DEFENDANT COMPLAINS
OF GOATS APPETITE
Case Based Upon Deeds and Treat
ment of a Neighbor's Pet
Heard by Deputy Pro=
scouting Attorney

w. D. Armstrong, a carpenter living
at 1872 Mission road, appeared before
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Eddie
yesterday in answer to a complaint
sworn to by Mrs. Rangel, a Mexican
neighbor, who declared that Armstrong
had threatened to shoot her and her
goat if she did not rid his premises of
the latter.
Armstrong gave an entirely different
version of the goat row, which occurred
last Sunday. The goat, he said, was a
pest, devouring the flowers, shirts and
patience of the neighbors. According
TO Mrs. Rangel her pet just strayed
over to Armstrong; yard on Sunday
afternoon, but she did not say If it had
ever been there before. Armstrong de-
clared that it was very seldom at home
and that it had taken a particular lik-
ing to the herbage and flowers of his
garden.
Just before the row started the goat
went over to Armstrong; back yard
to visit. Armstrong, according to his
statement, told his boys to drive that
goat away" While the boys were doing
so the children of the Rangel house.
hold demanded that they leave that
goat alone" but the Armstrong boys
succeeded in getting the offending OBJ
stacle out of their yard.
The goat came back. II got my shot
gum" said Armstrong, land then
called over that if they wanted that
goat they had better come and get him.
The woman came and got the goat and
took him home. I'm from Kentucky
and l got hot but I didn't threaten to
kill nobody but that d goat"
Attorney Eddie instructed Armstrong
to go home and in the future to be
careful how he used his shotgun.

ORPHEUS CLUB WILL
SING FOR CHARITY
ASSOCIATED AND BETHLEHEM TO
RECEIVE BENEFIT
Rev. Dana w. Bartlett Has Plan
Whereby Worthy Poor Will
Be Able to Hear Good
Concert

The Orpheus club will give a concert
Tuesday evening, March "a, for the
benefit of Rev Dana w. Bartlett s
Bethlehem institute and the Associated
Charities The treasures of both these
worthy charity organizations have been
depleted through the unusual demands
made on them because of the money
stringency, and as these demands are
but slightly diminished money is badly
needed bv both.
The Orpheus club has volunteered its
services for this special purpose. and it
is hoped the Temple Auditorium will be
crowded next Tuesday evening. Not
only will those who patrontZe the per-
formance have a musical treat, but
they will also provide bread and cloth
| ing for many who are near starvation
and nakedness.
In connection with this plan Rev.
Dana w. Bartlett has evolved scheme
whereby the very poor who are to be
physically benefited by the generosity
of the Orpheus club can also enjoy the
program. There are very few enjoy
ments open to this class, but 20 cents
will buy one of them a ticket to this
performance. Tickets for the lower
floor and the balcony of the Auditorium
will be sold for so cents each, and no
free tickets will be given in this part of
the house. But seats in the upper gal
lery will be sold for 25 cents each.
Those who wish to bring a little sun
shine into the lives of the unfortunate
poor and at the same time help pur-
chase groceries, can send contributions
for this purpose TO Rev. Dana w. Bart
lett. For each 25 cents Rev. Mr.. Bart
lett receives he will see that someone
worthy of it gets a ticket to the con-
cert. The money received will be turned
into the entertainment fund, which, af-
ter deducting a few minor expenses,
will be divided between the Bethlehem
| institute and the Associated Charities.

CRIME IS CAUSED
BY PRISON RECORD
THROWN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT
YOUNG MAN STEALS
Judge Listens with Favor to His Plea
for Leniency, Fixing His Pun-
shment at Three Years
in Prison

