The selection of the twelfth juror
came as a complete surprise at the
end of long and tedious day-the
eighth of the trial-and Immediately
after this last member of the trial
panel had been sworn in Justice Fitz-
gerald ordered an, adjournment of
court until Monday morning.
District Attorney Jerome, who has
been contending since Thursday after
noon for the removal of one OF the
men now i'll the jury box, but who has
failed to gain the consent of the de-
fendants counsel to change, was still
reluctant as court adjourned Friday
to begin the actual proceedings with
out further opportunity to plead
with Thaw's attorneys. At his re-
quest, therefore, Justice Fitzgerald
ordered all talesmen who have not yet
been examined to be in court Monday
morning ready for jury service in case
any are needed. Mr. Jerome then an
nounced that If there should be no
change in the situation in the mean
time the state would proceed to place
all its direct testimony before the jury
at the Monday morning session.

Saw the AssassInation
of President Lincoln
Diary of DR.. Charles S. Taft, Recently DISCOVERED In,
NeuD York. Is a Remarkable SOUVENIR of the
Great Tragedy of April IA, 1865.

A remarkable souvenir of the assas-
came to light in New York. 1t is the
pocket diary of DR.. Charles S. Taft,
Who formerly resided at No. 273 West
Twenty-second street. In his time
DR.. Taft was an eminent physician
and attended many notables, among
them Governor o. P. Morton of Indi-
ana. But no experience in his life
equaled the one he records in his note
book.
He was present at Ford's Theatre
that fatal night and witnessed all of
the tragedy which ended in the death
of Lincoln. He was one of the first
physicians to reach the wounded pres
ident's side, was present at his death,
and helped to perform the autopsy.
DR.. Taft's personal account of these
occurrences is embodied in his notes,
which evidently were never intended
for publication.
The. diary was found in a pile of
miscellaneous scraps in the baling
room of the Salvation Army Industrial
Home, at No. 52S West Thirtieth
street.
The army home has fifteen wagons,
each having its own territory. These
make daily trips throughout the city
collecting waste material of all kinds
which householders are glad to get
rid of. The wagons discharge their
loads every evening at the warerooms
of the Industrial Home.

MIR. Brooks?" "Oh, no." said the
visiting preacher, I'm Mr.. Brooks"

NOTES OF INTEREST TO
LONG BEACH RESIDENTS
special to The Herald.

LONG BEACH, May 1.-Roy Cox, a
17-year-old, was arrested in West Long
Beach this afternoon by Officer Taylor
on a charge of attempted criminal
assault upon a young girl. He was
sentenced to 100 days in the county
Jail by Justice Brayton, after having
pleaded guilty.
The postoffice business during April
showed an increase of ten per cent
over that of the corresponding month
a year ago. The receipts for the month
just closed amounted to $373S.57.
The hath house company is figuring
on a proposition whereby the Royal
italian band will again be employed to
give free band concerts on the beach
this summer.
The city council last night instructed
the city attorney to draw up an
amendment for the building ordinance
so as to place fewer restrictions on the
buildings which may be erected in fire
district No. 1. Pending this change in
the ordinance several proposed build
ings along the strand are held up.
The delay in the arrival of steel for
the Virginia is holding back the
completion of that hotel. No concrete
is being poured at present. Steel was
shipped from the east some time ago
and is said to be held by the Southern
Pacific at Bakersfield. The hotel COM
pany has tried in vain so far to get
the railway company to hurry the
material along, but without success.

