old, We're burned to death in a four
room frame cottage at 413 Madison av-
enue at an early hour yesterday morn

rocking chair, while her husband was
found lying on the floor at her feet.
They evidently were suffocated by the
smoke and overcome quickly.
w. D. Addison, a neighbor living at
400 Madison avenue, was the last per-
son to see the couple alive. He was
called to the Morgan home about 2
o'clock by Mrs. Morgan, who wanted
him to assist her in putting her hus-
band, q paralytic, to bed.
WOMAN TALKS OF TROUBLE
"When' I went over there I found
Mrs. Morgan hysterical and talking
about the family troubles" he said.
"As we were putting her husband to
bed she said, I wish I would die be-
fore morning An hour later, after ]
had returned to my house, was awak-
ened by the crackle of flames. I looked
out of the window and the entire rear
of the Morgan house was afire. I
rushed over to the front door and
kicked it in, but the flames were so
hot that I could not make my way
in to rescue the couple. could hear
Morgan groaning and / ran around to
the side window and tried tu get in
there, but was driven back by the
fire. believe that Mrs. Morgan lighted
the oil stove shortly after 1 left the
house and fell asleep while waiting
for water to heat and upset it,
The automobile fire engine company
of Hollywood responded to an alarm,
but arrived at the house after it was
a mass of smouldering ruins.
Morgan returned home from the
county hospital last Sunday. His wife
was released ffSm jail several days
ago, after having been detained there

According to Addison, the couple is
survived by son who lives in San
Francisco. An adopted son is said to
be in the Los Angeles orphan asylum.

Morgan came to his house last Tues
day and showed him q document
which, she declared, was will of her
husband, drawn in the county hos
pital and signed by two patients by

COMMITTEE MAY FAVOR
LARGE INDUSTRIAL AREA

All applications for exception from
residence districts pending before the
public welfare committee were denied
by that committee at its meeting yes
terday. If the council accepts this
recommendation 1t will probably es-
tablish the policy that no more small
parcels Of land will be excepted from
the residence district.
The committee expressed the opinion
yesterday that those persons who wish
to engage in some business that is
prohibited in the residence district
should secure locations in the indus
trial district
It is probable that the committee
may make some recommendations to
the council for an extension of the
existing industrial district and then
refuse all applications for exceptions.

ASK $39O3.5O FOR FIRE
PROTECTION IN HOLLYWOOD

Another blow is aimed at the city's
general fund, for the fire commission
will ask the council to appropriate
$39O3.5O for fire protection in Holly
wood and recently annexed territory.
The city has signed a contract with
the Union Hollywood Water Company
for the rental of 143 fire hydrants at
SIS a year and the installation Of for
ty-four hydrants. The former rental
was only $1o.5O a year.
AS the contract was not signed
when the fire department made its
estimate for the annual budget, no
appropriation was asked for this pur-
nose. and now the money must be
taken from the general expense fund
that the council guards so tealously

COURT DROPS CASE FOR
LACK OF JURISDICTION

Justice Summerfield, after hearing
testimony in the case of Matt Angel,
Frank B. Angel, Charles Martin and
A. G.. Miller, charged with malicious
mischief, yesterday decided that he, as
a township justice, had no jurisdiction
in the case.
The defendants are accused of de-
stroying a dam belonging to the Long
LEW Land and Water company, which
is located about twenty miles southeast
of Lancaster. The destruction of the
dam is said to have resulted from a dis
pute between the ranchers and the
company over water rights.

to give $3.50 bail.

siderable anxiety for six months.

COURT DECLARES CITY
MAY BUY ITS FIRE HOSE

Judge Moss of the superior court
yesterday declared the city has a right
to purchase what hose it chooses for
the fire department, by dissolVing the
temporary injunction in the case of
Emma L. and C. A. Bennett against
the municipality.
The Bennetts claimed that the coun-
Gil should have saved the city $4,000 by
buying hose from the lowest instead of
the highest bidder, but the court de-
cided that the council has the right to
consider quality in awarding con-
tracts.
A demurrer to the complaint is still
under consideration.

WARN MONTANA
0RCHARD|STS
Big Crops Assured but Wig
orOus Efforts Needed to
Get Rid of Pests.

According to the Montana state
horticulturist, M. L. Dean, who has
been inspecting orchards in the
Clarks Fork and Yellowstone val
legs, there will be an excellent crop
of apples in the Midland Empire this
season.
Mr.. Dean says that is proper pre-
caution is taken against blight, this
section will undoubtedly be one of
the greatest apple districts in the
great northwest. The inspector says
further that he found the trees of the
Midland Empire carrying better and
more fruit than those of any part
of Montana, except the Flathead
country
Speaking along other lines, Mr..
Dean said: "Orchardists should be
warned against planting Alexanders
or Transcontinental crabs, for these
varieties are apparently peculiarly
susceptible to blight. In every or
chard examined, at least 80 per cent
of the trees affected are of these
classes.
Mr.. Dean says that while he found
this disease in some orchards, they
were free from scab, scale and the
cutting moth; but that all sections
of the state have some blight. To
overcome blight, Mr.. Dean advises
orchardists to get rid of these sus-
resist the disease This, he contends,
will hasten the day when Montana
will bear the proud name of the best
section of the country.

Walla Walla Now Has II
Wells Which Will Irri-
gate Large Area.

Walla Walla, Wash, July 25.-
What artesian wells mean to the
Walla Walla valley, and what they
may in the future mean, is shown
by figures concerning them that
have been complied.
There are at present II wells in
the vicinity of this city, and these
flow an average of 1900 gallons
a minute, or combined 26,90O,O0O
gallons a day. This means $780,
90 cubic feet, which would cover
to a depth of one inch about 1000
acres. If distributed over $4,000
acres, it would mean an annual rain
fall of 20 inches, considerably more
than now falls here.
There are in prospect many more
wells in the valley, and the Maple
Cooperative company has been
formed with the express purpose of
watering more ground with artesian
wells. While not unique in this city
and valley, arstesian irrigation prom

DOES ALICE SMOKE
Gigs?
Pittsburg Women's Clubs in
Session WAKES Warm
Over Rumor.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 25.-The re-
port that Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
formerly Miss Alice Roosevelt, is in
the habit of smoking cigarettes was
brought up at Friday afternoon
meeting of the Pittsburg Playground
Association, which was attended by
the leading club women of Pitts
burg, and some rather pointed re-
marks were passed in favor of and
against Alice.
Among the clubs represented were
the Women's Club of Pittsburg, the
Daughters of the Revolution, Daugh-
ters of Pioneers, and the Women's
Southern Society.
Mrs. K H. Armstrong provoked a
stir by announcing she looked on a
woman who smokes as on a woman
who bleaches her hair-with sus-
picion.
THE higher the position a woman
holds, the more womanly she should
be, and | am surprised at Mrs.
Longworth If this report is true"
said Mrs. Minnie o. Roberts, who was
applauded.

Can't Be EQualed.

This season has again demon

terville soil to retain moisture AMI
to produce a crop without rainfall
during the crop growing season.

with a quarter of an inch rainfall
since the first of April. This takes

had the moisture which ran away
last spring been stored up we would
have had good crop with a quarter
inch rainfall. Is there another place
on the earth that can do this? This
is almost a sure crop country. With

farming methods it Is sure.-Doug-

It is true the crop will be light, but
that there is any crop at all is the
wonder.
There are fields which will go
from rs to 80 bushels and others
adjoining which will go five bushels.
The difference is undoubtedly in the
handling of the soil to conserve the
