SWALLOWS cHL0ROFORM

While crawling on the floor of the
family home at Eleventh and South
Main streets yesterday morning, the
two-year-old baby daughter Of Clifton
Aztell, the attorney, found small
phial Of chloroform and drank the con-
tents.
The child showed symptoms of drow-
siness some time later and the anxious
mother discovered the empty bottle,
which showed the cause of the baby's
illness.
A police surgeon hurried to the home
and attended the child, the entire dose
of chloroform, about half spoonful
being removed from the little ones
stomach. The child revived without
any severe after effect.
The police surgeons are still wonder
ing how the child managed to swallow
so large quantity of the drug without
choking to death during the process.

OIL NEWS FROM CARLSBAD
ALTER DRILLING PLANS
to RaiIroad-Company Offices
In BraIv BuiIdind

General Manager Kellerman and Sec
retary Lonergan, together with other
officers of the Carlsbad Consolidated
the company's directors yesterday
afternoon, taking action providing for
a change of plans for development
work in the New Mexico field. The
change was all due to important news
received from B. w. Watlington, the
company's field superintendent. Mr..
Watlington, in his letter. states: "I
have just made an important discovery
in the Lonergan basin. Less than a
foot below the line Gaping in the
basin, which is five miles wide and
ten miles long, 1 found finer grade
of oil sand than has been unearthed in
any other part of the field The sand
is saturated with oil, and L believe the
basin is the place to put the oil drilling
machines"
The original plan was to operate first
in the Clip Creek district, where the
Mounts a few weeks ago struck oil
at depth of little over 200 feet
IHe company directors as result
of the conference telegraphed Mr.. Wat
lington to operate first in the Loner-
gan basin. This section is much nearer
the railroad, and in case a good flow of
oil is encountered, the product can be
handled much more economically than
from the Clip creek district.
Both Mr.. Lonergan and Mr.. Keller
man assert that the company controls
the very best or cream sections of the
Clip creek district and that it will be
developed later.
The directors have leased rooms 9O4
and 9O5 in the Braly building, over
looking Spring street for the Carlsbad
Consolidated Oil company's offices,
which will be occupied tomorrow.

ARBoR DAY OBSERVANCE
March II Decided Upon for Time Of
Celebration


The day set for the celebration of
Arbor day is March II, and an effort
will be made to interest the whole of
Southern California in the tree plant
ing movement.
A meeting of the Civic league was
held yesterday morning in the assem-
bly, room of the chamber of commerce,
and the subject was brought up by
Mrs. Willoughby Rodman, the chair
man of the outdoor art section. There
was considerable discussion as to
whether there should be parade this
year. but the final decision was that 1t
should be omitted.
The removal of unused derricks was
discussed and Mrs. Henry Clay Terrill
drew attention to some difficulties in
the way. 1t has been discovered that
there is no way to force a man to re-
move anything from his proprty unless
it is endangering life. This same diff
Guilty was discovered by Mrs. J. F.
Kanst of the billboard committee, and
when she made her report Mrs. Rod
man promptly declared that there
would have to be new ordinance. A
report was given by the garbage COM
mittee, and a paper on the necessity
for protecting birds was read by Mrs.

HOLDS SPECIAL SERVICE
Afternoon Meeting Attended by Large
Congregation

The first special afternoon meeting
was held yesterday in the First Metho-
dist church under the direction of j..
Wilbur Chapman. The song service
was conducted by Charles F. Allen
and Fred Butler. Following this tes-
timony meeting was held, in which DR..
Chapman asked any one who had done
any personal work to tell of it.
One woman said she had son-in-
law who was a railroad man and who
told her it was impossible to be a
Christian and railroad man. A young
man in the audience stood up and said
that he had been railroad man for the
past three years, and mentioned the
companies with which he had worked
"I know that man can be Christian
and engage in that work. It is the only
way that you can do it and be SAFE
"Some of the men may scoff, but
that does not hurt; down in their hearts
they have deeper respect for you.
thank God that he has made me a
Christian and that I can always do
anything and be anything with perfect
safety"
Old women with white hair stood up
and asked that their sons might have
the prayers of the congregation, and an
aged father sought the same for a
wayward boy. One woman said that
there were ten whom she wanted the
people to remember.
DR.. Chapman preached sermon on
the text, "And whosoever shall COM
pei thee to go a mile, go with him
twain"
The speaker pointed out the great
ness of this sermon on the mount and
of the man who delivered it. He scored
the tendency of the modern age to
wait for churches in which to preach
when Christ was ready to preach wher-
ever there was a sky for a roof, a floor
for a platform or a single individual
for an audience.
Services for children were held again
yesterday afternoon at the First Con-
gregational church by Rev. c. T.
Schaeffer, at which large number of
boys and girls were present.

