The honorary members Of the
Mazuma N. l. II. Club gave a
dancing party at the Temple
Theatre last Friday night.
This was the last of a series OF
social functions given by mem
bers of the club, and proved to
be a delightful affair. Early in
the evening the guests seemed
more disposed to so;iability than
dancing. There were about
twenty-five icouple present.
Dancing began at nine and con-
tinued until the midnight hour.
Between the dances a number of
gentlemen sang a few of the
popular songs. The hostesses

home on fifth avenue Height, in
honor of the two visitors within
our gates, Mrs. Bolte and Miss
Greninger, at a representation
book party. The guests were in
formed that they were in some
way to represent favorite book
and give a quotation from it..
Our poetic genius had brilliant
idea; it was to spring surprise
on the hostess. A list of the
guests was secured through the
society reporter, and they were
all duly requested to appear in
white, wearing the scarlet letter
and later each one represent
kheir own peculiar book. l he
day was raw and cold and opera
cloaks and long coats were press
ed into service to at least partial
ly conceal the white gowns. TIC
say that Mrs. Bruce was sur
prised expresses it mildly, as all
the guests entered into the joke
and it created no end of merri-
nent. After pheasant social
time the guessing began. Mes
danes Rublee, Stuckey and Bolte

"WHO PAYS BAND?"
IS ASKED IN COURT
JUDGE BUSY OVER DEMOCRAT
PARADE QUANDARY
Band Leader and a Score of Others
Demanding $2oe from Albert
M. Norton for
Music

Testimony in the suit of M. c. Glenn
against Albert NJ Norton and a score
or more others for sos. alleged to
be due for furnishing four bands in
the Democratic parade October 81, last
year. was heard by Justice Pierce yes
terday and the case was continued
until 10 o'clock Saturday for argu-
ment.
The defendants were sued as IN
dividual members of the Democratic
county central committee, OF which
Mr.. Norton was chairman. Several of
the defendants were present in court
and contended that they took no part
in providing for the supplying of
funds for the campaign or for the dis
bursement of the money, and asked to
be relieved from any obligation in the
matter.
Attorney George NJ. Harker, repre-
senting Glenn, brought up the ques-
ton of the appointment of an eXecu-
tive committee, but Mr.. Norton stated,
while number of men had been named
by him and designated as an executive
committee, they were, in reality, act
ing only in an advisory capacity. Sew
eral of these persons, he said, had
never attended the meetings. He could
not remember who was present when
the question of securing bands was
discussed and added that he alone was
responsible for the employment Of the
musicians. The reason why the in
debtedness was not paid, he said was
because remittances expected from the
national committee were never re-
ceived.

News OF the Courts
DAUGHTER
IS BEING MISUSED
M Mother-in=Law Causes Arrest ct Young
Huspand on Charge of Kid
naping Her
Child

Owing to the circumstances attend
ing the disappearance from her home
August 10 OF Mrs. Mary l.. Gaines, 1t
is probable a new complaint will be
sworn to by her mother Mrs. Amanda
Keller, charging Willis e. Gaines, hus-
band of the missing woman, with kid
naping his wife.
Mrs. Keller caused her SON -in-law's
arrest several days ago on charge of
abandoning his wife. Later she was
told by the district attorney that this
complaint might not stand in court,
and it was suggested that a second
complaint be secured.
According to Mrs Keller's story yes
terday, Gaines brought his wife to the
home of her parents July 3, telling her
to remain there until he returned from
a fishing trip. He called at the house
two days later, took his wife out that
evening, and did not return until 3
o'clock in the morning. This was con-
tinued nightly, said Mrs. Keller, until
August 10, when her daughter disap-
peared.
Mrs. Keller expressed anxiety con-
cerning her daughters welfare, saying
she believed Gaines was compelling
her to remain in hiding for no good
purpose. Preliminary hearing On the
abandonment charge is set for next
Monday in Justice Summerheld's court.

HEIGHTS RESIDENTS
FIGHT WATER RATES
Engage Attorney to Force Hollywood
Union Company to Reduce
Exorbitant Tax for Use
of Water

Claiming that they are being robbed
by the Hollywood Union Water COM
pany by exorbitant rates, residents of
the heights adjoining the western limits
of Los Angeles met in mass meeting
last night and appointed a committee
to take charge of a legal fight against
the company.
Some time ago the residents induced
the supervisors to fix the rate which
the water company was to be allowed
to charge. This order was ignored by
the water company and when the resi-
dents attempted to force the issue the
corporation attorneys went into the
courts and secured an injunction re-
straining the county board from en-
forcing the schedule.
This order the residents of the west
side now propose to fight. The COM
mittee, comprising ID. c. Hall, Thomas
Lynn, w. T. Wolfe, ]. D. Morrison,
G.. p. Coslett and j. p. Clark has re-
tanned Andrew Park as attorney and
today an attempt will be made to Sc
cure the dissolution of the injunction.

Watch for Fish Marauders

PELLINGHAM, Wash. Aug. 10
The government revenue cutter Arcata
is now patroling the salmon banks
and armed patrols are being hurried to
the traps in expectation of more
trouble from marauders, which will
probably end in violence and bloodshed.
This is the report brought to this city
last night by D. N. Mcmillan, trap su-
perintendent of Pacific American fish
cries, the largest salmon canning COM
pany on the sound, whose traps were
raised Monday night by forty armed
fishermen from Canada on the Frazer
river. Mcmillan states that the first
reports of the story brought to this
city, so far from being exaggerated,
were understated.
