trustees of
the city of San Pedro, against the
mayor and councilmen of the city of
Long Beach, and asks for writ of
prohibition to restrain the city of
Long Beach from holding an election
August 16 for the purpose of voting on
the question of the annexation to
Long Beach of the territory which is
included in a petition to the trustees
of San Pedro, asking for the calling of
an election to annex the same to San
Pedro.
The grounds on which the suit Is
brought are that San Pedro began its
work on the petition for the annexa-
tion of this territory before Long
Beach did, and that the calling of the
election by the Long Beach authori-
ties at a time when the San Pedro
election is called is an illegal act on the
part of the Long Beach authorities.

New Fashion In Divorce.

Ordinary divorce is not sufficiently
sensational to be the fashionable
vogue. For a while divorced couples
followed the fashion of immediate re-
turn into new matrimonial partner
ships, but the latest divorce fad is for
the man and woman to marry over
again." This is novelty which will
doubtless find imitators among the
newly rich. In the last case of this
kind the woman made proper terms
with her husband in requiring him to
pay $4,000 to the man who in east
side parlance would be called her s'gen-
tleman friend" This man and his
wife were divorced, and he preferred
marrying another previously married
woman rather than the one who al
