MISSING NURSE
FOUND BY POLICE
PATRoLMAN ARRESTS HER ON
STREET
WILL BE ARRAIGNED TODAY
Miss BeuIah Hawkins, Who Myster-
lously Disappeared Three Weeks
Ago, Taken in Custody by
Policeman Tyler
WILL BE ARRAIGNED TODAY

Miss Beulah Hawkins, formerly nurse
at the California hospital, who had been
missing from her home for three
weeks, was found by Patrolman Tyler
last night.
At the request Of Miss Hawkins pa
rents. who live at Norwalk, a local de-
tective agency has been searching for
the missing girl without success. Last
night Patrolman Tyler met her on
South Hill street and, recognizing her
from description supplied to the po-
lice, arrested her and sent her to the
police station where she was detained.
An insanity warrant was issued for
her arrest a month ago, sworn to by
her cIassmate, Miss Mary Mcdonald, of
the Sisters hospital.
Miss Hawkins graduated from the
California hospital as a nurse two
years ago. Soon after her graduation
her friends began to notice that she
acted in a peculiar manner at times,
but was able to perform her duties and
was considered an excellent nurse.
In Bare Feet Upon Street
When not working at her profess
sion Miss Hawkins lived at 722 South
Hill street. Two months ago she was
found wandering about the streets
harefooted by Patrolman Tyler, who
sent her to the receiving hospital for
medical treatment. She remained a
short time.
Three weeks ago she disappeared and
until last night no trace Of her could
be found. In the meantime a warrant
for her arrest on the charge Of insan-
ity had been Issued.
She returned to her home at 722
South Hill street last night and had
lust left the house for a walk when she
was recognized by the policeman who
arrested her.
When questioned by the officer as to
where she had been in the last three
weeks she was unable to tell him any
thing. Her mind seemed to be blank
as to the past, but she became very
violent when placed in cell at the city
Jail.
The young womans parents were
notified last night that their daughter
had been found.

BUDDHIST TEMPLE
FOR Los ANGELES
MAGNIFICENT EDIFICE TO BE
BUILT
PRIESTS ARE MAKING PLANS
Dignitarles of Religious Order Come
to Angel City to Investigate
Conditions in Local

within four months a Buddhist
emple will be erected in Los Angeles
for the enlightenment of Americans and
the followers of Buddha," said Lord
Abbot Shen Shaku through an inter-
prefer to Herald reporter in his apart
ments at the Westminster hotel last
evening.
So prosperous has been the little
Buddhist mission" in it's quarters
at 2291s East Fourth street that it has
grown into a great congregation and
now, after much planning, all arrange
ments have been made to build tenn
pie
It means that Buddhism has become
firmly rooted in Los Angeles, SO well
established that it is no longer mis-
sion" in the sense of similar Christian
institutions in foreign lands. One year
ago there were three followers of Bud
dhism converted" from Christianity.
Now there are over fifty Americans
who have become followers of Buddha.
To gain consent of the head of the
Buddhist religion, Lord Abbot Shen
Shaku, in America, his reverence was
invited to Los Angeles to personally
investigate conditions, He arrived
yesterday and last evening spoke to an
audience of several hundred persons
at Turner hall.
Converts Three Americans
No small part of that conclave was
Americans and a greater part of the
white people present were followers of
Buddha, Converts of the local Bud
dhists. No mention was made of the
proposed plans, as all who are con-
cerned know of them.
The Lord Abbot spoke in the Japa-
nese tongue on the Essence of Bud
dhism," and when his discourse had
been translated into English three
Americans were made followers of the
Indian prophet.
I'm English you would say Lord Abb
bot Shaku and Superintendent Daisetsu
Sagaki came from San Francisco at our
invitation" said one of the dignitaries
of the local institution. 'They came to
speak to the followers of Buddha and
to make final arrangements for the
erection of the temple. They seem
greatly pleased with the progress made
by Rev. j. Izumimida and his follow
ers and we are happy to say we will
soon have a temple"
Plan Magnificent Temple
In all of it's oriental splendor and
magnificence, a temple to Buddha is to
be built, though the Japanese do not
like the word convert" it is for that
purpose the temple is to be erected.
They say the temple is to be built for
the earnest students of truth" and
the throng of converts who gather at
the service dispels the doubt that the
religion has no followers.
Several persons in the local congre-
cation are prominent in every day
walks of life-Americans well known
in the business world. They are earn
est believers in Buddhism and follow
the teachings with earnestness.
The priests make the statement that
Buddhism has come to stay and is pros
pering and growing with most startling
rapidity. Unless present plans mis-
carry, Los Angeles will have a magni-
fcent Buddhist temple and the only
distinctly oriental temple in the coun-
try.
Where it is to be located and how
much is to be expended for it's construc-
litely decline to communicate to the
public at present.

