CITY JAIL PRISONER
TRIES TO END LIFE
REMOVES LAMP GLOBE AND
CUTS HIS ANKLE
overpowered by TRUSTEES While En-
deavoring to Sever Vein, Having
Succeeded Merely in Scratch
ing the Skin

George Courent, arrested several days
ago on suspicion, made desperate at
tempt to end his life in the upper tank
at the city Jail shortly after o'clock
yesterday afternoon by cutting vein
with a piece of glass. The prompt ar :
rival of two TRUSTEES and a hospital
nurse prevented him from carrying out
his intention.
Courent has been acting queer since
his incarceration. Yesterday he paced
his cell, and when the other prisoners
paid attention to him sat in corner
and covered his face with his hands.
Then he changed his tactics and be-
gan to walk in a circle under one OF
the incandescent lamps, regarding the
globe with a steady, fixed gaze. After
several minutes of this conduct he
began to watch the other prisoners to
see if they were watching him. Then he
seized the globe and began to unscrew
1t from it's socket. One of the inmates
saw him and asked him what he was
trying to do. Courent made no reply
but walked over to a bench and sat
down.
He remained quiet several minutes
The other men were talking among
themselves and he was unnoticed. He
again walked to the light and succeed
ed in unscreWing the globe. He was
SO nervous for fear he would be de-
tected that he allowed the lamp to slip
through his hands. 1t struck the con-
crete floor and was shattered. This at
tracted the attention of the other pris-
oners and they reported the matter to
one of the TRUSTEES. The latter sum
moned the hospital nurse to find oul
what was the matter with Courent, and
both went to the tank where the pris-
oner is confined.

SEATTLE FAIR
WILL APPEAL
TO TEACHERS
INSPECTION DAY FOR EDU-
GATORS PLANNED.
PROGRESS OF EXPOSITION MADE
KNOWN IN LETTERS
Southern California Delegates to Be
Sent by The Herald VIII See
Roses and Peonies in
Profusion

The coming exposition at Seattle, to
which The Herald will send twelve
Southern California teachers who are
entered in its voting contest, promises
to appeal specially to educators, and
schools will have prominence in the big
show in many ways.
The division of exploitation Of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition is ar
ranging for a teachers day to give the
educators in the state of Washington
an intimate acquaintance with the fair,
thereby calling attention to it's advant-
ages in the letters which they write
and teachers are proverbially fond of
correspondence with their colleagues
in schools elsewhere.
On teachers day teachers in all the
public schools of the city, county and
state will be invited to inspect the ex-
position grounds. Some Saturday in
January will be set aside.
interesting Pupils
After making an inspection of the
grounds, the teachers will be asked to
tell their pupils of the beauties of the
exposition on their return to their
schools, and this will result in the ex-
position being advertised in many
homes throughout the state.
During the latter part of December
l6dCll6IS dSSOCldllOliS III many
states, and circular letters tell of the
progress of the exposition and the OPP
portunities and benefits of spending
the 1909 vacation at Seattle have been
sent to thousands of teachers.
Associations meet in Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado Florida, Georgia, Illi-
nois, Montana New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
Thousands of Rose Bushes
More than seven thousand rose
bushes have been planted about the
Cascades of the grounds of the expo
sition and several thousand peony
plants set out the last week. The
iandscaping department has begun the
work of planting in the formal gar
dens and other floral features are be-
ing worked as fast as practicable.
The Cascades and Geyser Basin are
complete and more than one-half of
the main court has been paved with
asphalt The contract has been award
ed for the erection of the Music pavil-
ion and this structure will be finished
in about sixty days.

for tubercularS, one for medical pa
tents and one for the administration
building When these are constructed
there will be but one frame building
left, and this will in short time, it
is believed, give way to a more sub
stantial one.
With the completion of these three
new buildings the capacity of the in
stitution will be somewhat increased,
but not to any great extent. All build
ing for the future will be devoted to
the one idea of enlarging the capacity
of the hospital, but expenditures along
this line in the future by the county
will not necessarily be so great, unless
the influx of INDECENT patients con-
tinues to increase at the present rate.
If this happens and nothing is done to
check the perverted idea that tubercu-
lar patients have their largest hope for
recovery in Southern California, there
is no telling what the demands on the
county may become in the next few
years. This is a problem that the
future alone can work out.
The ward containing the largest
number of patients at present is what
is generally termed the medical ward.
In it 1876 indigents are being taken care
of, not including those numbered as
tuberculars, while in the surgical ward
there are forty-three patients.
Insane Grow in Numbers
Insane patients are becoming gradu-
ally more numerous, and this fact bids
fair to- develop into as important a
problem as the tubercular question is
assuming. AT present there are seven
teen patients being treated for insanity,
the larger portion of whom are but
short-time residents of Los Angeles,
having come to this city in search of
health and without any visible means
of sustaining themselves after they
arrived.
1t is the policy of the management of
the hospital-and the policy is gradu-
ally being more rigidly enforced-to
look more closely into every insane and
tubercular case with special regard as
to how long they have been here.
Wherever it appears that Los Angeles
is being used as a dumping ground for
the entire United States the manage
ment is using every means to turn
these people back to the cities whence
they have come.

ALLEGED "PHONY" JEWELRY
WORKER Is UNDER ARREST
Police Find Quantity Of Watches and
Rings in Possession of Prisoner.
Articles Declared to Be of
Little Value

George Miller, said By the police to
be the most noted ''phony jewelry
worker" in the United States, was ar
rested at Second and Main streets last
night by Detectives Murray and Nc
Cam and booked at central station on
suspicion.
When searched at the station Miller
had $11S in money in his pockets and
besides is said to have had forty
"phony'' gold watches and a lot of snide
rings, pins, brooches, etc, all of which
were fine limitations of the real articles,
but said to be valued at not more than
a few cents each.
Miller also was equipped with
licenses from every city in California
and number of eastern places as q
street peddler. 1t is alleged by the po-
lice that he selects a victim and then
tries, 1t is claimed, to sell him one OF
the "phony'' watches on the pretense
it is valuable and intimating it has
been stolen or found and consequently
the purchaser will get a bargain.
