LIBRARY INVESTIGATION

Tells of Girls Climbing Lad
ders

Attorney Oscar Lawler drawled more
than ever last evening, and Attorney
Harris soft southern accent is never
capable of acceleration, even under
stress of excitement, and the library
investigation dragged painfully last
evening.
DR.. Alphabet" Jones, who is di-
rector of study and research in the
library, was put on the stand last even
ing and he was the only witness ex-
amined. His testimony was hardly sat
isfactory for either the library direc-
tors or Miss Jones. He summed his
entire testimony up when, just before
adjournment, Doc Houghton asked him
If he believed that Charles f. Lummis
was the very best librarian that could
have been secured for the place. DR..
Jones turned to Chairman Smith and
said, imploringly:
II am a friend of Miss Jones; to her
l owe my appointment on the library
board, and I am grateful for all she
has done for me. l am also friend of
Mr.. Lummis and / do not believe that
is a fair question"
He was sustained by the chair.
He paid one glowing tribute to Lum-
mis- by declaring him to be the greatest
intellectual force he had ever met IT
was evident there were some friends
OF Lummis in the lobby, Tor this state
| ment brought forth applause.
Only once did DR.. Jones touch on
anything of interest in his testimony
This was when he told of the former
practice among the young women at
tendants of the library of climbing UP
ladders to reach the books stacked UP
on the high shelves.
1t was evident that the good doctor
had unwttingy caught glimpses OF
some dainty ankles and then decorous-
ly turned his back. DR.. Jones is fat
60 and bald-headed, and he was out
spoken in his announcement of this
method. He was reluctant to talk
about this question, however.
He declared that the financial man.
agement of the library had been bet
tered under the present administration
and told of other improvements.
The investigation will be continued
next Tuesday evening in the council
chamber.

SAN PEDRO, Feb. S.-When the
Miner syndicate proposition for con-
cessions in the outer harbor was UNI
der consideration before the city
council Tuesday evening there were
several addresses in it's favor by cit
liens. Among those who spoke was
Ramon Sepulveda, one of the old
timers here, and a man of wealth.
Said he:
"If this project goes through ana
begin the erection of a $4,000 build
ing tomorrow morning"
The grant was given to the syndi-
cate at eleven o'clock, and in less than
ten hours Workmen had commenced
cleaning off the ground at the corner
of Palos Verdes and Sixth streets for
a large brick block to cost at least as
much as Mr.. Sepulveda said it would.
Many other buildings are being
planned and work on them will be
| commenced soon. Twenty dwelling
houses were counted in the course of
construction today and carpenters are
all busy
For the second time this week was

crate as did The Herald.
This proposition means much TO

SANTA MONICA, Feb. Son the
strength of story credited to a con-
ductor on the Redondo electric line to
the effect that while passing Hesperion
he had noticed an elderly, hatless
woman wandering over the hills, Il
searching party made up of relatives
and friends of Miss Jennie Brown, who
last Saturday night mysteriously dis
appeared from her home here, today
searched the vicinity in an unsuccess-
full hunt for the missing woman.
Recent footprints at the side of a big
tank of water connecting with and
near the outlet to the Los Angeles
outfall sewer caused several of the
party to suggest that there was pos
sibility of someone having jumped or
fallen in, and with the means at their
command the searchers dragged the
pool, but only succeeded in stirring up
the dirty water.
However, had a body been in the
tank it might have passed out and
into the ocean through a huge con-
Meeting pipe.
Miss Brown is said to be a woman of
means and for several years previous
to her disappearance had resided at
613 Main street
Claiming that she had seen a strange
man In her cellar and that she had
slammed tine door locking him in, Mrs.
Goring of 1852 Grand avenue caused
considerable excitement in the neigh
borhood at a late hour last night and
on the arrival of Policemen Ramsey
and Wiley pointed the way to where
the burglar" was imprisoned. The
policemen, with revolvers drawn and
flashing small bullseye lanterns, went
down the narrow passageway and, af-
ter giving warning to whoever might
be in the cellar, threw open the door,
No one stepped forth and, bravely go
ing forward, one of the policemen sud-
denly brought his flash to glare on a
large mirror rejecting himself and dis
covering the cause of Mrs. Goring's
fright. Several hundred persons con-
gregated outside the house while the
search was going on, and disappont-
ment was general when no burglar was
found, as the vicinity has suffered sew
eral depredations recently
The advance of Il. r.. Gabel to the
position of general superintendent of
the Los Angeles-Pacific met with
favorable comment by the business in
terests.

Special to The Herald.

