SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 25.--A
warm controversy is on between Presi-
dent w. NJ. Parker of the board Of
education and some of the pastors Of
the city and prominent church people
over the fact that dancing was per-
mitted at the high school reception
given by the board of education to
the faculty Of the high school and at
tended by many fashionable people Of
the younger set of the city last night.
After the formalities were over Presi-
dent Parker of the board stepped for

would be permitted to dance, and that
If anyone had any objections to come
to his office the next morning and tell

And they came this morning Rev.
II. E. White, pastor of the First Chris
tian church, ]. l.. Oakley, c. L. Bar
rett and II. II. Hamm, prominent busi-
ness men, called on Mr.. Parker and
stated they felt that the holding Of a
dance in the high school building was
very improper procedure, AS rep
resenting many of the good people of
the city they desired to enter pro-
test and to ask that In the future
dances be not held In the public school
buildings.
In reply Mr.. Parker stated that he
had studied the matter over and had
about come to the conclusion that 1t
was improper and would in the future
use his influence in the opposite di-
rection.
However, there are many who ap-
plaud the action of Mr.. Parker and say
they believe in allowing the young peo-
pie to have a good time and that the
schoolhouse is as good a place as any

FINDS BODY Of
DEAD RANCHER
CORONER INVESTIGATES CASE
NEAR RINC0N
Robbery at First Suspected, but Mans
Money Is Found in Plain View.
Horses Are Discovered
Nearly Starved

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 25.-An
investigation of the death of David
Yount, an aged rancher who lived
alone near Rincon, was made today by
Coroner Pittman of this city.
Yount's body was found lying on the
floor of his cabin, partially under the
bed where, it is believed, he had lain
dead for at least two days. His body
was badly scratched and bruised,
which at first led to the suspicion that
he had been a victim of foul play,
but that was abandoned after his
money was found in full view and
undisturbed.
Two days ago a neighbor passed the
place and saw Yount's dog sitting in
front of the door, which was partially
open. Last night the same condition
was noticed and suspicious were
aroused, as no stir had been seen about
the place. Investigation showed the
old rancher was dead.
His team had stood in the stable
the entire two days without food or
water and when found were nearly
famished, being scarcely able to stand.
The old man was something of an &C.
centric character, living apart from
the rest OF the world for years. He
has daughter at Cucamonga.
Eccentric Character Dies
The word has been received here of
the death at Macomb, ILL.,, of George
w. Polling, for many years an eccentric
resident of this city. He was nearly
80 years of age.
For a number of years Polling was
one of the characters of this city and
some years ago was married to Mrs.
Jane Atwood of this city against the
wishes of all of Mrs. Atwood's friends.
It has now been learned that Polling
at that time had wife and several
children living in the Illinois town.
Polling was exceedingly eccentric,
and by many was considered to be
mentally unbalanced. One of his hal
lucinations was that ne was about to
inherit a vast estate in the east and
when he first came to this city he
posed as a wealthy 'easterner and for a
short time cut wide swath

AMERICAN BOATS
IN FRENCH WATERS
Dixie and Chalanger in Me-
tor Boat Contest For
HarmSWOrth Cup.
ARCHON BAY, FRANCE, CHOSEN

Bordeaux, France, Sept. 11.-Sev-
eral hundred devotees of motor boat
sport from all parts of the world have
given themselves a rendezvous in the
bay of Arcahon, about twenty miles
south of this city, to attend the first
series of auto-boat races for the in
ternational Harmsworth cup.
The British international cup Is
named after its owner, Sir Alfred
Harmesworth, and is an open chal.
lenge cup, held by the winner, for one
year only Each country entering the
competition for the cup may be repre-
sented by three boats. In the contest
which begins at Arcachon bay today
America is represented by two chal.
lengers, the Challenger, now owned by
w. Gould Brokaw, and the Dixie, own.
ed by E. r. Thomas. Both boats are
of 150-horse power, trifie under forty
feet long, and equipped with eight
cylinder engines.
The Challenger is well known, hav.
ing competed in many races in north
ern and southern waters. Last winter
in Florida it made a record of one
mile in two minutes, on the lake near
Palm Beach, 1t was the only boat
representing America in the Harness
worth cup race last year, when it was
held in English waters. Since then
it has been greatly improved, and
strong hopes are entertained that it
will give a good account of itself at
the races this week The hulls of
both boats were designed by Clinton
n, Crane
The Dixie is considered a wonder
fully swift boat, and has had many
highly satisfactory trials on the Hud,
son river and in Jamaica bay. The
boat is said to not only have speed
but has the ability to keep it up for
a longer distance than that called for
by the requirements of the Harmes
worth cup race.

the place aside from the principals,
and she knew nothing of the affair
until ii was over.
Clark's pistol was found about two
feet from his body. 1t was half-cocked
and one chamber had been fired
Skaggs claims that Clark ran after
being shot, from where his pistol was
found to where his body lay.
There is considerable excitement
among the neighbOrs of Skaggs and
Clark over the killing The latter was
a young man who had never been in
serious trouble before, After She
shooting Skaggs went TO Camp Verde
and gave himself up to the deputy
sheriff
