The RovaI Assent.

is the form of words in which the
English king is accustomed TO signify
his royal assent 10 bill which has
passed both houses of parliament and
is ready to he made statute law.
They are. however. not the only
form of old Norman-French words
which has survived and is still in
usage in the British parliamentary
system. Thus. for instance. when II
bill is sent up for consideration from
the commons to the lords ii is Endorsed
by the clerk with the words. Soft
battle aux Seigneurs" Get it be sent tn
the lordsl. and when the converse oI'-
GRAFTON takes place the corresponding
words are SOFT baille aux communs.
The royal assent TO money bills is
more deliberately expressed. lie roy
remercie SEES bons sujets. accepte leur
benevOlence ct ainsi lie veult" UhP
king thanks his loyal subjects. accepts
their gift and SO wills it,. For private
bills still another form of assent is
used. "Soit fait CONNIE il est desire =

WILL COST MORE TO DIE.

Coffin Makers Propose Raise In Price
of FuneraIs-Too Many Undertakers.
The burial casket manufacturers and
jobbers in convention in Cincinnati
expressed dissatisfaction because the
cost of dying has not kept pace with
the increased cost of living. They
deprecated cut rate funerals and pro-
posed TO establish uniform prices for
the retail trade in collins.
1--WE coffin makers want the under
takers to help us out more than they
do" said one delegate. I'VE want the
undertakers to make sitter bills. and
then we can get more for our goods.
Why should we have to pay double
what we used to pay to live and let
people die cheaply? 1t isn't fair and
it isn't logical. There are too many
undertakers. They are cutting each
others throat to get business, and.
what is more to the point. they are
cutting prices. Another thing. the sup
ply of collins is greater than the de-
mand. That's what makes 'em so
cheap"

William Insco Buchanan. who died
suddenly in London few days ago,
served as minister to Argentina from
1894 to 1000. He knew nothing of
diplomacy when he went TO South
America in a diplomatic capacity, but
proceeded to apply his business knowl-
edge with such success that the ad-
vantage of closer trade relations be-
tween North and South America be-
came known all over the southern con-
tinent.
One of his most notable accomplish
ments was to prevent war between
the Argentine Republic and Chile over
the boundary question, which had dis
turbed their relations for many years.
The arbitrators named by the two
governments selected Mr. Buchanan
as umpire. His decision was regard
ed as a master stroke Of diplomacy,
and it increased his reputation

Fels-Naptha soap will make kitchen
work easier, just as it does the washing of
clothes Fels-Naptha will clean anything
that is cleanable, and do it far better and
quicker than any other soap.
Try it on your pots, pans, dishes and
other kitchen utensils. 1t will "cut'' the
grease quick as a wink and leave them
bright and shiny. 1t will clean glassware
and china, and polish them at the same
time.
And because it will do this far better
in cold or lukewarm water, there is no
danger of breaking fragile glass and china
by putting them in scalding water.
Kitchen sinks, shelves, cupboard and
floor should all be scru b bed with
Fels-Naptha. 1t whitens woodwork as
well as cleans it, and neither reaches nor
ants will infest a kitchen where the clean
ing is regularly done with Fels-Naptha,
and chips of the soap placed where they
congregate.
Follow the easy directions on the

OFFERS TO ANSWER
CHARGES RELATIVE
TO DEATH OF WIFE
Husband, of Woman Who Died After
Eating Chile Leaves San Diego
to Surrender to Los
Angeles Police

E. T. Bennett, former Los Angeles
real estate broker for whom detectives
working from the district attorneys
office say they have been searching for
some time and who Is alleged to be
connected with the death of his wife,
who died presumably of ptomalne
poisoning after eating small quantity
of canned chile several months ago, will
arrive in Los Angeles this morning and
surrender himself to the authorities to
answer what charges they may prefer
against him.
The case, which is said to be a mys-
terious one by the district attorney S
detectives, was brought to the atten-
tion of the coroner several months ago
when Bennett and his wife became vio-
lently sick after eating some canned
chile. The woman died after intense
suffering and Bennett recovered after
several hours heroic treatment by a
physician.
Some time after the death of Mrs.
Bennett the husband left Los Angeles.
Later a rumor was started that there
were suspicious circumstances attend
ing her illness, and Wednesday the
portions of her internal organs removed
and taken to the city chemist for
analysis.
Yesterday Bennett learned that he
was wanted and called on the chief of
police at San Diego and offered to sur
render himself. AS there was no war
rant out for his arrest he was not taken
into custody. Bennett then requested
the San Diego officer to notify the Los
Angeles police that he would arrive in
Los Angeles Friday to answer to any
charge that might be preferred against
him.
Bennett stated to the San Diego chief
of police that he had been living at 1880
University street in that city since
May 1 and had made no effort to hide
himself