Special tn The Herald
SAN BERNARD1NO, Feb. S.--The
supervisors have determined upon a
campaign to rid the county hospital
of a certain class of patients who pose
as indigents and are cared for at coun-
ty expense. one step in this dlrec-
ton has been the publica ton of list
of the INDECENT patients in the hosp-
tai. 1t has created CONSERVATION among
some patients and already some have
left the institution.
The supervisors have long believed
that the county was standing the ex-
pense of caring for a number OF pa
tients who were amply able to pay
their way. It has been found in some
cases patients own large tracts, have
bank accounts, as well as other prop
erty, but still expect the county to
care for them, and the county has been
doing so.
Hereafter there will be three classes
of patients in the hospital. Those who
are all pay patients, part pay patients,
pected to materially reduce the cost
of maintaining the hospital and at the
same time render efficient service to
the deserving poor.
The plan for the consolidation of the
San Bernardino and Redlands compa-
MES, Uniformed Rank knights of
Pythias, will be consummated in this
city Tuesday night, when the two or
CARNATIONS will be merged into the
San Bernardino company, and the Red
lands company will pass out of eX-
istence. 1t is expected by this plan
to secure a strong company, in place
of two companies that are rather weak.
A third auto has been added to the
Arrowhead hotel auto stage line from
this city business having increased so
rapidly that the third machine was
necessary. 1t is a 1906 Thomas flyer
of fifty-horse power, and carries eight
passengers beside the chauffeur. 1t is
probable that fourth machine will be
added.
The nuptials of John H. Millgan and
Miss Mary Ellen Rennahan occurred
this morning at st. Demands Catholic
church, Rev. Father John Brady Off
ciating. The groom is the steward at
the county hospital, while the bride
is one of the popular young women.
Another twist has been given the
litigation in which John F. Light has
become involved in this city and Red
lands over the numerous enterprises
which he has promoted. ]. B. Gill and
c.. A. Poole, who furnished materials
for the Third street natatorium in this
city, have sought to have the mort
gage foreclosure proceedings against
the place stopped In order to place a
lien for material against the building.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. S.-Two
terrific cloudbursts occurred this even
ing about 6 O'Clock, one at East High
land and the other at Banning and
Beaumont, doing damage that will run
high in the thousands of dollars.
At the former place the Santa Fe
loop line is washed out for 500 feet,
and below Banning, near Eel Casco, the
Southern Pacific line is covered with
water for a mile or more, it being
feared much of the track is gone, and
all trains, both east and west, have
been ordered held up.
Two Mexicans are believed to be
drowned.
From the Banning storm a stream of
water more than 100 feet wide and six
feet deep shot down San Timoteo CAN
yon, carrying everything before it,
several culverts and bridges being car
ried out.
Two huts belonging to Mexicans were
carried away, and it is believed two
Mexicans were drowned.
A score or more hogs on the Single
ton ranch were drowned, and damage
done to the Singleton creamery.
1t is feared much of the riffraff put
in last fall by the Southern Pacific to
protect it's track from floods has been
washed out.
At East Highland the storm was a
regular water spout, and occurred just
in the foothills back of the colony
1t came down through the orchards in
torrents, carrying trees and boulders
before it and washing out nearly 500
feet of track on the Santa Fe loop
line.
The evening loop train was compelled
to return to San Bernardino by way of
Redlands. Residents of that colony
state it was the heaviest rainfall they
ever witnessed
The general merchandise store of D.
II. Richards came near being wrecke
by the flood, the water getting so high
that it ran over the entrance to the
store. The storm was also very heavy
in East Redlands, the water running a
foot deep in the streets for time.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAWTELLE, Feb. S.-Charles Tib-
bits, owner of the Soldiers Home bus
line between Sawtelle and the home,
and who carried the mail pouches
leased the bus line to Tom CULVER
about November 1 and notified the
postoffice department. of his intention
to give up the mail route.
CULVER continued the services but
last December put in a bid of $50 per
month for mail carrier and said that
If this was not granted he would not
carry the mail.
George Dills postmaster at the home,
received bids, but the postal authori-
ties did not favor the $40 demanded
by him.
CULVER kept on until February /,
when Chief Moore of the railway pos
tai service at the home stated that not
more than $40 would be allowed for
the route.
bid was low enough and CULVER gave
up delivering the mail.
The postmaster now has to convey
the mail to Sawtelle, commencing at
$50 in the morning, by conveying the
mail in a hand cart. Later in the day
he comes down on the electric railway
There are ten mails daily, the earliest
at $50 a. m. and the latest at $3.50 p.
M. The distance is over mile between
Sawtelle and the home and the inter-
mediate mails cause a full days work
OF twelve hours.
At $40 a month this would give the
holder of the contract a fraction over
cents a trip, or 80 cents a day for
twelve hours time.
The Gem grocery has moved to the
opposite side of the street, and the old
building which stands on the lot owned
by the Sawtelle bank is being moved
today, preparatory to the erection OF
a new concrete building.
Mrs. Helen May Downe, who died at
Los Angeles February 6, was brought
to Sawtelle for burial yesterday. The
services were held at the residence OF
her brother Walter Beeson, Rev. Mr.
Burr of Santa Monica officiating. She
was 80 years old.
The funeral of Mrs. William briggs
will be held this afternoon. Mr.. briggs
arrived yesterday. Mrs. briggs died
at Monrovia and was brought here
last night. She was well known in
Sawtelle.

Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DIR. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.

were nearly suffocated. Mr.. Sherwn

The doughty representative of the kali

the Hotel Green and spends his nights
there, but the long days are spent in
