COMMISSIONERS
CONTINUE WAR
BOARDS DISAGREE ABOUT THE
SECRETARYSHIP
Heads of Fire Department Refuse to
Approve of Appointee-President
of Civil Service Board
Offers to Resign

RcSeutng the accusation that the
civil service commission plays politics
i'm it's appointments. DR.. ID. w. Edel-
man, president of the board, made 4
tender of his resignation in an eXecu-
tive meeting of the fire commission. but
thinking better of it withdrew his offer
to resign and will continue at the head
OF the civil service commission until his
term expires next month. He claims he
cannot again be inducted to accept the
place and it is not likely the mayor
will again nominate him.
The trouble between the fire commits
sion and the president of the civil ser
vice commission arose over the secre-
taryShip of the fire department, and
dates back more than year.
Under Fire Chief Strohm. "Bobbie"
Burns was secretary of the fire depart
ment, and when the resignation of the
fire chief was demanded Burns also
rendered his resignation. The office
was then put under civil service and
soon afterWard Secretary Bagley was
certified by the commission and ap-
pointed by the fire commission. In the
meantime Burns had taken the civil
service examination for the place,
passed with a high mark and the civil
service commission was on the point
of certifying him when charges of in
toXication were preferred against him.
Burns was placed on six months pro-
baton, and having kept straight for
that length of time was placed on the
eligible list by the commission.
Bagley resigned and Burns was inn
mediately certified by the commission.
Burns, however, was not in favor with
the fire commission and the mayor and
they refused to appoint him to the
place and named an emergency man,
declaring they would abolish the office
rather than accept Burns.
This was about three weeks ago. At
this time a report reached the ears of
the fire board purpOrting to come from
Luther Brown, that amy of the boys
who We're all right" could pass the civil
service.
Acting on this report, the fire board
sent for DIR. Edelman and openly ac-
cused him and his colleagues of playing
politics. This incensed the president OF
the commission to such an extent that
he offered to tender his resignation,
The members of the fire commission
tried to induce the mayor to accept it,
but he refused, saying that they could
settle their own differences without his
intervention,
Meanwhile the civil service commits
sion declares it will insist on the APP
pointment of "Bobbie" Burns, and the
fire commission is equally insistent that
it will abolish the office if it is com
PEELED to accept Burns, The end is not
vet.

NOBODY IS EXEMPT
A New Preparation Which Everyone Will
Need Sooner or Later

Almost everybodys digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the common
est thing they do for it is to take some
one of the many so-called blood puri-
fiers, which in many cases are merely
strong cathartics. Such things are not
needed. If the organs are in clogged
condition they need only a little help
and they will right themselves. Cathar-
tics irritate the sensitive Innings of the
stomach and bowels and often do more
harm than good
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condi-
tion to be readily digested and assimi-
lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate
gestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and mem
Lranes. They put the whole digestive
system in condition to do its work.
When that is done you need take no
more tablets, unless you eat what does
not agree with you. Then take one or
two tablets-give them needed help and
you will have no trouble.
It's common sense medicine and a
common sense treatment and it will
cure every time. Not only cure the
disease but cure the cause. Goes about
s In a perfectly sensible and scientific
way.
We have testimonials enough TO All
a book, but we don't publish many of
them. However-Mrs. r. NJ. Faith of
Byrd's Creek, Wis, says:
II have taken all the Tablets / got
OF you and they have done their work
Well in my case, for l feel like a differ
ent person altogether. / don't doubt if
I had not got them ] should have been
at rest by this time"
II. u. Willard, Onslow, Ia, says: "Mr.
White of Canton was telling me OF
your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him Of
Dyspepsia from which he suffered for
eight years. AS / am a sufferer myself
I wish you to send me a package by re-
turn mail.'
Phil Brooks, Detroit, Mich, says:
"Your Dyspepsia cure has worked Won
ders I'm my case. / suffered for years
from dyspepsia, but am now entirely
cured and enjoy life as 1 never have
before. | gladly recommend them"
IL VIII cost JOc 10 lind out Just how
much Stuar's Dyspepsia Tablets will
help you. Try them-thats the best
way TO decide.

