NeWs Of the Courts
TO TRY WOMAN ON
CHARGE OF FORGERY
GERTRUDE briggs CASE MAY
LAST ENTIRE WEEK
Accused of Filing Deed to Which
Name of John Charnock Had
Been Attached by Other
Than Him

A trial which, it is expected, will last
the entire week and disclose sensational
features on account of the previous
record of the accused will be begun be-
fore jury in Judge Willis department
of the criminal court at 10 o'clock to-
morrow, when the case of Gertruda
briggs, charged with filing a forged
combined lease and deed in the office
of the county recorder, is called.
Mrs. briggs is accused of fling a
forged lease containing provisions
whereby 1877 acres of land should come
into her possession on payment by her
of a certain sum of money within the
next ten years. The land in question
is part of the estate left by the late
John Charnock, the paper being placed
with the county recorder a few days
after Charnock s death in March.
Determination of the case WILL it is
believed, rest principally on circum-
stantial evidence and the testimony of
handwriting experts, one of whom has
already stated that the name of John
Charnock at the foot of the instru-
ment was not written by him. Accord
ing to the terms of the lease, Charnock
gave the property to Mrs. briggs be-
cause of her tender care of and past
kindness" to him.
The complaining witness is C. r.
Smead, executor of Charnock,s estate.
A large number of witnesses have al
ready been summoned.

BAKERS WILL STAMP
WEIGHT ON LOAVES
CITY ATTORNEY INSTRUCTED
TO DRAW ORDINANCE
Public Will Be Guaranteed Reasonable
Return for Money Expended on
Product from Ovens in
City Shops

After waging a merry war for months
to have his ideas of a bread ordinance
adopted. Councilman Dromgold seems
in a fair way to succeed. The plan he
has consistently advanced from the oe-
ginning was practically adopted at
conference of bakers, councilmen and
The city sealer of weights and meas
ures. which met with Mayor Alexan-
der in the council chamber yesterday
morning.
The plan. which the city attorney
was instructed to incorporate into an
ordinance, provides that the bakers
NAV make any size loaf they please,
hut they must stamp the weight OF the
bread on the loaf and guarantee that
weight for eight hours after baking.
The bakers claim that bread in dry
ing, loses weight and some time aIter
baking may be several ounces hghter
than 1t was when it came from the
oyen But the council believes that
the bakers must know the percentage
of sbrinkage and make the size of their
Ioaves accordingly Thus, if a loaf is to
weigh fifteen ounces eight hours after
baking. the loaf from the oven should
weigh seventeen or eighteen ounces.
This regulation is left to the bakers
themselves. All the ordinance will re
o1ire is that the loaf weigh up to the
stamped weight.
Bread Weight on Label
These weights will probably be placed
on the bread by a label and the bakers
ire anxious to correct an impression
that seems general among housewives.
Bread consumers believe that the lit
tle blue and red labels they find on
the ends Of their bread are pasted on
and some of them have the idea that
+hey are licked like a postage stamp.
The bakers declare this impression is
erroneous. The labels, they say, are
put on the bread without any gum or
other foreign substance before the
bread is baked and that In the pro-
cess of baking the label firmly adheres.
The mayor, the members of the coun-
Gil and others interested in the mat
ter are glad that some solution of the
bread problem has been reached and
that the conference called by the
mayor produced results. The council
recently passed an ordinance fixing
standard weight for bread and pro-
viding that loaves of four sizes. thirty
two. twenty-four. sixteen and eight
ounces, should be baked. The bakers
objected to this ordinance because they
want to sell bread for and 10 cents
loaf. and they argued thaU with tnese
fixed sizes they would sometimes have
to sell a loaf for cents and sometimes
for 6 cents. They asked to be permit
ted to make their bread in fluctuating
sizes. according to the price of flour.
Because of these complaints the
council passed an ordinance repeating
the standard weight ordinance, but
Mayor Alexander vetoed the repeal
The council reconsidered its action last
Tuesday and postponed further action
on the suggestion of the mayor, who
said he would call the conference that
met yesterday morning.

