Prominent and Wealthy.
Bouvier was one of the most
prominent and wealthy residents
of this, city, and was known
throughout the surrounding vine
yard country. He arose as usual
this morning but while prepar-
ing to go to his place of business
the mania to kill cane upon him.
Drawing a revolver from his
pocket, he shot his wife through
the heart. When his aged moth
er, attracted by the sound of the
shot, rushed to the room, she was
met by a fusillade of bullets, and
fell dying beside the body of her
daughter-in-law.
Running to his apartments, the
maniac seized a razor that lay on
IA dressing table and rushed to
the part of the house occupied
by his two little daughters and
his son.
Cuts Child's Head OF.
Grasping the youngest child by
the hair, he drew the razor across
her throat, almost severing her
head from her body. Frantic
with terror, the other children
fed from the room followed by
Bouvier. his face spattered and
the razor dripping with the blood
Of the little girl.
Two Other Throats Cut.
Cornering the children in an
other part of the house, the crazej
father cut their throats and left
them dying on the floor. Clasp.
ing the CORY razor in one hand
and his revolver in the other, he
rushed from the house and ran
to his office.
In the counting room stood his
eldest daughter and the chief
clerk. When he leveled the re-
volver at the defenseless girl, the
clerk sprung toward him, and re-
ceived a bullet through his chest.
Blows Out His Brains.
Leaning over the PROSTATE bod y
of the man, Bouvier shot his
daughter twice through the head,
killing her instantly. He then
placed the gun against his right
temple and blew out his brains
The bodies of the seven victims
and that of the murderer were
taken in charge by the authorities
and removed to the Marseilles
morgue.

CLUB WORK

NO all alike California proclaims
herself natures darling; the ma
tive son Loyalty loves and loudly
praises his golden state. To us, who
come from somewhere back east" the
mere mention of California has, from
earliest years, brought a suggestion of
romance and pictuleSqueneSS. 1t con-
jured to our minds the golden or
anSeS, the clustering grapes, the olive
orchards, the riot of flowers, as we'll
as the decayed but historic missions
with attendant visions oI the barefoot,
rough-clad FrancisC ans, devoted to the
souls salvation of their neophytes;
likewise tleeting glimpses of those
glorious, idle days before the forties
and the coming of the crowds of
Americans, where the dance, the bull
fight, the horseback riding, made gor
geous by the red sash, velvet breeches
and golden spur, and the constant in
terchange of hospitality, were the
whole life of the dreamy, indolent Cal
ifornias.
We felt that we wished to know
more about the early history and leg
ends of this fascinating land, and con-
sequently about a year ago the Wom
ans club of Redondo was organized
for that purpose.
Boyce's History of California has
been the main text book used, with
much supplementary reading. The pa
pers upon various subjects presented
by members have been worthy of the
highest commendation. The brief
course planned has been completed
and next month the club takes up the
well known Bay View reading course.
The club has a carefully restricted
membership attempting to include
only such as are really interested in
study and mental development Meet
ings are held twice a month, devoted
entirely to study, including no social
phase. The annual social affair for
the club is the first meeting in May,
beginning the constitutional club year,
Last year the club enjoyed an elabo-
rate banquet at 1.-THE Dolphin" en-
livened by witty toasts and speeches.
Several meetings have been devoted
to civic improvement discussion.
A collection of highly rated books
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-03