Urges Proper Legislation

"It is not my purpose to claim that
the Democratic party, subjected to the
temptation which has overcome the
other party during the last few years.
would have acted differently. But the
facts should be diligently sought that
the people may become so aroused that
they will insist upon legislation MAX
ing it a criminal offense for officers to
contribute corporate funds for political
purposes and depriving the apparently
successful candidates of their offices.
Efforts in that direction have been
making in different states since No
vember last and particularly in this
state But the Republican organiza-
ton would not consent to it so the
legislature defeated the bills. And the
organization never will consent until
an aroused public sentiment shall
threaten legislators with political OBJ
livion who fail to enact effective laws
upon the subject"

WOMAN PLAYS At
SOARING HUSBAND
DRAMATICALLY SMEARS HER
NECK WITH BLOOD
MAN SENDS IN HURRY CALL
Mrs. Mary Wheelen Temporarily Con-
vlnces Him That She Had At
tempted Suicide and Neigh
borhood Is Aroused

Great excitement was occasioned yes
terday afternoon in the vicinity of 1922
North Main street by the hurried ar
rival at that address of three police
men and two receiving hospital sur
geons in a patrol wagon, who rushed
mons by telephone.
The occasion was the result of
dramatic effort by Mrs. Mary Wheelen
to scare her husband, whom she al
leges had been amusing himself for
several hours during the day by kick
ing out seevral of her teeth.
Tiring of his peculiar form of amuse-
ment she calmly announced to him
that she proposed to end her existence
and went into the kitchen. A few
seconds later she screamed and, rush
ing into the front room. tragically fell
upon the floor at the feet of her hus-
band, blood streaming from what ap-
peared to be a terrible cash in her
throat extending from ear to ear"
Sends in Hurry Call
Thoroughly alarmed by the sight
which met his gaze and believing that
the wife of his bosom had carried out
her threat to kill herself, it is said
Wheelen rushed to the telephone and
in excited tones summoned the police,
receiving hospital surgeons and a patrol
wagon.
The hospital surgeons were amazed
when the woman sat up in the center
of the room and began to explain.
With the blood yet upon her neck, she
asserted that she had not injured her
self in the slightest degree. She ex-
planned that she cut her finger to Sc
cure a sufficient quantity of "bleed" for
the realistic part of the performance
and smeared it literally around her
neck.
By way of further explanation of her
remarkable pastime she is said to have
told the officers that her husband had
been out all the previous night, and
when he came home found it necessary
to be amused. She is said to have told
the police that he kicked her repeatedly
in the mouth, and she became tired of
the performance.

THE MODERN ORIGIN
OF VICTORIA SWINE
New Composite Breed Which Was
Produced i'm 1850 by Careful
CSp0SStnp

