SAN DIEGO, Sept 12-Every indica-
tion locally points to a record break
ing tourist travel to Southern Califor-
MIA this winter. Manager Ross Of the
Coronado hotel says that the outlook
Is surprising; practically all the old
people are coming back and the num-
ber of inquiries Is far ahead of any
previous year. While there is usually
nc heavy patronage until January
there are signs Of a heavy December
this year, while many guests will ar
rive as early as the middle Of Novem-
500, 900 are planned.
Mayor Sehon returned to the city
clerk without his approval two meas
ures passed by the city council at it's

ditional men on the street force and
the other relates to the grading of
Twenty eighth street.
Second Lieut.. Carpenter of the
Twenty-eighth company, coast artil-
lery, has been ordered to assume

quartermaster general, of the construc-
ton work at Fort Rosecrans. This is

Capt. l.. B. Hackleman of the Y. M.

names on his list of those who are try

Gets Safely Across the Border
From the porch of Joe Padilla's hotel
at Tia Juana, A. T. Andrews, who kid
naped his four-year-o son from the
home of his wife in Escondido on Sun
Cay morning, is able TO laugh at his
pursuers whose authority stops at the
boundary line two miles away.
Andrews is a machinist and has been
employed in the Santa Fe shops in
San Bernardino. Several months ago
he was separated from his wife, and
the woman went to live with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. B. l<ies of Es-
condido. She was granted the custody
of the boy, Truman, and the husband,
~ t., 4
day, however, he appeared in Escon-
dido, and finding Mr.. Kies and the boy
near the gate, he engaged them in con-
versation. A ride for the three was
proposed, and while the grandfather
was hitching up Andrews picked up
the boy and ran down the road to
where he had horse and buggy hid
den. He then drove with the child to
Encinitas and through National City
across the boundary line.
Registration at the city schools now
shows total enrolment of 3218 pupils,
460 of whom are in the high school.
The employment of two teachers in
some of the crowded rooms has to be
resorted to, and in many cases hall
ways and even the play grounds are
used as recitation rooms. A special
meeting of the board Of education will
be called to see what can be done to-
ward relieving the congestion.
The inspection committee appointed
by the Taft board of expense is expect
ed to arrive in San Diego very shortly.
The committee consists of Brigadier
General Alexander Mackenzie, Major
General Story and Brigadier General
Mills.
| From letters received here it is learn
| ed that DIR. H. S. Jordan, who was
recently called to the First Presbyte-
rian church of this city from New
Castle, Penn, is having trouble getting
away from his present charge. He
rendered his resignation but the con-
gregation refused to release him from
the pastorate and he was compelled to
appeal to the presbytery which meets
this week at Shenango.
The two companies of coast artil-
lery at Fort Rosecrans are spending
this week In camp under the guns,
instead of the more comfortable bar
rack buildings a few hundred yards
away. There are seventy-two officers
and men in camp and they are taking
this week for a little actual experience
| In war drill.
