SEES PAWNSHOP DUMMY
WEARING HIS $50 SUIT
Doctor Causes Arrest of Cleaner
with Whom He Left His
Glad Rags

What would you do If you strolled
down Main street one afternoon and
saw your best Sunday suit which you
had paid $50 for only few weeks ago
dangling in the breeze in front of a
pawnshop with an SIS For sale" tag
on it?
Such was the experience of DR.. p. L.
Rimmer, a dentist. Rimmer was a
customer of c. E. Morrow, who con-
ducts a suit-cleaning and pressing es-
tablishment at 154 South Broadway.
Several weeks ago Rimmer delivered
his suit to Morrow to have it cleaned
and pressed. Each time Rimmer called
for it, he alleges, 1t was said to be not
ready.
Yesterday Rimmer was walking
down Main street and 10 and behold,
there before his eyes was his best suit
hanging in front of a pawnshop. He
Immediately hied himself to the offices
of Deputy District Attorney Vietch
and swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Morrow on a misdemeanor embez-
element charge.
DIR. G. H. Hutchinson is also alleged
to have found his suit, also sent to
the cleaners, in a similar place to
where Rimmer found his.
Morrow was arrested late yesterday
afternoon by Detective Hawley and
will be arraigned this morning before
Police Judge Rose.

TW|NS--NOT OF SAME ACE
GET MARRIAGE LICENSES

Twins. SO and So years of age, re-
spectively, took out licenses to marry
from the county clerks Office yester-
day. They were Fred P. Pillsbury and
Frank w. Pillsbury. They visited the
clerks Office about an hour apart.
The difference in their ages, as twins,
resulted from an anxiety on the part
of Fred to appear young enough for
his bride of IS, Miss Maude Raley.
Frank gave his age as 80 years, be-
cause he was in no wise alarmed, his
bride, Miss Marie Maine, being "a years
old.
Fred appeared at the clerks office
first and on being questioned by the
clerk as to his qualifications hesitated
regarding his age. Finally he said SS
years would do for him.
'Why, Fred, your brother Frank says
he is 35 years old and he is your twin
brother isn't he?" quizzed his pros
pective bride.
"Oh, he doesn't know how old he is"
replied Fred.
When the clerk came to make out the
license for Frank Pillsbury he found
that his age was 35 years.
"HaVe you a twin brother?' he asked.
yes" replied Frank.
"Well, his age Is down here as 33
years, so how can you be twins?"
"Oh, we're twins, all right" said
Frank as he winked at the clerk, "and
l am So years of age"

mendation Of the supply committee Is
approved by the council today. The
supply committee will also recommend

partment be fitted up for the pur-
poses of a municipal store room,

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Gets COUNCIL s COAT
ObeyS Order to Advertise for Bids
and Gets 0ne-at Higher
Figure

If the council will now adopt a reso-
luton It refused to adopt several weeks
ago the city may be saved $50 a day.
This is the gentle little jolt the board
Of public works will give the council
today. 1t will not be at all nice for
the council. for its refusal to adopt
the resolution to which the board re-
fers resulted in nothing but delay and
one high bid.
Several weeks ago w. M. Humph-
reys, chief inspector of public works,
presented an emergency resolution for
the council to pass authorizing the
board to engage the necessary teams
and wagons to collect ashes, cans and
other non-combustible rubbish. The
council said:
"You must have specifications and
advertise for bids"
The board acted on the suggestion
and advertised for bids. One bid was
submitted by P. J. Durbin, who has
had the contract for several months
at 81 a day for each team and wagon.
Durbin's bid was SO a day under the
specifications and he was compelled to
make this Increase because the speci-
fications required him to assemble his
teams and wagons at different
point from his own corrals. This
change had to be made in the speci-
fications In order that any one could
bid
Durbin has offered to continue to
furnish teams and wagons at 81 day
each as long as the board may require
them IL allowed to assemble at his
own corrals and the board will ask the
council to pass the emergency resolu-
tion today that will enable it to hire
Durbin.
The board says in its report that II
forced to advertise again even Durbin
may not bid and the city will be left
without anyone to collect the nom

SUFFRAGETTE? NOT YET
BUT SOON, YOU BET
GRACE GEORGE.
Actress for Equal Rights but She
Doesn't NEEDLE in Hub
by'S Business
GRACE GEORGE.

