at the Lagoon
Resort
By Associated Press.


SALT LAKE. Utah, June 19.-The
recent sojourn of Pugilist Robert Fitz-
simmons at the Lagoon resort, where
Fitzsimmons was in training for fight
with Mike Schreck, has led to a dam
age suit against the Salt Lake and
Ogden Railroad company, which owns
the resort. and the manager of the
place. The big lion, which was con-
spicuous as a part of the pugilist's
outfit, severely bit and scratched a
small boy at the Lagoon. and the par
ents, in demanding heavy damages
allege that the management was
grossly careless in permitting the beast
to be at large on the grounds unmuzzled
and unrestrained.

CHICAGO. June 19,-The Civic
Federation of Chicago today adopted a
special report made by the executive
committee advising against municipal
ownership. The report adopted COM
mits the organization against either
operation or ownership of public util-

being that the city's operation of Chi

that the city could operate successfully

the first installment he instituted di-

The first intimation that Thaisz had
of his wife being in this part of the
country was on Sunday, June IL, on
which date he opened the store in Pas

Upon being Informed that he was
present she asked to see him. Thaisz
met her near the soda fountain and
they engaged in conversation for some

to Los Angeles. Mr.. Johnson Is sure

Upon one occasion, it is stated, Thaisz

went through with that long ago."
Mr.. Johnson says Thaisz was prince
of good fellows and that his relatives
are highly respected people in New

GLENDALE TRAGEDY
REMAINS MYSTERY
NO DEVELOPMENTS IN THAlSZ
CASE
INQUEST TO BE HELD TODAY
indications Support the Theory That
Husband, Goaded by Despera-
tion, Killed Wife and Com
mitted Suicide
INQUEST TO BE HELD TODAY

There were no developments yester-
day in the Thaisz murder and suicide,
which occurred near Glendale Sunday
night, but the general opinion is now
inclined to the belief that Thaisz be-
came desperate because of the de-
mands of his wife for money and
probably other considerations for i'm
munity from her. and, goaded by this
desperation, killed her, and upon re-
alizing what he had done, turned the
revolver upon himself and ended his
own existence.
Inquest Today
The bodies are at Bresees morgue
o'clock this morning. Whether the Of
fetal inquiry will reveal facts sufficient
to clear up the tragedy is not known,
although no evidence has appeared
thus far to shed any light upon it. All
expressions as to who fired the revolver
are mere theories, nothing more.
Thaisz was a member of the Elks
lodge at Redlands and leaves brother
in New York, who is said to be en-
ployed as chauffeur for j. Pierpont
Morgan. The brother has been notified
of the double tragedy, but as yet has
wired no advice as to the disposition of
the bodies.
A letter dated June and written by
his wife in New York, was found on
Thaisz' body In it she reproached him
severely for the many unkind things
he had done since their marriage, and
fered her $1,000 if she would grant him
a divorce.
She declared that $1,000 was too small
a sum, considering that she was in
poor health and did not want to re-
marry Mrs Thaisz further called her
husband liar and told him that he
had never treated her squarely since
their marriage.
Friend Talks
According to j. II. Johnson of the
North Pasadena drug store, who was
ar intimate friend of c. e. Thasz, the
woman was to blame for the double
tragedy and it was for the purpose of
eXtorting money from her husband
that she came here.
Mr.. Johnson knew the Thaiszes in
New York and was also employed at
the Sun drug store with Thaisz for
several months. Mr.. Johnson furnishes
the information that prior to a year
ago Thaisz owned a drug store in
Queensbury, n. Y, and prospered.
Mrs. Thaisz yearned for faster life,
however, and as her husband kept
close to his store she went out among
evil associates and soon disgraced her
household. The husband put up with
her conduct for several months, and as
she would not reform he left her, first
disposing of his business before COM

We hear cheerful news nearly
every day for Mrs. Lottie Cramer
as candidate for superintendent.
Mrs. Cramer was in this county
years ago when there wasn't very
many children and but two schools
established in the whole county.
She has stayed here and taken an
interest in the schools and has
been an active worker at all times
for the upbuilding Of Cherry
county schools. She has earned
place in the hearts of the people
for her earnestness in educational
work and can do more good in our
country schools the next two years
than anybody. We hope the peo-
pie will look upon the right side
of this question and vote for the
one who can and will do the work
to earn the county superintendent
salary.

Vote for the Best Men.

A republican remarked the 9th
er day that if the democrats had a
majority in the county they would
not be so careful in the selection of
their candidates. This is just the
point we have been endeayoring to
make. Year after year we have
urged the voter to exercise an in
dependent will, to break away from
party moorings and to vote for the
most deserving man. 1t is mat
ter of common knowledge that
majorities beget arrogance. When
party has sure majority and
nomination. means election politi-
cal barnacles are sure to fasten
themselves upon the party. They
realize that their fitness for the
place will not serve to carry them
to victory but they count on party
fealty. If they succeed in winning
the favor of the local ring, they
care nothing for the people in
general. The rank and file of the
party may object to them, may
even say that they are not the
people to be entrusted with public
Office, but along comes the boss
and whips them into line, or If
they will not respond at the crack
of his whip, he sends his lieuten-
ants, as the police put it, his plain
clothes men," and they say, "Oh
yes, his nomination was mistake.

one else, but you know we cannot

The old story is again being
resurrected that Judge Towne had
said that he didn't want or didn't
care for republican votes. 1t is
being circulated for the purpose
of deceiving the people, as no one

say this and Judge Towne en-
phaticalIy denies ever saying SO.
Republicans and democrats alike
are united in the support of Judge
Towne for reelection, and fake

up once more with promise that

The voter has discovered that just
as long as he responds to the party
lash just that long will the party
machine run things to suit itself;
that if he is to receive recognition
