ACROBAT TRIES TO
COMMIT SUICIDE

Despondent because of inability to
obtain work and grieving over quar-
rel with her stage partner, Grace Ed
wards, an acrobat attempted to COM
nit suicide early yesterday morning in
a cafe, 214 North Spring street, by
shooting herself
The woman was in no condition to
take certain aim and the bullet
struck her in the left shoulder. She
fell to the floor in a fainting condi-
tion and was removed to the receiving
hospital, where the bullet was ex-
tracted and the wound dressed.
Miss Edwards was permitted to leave
the hospital later in the day. She
told the surgeons that she arrived in
Los Angeles with her teammate, F. E.
Dix, with whom she had been working
in Portland. They tried to secure an
engagement in some local variety
theater but were unsuccessful. Tuesday
night the two quarreled and decided
to separate. They went to the cafe for
last evening together.
Suddenly the woman pulled tiny
revolver from her bosom and aimed 1t
at her heart.
Dix sprang from his seat and at
tempted to wrest the weapon from her
grasp, but the trigger was pulled be-
fore he reached his partner and she
fell 10 the floor in a semi-conscious
condition.
Detectives intimated that the woman
was trying to frighten her companion
by shooting herself, but the woman
declared she was tired of life and
wished to die.
Miss Edwards is said to be clever
acrobat and at one time Travelled with
the Ringing Bros circus. She is said
to have been on the Orpheum circuit
at one time.

Tragedy of Three Lives

The petition for annulment ofamar-

pitful story yesterday in the superior
court. According to the evidence in
the case. for Mrs. Murberry's state

her husband, she had married MUIR

and had been living with him in this
country ever since
Mulberry was a sea captain in 1892,
commanding whaling vessel. After
providing a good home for his wife he
started for the frozen north In Nor
way he received a message that his
wife was suffering from blood poison
ing and was In a serious condition. 1t
was then too late to turn back, ana
when he reached that port months
later he received message to the effect
that his wife was dying. The message
was five months late, and the sea cap
tain, knowing 1t was too late, continued
to America with his cargo. There he
met Miss Minnie Golden and later mar

comb, Illinois Normal school, reading;
Beatrice Chandler Patton, Los An
geles, primary training department"
In his annual address to the
students, DIR. Millspaugh said:
"This school, like the other normal
schools of California, is the more or
less perfect realization of an ideal
an Institution for the professional
training of teachers and for raising
the standard of teaching in the state.
Twenty-four years ago this September
the school began its work. Since then
it has instructed more than 5000 stu
dents of teaching. Probably four
fifths of this number have by actual
teaching furnished the state some
measure of return for its investment.
1t is safe to say that of the 1885
students who have completed the
courses prescribed and obtained di-
plomas from the school, 95 per cent
have engaged in teaching. That is
to say, the graduates of this
school have guided the entire school
life of some $4,000 American citizens,
who now constitute the active and
social forces of the commonwealth
and hold its destiny in their hands.
Is Center Of Activity
"The normal school itself, if it meas
uses up to it's oportunity, is the CEN
ter of educational activity, whose in
fiuence directly an dindirectly affects
a wide area.
Last year in our desire to make the
school useful to larger number we
endeavored to organize normal ex-
tension movement In two ways: First.
by opening our class rooms on Satur-
days for the instruction of teachers in
certain important subjects; and sec
ond, be sending representatives of our
number to neighboring communities to
give lectures and hold conferences in
connection with the particular subject
of study. The results of our enterprise
were somewhat Disappointing, for we
had hoped that our efforts would be
greeted with greater interest than was
shown. But the movement was not
in vain, for it taught us the important
truth that our first work must be,
not as we had supposed. to supply de-
mands, but rather II create them Our
effort served at la4 to show that we
are alive and are reekoned with In edu-
cational affairs. In my judgment the
plan, modified in some respects, should
be undertaken and pushed much more
vigorously. | bespeak for 1t your earn
est consideration.
I'VE find that the museum is one
of the important factors of the school
and as close and vital as that of the
library. We hope to install an ex-
hibit I'm this school to illustrate in an
effective way possibilities of this
means of instruction.
II believe the time is ripe for this
school to undertake teh preparation
of special teachers i'm certain branches
special supervision i'm the common
school to undertake the preparation
drawing, manual training, domestic
science, etc. This would be made
practicable as California is a long way
from the centers where the leading
schools of special preparations are
found"

STATE NORMAL
REOPENS TODAY
FALL SEMESTER SHOWS AD-
VANCEMENT
Three Hundred Students Register to
Enter Upon Active Work, in
Final Preparation for
Teaching

