her hostess said that If there we're any

Let tho Guinea Pig Nov the Lawn.


IL you have lawn or O grass plot
or even a tiny back yard in which
you take sufficient pride to resent the
appearance OF obnoxious weeds get a
guinea pig. The guinea pig Is said to
be an excellent weed killer and a lawn
mower MS well. Turn the guinea pig
or half dozen of them loose on the
lawn. The animals at once attack all
the worst weeds. These broad leaved
plants, which moving machines will
not touch. are killed by the persistent
cutting of the guinea pigs teeth
When they have finished the weeds
they proceed to the grass. In a very
short time the lawn looks as IL it had
been cut by the very closest machine

Detective on Lower Floor Able to Keep in Touch With What is Trans pirins in the Room Above Him.

Los Angeles, Nov. 30.-A lot oi twisted wire dangling from an upper window today led to an investigation by counsel defending James B. Me convinced that the walls of the Los Angeles county jail have ears which had heard many confidential speeches. Room Where McManigaI Received Vis-
 itors.
 The wire runs from a window in an unoccupied cell room on the third floor of the Jail to another unoccupied room on the second floor. Visitors to Ortie E. McManfSal, one of the states main witnesses in the trial of McNamara for the death Of Charles J. Haggerty, one of the 21 men killed in the explosion at the Los Angeles Times building, saw McManiga1 in the upper room from which the wire dangles.
 Detective Overheard Conversations.
 A detective and perhaps a stenog- rapher were in the lower room, but for all practical purposes, it is said the wire placed them in hearing of persons who talked to B1cManigaI while the jury was in session. This is the declaration of the defense, which has no documentary evidence on the subject, except a picture of the wire.
 District Attorney Admits It.
 T should not wonder a bit if it's true" said District Attorney FredericI1s when asked if a dictaphone had been used in this manner. There should be nothing unusual about that. There's just a round disc attached to the win dow shade or against the pane so that no one would notice it, and the wire leading to some other place."
 Record of Mrs. McMa an1gaPs Gall.
 What this device has meant to the state became manifest on inspection of the list of names of those who have visited AlcManigaL It includes Mrs. McManigal, who, according to her hus- band, coerced him by threats of sep aration into signing a note asking Clarence s. Darrow, chief of counsel for. the defense, to come to see him. It is the theory of counsel for the de- fense that his interview was tran scribed on the floor below AfcAIani- gal a short time later repudiated the request.

FEAR ASSASSINATION
 OF PREMIER YUAN SHI kAI His Friends Ask Legations to Take
 Measures to Protect Him.


 Picking, Nov. 30.-The national as- sembly convened in secret session to- day at the request of Yuan Shi Kai, present has not been asecrtained, but of those in attendance were imperial ists.
 The Belgian loan of S3O. 900, . 900 was approved. as also was the con tract in conjunction with the loan for bridge across the Yang-tse river be- tween Hankow and Wu Chang.
 There has been a significant move ment of troops in and out of Picking, Manchus departing and Chinese taking their places. It is reliably reported that the garrison now is almost equal ly balanced in Manchu and Chinese troops. The action of the regent in permitting the departure of the Man chus Is believed to indicate his reli- ance in the loyalty of Yuan Shi Ka1 but 1t is said to be likely that the real reason for it was that Yuan Shi Kai feared an outbreak among the troops which would augment his diff faculties and possibly result in anti foreign disorders. Prominent Manchus, however distrust Yuan Shf Kai, and believe that his object was solely to obtain complete power.
 Reports are seriously circulated here that Yuan Shi hai intends to assume the regency if not the throne. Friends of the premier, fearing for his assas- sination, recently solicited several of the foreign legations to take measures to protect him. The legations indt- cated their willingness to acquiesce.
