QUOTES PORTER AT
TRIAL FOR ARSON
Episcopal Clergyman Testifies
That Defendant Saunders
Said, 81 Hated to Do 1t"

All the testimony in the case of
Thomas Elliott Saunders, accused of
setting fire to st. Luke's hospital the
morning of November IS, was intro
duced in Judge Cabaniss' court yester-
day. It is the theory of the prosecu-
tion that Saunders fired the place be-
cause he was discharged from the posi-
tion of porter.
DIR. A. B. Shields, minister of the
Episcopal church, testified that he rode
down town Valencia street car
about 4:25 the morning of November
IS, and that Saunders came up to him
and said, II hated to do it, but you will
see it in the papers in the morning"
This was shortly after the fire was
discovered and extinguished.
When arrested Saunders stated that
he was at the ferry at 3:45. the time of
the fire, but in contradiction of this
the car conductor testified that Saun-
ders was on the car that reached the
ferry at 1925. Representatives of two
morning newspapers stated that the
night of November II Saunders offered
to tell a story of the robbing of the
dead at St. Luke's hospital. The papers
refused to publish any such story.
No evidence was called for the de-
fense. The argument to the jury will
be made today by Assistant District
Attorney Brennan for the people ana
by Attorney Atwood for the defense.

SELLS HERSELF, But
FAILS TO COLLECT
Woman Who Married on Prom
ise of $4,000 Loses Suit to
Compel Payment

Marriage based on a monetary con-
sideration does not appeal to Judge
Seawell. In giving judgment yesterday
for the defendant in the case in which
Marie Lacroix sued her husband, Aug
ust Lacroix, a nurseryman, for $4,000
which, she swore, he had promised to
give her if she would marry him his
honor delivered himself of some scath-
ing remarks
There was no romance about this
marriage" said the judge There is
nothing in the testimony to show that
there was anything but monetary con-
siderations involved. It was purely a
tried TO cajole Lacroix. to give her the
money the day they got the marriage
license. Failing in that, she took a
chance and married him, believing she
would get the money later
The LacroiX couple We're married De-
cember 10, 1907. Laeroix in his testi-
mony admitted that he had promised
10 pay his wife $4,000, but maintained
that there was condition attached
that she should be a good wife to him
and should treat him kindly. This she
failed to do. he stated. There is suit
pending in which Lacroix is seeking
divorce. He says that he married the
woman only after she had constantly
importuned him to do so
In giving judgment for Lacroix
Judge Seawell stated that no time
limit was fixed within which the $4,000
was to be paid. Even if the woman
was entitled to the sum for which, ac-
cording to her own story, she sold her
self, there was nothing TO show that
LacroiX would not yet pay it.

Take Off the Fat
Where II Shows

Most women suffer much humiliation
because of great quantities OF fat, so
located that. no matter how they dress,
every body sees that they are abnormal.
This is the day of the slender hgures
and fat women are simply not toler-
ated either in business or social affairs.
Women may not know it. but men when
they see a fat woman pass them on the
street ma Ike all manner of sympathetic
remarks about her. They 10 not mean
to be unkind nor to seem unmanly, but
IL is natural for man to dislike fat
on a woman. Where fat shows the
most there is where IL must be removed
and as quickly as possible. The hot
weather dresses seem to be made tor
the fat woman'S misery and the slender
womans delight. They expose all tho
charms of woman and her ugllnesS as
well. Exercise and diet will not re-
move fat This has been proved. The
famous MarmOla prescription which has
met with such phenomenal success and
has so many of our society women as
it's sponsors. is now being sold in tablet
for this style Of treatment. These little
tablets go into your system just like
food. They stop the stomach and di-
gestive apparatus from producing fat
and reduce the fat upon the body at the
rate of from IL to 15 ounces a day.
They are harmless and can be carried in
your purse and taken even after you
have indulged in a hearty meal away
from home. They are sold at all drug
stores at 75 cents a case. or if you

The Pioneer company has also re-
ceived the Chalmers so inside drive
coupe. 1t is a fully inclosed car. ex-
ceedingly well finished The coupe

The sojourn at Corinto proved other
