A FREE REGISTRATION.

There is a strong probability that the cost of registration may be defrayed out of the appropriation carried by the joint statehood bill <o meet the ex- penses of the election of delegates to the constitutional convention. This probability is based upon the following language: That the sum of $150,OO0 or so much thereof as may be neces- sary is hereby appropriated, for de- fraying ALL AND EVERY KIND AND CHARACTER or expense incident to the elections and conventions provided for in this act"
 It is elsewhere provided that: Such election for delegates shall be con ducted, the returns made and the cer- tificates of persons elected to such con- vention issued. as near es may be, in the same manner as is prescribed by the laws of said territories
 The laws of this territory make registrations incident" to it's cleo tions so that the bill promises to pay for registration as well as for the op- eration of the rest of the election ma chinery
 The only ostensihle objection which has been brought against a new and complete registration in this county has been that it would entail a heavy expense which might be avoided. That objection appears to be removed by the statehood bill. If any other ob- lection should, be advanced it would begin to be suspected that the real one was being concealed.
 It was found at the last election that there were the names of 500 persons which ought not to have been listed on the great register. Otherwise the rottenness and inaccuracy of the list was disclosed.
 Now is the time to remedy all this and we believe it can be done without laying a burden of one cent upon the taxpayers of the county.

TENANTS WIFE is A LODGER
Landlord Is Not Responsible for Her
Injuries, Because She Only
boards" at Home
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 14.-An interesting
case involving the liability of land
lord who let's unsafe premises was de-
cided yesterday by the house of lords.
Mrs. Minnie Cavalier, the wife of a
French polisher appealed against a
judgment of the court of appeal set
ting aside a verdict in her favor for
C 75 for damages for injuries received
in an accident.
The facts, which We're not disputed,
were that the husband rented three
rooms in HoXton, and repeatedly drew
the attention of the landlords agent to
the unsafe condition of the premises.
The agent promised to make the neces-
sary repairs, but the promise was not
carried out, and one day when Mrs.
Cavalier was standing on a chair drop
ping pennies in a penny-in-the-slot gas
meter the legs of the chair went
through rotten board in the floor and
she fell and was severely injured
The husband sued for breach of con-
tract and received G25; while Mrs. Cav
alier obtained a verdict for G75 for her
injuries. The court of appeal held that
there was no liability on a landlord
who let dangerous premises for any ac-
cldent which might happen to GUS
TONER guest or lodSer, and that a wife
was in exactly the same position as a
stranger.
The lord chancellor yesterday, in
moving that Mrs. Cavaliers appeal
should be dismissed, said he could find
no right of action in the wife against
the landlord for letting the premises in
a dangerous condition or for a breach
of contract with the husband to repair
them.
Lord Atkinson said that if a person,
knowing that the premises were unsafe,
went in them, he must be assumed to
have accepted the risk voluntarily.
Lords Macnaghten. Davey, James Of
Hereford and Robertson concurred in
the judgment.

STORIES OF LIFE AND OF PEOPLE

NEW YORK, July 1O.-The trusting
man who takes his wife or sweetheart
to Manhattan beach on holiday or a
Sunday, expecting to give her a good
time, will do well if he orders and eats
his dinner soon after the breakfast
hour. If he waits until the usual time
for dining he will in all likelihood re-
turn to New York city a very hungry
man.
Manhattan beach lies between the
Oriental hotel to the east and Coney

social honor balances quiet fairly be-
tween the two. II is at Manhattan

coast is to be heard, and the finest fire.

when 1t comes to hotel Accommodate
on crowded day, it is actually out of
sight to a large number of visitors.
The pressure upon the service on these
special occa sions is something enor-
NOUS and people who are best posted
make it their business on arrival to
secure table for an early hour. AS
early as o'clock every seat is occupied
and hungry and impatient crowds are
already standing about the doors.
The experienced visitor, however, has
learned one thing that the tenderfoot
does not know, which is that there is
always somewhere a table in a cozy
corner that. while apparently spoken

body who is rich enough and bright

Where New York Lunches
Where do 100000 inhabitants of this
gay city eat their luncheon? 1t is a
perplexing question that is frequently
asked by almost every non-initiated
Angeleno who has taken a cursory
glance at the streams of well-dressed
men and women vending their way to
work In the mornings. Look almost
where you will in the vast crowds of
busy humanity, which begin to swell
from sunrise until O'clock in the
morning, when all the business streets
are filled. and you will seldom observe
a lunch box, a dinner pail or, in fact
any receptac Gle or parcel that might
conceal even a sandwich. The noon
hour answers the question of the in
bucket and lunch box are as familiar
as his morning newspaper. The whistles
have blown and the bells have struck

What sweI!s Pay for Living

TWO New workers. in the lobby OF the
Waldorf Astoria were talking and en-

middle-aged man entered and meekly
nodded. "There is the biggest saphead

him to do otherwise?" replied No. 2.

Two Clever Songs Popular
A visit to any of the nearby summer
resorts will easily settle the question
as to what two songs have scored the
popular hits of the year. It is at least
hVe years since any song has become
as epidemic as Waiting at the
Church" but the only reason why you
don't hear BILLY Simmons" sung so
much is that the syncopated time and
melody are so much harder to catch
Wherever there is string band, a
team of banjOists or an orchestra these
are the two numbers which are
drummed out day and night. These
two ditties,. each a musical gem in its
own peculiar way are songs to which
you must make up your minds to listen
all through the summer. And they are
both so clever that they are likely to
die very hard.

Used Patrol to Haul Money
Simply because two uniformed Off

the proceeds of a National lea que base

bank, they are now on the carpet and

which reached the ears of the commits

the proceeds of the game to the bank
and they so informed the officers. A
signal was then sent in for the patrol
wagon by one of the guardians, two
satchels containing the money were
placed in the "hurry-up," which under
the care of the two uniformed men
was whirled to the bank. Had the Off
