PASADENA, Oct. 17.-Thieves visit
ed the little station of the Santa Fe
railroad on Los Robles avenue last
night and when they did not find
anything of value left a note in a
conspicuous position suggesting that
some money ought to be left in the
station at night. Neither money nor
tickets are left there over night, a
fact which the would-be thieves evil
IDENTIFY did not know, so the visit was
bootless. The men, for there were at
least two, forced open side window
and leisurely ransacked the entire
place. Patrolman Lcngley was sent to
investigate when the matter was re-
ported to the police department this
morning, and learned on inquiry
among the neighbors that a real estate
dealer in the vicinity, returning home
late at night, had seen the thieves at
work, and because he had no weapon
had gone quietly to his home and,
without notifying anyone of what he
had seen, went peacefully to bed.

PLAN TO BEAUTlFY BELL
Ladies' Improvement Society Has an
Ambitious Scheme to Plant
Shade Trees
Special to The Herald.


BELL, Oct. 1.-THE Ladies' Improve
ment association is wondering whether
it will be able to carry out in full its
scheme to beautifv the town by plant
ing shade trees along tie streets. While
the residents are enthusiastic, the alb
sentee owners arc not falling into line
and in some cases cannot be located.
Failing more general support from
nonresident owners the association will
limit itself to less ambitious scheme.
1t is proposed to improve the irrigat-
ing system in time for next season.
Pump No. 2, it is claimed, is antiquated
and repairs have proved costly, without
improvement. 1t is proposed to sub
stitute a new pump, and a change in
power is also advocated. A meeting
will be held October 28 to vote an
assessment to cover the deficiency on
the seasons working and to discuss the
situation.

sliding into the bay.
The government dredger is operat-

part of the inner harbor to a depth of
twenty-four feet. AS the depth at
present is only about eight or ten feet,
the excavation of so much bottom is

The Interest Grows as
the Contest Proceeds
Favorites Are Beginning to Appear and
"HustIe" Is Now the Word

great deal of general enthusiasm was
provoked throughout the territory i'll
which the contest is being conducted.
New names are coming in daily and
voting is not restricted in any sense
whatever. Anyone may vote as often
as they please and for whom they
please.
This is voting contest, and the
ladies receiving the five largest num-
ber of votes are the ones who will re-
ceive the 5000 in prizes now being Of
fered by The Herald. There are a
number of popular ladies in the race,
and it is but right that The Herald
readers and the friends of candidates
help the ladies out as much as possi-
BILE. If you do not want more than one
Herald yourself, send it to a friend or
relative. They will appreciate it and
by so doing you establish commune
cation which will come into their
homes daily. Unlike other contests,
this affair pays in value for every cent
invested.
Votes are not purchased for so much
cash, but for every cent received by
The Herald a cents worth of value is
dealt out in news of the world. It is
ture, and no one should consider it in
the light that money paid out in this
contest is wasted, as there is a greater
value given for the money than for
any other investment which it would
be possible to make. Yesterdays bal
lot was very heavy, and a number of
the candidates have done remarkably
well for the short time the contest has
in,
dates have changed about somewhat
since the announcement of Sunday,
and more changes may be expected
from time to time as the contest pro-
ceeds. A few new names are to be
seen in the list, and they have entered
with large number of votes to their
credit A difference of few thousand
votes or so is not a very large margin,
as it means little more than years
subscription to The Herald, and those
who are behind by such a small
amount should not lose heart by any
means, but keep on with the race with
renewed vigor
Among. the changes most noticeable
resulting from yesterdays vote were
the following: Miss Catherine Backs,
new contestant, has entered the race
with $500 votes to her credit, which
places her name at the head Of the
list Miss Clara Flues Of the Vile de
Paris takes second place from Miss
Carrie Lee of Coulter's store, while
Miss Eta Schumacher of the Vile de
Paris takes third place from Miss
Edythe Learned of the New York
Cloak and Suit house. Mrs. w. ].
Lloyd of the Hamburger store now oc-
cupies fourth position, displacing Miss
Mabel Beck, and Miss Edith House Of
Lane & Co. assumes fifth place on the
list
The race is never ended until the
goal is reached, and there is always
time for the last competitor to win
out, Keep up with the contest and
make it your determination to win
and you will be successful.

believed to be not only justified, but morally enjoined to counteract as far as possible the mischievous effects Of the work of astrologers who pretend to foreten the character of coming seasons of the progress of storms and ordinary weather conditions from month to a year in advance, and whose unfounded and unreliable forecasts are too often given undue circulation by the less careful publishers says the bureaus publication, a conclusion that cannot fail to receive the endorse ment of all well informed persons. The weather bureau is taking advantage of every discovery and device that tends to increase the efficiency of it's service, and it may be taken for granted that if a scientist who would "can the weather for a year in ad- vance really existed the government would find a way to make it more profitable for him to work for the bu reau rather than for almanac pub fishers.

