J. w. Warren, superintendent Of the

interesting address. The lecture, which
was free to all men. was the third Of
the series inaugurated by the Forward
Movement club. The subject of Mr.
Warren's discourse was The lllumina-
ton Of a City by Electricity. The lee
turer traced the old methods OF lightlng
from early days. giving BRIEF history
Of the oil lamps and lanterns and torches

known as the Argand lamp was great
step Of improvement, being the first
introduction of atmosphere and the
flame in a glass cylinder. The various
steps of improvement were reviewed by
the lecturer until the introduction OF
gas by Mr.. Murdoch in England in
1901 proved of greatest advantage in
lighting cities and wrought changes in
domestic concerns. The development of
the arc light was next considered. intro
duced for the first time in 1910 by Sir
Humphrey Davey, at the Royal insti
tute, burning two carbon points. This,
however, was merely laboratory ex
pertinent as the cost OF maintaining
electric currents by primary batteries
was so excessive. The arc light lay
dormant till DIR. Michael Farraday in
1881, evolved the principle of the mag
neto-electric indication. The discovery
of this principle gave the means of Gre
ating and maintaining powerful cur
rent at a comparatively moderate cost.

Davey's carbon points. From that time
the great scientists of the world were
active in their experiments with the
magnetic machine and the carbon points.
Various devices were then invented for
the feeding of the carbon points. 1t was
not. however, till 1882 that the evolution
of the present perfected lamp was at
tanned. Mr.. Warren then gave an in
teresting description of the methods of
wiring up and connecting the lamps
around the city, also giving an illus

Arson Van Leuven was one of the early
Settlers OF the valley, and for many years
one of its prominent figures. He WAS born
in Canada in 1899, and was at the time of
his death in his siXty-seventh year. He
came to California in 1853, settling at Old
San Bernardino, and for forty-three years
il hsa been his horne.
In 1853 he was elected sheriff of the coun-
ty, serving through lSG0-Gl, and represented
this county in the assembly of 1S63-64.
Since that time he has not been in public
life but has continued to be an influential
citizen of the county, and particularly of
the Mission.
About 1888 he was married TO Miss Eliza
beth Robinson, who survives him. He
leaves three sons: Myron Franklin Van
LeuVen, Arson Byron Van Leuven and
William Henry Van Leuven, and a daugh-
ter. Maude Van Leuven.
The deceased was the first to expert

orchards at Old San Bernardino contain
the Oldest orange trees in the county.

SOUTH PASADENA

SOUTH PASADENA, May es-The
growth OF this community in the past
twelve months is indicated by the fact that
the attendance of children in our schools
is thirty more than ever before. 1t is un-
fortunate, however. that about half OF
them are now kept out Of school with the
measles. None are dangerously sick.
The only case of serious sickness here
now is that of Mr.. Bennett, who has been
suffering for some time.
The question is being discussed by own
ers of homes. since the destruction of Mr..
Burrows house by fire. who is responsible
for the loss of property by reason of lack
of water at the time-the water company
that has cut off the supply while making
repairs, the party who is using all the
water for irrigation or the insurance COM
pany? Does the latter take all the risks.

suggests the desirability of having every
family keep a reserve OF barrel of water
stored up for such an emergency as fire.

from Newport wharf late this morning.
1t was q horrible murder, the mans
head being literally chopped to pieces
with Ratchet, his throat cut and body
gashed with razor or knife, one finger
being cut off. Sheriff Nichols was tele-
phoned for at $50. and with Deputy
Franklin was promptly on the ground.
They have just returned and although
the sheriff refuses to say anything about

suspicion. Coroner Clark Is holding an
inquest on the ground. which Is about

1t is believed that the motive of the
crime was that of insane jealousy. 1t is
now quite certain that there is a woman
in the case and from present indications
1t has been on her account that the ter
rible crime was committed. Julian's
body was examined here tonight at the
undertaken sand shows thirty-one cuts.
His head is split open. crushed and al
most severed from the body, the razor
cutting almost entirely around the
neck. The arteries in both wrists were
severed. three fingers split open, two
more chopped off and the arms and
breast horribly mutilated. Indignation
is running high, and If Saccohcia the
man Sheriff Nichols now has arrested,
proves to be the criminal. he may adorn
the end of hemp rope before the rising
of another sun.
