CITY TO PAY FOR LIGHTING
BROADWAY OR BE PENALIZED

Hurry up with that money for the
Broadway lighting" is the text of a
communication sent the council by the
board of public works. Some time ago
the board asked the council for $143. 70
to pay the cost of the ornamental
lighting system in front of the city
hall for the next seventeen months.
The council sent the request to the
city attorney to see if the city was
assessable for this lighting, although
the city has paid its share every year
so far, under an agreement made with
the property owners.
The city attorney has not yet re-
ported on the matter. The assessment
will be delinquent February IS, and
unless the council takes action today
the city will be paralyzed.

SAYS OWNER EXAGGERATED
R00MING HOUSE RECEIPTS

Alleging that Mrs. Bessie l. Strick-
land placed too high a figure on the
estimated receipts at the Highland
Villa, rOoming house at 103 North
Hill street, Albert Pepin filed suit in
the superior court yesterday asking for
the rescission of a contract whereby he
gave seven lots in the Meyers and
Lynwood tracts and a note for $500 fo1
the house and its furnishings.
According to Pepin he made the trade
when Mrs. Strickland told him the
smallest receipts at the house were
$3.50 a month and the highest $225
Goodwill and furniture she placed at
$2250, which, Pepin says, is a high es-
innate. The receipts, he claims, never
exceeded $40 a month.

DANFORD DISBARRED
BY ORDER OF COURT
JUDGE HUTTON SCATHINGLY
DEN0UNCES HIM
Declares He Made False Represe nta.
tions, and Frightened, Drove and
BuIIied Old Woman Into
Payment

In a decision and opinion bristling
with adverse criticism Judge George
H Hutton ordered that the name Of
the roll of attorneys and counselors
of the courts of California and that he
be precluded from practicing.
Danfords disbarment followed a
three days legal battle in the superior
court, where he was made defendant
in proceedings instituted by the Los
Angeles Bar association, which
charged that he received $3130 from
Mrs. Catherine E. Smith for which no
service was rendered or contemplated.
1T is indispensable that an attorney
be trustworthy" says Judge Hutton,
quoting from another and similar
case. And he is not trustworthy if he
is capable of improperly applying to
his own use his clients money!
Mrs. Smith, Danfords accuser, is an
old woman, apparently infirm both in
mind and body, says the court, and
continues:
Much of her testimony and of the
testimony introduced in her behalf is
incredible; but standing out clearly
throughout the entire proceeding is the
bold, grim fact that the accused re-
Ceived from this woman $313O, for
which no adequate service was ever
rendered or contemplated, and which,
sum is so grossly disproportionate to
any possible contemplated service as
to render his Iconduct inexcusable and
indicates professional and moral de-
pravity.'
Defense Brushed Aside
Danford's defense that his employ
ment was twOfold, to defend Mrs.
Smith in a, criminal action pending in
icf, ia+ ~ 70
protect her against blackmail, the
court says, can be given little consid
eration-first, because Danford was
never entitled to practice in the Unit
ed States court, and, second, because
the evidence seems to prove that he
himself was a party to the blackInail-
ing scheme and hired "cappers' to
aid him.
In closing Judge Hutton says:
'It is manifest that the accused did
in this case take advantage of the
fact of his admission to practice in
the courts of this state to outra geous-
ly impose upon the confidence of this
old woman, and that he did, first, by
falsely representing himself to be en-
titled to practice in a court where he
had no standing, and, second, by q
most reprehensible course, with the aid
OF capperS, as hereinbefore described,
frighten, drive and bully this woman
into paying over the full sum of
S3100, for which no adequate service was
ever rendered or contemplated, and
which he could not even make a pre-
tense of earning, so far as the United
States court is concerned. His con-
duct, in my opinion, is a disgrace to
the profession, stencil in the nostrils
of every right-minded lawyer and
such as to show such a moral deprav-
ity as to wholly and utterly unfit the
accused to continue to practice as an
attorney"
Danford says he will appeal.

BANKERS ENDORSE BROWN
Letter Unanimously Ordered Written
Approving His Action in the
Case of Cashier Pharr.

That the Georgia Bankers Asso-
citation is, to a man, right behind the
law in regard to the punishment of
the guilty who betray their obliga-
lions and trust while handling the
publics money is proven by the fol-
lowing letter from L. P. Hillyer,
mails last night by L. P. Hillyer,
SECRETARY of the Georgia Bankers AS

