It seems that the hats I had just made them was a year old in style, so they gave me up and told me to go, and I went. That shows the diff ference between them savage wives and the civilized.r

 T wasn't thinking of that" said Eliph Hewitt. "I was thinking that If a man had been furnishing a civi- lized wife with last years style hats for Easter he wouldn't be able to go away if he wanted to, after she got through with him."

 Side Bakeries.
 New Lork, March 29.--Matzoths ap- pear upon the table of every orthodox Hebrew this evening, when the Feast of the Passover begins, and for eight days the faithful are debarred from using leavened food and fermented liquors.
 "Pasch." the Feast of the Passover is in coommemoration of the night when the Lord, smiting the first-born of the Egyptians. passed over" the houses of the Children of Israel. The celebration is always held during the full moon of the month known as Mis- san.
 There is much ceremony connected with the Sedar, or opeing festivity this evening. and there Is ceremony also in connection with cleasing the homes, storing away the ordinary table and Kitchen utensils, so that the ones dedi- cated to- service for the Passover time may not be contaminated. There are hundreds of quaint observances ih con- nection with the festival, but the best known feature is the unleavened bread -mathoth--the baking of which has kept hundreds of people employed for many months in about forty bakeries in the metropolis.
 One large establishment on the Fla st Side turns out for the Passover season about 2.50O.0 pounds of matzoth and matzoth meal, which is made by pull

 It was a case of Brightss disease.

 In many of the Jewish homes the un- leavened bread is placed on the table only as a symbol. and in the homes of all the reformed Jews bread is not en- tirely dispensed with in Passover time.

ALLEGED BILL RAISER
Is BROUGHT TO TRIAL

William II. Carroll, who has been in
Jail for more than a year, is on trial
before Judge Wellborn of the United
States court charged with passing
counterfeit money. He is being de-
Tended by Earl Rogers and prosecuted
by A. I. Mccormick, United States
deputy attorney.
The morning session of the court yes
terday was devoted to the calling of
jurors. Carrolps sister was the only
woman in the room, and 1t seems his
only friend in trouble. She is quite
young, but from the interest she took
in the proceedings it Is evident that
they are good comrades.
Carroll was arrested December g.,
1905, by John F. Cronin, a secret service
agent on the charge of altering and
passing two 81 bills. He was indicted
on four counts, two of which charged
that he had a bill in his possession
which he had raised from 81 to SIS and
passed on Mrs. j. L. Morris. The other
two counts relate to bill 1t is alleged

CORONER LANTERMAN
PASSES BUSY DAY

Five inquests were disposed of by
Coroner Lanterman yesterday morning.
Three of the verdicts were that death
had been caused by suicide, one that
death was accidental while the fifth
was that death had been caused by
pneumonia.
Oscar Brown, a recent arrival from
Chicago, killed himself by shot in the
head with a revolver Sunday night
William A. Thompson cut himself in
the abdomen with knife Sunday and
died at the county hospital Monday
night.
Vernon Hunt, street car conductor,
shot himself Sunday and died instantly.
His son is now on his way to Los
Angeles for the body. The verdicts in
these three cases were suicide.
M. F. Guthrey, the Redondo black
smith who was killed by being run
over by street car Sunday, met his
death through an accident, according
to the verdict which was brought in.
Peter Scanlon, the man who was
found dead in bed in his room at 1241a

to the highest courts.
Richard Montgomery, G. H. X; Lin
ford Lull, Phi Sigma Don Goodwin,
Phi Alpha Ebert Bolts, Phi Omega,
and Don O'Melveny, P. d. G., will see
to the fraternity interests. They deny
all the 'vlews" of the board as stated
in their reports Monday night, and de-
clare that the fraternities have violated
no rules, do not create snobbishness,
and do not enter into school politics.
Several fraternity brothers, who are
now at the bar graduates of former
years, will defend their younger
brothers to the last.
A sore point with the frats is that
the sororities are also included In the
sweeping order. The girls, they argue,
have done nothing to deserve punish
ment, and the rule abolishing their
societies is especially uncalled for.
Professor W. II. Housh. principal OF
the high school. regrets the fact that
the boys are objecting so loudly to the
ruling. Professor Housh said: This
action is not taken against the boys
as individuals nor for anything they
have done. 1t is aimed at a system Of
exclusive societies in democratic schools
and is being taken all over the country.
Possibly If there had been no local
trouble action would have been de-
ferred little longer, but 1t was in
eVitable."

STUDENTS RESIST
ORDER OF BOARD
Members of School Fraternities Will
Fight for Lives of organiza-
tons by Appealing to
Courts

The rulings Of the board of education
decreeing the death of the fraternities
is not meeting with universal APPROVAL
from the frat men. In fact, their plans
at present embrace a strenuous battle
against extinction. The board declares
that If its request is not Immediately
ana cheerfully complied with" the Of
tenders will be excluded from holding
school offices, from representing the
school In all activities, and from vot-
ing in all school affairs.
This order, the fraternities' lawyers
declare, is beyond the jurisdiction Of
the board. James Copp, one of the at
torneys, said he would fight it on this
ground. w. A. Spalding, secretary of
the civil service commission, denies
the right of the board of education to
interfere with the school children's
home activities.
Five representatives of the leading
frats have already begun the work Of
defense. A large fraternity fund is al

DENY PATROLMAN
CLEARANCE PAPERS

The civil service commissioners yes
terday refused to take up the case of
former Patrolman T. M. Cristovitch,
der to clear his record.
Cristovich was discharged from the
force in connection with charges made
by certain women. He denied the truth
of these and still denies the allegations.
He has since advanced himself in other
work, and as he is a director of an In
vestment company wishes to have his
record clear.
The police board. on the statement of
Attorney Todd, decided to recommend
to the civil service commission that he
be reinstated If possible in order that
he might resign Immediately and have
a good record. The commission yester-
day denied the request, as it lacked the
power to take such action.
