NO JOB; DESPONDENT
CLERK SEEKS DEATH
Unable to Find Employment, Fails
Also in Attempt to Kill
Himself

After lying for sixteen hours with
deep cash on each side of his throat
and on each arm, which he inflicted
in an attempt to commit suicide, E. c.
Layson, 81 years old, was found yes
terday afternoon in his room at 6041z
South Hope street slowly dying from
loss of blood
Layson was discovered by the pro-
prietor of the rooming house, with his
head in a pool of blood. He was on the
bed unconscious. Beside him was pen
knife covered with blood with which
it is supposed he inflicted the cuts.
Layson had been in the habit OF
calling for his mail early in the morn
ing. When he failed to appear yester-
day, the proprietor became suspicious
and made an investigation.
The man entered his room Thursday
night about 12 o'clock. He had been
drinking heavily of late and appeared
to be despondent over his failure to
secure employment. 1t is thought that
this is the cause for his attempt to
take his life.
He was taken to the receiving hos
pital where the injuries We're attended.
To the police Layson said that he
was formerly a hotel man in Ken
lucky and had been in Los Angeles
only short time. He was later en-
ployed at Bullock's department store
as clerk.

a severe 1aceration of the forehead and

The doctor was in it at the time and
was accompanied by Mrs. Haynes and
two friends with whom he was return

WOULD-BE GOVERNORS
TO EAT AND SPEECH|FY
Five Candidates Are Expected to
Air Their Views Before
College Clubs

An unusually interesting and novel
event has been planned by the Fedora
ton of College clubs of Southern Cali
fornia, which announced yesterday
that it has arranged for big banquet
to be held at Hamburger's cafe May IL,
at which all of the various cand dates
for governor in California are to be
present and make 30-minute speeches.
Phil A. Stanton, regular" Republican
candidate for governor will sit face to
face with Secretary of State Curry, his
Republican rival for the same honor,
where they can look lovingly into each
others eyes and form mutual opinions
of each others political chances and
| qualifications If the present plans
carry, and there seems to be every as
surance the various candidates will be
present it will be arranged for Alden
Anderson, state bank examiner, who
also is a Republican candidate for gov
Curry, where he, too, can form con-
| clusions.
Neither is Nat Ellery to be sighted.
He, likewise, is to sit conveniently

publican nomination, and his friends

are bitterly opposing one another in
the campaign for the Republican NOM
nation
Last, but not least. Theodore A.
Bell, Democratic candidate for COVER
nor is to have a seat at the banquet
board, seated at a safe distance from
the Republican phalanX, where he will
be expected to respond to the various
toasts and incidentally to reply to the
four 30-minute speeches to be made by
Stanton, Curry, Elilery and Anderson.
Similar banquets have been given by
the Federation of College Clubs in past
years, but this is the first time, it is
said that such a remarkable array of
gubernatorial timber has ever been ar
ranged for one gathering. What the
effect will be can only be surmised, but
it is expected there will be some in
teresting speeches. The situation in
which the various rivals will find them
selves should no doubt afford much
comment, If not genuine amusement.

OLD GENERAL EXPENSE
FUND WALL0PED AGAIN
$4,000 Taken for Election Fund
and $4,000 for Advertising

The already depleted general expense
fund was handed a couple more jolts
yesterday when the finance committee
transferred $4,000 to the election fund
and $4,000 to the advertising fund from
the general expense fund. The simple
little fact that there isn't that much
money in the general expense fund to
transfer didn't figure in the case a
minute.
The money will get there in a few
weeks when at the end of the fiscal
year all surplus money from the vari-
Gus funds is turned back into the gen.
eral fund.
j. II. Fountain, chief deputy city
auditor went to the courthouse yes
terday and made the supervisors come
through with the $4,000 road fund for
East Hollywood that has been prom
ised for some time but that didn't
materialize until someone went after it..

WANTED HIS NAME IN PAPER

Curious Question Raised in "a Cana
dian Court of Law.
A case of interest to newspaper men
came up before Chief Justice Meredith
last month when ]. B. Mackenzie, a
Toronto lawyer, entered an action
against the Toronto World and George
NJ Lee, its Osgood hall reporter, to
obtain an injunction against the de
PENDANTS, restraining them from omit.
ting his name from reports of cases
in which he may be engaged as coun.
sci or solicitor.
Chief Justice Meredith took the
stand that the World published the
report for the information and interest
of it's readers; that this report must
necessarily be brief, but that so long
as it was in no particular incorrect and
contained no reflection in the nature
of libel or improper statement of fact,
the World had right to publish what
it pleased
In the present case. Printer and
Publisher states, the plaintiff did not
claim that any incorrect statement had
been made or anything in the nature
of libel published, but merely that
the report was not full enough to slut
him in that his name and connection
with the case had been omitted from it.
It really amounted to complaint that
the World had not given him the ben
eft of advertising in connection with
the case, and this, his lordship claim
ed. Mr.. Mackenzie could not compel
the World to do. He suggested, hui
morously. that contract at SO much
line be made to cover the situa,
ton.
Mr.. Mackenzie claimed, however,
that the court had inherent right to
deal with the matter, and that every
body should be placed upon the same
footing or the reports excluded. He
claimed that such an omission was an
injury to his calling, in that solicitors
from outside points would thus be hin
dered from sending him. retaLners. His

A Calamity.

A noted judge was examining a
candidate for admission to the bar.
All the questions had been satisfactor-
lily answered and the lawyer-to-be had
passed so brilliantly that the judge
decided to put simple question to
terminate the ordeal. Gazing benign
ly at the young man, he asked:
What is the liability of com
mon carrier?
Although lawyers the world over
and from time immemorial have
wrestled with this problem, though
millions of words have been taken into
the record OF various cases In which
this unanswerable question was in
volved, the Hedging calmly eyed the
Judge and at last solemnly replied:
Your honor, / must beg you to
withdraw that question. | did know
the answer, but unfortunately / have
forgotten
For a minute the judge eyed the
young man, then turning to the law
yers who were grouped around him,
remarked:
Gentlemen, th:R is SGD case, in
fact. a calamity The only living
man who ever knew the liability of a
common carrier has forgotten"

the coveted diploma. These non-grad-
