BOY RUNS IN FRONT OF
AUTO; IS KNOCKED DOWN
Youth Hurries to Go to Picture Show
and Is lnjured-Autoists
Did Not Stop

In his anxiety to attend a moving
picture show, Roy Irby, 10 years old.
living at 2l9 South Hill street, is said
to have run directly in front of a
speeding automobile at Second and
Spring streets last night.
The boy was knocked down and rem
dered unconscious, and the occupants
OF the auto never stopped to see what
injuries had been inflicted, but sped
south on Spring street at an increased
rate of speed.
At the receiving hospital it was
found young Irby had not been seri-
ously injured, but was bruised severely
on the right side where he was struck
by the auto. Investigation failed to
reveal any internal injuries, and he
was able to go to his home, his chief
regret being that he was cheated out
of his visit to the moving picture show.
Investigation by the police failed to
obtain the name or number of the
auto, although witnesses stated it was
not going at a high rate of speed.
Although there is an ordinance reuuir-
ing all autoists to report accidents, this
was not done up to a late hour last
night.

returned from a two years cruise in the
Shark" during which time he visited many
almost unvisited islands in the South Seas
He has written a wonderfully vivid and in
terestlng account of this cruise, which will
appear during the coming year in the Pacific
Monthly, published at Portland, Ore. His
first story appears in the December 1909 is

one treats Of some incident OF his cruise.

COMMITS SUICIDE BY
CUTTING His THROAT
OFFICER OF w. F. OF m. DE-
SPONDENT OVER HEALTH
p. n. Duffy Suffers Business Reverses
and Unable to Stand II Seeks
Death-One Cent Found
on His Body

Despondent because of i'll health and
business reVerses, p. H. Duffy an Of
ficer of the Western Federation of
Miners, who had been in Los Angeles
for several weeks committed suicide
yesterday in his room at 3101a North
Main street by cutting his throat with
a pocket knife.
Yesterday morning his landlady
Mrs. John Partley, went to Duffy's
room to make up the bed and was
told by Duffy to go away and leave
him alone, as he was tired and sick
and wished to remain in his room dur
ing the day.
AT o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Partley again went to Duffy's room,
and, obtaining no response to her re-
peated knocks, entered the room and
found Duffy on the floor his juguar
vein severed. Investigation indicated
he had been dead for several hours.
Duffy was apparently about 45 years
old. and papers found in his pocket
stated he was an officer of the West
ern Federation of Miners. Among the
papers was a list of miners of Bisbee,
Ariz., who had gone on strike and
were on the unfair list in the labor
unions.
A card gave the address of Duffy as
Creede, Colo, and a letter showed he
had applied to a fraternal order of
Amethyst Colo, for financial assist
ance, but was told that while no
money could be loaned, the lodge
would do everything possible to aid
him i'm a fraternal manner.
Duffy is said to have a brother,
James. who lives at Rawhide.
When searched it was found there
was only 1 cent in his clothing. The
body was sent to the undertaking par
lors of Bresee Brothers and will be
held pending word from relatives.

This Romance" new to Los An

work of Mr.. and Mrs. Shapleigh, either
singly or combined, is attracting the
serious attention of other composers
and musicians both I'm their native
America and in England where they
have resided several years. The COM

which comprise his text a melodious
setting of distinct merit and charm,
and one that fits like a glove both the
sentiment and verse form. transform

FUNDS ARE STILL NEEDED
TO WIPE OUT BIG DEFICIT

Angelenos are responding nobly to
the appeal of the Good Government or
ganization for funds with which to
defray the expenses incurred during the
campaign which resulted in such a
glorious victory for civic decency. but.
according to statements made yester-
day, there is still deficit of something
like $4,000 to be met. About $500 came
in through the mails yesterday. If this
is kept up for a few days the deficit
will be wiped out quickly.
1t has develved upon one or two men
in the Good Government movement to
make good the deficit. As this is con-
sidered great burden to the few,
whereas the ma&y will be benefited, Of
ficials of the organization ask that all
who can contribute send checks to the
new headquarters, 31S Los Angeles
Trust building, in care of Lucian j.
Clarke. secretary.

Campaign Against Tuberculosis to Be
Aided by Exploitation of Cure
and Prevention of Disease

The campaign against tuberculosis
being waged throughout the United
States has received a new impetus
The National Association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis has received
an offer from the Associated Billpost-
ers of the United States to the effect
that all vacant space ON the boards of
associated billposters not contracted
for during the coming year has been
placed at the disposal of the white
plague crusaders. Its advertising val
ue is estimated close to $2,000,000, ana
will be used by the crusaders in an
effort to educate the great mass of
people in the prevention and the cure
of tuberculosis.
The Los Angeles Billposters' organi-
zation has received a supply of paper
and within a few weeks flaming post
ers will proclaim to the city that the
war against the white plague is on in
earnest.