Mr.. HENRY BALFOUR
THE NOTtD TENOR
VIII sing every dfay between Ii and / and
from to 4, and play his own accom-
paniment on the Auto-piano

The Bartlett Music Co. at 231 South
Broadway, opposite the City Hail. does
not cease in its efforts to please and
entertain the public. During the past
few months the possibilities of the
AUTO-PIANO have been demonstrated
in its windows by several artists. First
came the Human Automaton," play
ing the AUTO-PIANO, and bets are
made whether IT. is alive or wax
figure. Then a young lady violinist of
note plays both instruments at the
same time, showing the ease of oper-
alton, and last and most practical of
all comes the noted tenor from New
York, Mr.. Henry Balfour, and sings
exquisitely, playing his own accom-
paniment That there is anything
musically impossible for the AUTO
PIANO does not seem to be true. We
understand that every day this week
from II to 1 and from 2 to 4 Mr.. Bal
four will give a free concert at the
Bartlett Music Co.'S store, opposite the
City Hall 1t is certainly worth hear
ing.

Woman Sues Modiste for $1o2, ALI
leging Dress Was Misft and That
Valuable Material Was
Wasted

The tribulations in Justice Stephens
court caused by misfit suit made by
Mrs DeVore Drake for Miss Lulu
Kepke in October ended yesterday
when the court decided the case in
favor of the dressnaker, the mild
statement in his decisions that the tes-
timony was highly contradictory con-
trasting with a remark of the previous
day that somebody was not telling
the truth"
Miss Kepke sued for the recovery of
s52, paid for the goods and their max
ing. and $50 damages on account of the
time she expended in fitting the dress
and consulting her attorneys.
The case has occupied several days
time and was most remarkable for the
riot of imagination as shown by the
evidence.
"The testimony" said Justice Steph-
ems in his decision, lis highly contra
dictory, and in many instances tmprob-
able. Added to this was the most un-
satisfactory line of expert evidence.
The court will not disturb, therefore,
the status quo of the parties, and viii
give Judgment for the defendant"

VISITOR MATCHES DOLLARS
AND COMPLAINS TO POLICE
Resident of Colorado Town Declares
He Was S~indIed by COM
panions at Seashore

George Kohler of Sterling, Colo, who
is spending a vacation in the beach
towns near Los Angeles, appeared at
the police station yesterday and re-
ported he had been persuaded to en-
gage in a game of matching dollars
with two strangers at Playa del Rey
and within a short time had lost $3.50.
Kohler then saw the men exchange
signals, and. realizing that he was
being swindled, protested and de-
manded his money. One of the men
drew a revolver and ordered him to
keep silent. Kohler obeyed and the
men hurried away.
Kohler described the man who drew
the revolver, and according to the po-
lice bulletin was shown a picture of
Billy Appel and identified it as being
the person who intimidated him. The
police say Appel has been in trouble
several times before and are looking
for him.

A NetU Burglar Alarm.

~ EPUTY CONSUI-G ENEBAL ULYS-
sEs ]. BYwATER reports that
AT Dresden engineer has invented the
latest and, he thinks, the best burglar
alarm now in existence. The appliance
has been tested by the Dresden police
department and found very effective The
appliance itself is very simple, consisting
of a curtain portiere wired with fine
conductors. At certain places on the cur
tain are fixed small metal knobs, which
connected with the conductors. The
curtain is then drawn across the window
or door. or around n safe. and the slight
est disturbance OF this position imme-
diately breaks the circuit, as the metal
knobs are thrown out Of contact with
each other. If the burglar should hap
pen TO notice the knobs and cut several
of the wires the breaking Of the circuit
would also start the alarm. Any cur
tain, unless made Of fireproof material,
would also act a burglar alarm. The
alarm itself may consist OF series OF
bells, lights or other electrical appII-
ances. The invention can be used to pro-
tect doors, windows or safes, and the
curtain can be arranged to suit the indi-
vidual

The First Gray Hair.

"a OTHING In woman's life matters
quite as much TO her as her first
gray hair. The finding of the gray
hair among the mass may have been
the result of an accident. but 1t was
there Just the same, and the worry
comes from it alone. There are many
causes for the hair losing its color and
turning gray besides the lapse Of years
and the coming on of age. Sudden and
severe attacks of neuralgia have been
known to cause gray hair, and much sor-
low will often leave the same effect.
The only remedy for gray hair, If there
must be a remedy, is to find some sort OF
n dye that will change it back again to
the proper color. 1t Is n lack of sulphur
and iron that often causes the hair to
turn gray before its proper time. and GER
tain properties possessed by these are
needed to darken as well strengthen.
The scalp becomes either too oily or too
dry. and the natural oils are either too
scant or too excessive in supplying the
nutriment SO the luster fades with the
color One of the best methods Is TO
take both sulphur and iron I'm small doses
to replace these qualities lacking in the
