No Other Report in the Matter
Was Possible
A QUESTION OF VERACITY
What the Investigating Committee Says
About Howard and Kingery
The Official Findings In the Inquiry Made
PubIlc-Investigatlons for All Of
This Week

The special committee OF the city coun-
Gil to whom was referred the charges that
Superintendent of Streets P. A. Howard
had offered Councilman s. A. Kingery
the sum of 5000 to vote for the purchase
of a certain school site, Tiled It's report
yesterday. and. as foretold in these col
umns, the matter is left in a position of
not having been either proven or dis
proved. The rerort, which is signed by
Councilmen Stockwell, Snyder and
Blanchard, is in full as follows:
To the Honorable Council of the City of
Los Angeles:
Gentlemen our special committee,
appointed at the request of the street SUI
peiintendent. to investigate certain
charges made against him in regard to
offering a member of the council money
the purchase of certain lots offered by one
Miles Dodd. respectfully report that on
Friday, July 5th, they held an investiga-
tion at which all of the witnesses desired
by either the councilman from the Fourth
ward or the street superintendent were
present Eand examined, and report of
the testimony there given is attached to
this respect.
The substance of the testimony given
by Mr.. Kingery was that on June 22d Mr..
Howard appeared at his residence, and,
after discussing the question OF street
sweeping, offered him a consideration of
5000 if he would secure the purchase of
the lots offered by Miles Dodd.
Mr.. Howard. while stating that he was
at Mr.. Kingery's residence at the time
designated. stated that he had had no
conversation at that or any other time
with Mr.. Kingery in reference to the pur-
chase of those or any other lots for school
purposes, and that he had never offered
llhim any consideration to induce him to
secure the purchase OF those lots. There
/ was no testimony offered confirming the
| testimony of either of these principal
witnesses, and the matter resolves itself
| into a question of veracity between the
| councilman from the Fourth ward and
| the street superintendent, which your
committee is unable to decide.
The members of the com mittee say that
no other report but the one above could
have been, under the circumstances, sub
| be allowed to drop, if the semi official
statements made yesterday about the city
| hall are to be believed.
One councilman said: "Lcts of serious
charges are being constantly made agalnst
the superintendent of streets, and m..
opinion is that some committee Of tn.
council will be in session through the
whole of the week investigating some o.
the more important allegations which
have been and are being made
The members of the supply committee.
which has been investigating the pur.
chases of asphaltum for use in the street

Thu Startling Experience OF Montana
Man. Who Still Survives tho Shock.
Charles B. Hoffman, of Butte, Mont,
was standing at the mouth of n mine
not long ago when he was struck by
lightning. The thunderbolt, he thinks,
first STRUCK the straw hat he was wear
ing and it tore hole in the hat that
cut part Of the rim. Then it tore his
clothing into shrcds and left him
naked Both his ovcralls and the shirt
he was wearing presented the appear
ance of having passed through sau-
sage mill. Nobody can tell him why
he was not killed by the lightning.
The bolt, he says, after passing through
his hat, struck him on the shoulder and
ran the full length of his body, burn
ing the skin to n crisp on the side and
legs. 1t also cut his left foot on the
side and bottom, breaking the bones of
the foot.
My clothes were torn to pieces and
thrown from my body said Mr.. IIoff-
man to writer for the New York

LIE became unconscious as soon as he
was struck by the lightning and did
not revive for an hour and a half
When he regained his senses Hoffman
was III great pain and he was confined
to the hospital for nine weeks When
uofman's clothing was examined after
the accident it was seen that in many
places the lightning had cut the cloth
as neatly as if it had been done with a
razor. Some of the cuts were long and
straight. The lightning took his
clothes off quicker, than he could have
undrcsscd himself, and it threw them
In pile on one side of the track, with
his shoes carefully deposited beside the
pile. The clothes seemed to have been
neatly folded until they were exam
lned and found to be pile of rags

him without the formality of pulling
them over his feet. This seemingly i'm
possible task was accomplished by
the lightning first cutting each leg
open, and then it appeared to have talk
en- them by the seat and dropped them
on the coat, and to finish the lob bv
depositing Mr.. Hotfman's straw hat on
top of all. After il got through with
Hoffman this remarkable streak of
lightning ran along metal track into
the Glengary mine, at the mouth Of
which he had been working, ran to the
end of the shaft, which is four hundred
feet below the surfacc.of the ground.
and then it ran along n cross cut" two
hundred feet where 1T branchcd off and
for sixty feet followed "winzc."
There were several men at work at this
polnt,and all were moro or less stunned.