upon California has been given to the
town library.
Before TINS organization came into
existence many women of Redondo
felt the need of a club offering sys-
tematic study adapted to women al
reduy claimed by various interests and
social duties.
A well known factor in the social
life of Reuondo is the "W ednesuay
Club" organized four years ago, and
purely social. The membership has
Deen limited to ten and has changed
but little during the four years.
In addition to being prominent in
the general affairs Of the town, the
members of this club have a uniform
oLlnlon that nIe should include good
time and have epIcurean taste and
par-eXcellent skill in planning such
times. The winter sees series of
luncheons, disting uished by elaborate
de- Loration and exquisite cuisine, in
tloduced and interspersed at inter-
walls by evening parties, including the
gentlemen. The summer inaugurates
picnics and barbecues.
The members of 1.-The Wednesday"
are conspicuous in the town as de-
hghtful hOstesses, and their social af-
fairs are characterized by being
uniquely artistic.
The church organizations in our
town play no mean part in encourag-
ing wholesome social life. The wom-
ems auXiliaries extend hospitality to
all ladies at their afternoon teas,
which are held in the homes of the
various members. These teas are
praiseworthy for their delightful in
formllity and the opportunity they Of
fer new resident to become acquaint-
ed with the ladies of the church, which
she chooses as her place of worship.
Some of the Sunday school classes
are organized and have their occa-
sional social affairs, binding these
young people to each other and to the
church, and presenting an attractive
view of the religious life.

President of Womans club.

LONGEST TELEGRAPH CIRCUIT

Few persons are aware that Teheran,
the capital of Persia, is one terminal
of the longest telegraphic circuit in
the world. London is the other ter
minal, and the distance between these
two cities by wire is 1000 miles. The
operator at one end commune ates d.
lecuy with the man at the other, be-
cause an automatic repeating apparatus
TAKES the place OF an operator at each
OF the ten relay stations along the cir
cult.
Lowestoft, in Norfolk, is the first re-
peating station from London. There
the wires enter the North sea and
run beneath the water Tor a distance
IF 200 miles, emerging at Emden, Han
over, where the second automatic re-
peater catches the message. Berlin,
Warsaw, Rouno, Odessa, KertCh, Suk-
hum, Kaleh, Tifis and Taurus then
transmit it in turn until the operator
at Teheran receives the ''wire.'
The line is extended from the Per-
sian capital as far as India, but the
circuit between London and Teheran
is considerably longer. - Harper's

munity that corporations are not al!
souliess; but brought right down to the
actual status OF affairs, that the ma

put forward by the efforts Of moneyed
interests-and considering the pei sonnel
of the two boards of directors, not a
citizen of Redondo Beach has cause for
complaint, but all should also put their
shoulders to the wheel and push. And
this is why Redondo Beach is a city of

The city has been laid off in ten dis
triCts and a number assigned to each
district. When an alarm is telephoned

map provided for the telephone office.
The system is controlled with a ten

A team has been provided and is

fire hall at night. A chemical and hose
wagon which was built by a local firm
in Los Angeles and is very complete

much larger cities. 1t is equipped with
a full line of tools, such as door OPEN

two 30-gallon tanks, 200 feet of hose
and reel a set of drop harness with
hangers, etc, make the equipment very
complete.
The companies alternate in holding
drills to keep the men in practice. The
horses have been broken to the use of
the harness and good time is made in
getting the wagon out. Ten standard
four-inch fire hydrants with two 2b-

is the only item which we are in serious
need of, and it is expected that the
business district will be fully equipped
this season.
The department is entirely volunteer

paid to take care of the wagon and

In the opinion Of Mr.. Townsend, Of
Michigan, the insurgents were seeking
cheap notoriety at home, "but," he
inquired, chow are they going to re-
concile their responsibility with their
votes Of today?"
The debate was brought to close
by Mr.. Fitzgerald, who asserted that
there had not been legitimate critic
ism Of the rules.
"Why did you not submit your re-
solution to the Democratic caucus?'
interrupted Mr.. Pujo, Of Louisiana.
"Because," retorted Mr.. Fitzger-
aid, II could get only three minutes
Of Democratic caucus to state my
position on the rules
Addressing the Democrats, Mr. Fitz-
gerald said the Republicans did not
welcome the changes he proposed
"They take them in preference to
something else.'' He charged that
the Democrats had suggested nothing
but delay. II suggested some sub
stantial reform,'' he said. ''You had
the opportunity to formulate your
ideas as to what changes were to be
