WOMAN SUFFRAGE
State Realty Federation Courte
ously Files but Does Not
Adopt Resolution
OAKLAND, Aug. 13.— Woman's suf
frage received a blow at the conven
tion of the State realty federation to
day, when a resolution favoring an
amendment to the state constitution
was speedily sidetracked.
In response to a request from the
•uffragre amendment league of Oakland
<the committee on resolutions reported
a- resolution favoring- equal suffrage.
Delegate Lowe of Long Beach moved
the adoption of the resolution', but
Frank Cutting of Stockton offered as
an amendment that the resolution be
received and filed.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
the secretary to issue a bulletin quar
terly, as was also a resolution to sub
mit an amendment to the constitution
providing for the reduction of dues
payable by local organizations to $3
annually per member. Provision was
also made for the recall of the execu
tive secretary in 'the event of his act
ing: in a manner detrimental to .the
Interests of the federation,
ASSOCIATION" ACTIVE
When the reports of local organiza
tions were called for, Hubert Bryant,
president of the Oakland real estate
association, told of the aggressive
work of his organization during the
last year, explaining that it had taken
en active part in the development of
the Oakland harbor and water front-
He said further that the body had
worked with the Oakland chamber of
commerce and the Downtown associa
tion of San Francisco In the formation
of a Bay Counties association, whose
object will be to bring the many and
last growing industries of the cities
around the bay into closer and more
harmonious relationship. »-.a
President S.B. Leas of the Fresno
real estate board told of the reorgan
ization of the Fresno board and how
the members met weekly at luncheons
and made frequent visits to cities and
towns in the vicinity of Fresno.
POPULATION PROPHECY
W. M. Garland of Los Angeles made
.an interesting address on "Population
Prophecy .and Downtown Vahies." He
first lamented the fact that the San
Francisco papers did not pay more at
tention to happenings in Los Angeles.
He explained how he had come to
prophesy that the population of Lcfs
Angeles in 1910 would be 350,000. In
part he said:
We are no more justified in propbesyiag won
derful things for Los Angeles and southern Cali
fornia than y«'U la central and northern Cali
fornia are Justified In believing that the future
has equally wonderful things in store for you,
»nd when we do prophesy and advertise our,
prophecies, we* do go as real estate men and good
citizens, believing in our position, and. no matter
what portion of California we may hail from, we.
endeavor to practice what we preach.
Give me the newest or the oldest real estate
men and I will show you one who yearns to o^ra
property or more property in the community
which he has chosen for his home or for the pur*
euit of his business. I bold this belief — he who
prophesies and believes great and good things ;
for ci» own city or country is also asing his best
endeavors to inoculate his fellow citizens and
all desirable citizens elsewhere with the same
feeling of interest and confidence which he en
joys.
And let me gay here that no one of you gen
tlemen engaged in tbe honorable profession of
celling realty — whether rity or poantry prop
erty—can boom his own city or country without
f '.r.jrn.K the praise of the balance of this wonder
ful Etate.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
We in California can today boast probably the
finest electric railway systems In tbe world, and
they ere constantly bringing hitherto remote
portions of the cities and counties within most
easy access of the business centers, thereby aid-
Ing materially In a vast expansion of our. resi
dence districts, and with this wonderful Increase
in population comes also a corresponding expan
sion of our hitherto contracted and sometimes
congested retail districts, us wider and more
centrally located business streets, accompanied
by class A, fireproof buildings are introduced,
modern In every respect as regards light snd
conveniences necessary for the conduct of each
business, new and larger first class retail dis
tricts appear. Large rents are paid for such ac
commodations and the old. dilapidated quarters
abandoned to an Indifferent business world.
LACK OF PUBLIC SPIIUT
I believe where a section of the business por
tion of the city Is Infetted by owners absolutely
lacking In public spirit and a desire to do their
pert toward the development of the business dis
trict of which they are a part that. the visita
tion of a fire" wiping their property off the face
cf the earth is a godsend to tbe commmiity.
Ban Francisco has already and will In years to
come reap great benefit from lier great conflagra
tion, which perhaps 6he does not now realize.
Downtown values of a large, busy city are al
ways deservedly great, and we have many 111ns
tra'tions in ocr city, as you have In other rapidly
building cities of- -California, where property has
doubled, trebled and quadrupled during the last
tlx or seven years.
KXOCKIXG THE KXOCKER
Garland was followed by "W. R. Noble
of Sacramento, who made a short ttut
Interesting talk on the subject,
"Knocking Knocks Profits — Boosting
Boosts Profits." He thought every
dealer should have, his heart in his own
4district, but that he should. not make
etatements derogatory to other parts
of the state.
