MACHINE MAKES DATES;
ALSO HELPS KEEP THEM
Pay 5 Cents, Leave Message,
and 0venshire Cabinet
Will Do the Rest

Here's the latest! A machine that
them! 1t is said TO be the newest and
best thing out and is known as the
Ovenshire cabinet. 1t is now on ex-
hibition at pa South Broadway. Each
date you make costs you five cents
and the method is simplicity itself.
You leave your message. The person
it is intended for reads it and leaves
an answer naming a meeting place.
A slot on either side of the cabinet,
which is eight feet high, two feet wide
and four feet long, permits the inser-
tion of a nickel, and by pressing a
lever on the right side of a metal box
sheet of white paper is disclosed on
which the message may be written.
Pressing a second lever on the left
side of the box brings the message
into view in a runway holding spaces
for ten others, each alternated by an
advertisement printed on a space of
the white paper of the same size as
allotted to the message.
When all of the ten spaces are
filed with messages, an attendant re-
moves the strip of paper on which they
are written, and it is placed in full
view of everyone upon revolving cyl
inder labeled beneath in large letters,
TODAY.
There the strip containing the mes
sages is permitted to remain twenty
four hours, when it is removed to an
other revolving cylinder, labeled Tues
day, Wednesday or whatever day the
message was written and placed in the
cabinet, and permitted to remain a
week for inspection by the person for
whom it is intended.
1t is the intention of the owners to
place the cabinets in hotels, theaters
and depots, throughout the entire Unit
ed States.
The idea of building such a cabinet
was originated by Mr.. OVenshire, af-
ter whom the company is named, as
result of his being compelled once to
spend much valuable time in one of
the local depots waiting for the arrival
of his wife, who had previously ad-
vised him of her departure for Los
Angeles, but of the time of whose ar
rival he was in doubt
Had there been a convenient place
to have left a message for her, he
could have then directed her where to
go upon her arrival, and gone as usual
about his everyday business without
loss of time.

doom Of BOXING
ORDINANCE SEALED
Legislation Committee of City
Council Urges Ordinance to,
Prevent Sparring Bouts

The beginning of the end of the
fight game in Los Angeles was marked
last night when Councilmen Betkouski
and Andrews, a quorum of the coun-
cilmanic legislation committee, decided
to recommend at the next meeting of
the city council that the city attorney
be instructed to draft an ordinance
that will prohibit all boxing and
sparring exhibitions in the city of Los
Angeles to which an admission fee is
charged. Councilman Gregory was
the absent member of the committee.
II am not very strong for such an
ordinance remarked Betkouski last
night "but l feel there are sufficient
votes in the present council to pass it,"
Councilman Andrews expressed him
self as being unalterably opposed to
sparring or boxing contests to which
an admission fee is charged.
Il am not so much opposed" said
Andrews, "to a good, clean sparring
exhibition, such as might be held in
a we'll regulated amateur club, but l
am opposed to admission being charged
to witness brutality.
Il move that we instruct the city
attorney to draw modern ordinance
which will prohibit boxing or sparring
exhibitions to which an admission fee
is charged"
Two recommendations from the civic
righteousness committee of the
Church Federation of Los Angeles
stirred the committee to action. The
first suggested that the legal fee for
boxing exhibitions be made so high
and the rules and regulations govern
ing boxing matches be made so strin-
gent that it would tend to discourage
-, Of 11T,oa ia 1izod hrt1 oil
ity."
No action having been taken by the
council on the first communication of
the Church federation, a second fol-
lowed, suggesting therein that District
Attorney Fredericks would be able to
prevent prize fights as well as sparring
exhibitions in Los Angeles if the coun
Gil would repeal the existing ordinance,
which permits sparring exhibitions,
with certain restrictions. Under the
present city ordinance no sparring eX-
hibition shall go over ten rounds, and
at it's close no decision shall be rem
dered 1t is not permissible to award
a prize to the winner
Some weeks ago District Attorney
Fredericks was quoted as saying: III
the city will repeal the ordinance per-
hitting sparring exhibitions, / will
stop fights in Los Angeles. Section
412 of the penal code of the state of
California prohibits all prize fights and
sparring exhibitions as well, but con-
tains a proviso permitting city coun-
ellis to pass ordinances permitting spar
ring exhibitions. If this is repealed
boxing exhibitions will come to an
end in Los Angeles"
At next Tuesdays meeting City At
torney Hewitt will be formally in
structed to draft an ordinance prohibit
ing boxing or sparring exhibitions, II
the council accepts the recommenda-
tion of the legislation committee. The
ordinance so ordered will be submitted
to the same committee for an investi-
cation and report as to its passage The
next meeting of the council following
the report will perhaps mean the death
of the fight game here.

