FANKLIN HOPES FOR RAIN
However, He Fears Storm May Waste
STRENGTH at Sea

Weather Forecaster Franklin held to
his prediction of rain yesterday, assert
ing that the disturbance at sea was still
in progress and would likely produce
showers or even a storm in Southern
California.
He says the indications are that an
atmospheric disturbance is going on at
sea which, according to we'll established
rules, produces rain at unexpected
times. The weather bureau is not pre-
pared to base predictions on conditions
at sea, he says, and only guesses can
be made when the storm area Is out
side of the jurisdiction of the official
instruments.
A falling barometer indicated condi-
tions favorable TO rain, although the
other conditions shown by the instru-
ments did not promise a downpour.
The rain, 1t is pointed out. may not
fall on the coast at all, but might con-
fine itself to the ocean as a playground.

COURTS DEATH BY
LYING ON TRACK
MANIAC TWICE ATTEMPTS TO
END HIS LIFE
Each Time He Is Saved by the Train
crew-captured After a Chase
and Sent to the
Hospital

Twice attempting to end his life by
stretching his body across the railroad
track In front of swiftly moving trains
and each time saved by the engineer,
Edwin Inthurm was taken to the coun-
ty hospital yesterday afternoon and
confined in cell as a maniac.
The mans first attempt TO end his
life was made eight miles from Los
Angeles on the Salt Lake railroad,
where he partially undressed himself
and, then placing his head on one of
the rails and his legs across the other,
calmly awaited death from an ap-
preaching train. The engineer discov-
cred the body lying across the track
and stopped the train within a few
feet of where the man was lying.
Inthurm scrambled to his feet and
sought to escape, but was captured and
a message sent to the hospital for at
tendants to take him in charge.
Left moment by himself, the maniac
succeeded in making his escape, and
nothing was seen of him until in the
afternoon, when the engineer of another
train discovered him near Montebeilo'
with his body again placed across the
rails. The train was brought to a
standstill, and after the entire crew
had been called out to effect his cap
ture Inthurm was bound hand and foot,
placed aboard the train and brought
to Los Angeles.
Inthurm fought fiercely to escape cap
ture but after being tied the frenzy
wore off by the time the train reached
Los Angeles, and when he was placed
in a cell in the insane ward of the hos
pital he was unable to stand from
nervousness and was laughing and cry
ing b. turns.
Inthurm is of German extraction, 22
years old.

FIRE COMMISSION NAMES
DEPARTMENT SECRETARY
r. w. Burns Resigns and ls Succeeded

Fire Enoines


Mayor McAleer yesterday recon-
mended the fire commission to appoint
B. p. O'Brien. a painter in the South
ern Pacific car shops, as secretary Of

signed in order to accept another po-
sltion which has been offered to him.

ence as a fireman. AT times when the

Is necessary on the secretary's part.
O'Brien's service will begin January 10.
w. M. Barry was certified to the COM
mission by the civil service commission,
the old commission having asked that,
captain be certified. No appointment
was made, the mayor saying, Il want

will be made January IA. 1t is ex-
pected that the American and Mott
engine companies will enter machines.

appoint ed him as one Of the members
of a committee to conduct the test.

department, be appointed in my place.
This action was taken by the commits
sion.

the ordinance providing for the ap-
pointment of a superintendent of en-
gines and machinery in the department

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in palatable, con-
centrated form, so that single grain
is far more effective than a table,
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and exper-
iment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium SulphideJ and
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Waters. They arc
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle Of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, eff
fective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form Of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health;
sulphur acts directly on the liver, and
riches the blood by the prompt elimi-
nation of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall. but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
flowers OF sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot compare
with the modern concentrated prepara-
tions of sulphur, Of which Stuart's
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the
best and most widely used
They are the natural antidote for liv-
er and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in way
that often surprises patient and ply
sician alike.
DR.. r. M. Wilkins while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su-
perior to any other form. He says:
SFor liver, kidney and blood trou-
bles, especially when resulting from
constipation or malaria, l have been
surprised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap-
pear I'm four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth: Although
Stuarts Calcium Waters is proprie-
tary article, and sold by druggists,
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet l know of nothing so
safe and reliable for constipation, liver
and kidney troubles and especially in
all forms of skin disease as this rem
edy."
pills. eathartics and so-called blood
"purihers," will find in Stuart's Call
cium Waters a far safer more pala-
table and effective preparation.

julius kruttschnitt Says That the
Company Has Been Put to
Great Expense in Re-
building Road

Julius Kruttschnitt, director of MAIN
tenance and operation of the Hartman
lines, arrived in Los Angeles yester-
day morning at $3.50 o'clock and spent
the day in an inspection of the South
ern Pacific docks at San Pedro har-
Dor and the switch yards and small
spurs of the same road in and about
Los Angeles.
He was accompanied from Yuma by
Division superintendent R. II. Ingram
and was met here by Acting Manager
Bancroft of the Southern Pacific, who
will accompany him to San Francisco
this afternoon.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt said his visit to
Los Angeles has no significance other
than that he is simply on a tour of
inspection, looking over the company's
interests to see what Is needed in the
way of improvements. This reminded
him of new Arcade station, larger
and more commodious to accommodate
the constantly increasing traffic, and
he hastened to say that no such i'm
provement is contemplated for some
time to come.
THE needs of Los Angeles in this
the road" said Mr.. Kruttschnitt, "but
there has been so much expense in re-
building of the road and new equip

