SEEKS DEATH UNDER

MAN OUT OF WORK COURTS
FRlGHTFUL END
West Seventh Street Motorman Sees
Body Just in Time and Listens
to PitifuI Tale of
Misery

Out of work for several weeks. hun
CRY, penniless and without home or
friends, an unknown man who told the
story of his distress but stubbornly re-
fused to give his name, lay down an
front of a West Seventh street car
about midnight recently and attempted
to end his life by allowing the car to
run over him.
The story of the mans attempted sui
eide was told by Henry Serkes, conduc-
tor of a car which came near running
over him, yesterday.
Mr.. Serkes stated that the man had
lain PROSTATE across the track at
point on a steep grade near Figueroa
hill, where the cars usually come down
at full speed.
The man had waited until the car
had started down the hill to make his
death more certain. He undoubtedly
would have been ground to pieces had
the car struck him, but the motorman
saw something dark on the track and
applied the magnetic emergency brakes
with such suddenness that the car was
almost upset, according to Conductor
Serkes, who said he was nearly thrown
from his feet by the jolt.
The motorman, by extreme effort,
managed to stop the car, and 1t came
to an abrupt standstill just as the
fender touched the mans body.
"The fellow seemed awful disap-
pointed at not having been killed" said
the conductor, land stubbornly refused
to get off of the track
1--WE had to drag him from the rails,
and even then he acted as though he
wanted to ret back in front of the car.
"He had not been drinking and APP
peared perfectly rational. except that
he was terribly blue.
when we asked him why he had
done such a thing he replied that he
had no friends or money, and that he
had walked the streets until his feet
were blistered, looking for work.
HE stated he was an able-bodted
man and willing to work for any price
that would barely keep him if neces-
sary, but said he positively could get
nothing.
"cNo one cared whether am dead or
alive he said. and I'd be a lot better
off out of the road. A broke man has
no business living anywhere.

tening of what is known in TIE trade
as finished beef large quantities or
corn are required as fodder, and that
when the price of corn goes up the
price of beef must advance cores
pondingly
1t is asserted without qualification by
old time butchers in the Washington
market that there has not been a car
cass of corn-fed bullock in the market
for twenty years or more and that the
meat of corn-fed cattle is not sold for
general consumption, for the reason
that when the price Of corn is high the
owner can make greater profit by
selling 1t in the grain market instead
of feeding it to stock.
There is not retail butcher in New
York who is able to explain why he
has had to pay more Tor his beef and
mutton and pork and charge his GUS
toners more. All he knows is that the
price is increased. The meat Is ready
for his inspection and purchase and he
can take 1t or leave It.. The nearest to
an explanation of the increase has been
shortage in supply.
The organ of the meat trust in New
York does not bear out the shortage
theory. In it's last issue the receipts of
live stock in Chicago were recorded
as 1851 head for the week. an in
crease of 60,573. Deliveries of cattle

the previous week, and 11.372 head
greater than the same week last year"
AS the demand for the choicest cuts
of beef falls off the price of the cheap
err parts is increased by the butcher SO
that he can come somewhere near get
ting even with the wholesaler. In the
populous East Side. where a half cent
in the price of meat means much, the
cut for which there is the greatest de-
mand is the brisket. which is Invested
of it's bone before it is sold to the GUS
toner One year ago the brisket was
sold at from 10 to IA cents a pound.
Friday the lowest price was 20
cents. Corned beef that sold for 16 and
Is cents a pound In June, 1907. sold
Friday for 20 cents Soup meat has
gone up to 10 cents pound on the East
Side and IA and Is cents pound in
Jefferson Market, an increase greater
in proportion than for any other meat.
Last January the price of soup meat
was from 10 to IL cents pound, and a
wear ago the highest price for the best
quality was 10 cents.
wholesalers do not hesitate to pre-
dict that prices will SOAR still higher,
and that cattle on the )loof now bring
ing from So to $40 hundred will adj
vance to SO and probably SO hundred
weight. One of the effects Of the ac-
ton of the beef trust In boosting prices
for profit Is the increased demand for
fish and its consequent advance In
price.

