LOCAL SHRINERS
GETTING BUSY
AL MALAlkAH PREPARING FOR
IMPERIAL COUNCIL
Royal Entertainment to Be Provided

"A royal train, DelleVe me-
Shakespeare, he of poetic fame, once
made this remark. And it soon will be
| up to AL Malaikah temple to make the
same remark regarding the pilgrims
who will flock to this mecca from all
parts of the country. And a royal time
is to be shown to the guests, if every
thing goes right, and for that end the
Shriners are working overtime.
The imperial council of the Mystic
Shrine which will convene in Los An
geles May will be the "grandest thing
that ever happened" hereabouts, and
the Shriners will have the time of their
lives.
Word has been received from Ell Jebel
temple of Denver that the members are
planning for a special train to Los
Angeles via the Colorado Midland rail-
road. Ell Jebel temple will be Joined
by large number of Shriners from
eastern points who will go to Denver
for the laying of the corner stone of
the new temple there May 2. The next
day the Shriners will leave Denver for
the west and large number of the
easterners will follow Ell JebePs lead.
among them being members of Ararat
temple, Kansas City; Zag-a-Zig temple,
Des Moines; Ell Kahir temple, Cedar
Rapids, and Naja temple, Deadwood,
S. d.
In preparation for these Customers"
the AL Malaikahians are doing stunts
for their minstrel show to be given
March 20 and 30 in the Mason opera
house. If they do half what they plan
the affair will be a bowling success,
Otherwise there is likely to be a howl.
Many circulars are being distributed
among the different temples, telling Of
the good times to be had in the south
land, each of which gives detailed
list of the stopovers and amount of
the necessary that will be required
for the trip.
Plans for the Fiesta are being carried
on with the other arrangements and
the wonderful array of flowers is at
tracing many a timid pilgrim who
breads the hot sands and the fatigue
of travelling by caravan.
The visiting Shriners' club will hold
a meeting at 1880 o'clock Monday even
ing in Baker &s Hathaway's office. 610
Homer Laughlin building. at which all
members of the Mystic Shrine not be-
longing to or affiliated with the local
shrine are requested to be present. A
committee will be formed to assist the

FLATIRON SAVES HER LIFE
Wowan Knocks Revolver From Would
Be Murderer's Hand as He
Was About to Fire
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ORANGE, N. j., March 3.-Henry
Horace Jacobus was saved from killing
his wife by the prompt action of Mrs
Catherine Nye, who, armed with flat
iron, struck from Jacobus' hand a re-
volver just as he was about to dis
charge it at his wife.
The infuriated man disarmed, the
wife ran from the house, closely pur-
sued by her husband, who, in turn,
was followed through two towns and
captured at last inside a sewer culvert
in Orange.
About six years ago Jacobus met
Mary Burke. There was no formal
introduction. Jacobus accompanied
her home that evening. They passed
the store of Joe Evans, Justice of the
peace. Jacobus suggested that they
go inside and get some candy and the
girl consented. Once inside, so the
story goes, Jacobus announced that
they had come to get married. Evans
went to get his Bible. Mary protested,
and said she didn't want to marry.
Jacobus persuaded her, however, and
Evans performed the ceremony. The
couple lived together until Jacobus got
tired.
Shortly afterward he met Teresa
Reeves of West Orange, and they were
married. Jacobus was arrested,
charged with bigamy and sent to
prison. After his release he dropped
out of sight.
Jacobus has been looking up his
first wife lately, Teresa Reeves having
died, and yesterday he found her at
567 Valley road, West Orange. He
went inside and greeted his wife COR
daily. He proposed that they forget
the past and start anew. Mrs. ia
cobus rejected the proposal, whereupon
Jacobus slapped her face and banged
her up against the wall, saying that
he would attend to her case later.
Jacobus returned this afternoon and
repeated his proposal with such fierce
ness that his wife ran down to Mrs.
Nye's apartment and took refuge in a
corner of the parlor. Jacobus rushed
about the place seeking her, and just
as Mrs. Nye ran in he took deliberate
aim at the cringing woman.
Mrs. Nye had a hot fiat iron in her
hand. and with a rush she was upon

Great Crowds at Old Plantation Dis

All roads last night apparently led to

This enterprising concern last Sun
day published coupons in the news
papers emitting the holders to a free

body. Besides her husband Mrs.
Gerhke leaves boy years old.
David Ammann's Statement

According to David Ammann he met
the husband in Chicago some time ago
and Mr.. Gerhke expressed a desire that
he take Mrs Gerhke to California for
the benefit of her health. On learning
that the young woman, scarcely 2S
years of age, was hopeessly insane,
Mr.. Amman refused the charge and
returned to Hollywood. Two weeks ago
he was surprised to have Mrs. Gerhke
call at his residence, stating that she
had come to California for a visit. The
kind-hearted man could not refuse to
entertain the wife of his acquaintance,
and so he offered her a room.
Mrs. Gerhke was quiet during the
day, but that night aroused the whole
household by her restlessness and
fears. She had a delusion that robbers
were pursuing her and screamed aloud
for help.
After enduring the insane vagaries
Of the woman for several days, Mr..
Amman told her that he could no
longer have her in the house and Of
fered her the use of a tent house in
the rear of his residence She moved
into that and kept house by herself.
Soon afterward the neighbors COM
planned that Mrs. Gerhke was wander
ing about at all hours of the night and
making a nuisance.

