Inquest Held Late Today at Mortuary in Huntington Beach
Weary of poverty, old age and friendless, a Japanese, about 60, shot himself thru the head at Sunset each morning not far from here Julian Cumberland of Los Angeles, wealthy retired rancher formerly of Orange county, killed himself.
The name of the unfortunate, who had evidently been tramping for miles, could not be learned by Sheriff G. E. Jackson and Deputy Sheriff C. M Wood, who rushed over to the beach in answer to a long distance telephone call by Messrs. Snyder and White, beach residents, who declared a man had bee beaten over the headand murdered.
Two young men, who refused to give their names, about 4 a.m. came upon the man still alive, lying almost in the water. They pulled him further up on the beach and informed Snyder and White.
Tied up in a paper bag were the effects of the unfortunate, who was a partial cripple, with one short leg. In his pocket was a Japanese book.
The bullet entered the right ear and came out at the top of the head. He died soon afterward.
City Marshal Jack Tinsley of Huntington Beach had the body removed to the Bunshuh mortuary where an inquest was held late today.
ANAHEIM'S NEWEST WELL COMPLETED

CITY NEEDS TRAFFIC OFFICER
Annaheim needs a speed officer as a permanent member of the police. Kuchel pointed to a total of $1775 tion as city recorder was accepted last night by the city council, declared today in an informal statement.
At present, said Kuchel, Louis Vokali, motorcycle officer, puts in only 50 hours per month. The result is that offenders in the intervals get away scott free. Kuchel asked whether the city ordinance prohibiting speeding was to be enforced or not.
Kuchel pointed to a totalof $1755 collected in fines, practically all but $600 of which was for traffic violations. The $600 consisted of two fines of $300 each, the maximum penalty, imposed upon the Oyster Loaf Cafe and E. D. Zumwalt for bootlegging. Kuchel said that if the city council was disposed to enforce the prohibition laws, the licenses of the cafe should have been revoked.
Fithout asserting it as a fact, Kuchel said circumstances indicated his resignation had been asked, because of refusal to reduce the two fines for bootlegging.
Kuchel maintained that bootlegging still was going on, and named one place in particular that constantly was violating the law.
During its term of approximately 10 weeks, to be continued until Aug. 1, Kuchel claimed he never had a single complaint of injustice, and all of the offenders pleaded guilty. Threats of appeals for jury trials never materialized, he said. Several cases of intoxication were prosecuted.