Finding employment in Los Angeles
with much difficulty and prevented
from keeping it after once found be-
cause of a prison record, which has
followed him for nearly two years,
r. G. Smith, young man of 20 years,
stood before Judge Oster, sitting for
Judge Smith in the criminal depart
ment of the superior court, yesterday,
and pleaded for leniency.
Smiths story was touching in the
extreme. He admitted having been
sentenced to Folsom penitentiary in
1904 from San Bernardino county, but
since his release, he said, he had en-
deaVored to make an honest living.
Day and night his term of service in
prison stood out before him as a shad-
Ow, blighting hopes of success, and the
fear was ever in his mind that his
past might become known.
Smith was charged with the theft of
two bundles of sacks from the Los
Angeles Brick company three weeks
ago. When the arresting officer was
examined he told the court Smith had
served a term in prison.
THAT is true" said Smith. Il was
in Folsom prison a little more than
year. When l came out l was de-
termined to be an honest man, and 1
tried my best"
smith explained now ne ndQ at ldSI
secured a job as brakeman for the
Santa Fe road. There he worked for
several months, when his record leaked
out and some person informed his en-
ployers. To the latter he admitted the
truthfulness Of the story, and was dis
charged.
II would have been honest if my
prison record had not followed me-
said Smith. 'It follows me every
where 1 go, day and night, and awak-
ems me from sound sleep to frighten
and worry me-"
II know how difficult it is for a man
to overcome his past when he ends a
prison sentence" said the court. "One
of the cruelties of modern society is
that it refuses to forgive a man for
a past offense when he tries to live
honorably. You have been truthful
and straightforward, and therefore
will be lenient."
smith was sentenced to three years in

WOMAN SUES THREE
BEAUTY DOCTORS
ASKS $1,000 AS DAMAGES FOR HER
ALLEGED INJURIES
Declares That as Result of Treatment
IncurabIe Lumps Formed Upon
Her Face and
Neck

Whether the substance used by the
Institute of Dermatology, S29 South
Hope street, and which Mrs. G. w.
Du Bois, who claims to know, declares
is made up of paraffin and vaseline,
mixed with something else, will fill
up the wrinkled faces of aging hu-
mans or restore the hollow cheeks of
sick-worn persons to their former at
tractive contour, will probably be de-
cided in the superior court when the
suit of Mrs Du Bois, filed yesterday,
comes TO trial
The suit is against Mrs. David Steele
and Gertrude Steele. engaged in the
business of dermatologists, or beauty
doctors" and MISS NJ. Flanagan. who
was called in to assist in the work
of restoring Mrs. Du Bois features to
their youthful appearance.
Mrs. Du Bois says her attention was
attracted to an advertisement under
the headline features corrected Ac-
cording to this advertisement, she says,
the institute on South Hope street
claimed to own a secret process where
by the use of "the only flesh building,
tissue-strengthening substance ever
discovered by advanced SCIENCE"
they were able to fill in cheek and eye
hollows, thin necks. arms, hands,
shoulders and busts, the substance be-
coming part of the flesh in any part
Of the body desired to be filled out.
The reformation of saddle-backed and
deformed noses, indents, receding
chins and sagged faces was also part
of the work done by the institute, ac-
cording to the advertisement, and all
work was guaranteed.
Mrs. Du Bois says she went to the
place in order to have a few small

from her face. Miss Flanagan was
called in, says Mrs. Du Bois, to as
sist in the work, and while at her la
bors Mrs. Steele suggested that several
small hollows in the face be filed out
with the "only flesh building, tissue
strengthening substance assuring the
patient that it contained no paraff1n
or vaseline or other insoluble mineral
oil, but was a harmless preparation.
which was by chemical analysis found
to be equal to the fat in the human
body" The filling out process was
agreed to.
Shortly after the work was finished,
Mrs. Du -ois says a series of Jumps
formed on her face, one on either side
of her nose and one above that or
gan, while another and larger one ap-
peared on her neck. She consulted two
physicians, she says, and they pro-
nounced her trouble incurable.
She says Mrs. Steele later admitted
the substance was nothing more than
paraffin and vaseline. AS a result of
the treatment, Mrs. Du Bois says. her
eyebrows were burned off and the
roots destroyed that she cannot eat
without pain. and when she lies down
she is compelled to make a couch of
four or five ordinary pillows. The de-
PENDANTS, she says, also prescribed the
use of arsenic, which caused her feet
and ankles to swell. She says she paid
the institute 500 for the treatment,
and seeks to recover this sum and
damages in the sum of $1,000.
