WILL Ply FOR
DEAD ANIMALS
Unnamed Bidder Offers to Take Com
tract Off City's Hands and
Pay Revenue for the
Privilege

If the city wants to. it can in future
make a profit out Of it's dead animal
industry, on which 1t now pays hum
dreds of dollars monthly to contract
ors.
Attorneys Earle & Creede wrote the
city clerks office as follows yesterday
Regarding the dead animal contract,
we have to say that if you will cancel
the present contract under and by
which the city is paying out enormous
sums of money each month unneces-
sarily we have a client who will
take the dead animal contract under
the restrictions now required of the
present contractor and will pay for the
privilege of handling said contract, so
that instead of the city being out a
monthly expense of $500 to $1,000 for
taking care of dead animals in the city
there will be an income to the city
each month.

PRETTY WIDOW SCRATCHES BACK:
JOSEPH REFUSES TO MARRY HER

Mrs. Lehman went to Long Beach
from Los Angeles seven months ago
to become Chanda's housekeeper, eX-
pecting, she claims, to become his
wife. According to her story she
tended his chickens, sold poultry about
town for him and in addition to other
kindly offices frequently scratched his
back. All these services, however, ap-
pear to have failed to make the de-
sired impression.
Chanda has 1850 in a Long Beach
bank. An attachment suit was brought
by local attorney 1t became neces-
sary for Chanda to post bond of 1925
to protect his money, and this he did,
Henrietta Chanda, from whim he was
divorced some time ago, signing his
bond.
The woman's attorney says that
when the case comes to trial some in
teresting testimony will be introduced,
several prominent Long Beach people
having knowledge of the compact
made between Mrs. Lehman and the
man who has refused to marry her.

Chief of Police Kern is one of those

city council supply committee with
some worry.
Under the rule, which has just been
mailed to all city officials, acquisitions
must be procured for all supplies and
the council must approve them.

break down, a horse throw shoe, or
a motorcycle break a part" said Chief
Kern. 1--WE would be paralyzed in

TRIES SUICIDE
IN COUNTY JAIL
Aged Demented Man Makes Deter
mined Effort to End His Life.
VIII Be Sent to
Patton

Charles Cramer, an aged and de-
mented inmate of the county Jail, Will
today be examined before the board of
insanity commissioners in department
2 of the superior court upon a warrant
sworn out yesterday by sheriff's officers
after the old man had several times at
tempted to commit suicide in his cell at
the jail.
Cramer escaped from the Glendale
dered about the country. While posse
of more than a score attendants of the
hospital were searching for him he
was arrested by a constable at Toluca
and a charge of disturbing the peace
preferred against him.
When he came up for examination
nothing intelligible could be obtained
from him and he was sentenced to
thirty days Imprisonment in the county
Jail.
He had served less than a week of
the time of his Incarceration when yes
terday morning before any Of the pris-
oners of the Jail were awake he arose
and tied his clothing together and
threw one end of the string thus formed
over one of the bars of his cell. He
then placed his head in the moose
formed at the other end and attempted
in a crude manner to hang himself,
Several times he made the attempt, but
because of his weakness he failed, and
at last fell exhausted to the floor of his
cell, where he was later discovered by
the guards.
During the day he was sent to the
county hospital, and today. he will be
examined and probably be sent to Pat
ton, where he can be constantly watched
and any attempt at self-destruction
fruStra ted.

TANK C0LLAPSEs;
OIL FILLS Street
Big Receptacle at Beaudry Avenue
and Sunset Boulevard Bursts,
and Sticky Black Fluid
Floods District

With a crash that was heard for sew
eral blocks, an oil tank belonging 10
the Los Angeles-Pacific company, at
Sunset boulevard and Beaudry avenue,
collapsed at 2:30 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon, throwing pieces of the tank a
distance of fifty feet.
A flood of oil swept down Beaudry
street to Temple, gradually losing force
and finally coming to a stop in de-
pressions in cutters and at street cross
ings All the available workmen at
once became active trying to stop the
flow which they finally succeeded in
doing.
The tank had just been filled and con-
tained 1000 barrels of oil. The work
men stated that the cause of the COL
lapse was due to the fact that the
hoops were fastened too tightly. The
tank had been nearly empty for some
time and the hoops had been tightened
as much as was possible, the recent
rains swelled the slaves and when the
tank was filled the pressure broke the
hoops After the first one gave way
the remaining hoops seemed all to
break at once, dashing the oil over the
embankment into the street.
Much of the oil remained in the hole
in which the tank was held, but the
loss is estimated at $500.