Long Range Forecasts.

Some Of the absurdities of the long range weather forecasts put out by auacks are treated in a publication by the central office of the United States weather bureau.
 "Planetary weather forecasts are too far-fetched to be practicable" says the publication. "The prophets in that line lem. When there is a little more than the usual degree Of heat or storminess they peer into the nebular spaces to see what caused the disturbance on the earth, and then allege that it was done by Jupiter. or was the maligp work of Saturn, which in their philos- ophy causes epidemics and pestilentiaI contagious diseases. Possibly, also, they may in time discover that it is due to Saturnian potency that we have rings and combines in human af- fairs. Why not?"
 The bureau invites a comparison of actual weather conditions. as shown by the bureaus maps, with some of the Iong-range forecasts given to the public through almanacs and other mediums. The ease with which change in the weather conditions may be con- nected with changes in the moon is explained by the undeniabie fact that the moon changes every week and ali changes in the weather must neces- sarily come within three and three fourths days of a change in the moon.

HENRY HUDSON.

Hudson must have been at least 40 when he died, but nothing is known of his life before the last four years of it. A certain Henry Herdson, or Hudson, alderman of London and one of the founders of the Muscovy Company, has been suggested as his grandfather, and the relationship is more likely, because it is certain that some of his name and kin were interested in the company. It may have been that upon their recOm- mendation that he was first appointed to the command of a ship in the com pany's service fin 1907. Of his early training and previous voyages nothing is known; the beginning of his his tory is as mysterious as it's end. He was born, no one knows where, and he died, no one knows how. He comes in to our Knowledge on the quarter deck of a ship bound for the Pole; he goes out of it in a crazy boat manned by eight sick men, and so fades away in the dim haze that hangs about the des- olate ice foes. ..
 The four voyages of Hudson of which we have record were not, therefore, di- rected to absolutely unknown waters, but the observations made by his pre- cursors were so untrustworthy that were of but little service except to mislead him. The object of his first voyage in the service of the Muscovy Company was to discover the Pole, and sail across it to the islands of Spicery or Cathay," and on April 19, 1907. he, With John Hudson, his son of It years old, and the 10 men who made up the crew of the Hopeful. took the sacrament together in St. Ethelburgh's in Bishopgate, ''purposing to go to sea four days after"
 In the following year Hudson sailed again. still in the service of the com pany.
 They reached the Lofoden Isles in a month, and rounded the North Cape on June l. A fortnight later they encoun- tered one of those wonders of the deep which the seaInen of that time were so often privileged to witness and de- scribe, on June 15th

No Interference.

The Japanese government has kept it's peace terms to itself, but it allows two things to be seen clearly. It will waste no time in barren negotiations. It will meet no Russian envoys with out full powers.
 The world had an example in 1895 of the way Japan does business. The Chinese envoys went to Japan to waste time in discussing terms of peace without full power to sign and agree. At the first meeting they were sent home for full credentials. Japan is willing to save the Russian envoys this humiliation. Its own plenipotentiaries will not go to Washington until the government is satisfied with the pow CTS given the Russian envOys.
 In the meantime Russia has only herself to blame if the war goes on. Japan never has agreed to an armis- tice. but there was no actual resump- tion of military operations in Manchu- ria until it was discovered that the Russian note to President Roosevelt was not a frank and full agreement to negotiate terms of peace like that of Japan. The only hope of avoiding an other bloody battle lies in instant sub stitution by Russia of a more satisfac- tory agreement. There are rumors of efforts to this end in Washington.
 The second thing the Japanese gov ernment makes reasonably clear is that no interference with the negotia- tion or supervision of the peace trea- ty by other powers will be tolerated. Japan is going to make peace with Russia as it was made with China and show the treaty to the world after it is done. This time she has taken pre- cautions against a combination of Eu- ropean powers to tear up her treaty. The peace of 1895 was made on Jap anese territory. Japan wanted to treat with Russia in d Chinese city. She refused absolutely to go to Flu rope, but fnlly agreed to Washington.
 It is understood, however that the summer heat will be made a pretext for adjourning the conference to some point in New England. The signiti- cant hint comes from Washington that both the Russian and Japanese min isters in Washington have notified the ministers of other powers that their presence in the town where the con- ference is held is not desired.

