PARIS, May 14.-The Equitable Life
scandal begins to stir public opinion
in France, and a letter to the Gil Bias
remarks that it is highly undesirable
to the interests and security of policy
holders that such large funds be at
Mr.. Hydes mercy, to be employed in
speculations, either personal, such as
are venturesome, or In liquidation of
such fantastic bills as the famous $125
a head dinner. The writer maintains
that this dinner, charged to the pub
lie account, had as it's sole object to
make young Hyde Chevalier of the
Legion of Honor, an ambition which
was realized few months later.
The writer also inquiries if the num-
berless dinners and coaching parties
offered by Mr.. Hyde were also carried
to the publicity account.
Calling at the Office of the Equitable
Life in this city, correspondent found
silence from Mr.. Peixoto down. Album
dance of gossip floats about in the
American colony, all of which reduces
itself to the fact that Mr.. Hyde lived
the normal life of a young millionaire
while in Paris, maintaining a sump-
tuous hotel, with the accompaniment
of automobiles, splendid dinners and
theater parties, but he was conspicu-
Gus among the wealthy by his artistic
tastes, his cult of poets, artists and
sayants especially his enthusiasm for
the propagation of the French lam
guage and literature by means of the
Alliance Francaise in America, of
which he is vice president. You may
meet at his table actresses and variety
singers, also some of the most serious
men in France, financiers, senator's
and ministers.

HARMSWORTH'S FATAL AUTO
Reward Offered by Newspaper Hits
the Proprietor's Brother


Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 14.-The extraordin
ary series of fatal and serious acct
dents to pedestrians caused by motor
cars in the Easter holidays has
aroused a renewed clamor for severer
penalties for reckless driving. On
April 10 a 1O-year-old boy was killed
outright by a car passing through the
quiet village of Markyate. The driver.
instead of stopping, accelerated his
pace, and for five days every effort to
trace the car failed, thought the Daily
Mail offered a reward of $500 for in
formation.
On Saturday last Hildebrand Harms
worth, younger brother of Sir Alfred,
owner of the Daily Mail, informed
the police he believed that his was the
missing car, and his chauffeur sur
rendered, declaring he thought the car
had barely touched the boy, leaving
him uniniured. Hildebrand Harms
worth was not in the car at the time,
which was occupied by two friends.
The Daily Mail announced that under
the circumstances the reward would
not be paid, and the chauffeur is now
awaiting trial without bail

PASADENA, May 14.-Word was re-

this city had became deranged while at
San Bernardino and that the authori-
ties there have confined him In hos
pital. The news came in telephone
message from the city marshal of San

request that Mrs. Kloeckner be advised
of her husbands condition. A messen-
ger conveyed the news t. her at their

left for San Bernardino at o'clock this
afternoon.
The cause of Kloeckner's sudden de-
rangement is not fully known at this
time. He left Pasadena last Thursday
to work at his trade as an electrician
Mrs. Kloeckner was much affected
while waiting for the train. "If Henry
has gone insane it is because he has
worked too hard" she said. between
sobs. He has not been feeling well
but his mind has always been bright.
She had no other reason to give for his

Saturday Night Concerts
That there will be Saturday night
band concerts is no longer doubtful as
the merchants have responded to the

with the subscription list and not one
has opposed it. Mayor Waterhouse has
become interested in the project and he
not only heads the subscription paper

1t is probable that the canvass will be
completed and sufficient funds guaran-
teed to begin concerts with the coming

GARBAGE MAY BE CALLED UP
Many Requests From Various Civic
Departments to Be consid-
cred by the City
Fathers
GARBAGE MAY BE CALLED UP

The city council will be asked to call
an election to submit the question of
Issuing S50O000 bonds, with which to
build a public library in Central park,
at this mornings session.
The library board believes that In so
much as the people of the city have
voted to put the building in this park
the bonds necessary for the construc-
tion of the building. The library can
not long remain in its present quarters,
as the room allotted to 1t Is insult
cient and is also needed by the other
departments in the city hall, which are
sible to transact business which falls to
them.
The requisition from the fire commits
sion will also be acted upon today.
The fire department wants 10000 feet
OF fire hose, three new engines and
six more combination hose carts and
chemical engines. Chief Lips also
wants the positions of two battalion
chiefs created in the department.
The Garbage Question
1t is probable that the garbage ques-
tion will again be opened, as the report
cf Roderick Mckay, the engineer sent
east by the city to investigate the op-
Grafton of garbage crematories there,
will be received. Three bids for garb-
age destruction plants of 200 tons daily
capacity are now before the council
and action upon them has been defer
red until the report of Mckay is ready.
Bids will also be opened by the coun-
Gil this morning for the city printing
contract for the next fiscal year.
Councilmen have been investigating
the new salary ordinances, which were
drawn on account of the new ruling of
the civil service commission, and 1t is
considered more than likely that some
of these ordinances may be recalled by
the citys legislative body for recon-
sideration.

RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR.

The Japanese bombarded PutilOff and
Novgorod hills, the key to the Russian
center, with 11-inch guns from Port Ar
thur. and the defenses are crumbling
1t is believed in St. Petersburg that these
positions must be abandoned by Kuro-
patkin.
Gen. Stoessel arrived in St. Petersburg
and found few military men to welcome
him. There was lack of genuine en-
thusiasm in his reception.
The Japanese are shelling Mukden
with 11-inch mortars. The lombard
ment has caused great damage far be-
hind the Russian lines. The Japanese
crossed the Shakhe river, having driven
in the pickets of the Russian vanguard.
Russian supports came up and stopped
the Japanese advance. Kuropatkin, in a
dispatch to St. Petersburg, admits the
Japanese have turned both flanks of his
army.
Battle ragged along the whole front, a
distance of 100 miles, and though the
Russians are said to have checked the
Japanese, their stand may be only to
cover a retreat and abandonment of
Mukden.
