childhood. bounding into the midst of
the saucer eyed babies as they stood
in silent wonder around the glittering
Christmas tree.
There was a long silence, and then
conscience stricken little boy, squirm-

II didn't just say / don't believe in
Santa Claus; all l said was that he
wasn't here"
Santa seemed to be satisfied with
the explanation. Wont you sing me

at that a half dozen girls, hardly more
than babes, piped up with Come. All Ye

2 ATTEMPT SUICIDE;
RESULT OF QUARREL
Unreasoning Jealousy OF Greek
for Woman May Result in
Death to Both
Following Alteration Woman
Takes Poison While Man
Shoots Himself

Acting underIthe influence of unrea-
soning jealousy of his paramour Mabel
Beasley. a beautiful woman of 27 years.
Costos Thamas, wealthy Greek grocer,
last night precipitated a tragedy which
may result in the death of both. After
bitter quarrel over the receipt of a
Christmas card, during which Thamas
brutally assaulted the woman. she took
poison and he shot himself in the
breast. Mabel Beasley lies in serious
condition at the central emergency hos
pital, but the physicians are hopeful of
mel recovery. The man probably will
die.
The tragical happenings took place at
the Bergeren apartments. 1424 Cough
street, where the couple has lived to-
gether six months. The Christmas
card which started the trouble was
received from a friend in the northern
part of the state. Thamas showed his
displeasure by beating and kicking the
woman, and in consequence she deter
mined to leave him. Going downstairs
with this intention she was followed
by the madly jealous Greek, who again
thrashed her and threatened her with a
revolver. Her shrieks and cries at
tracted the attention of others living in
the house, and Thamas desisted.
Made desperate by the two beatfngs,
mercury tablets at Il drug store and,
returning to the rooms she has occu-
pied with Thamas, swallowed several
of them. Thamas, when he saw her
fall unconscious, believing her dead
caught up the pistol with which he had
previously threatened her life and
fired bullet into his own breast.

oNATION FOR GOVERNoR

Governor James n. Gillett was given
an ovation in the afternoon when he
spoke on The State of California;" He

COURT TO SETTLE
PRIMARY DISPUTE
Suit Is Begun to Determine
Whether Old Register May
Be Used Next August
Local Election Commission In-
Sists That Voters Enroll
for Coming Contest
By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH

The supreme court of California paved
The way yesterday for a speedy deter
m.nstion Of the dispute over the valid
fly Of the employment Of the old regis
ter in the preparation of petitions FOR
places on the primary election ballot to
be voted next August. The court issued
an alternative writ, returnable January
g. on the application of Henry T.
Griebe.
Griebe's application for a writ Of
mandate to compel the board Of cleo
fion commissioners TO use the old reg
lister for 1908 and 1903 with that for
1910 as a supplement is friendly ac-
zion designed TO secure an Immediate
adjudication Of a question upon which
politicians generally and state candi-
dates especially are disagreed with the
announced attitude OF the San Fran
cisco election commission.
The suit was instituted at the in
stance Of the San Francisco board after
the county clerks association had form
ally advocated a speedy decision of the
matter by the courts. President Thomas
Y. Gator Of the San Francisco commits
sion took the initiative In securing the
test suit. and as usual he will be the

the old primary Law to every precinct
in the state. The direct primary cleo
lion Law became operative in June,

West Virginia. Judge Sanders was Sc
verely wounded by being struck on the
head with a heavy inkstand. thrown by
Judge Williams while bill of exceptions

it was being made up Judge Williams
criticised the court and the counsel for
the Freeman boys, making an accusation
to which Judge Sanders replied with Wig
or, passing the lie conditionally. Judge
Williams who was sitting on the other
side OF the table, picked up a heavy in
stand and threw it just as Judge Sanders
got to his feet, striking Sanders just be-
hind the right ear.
Sanders, fell and on rising attempted to
strike Williams with a chair, and Will

Dream Book of Modern Science.

From Success Magazine.
Modern science is writing dream book
of its own to take the place of the UNI
authorized and mischievous manual in
vogue among the superstitious. When
completed it will be remarkable pro-
duction, wonderfully interesting and
thoroughly practical and helpful.
Science, of course, does not assert that
all dreams are significant A good many
dreams-and especially the commoner
dreams of falling. flying and the various
forms Of nightmare-merely testify to
some trifiing disturbance of the physical
organism of the dreamer. This has long
been recognized, and the textbooks are
full of anecdotes showing how dreams
may be made to order, so to speak
One experimenter, by tickling a Sleep

was being plastered over his face and
then violently pulled off. causing agon-
izing pain: uncovering his knees gave
him a dream OF travelling in a stage
coach In the dead of winter and suffering
frightfully from the cold: putting hot
water bottle to his feet made him dream
that he was walking over the lava of an
active volcano.
But while approaching the inconsequen-
tial character of dreams induced by such
means. as also by indulgence in late
suppers. the cramping of muscle
through lying too long in one position, or
the slipping off of the bedclothes, science
insists that there are times when even