Every mile of track is in splendid
condition and the road is as near per-
feet as l have ever seen it. Nearly
200 bridges of light construction have
been taken out and replaced by strong

laid. This move has been made nee
essary by the heavy locomotive and
rolling stock with which we have been
equipping the road during the past
four years.

RoeIs is CAPTURED
Suspect Taken at Santa Paula-He
Makes Confession

Frank Rogis was arrested at Santa
Paula yesterday morning for alleged
completely in the murder of Jack Gre
sello, the aged peanut vender, whose
body was found in shed in the rear of
1876 San Pedro street Thursday night.
Despite Rogiss implied confession,
which he made to Detective Hugh
Dixon at the Santa Paula depot yes
terday, there is a strong belief that he
did not deliver the fatal knife thrust.
Rogis was arrested by Constable
Baker at Santa Paula on description.
Sheriff Nat Stewart of Santa Barbara
was in Los Angeles Thursday and was
furnished with description of the man
suspected. From the train window he
saw a man answering the description.
At Piru City he informed Constable j.
70. Trotter of the case and of the
stranger he had seen from the train.
Trotter made an effort to capture the
man but failed, At Santa Paula Baker
succeeded in arresting Rogis

He claimed to have been cut by the
dead man, showing his clothing, which
were slashed with knife. He ad-
mitted being in the room with Cresello
and admitted being in fight with him.
Rogis was not aware Of the, charge
against him. He is peanut vender
and is well known.
The officers have ascertained that
Cresello was with some men in the room
from about 4 O'clock in the afternoon,
He got drunk and was taken to the
shed to get sober. Beck, an American,
says that he helped carry Cresello 20
the shed and that up to that time he
was not injured. physician says
that he could not have lived more than
fifteen minutes after receiving the
abdominal wound. 1t Is therefore be-
lieved that 'Creselo was stabbed while
he was sleeping in the shed and after
he had been carried from the room.
Rogiss arrest grows out Of the fact
that he Immediately disappeared after
the trouble with Cresello and left the
city. Two knives belonging TO Rogis
are In the possession of the officers.

ITALIANS DEATH
RESULT OF FIGHT
MAFIA NOT CONCERNED IN THE
KILLING OF CRESELL0
John Franks Held as Suspect in MUIR
der Case Asserts That His
Friend Slew Peanut
Vender

Jack Cresello accused my friend and
myself of robbing him of $25 and then
my friend Guasto Mestieri jumped up
and threw his knife to the floor. He
ther picked up his knife and fought
with Jack Cresello and then they left
the house."
This testimony given by John Franks,
held on suspicion of the murder of
Jack Cresello, a peanut vender in a
house at 1886 San Pedro street, at the
coroner's inquest yesterday afternoon,
turned the suspicion from Frank and
directed it to the missing Guasto Mes
teri.
The entire story of the fight in the
little room of the lodging house Thurs
day night, which resulted in the death
of Cresello, was given by Franks at
the inquest, throwing the blame of the
murder from the hand Of the alleged
terrible Malta of the city to the hot
temper of the Italians.
MY friend Guasto Mestieri and my
self were preparing the noon meal in
my room when Cresello came in and

When the meal had been prepared
we partook of it as friends and then
spent the afternoon drinking wine.
During the afternoon man named Ed,
son. of the owner of my loom, came in
and we drank some more wine and
sang songs and played on the accor-
dion. Later Ed went to nearby sa-
loon and treated Cresello.
In Great Rage
."When Cresello came back he was in
a great rage and accused Guasto Mes
teri and myself of having taken $25
from him and he asked us to give him
a knife, as he wanted to kill us both.
"Mestieri then stood up and drew his
knife from his pocket. 1t was a clasp
knife with six-inch blade, and he
hurled it to the floor so that it stuck
with the blade in the wood. He folded
his arms and Cresello advanced toward
him.
"Mestieri then stopped and picked the
blade from the floor With his left hand
he caught .Cresello and held him from
him as they scuffed, and then both left
the house. l did not see blow struck
Guasto Mestieri is a nickname, mean
ing Jack of all trades" The man was
a laborer and went under the names of
Frank Rolls and Josefa de Graccia. He
boarded in the house where the muir
der occurred.
After leaving the room in which he
was stabbed Cresello walked about sew
fcnty feet before dropping dead with in
yternal bleeding. DR.. Campbell testified
that a wound from a six-inch bladed
knife was found in the left side of the
abdomen Of the deceased and that the
stab had caused death
The jury returned verdict of death
