NOBLE WOMAN Is
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Mrs. Elizabeth Schmetzstorff Passes
Away After an Illness of
Several Weeks

Following an illness of several weeks,
Mrs. Elizabeth Schmetzstorff, a prom
inent member of the Rebekah order
and one of the foremost charity and
church workers of Los Angeles, died
a: the family home on South Grand
avenue Tuesday afternoon.
The deceased for the past four years,
since her arrival in Los Angeles, had
been an able worker of the congrega-
ton of the Broadway Christian church
and a host of friends and relatives
mourn her loss.
A sad event connected with the
death of Mrs. Schmetzstorff was that
her eldest son, Rudolph, a well known
newspaper advertising man of the
southwest, was in Japan at the time of
her illness, and only reached Los Ange-
les several days before his mothers S
death.
Mrs. Schmetzstorff was born in Ger
many sixty years ago. At the age of
seven years she was brought to Amer
lea by her parents, and lived first in
st. Louis and later In Cairo, ILL.,, where
she was married to her husband July
10, 1870.
A long work of sacrifice in behalf
of her friends and children marked
the life of this good woman. Her hus-
band died nearly twenty years ago,
and since that time until her children
were grown the support of herself and
her little ones was braVely borne by
her.
A brother, Valentine Resch of Cairo,
her children. Mrs. d. c. McLarty, Ru-
dolph F. Schmetzstorff of the Edward
Silent company of Los Angeles, Elsie
Marie. Harry L. and Benz. F., sur
vive her.
The funeral will be held from the
Broadway Christian church this af-
ternoon at o'clock, Rev. Coulter Of
ficiating. Interment will be in Rose
dale cemetery.

Have You Tire Troubles?

'I had a recent experience with auto
mobile tires that would make interest
ing reading for any automobile owner,
said a Wall street man the other day.
my car was equipped with a certain
make of tire that proved to be about as
unsatisfactory as you could ever I'M
agine. 1 had so many accidents to
absolutely new tires that after I could
get no satisfaction from the tire man
ufacturer I called in an expert. He
told me that the rubber was absolutely
defective and the tires should never
have been sold. The manufacturers
laughed at me when demanded salts
faction. Then 1 decided to sue them,
and went about getting evidence in
new way. I wanted to know If there
were other persons who had been
through this same experience as myself
and L applied to my clipping bureau"
Strange place to get evidence" said
the listener.
you think so? That's because you
don't know the real uses of such a
bureau. The Burrelle press clipping
bureau is not only the best known in
New York but the largest in the world.
They read all papers published. I told
them to send me all items In which
anybody who had tire troubles was
mentioned. The result was that I got
accounts in papers all over the country
about the troubles of others. Finally
1 got exactly what 1 wanted. 1 found
a detailed story of lawsuit in which
a man had been through exactly the
same experience as 1 had been with
tires of the especial make that I used.
l found that he sued the manufacturers
and 1 found that he won his suit. That
was enough for me. l submitted my
case to my lawyer. That's a use for a
press clipping bureau that you doubt
less never thought Of If you have any
troubles I advise you to ask Burrelle.
He will help you out"

TIE TRIAL,

The Flute murder case was set for
Thursday afternoon. a good share of
the early part of the afternoon was
taken up with another case: about 3
O'Clock tue prisoner was brought in
and arralgned. The defense requested
that an interpreter be appointed by
the court Ia order that their client
might fluffy un,,c ssy ;lnd tie Impotoof
the information and questions asked
and the court appointed Harry $.
Morn. who read the information in
both charges to Flute in Sioux.
Sears s. Potter, Flutes attorneys
then asked until o o'clock Friday in
which to plead and the court granted
this Flute. with the characteristic
of hi appeared stoicsl ann un
mov,u ".O his long confinement is
telling Oh him,
AT nine o'clock this morning, the
prisoner was arraigned. The defense
demurred to the indictment, which
was oyerruled and an exception
taken. A plea Of NOT guilty was en-
tered.
The attorneys for the defense then
sprung surprise by fling an affidavit
challenging the entire jury that had
been summoned to serve at this term
Of court, On the grounds shown by af-
tidavlts, that in the drawing " the
jury all the Indian citizens of the
county were excluded from the list of
persons eligible for jury duty in a
comfy where, out Of about 5000 vot-
ers there are about 400 Indian voters
and the defense n a lengthy argu-.
ment asked that the jury be quashed.
The affidavit set forth that there is
a precedent for such challenge es-
tablished by the Supreme Court of
the United States and which is re-
ported in VOL III of the reports of
that court, in which it was held in a
case that went up from one OF the
southern states, that when negro
was on trial for Il CRIME committed
and il was shown that all negroes
had been excluded in the drawing of
the jury, solely on account of their
color, that a inry SO drawn was not
fair and impartial jury within the
meaning of the state and federal
courts. Motion granted and jury
quashed aud case continued over
until next term of court.
This is the first time that this
question has been raised in the trial
OF criminal case IN this state and
the point is regarded as being very
important and the decision of the
courts OF the state upon the question
will not only be regarded with a
great deal of interest by the lawyers
and judges. but 1T may also result in
Some radical legislation being at
| tempted as there are a great many
counties in the state that have a
considerable Indian population who
are citizens by reason OF their hold
ing allotments Of land in severalty.