HE GOT THE APPOINTMENT.

When Thurlow was Lord Chancellor of England he was much at outs with the Bishop of London. The latter was visited one day by a clergyman who sought appointment to a fat living then vacant. He wanted a letter of recom- mendation to Lord Thurlow, but the bishop said such a letter was likely to do more harm thu good. Nevertheless, he wrote it. When ThurloW read the missive he said: well, as that scoun- drel, the Bishop of London, has intro duced you, you won't get the living. "So the bishop said my lord" was the meek reply. Did the bishop say sop roared Thurlow. Then I'll prove him a liar. for you shall have the living" And he was as good as his word Philadelphia Record.

ElectrlcItv and Consumption.

Electrical apparatus which was inn norted from Europe has just been in stalled in a Cincinnati medical school It's inventor. Professor Leopold E,reund lives in Vienna. It is design ed particularly for the treatment or tuberculosis. Press accounts Of it's ar rangement indicate that it employs combination of devices which MT. Tes- Ia has been instrumental in introduc- ing into the laboratory for the pro duction of high vOltages and oscllla- tions of high frequency Use is made of both the old fashioned induction coil or Ruhmkorff coil. and an inn proved Leyden jar, or condenser. Elec- tricians are now well aware that spec tacular and other effects which are without precedent can be produced by these means, and MT. Tesla himself has long been hopeful that the appar- atus might prove useful to the medl- cal professfon. Some of his friends have regretted that he did not himself un- dertake a sufficiently long series of eX- periments with it to reveal its possi- biHties more fully.
 Physicians have been employing electricity as a remedy for disease for nearly a century, their methods chang ing from time to time and multiplying to a rather confusing degree. One or the modern usages with which the public is already familiar is the de- velopment of x rays by the electrical excitation of a vacuum tube. Another is the evolution of a powerful light to whose direct influence patients are subjected. Atmospheric oxygen may he transformed into ozone by electri- city. and as ozone is a powerful ger micide it has been thought that good might be done by inhaling it. Cata- phoresis. or the introduction of drug Qil1e carbolic acid) into a patients system by a sort of electrical bonn bardment, and a purely mechanical vii bration set up by a bit of electrical machinery are two other well known ventures in electro-therapeutics. Fin ally, there is the high frequency system, which delivers from one ter minal or two an electrical spray, from which a certain amount of benefit is supposed to be derived. Here, again, some variety is found in the type Of apparatus adopted. some experts pre- ferring the so-calIed static machine and others being better satisfied with the Tesla coil" In the mode of ap- plying the current. too, there is con- siderable diversity. It seems probable, therefore that the Freund apparatus differs from other equipments for the same general purpose only in certain details. not in principle.
 Although the high frequency system is just now enjoying a certain popu- larity. perhaps it would not be unjust to say that it is still on trial. The re suits obtained with it are not uniform, and in the hands of an inexperienced operator it is likely to develop Objec- tionable features. In time these may be entirely obviated. but it may be doubted whether any form of electrical treatment will yield better results in cases of consumption which are not far advanced than are afforded by plenty of fresh air and nutritious food

RAN THE HOLE OUT OF TOWN.

The Russian had well in his front yard which he cOncludede to fill up. He began by digging hole by the side of the well, throwing the dirt from the new excavation into the well
 ''In the course of time" said MT. Holmes, "the old well was filled, but there was a hole alongside of it as big as the first. The Russian went far ther away and dug another hole to fill the second.

skin Of old-Time SURGEON.

OF the skill in surgery of DR.. Val
entine Mott, it is recorded that in 1928
he performed what is universally al.
lowed to be the most difficult feat ever
attempted in surgery. A clergyman
was afflicted with an enormous tumor
in the neck, in which were imbedded
and twisted many of the great AFTER
les. In removing the tumor it was
necessary to take out entire one of the
collar bones, to lay bare the men,
brane inclosing the lungs, to dissect
around arteries displaced by the tu-
NOR and imbedded in it, to apply As
ligatures and remove an immense
mass of diseased matter. All this was
done without the aid of chloroform.
The patient survived the operation
and many years afterward continued
to discharge the duties of his profess
sion.
