How to Apply the Design

THERE are two ways to apply
: this design to the material
upon which you wish to work it.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the ike-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign and, with well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure
q piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down, upon this;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with hard pencil or
the point of steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper you will find neat and
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
There are two points to observe
in this simple process, if you would

GIVEN YEAR IN JAIL FOR
KILLING INDIAN OFFICER
Gil Zuenga Says He Stabbed in Self
Defense Policeman on Yuma
Reservation

One year in the county Jail and the
payment of a fine of 81 was the sem
tence meted out in the United States
circuit court yesterday afternoon to
Gil Zuenga, charged with the killing of
Charles Escalente, an Indian police
man.
After a trial lasting two days Zuenga
was found guilty of manslaughter and
Judge Wellborn, in announcing the
sentence, stated in his opinion the
murder was done under stress OF eX-
tenuating circumstances.
The killing of Escalente, who for
twenty years had officated as an Indian
policeman on the Yuma reservation,
caused a great sensation, but for a
long time the authorities investigating
the crime were unable to obtain intel
ligible information or witnesses to the
fatal stabbing.
Yesterday morning Zuenga testified
in his own behalf and admitted having
a knife in his hand during the fatal
scuffle, and that Escalente attacked
him. and that he welded the knife in
self-defense. He stated that he did not
know that Escalente was an official
and Judged from the method of attack
be was being held up and fought back.
The examination of physicians called
in the case bore out the statement
that the fatal wound was caused by d
deep knife slash and not the result of
a deliberate or premeditated stab.
The court accepted the admission of
Zuenga that he was guilty of man
slaughter and imposed the minimum

tent of Ringing Bros circus when it
visits Los Angeles Tuesday and
Wednesday, September 81 and %.
In Berlin last winter foreign agent
of the Ringing brothers saw the great
Schumann performing stations, Whlch
have been the wonder of all Europe.
The possibility of securing the animals
for a tour of America seemed almost
out of the question, However, a propo-
sition was made to Albert Schumann,
and the result is that the American
patrons of Ringing Bros. may now see
the greatest achievement of all the
animal trainers that ever lived.
Waiting on the hind legs and rolling
each other about in huge brewery bar
rels are some other acts these stations
do. 1t is truly a wonderful act, and
nothing like it has ever before been
seen in America. The rest of this sea-

DISTRICT ASSESSMENT
PLAN NOT FAVORABLE
PROPERTY OWNERS WANT CITY
TO PAY FOR SEWERS
Taxpayers Claim Expense for Storm
Drains in Their Territory Should
Be Paid by Municipality
as a Whole

1t is said it has become a well estab-
lished fact Los Angeles never will
build storm drains by the district
assessment plan. This has been estab-
lished apparently by the protest made
against every district plan storm sewer
proposition started by the board of
public works and was borne out by
the protest of property owners in the
Alameda storm sewer district, who
yesterday appeared before the board
of public works and asked that pro-
ceedings be abandoned.
But with these protests against
storm sewer districts has arisen the
important question of whether or not
Los Angeles is to have any more
storm drains and the board of public
works, by resolution, will ask the
council Tuesday to outline a policy.
The trouble which confronts the
board of public works when property
owners protest against paying for
storm sewers is said to be because
they have justice on their side. The
city has built storm drains by bonds.
In paying for these bonds every prop
erty owner in Los Angeles has paid
his share. But the bond money is ex-
hausted. With the Owens river pro-
ject and the free harbor to finance,
IAe DOdIu OF pupIlC NOIhS does not leGl
it is in a position to ask more bonds
for sewers and has resorted to the dis
trict assessment plan to pay for them.
Having paid a portion of the cost of
a storm drain for some other section
of the city the property owners in
each assessment district feel the re-
mainder of the city should pay a por-
tion Of the cost of their storm drain
and the board is forced to admit there
is merit in this contention.
The other alternative is to pay the
cost of storm sewers from the gen
eral taxation, which will have the
same effect as a bond issue but will
not require more bonds.
Will The council do this, is the ques-
tion he board of public works asks
of the council. It is probable all pro
ceedings for storm sewers under the
district plan will be abandoned by the
board unless the council agreed to as
sumo the burden of the cost frGsn the
general tax fund. 1t costs about $1,000
to bring a big storm sewer plan up to
the point where the property owners
may protest, and if the project is lost
through protest the city is out that
much money

PASADENA, Sept. 3.-President Taft
will pass three hours in Pasadena Oc-
tober Il, according TO the present
plans. ~.
But he will not eat luncheon with
the board of trade. President Taft has
written to the board saying he is eating
only two meals a day now, and thaI
luncheon is the one he cuts out.
The president is still trying to re-
duce his weight and has adopted this
plan as the most effiCacious. 1t un-
doubtedly saves a great deal of trouble
by relieving him Of the necessity OF
eating formal luncheons. 1t will also
deprive the board of trade OF a chance
to watch him eat.
The president also says in his mes
sage he wants to see Pasadena. inc
board of trade interprets this as mean
ing that he does not care to be put on
exhibition, and will be guided accord
ingly. .-
Aside from shaking hands for fifteen
or twenty minutes, Taft will have no
duties here except to enjoy himself.
He will be taken on an automobile ride
about the city and given chance to
rest in this way, while citizens who
wish to see him can watch him as he
rides slowly around the streets.
The board of trade believes this Is
the greatest kindness it can do Taft.
He will probably be ready for rest
by that time and the easy automobile
ride will give him an exceptional op-
portunity for relaxation, while it shows
him at the same time the beautiful
Crown city.
