ny with Ida Morris, May Lane, and
two men. The charge was running a

rested" she declared, and rushed for
a small shelf in the corner of the
room. Hill though she preparing to
secure her hat to go to the police
station, never suspecting she really
meant self-destrucion.

she tilted il to her lips. Hill rushed
to her side and knocked it from her
hands. She attempted to grab it up
again but the policeman prevented
her. Picking up the box the police
man discovered that it contained
rough OF rats.
Refusing a physicians service Bir-
die Allen rode to the city hall in the
patrol wagon, and was becoming
rapidly i'll all the time. She had sue
ceeded in swallowing but little of the
poison, and Police Judge d. A. Cross
recognized her to appear in court
this morning. She was taken home
and advised to secure physician.
Vomiting fits seized her, and in this
way the greater portion of the mix
ture swallowed was thrown from the
stomach. This morning she was una
bic to appear at court. Physicians
who attended her after she was fore
ed to go to bed. believe she will be
able to stand trial by Monday.

Jefferson BouIet'ard Is
To Be Built After All

King Brooks, prime mover in the i'm
provement idea, has been at work
bringing the property owners togeth-
er again, and today Manager Bleeck-
er. of the traction company, acceded
to plan suggested that, It is believed
will be acceptable to the property
owners and the city.
The Paducah Traction company
will not double track at once, but a
24-foot grass plot VIII be constructed
down the middle of the boulevard
with a 20 foot driveway on either
side, fanked with lawn strips and the
sidewalks.
Originally the property owners
were to contribute co cents the llneal
foot toward the curbing and cutters
for the middle strip. but City Eugln-
eer Washington has determined that
cutters are not necessary. It was
also planned that the park commits
sion should fill in the strip, and the
lack of available funds made this
preliminary work OF indefinite begin
ming. Now it is proposed that the
money contributed by the property
owners go toward filling in the strip,
while the traction company makes
up the balance and pays for the curb
ing.
The matter will be taken befo 'e
the general council without delay.

OIL COMPANIES
FILE PROTESTS
PREPARE TO FIGHT FIGURES OF
CITY ASSESSOR
Mexican Petroleum Company of Dell

Company Formally Object to
Assessments Levied

Two of the big Los Angeles oil conpa-
MES yesterday filed their protest against
pending assessments of City Assessor
Walter Mallard with the city clerk for
consideration by the board of equaliza-
ton.
AS representatives of both companies
have intimated that If the assessments
stand they will remove their offices from
Southern California, there is considerable
interest as to what the city council,
which holds the power of review, will do.
Edward L. Doheny, by attorney, files
a protest on behalf of the Mexican Petro-
leum company, limited of Delaware,
which is assessed on solvent credits
due" $2,316,S6o. Mr.. Doheny as cause of
protest AYERS:
"That petitioner did not on the first
Monday in March, 1907, have any solvent
credit due from said company of the
amount stated, or any amount; that said
company did not at said time, OF any
time, owe this petitioner said amount,
or any amount, and said assessment is
therefore upon property which had no
existence at said time, and is therefore
void, and petitioner therefore asks that
said assessment be stricken from the
rolls
John D. Bicknell makes a sirnilar COM
plant on behalf of the Western Union
Oil company. He says:
There is no description of this al
legged personal franchise other than fran
chise,' and what franchise was meant by
the assessor the petitioner is not advised,
and your petitioner has no franchise sub
ject to assessment, and that the said as
sessment was made without any author
ity of law whatever.
your petitioner is ready and willing to
pay the taxes upon its other personal
property described in the said assess
ment, but as to the said franchise it has
no such personal property and no fran
chise of any kind subject to the said as
sessment as made by the city ASSESSOR
Of Los Angeles, and that the valuation
fixed upon the said property OF s1,42s,555
is a valuation placed upon nothing"
