VENTURA, Dec. 9.-An automobile
stage service is to be inaugurated be-

The innovation promises to be very

way Will be made each day. The line
will be in operation on or before the

ceived by the Ojai Valley people, who
do not like the Southern Pacific ser

HEALING
NOT APPROVED
Sacramento Coroner's Jury Re-
turns an Unusual Verdict
in Rather Singular Case
DEATH IS KEPT SECRET
Friends of Patient Are In
formed That He Is Improv-
ing Long After He Had Died
Special Dispatch to The can.


SACRAMENTO, Dec. 9.-In returning
a verdict on the death of William Rob
ertson, a bookkeeper for Hale Bros. &
Co, a Coroners jury has pronounced
against Christian Science practice un-
less it is accompanied by treatment by
a member of the regular medical pro-
fession. The case which resulted in
this unusual verdict is one possessing
several singular features Robertson,
while at work last Sunday, was sud
denly seized with illness. He refused
the aid of q physician, but at his re-
quest was taken to the home Of Her.
bert w. Beck, Christian Scientist,
formerly a resident of Oakland. Rob-
ertson died at Beck's home Monlay
afternoon al o'clock, according to the
evidence adduced at the inquest
But for some reason not apparent an
effort was made to conceal the fact of
the death from the friends of Robert
son. E. w Hale, resident partner of
the firm of Hale Bros. & Co., testified
at the inquest that on Monday after
noon he went to Beck's house to see
Robertson and was denied admission
by Beck. Hale told Beck that Robert
son held an important position at his
store and ne must see him. Meeting
with another refusal, Hale started up
the stairs unlimited, and then learned
for the first time from Beck that Rob
ertson was dead.
Mrs. w. d. Kilborn, at whose house
Robertson had resided, testified that
she visited Beck's house at 4:30 o'clock
Monday afternoon and was told nv
Beck that the patient was resting
quietly and that she would be notified
of any change in his condition. At that
time Robertson had been dead more
than an hour.
L. Cusanovich a fellow employe of
Robertson, testified that about 4
O'Clock Monday afternoon, while his
| friend lay dead in the house. Beck told
him he could not see Robertson, but
that he was getting better, and Cusan-
ovich went away. saying he would call
later in the day. Beck contradictsd
| Cusanovich'S statement and defended
| his own course before the jury by stat
| ing that he had not tried to hide any
thing, but simply had not told ali he
knew to the parties who called He
! said he thought he was acting under
| the instructions Of the Coroner in keep
! ing the matter quiet.
! Coroner Gormley said to-day that he
gave no instructions whatever to Bect
and that in fact he was not notified OF
the death until Monday evening, when
Hale stopped at his Office to inquire
what he had done in the matter. Conn
ley expressed the opinion that Beclx's
purpose was to keep the death quiet
until the body could be removed from
his house after nightfall without oc-
casioning notoriety.
The autopsy on the body showed
death was from tuberculosis. The jury
after questioning Beck closely concern
ing his practice, returned the verdict
