papers will be requested to publish
these lists and aid the campaign for
pure foods.
Such action is the only method by
which the board of health can prevent
or limit the sale of injurious foods in
this city. There is no operative pure
food law on the state statute books.
There is a law that purports to be a
pure food law, but through an amend
ment to which it is subjected by the
last Legislature it is invalid, and the
prosecuting attorneys refuse to bring
suits on this law as they are utterly
unable to secure convictions.
This fact is well known to the manu-
facturers of adulterated foods, and
they flood the Los Angeles market
with impure articles In this way this
city and other portions of California
become a. dumping ground for all the
dregs that are spurned by other states.
In the opinion of the board of health
the publicity method of dealing with
frauds of this kind is better than an
entire tome of laws, for it believes
that when the people are made aware
of what they are buying they will re-
fuse to accept these articles from their
dealers, and with the demand shut off
in this way the supply will cease.

IS A cow A cow BEFORE
cow BECOMES A cow?
OR is A CALF A CALF BEFORE 1T
is A HElFER7
And Why Is a Cow Anyhow Are
Questions Which Puzzled Court
Must Answer in Deciding If City
Ordinances Have Been Violated

When is a COW not COW? That is
the conundrum that is puzziing City
Prosecutor Beebe.
S. Haller c.. W. Barnett and G. H.
Morgan are under arrest charged with
keeping more than one COW on their
premises. This is a violation of a
city ordinance and the inspectors of
the health department obtained the evil
dence ON which the complaints were
based
But the men came into court yester-
day and said that they only keep one
COW and one calf This calf, they claim,
should not be considered COW under
the ordinance.
The cases are set for trial the latter
part of next month and juries have been
asked for in each case.
According to the authorities" a calf
ceases to be a calf when it can hustle
for itself and no longer depends upon
its mother for sustenance. This view
of the case will be combated by at
torneys for the defendants and they
will have experts to testify that a
calf is a calf under all circumstances
until 1t is a heifer. That will raise
another question of when Is heifer a
COW.
The Sow case promises to make
legal police court history when they
come to trial.

LEADING WOMAN
GOES ON STRIKE
SAYS SHE WILL NOT PLAY IN
HONOLULU
Actress Has Visions Of a Foreign
Prince Who Wants to Marry Her
and Declines to Travel
With Company

There Is trouble in the w. ]. Ellie
ford company at the Grand opera
house. Not very serious trouble, but
just a little edge of excitement behind
the asbestos.
w. j. IGlleford is making plans for
his regular trip to Honolulu with his
company.
Meta Chamberlain, the leading
woman of the company, says she will
not go to Honolulu.
w. ]. Efleford does not want to
change leading women, because he is
more than satisfied with Miss Cham
jefiain.
And Prince Kakawauea, away over
In Honolulu, is the cause of it all.
When the Elleford company was in
Honolulu last summer the prince with
the unpronounceable name was a reg
ular attendant at the theater. In fact,
he had a box reserved for him three
nights out of the week. Hence it was
that he became very much devoted to
Miss Chamberlain and kept sending
her flowers and paying her all sorts of
little attentions
Now. although a Hawaiian prince is
a prince in name only, he is person
of some prominence socially, so his
continuous presence at the theater
was good thing for the Elleford COM
pany, and 1t was noticed by Honolulu
society. 1t was therefore not consid-
cred surprising at all when he an
nounced, shortly before the conclusion
of the Elleford season, that he was
going to give the company farewell
dinner.
1t was somewhat surprising, how
ever, although quite in line with the
conduct of the eccentric prince, that
toward the conclusion of the dinner
he rose to his feet and made a formal
announcement of his engagement to
Miss Chamberlain. That young woman
was too much surprised to make any
denial and hoping it was intended as
a joke she passed 1T off.
The prince did not consider it as
joke, and so during the few days that
the company remained there Miss
Chamberlain was kept busy lodging
his semi-highness.
That's why she refuses point blank
to go to Honolulu.

GUN FIGHTER IN HOSPITAL
Alton Taken to Institution
Where Victim Died

Henry Simpson, the negro who shot
Henry Alton last week in the course
of fight on Third street, was re-
moved yesterday to the county hospi-
tai, where his victim died two days
ago.
Simpson is suffering considerably
from his wound in the abdomen. He
will recover. however, and will prob
ably have to stand trial for killing
Alton.
A coroner's jury late yesterday af-
ternoon brought in verdict of mur-
der against Simpson on the ante-mor-
tenn statement of Alton that Simpson
had first attacked him before he drew
his revolver.
Simpson, however claims that Alton
shot at him without provocation, and
that while dangerously wounded he
managed to get shot at Alton with
the latter's own gun.

MAYOR BLAMES
THE COUNC|LMEN
SAYS CHARTER Is HIS ONLY
GUIDE FOR ACTION
Wants to Know Why His Public
Works Appolntees, Whom He
Considers Competent, Are
Not Confirmed

Late yesterday evening Mayor Nc
that he has promised for some time.
1t was not considered at the city hall
as strong as he had intimated 1t might
be. The statement is as follows:
when first took UP the question of
the appointment of a board of public
works / asked the civic associations to
submit lists of names. L also called
several members of the council to an
informal conference.
"At that conference 1 asked a promise
of secrecy from each councilman In
order that the names under discussion
might not be made public. My reason
for this was that 1 did not desire to
embarass any citizen by having the
public know that his name had been
proposed and rejected.
within ten minutes after the coun-
cilmen left my office a reporter came to
me with the list of names that / had
submitted in conference. The next day
the civic bodies issued ty public state
ment crltlcislng my action, which 1
answered
After this experience 1 determined
once for all to be guided solely by the
charter provisions. 1 have sent the
council only the names of good men.
have sent them in good faith. Why
have they not been confiremed?
Excuses Himself
"I have satisfied myself that the men
proposed are trustworthy, honest and
competent to perform the duties of the
office. During all this discussion no
better men have been suggested.
II feel that 1t is the spirit of the
charter that these names should be
confirmed or some good reason should
be advanced for not accepting them.
The council has given no reason for the
rejection of single one of the nine
names l have submitted; neither has
public report advanced anything tend
ing to show that they are not fit men
for the place.
IT do not feel that it is incumbent
on me at this time to go into caucus
with the council or to send them a
great list of names singly and permit
them to chose the board. I think that
the number of names l have submitted
is evidence on my part of good faith.
by the steadfast rejection of so
many names it is plain to me that the
council desires to appoint it's own
board of works. This is not in accord
with the provisions of the charter and
/ shall decline to take part in any such
program"

Trouble Of East BauIine.

Sydney, n. S, July 10.-In a dense
fog early this morning the Elder
Demster Line steamer Angola, Capt.
Thomas. from Vera Cruz and Progress
so, via Sydney for Montreal, struck on
the rocks off East Bauline. near Louis
burg and held fast owing to lack of
communication only mcagre particu-
lars are available and the tugs which
went To the assistance of the strand
ed liner are still standing by. The
place where the steamer went ashore
is rocky point 10 miles east of Louis
burg harbor and five miles west of
Scatterie, which shows that the
steamer was some miles out of her
course when she struck. There is no
telephone or telegraph communicative
to the place, which consists only of Il
few fishcrmen's houses and the near
est place Of Importance is Mainadiu or
Louisburg, 10 or l. miles distant. The
coast in that vicinity has been the
scene of many wrecks in days gone by,

300 lives.

1t is understood that the passengers
