CARRYING THE INJURED TO THE HOSPITALS.
manity had been destroyed. Faces were driven
in. Faces we're pounded into Q jelly. Arms
and legs were broken as one would
break match stcm. There is gruesome work
for the coroner Of the District. There il
shame and remorse on the souls Of some men
who were responsible for the state Of things
that confined men who we're working for their
daily bread in building that every one in the
city of Washington knew was Unsafe.
The building that fell was commonly known
as the old Ford's Thester. Twenty-elght years
ago there was another tragedy within the walls of
that same building. The news Of it was flashed
to the four quarters of the earth and it brought
CONSERVATION wherever it went The man who
was killed was the President Of the United
States.
As though the building had borne curse upon
it from that time it ended it's career in a it
ting manner But how much better it would
have been if the government had removed that
structure years ago.
Today the news Of another horrible catas-
trophe has gone across the wires, and this his
toric building. baptized in the blood Of the
chief magistrate Of the land, was noble scene,
"a fit theater in which to play this horrid trag-
edy.s
SEVENTEEN DEAD BODIES AT NOON.
By noon, two hours after the falling Of the
walls. the bodies Of seventeen dead men had
been removed from the ruins.
In the basement of the building there is still
piled up debris by the hundreds of TONS No
man can say how many bodies still lie beneath
that ugly mass. Others who we're taken out
alive are certain to die from their injuries. It
will be days before the extent Of the casualty is
known.
1t was an accident the like Of which has
never been known in this fair capital before.
Some years ago the tower Of a church
fell to the earth. It was in the early morn
ing and no one was hurt. The floors Of q
hotel fell in, but the result Of that were
were blown over by terrible wind. but the
dead were few as compared to the dead Of to-
day. An accident that numbers its dead by
the dozen and its injured by the score is one
that goes down to history. Will it 60 as blot
on the fair name of the capital or will il be
shown that the sin lies at the door of the fed
eral government?
SEARCHING THE RUINS.
All day long the fremen, the policemen, the
letter carriers and soldiers did noble duty in
their work of searching the ruins for the dead.

GOOD NEWS FOR oRcaARDIsTs.

Some good news for orchsrdists is
given elsewhere in an interview with
Professor Koebele and Quarantine OH
cer Craw of the state board of horticul-
ture. Their statements show that Pro.
fessor Koebele, the discoverer of the
charming vedalia cardinals, which has
virtually exterminated the white scale,
has added to his fame by bringing here
from Australia predacious insects which
will do with the red and black scale what
the vedalia did with the white.
This should silence the gang who have
been attacking Professor Koebele's work
and forcing upon orchardists the use of
the expensive fumigatory schemes.
With the terror of the whits, red and
black scales removed, Southern Cali
fornia orchardists can anticipate re.
turn of the wonderful prosperity that
used to reward their efforts. That this
condition is due to Professor Koebele
and the state board of horticulture
should be gratefully remembered.

BOTANICAL GARDEN.

ElysiRn Park.

The Project Proposed tn Be Located in
Elysisn Park.
An enthusiastic meeting OF horticul-
tursts was held in the eucalyptus grove
in Elysian park yesterday afternoon, for
the purpose of discussing the feasibility
of establishing q botanic garden
therein. The following gentlemen, mem
bers of the Southern California Horti-
cultural society, and guests, were pres
ent: Hancock Banning, John Shoe
maker. Harrington Brown, Horticul-
tural Commissioner John Scott, VIM. s.
Lyon, George Marygold. Walter s.
Moore, H. Jevne, Sutherland Hutton,
L. G. Cobbe, j. @. Harvey, Thomas
Beatty, DR.. Franceschi, II. Kruckeberg,
DR.. McGowan, Harry Patton and others.
After enjoying bountiful luncheon,
the aims and purposes OF the Horticul'
tural society were discussed. W. s. Lyon,
in happy vein, introduced Mr.. b.
Jevne. Speaking for the commercial
aspect of horticulture, the gentleman
fully endorsed the society, commencing
it's efforts as worthy of the support OF all
business men, characterizing botanic
garden as one of the most legitimate
projects of advancing the interests OF
buln noCtlOus 80.
Hancock Banning, in few brief re-
marks, reverted TO the beauty and at
trsctiveness of the botanic gardens OF
Sydney, N. s. W., and could not see the
reason why we should not excel them.
J. G. Harvey, speaking for the horti-
cultural society. set forth its object and
sought to inspire public interest in the
development OF botanic garden, the
advantages to be derived from it as a
public educator and a means OF technical
instruction, both in economic and orna-
mental horticulture. DR.. Franceechi,
an eminent botanist, recently arrived
from the Riviera of Southern Europe,
was very enthusiastic over the climate
aud possibilities of Southern California.
The gentleman had travelled much and
seen the great botanic gardens of the
world, and was forced to the conclusion
that technic garden established in
Elysian park would rival the famous
gardens at Kew. st
A number of other gentlemen ex-
pressed enthusiastic views regarding the
project, and at the conclusion the mem.
bership of the horticultural society was
largely increased.

MORE ABOUT THE BENTLEY CASE,
Detective Lawson Digs Up More
Evidence.
Matters Which Would Seem to Augur
q New Trial.
Bentley Courtsd San Francisco woman
After He Was Married and 1t IL
Alleged Got Her 20 Buy
strychnins for Him.

The Bentley murder case ID not to be
allowed to drop at once. for Detective
Lawson, who had charge Of the work
for the prosecution In the trial, has
kept at work and has unearthed guam
tity OF new evidence, which makes the
outlook for another prosecution Of the
alleged wife poisoner very promising.
Detective Lawson discovered that
while Bentley was married to Mrs.
Nordholt he inserted matrimonial ad-
vertisement in San Francisco paper,
and among other answers received q
letter from seamstress or dressmaker
there.
At Bentley's suggestion the woman
came to Los Angeles, and was assidously
courted by Bentley. He would drive
her about the city, and acted towards
her in very devoted manner.
In his report the detective asserts that
this woman, in the presence of several
witnesses, stated that she had pur-
chased for Bentley bottle OF strychnine
at we'll known druggists, but that she
did not know, OF course, for what pur-
POc0 n0 WuhtCu shO RSA1oHs
This woman 10 now in Southern
California, and has kept in retirement
duringothe proceedings, evidently dis
liking the idea OF being called upon to
give any evidence in the trial.
She did not know that Bentley was
married until after her arrival in Los
Angeles, and at once broke off all ac-
uuaintance with him when che discov-
cred that he had been deceiving her as
to bis status in life.
The report goes into many details as
to the testimony in the former trial and
that which has since been discovered. |.
and recites a very suggestive CONVERSE
tion that Bentley had with Nacho
Bilderrain in the Reception one day
regarding his motives for marrying Mrs.
Nordholdt and the expectation be had
of getting rid of her soon.
In fact, were it not for Distict Attorney
Dillon's remarkable utterance regarding
the cessation OF hostilities between "the
houses of Nordholt and Bentley" the
report would seem to render new trial
advisable.
The matter has been under eonsidera-
tion by the grand jury, and it is possible
that that body will take action on it
soon.

The city board of equalization has got
through with it's labors and the result is
reduction of $97, 900. The assessment
stands at a couple of million dollars
more than it was last year, and around
the city hall the idea is that the rate for
the city will be about $l.25, as against
$l.10 last year. This would seem to be an
unwarrantable increase. One would ex-
pect that the increased assessment
would result in diminution of the rate.