The state normal school upon the
hill will open it's doors on busy
throng of young people today, who will
begin with the first sessions of the
fall semester. 1T is expected to be
the largest class in the history of the
school and many new features have
been added under the direction OF DR.
j. F. Mllspaugh, president of the in
stitution. In speaking of the work
to be accomplished, DR.. Millspaugh
said yesterday:
"There have been registered about
300 students for the beginning of the
fall term, about half of them have
never entered here before. Thirty OF
the whole number will take up the
kindergarten courses.
"tThere will be fair representation
of new Students in the new course OF
three years. The remainder will be In
the regular course of two years. Al
present the old course of four years Is
entirely discontinued We are only ad-
mitting students who have taken the
full term of four years or its equiva-
lent.
1.-The school has recently raised its
requirements for graduation so far
as one class of students Is concerned
Heretofore no student has been able
to obtain a diploma unless having at
tended one full year. Now holders OF
college degrees from Institutions which
require eight full years Of high school
and college work to obtain the degree
will be able to secure a state normal
school diploma upon the satisfactory
work OF one year in pedagogical sub
jects and teaching practice. Quite a
number of students have entered upon
this course.

WANT RAILWAY MEN
TO EXPLAIN ACTION

The conference between the Santa
Fe railroad officials and the board Of
public works was not held yesterday on
account of the absence from the city of
Superintendent vols. Mr.. Wells Is
expected to return today. and in that
event the conference will be held this
afternoon.
The board is anxious to learn from
the officials Of this railroad why they
laid a spur track on Mill street without
first securing franchise for that pur-
pose. officials of the railroad have ad-
mitted that they laid the track with
out a franchise. but claim that they
own the property on both sides Of the
street. and believed. under these cir
cumstances, they had right to do so.
While they may own the property on
both sides of the street they do not own
the street is the conten tion of the board.
III the Santa Fe viii agree to relin-
quish the franchise recently granted by
the council on Merrick st-eet, however.
the board is willing to allow the council
to grant a franchise for Mil street

STOP SALE OF
SEWAGE WATER
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
ISSUES ORDER
No More Irrigation of Vegetables

AIlowed-WiII Enforce
New Ruling

The board of public works yesterday
issued an order to 1. C. Barron. super
intendent of the outfall sewer, that no
more sewage be sold to the Chinese
lessees of land belonging to George w.
Dryden and r. d. List for the irriga-
tion of vegetables eaten raw. At the
same time letters were sent to Mr.. List
and Mr.. Dryden. asking them to CO.
operate in stopping the use of this sew
age for such purposes.
The land in question is in the neigh
borhood of Vernon and Western ave.
nues. The land is rented chiefly to
Chinese for truck gardens and sewage
has been freely used to irrigate tho
growing vegetables.
The board of health has waged con-
stant war against the sale of sewage
for irrigation and few weeks ago in
duced the council to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the sale of vegetables to be
eaten raw, such as lettuce, tomatoes
and others, in the city limits. In order
to be consistent the board of public
works ordered that after September |
no more sewage should be sold for ir-
rigation of any other vegetables than
those that are cooked before being
brought to the table, such as potatoes
corn and others
Inc sale OF sewage at lnBleWOOis
where 1t was most generally used for ir-
rigation has been stopped entirely since
September l. The city was threatened
with a damage suit by the Inglewood
Land & Water company unless sewage
irrigation was stopped
While the board will stringently adj
here to its determination to sell no more
sewage for the irrigating of vegetables
eaten raw and is making an investiga-
tion to learn other places along the line
of the sewer where it Is being sold,
used for such purposes, II has no objec-
tion to the city turning an honest penny
by its use for irrigating Vegetables that
are cooked before being brought to tina
table. In fact il is necessary that some
such use be made OF the sewage. as tho
outfall sewer now In use Is entirely too
small TO accommodate the demands

ANOTHER international wedding
has come to grief. Countess Bonl
Castellane, who was formerly Miss
Anna Gould, daughter of the late
Jay Gould, of New York, has sued
for divorce from her husband, Count
Castellsne, of France. She makes
very serious charges against him, and
sensational reports of his conduct
with society woman of Paris are in
circulation. When Miss Gould mar
ried the Count she made an ante-nup-
tial payment of 100000 to his
mother. Her own fortune of ST.
100000 was settled upon her, to re-
vert to her in case of divorce or sepa-
ration. They were married IN 1895
and have three sons. In the frs
four years of their married life tn
Count spent 100000 of his wife j.,
money, and during the same time cob
tracted debts to the amount Of $4,-
100000. He has proven to be a
most notorious spendthrift and is be-
sides untrue and unworthy of a good
womans regard. In all probability
there will be interesting develop
ments later on.
