in this respect Tonopah is no ex-

Yesterday the attention of Dis

Mr.. Ross, after a short investigation,
announced that he would open a
night school and furnish a teacher
if fifteen scholars could be secured.
There will be no age limit to the
attendants and any who desire to
educate themselves should inform
Mr.. Ross and as soon as the requir-
ed number of students are secured,
they will be given every opportunity
to better their conditions.

cents in 1898, where it has since stood and at an enormous loss
to the government The delegates to the recent annual convention
Of hrstclass postmasters held at Toledo, Ohio, were almost unani-
nous in the opinion that an increase Of the registry fee from s
to 10 cents would not be opposed or criticized by the public when
It was understood that the present rate results in a loss to the
government, and the department is now seriously considering an
advance in the rate to that figure. In all probability such an in
crease in the registry fee would not swell the volume of the reg
lstry business or turn the loss into profit or even sef-sustainment.
The people are steadily learning the advantage of banking, with
It's check system, and in rapidly increasing numbers they are be-
coming bank depositors and employing the banks rather than the
postothce for the transmission of money; the bank system is far
more convenient and much less expensive; and it is human ma
ture to take a pride in having a bank account. The United States
government may go into the baking business increasingly and
hold out all sorts of inducements to the public to patronize it; but
i will continue to be a losing venture. And the sooner the post
office department senses the fact and acts accordingly, the better
It will be for everybody concerned.

Al Laughlin was taken into Gus

ing while he was parading Main
street in a costume that was notice.
able for its simplicity. He was at
tired only in his undergarments and
was laboring under the delusion that
he was dressed in the latest fall and

Deputy Sheriff Slavin noticed
Laughlin walking the street and inn
mediately took him in charge and
then proceeded to the demented
mans cabin where he was attired in
his proper dress and then taken to
the county jail.
Laughlin Is about As or SO years
of age, and has been studying the
occult laws of some Hindoo society,
and it is believed that this litera-
ture turned his mind. After being
taken to the county Jail he was at
tackled by an epileptic fit and 1t re-
quired the services Of six men to
keep him under control. DR.. Cum

moned and Quilted the man. He will
probably be examined by an INSANITY

As a purely buseiness proposition the registry Of letters BY the
postofice department is an absolute failure; the government losses
millions Of dollars every year by the process; thirty-hye years ago
the registry fee, which under the law may be as high as 20 cents
at the discretion of the postmaster general, was reduced from 15
cents to s cents-a very foolish proceeding, for the volume Of
registry business was not perceptibly increased by the reduction;
the next year, In 1875, the department raised the fee to 10 cents,
but with no material results in the matter Of increased revenue;
and after a trial Of eighteen years the fee was again reduced to s

one of the oldest pioneers of Los An
geles county was filed for probate IN
the superior court yesterday, disposing
of property valued, according to the
accompanying petition, at 100000, but
by many persons estimated to be valued
at more than twice that sum.
Other than the declaration that she
is married and that her husbands
name is ]. w. Winston, Mrs. Winston
makes no other mention of her hus-
band in the will, her entire interest
in the estate, left by her father, be-
ing placed in the hands of her sister,

ANIMAL LEAGUE
FACES TROUBLE
DISSATISFIED MEMBERS PLAN
TO CALL MEETING
ACTION OF PRESIDENT CAUSES
INDIGNATION
Miss Helen Mathewson Presents New
Bylaws which Would Prolong
Her Term of Office Until
January

Members of the Humane Animal
league who disagree with the present
policy of the president, Miss Helen
Mathewson, and the board Of directors,
met at the Hotel Alexandria Tuesday
afternoon to consider ways and means
Of calling the annual meeting of the
league in May. Six weeks ago Miss
Mathewson presented to the board OF
directors new bylaws which would set
the annual meeting for January, there
by prolonging her term of office. This
caused q division in the membership.
A large number allege that she stuffed
the membership of the league in order
to win her point, and secure longer
term in office. These met yesterday af-
ternoon to protest against the alleged
illegal adoption of new bylaws.
Petition Signed
The meeting was called to order by
George L. Lawson, former assistant
secretary of the league, who stated
that the purpose of the meeting was
we'll within the rights of the league
membership. Action was taken de-
handing that the annual meeting of
the league be held on Tuesday, May
25. The bylaws require the signatures
OF ten members of the league for the
issuing of a call for a meeting in the
event of the president of the league de-
clining to call one. Already sixteen
signatures have been secured. Mr..
Lawson states that an effort will be
made to secure twenty-five signatures
in order to show that the disaffection
is widespread.
The petition which is now being cir
culated reads as follows:
VIII Call Meeting
"In view of the failure of the presi-
dent and board Of directors of the HUI
name Animal league of Los Angeles to
call the annual meeting of the league
on the first Tuesday of May, 1909, as
the bylaws, which have governed the
proceedings of the said Humane league
of Los Angeles since its incorpora ton,
we, the undersigned, request the hold
ing of said annual meeting of the So
ciety, or a special meeting as a substi-
tute, on Tuesday, May 25 1909, at 2:3O
p. M, the place to me named at later
date and announced in the daily papers
as directed in section of article V of
the bylaws This request is made in
accordance with section of article V
of the bylaws obtaining since the in
corporation of the Humane Animal
league of Los Angeles.
This petition becomes mandatory
upon the secretary of the Humane Ami
NAL league of Los Angeles when signed
by ten members of the leauge in ac-
cordance with articles X and V, section
2. of the bylaws. Failure to comply on
the part of the secretary will only pass
the responsibility of issuing the call UP
to the signers of this petition"
