SHOOTS HIMSELF
INVALID CONFINED TO HIS CHAIR

Joseph GaseII, IndIeenf Suffering from
Locomotor Ataxla, Gives Up Un-
equal Fight Against Dis
case and Trouble

Joseph Gasell, a well-known figure
on the streets of Los Angeles for a
number Of years, committed suicide
Thursday morning in his room in the
house at 337 South Union avenue.
Gasell suffered from locomotor ataxia
and Travelled in a wheel chair.
He had been despondent for a num-
ber of years, and trouble with his wife
and family several years ago, which
caused a separation, is said to have
continually preyed upon the mans
mind.
Thursday morning he crawled from
his bed and obtained a revolver, and
few minutes later the landlady, Mrs.
Eliza Orth, was startled by the sound
of two shots.
On entering Gaselrs room she found
him lying with his right hand beneath
his head. A smoking revolver in his
left hand told the story of the mans
tragic end.
He had shot himself through the
heart, and in his endeavors to make
sure of ending his life fired the second
shot as he fell back on the bed, the
second bullet going through a window.
Deceased was an Odd Fellow, and
members of this order had partially
cared for the crippled man, but 1t is
thought the realization he was be-
coming a burden to others prompted
him to end his life.
The body was taken tc the under
taking rooms of Samson-Dexter COM
pany. The funeral will be this after
noon at 2 o'clock, with burial in Odd
Fellows cemetery. There will be no
inquest, certificate Of suicide having
been signed.

BOARD AIMS TO

PURPOSE OF COMMISSION Is
DETAILED
STATE EQUALIZATION EXPERTS
HOLD MEETING
Protests from Santa Barbara County
Representatives Call Forth Re-
monstrance from Chairman,
Who Explains Methods

The state board of equalization be-
gan it's sessions in the office of the
county assessor, Ed Hopkins, yester-
day, taking evidence regarding ap-
praisements of property in santa Bar
bara county in the forenoon and with
reference to Ventura county in the al
ternoon. Representatives from san
Luis Obispo county will be heard at a
short session today, and at the conclu-
sion of this hearing the board will ad-
iourn until Monday, when San Ber-
nardino, Riverside and orange county
appraisements will be considered. Los
Angeles county will follow on Tuesday.
1t was decided by the equallzers TO
postpone the hearing regarding Kern
county property until the meeting at
Sacramento.
Little of interest developed at the
meeting yesterday, although some crlti-
cism from the Santa Barbara delega-
ton called forth a rebuke from mem
bers of the board and an explanation
of it's purposes by the chairman, Al
exander Brown, who declared the work
Of the body had been conducted in all
fairness.
Mr.. Browns statement, which indt-
Gates the nature of the objections put
forth by the Santa Barbara represent
atiVes, was as follows:
"You are objecting when we have en-
QeaVOreQ TO SNOW IdlEllSSS Dy aShAiIS
YOU to select your own appraisers. IL
we had adopted some other method to
learn valuations and hired persons out
side your county to do the work l
think you would have objected more
strenuously. The object of the board is
to remedy unequal conditions, with a
resultant advantage to all counties.
owing to a lack of funds in previous
years, the board this year is making
more thorough examination of prop
erty valuations, and 1 think we will
come nearer doing our work according
to the demands of the law than ever
before. We are simply passing upon
valuations made by the counties them
selves. San Francisco, Alameda and
Los Angeles counties are exceptions,
and we have employed special apprais-
ers in these counties because they are
too large to permit of the other
method"
The figures gathered yesterday will
be taken to Sacramento for compila-
tion, and a report on the findings will
be rendered September II.

CHINESE LAUNDRYMAN WILL
APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
Declares Montana Law DiscrIminates
Against His Race and viii
Fight State to End

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-The con-
stitutional right Of state to enact
laws discriminating against the humble
Chinese laundrymen is to be investi-
gated by the supreme court of the
United States and test is to be made
by Quong Wing of Lewis and Clark
county, Montana.
The Montana law, to which Quong
takes exception, provides for a license
fee of $40 per quarter for hand laun-
dries run by men. 1t does not mention
the Chinese race but 1t exempts steam
laundries and laundries conducted by
women, unless more than two are en-
gagged.
Quong paid his license under protest
and then appealed to the courts on the
ground that as the law singles out a
class it is in contravention of the fed
eral constitution.
Processing himself deeply CONCERNED
about the maintenance of all rights un-
der the fundamental law, he volun-
tarily takes upon himself the expense
of bringing the case to the supreme
court before paying another $40.
The Montana supreme court sustained
the law.

Suicide

Investigation by the district attor-

]. V. Black, who committed suicide in

before he killed himself that one of his
bondsmen was about to withdraw as

the county jail.
Black was accused by Laura J. Pow
