SOCIETY WOMEN 60 TO COURT
TO HEAR TALE OF RUINED WAIST

But the representatives of the dye
works had plenty to say on the sub
ject They said that the numerous
holes in the satin had been there when
they received the waist. They further
stated that they had noticed the stains
on the waist and had thought they
had been caused by perspiration as
though the wearer had frequently at
tended dances.
Mrs. Clarke easily established an ala
bi in that she did not dance and the
dye works people then claimed that
the silk was of such delicate fabric
that in its condition 1t could not have
been cleaned without being damaged.
An argument followed and the Clarke
dressmaker was called to the stand.
She testified that she had examined
the waist before it was sent to the
cleaners, and that it was in good con-
dition at that time She further testi-
fed that she had seen the waist after
its return to Mrs. Clarke and that
the holes and stains on the waist had
been caused by improper handling at
the cleaners.
After that the waist was examined
by women who stared at its delicate
fabric through lorgnettes and made
comment about it's ultra style.
Then the Judge examined 1t through
his spectacles and said it looked like
about $16.25 worth of damage accord
ing to his expert judgment and that
sum was allowed in favor of the plain
tiff.

Fred r. Kurtz, loquacious and argu-

charge of cruelty to animals. Kurtz

The man was driving a team har-

there were fifty sacks of stale bread,
when he suddenly decided to take a

there was wire fence in front of him
meant nothing to Kurtz and when
the horses sought to turn aside he

DYERS MUST PAY FOR REND-

MiIIionaire's Wife Sent Dainty Crea-
tion to Be Cleaned, but When 1t
Was Returned Twas a
Sorry Sight

Prominent members of the Los An
geles -Four Hundred" fashionably
dressed maids and matrons, and expert
dressmakers and cleaners thronged
Justice Pierce's township court for the
greater part of yesterdays session to
listen to the evidence in a suit for re-
covery of $25 brought by Mrs. H. H.
aire, against the Angelus Dye works
for alleged damages to a satin waist,
sent to the company's cleaning depart
ment for renovation.
Mrs Clarke was in court and watched
the proceedings carefully She told how
she had sent the handsome waist to
the cleaners to be given thorough
cleaning and how when the garment
was returned it looked as though it
had been used as target for shot
gun
The story of the waist as told yester-
day in court is as follows: Mrs. Clarke
came to Los Angeles during the early
weeks of May, to visit her daughter,
Mrs. Luther Brown, wife of a well
known attorney. Since it was Mrs.
Clarke's first visit to her daughter
since the Brown wedding in September,
the occasion of the visit was made
pleasant by a number of receptions
and entertainments.
to the evidence, Mrs. Clarke sent a
beautiful cream -colored satin waist
to be cleaned Mrs. Brown sent suit
to the cleaners at the same time, but
according to the evidence yesterday
the suit returned in good shape, while
the waist looked like II was just re-
covering from a severe illness when it
again reached its owner.
1t was testified that whereas the
mass Of dainty satin and lace had
once been healthy and hardy, it was
unusually pale and worn looking upon
its return, while deep abrasions on
the arms and shoulders emphasized its
condition.
The waist was produced and the at
torney In the case proceeded to ex-
anime It. Rolled i'm bundle. II would
just about ft in the palm of a mar 5
hand, but when II was stretched out
and displayed to the gaze OF those in
the court room 1t was a wonder TO be-
hold.
The women present gasped with de-
light and shook their heads in wonder
when II was testified that the waist
had cost only $25.

SMOKE MAKER TO REFORM
Woman's Protest Brings Promise to
Muffle Engine and Con-

S. A. Donaldson found opposition to
his application for a gasoline engine
before the fire commission yesterday
morning. Mrs. Mary j. Quinn, a prop
erty owner in the neighborhood of
Santa Monica and Agricultural ave-
nues where Mr. Donaldson proposed to
establish small factory, told the COM
mission that the tenants in her prop
erty had threatened to leave on ac-
count of the smoke nuisance caused by
the manufacturing interests in the
neighborhood.
Mrs. Quinn and Mr.. Donaldson made
satisfactory arrangements however,
when Donaldson agreed to put muf-
fer on his gasoline engine and a smoke
condenser on his stack. On his promise
TO make these improvements the COM
mission granted his request.

young corporation fighters In Califol.
mia, was In Los Angeles yesterday.
Mr.. Loucks is heartily in favor of
an independent county movement as an
entering wedge to break the hold of the
corporations in public affairs.
Mr.. Loucks is a Democrat, but he
expresses the belief that the non-par-
tisan county movement should be put
through If for no other reason than to
continue on the superior bench Judge
Waldo M. York, a Republican, who was
defeated by the machine becaus OF de-
cisions rendered by Judge York
against the Southern Pacific.
Judge York. declared Mr.. Loucks, is
the most popular jurist on the seperior
bench with the people generally
throughout the county, and he predicts
Judge York's election by an over
whelming vote on a non-partisan
ticket.
Mr.. Loucks also paid tribute to the
ability of Milton X. Young and ex-
pressed the hope that Judge D. *.
Trask would accept nomination on
non-partisan ticket.
Registration Proceeds Rapidly
The registration in Los Angeles coun-
ty this year Will reach total OF dp-
proximately $1,000.
over the total registration of 1904 when
the total was 6S,301.
The registration thus far amounts to
about 10000, and there remain twenty
three secular days, during which time
it is expected that the registration VIII
not fall short of 10000
From 1902 to 1904 the registration in
Los Angeles increased from 2S,252 TO
42.576 or a gain of 1894 while the
county outside the city increased from
Is, SAG to 25, ,725. a gain of 5S76. The ratio
of increase in the city and county re-
mains about the same, which will make
the total registration of the city about
81, 900 and that of the county districts
about $4,000.
Democrats feel confident that the
next election will show a decided
change in the political complexion of
several wards, and also that the vote
in the county as a whole will become
more equalized between the two main
parties.
Los Angeles Climbing Up
San Francisco's vote in the coming
election is expected to show decreast
of probably two-thirds The registra-
tion for primaries In that county has
been completed and shows 22,000 voters
enrolled. That would point to a vote
of 900 in November. At the election
of 1904 the city cast $1,000 votes. The
total vote of the four other large coun-
ties of the state in 1904, given in round
numbers, was as follows:

A CHANCE FOR BETTER LIGHTS.


The Mt. Pleasant Electric Co. has
submitted proposition to the city
whereby they offer to change "a or
more of the 92 candle power street
lights to 55 candle POWER at a small
additional cost to the city. The offer
is the result of suggestions made by
this department and other citizens,
who would be willing to subject them
selves to little heavier tax for bet
ter lights. Our opinion is, that the
city would do we'll to give this matter
very serious consideration. as better
lights are certainly needed on the
streets OF Mt. Pleasant and now The
city has a chance to have as small a
nmber as twenty-five lights exchanged
from a 80 candle power to SO candle
power light at the insignificant sum
of S24.00 per month. If the city does
not just now see fit to replace all the
present street lights with the 80 can
die power lights, pick out a few Of
those places where the change is
needed the most and make the change
of at least "a, say principally on Oh
near street corners and the improve
ment, will be worth many times 1T
cost to the city and its citizens.