GIRL SUES NEWSPAPER
~ FOR ALLEGED DAMAGES

Suit for, $4,000 damages was begun
yesterday before jury in Judge Hous-
er's department of the superior court
by Miss Mabel Claire Erwin, who sues
the Record Publishing company on an
allegation of libel.
Miss Erwin was formerly an employe
of the Record. During the early part
of last July she was sent out to obtain
an interview from All Wing, the only
Chinese prize fighter in the world.
Sometime afterward, according to al
legations, All Wing returned to Los
Angeles to fight another battle. He
knew no one in the city and he wanted
a press notice. He wired Miss Erwin,
asking her to again interview him.
Miss Erwin failed to see him, but in
the evening issue of the Record a story
appeared in which "Queen Nab" as
Miss Erwin was called, was the heroine
and All Wing the hero, and story Of
Miss Erwin failing to meet the Chinese
at the train, and touching scene Of
their alleged meeting later at the Rec
ord office was drawn.
Miss Erwin has brought suit on the
strength of the story which she alleges
placed her In very bad light, and in
timated that she was the sweetheart
OF the Celestial.
The management Of the Record sim
ply deny that there was any malice or
injury intended Miss Erwin, that the
story was written I'm a spirit of fun.
The case will probably last all today
before any verdict is reached.

Mrs. Pryor, Boarding House

Mrs Nancy Pryor, a buxom widow

she asked from Edward d. McArdle,
whom she charged with breach OF
The woman asked for $4,000 and re-
ceived / cent, rather rare decision,
but ut the time of its making Judge
Monroe, who tried the case, remarked
that If there had been a smaller de-
nomination of American coin he would
have given an even smaller verdict.
Mrs. Pryor alleged that she put an
I'D I'm a newspaper asking for a hus-
band, and that McArdle, a tall, thin
scotchman, with a bald head bordered
by q fine fringe of red fuzz, was the
m6st likely candidate, since he admit
sed having property.
She said that they had become en-
rpped He denied the allegation. He
also denied having kissed her, but coy
ly admitted that at one time he had
rubbed her on the back in loving
manner. He further testified that when
he learned that Mrs. Pryor had been
divorced he knew it would be against
his religion to marry her, but that he
continued to call on her because he
had several customers in her boarding
house and he wanted to keep the trade.
Mrs. Pryor stated that she had been
seriously wronged in that the defend
ant had promised to marry and had on
the date set for the wedding deserted
her and married another. She accused
him of having kissed her on one occa-
sion and the defendant Indignantly
shook his head.
1T don't see how you could have been
damaged by the loss of that" said
Judge Monroe as he looked scornfully
at the defendant. You were making
as much money as he was. 1t was not
a case of love; it was simply an effort
to be married at any cost. Your pros
pective husband here seems to be val
ueless and would probably have been
unhappy with you.
Nevertheless there has been a tech
nical breach of promise and L will re-
turn a verdict in your favor. You ask
for $4,000. You have been damaged
only one penny's worth and damages
will be awarded you for the sum of one
cent"

Do You Want to Know
What You Swallo W ?

There Is a growing sentiment in this
country In favor OF MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t Is but natural that one
should have some interest In the compo--
sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow. whether 1t be food. drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation OF his medl-
cines, DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has "taken time by the ,forelock," as II

leading medicines, the Golden Medical
Discovery the popular liver invigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also of his "Favorlte Prescrip-
tion" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part OF DR.. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well known medicines
are composed OF, completely disnrnied all
harping critics who have heretofore un-
Justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities OF all the several
schools OF practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
OF the several ingredients which enter into
DIR. Plerce's medicines. A copy OF this
