CHANGED CLOTHES
AND THEN THE BETTER DRESSED
MAN GOT A VALISE
Which Belonged to His Companion,
Because the Express Company
Didn't Know Him

e. o. Arnold was arrested In Pasadena
yesterday by Marshal Lacey and held
for Detective Goodman, who brought
him to this city last evening. The pris-
oner has been charged with smuggling
stolen goods into this country from Mex
mitted in Mexico, will probably be placed
against him.
About two months ago Arnold and
Leslie Laing of this city went to the City
of Mexico in search Of work, but were
unsuccessful In their mission. Arnold
asked Laing one day to exchange cloth
ing with him for few hours, as his own
were very shabby and he wanted to
make creditable appearance where he
was about to apply for work.
The exchange was made. Dressed In
his friends garments, Arnold called at
Wells-Fargos express office and got out
his companions grip, signing a receipt
with Laing's name. The contents of the
grip were valued at about $40.
Arnold then disappeared. The follow
ing day Laing called in his shabby
clothes at the express Office, to learn
that his name had been forged to re-
ceipt and that his grip had departed
with his better-dressed companion.
The express company notified the au-
thorities throughout the country to be
on the lookout for Arnold. A few days
ago Detective Goodman located the cul-
prit in Pasadena and requested Marshal
Lacey to place him under arrest. Mean
while Laing has also returned from Mex
leo.
Part Of the stolen property was recov-
cred, and 1t is for bringing this across
the Mexican line that the first charge
was filed. It is stated that a charge of
forgery will be placed against Arnold
in Mexico and that extradition papers
will be issued for his return there for
trial.
Arnold lives in Pasadena, and has been
in trouble before. but the matter was
successfully hushed up.

POLICE BUSINESS
Routine Matters Considered by the
Commissioners

Commissioners
Yesterdays session of the police COM
mission was very brief and only routine
matters came up for consideration. The
subject of most Importance to the de-
rartment on which action was taken was
the motion adopted the day before by
the city council calling on the chief to
countermand his order by which the po-
licemen are worked for more than eight
hours per day. The matter was not dis
cussed by the board but was referred to
the chief and city attorney.
Attorney Gould appeared before the
board in the. interests Of H. c. Needham,
who resides at S15 Angelina street. who
filed a petition for permission to carry
weapon concealed. The attorney
stated that Needham worked until late
every night and that there had been sew
eral attempts to rob his house. His dog
had been poisoned and nearly all Of his
chickens were stolen. The board grant
ed him the permission desired and he
may now arm himself as he pleases.
In regard to the petition from the resi-
dents of the vicinity Of the Highland
Park kennels. Sergt McKeag reported
that he had examined the premises and
found that ten dogs are kept there. Tho
people did not complain so much of the
noise made by these animals as they did
of the stencil, although every effort was
made to keep the premises clean. He
further stated that the kennels were
soon to be moved. For that reason the
report was filed and the board
will take no action for the present.
The request of Gen. c. F. A. Last for
permission to establish pistol range
for the members Of the National Guard
OF California in the rear Of Wannack
park was referred to the chief with
power to act.
Joseph Garrison, foreman at East Side
park, was appointed special policeman
on the recommendation OF the board of
park commissioners He will serve in
that capacity in that park. James T.
Barber was also appointed special po-
liceman. He is an enlploye Of the Union
Lime company.

DoWNEY AVENUE REsURFACINa
Protest Filed Which Kills the I'M
provement Of That Street

The proposition to resurface DoWney
avenue has been killed by protest. The
ordinance Of intention for the work was
adopted by the city council several
weeks ago, and 1t was thought that the
matter would take its regular course
and that the east side would get as fine
q street as there Is in the city. Soon
after the passage Of the ordinance,
however, opposition to the matter began
to develop. 1t was learned that num-
Der Of the property owners had signed
the petition with the understanding that
that avenue was to be part of the bou-
levard between this city and Pasadena.
When those Of the signers who had af-
fixed their names to the petition with
this understanding learned that the av-
enue was not to be a part Of the boule-
ward proper they began to fight the mat
ter. The result was that one of the
largest protests that has been filed in
the clerks Office for several months was
brought there yesterday by number Of
those opposed to the Improvement.
The protest recites that "the under
signed are opposed to the proposed work
on the grounds that 1t is not necessary
or advisable at this time" Then follows
a long list of names Of property owners
with their frontage set opposite. The
total frontage represented Is 1898 feet.
This is more than a majority, and If
there are no Irregularities in the pro-
test, such as duplicate signatures or
signatures by persons who had not the
authority to sign for certain property.
the protest ends the matter. for q time
at least.

BLACK LUNGS IN PITTSBURG
Popularity That Comes From Breath
ing the Air Of the Smoky City

There Is one popularity that may be-
tray the inhabitants of Pittsburg any
where, but after death only.
The visitor to this city who has envied
and admired the deftness with which the
confirmed resident, spying out Of the cor
ner of his eye the descent Of a particle of
SCOT upon his face, arranges his lips and
directs puff Of breath at the spot, dis
lodges the black atom-such a visitor
would hardly think that that same pos
already marked for life by the smoke
that fills the air. And yet it Is fact
that Pittsburg people have black lungs,
discolored by the constant inhaling of
smoke from the tons Of bituminous coal
burned here.
It is not known whether the breathing
apparatus Of the inhabitants of the
great manufacturing districts Of Eng
land Is affected in color by the presence
of soft coal smoke in the atmosphere,
but it is the experience of physicians
who perform the autopsies at the morgue
here that Pittsburg coal combustion
makes the lungs of the citizens black.
The word "black" is used in a relative
sense; lungs of Pittsburg people are
certainly not so black as the coal which
discolors them, but they actually seem
black when compared with the red
hued lungs of countrymen or residents
Of other cities. Opportunities for this
comparison are furnished almost daily
at the morgue. In the case Of an un-
known man the physicians and attend
ants at the morgue can tell with preci-
sion whether the body is that of Pitts
burg man in cases where evidence of
some special occupation do not inter-
fere. For example, the lungs of coal
miners from any of the soft coal districts
all look alike, but in such cases the To-
cal experts easily distinguish between
discoloration from coal smoke and that
from coal dust.
DR.. j. Guy McCandless, for many years
physician Of the bureau Of health, told
the writer that the whole lung tissue
becomes permeated by the coal smoke.
It does not seem to affect the texture Of
the tissue nor to interfere with the free
workings Of the organ.-New York Sun.
