Tobacco Bill Half of Family Food Cost
LOS ANGELES, July 13. Is a man justified in spending half as much for tobacco as he does for the family provisions?
This question came before Judge McLucas today in the divorce suit brought by Ella A. Bennett against Daniel J. Bennett.
His smoking expenses were more than half our food bill," the plaintiff said.
According to the testimony of one witness Bennett nagged and quarreled with his wife because she failed to cook his meals in southern style.
Once he demanded her engagement ring and when she refused to give it to him threatened her life, was testimony adduced by Attorney Fay R. Robertson, representing Mrs. Bennett.

Secret Conference Held in Mystery of Los Angeles Beauty's Slaying
ANGELES, July 13.— Thru a court in the blank wall of mystery that shuts in the facts concerning one of the most brutal and grewsome murders in the police annals of Los Angeles—that of a young and beautiful girl beaten to death with a hammer on a lonely road in broad daylight—detectives today caught a glimpse of a red roadster automobile.
It is for this automobile they are searching, in the belief that its unidentified driver may have been the man who slew the girl.
At Manning, chief criminal deputy sheriff, had a conference behind closed doors today with a stranger whose shoes were covered with dust, as were the bottoms of his trousers. Immediately after the conference, the nature of which he refused to disclose, Manning and Deputy Sheriff Joe Nolan departed for Paul's undertaking establishment to examine the body of the murdered girl.
The wall of mystery shut in the identity of both the murderer and his victim.
Outside it detectives detailed to solve the puzzle found a few meager clues. They are:
A broken and blood-stained ham-mare handlex
A piece of paper.
A bit of blue twine.
Automobile tracks in the dust.
The police believe the tracks were made by the red roadster, while seen going at reckless speed near the scene of crime about one time the girl is believed to have been slain.
The task of the police was not only to find the murderer but to identify his victim.
Of the latter nothing was known except what the bruised and muti-tated body disclosed—that she was between 25 and 30 years of age, that her hair was bobbed, her stockings rolled down, that she was well dressed, attractive, well built and that some of her clothing had been purchased in Detroit, Mich., and some of it in Los Angeles.
The motive for the crime remained as puzzling as the identity of its perpetrator and that of his victim.

Poor Markmanship Saves F. S. Young, Charged With Alleged Indecency
Sanja Ana canyon, scene of auto tragedies, place of refuge of criminals, and haunt of holdup men, this afternoon might have witnessed another slaying, but for the poor markmanship of R. H. W. Rolls.

Shoots Wife to Save Her From Other Men
LOS ANGELES, July 13.—Charging his wife, Mrs. Myrtle E. Webber, with leading a dual life, Frank Ebber, 40, a taxicab driver, shot three times this morning and then committed suicide in her apartments 317 South Flower street.
In a letter apparently written just every Member of Cisneros' Family of Nine Is Suffering from Sores
Every member of Cisneros' family of nine, including himself, was afflicted with sores which Cisnero's brother and wife told Charles C. Carrillo, official Spanish interpreter of the county, were caused by curses and a spell which the Moreno woman, one of Cisnero's two victims, cast upon him. This fact, revealed today, indicated that the woman was the object of Cisnero's vengeance quite as much as Escobedo, with whom the Moreno woman lived. Cisneros will be arraigned at Santa Ana tomorrow.
According to the story which Cisneros' people told Carrillo, there was not a sign of such eruptions before the Moreno woman called down the punishment of heaven upon the family. Afterward, sores broke out under arms, on backs and elsewhere upon the bodies of the ill-fated Mexicans.
A girl of Cisneros family, when asked at the Mexican colony to explain the crime, shrugged her shoulders with a half smile and said she didn't know. No information could be gained from her, even with the aid of a Mexican boy who understood both tongues.
Sixty days in jail, a curse or spell which not only brought illness, as alleged to his whole family, but unemployment to him, and perhaps caused the hatred of the family which existed in the neighborhood of Kemp street were too much for the superstitious half-breed Yaqui, who already had quarreled repeatedly with both Escobedo and the Moreno woman. Death appeared the only rescue for him, and he struck in true Yaqui manner.
The previous quarrels o fthe two The previous quarrels o fthe two neros often had acted in a threatening manner. It was not until he had been out of county jail for at least a month, however, to which he was sent on Escobedo's testimony, after he had assaulted Escobedo with a railway spike, that the culmination came. Cisneros had complained over some pigs which the Moreno woman had, and she was forced to remove them. Later Cisneros had thrown a rock at Escobedo's dog, the occasion for the assault mentioned. Ugly words did not soothe the existing irritation.
On Sunday morning, according to Mrs. Cisneros, her husband arose at about six o'clock and left the house. It was not until nearly an hour later or half an hour after the double slaying that she knew of the tragedy. Cisneros positively will be arraigned tomorrow, it was declared today at the office of the District Attorney. The date of the opening of the actual trial then will be set.