Girl Is Hidden Away


Girl Is Hidden Away
Tho police have not accepted this
story Of Marks as the absolute truth
In fact the police are inclined 10 be
lievc very little the man says. II was
only upon the avowal OF Miss Smith
the story that she was his niece was
accepted
on coming to this city the girl sought
the Russ house at once and secured
employment there as a chambermaid.
It is said that 1t was through the in
fluence Of Baldwin the Rirl was given
work there. 1t is also said that 1t was
the girls love for Baldwin that caused
her to return TO the Russ house. When
Marks arrived upon the scene May i'm
mediately sought the counsel of Bald
win, and through him she was hidden
from her uncle in the home Of some OF
his friends.
Marks soon discovered the hiding
place Of the girl and applied for Il
search warrant for her. The detectives
accompanied him to the house, but
upon the peadings OF the girl to not
be turned over to him she was placed
i'm the detention home. This happened
yesterday morning At noon yesterday
the girl was taken from the detention
home tC. the female ward of the city
prison at the gi'Is own request
Marks is unable to create favorable
impression upon anyone TO whom he
speaks or attempts to explain tine
situation. He ramblcs away IN an III
,ohercnt manner. always denying that
he has ever treated the girl otherwise
than he would mis- own daughter
"When the girl was not s months old
I cared for her. he said Yesterday
afternoon while wandering nervouslY
about in the central police station. Il
took care of her as her own mother
would have done if she had been well
enough to stand the strain. Ever since
then | have watched and guarded the
girls life and [ shall have her in spite
of all the objection that is raised
against it and the seeming futility of
making further efforts toward that
end
The police say he shall not have the
possession of the girl until he can show
that he can properly provide for her.
Baldwin says that he shall not have
the girl. Thompson and his wife say
that he shall not have the girl If they
can prevent it. The war for her pos
session Is on In the meantime Miss
Smith remains content and apparently
happy behind the bars i'll the central
police station. All communication with
the girl in any manner has been denied

Fisherman Unsuspeetina

Believing that she was II boy. the
fisherman aCceded to her request to be
taken TO san Pedro and the two left
Santa Barbara last Monday in an open
fishing dory.
Instead of going to San Pedro, the
fisherman, blown by unfavorable winds,
was forced to run down to San Diego.
There the girl landed at Old Town and
went to the home Of friends of her
family and secured fitting attire.
Mr.. Scott was inclined to be non
commttal when seen last evening, but
asserted the girl had acted very fool
ishly in trying to get back TO her home
in the manner in which she did. Miss
Scott said the fisherman remained in
ignorance of her sex to the last, and
doubtless still does not know that the
unskillful sailor he shipped in Santa
Barbara was q girl.

Miss, Said to Be
the Mans Niece, Flees to
Officers for Pro-
lection

For the possession OF his 1j-ycar-old
niece, May Smith, DR." p. j. Marks,
who has had apartments at the Russ
house on East First and Los Angeles
streets, is waging war against the
police. who have the girl i'm custody;
Attorney Fred II. Thompson and his
wife, proprietors Of the Russ house. and
Sherman Baldwin, n clerk employed in
the hotel.
Sherviu Baldwin stands as champion
or tho girl Three times. it is said, he
has taken the girl to other apartments
in order to keep her out of the reach OF
her almost frantic uncle. The girl has
told the police that she lives In con-

reach Of her uncle and her present in
carCCrntlou I'm the female ward at the
city prison is at her own request and
the consent Of sherman Baldwin.
The girl is suffering with Consump-
tiou. IT was with the hopes Of regain
ing her health that she. i'm company
with her uncle, left her home in Ard
more, Indian Territory. Her uncle
claims he took the girl i'm his charge
and has ever since treated her as ne
would his own daughter.
Is Afraid Of Her Uncle
Yet the girl says, Il am afraid Of my
life when that man is near me- What
1t is that has caused the girl 10 make
this statement puzzles the police. who
have given her protection. It is
thought that behind 1t all is the love
that Baldwin bears for the pretty
blonde. May admits that she loves
Baldwin and that she will surrender to
him for safety from her uncle.
Several weeks ago Marks and Miss
Smith were in this city. AT the time
they had apartments at the Russ house
and the pair attracted considerable at
tention because they lived together.
When questioned by the hotel proprie-
tors they said they were uncle and
niece. But their stay here at that time
was very brief. on leaving here they
are said to have started out for san

Loses Her Clothes Overheard

A week ago she decided to return to
Los Angeles. and with that purpose in
view she boarded the little steamer
which plies between Santa Barbara and
Anacapa island, and ON account Of the
rough weather prevailing at the tim"
she still wore the overalls ana blouse
which she had used while camping on
the island.
The roughness of the weather i'll
creased and when the little craft was
within few miles of Santa Barbara
an unusually heavy sea carried the fem
inine apparel belonging to Miss Scott
into the ocean.
All of the money which Miss Scott
had with her was also swept away In
the valse. When she arrived at Santa
Barbara she was without funds, and
accordingly had no means of reaching
Los Angeles. She says she never
thought of telegraphing to her father
in this city, and when the opportunity
came for her to ship with fisherman
who told her he was going to san
Pedro she did so.
