srecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, July H.-More than 5000
persons sat along the beach under a
broiling sun for about two hours this
afternoon while the first race in the
third annual regatta of the South Coast
Yacht club was being contested in a
breeze unworthy of the name.
The race, which was the only yacht
ing event on today's program, was one
of two miles over triangular course
and it brought out four yachts. Starter
B. b. Gregory sent the vessels over the
line at LAS, and it was l hour 3S min
utes and 30 seconds later when the
Mischief II repassed The winning
yacht was handled by Captain Walter
Folsom, its owner. The Monsoon, Cap
tain j. T. Paugh, crossed the line 4
minutes and seconds after the Mis-
chief II, and was followed by Skiddoo
Captain c. II. Wedgwood, and DIANA
Captain Grover Garland.
AT $50 in the evening the yachts
men. as the guests of the Country club,
were present at a banquet aboard the
hotel ship Cabrillo which was followed
by the attendance in a body of the en-
tire party, numbering about $50 per-
sons, 1t the auditorium, where THE
Toy Ship" a play for the benefit and
under the auspices of the Crescent Bay
Woman's club, was the attraction.

BOARD ACCOMPLISHES LITTLE
Pasadena Protestants Get Scant At
tention by the Board of
Equalization
Specill to The Herald.

PASADENA, July 21.-At late hour
last night the sessions of the board of
equalization came to an abrupt end.
Out of the 1913 protests filed the board
is on record as rejecting all but twenty
four.
These twonty-four secured a total cut
on their assessments to the amount of
$l65,340.
None of the discussions by which the
board arrived at its published con-
clusions were made upblic and none of
the reasons for rejecting the numerous
petitions are known
That the board did desire to make
further reductions is shown by an opin-
ion of the city attorney which the
board asked for and which at its de-
sire is incorporated in the minutes in
which that official states that the
board has 70 power to make a proper
uonate reassessment of any district
There is much dissatisfaction at the
action of the board. for never in the
history of the city has there been as
loud protests over the work of the city
assessor as this year.
There is still a possibility that the
city council may recognize the situa-
ton by a sweeping. reduction in the
| tax rate, a step which would accom-
plish what a failure of the board of
equalization to act did not accomplish.
The largest single reductions author
lied by the board were as follows:
First Church of Christ. scientist. S17.-
| 900, presumably upon the church or
ganization proving that its Colorado
street frontage is being used for
church purposes and is therefore not
subject to taxation; North Pasadena
Land & Water company. $4,000 for its
| franchise; Pasadena Land & Water
company, $4,000 for its franchise: the
oak Knoll company $4,000 Pasadena
other reductions were comparatively
small. 1t Is believed that the total tax
roll viii reach "A hit over 3G,000,000.

Through years of study of the soul of
man and the occult sciences, Madame
L. C. Stanley has demonstrated to the
scientific world her power to separate
the astral body from that of the physi-
cal body, seeing strange lands thou
sands of miles away with the astral or
spirit body, while the physical body
lay as dead upon a couch.
After years of study and scientific
research in occult science and spirit
manifestations, she discovered spirit
photography, or a means by which the
dear departed one could be photo
graphed beside the subject sitting for
picture. However, this has not been
perfected to a state where the astral
or spirit form can be photographed as
accurately as the form of the physical
body, though perfect enough for recog-
milton. Mrs. L. c. Stanley has a num-
ber of these spirit photographs taken
for people occupying high professional
and social positions, and takes great
pleasure in showing them to her spirit
ualistic callers and those scientifically
inclined to investigate and study-to
them-a most wonderful phenomena.
Another feature of her great power
is the psychometry of mineral ore. She
can tell you the character of the ore,
describe the character of the country
from whence it came, can tell you
whether or not from a mineral belt or
ledge and can locate the ledge from the
ore sample. Miners have been extended
cordial invitation by Madame l.. C.
Stanley to- bring their ore samples and
! let her psychometrize the rock, thus
demonstrating her power beyond a
doubt.
Her readings from photographs.

father, brother or son, aunt, mother or

PASADENA, July 21.-Wise second
thought on the part of a young Pasa-
dena damsel this evening prevented the
exploiting of d beautiful little scandal
through the channels of the local police
courts.
The present roller skating craze has
hlled the rink in this city day and even
ing and has taken all sorts of people
to swell the crowd of skaters there.
Late this afternoon well known
rink took off her skates and made
cort.
Before doing so she stepped into an
anteroom and coming out left her en-
gagement ring lying beside the wash
bowl. She noticed its absence at once
and hurried back only to find that 1t
was missing from the place where she
laid 1t d moment before
Another we'll known young woman
had been in the room at the same time,
but when looked for had left for home.
1t was delicate position.
Constable Austin was communicated
with and suspicion pointing to no one
else he sent n deputy to interview the
young woman last seen in the room,
She Indignantly denied having taken
the ring, but when confronted with a
threatened arrest broke down and sur
rendered the ring
This accomplished it was decided not
to go any further.
Constable Austin refuses to give the
names of the two young women and
the people at the rink are equally re-
ticent, fearing the notoriety which
might follow.
The young woman who found the
ring and quietly slipped it into her
glove while she walked out of the rink
has no excuse to offer for the action
other than that she thought that find
ing was keeping"
The engagement ring which was so
promptly restored to it's owner was an
unusually large opal surrounded by
eight fine pearls.

