A pet phrase of those who advocate
the higher education of women 1e-
male suffrage and other forms OF
woman's rights is that they should
have all these things in order that
they may be more independent and
Give their own lives" instead of be-
ing mere appendages to the lives OF
others. Now, argues the Charleston
News and Courier, the marriage sta
tistics prove very conclusively that
the greater number of women by no
means desire to lead their own lives
and that they are quite content to be
"appendages: for in this time OF
the world-at least in this country
1t is a very rare thing for woman to
marry, except with her own free will
and choice, so that the inference is,
if they were SO very DESTROYS to be
free and independent they would not
And, just as the child is sometimes
told that it is impossible for him to
"eat his cake and have it, too" SO
women cannot be dependent and in
dependent at the same time, and by
far the greater majority of them
choose the former condition. II
woman is competent to stand alone
in the world, and if she can make her
own living or has Independent means,
why, in the name Of common sense
does she voluntarily surrender all
those privileges and put the matri-
monial yoke upon her neck, and VOW
to "love, honor and obey" in the reck-
less way she does? But once she has
made this choice, she should wear her
letters gracefully and forever after
hold her peace about living her own
life.

In Uncle Remus' Magazine the edi-
tor filings his spear boldly at popular
idols. What he says of Success Is
being said by others, but by no one
with more simple directness: BUSH
ness. as we know it to-day, is purely
artificial, though it pretends to stand
for both civilization and progress.
We hear a good deal about Progress:
it is held over the heads of the con-
seryatiye in the semblance Of big
stick, but there is nothing crueller
or more sinister, for progress is moth
ing more than the multiplication OF
the machinery and methods by which
certain classes and people increase
their material gains. The necessity
of trade and barter has always eX-
listed. and it is one Of the simplest
and most obvious necessities OF life:
but modern business is the result OF
a partnership between greed and
gain, and it consists in nothing but
an abnormal cleverness in assem-
bling and dispensing pieces of paper
that stand for nothing, and in mass
ing the details of large and unnec-
essary transactions. Whole sections
of the country are at the small end
of the horn when these transactions
occur. Regarded as an exhibition OF
the schemes by which men overreach
one another in cunning and duplicity.
it is very clever indeed. 1t il
frankly called the game" by those
who engage in it, and this is indeed
the proper name for it. According
to modern standards, the success or
failure of a man depends altogether
on his ability-if ability can have SO
Door a rating-to make money and
hoard It, to gamble with the re-
sources Of the people. and to make
great deals whereby millions Of hui
man beings are made to suffer. while
perhaps not more than ten men seay

SORRY THEY PAID
SEWER ASSESSMENTS
OWNERS cLAMoR FOR RETURN
OF THEIR MONEY
Judge Hutton's Decision Saturday Did
Not Hinder Further Collections at
City Hall, Hence Property
Owners Feel Aggrieved

Parties who have been paying sewer
assessments this week at the city hall
stormed the sewer assessments office yes
terday clamoring for the return of their
money.
They had Just heard of Judge Hutton's
decision, made Saturday, in the Mountain
View case, and seemed to think that city
officials had taken an unfair advantage
of them in taking this money after the
courts decision had invalidated the as
sessments.
The city attaches make defense, say
ing that the decision strictly applies only
to the Mountain View case-that other
assessments are legal until proved other
wise.
Contractors are worried over the fact
that the decision is becoming generally
known. All those against whom assess
ments are charged will hesitate to pay
while litigation is pending.
The serious blow expected is that all
layed at a time when sewers will be de-
loyed at a time when sewers are worst
needed in Los Angeles.

TALE OF TRAGEDY
RETOLD IN COURT
MAZZARlNo LATURco CHARGED
WITH MURDER
Pretty Sister Of Slain Girl Gives Tes-
timony Covering Story Of Love,
Jealousy and Attempt
at Revenge

Mazzarino Laturco, charged with the
murder Of little 5-year-old Mary San
Marco, was brought into Judge Smiths
department. OF the superior court yester-
day. where jury trial on the case was
begun.
Pretty Josephine San Marco, the l6-
year-old sister of the murdered child.
occupied the witness stand all yesterday
morning and told in minute detail the
circumstaces surrounding the shooting,
while Attorney Abbott for the defense
drew diagram of the San Marco home
upon the blackboard illustrating all the
points in the testimony.
The little girl was standing by the
table in the sitting room when the fatal
bullets, probably intended for Joe Dis
parti the rival of Laturco for the hand
of the Italian girl, entered her side
causing her death the following day.
Laturco was the sweetheart of Jose-
phine Sar Marco before Desparti came
upon the scene. Then her affections for
Laturco waned and she began TO look
with favor on the new suitor. She was
in the room with Desparti and his mother
and sister and her own mother and sister
when the fatal shots were fired.
Sister Tells of Tragedy
Her black Italian eyes snapped with
anger in the direction of the handsome
Italian boy when she told of the killing
of her little sister. When she told about
the trouble between Desparti and the
father of Mazzarino Francisco Laturco.
which followed the arrival of Desparti
on the premises, she stoutly maintained
that the "old man. was the aggressor
and that Desparti refused, to answer his
insults. r ~
The bullets fired went through the g.ifss
of the lower part of the window. ahs
witness stated that there were two hrl-
let holes and scratch on the wall which
might have been caused by bullet.
In a purported confession of Mazzar1iit
Laturco he is said to have stated tlNi
his father commanded him to kill the
Whole San Marco family, threatening to
cut his throat If he refused. The father
told a different story. laying all the
blame on his son.
Judge G. c. McComas, acting head of
the district attorneys office, conducted
the case for the people. The hearing will
be continued Monday

the men now held under arrest In Los
Angeles on a charge of violating the

The hearing was held before the United
States commissioner yesterday AFTERNOON
The prisoners We're unable to deposit
the amount of bail demanded and the
hearing on the petition of Oscar Lawler
that they be turned over to the United
states authorities in Arizona was con-
tinued until October 80 at $3.50 o'clock.
More than hundred Mexicans
thronged the corridors in the Ta1o puild-
ing where the hearing was held. Many OF
them were women, and all carried huse
punches of flowers.
AS the alleged revolutionists passed
through the halls on their way to the
office of the commissioner cheers rent
the air as their supporters reacned ior-
ward to grasp their hands
Many of those who were present tried
IN enter the commissioners office, but
This privilege was denied them.
Attorneys for the MeXicans petitioned
that the bail be fixed at sum which
could be supplied by the prisoners, and
stated that they had committed no crime
against the peace of this country which
would demand they be held under heavy
bonds 1t was requested that the bail
for each man be fixed at $780, but the
commissioner refused to consider the
motion saying he believed the charges
demanded heavier bonds.
The petition to have the men taken TO
Arizona for trial will be hotly contested
by the attorneys for the men, as they
say it is probable agents OF the Mexican
Sovernment have some plan to have the
alleged revolutionists spirited across the
border,