YOUNG LAWYER
AGAIN ARRESTED;
CHECK NOT GOOD
Taylor Arraigned In Police Justice
Court on Accusation Made by
=. Attorneys client-Un-
able to Give Ball

Blaine Taylor, a well known young
attorney, having offices in the Slim
son building, who was arrested Tues
day night at the instigation of f. X.
Hawley, a real estate operator, on a
charge of passing a. fictitious check ana
who was released Wednesday aLteI-
noon when the complainant failed to
produce sufficient evidence to warrant
the issuance of a complaint, was taken
into custody late yesterday afternoon
and arraigned in Police Justice VIII
Iiams' court on a complaint charging
him with passing a Valueless check.
The complaint was sworn to by RoperI
L. McCulloch, an insurance agent OF
315 South Broadway.
Justice Williams set the preliminary
hearing for 1880 o'clock this morning
and fixed Taylors bail at $500. Inc
accused was unable to furnish TINS
amount and was sent back to a cell IN
the city jail.
Taylor was seen in the city Jail last
night, and declared that he would nave
no trouble in proving his innocence. he
said the trouble arose over $l5 check
that had been given on the Broadawy
Bank and Trust company and which
had been returned marked mo funds.
The circumstances of the transaction.
as related by Taylor Is that the ac-
cused is attorney for McCulloch, who is
a defendant in divorce proceedings, the
plaintiff being represented by Attorney
George P. Adams. Several days ago 1t
became necessary for McCulloch to pay
SIS to his wife He related the cir
cumstances to Taylor and the latter,
it is said, agreed to attend to the mat
ter, and deposited $15 from his own
funds and then drew on this amount
and made the check payable to Adams.
Later McCulloch, who evidently was
not aware that Taylor had given a
check for the amount to Adams, is
alleged to have handed Taylor Sl5,
with the remark that the money was to
cover the amount handed to Mrs. Nc
Culloch.
In the meantime the check that had
been given to Adams had been pre-
sented at the bank, and was returned
marked mo funds" the money that
had been deposited to cover it evidently
having been used to pay other checks
issued by Taylor.
Taylor declares he acted in good
faith, and had no intention of defraud-
ing his client He attributes the diff
ficulty to the appearance of forgotten
checks that were presented at the
bank.

DRIVER OF WATER WAGON
FALLS WITH DULL THUD

TRUNK on the water wagon. That
was what Cecil Appleford, driver
~ of a Los Angeles city sprinkling
cart, told the police yesterday morning
when he was brought into central po-
lice station.
Cecil was crying bitterly when Pa
trolman Carter brought him to police
Headquarters, and stated he did not
mind being drunk, but he hoped his
parents would not learn of it. Cecil is
hut 21 years of age, and said he had a
right to drink if he wanted to, but did
not imagine that the officers had a
right to arrest him.
IT was drunk and I am glad of it"
said Cecil when he was lined up before
the police sergeant, land it's nobody's
business but that of my folks. Just
because / drive, water wagon is no
reason why should have to remain in
the drivers seat all the time"
Cecil cried and begged to be let Off
hut was refused. Then he asked for
an immediate trial, that he might have
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-05-21

chance to prove that he was not
drunk, but drinking. The officers did
not consider the prisoner in proper con-
dition to appear before police justice
and decided that several hours in the
drunk tank would help his reasoning
powers.
1t was decided that Cecil should re-
main in Jail until this morning, al
though he pleaded that the streets in
the section of Twenty-eighth and Mi
mosa streets would have to go dry
yesterday.
That Cecil did not go dry was i'm
pressed upon the officers, when two
half pint TASKS filled with whisky were
removed from his clothing.
If he can only get back on the water
wagon Cecil said he would be happy,
and that he will hold the reins tight
and not get off the wagon, were the
assurances that he made. Police JUS
tice Rose will have the opportunity
this morning of deciding whether Cecil
is in earnest or not.
