Don't neglect the first symptoms Of

given in time. The time wasted In
sending for q physician or for medt
cine when a child shows symptoms Of

Kept In the house for immediate pse.
Remember, It will prevent an attack If

FEAR DISEASE MAY
SPREAD FROM JAIL
Officials Complain of Conditions and
Say City Council Must Take
Steps to Remedy
Them

That city officials who have offices
in the same building as the city jail
are afraid of an epidemic of disease re-
sulting from the foul condition preva-
lent at the city prison is evident from
their views regarding the insanitary
conditions of the BLACK Hole" of Los
Angeles
Prosecuting Attorney Fleming says
the condition should be remedied in
some manner, and it is his opinion that
every one in the building is in danger
of contracting some disease.
Justice Chambers expresses his BELIEF
that the city council will act soon and
relieve the congestion. He Is also OF
the opinion that the foul condition OF
tho prison is menace to the health
of this city.
"Even the first principle of sanitation
has been neglected" said DIR. Barlow,
special health officer, who is acquainted
with the conditions existing at the jail:
.'It is liable to be the starting point of
a wide epidemic
The lumber for the floor to be built
in the tank was delivered at the jail
Yesterday and work started. This Will
provide room for more unfortunates,
but will not increase the breathing
space which is 50 badly needed.

HOARSENESS
HOW CAUSED AND WHEN
DANGEROUS.

Hoarseness, or roughuess Of voice,
arises from several causes. The most
common is when the mucous is al
lowed 10 collect on the vocal cords.
This Is dangerous. for unless the mu-
Gus is removed 1t Is most likely to be-
come a hotbed of disease, and will de-
velop into some serious chronic throat
or lung complaint A small dose of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy win
work wonders. Not only does 1t at
once clear away the mucus. but also
assists Nature TO strengthen the vocal
cords, and make the accumulation less
likely to occur The mere fact that
Chamberlain Cough Remedy 10 free
from all narcotics makes It the best to
use In all cases OF hoarseness. An
other common cause of hoarseness is
the swelling or looseness of the local
cords. This is generally caused by
sudden exposure or by protracted pub
lic speaking. This phase Is often
called -clergymaD's h6arseness. The
soothing properties of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy act most beneficially in
such cases. and by soothing any In

first spoke to him concerning his testi-
lnony.
"What kind of a hat did the defend
ant wear that l1ight?" asked Appel.
II don't remember it's shape, but
know it looked very pretty on her." re-
piled the witnesses.
The horses attached to Mrs. Corwelps
carriage, he believed, were bay.
John BeckWith, another newspaper
reporter, said he saw Mrs. Corwel the
night of the shooting and that she
wore white hat, without plumeS.
On cross-exi mination he gave a de-
tailed account of his movements since
the time he first entered upon newspa-
per work, more than twenty years ago,
Beckwith said the defendant wore d
white dress. Her companion also wore
Il white hat. One of the horses was OF
a dark color, while the other was gray,
said the witness.
Benjamin Roberts, also a newspaper
reporter, corroborated the testimony of
the two previous witnesses in regard
to the hat worn by Mrs. Corwell.
On cross-examination he declared he
had not talked the matter over with
his associates in the reporters room at
the police station.
You depend on the police for in
formation to get news for your paper?"
asked Appel.
Have to Find News
Sometimes we get it from the po-
lice, but generally we have to find 1t
ourselves" replied the witness.
He said the defendants hat was
trimmed with rit bons and she wore no
shawl or gloves. The horses, he said,
were gray.
Roberts said he did not see the hack
man until five or ten minutes after
Mrs. Corwell had reached the station.
'That's all I want of you" declared
Appel, evidently nettled.
DR.. M. A. Bresee, who is connected
with the undertaking establishment
where the autopsy ON Benefits body
was performed, was called.
did you see the left hand of George
T. Bennett the day of the autopsy"
asked Blair.
Appel objected and the court said he
would rule later. The witness was ex-
cused until this morning.
Mrs. J. e. McKenna was the last
witness of the day. She was proprie-
tress Of the Chester hotel in 1905, she
said, while Mrs. Corwell was a guest.
The defendant was registered under
the name of Mrs. Corwell, and had a
number of callers, those names she
could not remember.
Ibid she tell you of anyone to whom
she was engaged" asked Attorney
Beach, who is associated with the
prosecution.
"Well, Mr.. Bennett. for one, and she
told me her sisters cousins brother
wanted to marry her." replied the wit
ness.
did she speak of being engaged to
anybody else besides Bennett"
She spoke Of some other man who
had secured a license to marry her."
Bennett Engaged Room
Bennett, she said, had engaged the
room at the hotel for the defendant.
She had a conversation with Mrs. Cor
we'll one day, she said, and when asked
it's purport replied:
II told her not to have anything to
do with married men; that there were
many single men and advised her to
marry, and if she knew men were mar
ried to have nothing to do with them.
She said Benefits wife was very sick
and she expected 20 marry him some
time"

