She was an active worker in the recent equal suffrage campaign in L09 Angeles and In the Los An geles city election.

NOMINATED TIFT III SAY 3RD PARTY is run Pinchot Takes Slap at Re cord of President Taft Washington, March 28.

"Mr. Roosevelt believed that Mr. Taft would stand for the people," said Pinchot,' "so he supported him in 1908.

Taylor's Coyote-dog naa a cnance iasi mgni ueiwee.i a night in jail or death and he chose the former alternative, or rather Of ficer Ira Hughes chose it for him. Freaking loose from his chains which have kept him a prisoner in the sheriff's back yard for the past few months, he came down town last night for a frolic. It so happened though that Dan P. Smjthe's two hounds, trained to hunt coyotes, were down on the street also and but for the timely appearance of the night officer they would have made a corpse of the half wild animal. The sheriff's pet is a cross between a coyote and a Spitz dog but, so far as appearance goes, the Spitz half U almost a negligible quantity. When Officer Hughes observed the animal frisking about on the street", he Im mediately decided that It was neces sary for the peace and safety of the city to effect Its capture which he did after considerable effort. Just as he did so the Smythe hounds caught the scent and the lust to kill seized them and, what with their efforts to get at the hybrid coyote and the lat ter's efforts to escape from his arms, the officer had trouble enough. How ever, he finally made his way to the rltv hall where his prisoner was locked up for the night. Puffing and prespirtng he went to his office, took out the police blotter and medi tated for some time upon the nature of the charge which should be booke.ltl (Continued on Page 6) COMMITTEE FINDS MUCH IS OPTIMISTIC That the move for a local Y.
