AVALON, Catalina Island, September l.
H. Russell Burner, M. D.. LIZ d., is trying
to add few more letters TO the tail end
OF his name. He is at the present moment
engaged in perusing law books as deeply
as his massive brain will allow such thing
to take hold The why and wherefore of
this new pursuit all lies In an encounter
that he had with the Times correspondent
here yesterday afternoon. 1t seems that
the correspondent was sitting on the
Metropole porch and the M. D., LII. d.
come up on the steps and seeing Mr..
Heiss of Pasadena standing there, asked
him il he knew the Times correspondent.
When Mr.. Heiss replied that he did, Bur-
ner asked to be introduced. Mr.. Heiss
thinking that the man might have some
news for the paper. performed the cour-
tesy AS soon as Burner was introduced
he at once opened the stopcock of the
wind bag which has been closed for a
couple of days and proceeded TO explain
the nature Of his visit. AS soon as the
correspondent could get In word edge
ways she told him that she wanted moth
ing to do with him whatever. His an
swer was to unfold number Of letters
and explain that they were certificates OF
his good character. Burner asked the cor
respondent to go into the parlor OF the
hotel. In the interests Of peace the cor
respondent went inside with him, request
ing Mr.. Heiss to accompany her. Mr.. Heiss

not knowing that the lady knew him and
had known him for a number OF years.
The Chicago professor" unfolded more
certificates, at the same time saying that
he had brought Mr.. Heiss with him to de-
mand a retraction OF the statement made
that he was quack. He threatened libel
suits and things galore. The correspond
ent told him to go to headquarters for the
retraction. When he received her answer
Burner seemed to lose all the little sense
that he ever had and breathed dire things
that were going to happen to the cores
pondent unless she did as he wished. The
only answer that he received was to be
asked to leave. This he scorned to answer
and continued his TRADE Of threats, among
which was the arrest of the correspondent
which was scheduled to occur within the
next half hour. To this he received an
answer that once more expressed the con-
tempt for such people as entertained by
the correspondent, and he was told that

arrested for disturbing the peace. At this

All the way down the walk and for long

that the Herald correspondent is q man
and that what little sense he has tells him
that it would be better NOT to. A careful
inquiry at the justice Of the peace's office
failed to show that any warrant had been
issued at the instigation Of Burner. The
only thing that he has done was to Dor