Grace George, the actress, is a near
suffragette.
She said so herself yesterday in a
rapid-fire interview, which touched half
dozen subjects and lasted not more
than five minutes. Miss George has the
happy faculty of draining any subject
dry of interest with few words. With
it all she Is serious-like all comedi m
nes in real life-and believes her mis-
sion in life Is to instruct, rather than
to amuse.
Are you suffragette?" was the
manner In which the conversation
which took place in Miss Georges 8
partments at the Alexandria began.
mot yet, but soon," answered Miss
George. 81 recently bought a home,
and 1 mean to have something to say
about running it. That's why / am in
favor of equal rights Any woman who
is properly qualified should have the
same rights in every respect as man.
/ believe an intelligent educated
woman Is better qualified to vote than
an uneducated man. Certain 1t Is she
will make better citizen.
1.-The world Is woman's sphere; the
home her particular portion thereof.
Since the woman knows the home so
well, does 1t not necessarily follow that
she knows what is best for the home?
AS ldWS are iIldue " pTOleCl llo HOilc
why should not woman have some voice
in making those laws?
Equal suffrage will come sooner or
later. Those who oppose it will be de-
clared reactionary. You may as well
try to prevent the tides of the sea ebb-
ing and flowing as to prevent women
voting. I am not particularly In favor
of violent methods of getting the bal
lot, but do believe women should de-
mand their rights of recognition"
Asked how she felt about her hus-
band. William A. Brady, going over to
the Shuberts, the independents in the
theatrical world, she replied with a
snap: That's my husbands business,
and do not meddle in his affairs"
AS to her histrionic future, Miss
George said: IT shall yet enact some
serious roles. I do not expect or want
to become a second Mrs. Leslie Carter
or an Olga Nethersole, but do believe
will be known as an emotional
actress. I want to be like Mrs. Fiske,
and do serious things of the character
she has presented to the world. Every
body calls me a comedenne. 1 may be,
but believe I am more than that. 1
am now rehearsing something entirely
different than I have ever played, and
believe I shall see success crown my
work"

DEAD GIRLS JEWELRY
IS REPORTED MISSING

Friends of Miss Harriet S. Anderson,
who died at the county hospital Sat
urday afternoon following an opera
ton for cancer, appealed to the police
yesterday to assist them, in locating
some jewelry which it is claimed she
had with her at the time of her death.
Miss Anderson had been living with
Miss Edith Burlington, both of whom
were members OF the Nurses associa-
tion of Los Angeles, at 339 South Bun
ker Hill avenue. Wednesday afternoon
she left the house for the county hos
pltal, reaching there at $3.50 o'clock.
When she left the house Miss SBuf-
fington declares that Miss Anderson
had a gold watch and chain with her,
and told her if she died to sell the jew
elry and bury her with the proceeds.
According to the steward of the coun-
ty hospital Miss Anderson arrived at
the hospital too late to be registered
at the office and so she was taken over
to one of the wards by nurse. Those
connected with the hospital emphat-
ically declared that they did not see
Miss Anderson with any jewelry.

Typhoid Fever
More of It Here Than in Any
Other Civilized Land

When the digestive process is
perfect and the general system is
strong and vigorous, no fear need
be entertained of germs, typhoid,
tubercular or otherwise, as it is
only when the system is run
down and in a weakened state
that these germs or bacilli find
favorable lodgment and multiply.
We are daily taking into our
bodies by way of the mouth, the
nostrils and the skin many dis
ease germs of destructive ma
ture, but as the conditions within
the body are not favorable to
their propagation they are rendered
inert, destroyed or thrown off without
injury In localities where typhold
and other low forms of fever prevail
because of contaminated water or
other cause the Importance of sustain
ing the system at a high standard or
health, in order to resist the germ in
huence upon the bodily functions, can
not be overestimated. Sunshine fresh
air. proper nourishment and sufficient
rest are essential to good health, and
whatever contributes to the peace and
luxury of perfect digestion must not
he neglected. A remedy that excites
the flow of the saliVary fluid for the
digestion of starches and stimulates
the mucous surfaces and little glands
of the stomach in the digestion of all
other foods, and at the same time, as
a simple food, contributes heat and en-
ergy to the body, must be of priceless
value in sustaining and building up
nd ran1prinp il immune TO
the despoliation of germs or other
evil agents of health. Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey is indisputably this
remedy. 1t not only serves to keep the
bodily health at the highest notch of
excellence, but in typhoid fever, espe-
cially, when the bodily functions are
at their lowest ebb and death seems
Imminent, it is retained by the stom-
ach when other agents are rejected,
and as q food and stimulant sustains
life until the crisis Is passed While
conyalescing after fever it is the great
est strength-giver and body-builder
known to science.
Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey has to
its credit fifty years of success. 1t is
the result of years of careful work and
is an absolutely pure distillation of
carefully matted grain. Overworked
men, delicate women and sickly chill
dren will find in Duffy's Pure Malt
Whislxey the health and strength-giv-
ing properties that are so necessary to
them. You should have it in your
home. 1t is a wonderful romedy in the
prevention and cure of consumption,
pneumonia, grippe. bronchitis, coughs
colds, asthma, malaria, low fevers,
estomach troubles and all wasting and
weakening conditions if taken as di-
rected.

WHEN ROMANCE is BLASTED

After closing every window tightly
and corking the cracks of the doors

thony Brazil, a shipping clerk en-
