JUSTIFlABLE HOMICIDE
WILL BE W0MAN'S PLEA
Mrs. De Arman, Still in Serious Con-
dition, and Physicians Say
She Must Not Be
Moved

Suffering from acute shock and in a
serious condition Mrs. u. u. DeArman,
who shot and killed Mrs. Helen Grif-
fin in the Monrovia postoffice Tuesday
evening. is still under guard in her
home, where she will remain until she
is improved enough to be removed.
Her preliminary hearing has been set
for April 8 before Justice John B. Hol-
loway of Monrovia, and it is thought
there will be no attempt made to
bring her to the county Jail until after
that date.
Her condition was such that DR..
Davies of Monrovia, her family ply
sician, called Dr. c. w. Bryson OF
Los Angeles in consultation. Both
were with her most of the night.
Attorneys Earl Rogers and Paul
Schenck have been retained to defend
the woman. Excusable and justifiable
homicide will be the defense they will
offer.
The body of Mrs. Griffin lies un-
claimed in the morgue at Monrovia./

DEAD ANIMAL
CONTRACT IS
NEARING END
CITY COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER
PROBLEM TODAY
RENDERING PLANT is BETWEEN
TWO FIRES
Sixth Ward Determined That Plant
Must Go, and Los Angeles
County viii Not
Have 1t

Tho city council will hold special
session this morning principally to act
on the dead animal rendering problem.
The contract between the city and
the Hanson company expires July I.
Recently Councilman Henry Yonkin, in
obedience to the repeated complaints OF
scores of his constituents living near
the Hanson plant, which is located near
the Los Angeles river bed, became 50
persistent in his demands that the
company abate the nuisance that an
ordinance was passed stopping further
rendering.
The Hanson people claimed that the
contract was an Improbable one and
they would gladly be relieved OF the
same; but they were between two fires,
they said. The council by one act
made further rendering misdemeanor
and yet failed to abrogate the contract
which compelled the company to take
care of all careasses in Los Angeles.
Between Two Fires
Attorney Isidore Dockweiler a few
days ago told the council that he would
advise his client to cease doing further
rendering unless the city agreed to eX-
tend the contract, being moved to this
step by the recent test trial in which
violate the law, in that no nuisance
was maintained there.
He said, however, that as public
service the company would keep on do
ing the work provided the ordinance
was amended permitting such work and
that the amendment be passed imme-
diately.
The city council refused to do So and
Councilman Yonkin reminded Mr.. Dock
weller that the contract provided that
the rendering be done outside the city
limits.
Not Wanted in County
The attorney conceded this, but said
no site could be obtained in Los An
geles county, as objections were made
and suits were threatened, no matter
where the company turned for site.
Hanson knew all this when he
started the plant and took the con-
tract" said Councilman Yonkin. 1T is
his lookout"
The city incinerator is not equipped
to consume horses and cows, though
dogs cats and rats can be handled. On
this account the health department is
worried over the situation, as is the
board of public works, which has Juris-
diction over the incinerator.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
KIDNEY TROUBLE
[SWELLTNG ANKLESl

Swelling ankles or hands, or puffy
eyelids are usually the first notices OF
dropsy, which is almost always definite
evidence of Inflammation OF the kidneys
that has made considerable progress
1t is usually in the chronic or supposed
incurable stage when first noticed.
The Inflammation has closed the tu-
buIes in the kidneys and the heart
numping through the obstruction has
increased the blood pressure until the
thin watery portions are forced through
the veins and drop down and settle In
the hands and feet and in the eyelids
at night.
AS the books know nothing that will
reduce kidney inflammation and open
the tubules, there has been no success
full treatment for dropsy. physicians
usually attempting to prolong life by
giving nitro -glycerine, digitalis, etc,
etc. to strengthen the heart Th1s
treatment may momentarily ASSIST lhe
patient, but it has no deterrent effect
on the development of the infiamma-
tion in the kidney tissues, and the pa
tient almost inevitably succumbs.
Hence dropsy has been considered in
durable
1t can be readily appreciated that II
Fulton's Renal Compound disperses IN
fiammation in the kidneys that the
tubules will open and the heart pres
sure will decline with gradual restora-
tion.
This is exactly what happens, and
Inflammation of. the Kidneys of the most
serious forms, involving dropsy, now
yield to the Renal Compound in about
81 per cent of all cases without refer
ence to whether it is in the first or
second stage. In fact, this classihca-
tion now practically disappears in the
presence of a real specific for inflam-
nation of the kidneys.