TO CONNECT BAY
WITH THE OCEAN
REPORT FAVORABLE TO LONG
BEACH PROJECT
Major Arthur l. Sondregger, Chief
Engineer of the Dock and Ter

Outlet to the Sea
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH. Juiy H-At an ad
journed session of the council last night
a report was received from Major Arthur
l.. Sondregger. chief engineer of the Dock
and Terminal company, who recently was
employed to assist the city engineer IN
making complete survey of certain ter
ritory in the San Gabriel valley included
in the plans of the Terminal company for
the special purpose of establishing
whether or not the natural mouth of the
river could again be made an open water
passage to the ocean.
The report included a complete dis
cussion of the San Gabriel river in re-
gard to navigation and drainage, and
recommendations for the improvement of
the same 1t stated in conclusion:
by the maintenance of a dam and a
trestle across the natural outlet of the
San Gabriel river conditions have been
created which greatly impair its naviga-
bility and that of the Cerritos slough and
the Wilmington channel and which make
the efficient drainage of the adjoining
lands impossible
1T is therefore recommended to estab-
lish a direct outlet of the river by dred-
bay and an outlet channel of ample ca
pacity to connect this basin with the
ocean.
Further to undertake the necessary
steps for the removal of the trestle
bridge of the Salt Lake railroad
Dana Burks, president of the Terminal
company, was asked in what manner the
council could assist in carrying out the
recommendations of the report. That
gentleman replied that if the council
would adopt the report the company
would willingly comply with any ordi-
nance which might be passed by the
board The report was by resolution re-
| ferred to the city attorney and he was
| instructed to prepare a suitable ordinance
covering the matter
Mr. Burks stated that Capt. Fries
| United States engineer at Los Angeles
had been holding up his report to the
chief engineer at Washington for the
purpose of including therein a copy oi
! Mayor Sandregger's report, and also the
| report of the action taken thereon by the
| Long Beach trustees.
The attitude of the trustees is gen
orally commended as 1t shows that they
will give the inner harbor project theh
/ earnest support.

RIVERSIDE, July 21.-A telegram was
received here this afternoon announcing
that Charles St George Williams, who
escaped from Sheriff Coburn and Marshal
Shaw at San Luis Obispo yesterday
morning, had been recaptured.
Williams and Welbourn, another pris-
oner being taken TO San Quentin for
burglary, were fastened together with leg
irons. Williams, who is an adept crook,
managed to get loose from the combina-
ton and dived through the window while
the train was going full speed. He ef-
fected an easy escape into the hills.
Sheriff Coburn went on with his other
prisoners after notifying the officers at
San Luis Obispo.
Deputy Sheriff McFadden made the
capture of the escaped prisoner. Dis
guised as a hobo, he took the train north
which followed the freight train which
it was believed William would board. AS
suspected the colored man sought the
brakerods. The train on which the deputy
sheriff rode overlook the freight and the
capture was made at the point of a re-
volver. Sheriff Coburn was notified and
will make another attempt to land his
man behind the bars
Williams had to be subdued with a hose
before the irons could be placed on him
when he left for the north.

Early in the forenoon the Salt Lake
trains began to come down with their
loads of people. By noon four train
loads had pulled in and 1000 people
stepped off.
There was a great scramble for ,ableS
and shade trees and a general spread
ing out of lunches which were not long
in being dispatched and then the fun
began. A person strolling over the
ground Immediately after the dinner
hour could scarcely step without
crunching a chicken. bone or slipping
on a watermelon rind. 1t is stated
whole carload of watermelons were
demolished.
Bathing suits were in demand and
it was not long until every one in the
bath house locker was in Use.
Some of the thirsty ones soon came
over to San Pedro md went back with
sacks of suspicious size and towards
evening there was mirth of a more bos-
ferrous brand than that of pure joy
of the regular picnic kind.
A special Long Beach officer patrolled
the beach with :. huge club, but he had
little to do. once or twice there was
a razor flashed and at one time two
youths from Long Beach who had come
to see the fun but were not of the same