OfOSSlng.
The Victoria swine is a composite
breed of comparatively modern origin
There are two distinct branches OF
breeds that are called Victorias, and
have originated from two different in
dividuals, says the Detroit Live Stock
Journal. The older branch was orig
mated in Saratoga County, New York
by Colonel Frank D. Curtis, and denom-
mated a breed as early as 1850. 1t was
made UP of a combination Of the
blood of the Grazier, Byfield, York
shire and Suffolk. These bear close
resemblance to the Suffolk, except the
lack of the deep dish-in face.
The other was originated by George
Davis, Dyer, Lake County, Ind. They
are the outcome of the amalgamatior
of the Poland China, Chester Whites
Berkshires and Suffolks. They were
called a breed as early as 1870. They
appeared at the fairs in Indiana and
Illinois and at the Fat Stock Show in
Chicago, in 1878. They were acknowl-
edged as a distinct breed by the I'LL
nois State Board of Agriculture in 1882
Sine that time they have been quite
successful winners at the Fat Stock
Show, Chicago, and have received rec
ognition from several other State or
ganiZations.
The Victoria Swine Breeders Asso-
citation was organized in 1885, In 1887
the first volume of the register was
published and two subsequent volumes
have followed. From the small begin
nings the number Of animals recorded
has reached beyond 1900, which shows
that the breed is growing in populari-
ty. When we consider that only stock
that is likely to be kept for breeders
will be placed on record it is a good
showing.
The Victorias seem to occupy posi-
ton distinctively their own and are not
close imitators of the other breeds. In
size they are not the equal to the Po-
land China, but somewhat larger than
some of the so-called small breeds, de-
pending greatly on the individual In
whose hands they are reared. 1t ls
claimed that they are easily adapted to
surrounding conditions, and thrive
either in field or pen. We conclude from
a close examination and study of them
that they can be fattened in any age.
The superior feeding qualities, as well
as the quality of the meat, has been
proven by their winnings, in both live
and dead classes, at the fat stock shows
at Chicago.
In general appearance the Victorias
are strong and growthy, and in the
typical specimens are quite symmetri-
cal In outline. They are not quite Sc
large as the Berkshires, nor do they
seem to- as yet, equal them in uniform
ity. They are white. while the Berk-
shire is black with white points. The
originator once declared that he had
produced the model hog, guaranteed
to reproduce itself white. Baltimore

LONDON CAB DRIVERS
FINDING POOR BUSINESS
Little Call for Them and Little
Money, Though Work
Is Hard.

There are in London 2711 cab pro-
prietors and of these 2224 own fewer
than five vehicles. AS you see, it is
poor mans industry. There is only
one large company-the London I'M
proved Cab Company, which owns 500
cabs; the Earl of Shrewsbury and Tai
bot, who was once a large owner, went
out of business. In the main, then.
the small proprietor-the "mush''-
who owns a few cabs and drives one
himself, controls the trade. The aver
age price for hiring a cab is lis Sd a
day. In addition the cabman has to
pay the yard fees. He gets two horses
a day and is usually fourteen hours on
the box. His license costs him shil-
lings a year. The tax Of 22 on the
cab and the Is shillings wheel duty are
paid by the owner.
Taking it day in and day out the
cabby makes about shillings day.
In the season he may take in more
money, but as the hire is raised on
him it comes to the same, thing. If he
Is not content-and there Is no reason
why he should be-he does not grumble
unduly. Every day in London 120, 900
people ride in cabs. OF course there is
friction and there is a great deal of
noisy quarreling over fares. but, so
far ns my experience goes, the cabby
is usually right in his estimate of the
distance he has travelled and the
money that Is due him.
The cab horses are q good lot. They
are worked six hours day on an
average. About three years in a han
som, however, will do UP the best of
them. Then they drift down to the
four wheelers. A melancholy vehicle,
that. You remember. do you not.
Gregers in Ibsen's wild Duck, whose
unhappy destiny 1t was to be. always
thirteenth at table? 1t is the gloomy
function of the four wheeler to follow
with the luggage" At best it never
rises higher than the function of
freighting home roysterers and bad
husbands, night wasters and cordial,
ignoble girls. A, melancholy destiny.
The driver of a four-wheeler pays
less cab rent-6 or 7 shilling a day-but
his earning power, is less than that of
the aristocratic of the craft; he Is the
dickey. Usually he is a weedy old man
who has looked out on life through
red-lidded eyes so long and has come
to know 1t so well that the milk of
human kindness in him is mere curds
and whey. He is essentially a crea-
ture of the fog and night. Mankind,
as he knows 1t, is either coming away
from a railroad station with too much
luggage or going home sodden or riot
Gus with too much drink. Why should
he have confidence in his fellew men
He and not Edgar Saltus should have
written the Philosophy of Disenchant-
ment." His melancholy destiny is to
go through life trying to detect pewter
half -crowns.-N Outing.
