WAS SHE MURDEREDp
A Mystery Surrounds the Drowning
of a Woman at Santa Monica


Was there a murder committed at
Santa Monica last Sunday? This ques-
ton has presented itself to the coroner
and sheriff's officers. Thursday after
noon the body of a woman was washed
ashore. 1t was found by a fisherman
named Sherwood. The woman appeared
to be about 25 years old. She'was dressed
in a light shirt waist, black skirt and
black shoes. Half of return ticket
from Los Angeles to Santa Monica over
the electric line. dated Oct. Sd, was
found in her pocket. The body was re-
moved to Guidinger's undertaking par
lors, where the coroner held an inquest
yesterday. The post mortem examina-
tion showed a blackened' condition of
the woman's face about the eyes. This
might have resulted from the length of
time that the body was in the water,
but it seems more than probable that
the darkening of the flesh was due to
blow. If this is the case, thewoman was
probably murdered by being knocked off
the wharf.
One witness at the inquest, a man
named Berry, who keeps fruit stand
at Santa Monica, identified the woman
positively and Swore to having seen
her last Sunday. At that time she was
strolling about the beach in company
with a young man whom the witness
was confident he could identify II he
should see him again. The witness was
the only person who could be founo
that had ever seen the woman. The cor
oner's jury returned verdict that the
woman came to her death from drown
ing in the Pacific ocean.
Yesterday Mrs. Goff of this city found
gold watch on the beach, which had
been washed ashore by the waves. 1t is
thought that the watch belonged to the
drowned woman.

SIR KNIGHTS SCATTER
Mountain, Valley and Sea-Masonic
Temple and Theater

The visiting Knights Templar and
their ladies scattered over the country
yesterday, some going to Santa Monica,
others to Echo mountaia and Alpine
tavern and the rest making the trip
around the kite-shaped track. The lat
ter excursion proved the most inviting
to far the greater number, and over 200
left early in the morning, lunched at
Riverside and were driven about; then,
making the trip about the loop in the
cars, they reached the city little after
six.
In the evening there was another scat
tering of forces but not in just the same
way. The Daughters of Isis entertained
the visiting ladies' at the Los Angeles
theater; and the gallant knights were
the guests of the Mystic Shriners at
Masonic Temple. More than this may
not be known. The Shriners are appro-
priately named, and what transpires
within the charmed walls Of their tenn
pie is not for the profane eye, nor yet
the secular ear of the vulgar herd.
1t is one of those things no fellow can
find out, because the oaths pledge the
members to secrecy. 1t was rumored on
the streets yesterday that after the
members and guests were safely inside
last night the doors of the temple wera
10 be barricaded and patrol stationed
on the street outside.
Whether or not that precaution was to
keep intruders out, or those inside there,
did not transpire, but an anticipatory
igleam in the eyes of certain Sir Knights
who, Invested of plumeS and other re-
gala, were going forth from the Van
Nuys in evening dress, was suggestive
that they apprehended naught but joy,
holy JOY of course, but only that. This
much is certain, that sixty knights were
initiated into the mysticisms of the
Shrine last night-M H. Flint and fifty
nine others.
There is nothing definite known about
who the rest were, but it is understood
that the postoffice inspector, who is
nothing if not dauntless, likewise versa
tile, spent yesterday morning practicins
a sawhorse and the afternoon on buck
ing bronco in a sandy part of the river
bed preparatory to the goat ordeal he
expected in, the evening. But there
is nothing SO unexpected as goat, and
even if all the rest of the novitiates took
the same precaution, the chances are
that there was no lack of chaste enjoy
merit on the part of the spectators who,
having been there before, could appre-
ciate to the full the spectacle before
them.
This morning the visiting command
cries and ladies leave al o'clock for Cat
alma, where they will remain over night,
returning tomorrow morning. After
that they will go north, as business or
inclination takes them.

JUDGE IN A DILEMMA.
Supreme Court Differs with Judge
Bailey in the Contempt
Case.

Madison, Wis, April 10.-[Special. !
Judge Bailey of Eau Claire will either
have to vacate his order committing At
torney Doolittle and Editor Ashbaugh to
jail for contempt of court, or make imme-
diate return to the Supreme court to show
cause why the permanent writ Of prohi-
bition restraining him from carrying out
that order shall not be made permanent.
This is the effect of the Supreme courts
decision III the case, announced today.
When the court convened at 10 O'Clock
this morning, Chief Justice Cassoday
stated that owing to the brief time avail
able the court would not undertake to
state its reasons, but give it's conclusions
merely. 1t held that there was no con-
tempt within the meaning of the statutes
and the motion to quash the writ of pro
hibitiOn made yesterday was denied and
the statute held to be valid.
A return to the writ was ordered to
be made at once and made fully SO as to
cover the second offense of contempt
charged on which a second order of COM
nitment to Jail was made, which order
the sheriff has not carried out. The
court said the sherif's return would be
disposed Of later
Attorney 7. +. Frawlcy, who appeared
for Judge Bailey, desired the whole mat
ter disposed of at once if possible de
said that while he could not speak au-
thOrtatively il was probable that in view
of the Supreme court decision Judge
Bailey would probably now vacate his
orders of contempt. Chief Justice Cas-
soday said that was d matter in which
the court would not dictate, but if it was
done the return could be made to that
effect

A Wise Architect.

When Sir Christopher Wren was
building the town hall of Windsor, a
idgety member of the corporation-so
the story goes-insisted that the roof re-
quired further support, and desired the
architect to add more pillars. In vain
did Sir Christopher assure him that the
danger was imaginary; he knew better.
The alarm spread, and the great archi-
tect was worried into adding the desired
columns.
Years passed, and in later times,
when architect and patrons were dead,
cleaning operations III the roof re-
vealed the fact that the supposed addi-
tional supports did not touch the roof
by two inches, though this was not per-
ceptible to the gazer below.
BY this ingenious expedient did Wren
pacify his critics, while indicating his
own architectural skill to future gen
erations.-Y Companion.

YOUNG VILLAGES FATE.
Student at Delafield, Wis.,, Murdered
While in Chicago on His
Vacation.

Chicago, Ill, April 9.-The mystery
connected with the disappearance in No
vember last Of young Arthur L. Wallace,
son of Rev. t. D. Wallace of the Eighth
Presbyterian church, has been partially
cleared up. The body of young man
found in the river near the Madison
street bridge was identified by Rev. L.
D. Wallace as that of his son. When the
body was found the Overcoat and watch
were gone and from a fracture of the
skull and other indications it is supposed
that Young Wallace was Waylaid, muir
dered and thrown into the river.
Arthur 7. Wallace, the dead youth,
was 16 years of age. For something like
a year he had been a student in the mill
tary school at Delafeld Wis, where he
had won several medals, and before that
he had attended the public schools in

LEGAL DEFINITION OF "SWIPE."

iowa Supreme Court Decides that it
Means to Steal.
''Swipe" has been passed on by the
Iowa Supreme court. The word came up
in the case of the state VS.. Robert Lee
appellant, Of Polk district. Somebody
said "swipe'' in the lower courts and it
became an issue. So the grave. digni-
fed and august higher bench had to
take official notice of it and incidentally
to pass upon its meaning. In affirming
the case the court decided that 'sWipe"
means ''to steal" and cited the diction-
airy as its authority.