COSTS or RUNNING A HoTEL
-<onETHING.DolAe

1t is stated on excellent authority,
that the manager of the Waldorf
Astoria must receive in cash over $4,000
daily before he can look for cent of
profit.
During the first year Of the existence
of the st. Regis, John Jacob Astor's
Fifth avenue hotel, no less than $4,000
was spent for cut flowers alone. Even
this huge sum is outdone by the florist
bill of the Hotel Astor, which, by reason
of it's countless banquets, expends
about 100000 annually for these fra
grant but fragile decorations.
At the st. Regis some of the expendi-
lures for everyday articles of food tax
the Imagination and strain the credul-
ity. For instance, the butter costs $751;
900 year-more than the salary of the
president of the United States; the egg
bill is $4,000; vegetables, $4,000; fruit.
$42, 1000; poultry, $4,000, and meats,
100000. 1t should be borne in mind that
the st. Regis is not the largest of the
modern hotels in New York, and hence
it's commissariat department is by no
means the most notable from a financial
standpoint.
George w. Boldt, manager of the
Waldorf-Astoria, paid. In a single year,
$150,000 to replace the broken china,
crockery, etc, and 1t is stated that, on
a friend commenting on the magnitude
of this sum, he replied that he did not
think that his employees were so very,
very careless, after all.-Success Maga-

ANXIOUS TO SEE
BRIDGE ERECTED
SEVENTH STREET HIGHWAY
PLANS FINISHED
Hitch Arises Over Grade Crossings,
but City Engineers Have Dual
Designs, So That No Time
Need Be Lost

Plans are being hastened on the pro-
posed Seventh street bridge by the
city engineers department with view
to clearing away all possible difficult
Z ties.
This is the concrete and steel high
way which will cross the Los Angeles
river and possibly span the Santa Fe
and Salt Lake tracks at each end be-
sides.
Until the question OF grade crossings
was raised a few weeks ago IL was
supposed that work could go ahead soon
after July, when the city's revenue Will
be considerably increased because OF
the increased taxes due to the new
realty assessments. Plans were drawn
for a river bridge. However, some diff
ficulties have now been injected into
the situation, the principal one being
the added cost Of a viaduct or high
bridge extending over the tracks.
The railroads are willing to have q
high viaduct carrying all traffic over
their tracks built, but are unWllling 10
nav the extra expense. If high brldge
is = built arr moline. running several
,blocks each way must be secured to
eserve for approaches. This involves
condemning and buying much property.
Salt Lake line officials are opposed
to the approaches, as these Will ADD
to the teaming expense, the Salt Lake
yards being nearby. They will also
make detours necessary to get in and
out of the yards via the bridge.
Present plans as designed by the
bridge department of the city call for
a three-arch concrete structure with
grade crossings Supplementary plans
have been prepared for viaduct also
The bridge committee of the city
council is anxious 70 have work pro-
ceed, but is checked temporarily by
the grade controversy.
No street cars are operated over the
street at that point now, but a fran
chise exists that will be used as soon
as a bridge is built. The bridge in
cludes trolley, wagon and foot space.
East siders are anxious to have the
work started while realty men are spe
cially interested, as they believe new
wholesale and warehouse district will
be created at the east end of the bridge
soon because of the manufacturing and
switching growth of Los Angeles.

HOUSING LAW
WORKS HARDSHIP
FUNDS MUST BE PROVIDED FOR
MODEL COURTS
Mexlcans, Forced Out of lnsanitary
Dwellings, Must Find Best Quar-
tiers They Can Till condi-
tions Are Riahted

With the enforcement of the new
housing law which does away with the
old style of house courts much used
by Mexicans, many of the former IN
mates are driven to extremltles IN
finding places of shelter. Only rew
up-to-date courts have been erected
TO take care of the unhoused occu-
pants.
AS many of the Mexicans are accus-
toned to outdoor life the hardship is
not great to those who cannot get ac-
commodations in quarters built ac-
cording toNthe new law.
Later, however, city officials say,
some steps must be taken to start COM
panies to built quarters on low
rental basis.
One of the requirements of the new
law is that all such places of habita-
ton must have wooden floors. An
other insists on suitable sanitary regu-
lations. These had been lacking in the
old-style courts. which were usually
built behind billboards and which
averaged about 12x12 feet space for
each family.
Members of the housing commission,
realizing the conditions that confront
the ousted dwellers, have asked their
weather. friends to take some steps
to provide humble though sanitary
homes for the 1000 or more persons
who formerly lived in these courts. The
income will not be large, but capital
thus invested will be in the nature of
public-spirited service. The courts are
the nearest approach to slums which
Los Angeles has had, but they have
now been checked in Mayor Harper's s
administrations
