HAS DAUGHTER
TAKEN TO JAIL
Mother Charges Pretty Six
teen Year-Old Eva Pow
ers With Striking Her

Eva Powers, a pretty but wayward
girl of 16 years, was arrested yester-
day afternoon and charged with bat
terry. The charges are made by her
mother, who says her daughter struck
her. The girl in fearful tones denies
that she raised her hand against her
mother, but makes the assertion that
the elder woman tried to choke her
with a strap which she wound around
her neck.
The case. is but one of many. The
mother, trying to stay the reckless ca
reer of a wayward child and failing,
felt herself compelled to use drastic
measures.
Eva Powers is a blonde with rather
pretty face. She is employed at A.
Mautz & Co.'s dry goods store, 1886 Mis-
sion street, as a salesgirl. Her father
is a shoemaker and the girl has TO
work to help support herself. Her
mother, Mrs. Catherine Powers. says
that Eva repeatedly stays out late at
night in company with young men.
Much against the protest of the mother
she went to the Chutes Friday night
with another girl. Alice Tillotson, who
resides in Alameda There they met
two young men. to whom Mrs. Powers
had objected. The mother followed her
daughter and watched the meeting,
then ordered the girl TO so home.
Yesterday afternoon the quarrel over
the young men was renewed Mrs.
Powers says that Eva struck her in the

BY EXPLOSION OF CANNON
Albert BertheIson Acquires Wisdom
in Experiment With a Fourth
of July Toy.

While trying to ram a 22-caliber cart
ridge into a homemade cannon. Albert
Berthelson yesterday received the con-
tents of the weapon in his hand. Ber-
thelson, who is Is years old, had the
cannon made by a blacksmith. The
youth could not wait till the Fourth
to test it. Accompanied by some
friends, he took it 10 a vacant lot near
his home, at Eighth and Tehama
streets.
The noise e-creator worked well at first
trial with a simple charge of powder.
Then some one suggested that a
cartridge be used. AS Berthelson tried
to ram the shell into the cannon it ex-
ploded, sending a charge of burning
powder and battered cartridge into
his hand The boy was taken to the
Central Emergency Hospital, where his
painful injuries were dressed by DR..

Work of Chinatown Squad.

The report of Sergeant Christensen
of the work done by the squad in
Chinatown for last month was fled
with the Chief of Police yesterday. In
view of the fact that there has been
an injunction in force since January
26 restraining the police from interfer-
ing with gambling or lottery places
the report is looked upon as satisfac-
tory. The total arrests were 129 and
40 of those arrested were convicted
and paid fines. 10 were sent to Jail and
20 were dismissed. The fines and for
FIXTURES amounted to 1912 so.

With Revolver and Is Arrested for
Disturbing the Peace.

Sam Magnison and A. Berglof are
tailors and occupy the same store at
504 Kearny street. They are young
men. Magnison has a pretty girl en-
ployed as a tailoress, but she has ex-
pressed a desire to work for Berglof.
Magnison blamed Berglof for in
f1uencing her. Berglof alleges that on
Friday last Magnison picked up a pair
of shears, and, coming close to him,
made a remark that he did not care
to live If somebody else were dead.
Yesterday afternc on they met in the
store. Trouble ensued and Berglof
ran out and told Policeman Cavanaugh

There was no declaration in the law
and no possible inference to be derived
from II imposing upon the State the
duty TO reclaim the land within a given

contrary. IL was clearly within the pro-
vince Of the State 10 proceed with such

In the first decision quoted it is de-
clared that the obligation of a State to
reclaim the land rests upon the State
alone, and that no trust is thereby at
tached to the land itself, but that the
title to such land when obtained from
the State is not affected by the man
ner in which the State might perform
its duty to the Government.
In the second decision it is declared
that the purchaser of State swamp
lands is not party to the contract be-
tween the State and the United States
relating to reclamation, and that the
appropriation of the proceeds from the
granted swamp lands to reclamation
rests solely upon the good faith Of the
State.
These decisions of the highest tri-
bunal of the land set at rest the whole
question as to the legal right of a State
to now create a swamp land district
and include within its boundaries re-
claimed and unreclaimed land, and as
sess all the land so included for pur-
poses of general reclamation, and clear
ly discloses the fact that the State pos
sesses no such right.

osition TO abandon the policy of recIa-

Lucky Number Thirteen.

The world over, the number 1a lis considered an unlucky number by the superstitious. An incl dent of the late Baltimore fire, which also was noticed at several previous fires, goes to prove conclusivcly that 13 is a very lucky number. At 13 East Pratt street is the firm of B. B. Owens & Go. It has been there for B years. "Thirteen an unlucky number?' said Mr. Owens, "Well I guess not. During my time here we have had four severe fires within a stones throw of our store. The first one scorched our back door, the second forced us to tear up the carpets, figur- atively speaking, the third heat ed our awning and this one dis colored our windows; but we are still doing business at the old stand and the 13 above the door shines SS of old"

Eoid the Secret of Life snd Death.

Recent experiments conducted by most eminent scientists, prove that light is e great remedial agent; 1t is essentially Natures agent. It may be either sum- light or electric light, but it has a de- rided ellect i'll helping nature to banish disease and restore health. Other sc;en- tific men have proved that oxygen cleo tri'ies the heart and can prolong life.
 The people on this earth are susceptible to some laws which govern plant life. 4 plant cannot De successfully grown in the a2:k. A man is seldom healthy and strong wto lives in the dark or in sunless rooms. After all, Natures ways are found 10 be thr best. Natures remedies are always best for eTadica:ing disease, and by this wc mean medicine made of roots and herbs. They are assimiiated in the stomach and taken up by the blood and are, therefore, the most potent means which can be e.n- ployed for the regainiug of lost health. Dr.. R. V. Pierce. consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, ct Buffalo, x. Y., in many years of cxten- sive practice, fou1d that he could pin his faith to all alternative extract of certain plants and roots for the cure of all blood diseases. This he called Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Containing no alt,ohol nor narcotics, entirely vegetable, th;s Discovery makes rich red blood and $ powerful tissue builder, giving the tired business man or woman renewed strength ard health. Rapidly growing school girls aud boys often show impoverished blood by the pimples or boiis which appear on face or neck. Tc eradicate the poisons f;c.n the blood, and feed the heart lungs and stomach on pure blood, nothing is % good as Dr. Pierce's Golden. Medical Discovery.