REFUSE TO ACCEPT
NUM- RESIGNATION
ELIZABETH LAKE JUSTICE RE-
QUESTS RELEASE
Declares to Board of Supervisors
Emoluments of Office Are Not
Commensurate with the
Honors Conferred

| Roosevelt, bounded by Elizabeth
lake and the aqueduct, but nothing O
! which mention could be made. was or
the point of being denuded of its Sol
| onion yesterday, John Num- justice
of Elizabeth Lake township, filing hi,
visors. 1t was turned down, and Num-
who says there is too much honol
and too little money in the office, must
continue to punish his enemies and
protect his friends.
1t is because of the latter obligation
lie wished to be relieved, according to
the letter containing his resignation,
addressed to Supervisor Prcham and
accompanied by an invitation to the
supervisor to make a duck hunting
trip to the lake.
NUM- decision was reached several
days ago. when, attired only in u
flannel nightshirt, the hair bristling on
his judicial shanks, he was interrupted
while lighting the morning fire by a
friend who said other friends had
been arrested for shooting ducks be-
fore sunrise and were on their way to
he fined or given an alternative of a
Jail sentence. He was compelled to
duties he complained and did not
want to be placed in similar pre-
GiCament a second time.
Supervisor Pridham is an early
riser, and realizing this fact, NUM-
insisted his resignation be accepted
before Pridham's visit. Otherwise the
justice might be called on to act in the
double role of host and judge; but, he
explained, where there is no judge
there is no danger.
Num- appeal for relief is as follows;
Text of Resignation
81 hereby resign as justice of the
peace of Elizabeth Lake and / beg
you to act on my resignation by all
means before you come u0 here duck
hunting, and l will tell you why.
There was a nice lot of hunters
here the other day, just like you.
Messrs. McCabe, Gilbreath and Scher-
er Now what happens? Early in the
morning. just as | was starting the
fire, there comes one of my friends in
a great hurry and says: Judge, quick,
get out of sight. They have arrested
three of my comrades for having shot
ducks half an hour before sunrise ana
you are to condemn them to a fine of
$50 or fifty days in jail if they see you!
"Now, you see, such happenings
come in conflict with a JUDGES duty
and what had happened afterWard still
more; so that by no means, | would
want to be in the same fix again.
And besides, it is too much honor
for me in the justiceship of Elizabeth
Lake and not enough money.
1.-The lake is full of ducks since the
rains started and a good shot gets the
limit now in less than no time, so you
viii have lots of fun in coming to hunt
at the lake now.
But, for Gods sake. accept my
resignation first. I know you get up
early and where there is no judge
there is no danger"
1t was on Supervisor Pridhams mo-
ton that the appeal was denied, but
he has abandoned his intention to go
duck hunting in Elizabeth lake.

S. A. Gates returned last week
from a trip to Luther, Wyoming,
the center of what is known as the
Golden Prairie District. He brought
back with him samples Of alfalfa
which are certainly very fire. The
sample of alfalfa was pulled two
months and twelve days after plant
ing, and the top measured % inches
and the roots 80 inches. The sam
pies of smooth winter wheat were
taken from field which ran 25
bushels to the acre, and a sample
of Duran, a long bearded wheat
showed 20 to SO grains to the head.
He also had samples of potatoes
from field of Is acres which went
$50 bushels to the acre, and the
owner had been offered rs cents per
bushel for his crop. Mr.. Gates was
accompanied to Luther by Ernest
Goodman, of north of town, and
each OF them bought a quarter sec

Engineer Dies a Hero.

Mrs. ]. P. Scott and daughter
Mabel, of Garden Grove, were in
Leon last Thursday, being on their
way to Des Moines, where they we're
called by a message telling of the
death of Mrs. Scott's brother, Thos.
]. Howard, an engineer on the Great
Western who was killed at his post
in railroad collision at Ajax, a
small station near St. Joe, Missouri,
at O'Clock Thursday morning.
On account of the failure of an op-
orator to deliver a train order the
passenger train which engineer
Howard was pulling collided head
on with a freight train. Seeing
that a collision could not be averted
engineer Howard heroically stood at
his post, applying the air brakes in
an effort to lessen the shock, and
probably saved the lives of scores of
the passengers on his train. His
own fireman and the crew of the en-
gine on the freight train leaped to
safety, but he stood like a hero at
his post and his blackened corpse
was removed from the debris shortly
after the wreck.