letter from the chief of police of
Atchison, Kansas, at which point
Groves is said to have operated his

SHOULD USE INFLUENCE
J. Wilbur Chapman Exhorts Leaders
to Save Others

"Is 1t Well With Thee?" This was the
topic of sermon preached by DR..
Chapman last night at the meeting of
the central district. The text was
taken from First Kings 4:26. "Is it
well with thee? Is it well with thy hus-
band? Is it well with thy child? And
she answered 1T is WE'LL"
"Is it we'll with thee?" asked the
speaker. "That is personal salvation.
Here is life beset with trials, tempta-
ton is on every side and no man can
live as he ought to live until by faith
he takes Christ. 1t is not well with
him unless he is Christian.
First, God is ready.
Second, Christ is ready.
Third, friends are ready.
"Is it well with thy husband? This
does not simply mean is it well with
the one who walks by your side in the
journey of life. 1t does not mean this
one alone, but is 1T well with whom
you have an influence? Is 1t not a
solemn thing that In this world we are
divided by the most sacred things?
Between many a husband and wife
stands the church, the communion table
and the cross of Christ. never could
understand how one could close his
eyes in sleep if the one who is dear to
him is away from Christ.
"Is is we'll with thy child? 1t is not
if the child is away from Christ What
must we do If we win the lost to him
"First, speak to them. No child of
God is free from responsibility until
he has spoken to every one over whom
he has an influence about his personal
relation to Christ.
Second. pray for them. 1t is, indeed,
true that the effectual, fervent prayer
of a righteous man availeth much, but
best live before them a consistent
Christian life. There is no answer to
such an argument as that"
The meeting tonight will be held at
the Methodist church as usual. but to-
morrow night and Friday night they
will be held at Temple auditorium.
where the seating capacity will be
larger.

NO PLACE FOR
NEW COURT ROOMS
ATTORNEYS PUZZLED AS TO
LOCATION
Quarters for the Departments Proba-
bly, viii Ee Secured in Build
ing Near the Court
House

Now that the Legislature has passed
the bill providing for the establishment
of three additional departments of the
superior court, the legal wiseacres OF
Los Angeles are speculating on the
question of their location.
That the county court house is fan
too small to accommodate the require
ments of the judiciary is fact con-
ceded by all those interested in this
perplexing question, and many have
made suggestions relative to the fu-
ture home of Los Angeles county S
courts of record.
Some have suggested that sufficient
space might be acquired in the new
Huntington building, but owing to its
location this idea meets with little
favor in the legal profession.
Many prominent attorneys have sug-
gested the Bullard building, and it is
apparent that this building is the IA
vorite location among those who daily
transact business at the county court
house.
Other sites situated in the vicinity
of the court house are also talked
about, and the arguments of those
who favor this idea are likely to pre-
vail when the question comes up for
hearing before the board of supervisors
next month.
The proposed sites are for temporary
purposes only and will be used merely
for the purpose of expediting litigation
as an addition to the court house will
in all probability be provided for.
1t is expected that Governor Pardet
will announce his nominations for the
various judgeships this week, and the
candidates are active in their cam
paigns.
Superior Judges Allen and Trask bid
fair to receive the appointments as
judges of the new court of appeals
which it is understood will hold its ses-
sions in the rooms of the supreme court
in the Bullard building.
