LOSES Ills TEMPER,
SLABS MOTHER IN-LAW
G. w. DunaWay Accused of Striking
His Wlfe's Parent When
She Dared Him to
Do So

Declaring that her son-in-law, G.. w.
DunaWav, visited her home and, after
an alteration. struck her in the race,
Mrs. Eta M. Thomas of 116 South Hope
street. appeared at the office of the
deputy district attorney at the central
police station and told her story TO
Deputy District Attorney Arthur
Keetch, who issued a complaint against
Dunaway charging him with battery.
According to her story Mrs. Thomas
daughter Mildred, was married to
Runaway last September. The couple
lived happily for a short time, then
had a disagreement and separated, the
man going his way and the young wife
going to her mothers to live.
Mrs. Dunaway did not ask her hus-
band to support her and would not
consent to a reconciliation when i'm
portuned by her husband to return to
him.
On Friday night Dunaway called at
the home of Mrs. Thomas to see his
wife. The latter refused to listen to
him. and a quarrel ensued. Mrs
Thomas interfered, and heated words
were passed. Finally Dunaway is said
to have threatened to slap Mrs. Thomas
if she did not discontinue talking to
him. She dared him to fulfill his threat
and repeated her challenge Then, she
saws. Runaway stepped forward and
struck her singing blow in the face
The alleged battery was committed
i'm the presence of Mrs. Dunaway and
Mrs Thomas to the district attorneys
office and corroborated the statements
of Mrs. Thomas.
A warrant was issued for Dunaway' S
arrest and he probably will be a.
raigned in police court Monday.

POVERTY DRIVES
Him TO SUICIDE
RESPONDENT MAN ENDS LIFE
BY HANGING
UNABLE TO SUPPORT FAMILY, HE
SEEKS DEATH
Louis Newman Tires of Struggle
Against odds-5ody Found
Suspended from
Door

Lewis Newman, 40 years old, COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself tic
door at his home at 1876 East
Eighteenth street. The body was dis
covered by Mrs. Newman when she
arose early yesterday morning. De-
spondency because of his inability to
properly support his wife and five
young children caused Newman to end
his life.
Newman and his family came to Los
Angeles four years ago from the east
He had plenty of money when he ar
rived and prospered. Bad investments
resulted in heavy losses and finally
their last cent was gone
Newman sought employment as a
laborer but was unsuccessful and was
unable to earn money enough to sup
port his family. Several days ago he
told his wife he was going to end his
life IF something did not turn VI
soon"
Friday night he waited until all the
family were asleep. Then he took a
rope which he had obtained for that
purpose, tied one end around a door
knob and threw the free end over the
ton of the door. He then got on a
chair tied a moose about his neck and
Jumped. So quietly was the act done
that none of the family was awakened
When Mrs. Newman arose and start
ed into the kitchen to get the morning
meal she was shocked to, see the body
of her husband hanging in the door
way. She notified the police and they
in turn informed the coroner.
The body was ordered removed tc
the undertaking establishment OF
Pierce Bros, and Coroner Hartwell
probably will sign a certificate of sui
eide without holding an inquest.

The Claims
of PuritaS
Against Filter
No Mechanical Device in Exist
ence Can Rid the Natural
Water Here of All It's Impuri-
ties. Distillation Is the Only
Method Recognized by Sci
entists and People of Sense.

During the rainy season some
housewives tie cloths around the fau-
Gets. They learn that the water is not
only "riley," but filthy. Some house
wives gladly welcome the filter man,
and they learn according to the ex-
cellence of the device he sells them
that the water is still filthier.
These mechanical devices remove
only a part of the vegetable impurities,
washed into the water through the soil
by the rain The impurities that are
left are those most likely to cause dis
ease,
Distillation-take note-removes the
PURE PART of the water in the form
of steam This steam is gathered and
recondensed into water--pure water.
Moreover, we turn the water into steam
twice to absolutely insure purity.
This is not all. Small wonder that
the ordinary distilled water is called
fiat" But Puritas has zest and
sparkle. We pass current of cleo
tricity through purified air, thus Sc
curing ozone, and this is forced into
the distilled water.
Puritas is ineXpensive-5 gallons cost
but 40c. Just telephone US, Home

BUY ENGINES FOR
AQUEDUCT WORK
BIG CATERPILLAR TRACTION
MACHINES NEEDED
NEW INVENTION is PROVING A
GREAT SUCCESS
Apparatus That Runs on Belt and
Consequently Is Not Retarded
by Sand Being Used on
Owens River