At the conclusion of the morning ses
sion «100 members of the convention
\u25a0were taken on a trip, aroud. the. bay*.
Luncheon was served on board and the
visitors were given an excellent idea
of the commercial importance of San
Francisco bay and the cities bordering
on the water. '
When the return was made to Oak
land shortly before 4 o'clock a recep
tion was given by the Sacramento re*l
estate men at their headquarters in
the Key Route Inn. The capital rtty
delegation has established a record
\u25a0with its hospitality and good felow-.

PRISONER CARRIES
OUT SUICIDE PACT
August Coussens, Cellmate of
--Mark Manchester; Hangs *
Himself in Jail
OAKLAND, Aug. 13. — Having heard"
of the suicide bf Mark Manchester, his
former ' cellmate, .. August. ,Coussens,"
Awaiting 1 trial on a murder, charge;" in
the county jail,' spoke approvingly of
Mahchester'3 act, asked for a hearty
supper and was found dead this'morn
ing, having hanged himself by. a ban
dage to the grating.
Evidence that a suicide^- pact existed
between. the two men was reported to
day by Jailer White. Manchester, who
was an art connoisseur, made a strong
impression on Coussens during their
confinement in the same cell. It :was
generally known that Manchester had
been on the verge of a break down
since his arrest, charged with improper
conduct before twoboys. Jailer White
holds that Manchester; planned to kill
himself as soon as released on. bail and
that he took Coussens into his confi
dence and that a suicide pact was
formed which was strictly adhered to.
Manchester, asphyxiated himself and
was found Thursday morning.
Coussens left his wife after they had
opened a small restaurant in Washing
ton street. She continued; the business
alone and employed Harry Shattuck as
cook. Coussens returned to the place
and laid in wait for ; Shattuck behind
the lunch counfer. , He fired a' revolver
bullet as Shattuck unlocked the- door
and Shattuck died within a few days,
having been shot through the body. _.'
Coussens appeared mentally unbal
anced and created a . disturbance in
Judge Harris* court when arraigned.
Attorney B. J. Wymari had arranged
for.- the entry of a plea of not guilty,
but Coussens , shouted that he was
guilty, and wanted to plead guilty and
take sentence at once. \u0084
News of the suicide of Manchester
was. carried Intoj the corridor by a
trusty late Thursday evening. ."There
was nothing else for him to do," said
Coussens.. "He could never face that
disgrace.'!.
During the night Coussens carefully
unwound a long surgical bandage
placed about his, knee to relieve rheu
matic pains, • attached the bandage to
the grating about seven: feet above
the floor, and knotting the end tightly
about his throat, stepped off his bunk.
His feet were suspended about six
inches above the floor and his body was
cold, showing that he had been dead
uriore than two hours when found.
Manchester to Be Cremated
BERKELEY, Aug v l3— The coroner's
inquest over Mark Manchester, the
Berkeley art critic who committed sui
cide Wednesday evening, will be held
Sunday , morning at the Berkeley
morgue by Deputy Coroner Edward
Niehaus. The funeral services will be
held tomorrow afternoon from the Jami
son & Niehaus chapel. Only relatives
and close friends will attend the serv
ices. Rev. E. L. Parsons, rector of St
Mark's Episcopal church, will conduct
the, ceremony and the body will be cre
mated in Oakland. - > ,
DAUGHTER OF RANCHER
BURIED AS A' PAUPER
No One Claimed the Body of
Ella Pringle
OAKLAND/ Aug. 13.T-Chief of Police
\vilson has received a letter from
John Dunn of 1532 East Fourteenth
street, Los Angeles, announcing that
Miss Ella Pringle, who died here amid
peculiar circumstances and whose body
was burled in the potter's field last
Saturday, was a daughter of James
Pringle of Standish postoffice, Lassen
county, California.
Dunn says that Pringle is in com
fortable circumstances and would have
been amply able to bear the expense
of his daughter's funeral had he known
of her death. George Pringle, a
brother of the dead woman, also lives
near Standish postoffice, according- to
Dunn.
Miss Pringle was found in a dying
condition in a lodging house at 829
Washington street the evening of
August, 2. At the receiving hospital
her case was diagnosed as one of poi
soning, and she was treated accord
ingly. After, her death, however , an
autopsy revealed the fact that she had
succumbed to a cerebral : hemorrhage
Several elements of mystery in con
nection with t her death led the police
to make an .Investigation, which was
finally dropped.

It represeats my chances* for happiness
