Only city jobs are furnished free 10

Along East Second street, where hum

agencies massed there. it takes pleading
and cajoling to induce scores OF the
loiterers to take jobs.
The cry for help from all parts Of the
Pacific coast is loud and long, but the
men prefer to pick their places of activity.
The bureau people say that as they do
not ship out help anywhere they get
somewhat different class than the agen-
cies which furnish men to construction,
logging, mining and other camps as well
as the ranches.
They say emphatically, however, that
willing men can always find job In
Southern California and such is the case
today.
Some of the men who applied yesterday
for city positions have recently come
down from Alaska. They said that the
last of the ships are now coming south

denounced as absolutely false the story
of his wife regarding his carousals with
other women. He claimed she had been
the aggressor in the quarrel and had
thrown a bucket of water on him, after
which she attempted to choke him. He
then charged his wife with misbehavior.
In rebuttal his wife denied with indig-

WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE BLOCKADE?
CASE AGAINST WALTER COSBY
AIRED IN COURT
Well Known Automobile Dealer Denies
He Held a Grudge Against
the Railway COM
pany

The case against Walter Cosby an
automobile dealer at 3003 Figueroa street,
charged with blockading the streets on
August 6, occupied practically the entire
session of Justice Freder1cksons court
yesterday, and when court adjourned at
5:15 o'clock the taking of testimony had
not been concluded. A recess was held
until $3.50 this morning
About thirty men were examined be-
fore jury could be secured and it was
not until 11:30 o'clock that the examina-
tion of witnesses was begun.
Three attorneys represented Cosby.
Attorneys representing the street rail-
way company were also present to pro-
tect its interests.
The case against Cosby grows out of
dispute on August 6, arising over the
right of way on Fourth street at point
where the Westlake, Redondo and Santa
trip to Los Angeles. Cosby was riding
in his automobile at the time and re-
fused to back his machine in order that
car No. 223 on the Santa Monica line
could proceed. He claimed it was the
dirty of the motorman to back his car,
but in his testimony Motorman Shoup
said he was following out rules laid down
by the company in refusing to do So
He also testified that he was upheld in
his actions by Claim Agent Finkenstein
and General Superintendent Sherman of
the Los Angeles-Pacific railway.
Mr. Cosby was the last witness ex-
amined yesterday. He said there was
not enough room to drive his automobile
between the car and the curbing on the
right side of the street. The street on
that side, he sald was also badly crowded
with vehicles and people Notwithstand-
ing reports to the contrary, Cosby main
tanned that he felt no malice toward the
street car company over an unsettled
claim for damages year and half ago.
He admitted having had trouble with the
street car company before the occurrence
that led to the present trial, but said
none of his acts were for the deliberate
purpose of annoying the company.
Counsel for Cosby says t.-..- tomorrow
he Will introduce the ordinance to show
that the street car company violated the
provisions of its franchise in this case.

The Modesty Of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the
indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex-
aminations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential in the treatment Of diseases OF
women. Yet, If help can be had, it is
better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble
is that so often the woman undergoes all
the annoyance and shame for nothing.
