SHORT STATURE SAVES
VICTIM FROM ARREST
Struck by Freight Train, Thought to
Be Negroes AsaiIant When Taken
to the Receiving
Hospital

James Mannaugh. laborer, was struck
by a Southern Pacific freight engine near
Burbank yesterday morning and was
badly frightened.
The accident upset him considerably.
but did not scare him nearly SO much as
the shock he received in the receiving
hospital, where he was taken to have his
injuries dressed.
For some time the Los Angeles detec-
tives have been looking for man who
struck an aged negro Friday afternoon,
resulting in such serious injury to the old
man that he is now dying at the county
hospital.
Mannaugh answered the description ex-
actly, and the detectives could hardly
wait for the doctors to dress the injured
mans wounds before taking possession OF
him. Mannaugh was more excited than
the group of detectives who surrounded
his cot, and was vociferous in his denials
of any knowledge of any negro.
Finally when Mannaugh was able to
stand up his measurement was taken and
he was found to be fully five inches
shorter than the man desired. For once
in his life he was proud of his small
stature. and left the station during the
afternoon with the determination never to
get within speaking distance of negro.

CONVENT GIRL WEARS
TROUSERS; NOW HAPPY
GIories Since Leaving Convent School
In Her Emancipation from Trou-

Skirts

Special to The Herald.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 10.-In
their secret hearts most women want to
wear trousers. They may ike the grace
of long skirt for indoor affairs, but
when it is a question of getting some
where there is seldom one who does not
hate the cloth that flaps around her
ankles and envy men for their freedom
from it,
Dorothy Poquette, a convept girl, who
lives on a big estate among the nils
above West Boylston, in Worcester coun-
ty, Massachusetts,, has dared to defy the
accepted form of dress. BY way or
showing what trousers will do for per-
son 1t is reliably stated that she thinks
nothing at all of cutting up cord of
wood. That is just one of her little
amusements. She hunts, too; fishes,
walks a great deal, rides horseback with
or without a saddle, and automobiles-all
in trousers.
Miss Poquettes manner of taking to
mems attire shows good deal of cour-
age, as we'll as thoughtfulness, for
girl.

occurred to me that skirts were a draw

women dressed alike, and 1 followed the
men in their upward career as they flung
away a kilt here and q cloak there, and
1t seemed to me that every time they
discarded a few yards of cloth they
gained in productiveness and general su-
periority. OF course, there have been
changes in women's attire, too, but they
have kept their skirts-and look at the
result.

He came to this country seven years
ago and shortly afterward married. Later,
when his friend Joined him in Philadel-
phia, Di Cicco made him stop at his
home.
Di Cicco had contracted tuberculosis,
and when he saw that his death was in
evitable he called his young wife to his
bedside
"When I was a boy Di Mattio saved my
life" he said. He has been my friend
all my life. Before / die promise me that
you will marry him."
The bride, who had grown to esteem
Di Mattio highly, readily promised. Dt
Cicco then made his friend agree that
when nine months had passed after his

REPENTANCE COMES
TOO LATE TO TRUST
BLAIR SAYS ICE COMBINE CAN'T
SAVE ITSELF
Prearranged Raise Sufficient for Pros.
ecuton-Grand Jury VIII In
vestigate Tomorrow, Hear
Ing Witnesses

Late repentance will not save the Ice
companies if 1t is found they were guilty
of conspiring to raise the price of Ice,
said Deputy District Attorney Frank Blair
yesterday, when delighted consumers
called him up on the telephone and glee-
fully announced the ice combine had sent
them bills much lower than they had
expected on the new schedules that went
into effect August 1.
With the investigation that will take
place before the grand jury Monday,
when forty witnesses whom Deputy Blair
has summoned will appear, the combine
has apparently tried to nullify its action
in raising the price of ice in the warmest
weather.
But Blair declares the action of raising
the price, If it is proved that the COM
panies were in combination to do so, is
enough for the prosecution, and convic-
tions can be as readily secured as If
the companies had collected full amount
from all their customers.

of libraries need have no fear about

of the situation.
Miss Blandys entry into the race on
several occasions almost caused walkouts
in the public library. On at least three
different occasions delegations of at least
a dozen of the women employees of the
library have appeared before the COM
mission to protest against Miss Blandy
making a waiver of residence in order
to be able to take the examination. They
said it was unfair to Californians.

the finals are Miss Katherine NJ. Hilton,