Under the initiative of the American Legion posts most of the civic, business and fraternal organizations will be mustered in a campaign here to obtain funds with which to build a swimming pool in the municipal park on North Lemon street, together with facilities for games of many sorts for grownups and little ones; Santa Ana plans a similar drive.
The Community Service organizer is expected here on or about Oct. 1 and in Santa Ana on or about Sept. 15. These dates are tentative only, depending upon the convenience of the Community Service.
San Diego, after repeatedly failing to carry thru such a campaign "on its own", finally succeeded after a Community Service organizer had enlisted the aid of all interests concerned.
The advantage of using such an organizer is that all bodies are united in the one big project, instead of each body individually working for some small object, said Adjutant Arthur A. Cohen of the Anaheim Post No. 72.
While the Legion initiates the drive it is not a Legion affair, although the Legion participates like the businessmen's and other clubs, Cohen explains.
The local post at its meeting on Tuesday night passed these resolutions:
"Whereas, The war camp Community Service was a great assistance to all service-men during the war, and its successor, Community Service, has done much to aid Ex-Service men in many ways:
"And, whereas, Community Service supplies a service that is very much needed in Anaheim, and is a great force in bringing the various members of the Community together;
"Therefore be it resolved that we the members of Anaheim Post No. 72 of the American Legion of Anaheim, California heartily endorse the Community Service movement, and in order that Anaheim may profit by such an organization, we request that the National Arganization of Community Service send Anaheim an organizer, and we will assist in whatever way possible to aid Community Service in making this a better Community in which to live."
The service is supported by wealthy men and women in many parts of every section of the country, nummering 250 or more individuals.

LOCAL VETS COMPLETE PETITION
The work of obtaining signatures to the petition for the amendment, making constitutional the proposed $10,000,000 state bond issue for farm and home-site aid to ex-service men practically has been completed in Orange county Commander Wm. P. Webb, Jr., said today. The signed blanks are being forwarded to the county clerk for certification and will be sent on to the Secretary of State by him. Some of the communities have responded 100 per cent strong to the Legion's appeal.
There was no doubt of the work being successful, said Webb, in spite of the big quotas of names assigned the county. When these quotas were cut 75 per cent the task was made proportionately easier.
Most of the So. Calif. counties appear to be warmly backing the drive, but northern cities are inclined to be apathetic. Webb declared. Why there should be any opposition to the amendment, Webb said he couldn't discover, because the ex-service man merely obtained a loan and paid five per cent for it.
At the present time five per cent is an excellent return on State bonds and Webb intimated that the bond interest might be cut under this, allowing a margin sufficient to cover the cost of the overhead.
The present State administration is backing the amendment apparently to the full.

BIG JOURNAL TELLS OF LOCAL LAUNDRY
The new plant of the Anaheim Laundry Co. is described at length in an illustrated article in the National Laundry Journal's current issue. The author is Elwood L. Murray, Los Angeles correspondent.
Murray says in part:
"With the completion of their new $25,000 laundry building at Anaheim, which, with its equipment, comprises an investment of $150,000, the three Theodore Brothers, who in the year 1912 took over a small laundry business and built it up until it justified the erection of this modern plant, wanted their fellow citizens to rejoice with them over the completion of the new plant, and to view it in operation, so they sent out word that on the evening of May 18, a formal opening of the Anaheim Laundry would be held. Did the Anaheim people turn out? Well, it is estimated that over 3,000 of them did, and there are those who say that 4,000 would come nearer to a real estimate."
The Plain Dealer's account of the opening was quoted at length.
Two illustrations, one showing the exterior of the building as a whole, the other the interior with its machinery, brighten up the article.
