SHE WAS DEMENTED
And Partially Clad Walked About tn
Streets

At an early hour this morning a girl
about Is years of age was brought to the
receiving hospital from Third street and
Stevenson avenue. The young woman was
evidently demented. She was clad only in
her night robe, skirt, hat and shoes. She
was noticed lying in vacant lot at the
point where the patrol wagon found her.
Several people questioned her and tried
to learn where she lived, but the girl could
give no satisfactory information.
At times she would have lucid moments,
and told DR.. Stenchfeld a story which, If
true, proves her to be victim of several
heartless people. Her first name, she said.
was Mamie, and she had been living 70:
some months with man named Rossner
substantiation of which was found in the
fact that she was in delicate condition.
She did not claim that he had abused her
but asserted that an aunt named Manuela
johnson had forced her to go and live with
him. She could not recall any incidents
previous to her departure from the house
last night. nor could she remember where
II stood. 1t Is possible that her condition
might have resulted in her mind giving
way. In any event she will be cared for
until the case can be further investigated.

Clicked by a Red Tape

The imposslbility Of getting any consld-
cradle portion Of the army, and in less
degree Of the navy, to make move when
move is deemed necessary is due in q
large measure to the amount of "red tape"
that has been introduced into the govern
ment bureaus during the long spell of peace
from which we have just emerged, and II
this tendency to red tape be not kept with-
in bunds it will go far at an early date ia
throttle both services, in so far, at any
rate, as their prompt usefulness is con-
cerned.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The Seventh Will Go This Month

Police Officer Ben Robbins returned yes
terday from San Francisco, where he has
been for a week past visiting his brother,
who is a member of the Seventh regiment.
While no orders had been received by the
regiment regarding the future movements
of the troops, there was a positive and
well-defined rumor out among the boys
that the Seventh would be ordered to start
for Manila on the 25th of this month.
Whence Or how this report started no one
seemed to know, but many of the officers
placed much credence in it, and when Mr..
Robbins left all the boys were in high
spirits over the prospects Of leaving so
soon.

TAMPA, Fla, May 31.-(From our own
CORRESPONDENT in the field.) Siege guns
have been sent down here and four bat
teries are being organized and drilled, the
men being drawn from the posts further
north on the coast. AS a measure of pre-
caution against possible attack by some
audacious torpedo boat on shipping in the
harbor. several pieces have been put in po-
sition on the wharf and the ground cleared
between others in camp and the beach, CIV
ing a free range far enough to sink any
unarmored or light-armored craft which
might venture in with hostile intentions.
Jacksonville has been selected as the
place of encampment of some Of the regi-
ments now on their way south, and prob
ably large number will be placed there.
Surprise has been expressed because tina
place was not made base in the first
place. The mouth of the river is narrow
enough to be easily mined to prevent in
trusion, and, once in it, there is room
enough to float our whole navy, and the
place can be reached by rail much more
economically than can this and it is only
a few hours farther from Cuba by sea.
Playing soldier about home and real SOL
diering in camp appeared so very different
to some of the Florida men that they at
tempted to quit the business regardless
of any oath of allegiance, and went home,
from which they will probably return sad
der and wiser men.
One member of the regiment complained
to the boss of the mule corral nearby that
the mules disturbed his slumbers. He was
comforted by the assurance that soldiers
and mules soon grew to be much alike any,
how, so that in the near future he would
not know the difference.
The morning is cool and pleasant, with a
breeze from the gulf, and the heat of the
sun tempered very materially by thin
haze. From the camps of the troops west
of the hotel come strains of music, as the
ceremony of guard mounting is going on.
There is no uniformity in this, some regi-
ments having it in the morning, others at
the close Of the day. AS this is not the
enemy's country, no pickets are posted,
though it might be we'll to have 1t done
for purposes of drill, that it might be we'll

The health of the troops continues good
the only death being the one by drowning

per cent Of sickness, and have heard OF
only six cases Of fever-three of them
typhoid-in the whole of the command.
The usual number of rumors about NOV
ing are rife, and we were surprised yester-
day to hear from the north that Is 900 men
were being embarked as rapidly as pos

INVESTIGATED THREE DEATHS

Pasadena

Coroner Campbell went to Pasadena
yesterday and held an inquest upon the
remains of Alexander d. Reed, the young
boy who was accidentally drowned in a
reservoir two miles from that place. a
verdict in accordance with the facts was
returned.
No jury was impaneled in the case of
Miss Carrie M. Swan, the young woman
whose neck was broken by being thrown
from her horse on Monday. DR.. Briggs
had been called Immediately after the ac-
eident, and he made a statement to the
coroner regarding it. No formal inquest
was held.
An inquest was held on the remains of
s. Goldberg, the Jewish rabbi, who COM
mitted suicide Monday by taking carbolic
acid. Goldberg had been very respondent
previous to the affair, and business trou-
bles caused him to take his life. A ver-
dict of suicide was found. The Jewish
Benevolent society buried the remains.

SIXTH ANNUAL RECEPTION
The Academy Of Sciences Holds an
Interesting Session

Those who were fortunate enough to re-
ceiye an invitation to the sixth annual re-
ception of the Academy of Sciences, held
last evening, enjoyed an interesting ana
instructive program
The retiring president, w. A. Spalding,
called the meeting to order and made
brief address in relinquishing his Official
duties. The object of the meetings OF the
academy he said, had been to study truth
and facts developed in science. One new
fact discovered may not seem to be very
important at the time, but may be OF ines
Unable value in the development OF the
worlds history. This was illustrated by
the discoveries in electricity. Magnetism
and electrical currents had been known
long time, but 1t was Oersted's discovery
that electrical currents could magnetic a
body that had made the practical appllca-
ton to art and mechanics possible II the
result Of these meetings is the discovery
| of new truth in science they will be OF value
| to posterity.
| Miss Lille Scanlon then sang SOLO ana
responded to an encore.
| Abbot Kinney, the newly-elected presi-
dent spoke briefly of the Importance OF sell
entifc study. Madam de Seminario then
sang the Jewel Song" from Faust, and re-
| sponded to an encore with ballad, when

| DR.. A. Davidson reported for the botani-
cal section, the meetings of which had been
| few during the year and the membership
small. Some discoveries had been made In
plant life that were important. The Matt
| lila poppy, supposed to be indigenous to
| that canyon, had been found growing In
the Puente hills, and the Kansas horse
nettle had been found at Long Beach, and
a new malva has also been discovered. DR..
Hasse of the Soldiers Home will soon issue
a new list of plants of Southern California.
w. H. Knight reported for the astronom-
ical section, and spoke Of the instructive
and entertaining lectures that have been
given in the past year. The section was
organized two years ago by B. r. Baum
