Of Clubs Opens With Excellent
Business

The Federation Coffee club is now

o. d. Conrey, the superintendent, was
in very happy state of mind yester-
day: I'VE started In here yesterday
all fitted up for business and served
about $40 meals. There will be a large
increase from that as we become bet
ter known in our new quarters. This
will be a place that will attract the pa
tronage of the best class Everything,
as you see, is spotlessly clean and the
orders are served promptly. The food
is the best obtainable and the coffee Is
a biei feature.
The kitchen is one Of the best fitted
up In Los Angeles. The dishes are all
thoroughly sterilized every time they
are used before being again placed
upon the tables. No food Is placed on
the tables the second time in dis
guised form.
Our coffee clubs, No. and No. 2, at
1873 East Second street and 112 Court
street respectively, are serving good
purposes in the locations. About 1900
meals are served daily at these places
"But the necessity was felt to raise
about $4,000 for this Federation Coffee
club In this desirable section to cater
to the more Well-to-do classes and to
provide an agreeable place for them TO
come to read and rest during their
spare time.
"The $4,000 has been raised, but we
are. In need of $1,000 more to mt up a
ventilating plant and for other incl
dental expenses"

FORD RECALL PETITION
FALLS SHORT OF MARK
CITY CLERK MAKES REPORT ON
SIGNATURES,
Backers of Movement Must Get More
Names and Present Complete List
Within Five Days or Efforts Are
Useless

Unless the Public Ownership league
takes up the Ford recall with great
vigor and makes a strong effort to get
a sufficient number of real names to
fill their shattered list and bring the
total number of signatures back to 55S
there will be no special election in the
First ward.
City Clerk Lelande finished his ex-
animation of the petitions last night
and announced that out of the $50
names turned in there We're 487 good
signatures, sixty-eight rejected and five
doubles.
According to the provision of the city
charter there must be sufficient names
to bring the percentage up to a re-
quired figure within five days after the
city clerks report or the recall is not
mandatory and the city council can
take no action.
1t Is believed at the city hall that no
further action will be taken, as it has
been frequently asserted that scores
of men who originally signed the pc
titions would not again sign and would
at this time like to remove their sig
natures from the petition.

THOUGHT SHE HAD
MONEY IN BANKS
MRS. HERMAN'S EXCUSE FOR
PASSING BAD CHECKS
Accomplished Woman Who Fooled
Department Store Employees Says
Husbands Neglect Drove
Her to Crime

Mrs ]. G. Herman, the beautiful and
accomplished young southern woman
whom the local detectives accuse of
having passed number Of worthless
checks on the various department
stores of Los Angeles, was yesterday
held for trial in the superior court un-
der $1,000 bail after a preliminary ex-
animation before Justice Young of the
township court.
With a smile that would have cap
tivated less impressionable parsonage,
Mrs. Herman accompanied Deputy
Jack Adams to the county Jail, where
she will spend the next few weeks un-
TIL the case reaches settlement before
jury In the superior court.
The charges against Mrs Herman are
of serious nature and the state yes
terday was represented by more than
a score of witnesses. According to the
allegations in the case Mrs. Herman
obtained money and articles of apparel
at several of the department stores by
giving worthless checks, which she Is
alleged to have known we're worthless.
Reared In Virginia
The story told by the young woman
is a pitiful one. She was born and
reared in Virginia and after her mar
riage went to Kansas City to live.
According to her statements her hus-
band did not provide for her and fin
ally left her, and then she came to Los
Angeles.
Suffering from the nervous shock the
woman alleges that she went to the de-
partment stores and gave the checks In
payment, but that she thought there
was an account in the Kansas City
bank upon which the checks had been
drawn to more than cover the amounts.
Yesterday the woman appeared in the
lower court for examination, after hav-
ing been brought back to Los Angeles
from Fresno, where she was arrested.
Without any show Of emotion she lis
tened while the clerks of the local de-
partment stores told how she had Sc
cured the money on the checks in their
various stores.
Evidence PiIeo Up
In one instance a clerk told the court
that Mrs. Herman had been introduced
to him as an old customer of the es-
tablishment and that he had later in
troduced her to another clerk so that
she could cash a check on a Kansas
City bank in payment for shirt waist
and other articles of wearing apparel
The heartbreaking evidence continued
to pile up against the woman, but she
showed no sign that the case troubled
her.
Even when the cashier of the bank
in question. who had been brought from
the east to testify, took the stand, Mrs.
Herman did not show any nervousness
further than the restless tapping of the
toe of her slipper against the rail of
the attorneys table.
The bank clerk stated that there was
no such account in his bank and that
there had not been any of that char
acter for many years, as he had
searched the books for six years.
The court then ordered that the
woman be held for trial in the superior
court, and as she had no friends in Los
Angeles she was compelled to go to
Jail pending the trial in the higher
court.
1t is understood that an attempt will
be made to secure probation sentence
in the case.

PecuIiarities of Napoleon

Napoleon's father was topper, a man
utterly lacking In moral senslblllty,
and his sisters were immodest and hys-
tsrical. According to DR.. Cabanas,
Pauline was particularly so. Napoleon
himself was exceedingly sensitive to
atmospheric changes, was headachey
and had auditory illusions. he had
twitchlngs Of the arms, the shoulders
and the lips. He was at times the
most irritable Of men, often being I'M
approachable. His mania for destruc-
Hon was such that he whitfield pieces
Of furniture, broke articles presented
to him, pinched babies while pretend
Ing to caress them and took keen de-
light In shooting Josephine's rarest
birds. The slightest opposition threw
him into a paroxysm Of rage, But In
campaign all weaknesses vanished.
His pulse ranged ordinarily between
thirty and thlrty-fve beats a minute
and never went above fifty-five. The
usual pulse rate is about seventy-two
a minute.

Fishes ny Barometars.

'In their way" said the old fisher
man, fishes are not such bad weather
prophets. If a storm Is approaching
the fish stop biting, and they won't bite
again until the storm Is well over.
They appear to know when a storm is
coming and when it has really passed.
And to fishermen and farmers living
along the shore fish foretell the near
approach Of cold weather Hours be-
fore it comes fishes leave the shallow
waters inshore and seek deeper water,
which in its depths will stay warm and
keep an equable temperature after the
shallower and surface waters have
turned cold. Oh, yes, fishes know a
thing or two about the weather.

The EYES of the EaRIe.

That the eagle has most wonderful
power of vision is shown from the fact
that 1t flies In almost a straight line for
any object which 1t desires to secure.
Baby eagles also possess this farsight-
edness. Long before human eyes can
discern them their gaze Is fixed on dis
lance, and their cries Of welcome to
their parents are shrill and continuous.
The structure Of their eyes makes them
peculiarly strong. The brightest glare
of sunlight does not affect them. Ea-
giles do not fly as high in the air as
some other birds, but their flight Is
very long and steady. A peculiarly
about eagles is that they are constant
to their mates, not changing every sea-
son, as most birds do. Sometimes the
same pair of eagles will return to the
same nest year after year. They seem
to become acquainted with the locality.
