MINISTER BELIEVES
CASE Is MURDER
cORONER'S JURY SAYS MAN DIED
OF UNKNOWN CAUSE
Mystery of Mexican Found Dead at
Watts Station Deepens - Pacific
Electric Says Car Did Not Strike
Victim

Evidence introduced at the inquest
on the death of Cruz Vargas yesterday
raised question whether the man was
murdered.
Vargas was found lying near the car
tracks at Watts station several days
ago and brought to the city. He died
several hours later at the receiving
hospital.
Pacific Electric officials claimed that
the man was not struck by any car,
nor was it thought that he had fallen
from his seat
The coroners jury yesterday brought
in a verdict of death from unknown
causes" and did not probe the mystery.
Rev. Albert d. Fitch, a passenger on
the car that conveyed the injured man
to the city, was convinced that it was
case of murder. He said that the
man lay with one hand raised as if to
protect himself from murderous
blow.
r. Reed, another passenger, held a
similar opinion.
The police are trying to locate a
Mexican who was seen near the scene
of the accident who is thought to know
something about the mystery.
Vargas skull was fractured 1t might
have been done by a blow from some
blunt instrument. He had no bruises
as would have been the case If struck
by a car.

Organize Skating Club

Los Angeles society is organizing a
skating club, the inevitable result of the
really enormous interest local leaders
of the smart set have manifested in
the skating craze. The new club is to
be known at the Tuesday Night Skating
club. The committee in charge of the
clubs organization is composed of Will
liam M. Garland. DR.. w Jarvis Barlow.
Burton Green, Fred Flint, jr., Robert
Flint, Captain, A. G. Jones, o. p. Posey,
Jr, Warren Carhart, Fred M. Phelps.
M. M. Potter, Charles Henderson. w. A.
Barker, John ID. Foster, Dr. Cochran
and Frank Thomas. The club has made
arrangements with the management of
the Panorama skating rink whereby it's
members will have the exclusive use
of the big rink on Tuesday night of
each week. Cards of invitation have
been sent to several hundred society
people who have shown fondness for
roller skating, and with these invita-
tions has gone printed list of all the
invited guests. Persons whose names
fail to appear on the invited list will be
unable to secure admission to the Pan
Drama on Tuesday nights. The idea is
to make the Tuesday Night Skating
club a decidedly exclusive affair." in
which the general public will enjoy none

What might have been disastrous
fire "Wednesday afternoon at the Union
Oil company's plant at Sixth and Mateo
streets was averted by the ready re-
sronse of engine company No. II and
the rapid work Of the employees of the

The fire was first seen in the grass
near the large storage oil tanks and
was probably started by a lighted
cigarette thrown in the dry grass which
surrounds one of the tanks. From the
grass the flames spread to a crude oil
pool, and by the time the engine ar
rived it had spread to a trestle adjoin-
ing the tanks
Little damage was done, but as 10000
barrels of oil were within ten feet Of

WOMAN CURSES
CHURCH MEMBERS
RELIGIOUS ZEAL UPSETs HER
SANITY
Long Beach Girl Suffering From
overwork Manfests Intense
Hatred for the Tenets Her
Father Adheres To

Charging that intense religious zeal
had made her mad, poor little BERTHE
Harris of Long Beach was taken to the
county hospital yesterday to await an
insanity examination in the superior
court.
Deputy Constable L. w. Folsom, who
accompanied the unfortunate girl, said
that she used frightful profanity and
cursed religion and church peoplei in q
way that made him shudder.
1T was pitiful to hear that poor girl
swear" declared the officer, who has
wide experience in all kinds of criml-
nal and insane cases.
Miss Harris evidently is suffering
from overwork. she said that she be-
came crazy after her fathers desire to
have her conform to his peculiar tenets.
OF course L don't know anything
about the truth OF her accusations, but
1t made me feel very sorry for the girl"
Daughter Of Physician
Miss Harris is 90 years of age. She
is the daughter of DR.. Charles Harris,
a former physician in Indian Territory.
1t is said that the father is man Of
great piety and well regarded by church
people.
Father and daughter have been
boarding in Long Beach for some time
and Miss Harris recently exhibited
symptoms of mental trouble.
1t is thought that overwork was the
predisposing cause and q course Of
theatment at hospital is expected to
restore her to her right mind.
But the peculiar phase of her insan-
ity is somewhat remarkable. say those
who know her. once devout, she now
entertains bitter hatred toward the
churches and says with curses that
her father made her a maniac by fore
ing her into religious ways.
Though DR.. Harris refuses to discuss
the case, his friends say no coercion
was used regarding his daughters be-
lief and that it is but another evidence
Of the girl's>delusion.