PoUNDKEEPER's DUTIES ARE
DESCRIBED MOST CAREFULLY

Ordinances relating to the office Of
poundkeeper and prescribing his pow
ers and duties are being closely scru-
tinized since the agitation for a new
system of dog licensing and collecting
was started in Los Angeles.
Ignorance of the provisions has re-
suited in many persons submitting to
illegal practices by the dog catchers.
Not only are the provisions being
studied, but the financial returns are
being analysed.
Pasadena has afforded a striking ex-
ample by her system of letting HUI
name society officials manage the
work
City Auditor w. c. Mushet on his
return from Denver this week prob
ably will renew his recommendations
looking to a more systematic manage
ment of the finances involved by dog
maintenance in Los Angeles.
| The ordinance creating the Office of
| poundkeeper provides that, before en-
| tering upon the discharge of his du-
| ties, he shall take the oath of office
and give $1,000 bond.
He must at his own expense provide
and maintain proper corral and build
ings where sanitary conditions shall
prevail, which shall be known as the
public pound. Subsistence must also
be provided by the keeper. Los An
geles has it's pound on Parker street.
The powers and duties of deputies
are stated to be the same as those
prescribed for the poundkeeper, the
deputies being made special police
men.
1t is the duty of the poundkeeper to
take up and impound all unlicensed
dogs found running at large in or on
any public street, alley, lane, park,
public building or on any vacant or
unoccupied lot or land not inclosed.
After a time the impounded dogs
are to be asphyxiated with gas, If not
redeemed. The keeper may by gift
or sale dispose Of the animals, provid-
ed persons claiming them do not pay
the pound fee and take out the tag
for the year.
No dogs can be killed except under
the supervision Of health officer, to
whom advance notice must be given,
and not oftener than twice week
Such inspector must report and keep
on file at the health office record or
dogs killed and deliver similar GER
tificate to the poundkeeper. Monthly
reports must also be filed with the
city clerk.
animals descriptions must be posted
at the city hall, the court house and
at the entrance of the public pound.
Fees allowed to the poundkeeper are
Il 20 each for taking up and impound-
ing dogs, provided that no Zee VIII
be allowed for animals unlawfully
taken up, such being returned imme-
riately to the owners.
Section IS states that it shall be I'M
lawful for the keeper or any of his
deputies to enter upon any private
Enclosed or occupied place and take
therefrom any dog, or to take from the
hands of any person any dog, or TO
n,,+ loose any dog which is tied on
nrivate property, OF is being led by
anv string, cord, rope, chain or other
attachment
Los Angeles herald., 1908-07-06

clares that the "poundkeeper shall be
entitled to receive $1.50 for taking up
and impounding any dog .
provided that no fees whatsoever shall
be allowed the poundkeeper for any
animal which has been unlawfully
taken up and impounded" (as is done
every day in Los Angeles), "but such
animal shall be Immediately returned
and delivered to the owner or person
previously having the custody of said
dog or animal"
Has this section of the Los Angeles
ordinance ever been observed? 1t is
doubtful If there is record of any dog
ever having been returned to It's owner
except where the license was paid, al
though thousands of them are lured out
of yards, shared by trickery and other
wise unlawfully impounded, according
to public testimony.

BEING OUT OF WORK
TRIES TO END LIFE
Shoots Himself at His Home After a
spell of Hard Drinking but
Falls to Cause
Death

During a fit of mental depression,
following a night of intoxication, A. b.
Weaver, a young married man, at
tempted to end his life by shooting
himself through the breast about 10
o'clock yesterday morning at his home,

Los Angeles herald., 1908-07-06

Pleas and demands for fair play are
futile. No notice of an advance in
price is given to any retail dealer not
controlled by the meat trust. He must
pay up once a week or go on the black
list, and If unable to meet his obliga-
tions on the dot he locks up his ice box
and goes out of business.
The only explanation that the trust
makes as to why the price of beef
should be increased at a season when
the demand is smaller than at any
other time of the year is that the high
price of corn has made it necessary.

No More Dark Brown Sugar.

You have no idea" said the wife
who is also an excellent cook, how
difficult It is to make molasses cookies
and gingerbread and brown bread so
1t will have the same flavor that It
had in the days now past. And why?
Because It is wellnight impossible to
find the good old-fashioned dark-brown
sugar. That's the secret of it There
was a time when one could get differ
ent grades OF brown sugar, that which
was least refined" being very dark
and vastly sweeter than the light
brown or &C. sugar, as 1t used to be
called. But those days have passed.
and I suppose that never again will
my cooking taste quite so good.
"Of course the younger people.
those who have never known the ex-
Quisite flavor of molasses candy and
molasses cake made with the dark
sugar, cannot realize the difference.
Happy mortals they! AS for myself. I
am constantly looking for the sugar of
my childhood. and there is not a week
kput have my hopes raised by some
storekeeper telling me he has It: but
he is mistaken-it is the light brown
sugar he has, and not that which I
seek"

Many of the prisoners are short-term
men, and they are detailed to police
the grounds. OF course, this means
much sweeping, and a broom lasts
about month. Thus, two "brooms."
in army lingo, means two months. No
prisoner is permitted to salute an Of

soldiers who behave themselves. In
stead, they fold their arms and look

clothing, is used instead.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear Of tho Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow. and 1 hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
II told him l felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
'It was a struggle because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it.
and then 1t was easy to leave off
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at