PROMINENT SOCIETY WOMAN
WOULD SET ASIDE DIVORCE
Constructive Service Between Two
States Involved in Action Begun
In Salt Lake by Mrs.
Frank Boyd

SALT LAKE CITY, April Mrs.
Frank F. Boyd, a prominent society
woman of San Francisco. filed a suit in
the district court here today in which
she is endeavoring to have set aside
the decree of divorce entered by court
of this state to Frank F. Boyd, a prom
inent mining man. The question of
constructive service between two states
is involved in the suit.
Last December, when Boyd filed a
suit for divorce in the district court
here, he was living in Pennsylvania
and Mrs. Boyd was living in San Fran
cisco.
In the suit it was stated that Boyd
was a bona fide resident of this city.
Constructive services were alleged to
have been served on Mrs. Boyd, and
upon her failing to appear in answer
the decree was entered by default.
Mrs. Boyd says in her suit today that
Boyd has not been a iona fide resident
of the state of Utah and alleges that
the summons served against her was
purposely sent to the wrong address in
San Francisco so as to give her no
chance to answer.
She asks that the divorce be set aside.

ASKS BROADER POWERS FOR
CITY'S ART COMMISSION
Chairman Blanchard viii Ask Charter
Revisionists to Recommend
That Fund Be Set
Aside

Chairman F. w. Blanchard of the
municipal art commission will at its
next meeting ask the charter revision
commission to recommend an appropri-
alton of say $4,000 as the nucleus of a
fund to make Los Angeles a city beau
tiful.
The money will be used in purchas-
ing statuary, paintings and works of
art for public buildings and public
places
1t is desired that the commission have
more power also, so that steps can be
taken for a future comprehensive plan
of preserving certain streets, places
landmarks, parks, trees and such, with
a view of some day remodeling some of
the streets connecting depots, parks
and the business center.
The recent Robinson plans suggest
the possibility of such work when
planned by a civic expert.

POWER STATION AT ELlZABETH
LAKE is COMPLETED
Edison Company Furnishes Current to
Los Angeles Aqueduct Construc-
ton Forces, Electricity Re-
ducing Cost of Bore

Word has come from the power sta
ton at the Elizabeth lake tunnel that
electricity is now being generated there
for the Los Angeles-Owens river aque-
duct construction forces.
The plant is ready and everything
well in hand for beginning active tun-
neling with the aid of the electric cur
rent.
The Edison company takes the cur
rent as far as Castaic, whence il
is transmitted to the city's station at
the lake. A voltage of $4,000 is used
now.
The current is carried twenty-five
miles and its use will effect a great
saving in the cost of tunneling.

CITY DECLINES TO REFUND
TAXES TO CORPORATIONS

The city has decided TO decline to re-
fund taxes to the Edison Electric, Pa
ciflc Light and Home Telephone com
panies.
The Edison company claimed 1879,
the Pacific company $15,96S and the
Home S24.435.
These corporations claimed that they
were worcestershire, as they operate
under franchises granted by the state.
The citys legal department holds, how
ever, that public utility franchises are
assessable by the city.
The Home company's test case is now
before the supreme court at Washing
ton, and it is probable that the other
two companies will file suits against
the city.

Junpi yesterday. The mass Of bone
and bleeding flesh was severed from his
wrist by DR.. johnson last night at his
hospital.
Junji was engaged in Tightening q
bolt on the frame work OF the cog
wheel while the machine was in
motion, when suddenly the wrench
slipped from the bolt and his left hand
shot into the teeth. Only the dull
crunching sound Of the steel cogs.
mascerating bone and flesh told his
fellow workmen OF the accident since
Junpi did not utter a sound, but sat
looking at the injured member with
a sickly smile and dazed look.
One of his fellow workmen hurried
to a doctors Office and later he was
taken to DR.. %Johnson's hospital. Peo-
pie on the streets who say the bloody
mass hanging to the mans wrist were
sickened when a realization Of what
had happened, came. Junji exhibited
remarkable nerve. He walked along
to the doctors Office, his face devoid
Of signs of pain and when given q
stimulant he told how the accident &C.
CURED without a break in his voice,
or change of expression OF his face.
An Intellectual effort was made by
the doctor to save part Of the mans
hand. After the operation was per
formed and Junji regained conscious
ness from the anasthetic, he insisted
on walking to his home at 61S North

ed by doctors and nurses His wife
and brother-in-law called for him latel
