FINDS NEW CLEN
IN LINK MURDER
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, May S0.-Marshal Reid of
South Pasadena, who is working hard to
find the murderer of James A. Logan, the
crime having been committed within the
limits of South Pasadena, has come to
the conclusion that the stains on the hand
kerchief found recently near the place of
the murder are not blood.
He has taken the piece of cloth the
rounds of the local laundries in hope of
learning the owner but without success.
Now that he has decided on the true
character of the stains there appears to
be no further reason for connecting the
handkerchief with the murder.
The article, he thinks, was lost by some
person playing golf on the Raymond
links and as such will no longer be con-
Sidered as clue.
Marshal Reid has also discovered the
identity of the yelled woman found look
ing over the ground and is positive that
the two women, formerly believed to be
one and the same, are entirely different,
one of them being white and the other a
negreSS.
The negress, it is suggested, knows a
great deal about the puffer with which
the desperate blow was struck on Logan
head. but has probably seen the instru-
ment at the police station.
AS he goes deepr into the case it ap-
pears increasingly mysterious to Marshal
Reid, as indeed it does to others who are
investigating it,
Nothing Was Stolen
A curious fact developed today. Moth
ing as far as can be learned was stolen
from Logans body except his bunch of
keys. On the key ring Logan carried four
keys, one to his own room, one to his
trunk, one to the Marsh store and one
to the private business office of Mr.
Marsh. Three keys are gone and al
though the dead mans pockets had been
turned inside out and his money,
amounting to S5 cents, lay on the ground
beside the body, that appears to be all
that is missing.
The finding of the bloody cork lying with
the money on the ground is another clue
which the officers have been puzzling
over.
In spite of the numerous so-caled finds
in connection with the case the possi-
bility of an arrest appears to be as distant
as ever and many of those studying the
situation confess that they are just as
wise as they were at the first and no
more.

SAN PEDRO, May SO.-At the regular
meeting Of the city council last night
communications were received from j. A.
Butler, the president Of the annexation
committee of Los Angeles, the president
of the local chamber of commerce and
others, asking that a committee of five
be appointed by that board to meet with
the like committee appointed by the local
chamber of commerce and confer with the
regard to a proposition being submitted
to the city here with that purpose in
view.
After some discussion of the matter

ally prevailed and the members were ap-
pointed as follows: Judge Henry 3.
Downing, the present city attorney;
Miner p, Goodrich, John A. Anderson,
William Burke and John 7. Gaffey.
The new committee, all representative
men and property owners, will study the
question thoroughly before making a re-
port. None of these men appointed by the
board has expressed himself in a decided
manner IN either way concerning the
question, but each has said that he is for
the best good for the city, whatever that
may be and anxious to learn more of the
plan as laid out by the annexation adher-
ents.

those in high schools and academies,
Az regards athletics. however, there
was a surprising unanimity of opinion
that proper indulgence was an excel.

Apples for the Brain.

Apples are said to contain more
phosphorus than any other fruit or
vegetable. and 1t is claimed that this
makes them specially adapted to re-
newing the nervous matter of the brain
and spinal cord. Perhaps for the same
reason. rudely understood. the old
Scandinavian traditions represent the
apple as the food Of the gods. who.
when they felt themselves growing fee-
BILE and infirm, resorted to this fruit
for renewing their powers of mind and
body. AS far back as the tenth CEN
tury medical authorities were enthusi-
astic In their writing over remarkable
curative properties Of different fruits.
says the Segnogram. In more modern
times this has been revived. and nearly
everyone has heard Of the grape cure =
the apple, peach or strawberry cure.
One writer is said to have rec
mended in special cases eating 20
pounds of strawberries day. The
same writer gained reason by the ex-
elusive use Of cherries. These cases
SAVIOR of the ridiculous. but there is no
doubt that the so-called grape cure
for indigestion and other evils has re-
suited in great good to persons trying
it. The fruit should be of good quail

and watery, the patient may be harmed

want into the arctic seas, and is now
on his way home.
To be exact. the American explorer
pushed on over the ice foes until he
reached 81 degrees six minutes north
latitude.
In 1896 Nansen reached S6:14 north
latitude. and his exploit was hailed as
a tremendous exploit, for that was 1876
miles farther north than Greedy had
gone in 1882.
Nansen held the record for only four
years. Then in 1900 Capt. Cagni Of
the duke of the Abruzzfs expedition
pushed his way northward and after
almost incredible hardships reached a
point 23 miles farther north than Nan
sen had gone.
Before Peary's feat the Italian ex-
plorer has held the record for farthest
north. Now 1t is shattered by an Amer
lean.
News from Commander Peary has
been awaited with anxiety for several
weeks. as July 16 was the date he had
fixed for the end of the dash" across
the ice cap surrounding the pole. The
commander, when he sailed from New
York more than year ago. fondly
hoped that the end of the dash would
carry him to the pole itself.
