Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, July 1.-THE
police scandal, which has been the main
topic of conversation in official circles
here for two or three weeks, has been
brought to a close by the city council
discharging Policemen W. II. Hurley
and j. b. Retiring "for the good of the
service" James West has been APP
pointed on the force. The other va
cancy will not be filled at once.
Mayor Barton discussed the charges
in a special message to the council in
which he plainly stated that the charges
of graft and rea tions with women of
the red light district on the part of
the officers had not been proven. But
there has been certain admissions made
by the officers themselves which al
lowed to go unnoticed could but mill
tate against the discipline of the entire
police department, therefore he recon-
mended their dismissal
To avoid such incidents in the police
department in the future, set of rules
and regulations for the conduct of Of
ficers, and a detective bureau will be
established at once. The personality
of the detectives will only be known
to Chief Shay and they will work di-
rectly under his direction.
The war on the red light denS will
| eb renewed and it is believed, with
| the known leak in the police depart
ment stopped, that something can be
accomplished in the way of convictng
of illegal liquor sales and other irregu-
larities that are known to be carried on
in the red light section.

PROJECT GAINS STRENGTH
Convention Hall Committee Has
Ralsd About $4,000 to
Buy Site

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July ia meeting of
the west side property owners Inter-
ested In keeping the proposed conven-
ton hall I'm that section Of the city,
was held this evening at the board of
trade rooms to consider just what steps
shall be taken tomorrow to help raise
the needed money for buying the
Carmelita property.
About forty business and professional
men were present and the entire mat
ter was discussed i'm all of Its bear
ings. Advance reports from the MEM
bers of the committee soliciting money
showed that between $4,000 and $40,000
Is now In sight.
The day has added several encourage
ing subscriptions to those hitherto OBJ
tained and most of the gentlemen pres
ent tonight left the gathering en-
couraged as to the ultimate success of
the project
Work will be redoubled tomorrow
along certain lines suggested tonight,
and when the committee meets tomor-
row evening 1t is believed that at least
$50, 900 will be in sight.
With this amount pledged the COM
mittee will feel safe in bidding for the
property and If the price goes to a
higher figure, will probably raise the
bid, possibly as high as 100000, ex-
pecting to raise the additional money
afterwards.

WATER IN ABUNDANCE
NEAR SAN BERNARDINO
Special to The Herald.

SAN BERNARDINO, July lit has
been many years nee the mountain
streams flowing into this valley have
carried as much water in July as this
year.
Lytle creek and the Santa Ana river,
as we'll as all of the smaller streams,
are carrying large volumes of water,
where at this season the beds are
usually dry after getting away short
distance from the mouths of the can
yons
The reason for this is the very heavy
fall of snow in the mountains, especially
the higher attitudes, where the hot
weather of the last few days has been
causing it to melt. Then, too, the
heavy rainfalls all winter and spring
have filled the earth with water and
this is seeping out into the streams.
There will be no water shortage in
this section this year.

SAN PEDRO, July 1.-THE city
printing problem, over which there has
been so much trouble the past six
weeks, failed Of settlement last night
at the trustees meeting, because the
newspapers did not offer bids according

The bids, somewhat lower in figures
than at the previous time, are consid-
cred exorbitant yet by the officials, and
1t Is not known what will be done
about it.
The whole thing was referred to the

the right arm in Capelle Valley, Mon
day afternoon, he deliberately cut the
flesh from his arm, sucked the wound
until he was hardly able to stand. drank
great quantity of whisky, and then.
though suffering agonies, jumped into
rig and drove all night to seek medi-
cal aid. His pluck will probably save
his life
few days ago Baxter went to the

In vineyard. While he was engaged
among the vines Monday afternoon
about o'clock the snake bit him.
When he felt the deadly fangs sink into
his flesh Baxter drew a knife from his
belt and began cutting the flesh from
his arm until the bone was exposed
Though the agony was almost unbear
able he tied a light cord above the
wound to prevent the flow of blood and
sucked the wound until he could
hardly stand. Staggering from weak
ness he succeeded In getting to the
Pearch mansion where he imbibed a
quantity of whisky, and getting a
horse and buggy began his journey to
Napa.
At the various farm houses along the
road Baxter begged for whisky. He
managed to reach DR.. Leachs offlce
this afternoon. after travelling all night,
and was given treatment to stimulate
the heart action. He is in bed at DR..
Leachs residence and at last accounts
was resting easy.
