Manners Have Changed.

Not so many years ago women
Quilted the table the moment the DIN
ner was ended, leaving the men folk
to drink their black coffee, smoke
their cigars, sip their brandy ana re-
gale each other with stale anec-
dotes. To-day? Most OF the women
remain to join In the smoking ana
slipping. And some tell anecdotes. 10
you remember Cowper's lament? Here
1t Is:
pernicious weed Whose scent the.

Unfriendly to society's chief joys,
Thy worst effect Is banishing for
hours
The sex whose presence civilizes
ours.
But how would the old man Zee!
IL he were to see that the fair are
not annoyed by the scent, and thar
they refuse to be banished from th'
ciyilizing process9

TRUSTEES CALL OFF
ANNEXATION MATTER
INJUNCTION SUIT DOES NOT
COME TO TRIAL
Belmont Heights Officials Discover an
Error In Boundaries That Makes
Election possible-Judge
Dismisses Case
[special to The Herald ]

LONG BEACH, Oct. 1S.-Owing to a
mistake made by the surveyor in de-
scribing the boundaries of the strip
of land proposed to be added to the
city of Belmont Heights in the annex
alton election called for tomorrow, the
election will not take place, at least
for the present. The error was dis
covered today before the hearing of
an injunction suit brought by Henry
league to prevent the election was be-
gun, and Immediately on its discovery
the board of trustees of Belmont
Heights passed a resolution calling off
the election, but indicating a new call
would be issued later. The adoption
of the resolution disposed of the ne
cessity for a hearing on the injunction
matter and the case was dismissed by
Judge Bordwell of the superior court.
Considerable surprise was occasioned
by the action of the Belmont Heights
trustees this morning, when they met
and voted to abandon all proceedings
looking toward the election set for
tomorrow on the question of anneXing
shoestring strip. The trustees said
afterward they had discovered that in
the city engineers description he had
skipped a section about 1900 feet long.
Attorneys Denio and Hart and City
Attorney knight of Belmont Heights
stipulated on calling off the election,
and Judge Bordwen, before whom a
suit to enjoin the election was set for
hearing this morning, issued the or
der, accordingly.

PLEADS SELF-DEFENSE
FOR KILLING OF NEGRO
William F. Lummer Given Preliminary
Examination for Shooting
John Perry

PASADENA, Oct 18.-"L. Blood" is
the inscription stamped into the steel
blade of a sickel which John Berry, a
negro, was carrying when he was shot
and killed near El Monte two weeks
ago by William F. hummer.
hummer, who admits the shooting
but pleads self defense, was before
Judge Klamroth today for preliminary
examination and was represented by
II. H. Roser Deputy District Attorney
Hammond prosecuting the case. In
the court rom were II. A. Unruh, eX-
ecutor of the Baldwin estate, and 9TH
ers who are interested in its execu-
tion. The case involves the title to
land over which Perry and the Lum-
mers, father and son, had quarreled.
Karl Frederick hummer, the elder,
testified that Perry advanced on him
with the cornknife upraised to strike
when the boy shot the fatal bullet
from .38 Smith & Wesson. His tes-
timony was contradicted by that of
Jose Lopez one of several Mexican
eyewitnesses, who declared that John
Perry did no more than to shake the
sickle in a conversational manner be-
fore the face of the elder hummer.
The hearing was not concluded.

BODY DISCOVERED IS
THAT OF WHITE MAN
fspecial to The Herald.l ]

Especial TO The Herald.1
REDONDO BEACH, Oct. 1S.-It was
positively determined today that the
dead body found yesterday in the sand
hills back of Hyperion was that OF
a white man instead of a negro, as at
first supposed. Although the body was
greatly decomposed from having lain
undiscovered for at least ten days, a
thorough examination by Undertaken
Cate today disclosed perfectly white
skin beneath the clothing.
Mystery surrounds the death of the
man. A close search today failed TO
reveal any marks of identification or
any definite means by which the man
came to his death. In addition to
loaded revolver, valuable gold watch
and other jewelry found on the body,
SAG in gold and silver was in the
pockets.
None of the chambers in the revol-
yer was empty. 1t is reported that
persons visiting the spot where the
body was discovered picked up hypo-
dermic syringe and needle, but this
could not be verified today.
The body was lying in a reclining
position, as If the man had simply
fallen off TO sleep. 1t was well dressed,
including an overcoat and cap. I'm
dertaker Cate was in conference with
the coroner this afternoon arranging
for the disposal of the body.

TO RAISE ASSESSED
PROPERTY VALUATION
TAX RATE WOULD BE LOWERED
BY MOVE
Members of City Council Start Aglta-
ton They Say Would Give De-
velopment of City Great
Impetus
1sneclnl to The Herald. ]

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 1S.-There is
considerable feeling here in favor OF
increasing the assessed valuation OF
property and thereby reducing the tax
rate. The movement originates with
members of the city council, but has
not yet attained much momentum
among property holders in general.
However it is considered probable that
action in this direction will be taken
before the present council goes out OF
office.
The assessed valuation of the prop
erty in Santa Monica, according to the
books of the city tax collector Is $l,-
347, 1855. The present tax rate is Slb5'
which in many cities would be consld-
cred high.
Those favoring an increased Valua-
ton. a figure to correspond more nearly
with the marketable value of property,
declare that the valuation should be at
least $10,O00,000 This would reduce the
tax rate materially. The city is grow
ing in size steadily and the adherents
of the high valuation low tax policy

SUFFOCATES PRISONERS

Driven Desperate by Cravings
for Drug

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 18.-In a
series of desperate attempts to
avenge his capture by setting fire to
his bedding and clothing, Jack Horns
by, serving sixty days in the county
iail for yagrancy, nearly succeeded
not only in taking his own life but in
suffocating a score of other prisoners.
His last attempt was made this even
ing, and he now occupies a cell where
it is impossible to set fire to anything.
Hornsby is a dope fiend, and his
craving for the drug drove him tenn
porarily out of his head. and after he
was almost exhausted from screaming
he set fire to his bed clothing, the
smoke almost suffocating other pris-
oners before it was realized that their
stifed screams were not that of the
insane man.