Council Declines to Increase Salary of Kuchel From $75 to $125
The resignation of City Recorder, Charles Kuchel, was accepted by council last night, after Chairman Chas. Mann of the police committee recommended that no increase in salary from $75 to $125 as desired be granted. Kuchel collected over $1000 in fines last month.
G. B. Brown, expert accountant, was elected to succeed Kuchel.
The action followed reading of a letter from the Merchants Assn., commending the traffic law enforcement crusade and urging the placing of a traffic officer at Los Angeles and Center-sts from 6 to 9 p.m., especially Saturday evenings.
Joe Chutuk, Los Angeles, was awarded the contract for 10,103 feet six-inch sewer pipe, 16 manholes at $50, 11 manholes at $73, three flushtanks changed to manholes at $20. There were about a dozen bidders.
Council voted not to allow a driveway from the Center-st side of the auto parking station across from the California theater but suggested it be placed on Oak-st.
M. J. Bradley requested council So Citron-at which is very dusty, nothing having been done to it since the sewer was laid several months ago. He also asked that the roadway be fixed to obviate a double crossing of the railroad at South and West-sts where the city acquired the land for that purpose several years ago. City Manager Steward was instructed to look after both matters as soon as possible. The crossing will need some culverts.
Chas. Eygabroad of the official board of the White Temple requested permission to transfer the alley at the north of the church south 15 feet to permit room on a lot south of the alley for a large recreation hall and gymnasium. He stated the church had acquired 50 feet north of the alley but the building would have to be at least 60 feet wide. Council granted the transfer. The church will have the alley paved and give it accurate on the east end of the church property. An architect will start immediately to draw plans for the new enterprise.
Harry Stanley requested permission to engage in the auto brake lining and greasing business in the new Fellows-bldg on Clementine-st. Councilman Mann referred him to the city attorney to see if the business conflicted with the garage zone ordinance. The city marshal was instructed to obtain evidence against Clemer & Millings and Walter Sanders, charged with operating garages outside the prescribed district, and the City Attorney Weisel was instructed to prosecute.
Chairman Gates of the park committee reported prices on plants for that part of the park to be improved.
Says She Was Threatened With Death If She Ever Told
LOS ANGELES, July 14.—With attractive 23-year-old Clara Phillips, wife of A. L. Phillips, Los Angeles oil promotor, in a cell in the Tucson, Ariz., jail, awaiting the arrival of officers to bring her back to Los Angeles to be formally charged with beating to death with a hammer pretty 20-year-old Alberta Meadows at a lonely spot on Montecito drive, Mrs. Peggy Coffee of 1325 De Long street said to have been the only witness of the terrific and bloody fight that ended in Mrs. Meadow's death, was closed today! with Chief of Police Louis D. Oaks, Captain of Detectives Grant Robeds and Detective Sergeant Herman Sline, telling the story of the grewsome tragedy.
Mrs. Coffee declared she did not remain to witness the fatal ending of the struggle between the furious women. Terrified, she fled down the hill when a hammer wielded by one woman struck its first crushing blow upon the face of the other.
She was not present when the victor, smeared with the blood of her fallen adversary, climbed into the victim's automobile and drove away. But she was picked up down the road it is stated by the frantic victor and threatened with death if she divulged what she had seen.
Mrs. Coffee saw practically all of the terrible fight, she said, except the final blows that brought death to Mrs. Meadows. She saw the first blow struck that brought the blood spurting from the head of Mrs. Meadows, and heard "the latter cry," "Help me! help me! she'll kill me!" She saw Mrs. Meadows break away and try to climb into the automobile; saw Mrs. Phillips run after her, drag her back and bring the hammer down again and again on her head. Then she turned sick and walked away.
While Mrs. Peggy Coffee was telling her story to the police authorities, who questioned her closely, the distracted husband of the woman charged with the murder was riding along the valley boulevard accompanied by Deputy Sheriffs Joe Nolan and Frank Dewar, in search of the blood-stained head of the hammer that beat out the life of Mrs. Meadows.
And at the same time Fred Tremain, a carpenter living at 121 West Thirty-seventh street, father of the slain girl, was conferring with William Doran, chief deputy in the district attorney's office, preparatory to being taken before the grand jury to ask for an indictment against Mrs. Phillips.

White Temple which has voted unanimously for such a proposition...The building will be located on a lot just purchased immediately north of the church.
City Council last night voted to permit the removal of the alley 15 feet toward the church to give room for the improvement.
M. Eugene Durfee, architect, has been instructed to proceed at once with plans and building operations should be underway by September. It is hoped to be in the building by Jan. 1.
The new building will be 60 feet wide and 100 or more feet deep. The architecture will correspond to the White Temple. There will be two stories and full basement.
There will be a large gynasium with handball and basketball court, etc. An assembly hall will seat 1000 and there will be a large kitchen and dining room.
A feature will be a number of Sunday school class rooms which are badly needed since the growth of that department to an enrollment of more than 1000 has necessitated more commodious quarters.
A director of education and recreation will be employed beginning Oct. 1. The board has made overtures to a good man for the position and it is expected he will accept the offer.
The church has been considering such a move for some time but in view of the completion of the $100,000 White Temple only two years ago, there had been some slight hesitation about proceeding with additional undertaking. However, when it was broached in the official board meeting this week it was unanimously endorsed. The lot was purchased next day and the architect started on the plans.
Charles Eygabroad has been named chairman of the finance committee which will raise the $50,000. The building committee is composed of George M Tedrick, Perry Mathis, W. S. Price, George Allen and F. T. Edmiston.
During the coming winter there will be a ten weeks' educational institute in the new assembly while also during the year there will be an instruction and entertaining series of literary and musical programs.
