FIRST JURORETTES Of
CALF. FREE A MAN
And Charge Was Using Pro-
family
Forewoman Explains That Accused
Editor Was Honest in Printing
WOrdI Taboocd by Polite Society.

Los Angeles, Calf, Nov. 3.-Re-
turning a verdict of not guilty, in the
case of A. A. King editor Of the Watts
News, who was under arrest and tried
on a charge of printing obscene mat
ter, was the action &c the first jury
of women who ever cried a legal case
in California.
Editor King had printed an account
of an attack made upon him by a
member of the city council and quoted
verbatim, the language used by the
councilman, which was replete with
profane remarks.
After hearing the case, the Juror
cites retired and after short delib-
GRAFTON brought in>.a verdict of ac-
quittal. The forewoman of the jury,
however. took occasion to let the de-
fendant know that she and the other
juroretts, did not in the least approve
of his action in printing such matter,
but added that the jury was of the
opinion that the editor was acting
honestly when he reported, in full,
what the councilman said.

FIRE VICTIMS TO
OCCUPY ONE GRAVE

Chehalis, Wash, Nov. 3.-The char
red blackened bones of five of the
young women victims of the Imperial
Powder Works fire horror, of We'd
nesday, will tomorrow be buried in
one grave in the cemetery at this
place. The one grave was decided
on with the failure to positively es-
tablish the identity of the parts of
bones found after the fire.
The remains are those of Miss Vera
Mulford, Eva Gilmore, Bertha Crown,
Bertha Hagle and Sadie Westfall. The
funeral of the other three victims will
be held sunday.
The report that a ninth victim had
been found has proven untrue, and
arose from the discovery of the burn
ed skull and other bones of one of
the victims previously found.
1t is now believed that the origin
of the fire will never be known and
a coroner's jury has eXonerated the
company, owning the destroyed plant,
from all blame.

HINTS FOR MUSIC PUPILS
If They Reside in Flats They Should
Practice When Everyone
Else Is Out.

Persons learning music and living
in fiat buildings should be induced to
practice playing and singing on sched'
ule.
A time at which nobody but the
cook is around is suggested as a good
one.
This would be considered a hardship
by the grown person who works dowp.
town and seeks the solace of music ss
interpreted by himself, but somebody
in every community must make a sac,
rifice now and then.
Eight o'clock Sunday morning is not
the time for a man with faulty fingers
and an erroneous a to play on the
violin HAS Anybody Here Seen Kell
ly?" The answer of mo" is apparent,
but the question is persisted in and
the late once-a-week sleep which ID
a luxury to many is made impossible.
In fair weather the budding cor,
netist or violinist likes to sit by a win
dow opening upon the light shaft. This
spreads his villiany all the easier
among the neighboring apartments.
If it isn't-a violin Or a cornet 1t ia
"a piano or the underdeveloped singer
that is an infection. The Mikado'
scale of justice is not available, but
lis pleasant to contemplate.

ELECTRIC HOTEL FOR PARIS
Current Will Do Everything In. the
Proposed Structure Except Pay
Guests Bill.

The interesting news comes from
Paris that a hotel will be built there
In which all the domestic service will
lie performed by electricity. If the
promoters of the scheme keep their
promises, everything will be done by
electricity except the guests payment
of their bills. Even then they can
give the cashier a shock by refusing
to. pay.
There will be no walters, no bell
hops, no coat boys, nj chambermaids,
and consequently no tips. If a guest
arrives home at 3 a. m. all he will
have to do is to touch a button, which
will turn an electric sun, and then he
a say to his wife:
my dear, you're really getting
lazy. Look at me. I'm up and dress
ed!"
If he feels that he needs a cocktail,
he can touch another button. One
touch brings a martini, two whisky,
three a Manhattan, four very outh,
five an ambulance. In answer, a dumb
waiter rises through the floor either
to bring the desired bracer, or, when
need be, to lower the guest to the
ambulance.
The hotel promoters lay much
stress on the fact that all their wait
ers are dumb. In place Of the ordi-
nary Swiss who only stand and wait,
instead of running and serving, there
will be automatons run by electricity
and guaranteed not to spill soup down
your back or creamed asparagus in
your lap. The dining table will be
decorated with flowers raised by in
tensive electrical culture in both win
ter and summer, for there will be no
seasons in this hotel; push a button
and you're warmer than when you see
another fellow walking with the "only
dear one on earth,' push another
button and you're colder than when
the other fellow frigidly asks, What
the devil are you doing here?"
One of the features of the hotel will
be an electric orchestra, in which all
kinds of stringed instruments will ap.
parently play of their own accord.
The inventor, a Frenchman named
Georgia KNAPP, who has spent years ex-
perimenting with the various devices,
asserts that they are now all abso-
lutely perfect, and has formed a COM
pany under the name "Societe des Ho-
tells ElectriQues" for the purpose of
building electric hotels in every big
city throughout the worN.-New York
World.
