shows taoice many contributors and three times
as many dollars in funds subscribed at present
as there has eVer before been subscribed at this
time of the year, and this in the face of large
falling off in contributions from several leading
contributors If this splendid spirit keeps up, and
pledges are paid promptly, large campaign will
be put up.

CITY employees VARY IN
TRANSPORTATION ACCOUNTS
COUNCIL WILL MAKE HARD-AND-
FAST RULE
Autos, Horses, Motorcycles and Blcy-
cIes Needed to Convey Depart
ment Attaches and Expense
Confusion Results

Though the city council has for some
time been at work trying to reach a
standard as to the limit on transporta-
ton expense accounts for city employees,
no agreement has yet been reached.
Some employees have automobiles,
others horses and buggies, and the
smaller fry use bicycles and motorcy-
are used on the theory that they save
the time of employees and are of CORE
spending worth to the municipality.
Much of the trouble arises in the end
| less travel required of inspectors and
others in the health department.
The engineers department has, in the
aggregate, a very large expense ac-
count, but as most of 1t is incurred in
connection with Vrooman work, 1t is
charged back to the property owners
| for whom improvements are made.
| At the last session of the health board
the question came up when the expense
item of Inspector Fred Hughes was
reached.
The city council voted to Hughes g
special appropriation of $40 monthly fol
the automobile which he uses in inspec.
lions, the funds being taken out of the
general expense fund.
Some of the inspectors In the milk
division are under considerable expense
maintaining horse and buggy. They
keep their outfit stabbed over night al
| some suburban stable and take the troll
ley cars to and from these points. II
they did otherwise they would use UP
most of their time each day in driving
from Los Angeles to the scene of In
spection and back again.
The finance committee of the council
and the supply committee hope to reach
a schedule shortly on where to draw
| the line.

HEALTH BOARD INSISTS
ON UNIFORMS FOR ALL
SECRETARY AND HOUSING IN
sPEcToR INCLUDED
All Civil Service Employees Falling to
Comply with the Rule This
Month VIII Be Sus-
pended

Health Commissioners A. w. Moore
and G. B. Dickson are determined that
every civil service employee In the
health department shall wear the new
prescribed blue-and-gold uniforms
while on duty.
Resolutions have just been passed
ordering all those employees not COM
plying after twenty days to be sus-
pended.
The two attaches who have not yet
donned their uniforms are Secretary
Hugh M. Love and Housing Inspector
Nicholas Queirolo.
Secretary Love says he has already
ordered lighter grade of goods so that
he can wear the uniforms indoors
comfortably, the present weight being
too heavy for comfort.
Queirolo Is attached to the housing
commission and some question of juris-
diction has arisen in his case. He
works under the direction OF Chairman
Titan Coffey of the latter board.
Clerks William McGill and Henry
Sief, who do indoor work almost ex-
Clusively as a rule don office coats in
place OF the stiff uniform coats, and of
that there has been no complaint.
Though the inspectors grumbled at
first about the uniform proposition,
they are no longer opposed to them.
However, when they are obliged to
climb under houses for sanitary inspec-
tons, enter restaurants and bakery
kitchens or cellars, they find that their
uniforms suffer sadly from wear.

"Forgive Me for What | Have Done"
Last Words of Husband Who Com
mltted Crime Rather Than
Forgive

Mrs. Isabelle Evans, formerly an In
mate of the house at 45s Commercial
street, who was shot by her husband in
his room at S24 South Hin street Thurs
day night, as she was on her knees
imploring him to take her back from q
| life of shame, was removed yesterday
morning from the receiving to the
county hospital in a dying condition.
Her husband, Benjamin C. Evans,
who fired two shots into his breast and
one into his brain, after shooting his
wife in the back, died at o'clock yes
terday morning.
Evans worked for the Stockwell Mat
tress Manufacturing company. 945 South
Los Angeles street. His mother, Mrs.
IS. C. Evans of Whittier, arrived this
morning. 1t is said, and probably will
take charge of the body after the in
quest.
Woman Cannot Live
Mrs. Evans. the doctors say, cannot
possibly live more than a few hours.
She deserted her husband a year ago,
at which time she went to San Fran
cisco, but later returned.
1t was alleged by her husband she
was addicted to the opium habit. AL
though she had made repeated appeals
for him to take her back on promises
to be good, he refused to do so and had
twice moved to avoid meeting her.
The bullet which he fired into his
wife's body, and which lodged in her
abdomen, was from a 80 caliber re-
volver. Just before shooting her, as
she was on her knees begging to be
taken back, he cried out: You are not
fit to live. You are fit only for death.
Now die'' He then shot her and
turned the gun on himself. The trag-
edy occurred at a lodging house con-

whether or not the Shriners of AL
Malaikah will hire a special train to

Flint yesterday. 'All are interested in
the proposed special, among the Shrin-
ers. But it is one thing to decide to
hire train and quite another to pay
for it. Any special to pay has to have
100 passengers. There's $4,000 expenses