MISS Rogers was arrested by Detect
ives Mcnamara and Murray, who
found her wandering around Rico street
ana Grand avenue, on warrant sworn
out by y. l.. Larme, chief clerk at the
Iankershim hotel, who alleges in the
complaint that the young woman OBJ
tanned about months board and lodg-
ing at that hotel and paid for it all in
promises.
She left the hotel four days ago when
the management became insistent for
a settlement of the long standing ac-
count and the promises of checks from
publishers, friends, etc, failed to ma
terialize. Where she has been staying
since leaving the Lankershim is uncer-
tain.
Miss Rogers appeared here some
weeks ago and began cultivating an
acquaintance in the literary set. The
impression got out that she was the
authoress of the Lady of Decoration"
and it was NOT until after this had been
contradicted that she entered a denial
OF the ruIlor anu Claimed IL was all an
unfortunate mistake.
During her residence here she has an

as a guest of honor. She also appeared
before the Mothers congress and talked
learnedly on various subjects.
Last night she made brave figure
amidst the squalid surroundings in the
city prison, and claimed everything
would be Strengthened out in day or
two and she would be found not to

ried in the name of George t. Bennett
Bennett, he said, paid all the bills ex'
eept the last one, which was made oui
after his death and was paid by his
father.
A. Il. Rogers, who was porter at the
Glenmore hotel at Avalon In July, 1907
said he saw the defendant at the hote
ON the 4th of that month accompanied
by two men and another woman. one
of the men, he said, wore Vandykt
beard, but he did not know the Other
man. They arrived by boat and stayed
at the hotel all night.
On cross-examination the witness
was unable to give a description OF the
man wearing the Vandyke beard
either as to features or clothing. He
stated his wife had refreshed his mem
ory concerning the party ana ne there
fore remembered distinctly the mar
with the beard, but could tell little
about the other members of the party
Mrs. Corwell, he said, wore dark blue
dress and carried neither orutch MOI

came to the hotel that day that you can
give any description of at all is the
man with the Vandyke beard?" asked
Appel.
Eyes, SIR" replied the witness.
Appel asked that all the testimony OF
1he witness be stricken out on the
ground tina. it was not his but his
wife's story he was telling, but this was
denied.

olared positively.
Other than that the man with the
beard also wore a mustache, the wit
ness could give no description or MN
when cross-examined. She refnem-
bered the party because they had or
dered drinks served, which was against
the rules of the cafe
DR.. w. w. Beckett, who waited on
Mrs. Corwell following the incident at
Ocean Park when she sustained
broken ankle, was called.
''From your treatment of the defend
ant state whether in your opinion she
was sane or insane" said Blair
Appel objected on the ground that
such testimony was privileged, and
cited rulings In the Thaw case in which
physicians who had treated the defend
ant pr!or to the time of Whites death
were not permitted to testify concern
ing the treatment in his case.
The objection was overruled and the
witness said Mrs. Corwell was sane at
that time. On cross-exanination he
said he did not know what her mental
condition was before or after the treat
ment, no did he know whether she
was SANE or insane at the time she was

One often hears the expression.
my child caught a severe cold, which
developed into dlphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one partially susceptible
to the wandering diphtheria germ.
When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
given, 1t not only cures the cold, but
greatly lessons the danger Of diph-
iberia or any other germ disease being
contracted. There is no danger in Civ
ing this remedy. as it contains no
opium or other harmful drug, and may
be given to a baby as Confidently a.