their cars for few hours, and his re-
quest was responded to In a most graf
flying manner, enough machines being
on hand to carry the whole party with
out crowding.
The party left Ninth and Main streets
at 2:45 O'Clock and returned to the same
place at 4:S0 O'Clock, in time to take

MAY REARREST ACC0MPLICE
OF SLAYER OF AUBLE

District Attorney Fredercks yester-
day telegraphed to Sacramento re-
quest that the facts in connection
with the release of Fred Horning from
San Quentin prison be sent to him at
once. Hornine. was convicted of COM
plicity in the murder of Police Captain
Auble of this city. Mr. Fredericks
says he had no intimation of what
was going on until he learned that
Horning had been released.
Horning was an inmate or Folsom
prison up to June 10, when he was
released on habeas corpus proceedings.
His attorney brought the proceed
ings, claiming that the complaint is
sued against his client by the Los
Angeles officials was faulty. District
Attorney Fredericks stated yesterday
that the reason given for Horning's re-
lease is absurd. He has requested the
chief of police of Sacramento to take
steps to apprehend the man.

MAY ADVANCE MILK PRICES
BECAUSE OF HOT WEATHER

NEW YORK, July 14.-Prolongation
of the hot weather may result in
raising the cost of milk. Dealers who
are having trouble in supplying their
customers already have under consid-
Grafton an advance in the price paid
to producers.
Three cents a quart, the present price
paid to the farmers. is stated to be
the highest June price for milk in
thirty years. The advance of one
quarter of a cent IT was said to be
probable was likely to cause an in
crease in price of bottled milk in this
locality to cents quart, with d
corresponding advance for milk sold
from cans

ADJUTANT GENERAL SAYS
SHERIFF ENCOURAGED MOB

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 14.-Adjutant
General Weybrecht's report to-day of
the Newark lynching, turned over to
Attorney General Denman, severely ar
raigns Sheriff Linke, who shas quit his
office.
General Weybrecht says the sheriff
not only absolutely evaded executive
duty, but in measure encouraged the
mob in it's work. He said that in his
opinion the actual work was done by
not to exceed thirty or forty men, and
he thought the leaders should be easily
identified.

COMETS POISONOUS TAIL.

Yerkes Observatory Finds Cyanogen In
Spectrum of HaIley's Comet.
Although astronomers at the Har-
ward observatory at Boston have not
yet made a Photographic spectrum Of
Halley's comet, which is rapidly ap-
preaching the earth, a telegram recent
" received by them from the Yerkes
observatory states that spectra of the
comet obtained by the director and
his assistants show very prominent
cyanogen bands.
Cyanogen is a very deadly poison, a
grain of it's potassium salt touched to
the tongue being sufficient to cause
instant death. In the uncombined
state 1t is a blush gas very similar
in its chemical behavior to chlorine
and extremely poisonous. 1t IS char
acterized by an odor similar to that of
almonds. The fact that cyanogen is
present in the comet has been COM
municated to Camille Flammarion and
many other astronomers and is caus-
ing much discussion as to the probable
effect on the earth should it pass
through the comets tail. Professor
Flammarion is of the opinion that the
cyanogen gas would impregnate the
atmosphere and possibly SNUFF out all
life on the planet.
Only once. as far as known. has the
earth passed directly through the tail
of a comet. and at that time no uu-
usual phenomena were noticed except
that there were abundant showers of

For years we have made a scientific
study of these cases. BY finding these

and relieving them by special treat

others failed. Many of these cases
had been atling for years, and be-
fore coming to our Office, they had
been treated by others for all kinds
of complaints except the right ono.

march started from Beardstown. con-
tipued to Oquawka and thence to the
mouth Of Rock river. The markers
are to be of stone with suitable in