The history of t. life of Leo Adde
one of the cleverest comedians who
has ever been with the Olympia opera
company, which is now at the Hotch-
kiss, is briefly, educated for the priest
hood he became a comic opera singer.
Six years ago in Kansas City Adde
was in Catholic college preparing to
become a Jesuit priest. In the choir of
the college chapel it was discovered
that he had a bass voice of remarkable
range and sweetness.
The dlmnutive would-be padre hap
pened to go to see a performance of the
Olympia opera company and the next
day applied for position in the chorus.
He obtained the desired favor and the
next day went away from the college
in which he received his education and
has since been a member of the COM
pany of which Manager Seamans is the
head.

INSANE WOMAN SEEKS DEATH
IN AWFUL FORM
Covers Herself With Gasoline and
Then Applies Match-Leaves
Note Giving Reason
for Act

While under an insane delusion that
she was burden to her husband and
friends, Mrs. Emily Gehrke of Chi
cago. residing in Hollywood for the
last two weeks, committed suicide yes
terday morning by setting fire to a
blanket soaked in gasoline which she
wrapped tightly about her nude body
The woman was removed to the
county hospital, where she died yes
terday afternoon after suffering great
agony. She left a tear-stained note
in explanation of her act, which reads
as follows:
ITO my husband: Wish 1 could
have been much better to him than
have been. L did not realize how good
he was to me while with him. 1 am a
member of the German Lutheran
church and don't want minister"
On the reverse side Of the paper
were these words; II put gasoline on
self to burn up myself and set match
self and burn myself up and not to be
burden on anybody"
Made Deliberate Preparation
Mrs. Gerhke prepared for the ter
rible deed with all the cunning of a
mad woman. While David Amman,
at whose place the young woman was
being cared for, was absent in Los
Angeles to make arrangements to have
Mrs. Gerhke examined as to her
sanity, she secured a can Of gasoline
and after removing her clothing.
poured the inflammable liquid over her
body and then saturated a blanket in
the same fluid and wrapped it about
her. Then she deliberately struck a
match and set fire to the blanket.
When found just before noon she was
sitting in a chair in front of her little
cottage back of the Amman house on
Cover avenue, her body charred and
the blanket hanging in shreds.
DIR. Palmer OF Hollywood was sum-
moned and after seeing the critical
condition of the woman he ordered
that she be sent to the county hospital.
She died there at 8 o'clock in the after
noon.
The woman's husband is Anil
Gerhke, a railroad man living at 452
Racine avenue, Chicago. A telegram
was sent to him last night telling of
the suicide of his wife and asking

ASKS TAXPAYERS TO ASSIST
County Assessor Ward Issues an
Appeal in Behalf of His
DEPUTIES

Ben Ward, county assessor, issued
a notice yesterday that at noon to-
morrow he would place about fifty
deputies in the field to make the an
nual assessments. Owing to the great
increase in the work of the office and
the comparatively small amount of
money available for the purpose, the
taxpayers are requested to facilitate
the work of the deputies as much as
possible. Mr.. Ward says:

Don't ask him to call again. 1t is the

latter, Adde has one Of the most reten-
tive memories possessed by any man
on the stage today. After reading a
part over twice no further study is
necessary, for the part is learned letter
perfect After three performances
Adde knows every part in the whole
play, and if one of the actors needs
prompting the little singer is always
ready with the desired cue.
Many times when one of the leading
characters of the production has been
taken sick Adde has taken the part If
he was cast in a minor role, and no
one outside of the "lSnow" has been the
wiser.
The splendid bass voice possessed by
Adde is becoming better all the time
and the depth and volume of it is adj
mired by the patrons of the Hotchkiss.

Obtained Complaint Too Late

Before giving her the use of the tent
house Mr.. Amman conferred with
Sheriff White regarding an insanity
complaint but was unable at that time
to obtain one. Yesterday morning he
came to the city again and made ar
rangements to have Mrs. Gerhke ar
rested on a complaint charging her
with insanity.
When he arrived at his home the
woman had forestalled any action of
the courts to declare her insane by
committing suicide.
Mrs. Gerhke remained conscious from
the time of the burning until she was
taken to the hospital. She talked free
ly about herself and said that she felt
she was a burden to her friends and
had taken this method of lifting it.
The body was removed to Pierce
Brothers undertaking establishment,
where an inquest will be held.

RENT PAYS FOR LAND.
Fertile Sections of the South

SIS and Rents for SIS per

One of the remarkable things
about Eastern Arkansas and North
ern Louisiana is the fact that clear
ed land rents for S. per acre cash,
and can be bought for $50 to SIS
per acre. 1t costs from SO to St0
/ an acre to clear it. Other improve
ments necessary are slight and
inexpensive.
The soil it rich alluvial, or made.
1t produces a bale of cotton per
acre, worth SIS to 500. This ac-
counts for its high rental value.
Other crops, such as corn, small
grains, grasses, vegetables and
fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields I to cuttings,

$40 per ton.
In other sections of these states,

1t is the height of folly to dose the

The complete Hyomei outfit consists of
a hard rubber inhaler which can be
carried in the pnrse or vest pocket, a
medicine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei
and costs only one dollar, while extra
bottles can be obtained for so cents.
