Jean - Lacier, 70 years old and the richest man in the vicinity of Gardena. barrl caded himself in his house yesterday and. before helD could arrive, had made way with himself by severing the jugular vein with a pocketknlfe. The double crime was committed on the ranch where the Lagiers have re sided for over 30 years and where they have together accumulated a fortune estimated at (150.000. Crime Xot Witnessed. No one witnessed It, and Lagier's son and daughter did not even see his own death, aa he had gone to the barn un der the pretense that he intended tak ing a nap. this before the dead body of his wife was found in the vineyard. Lagier's twenty-two-year-old son and' his eighteen-year-old daughter, Marie, were away from home at the time of the killing, which is believed to have occurred at about 2 o'clock this afternoon. Her body was found at considerable distance from the ranch house, half hidden among the grape vines among which she had evidently run in an effort to escape from her husband. A thorough search of the premises by the Sheriff's Deputy has so far failed to locate the knife with which the murder was committed. I.SKlrr and Wife Quarrel. Lagier is believed to have killed his wife in a fit of passion, as it is known that they had been quarreling for sev eral days and Lagier is said to have been drinking heavily during that time. It seems evident that he bad made up his mind to kill his wife early in the day, as he see.'ned anxious for his ton and daughter to leave the ranch for day's outing as early as possible. Evidently they returned before he had completed his plans. Arriving at the ranch-house shortly before 3 o'clock from the beach, the children found the place tightly locked up. They called, but their father put them off with evasive answers until it became evident to him that suspic ion would soon be aroused.' He then lipped out to the barn and cut his throat. The boy and girl are pros trated with grief. HELLO FLIRTS GET SHOCK Spokane Line Mashers Hear Stern . Voice of Phono Supervisors. SPOKANE. Wash., July 22. (Spe cial.)

Th?r may be a set of Olympic eams some day to which this country will aend a. shipload of women athletes.. The thin? is not unlikely in view of the progress which women are making- in branches of strenuous athletic endeavor where for centuries man has been un challenged. A woman recently finished a 1070 mile walk from- New York to Chicago several days ahead of scheduled time, and when some of the windy City po lice gallantly tried to pace her on the home stretch she left them far behind. panting and perspiring. Mrs. Herber, Wadsworth, the woman who once beat Roosevelt on a long distance ride when he wv President beat the unbeatable T. R., mind you has just completed ride of several thousand miles which kept her in the saddle ror 40 consecu tive days. Our schoolgirl swimmers here ii Boston have won so many races and beaten so many men that nobody can keep track of them. In golf, tennis and archery the women champions are more than a match for most men who engage in those sports. In their field days the college girls are making rec ords that are not at all to be despised by the average young man in college. Only the other day a team of women polo players defeated a team of men. At every shore' and mountain resort for the next three months the athletic girl will be much in evidence sun burned, lithe, erect, deep-chested, clear eyed. self-reliant. tireless driving mere man to madder and madder de grees of madness. The athletic woman has come, ine only question is how far she will go. She has so completely smashed the old-time traditions and prejudices that almost anything may be expected of her except a champion ball team. A female marathon race from South Framingham to Kxeter street Is not at all impossible in the next decade. CHURCH FITTINGS RICH CARDINAL FARLEY PRESIDES AT CONSECRATION".

Greater Glories Yet. 4 New Orleans Cor. Sir William Crookes, of London, Eng land, 80 years of age, hopes that a law will not be passed limiting him to eight hours work a day. Sir William is the discoverer of the metal tnanum. the radiometer and other numerous scientific inventions.' He believes that a great deal of his success In science due to having lived so long and that every ten years has given some addi tion to his knowledge. As far back as 1892 he was foretelling wireless tele graphy, and even at that day he talked learnedly of overcoming difficulties with regard to want of secrecy. This noted scholar believes that in some part of the human brain may lurk an organ capable of transmitting and re ceiving other electrical raya of wave lengths hitherto undetected by mecnan ical means and that they may be in strumental in transmitting thought from one brain to another. Sir Will iam also believes that if it is possible to get nitrates from the atmosphere we can go on increasing the fertility of the land to almost any . extent. Strange things have come to pass in the past; no one knows what the fu ture has in store. Social Tilings to Do. Washington (D. C.) Herald. Seat coupons for a box are given to the usher at the door.
