the trail to Mount Wilson into Eatons
canyon, north of Pasadena, the body
of an unidentified man was picked up
by fellow employees on the trail short
ly after dark last night.

he survived while being carried three
miles on a hastily prepared stretcher
and eight miles farther in the ambu-
lance of the Pasadena hospital, which
had been sent for, but he died as he
was being carried through the door
into the hospital
The man was one of a gang of
workmen employed at widening the
trail up the side of Mount Wilson. His
work was to lift heavy boulders by
means of a lever. This he was doing
when the lever slipped and he fell
over the side of the canyon. His
fellow -workmen who witnessed the ac-
cident stood in horror watching the
body as it fell through the air onto
the. rocks beneath. They ran to his
aid.
He was not well known to them and
they could not tell his name.
The coroner's office in Los Angeles
was notified and an inquest will be
held this morning.

CIVIC FEDERATION
HOLDS MEETING
Fifth Annual Convention STARTS With
Many Prominent People in At
tendance-Discuss In-
functions
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-With well
nigh 250 persons in attendance the
National Civic federation began its
fifth annual meeting today In the Park
avenue hotel. Among those present
were Andrew Carnegie. Cornelius N.
Bliss James Speyer, August Belmont,
president of the federation. Mr.. Bel
mont, in his opening address, urged
the appointment of committee to in
vestigate the problems growing out OF
the accumulation of great fortunes.
This subject will be considered tomor-
row.
Government by injunction was char
acterized by Mr.. Belmont as "a burn
ing subject to be discussed" He said
he was not sure that President
Roosevelt's proposition for compul-
sorry investigation of industrial dis
turbances is advisable. Mr. Belmont
also called attention to the portion of
President Roosevelt's message wherein
the president denounced the effort to
prohibit all combination of capital.
The federation then took up the
government by Injunction question.
| Carl Spelling, general attorney for the
! American Federation of Labor, said
today that In labor disputes judges
have sent forth DEGREES which were
special legislation and have paralyzed
and rendered abortive all the efforts
on the part of the labor side of the
dispute. An injunction, he said, should
never be granted except to protect
property or property rights.

ARGUE EIGHT-HOUR CASE
United Railways Explain Why They
Cannot Grant Shorter Hours
to Men
Rv Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-7Evi-
dence to determine the difficulties con-
fronting the United railways in re-
habilitating it's service after the fire
was submitted this morning before the
board of arbitration that is hearing
the demands of the men for shorter
hours and more pay.
E. d. Hibbs, general superintendent
of the system, was the first witness
on behalf of the company. He gave
an elaborate statement which he had
prepared in reference to the two sub
jects of increase of work and increase
of pay.
This statement was submitted for
the purpose of showing how many cars
were operated before the fire and how
many are in operation at the present
time.
He stated that in March the COM
pany had in operation 256 miles, while
in July Uhree months after the fire.
1926 miles were in operation.
This left a decrease of 20 1-15 per
cent, and the company contends that
it replaced the heavier roads first,
leaving the lighter traffic roads for
later work.
On this basis the company accounts
for the natural increase of traffic on
the roads now being operated. He
contended that the company could not
afford to grant shorter hours to its
men.
Attorney A. A. Moore for the rail-
road company will begin his final ex-
animation of witnesses late this after
noon.

TOURIST FROM
CANADA ENDS
HIS LIFE

| . -. i : 2 r. :. i W.
After Tying IN a pool or blood for
thirty-three hours, the body of Reuben
Fletcher, visitor from Toronto. Can
ada, was found on the floor of his room
at 703h Central avenue at $3.50 last
night, by Charles Cavanaugh, son of
the landlady.
Fletcher apparently stood in front
of the mirror in the bureau and placed
the revolver to his right eye. 1t is
thought he fired the shot at II O'Clock
tuesday morning, for at that time
a report was heard, but as no noise
followed it, the roomers who heard
1t did not make an investigation. The
bullet pierced his brain and it came
out just in front of the right ear.
1t is thought Fletcher was despond-
ent on account of ill health. He had
been treating with physicians for
stomach trouble for some time. He
was thirty-five years of age and is
thought to have been married He
came to Los Angeles three months
ago and had made his home at the
place where he ended his life A short
note which he left is addressed to Mr..
Cavanaugh was found and reads:
"Mr. Cavanaugh: In case anything
happens to me kindly notify L. j.
Adams, South 1907; Howard and
Smith, Ninth and Olive, or DIR. S. S.
Salisbury REUBEN FLETCHER"
This note was complied with and the
men spoken to stated that they were
only slightly acquainted with Fletcher
They said he always appeared to be
a man of means who was travelling for
his health.
Fletcher entered his room after it
had been cleaned, about 10 O'Clock
Tuesday morning. 1t was unnecessary
for the landlady to go near it again
during the day. Yesterday morning
she endeavored to gain entrance for
the purpose of cleaning it. but she
found the door locked. Last night she
Informed her husband and he at last
succeeded in opening the door with

he found the body of Fletcher lying in
front of the bureau, with his head in
a pool of blood. The note he had writ
ten was lying beside his body. The
pistol which had been used was on
the bureau and 1t was apparent that
the man had stood in front of the
mirror when he aimed the weapon.
The coroner was notified and an in.
quest will be held this morning.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE day Of grace
granted to the churches of Paris in
the plan of the law providing for the
separation of church and state post
pones until tomorrow the measure for
it's enforcement.
The delay, however, has only served
to increase the excitement caused by
the expulsion from France yesterday
of Monsignor Montagnini, secretary of
the papal nuneiature at Paris.
Begin Prosecutions
Prosecutions have been begun
against the ultramontaine abbes of
the churches of st. Pierre du Gros Call
lou st. Augustine and st. Roche, where
the greatest resistance to the taking of
the inventories occurred, and it has
been decided Immediately to take over
the buildings belonging to the eccle-
siastics, stop the pensions of the clergy,
compel aspirants to the priesthood to
fill their military obligations and, if
necessary, treat the clergy as subjects
of a foreign power.
This constitutes sufficient demon
stration of the spirit with which the
government intends to meet resistance.
The reception of Premier Clemen-
ceau's speeih in the chamber of depu-
ties last night also shows that he has

M. Clemenceau was careful to say that