The letter is self-explanatory, and
was unanimously ordered written by
the executive committee of the state
association at their meeting in Macon
a few days ago. The letter follows:

ernor Joseph M. Brown, Atlanta,
Ga.-My Dear Governor: The exec
utive council of the Georgia Bank
Iers' Association at meeting held
in Macon, Ga, on September 6, 1909,
requested me to write you that they
unanimously endorse your action in
refusing TO grant a pardon to DIN
Pharr, who betrayed his solemn trust
while acting as cashier of The Citi-
zens' Bank of McRae and embezzled
the funds of that bank. Your declar-
alton that to pardon such embezzlers
might tempt others to follow their
example is especially commended.
The Georgia Bankers Association
will uphold you in your wise deter
mination to let the sentences of con-
victed criminals stand-especially
those who are guilty of betraying
positions of trust. | am yours very

the room that, rather than one of
the windows, is carrying the out
draft and the smell of yesterdays
soup. The moral is, adjust the VEN
tilation so that the out-draft shall
be through q screened window. No
fly will ever see a door open and
deliberately fly in.
For the same reason all unused
chimneys connected with fireplaces
ought to be screened just as care
fully as the windows. In the cool
weather of early fall when the flies
are worst the chimney-draft is us
ually outward. The fly never hunts
for an opening to come in by, but
he does head upstream to an air cur
rent which bears the SAVIOR of most
human foods. Therefore, when the
air of home goes out of a chimney
the fly comes in.
Six Million Germs Per Fly.
Regarded as a continuance for dis

eases the fly is one of natures mas
terpieces. A fairly large bacterium
is as much smaller than a fly as a
fly is smaller than an elephant. The
microbes of many of our ordinary
contagious disorders are a thousand
times more minute than this. The
insect, moreover, is equipped with
spines, hairs, folds, cavities and pro-
jections innumerable for microbes to
cling to. In addition each of it's six
little feet has the sticky pad which
we used to call a sucker, adhesive
enough to hold the fly on a window
pane and therefore just the thing
for picking up germs by the hundred.

and loaded with $4,000 bacteria of
one species alone. Moreover, the

fly, living on infected food, takes
the microbes into its own digestive
tract, carries them ABOUT for days,
and deposits them by thousands in
the Fly specks" There, for exam
| pie, bacillus tuberculosis may live
for two weeks.
1t would be bad enough if the fly
merely crawled about in the sputum
of tuberculous patient or the de-
Jecta of case of typhoid, and then
simply infected the food on the way
to our mouths. 1t does worse than
this; it starts culture of the deadly
germs in the food which we are to
eat tomorrow, and by the time to-
morrow arrives the single microbe
has become thousand.
Here is a sample of class of facts
which may well give pater familas
pause. At one of the Connecticut
agricultural experiment stations, by
way Of finding how many bacteria
a fly can transfer to a milk jar, they
tried shaking up flies in sterilized
water and estimating the numbers
washed off. The record number was
S,80O,000 from eighteen individ-
uals, or more than 6,500,OOO apiece.
Nearly all adult insects are, in
greater or less degree, subject to
that strange attraction which draws
the prdverbial moth to the candle
flame. All, in our scientific targon,
are positively phototropic to lights
of moderate intensity This does
not mean in the least that they pre-
fer light to darkness, or that they
have either interest or curiosity con-
corning candle-dames. They simply
act like a green plant in a window,
and head upstream to the light-ray.
The green plants which move. move
lightward. So, and for the same rea-
son, does the insect. CuriousIy
enough, too, just as in the case of the
plant, it is the blue component of
the light that is most effective. Too
bright light, however, works the
other way. The insect becomes neg
atiVely phototropie,' heads away from
the light, and, if it flies at all, flies
on the whole toward the darker re-
g1ons. In general, too, each sort of
insect has it's special place where it
draws the line between the moder-
ate light toward which it turns it's
head, and the excessive light on
which it turns it's back.
Those terribly scientific people, the
Germans, are utilizing this common
phototropism of insects to sIay OBJ
jectionable moths by the ton. They
set light, of just the right size and
brightness, where it will attract the
moths into the sphere of influence of
a vacuum fan. After that nothing
remains to be said concerning the |
moths.
The common fly is much less sensi- !
tive to light than the moth; never |
theless, he is sufficiently phototropic |
to be Vulnerable on that side Every
housekeeper has noticed that on GER
tain cloudy days her flies collect on
the screens and window panes, as if
they were trying to get out. 1t is
good plan to let them. The dim il
Elimination inside the house has
made them uncommonly sensitive to
light, while outside the light is not
so bright that their protropism be-
comes negative
In fact, one can usually, after a
little experience, no matter what the
weather, clear room of flies by the
obvious device of opening the win
dow and letting them fly out.

JESSE JAMES WIFE.
Widow of Noted Bandit Is DevOut
Religious Worker.

NCAASAOuS NOfkcE.
Mrs. Jesse James, widow of the
noted Missouri bandit, has been one
of the most devoted attendants at
the annual evangelistic campmeeting
at Ocean Grove, N. J. This fact be-
came known when an ardent woman
evangelist dropped dead before the
audience of two thousand persons
while leading the prayer.
Among those who went to the
stricken woman's assistance was
Mrs. James, and then for the first
time it was learned that the aged
but enthusiastic woman who worked
so conscientiOusly for the success
of the campmeeting during the last
few years was the widow of Jesse
James.
Mrs. James has been living quiet
ly at the religious resort and daily
has led the large meetings in song
and prayer. At the love feast, 4"
which is a regular part of the daily
programme, Mrs. James has recited
ner personal testimony telling of the
great relief which her religious be-
lief has brought her.
