annual visit to Southern California,

work they have to do in this Vicinity
A conference with Ben E. Ward rela-
tive to the county assessment was the
chief item of business, and during the
rest of their weeks stay the equalizers
will go through the same program.
It is not expected that the assessment
for Los Angeles will be materially in

much chance that lower figure can be
reached. County Assessor Ward, pas

RISKS HIS LIFE
FOR MORPHINE
DRUG USER JUMPS FROM A
WINDOW
Declares He Would Rather Die Than
Live Without opiates and
Tries to Escape from
Court Room

Preferring probable death to serving
a sentence of six months in the city
jail without morphine, c. w. Johnson,
formerly a Southern Pacific conductor,
leaped head first through an open win
dow in Police Justice Chambers court
room yesterday morning. He struck the
roof of the receiving hospital and from
there jumped to the ground. twenty
feet below.
The injured man was picked up a
few moments later by Patrolman Mich
olas and taken to the receiving hospi-
tai, where 1t was found he had suffered
fractured shoulder and shoulder
blade, a dislocated left ankle and prob
able internal injuries.
Johnson had just been sentenced to
1870 days In the city jail. After receiv-
ing sentence the man sat down and
covered his face with his hands. Sud-
denly he leaped to his feet, ran to the
window few feet away and jumped
out to almost certain death.
Johnson has long been known In the
police station and has served many a
sentence on the charge of vagrancy.
When the man was brought to the
court room yesterday morning Justice
Chambers said he thought a long SEN
tence would do him good, as he would
be unable to get morphine.
Johnson declared he would rather die
than so for nearly six months without

ing the Huntington roads. In the past
the local trolley corporation has been
left to the county assessor, but now
that it is an intercounty road the state
board will try and look after 1t.
Whether the state board of equaliza-
tion is acting within its jurisdiction In
assessing the trolley lines is yet to be
decided. In San Francisco recently it
was decided by the lower courts that
trolley lines, whether intercounty or
otherwise, belonged to the county as
SCISSOR, but the appeal that was taken
from this decision and which Is at
present before the supreme court Will
decide the matter.
After leaving here the equalizers will
pay visits to Orange, Riverside, San
Diego and San Bernardino counties,
after which they will return to Sacra-
mento in time to prepare the July re-
port.

WOMAN SENTENCED;
MAN IS RELEASED
Pretty Spanish Girl Must Serve Thirty
Days, While Her Companion
In Trouble Gets Out
on Bail

Jennie Goldstein, who despite the He
braic name she gives is a very pretty
Spanish girl was sentenced to thirty
days in jail by Justice Frederickson
without the alternative of fine on a
charge Of vagrancy. The girl took her
punishment philosophically and had no
protests to offer.
At the same time A. Peelman, a junk
dealer, who was arrested in connection
with the case which had dragged the
woman In the CLUTCHES of the law,
was released from Imprisonment on de-
poslt of $50 for his appearance in court
to answer charge of petit larceny
Peelman and one j. Simon are itin-
Grant junk dealers, and il is alleged
by Patrolmen Walsh, Hickok and Muir
ply, who made the arrests, that the
two men and the woman were con-
cerned in a number of burglaries which
have occurred in the University district
recently.
At the time of Peelman's arrest ST.
mon escaped with a number Of bullets
from the pollcemen's revolvers lending
wings to his speedy feet, and he has
not been found since. though the city
has been dragged for him from one
end to the other.

BEATTY, New, April 22.-The last
rail has been laid on the Tonopah-Bull-
frog road into Beatty and the railroad
day for April 26 is assured.
The Brock line was short of steel, but
the Clark interests were anxious for the
connecting of the two lines in order to
handle the Shriner traffic and loaned
the Brock line enough steel to build In
the last few miles from the supply
camp. The connection Of the two roads
will be made at Beatty, where the sta
tions viii stand within a stones throw
of each other, but the Brock line will
be extended to Bullfrog, where the ter
minals will be set up.
Agents of the Beatty townsite people
are arranging a great railroad day, and
tickets will be good returning until May

cisco, Goldheld, Tonopah and way sta
tions.
Entertainment Plans
In preparation for the handling of
traffic on railroad day the Brock line is
preparing to use the Clark sidings for
