wise now to make change-that ii
was not for the general good of the
city, but in their fight they lost, and
Walter Shelton was selected as his
successor,
Budget Passed.
AS soon as the regular session con-
vened the budget was made the reg
ular order of business. and, after
considerable discussion, it was passed
The assessed valuation of the city
was estimated at $9,378,000, and
the amount necessary to be raised for
administrative purposes was $85, $50,
that is inclusive of the revenue de-
rived from licenses and other
sources. After the deduction of rev
enues from this amount it is estimat-
ed that the amount necessary to
be raised by general taxation was
$57,OS0, and to raise this sum 1t
was estimated that levy of five
mills for the general fund and 1 1s
mills for the street fund was neces-
sary, making a total levy of 61a
mills.
A motion was made that the buget
be passed, and that a levy of 6 ~
mills be made, and 1t was unani-
mously carried.
Deficit About $4,000.
In the discussion of the bulge
it developed that the general defici
is about $4,000. A discussion o.
the subject disclosed that there wer,
unused moneys in the various fund
amounting to something over $4,000
and motion was made that war
rants to the amount of this sum b.
drawn in favor of the reficit, so tina
it will be reduced to about $4,000.
After the disposal of this matter
some one suggested the considera
ton of the sinking fund ordinance
but it never went beyond sugges
ton, as some one else more forcibl,
suggested that the council adjourn
for the evening, and formulated tn
suggestion into a motion, and it wa
unanimously seconded.

MOTHER THINKS
JEALOUS LOVER
POISONED GIRL
Authorities Investigating MyS-
teriouS Death of 18-Year-
Old Los Angeles Girl.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. |

Los Angeles, Dec. 29-In accord
ance with the request of Mrs Jennie

May Priest, an 1S-year-old girl who
died recently at Glendale after
mysterious illness extending over

gan an investigation to ascertain If
the mothers charge that jealous

true.
According to Mrs. Priest, her
daughter was engaged until her death
to Harry Sayre of Newark, NJ j.,
who, 1t is said is the son of a mill
ionaire manufacturer. 1t is reported
that she gave the sheriff and the
district attorney the name of the
woman who she suspects and that a
search is being made TO find the sus-
pected woman,
Miss Priest was seen to enter a
restaurant with woman shortly be-
fore she was attacked by the strange
malady, which caused her to lapse
into a state of coma from which she
never revived.
Five physicians attended her and
all agreed that she had died from
the effects of poison. Two of them
diagnosed her Illness as ptomaine
poisoning, while a third declared pos
itively that her death was caused by
zinc poisoning.
In the letters written by Sayre,
who is now in Arivoca, Ariz,, the
mother of the dead girl asserts she
was repeatedly warned against the
young woman with whom she dined.
Mrs. Priest has the letters In her
possession.

A lie Mans artist, Mr.. Echivard, q
designer of stained glass windows,
was reminded Of this fact one day by
reading an account of a stained glass
window In the Church of st. John at
Lunebourg in which the kaiser is de-
picted. He decided that the French
president should no longer lack an
honor that had been paid to the Ger
man emperor, and set to work on a
design showing M. Fallieres, the
president of the republic, and there

successor to the kings as honorary
canon, clothed in canon's cope and
