EDISON SPRINGS a NEW ONE,

Thomas A. Edison wizard of the electrical
world has brought forth a new idea that will not
prove popular with the great army of persons
who make their living by clerking in the stores.
Mr. Edison Is nothing If not original and his new
scheme has its interesting points.
An automatic store, which might be called q
clerkess store, is the wizards" scheme Mr..
Edison SAYS it will decrease the cost of living and
be a boon to mankind. He has given thought to
the great number of clerks that would be thrown
out of employment If his idea should be carried
into effect but he says 1t would permit them to
devote their time to something that would benefit
them and their country more than their present
occupation does.

REDFERNS flight
due TO A WOMAN
Mrs. F. N. Farrand Admits That
She Suspected LOdger Was
Acid Thr0wer "a
Young Man and Companion
Found They Were Watched
and Left the House

Further investigation yesterday con-
firmed the suspicion that Van Camp
Redfern. the alleged acid singer, was
the young man who with a companion
occupied u room in Bush street within
view of the home of his victim, Ruth
Frances Wilson. until last Thursday
night If Mrs. E. n. Farrand had re-
ported the matter to the police at the
time the fugitive would have been IN
the city prison several days ago.
The Farrand house at 1916 Bush
street commands view of the Wilson
residence in Octavia street across the
Bell estate. and was admirably situated
for the purposes of the acid thrower.
At 2:15 o'clock on the afternoon OF the
crime Redfern and his companion
dashed across Bush street and into the
Farrand home. where they had rented
a room for a week.
When questioned Mrs. Farrand gave
a description of the young man sup
posed TO have been Redfern and it
conceded with that of the fugitive.
She said that the pair engaged the
back parlor with the use of the front
room, from which they could view the
Wilson residence. They had no bag
gage, but the one supposed to be Red
fern was always clad in clean linen.
quarters every day and secured a
change of clothing.
Scribbled also on a piece of paper in
the rooms occupied by the young men
was the mystic number "SS,' which
figured prominently in several Of Red
ferns letters and in the parlance OF
the Lowell high school was the equiv
alent of "23 skidoo."
The suspicious of Mrs Farrand and
her son were aroused by the reports
in the newspapers the morning after
Miss Wilson was hurt. The young men
left Thursday night. two days after
the commission of the crime, as they
noticed that she was watching them.
Mrs. Farrand declared that her hus-
band had forbidden her TO report the
matter to the police. fearing that the
name of the family might be given
notoriety.
That RedfeTn has left the city was
indicated by the receipt of information
| from Chico to the effect that the fol-
| lowing message was discovered in a
| hotel at that place;
"Redfern, the Frisco acid thrower. is
writing this. April 13. 1910. 1 intend
| to fix her some more. She hasn't a

and the lid was off, while F1annery and
Ueffngwell talked politics in the lobby
and the house detective thought the st.
Francis might be pinched as gambling
resort-whieh it was for the time be-
ing.
The OCCASION of the gambling and
festivity was the visit to San Fran
cisco of the Hotelmens mutual bene-
fit association, en- route home to the
effete east after their convention in
Los Angeles. The San Francisco
hotelmen's association decided to
show the visitors touch of real life,
and so turned the colonial ballroom
into a mining camp. Time turned
backward just for one night and took
the lid off
The ballroom was completely trans
formed. The walls were covered with
camp scenes, and on the west wall
was a handsome scene of the Yosemite.
J. r. Alexander and T. P. Stanley of
the local association planned the most
successful, unique and eXhilerating
entertainment ever given here.

MARRIAGE"
TAKEN INTO COURT
Entitled Only to Unencumbered
Estate of Husband

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 19.-
Although the supreme court of Utah
decided several years ago that a ''celes-
tial marriage" which was never after
ward observed, made Annie Hilton the
legal widow of the late DR.. J. r. Park
and entitled her to the unencumbered
estate of the decedent, it was adjudged
today in another suit that Mrs. Hilton
had no dover rights in property sold
by Doctor Park without her signature
prior to his death. Such rights, the
court held, were forfeited when Mrs.
Hilton was married to Hilton and lived
as his wife during Parks lifetime.

sionar Harry Flannery and Elmer Lef-
f1ngwell, the mayors secretary, sat in

Herschey tossed pennies with himself
to see if the house would be pinched.
Herschey's anxiety was pathetic.
In the center of the room was the
ring, and there the comedians told
stories-most of which are copyrighted

the social part of the evening. An

None of the roulette wheelmen or faro
layouters were included-they were too
busy taking the money and the money
was doing the talking for them.
HONEST GEORGE SPEAKS
Honest George Knight, champion or

Billy Jordan's proteges who could not
resist the temptation to make a
speech. Honest" George made a good
speech. "All of this 1 saw and part

hand comprehensively around the