The board of public works yesterday
adopted specifications for material for
the Owens river aqueduct that gives a
fair idea of how things are bought on
the wholesale plan for this big project
The most costly item is that for
caterpillar traction engines. The city
will Immediately purchase twelve of
these machines to add to the four al
ready in service and in few months
will probably have to purchase tWelNe
more They cost $500 each. The
economical value of these engines is
shown by a comparison of the figures
for which they do the work with the
bids submitted by private contractors.
These engines are doing traction work
for % cents a ton mile, for which the
lowest bid received was 40 cents and
for 40 cents a ton mile they are doing
the work that the lowest bidder want
ed 80 cents for.
These machines are recent lnVen-
ton. Instead of running on wheels
alone. as do all other traction engines,
a sort of corduroy belt runs around
the wheels from front to back and the
engine travels on this belt. AS re-
suit it can go through deep sand where
an ordinary engine would be stalled.
They can climb steep hills and glide
across narrow canyons with ease.
To Buy Apparatus
Other items for which specifications
were adopted are: $500 cross arms,
~ wheeled scrapers, 10000 pounds of
copper wire, five miles of trolley Wire,
100. 900 feet of galvanized iron wire
and 5000 feet of copper conduction
wire.
William Mulholland, chief engineer
for the aqueduct, and w. B. Mathews,
attorney, have just returned from
Washington, where they completed the
final details of the right of way of the
conduit.
The trip to Washington was the last
action resulting from the special law
passed by congress last year amending
the government land laws so as to
give Los Angeles the authority 1t need
ed in the Owens river valley. A COM
plete set of amended maps of the right
of way of the aqueduct was filed with
the department of the interior for rati-
fication and there is no doubt these
will be approved as they do not con-
f1ict with any of the government $
plans. Some of them were approved
before the Los Angeles officials LETT
Washington.
A bill has been passed by congress
giving Los Angeles title to the bed or
n dry lake near Tehachapi. This lake
bed covers about 230 acres and is filled
with clay, which will be used in maxi
ing the cement at the city's cement
mill at Tehachapi.

LUNCHEON GIVEN BY
STANFORD CLUB MEN
Coach Explains That Game with ST
Vincent's Was Not True Test.
Expects to Defeat
Berkeley

Fifty members of the Los Angeles
Stanford club met yesterday in the
private banquet room of the Hotel Hol-
ienbeck for their regular monthly
luncheon. Ten members of the uni
versity baseball team who played
against ST Vincent's college during the
morning were guests of honor.
Coach George Presley, who has sue
ceeded Jimmy flanagan, made an in
teresting address, telling the graduates
of the athletic prospects of their anna
mater for the coming season.
Judging by the showing made this
morning in the game with St Vincent
college you would be justified in the
belief that we will be defeated easily
in the contest with the University of
California" said Presley. But such is
not the case. Our men played poor
ball this morning, and they can do
much better. The game with Califor-
mia will be a close one, as usual.
eff every man on the track team
does what is expected of him we will
win the track meet with California by
a, few points. We will have to fight
hard to win. If we lose, it will be by
only a few points. The probation sys-
tenn enforced this year by the faculty
as a result of the recent difficulty with
the students has hampered us greatly
in getting up good athletic teams.
MANY of our best athletes have been
disqualified.
',The relative merits of Rugby foot
ball and the old game are still in de-
bate. Here in Los Angeles you have
never had an exhibition of real Rugby.
The games played here have been a
combination of basketball with the
worst features of the old game.
1.-THE same qualities are required in
a man to play Rugby as were brought
out by the old game. A mere Splinter
or track man is not necessarily a good
man for Rugby. Rugby is no ladies'
game, as has been suggested. 1 do not
schools should force their students tn
adopt Rugby. ! believe they should be
allowed to take it up voluntarily or
continue with the old game"
President George Dryer brought sew
eral business matters before the club,
the most important being the attitude
which the club should take toward the
new association of college men just or
ganized in this city. 1t was decided
that the movement to combine the col
lege men is commendable, provided thu
new organization does not enter the
field of current political discussion. The
appointment of representatives from
the Stanford club to the new associa-
ton was left, by motion, to the eXecu-
tive committee.
Plans for an old-time college smoker
for Stanford men We're suggested amid
cheers, and it is probable that one OF
these typical college gatherings Will be
arranged soon.

"a very dignitied young man took a

ess who joined in the after dinner
story telling. Near him were three
travelling statesmen, well dressed, jolly
fellows. one of whom suggested a
game of cards, and the others agreed
They appealed to the young man to
