San Francisco, Cal, April 23.-H
c. Tuden, a prominent commission
merchant, and one of the most prom
inent members of the general relief
committee. was shot and almost in
stantly killed in his automobile about
10 o'clock last night, while returning
from Menlo park, by a man supposed
to be a member of the citizens pa
troll. Hugo Altschull, a friend OF
Tilden's, who was in the automobile,
was cut in the face by the bullet, and
another ball pierced the seat and
struck r. G. Seaman in the back, but
not seriously hurting him.
The shooting occurred at Twenty
third and Guerrero streets. Two men
suspected of doing the shooting, are
under arrest. The automobile had
been used as an ambulance in carry
ing the sick and wounded, and was
carrying the Red Cross flag. Be
sides this flag, Tilden was wearing
the Red Cross badge. He had been
challenged twice, but was allowed to
proceed. when he showed the Red
Cross. When crossing Twenty-secOnd
street, however, there was no chal-
lenge, and the guard began shooting
without warning. The killing of i
den has created the greatest indigna-
tiOn.

Washington, D. c., April 23.-Secre-

the reports which have come from
the Naval Academy, in regard to the
discipline of that institution. He finds
that hazing is no longer one of the
regular features of that institution.
The board of officers which has charge
of affairs az the academy, and which
served as a sort of grand jury TO the
court martial of the hazers, has been
investigating the situation by means

Secretary BonaparJe is inclined to
believe that something should be done
in behalf of the midshipmen who have
been dismissed. In all but one -r two
cases, he feels that his punishment
was excessive, and that the navy has

BUILDING HANDSOME RINK
Los Angeles Amusement Company
Spending $4,000 in Construc-
ton and Equjpment

One of the best buildings devoted to
skating purposes in the country is that
just being completed at Main and
Eighteenth streets.
The building is Moorish in style and
within its walls are all the essentials
that go to make a skating rink popular.
The first floor is 90X160 feet, built upon
a bed of packed ground, over which is
the solid concrete and cement, topped
with asphaltum. The floor timbers are
wired In and on top of the timbers lies
a triple floor, in which the strips are so
laid as to make it more solid than if it
We're one solid thickness of lumber.
All of the corner joints are dovetailed.
The front of the building is fitted up
with offices, women's cloak rooms,
toilet rooms and other necessary ad-
juncts to a well equipped public resort.
The mems cloak room is at the right of
the main street entrance. The second
floor is devoted to d promenade, and on
this floor are located the refreshment
booths.
Another feature is the roof garden
promenade, which will be brilliantly
lighted and equipped with lawn seats.
The finishing touches are now being
added to the building.

Heat from a gas stove too near the

lying face downward on the floor. The
baby had been preserved and kept in
a glass case by DR.. Sundin. A stream
of water had knocked the case from a
shelf and broken it,

SAY CIRCULAR LETTER
is A RANK FORGERY
LIBRARY BOARD WILL TRACE
lNSTlGAToR
Publication in Morning Paper Is CAL
culated to Cast odium Upon Holder
of Study and Research Position,
Members State

Claiming that a circular purporting to
! be from Librarian Lumms and which
! was printed in a morning paper is a
rank forgery, the library board yester-
| day employed detectives to trace out
the person responsible for it's issuance.
| They threaten that when he is discov-
cred they will invoke the law to the
| fullest extent.
An anonymous letter to DR.. j. w.
| Trueworthy, president of the board of
| library directors, is believed to have
com from the same source as the cir
Cular. This letter suggested that should
a woman be successful in passing the
civil service examination for study and
research, now held by DR.. C. j. K.
Jones, that the position be abolished.
The tone of the letter is ironical, and
in DR.. Trueworthys opinion calculated
to throw odium on DR.. Jones. The cir
Cular Which has caused so much trouble
to the library department is as follows:
"To Our Patrons-The Los Angeles
| public library exists solely to educate
| the people. 1t is the duty of the direc-
| tors-and it is their constant care and
study-to decide how this is best to be
! done.
| 1T has been thought wise to with
| hold personal access to the shelves from
| the general public. Since this public
always has been and prol ably always
! will be in state of moral and mental
undiscipline its needs will best be met
| through application to DR.. c. j. X.
Jones, director of study and research.
The eminent qualifications of DR.. Jones
for sthis work need not be enumerated.
! He is a living encyclopaedia. The Los
| Angeles public library now offers facil-
tiles for study and research under
skilled supervision such as perhaps no
city in the world ever enjoyed before.
There is, however, i'm our community
an important class whose individual
studies require our protection For the
benefit of this class we have decided to
issue cards which will give free access
to the shelves, with all other esoteric
privileges. when signed by the librarian
or by the director of study and research,
or by both, i'm cases of members of the
Friday Morning club.
I'VE invite applications for these
cards, especially from members Of the
Archaeological institute. the Sequoia
league, the Los Angeles Bar association,
the Press association and all connected
with the daily press.

JUROR BURSTS
BLOOD VESSEL
TIMELY ARRIVAL OF SURGEON
SAVES HIS LIFE 0 /.
At Close Of Long and Tedious Session
In Hearing Of Damage Case
Man Drops to
Floor

Following long and tedious session
In the trial of the damage suit of Edith
NJ. Balcom against the Los Angeles
railway before Judge Bordwell in de-
partment nine Of the superior court
yesterday afternoon, one of the jurors
became suddenly ILL., suffering from a
severe rupture Of the blood vessels of
the lungs.
Before assistance reached the man he
was weak from loss of blood and had
1t not been for Surgeon Campbell, who
happened to be in the court house as a
witness, and who was called at once the
unfortunate juror would probably have
died.
1t was only after DIR. Campbell had
given the man several hypodermic in
jections that the bleeding stopped. The
Juror was then taken to his home. 1t
Is not known whether he will be able
to attend todays session, and the case
may be reset for trial.
Edith Balcom, the plaintiff in the
case, the 11-year-old daughter of the
late Mrs. Lulu Austin, is suing the Los
Angeles Railway company for $4,000
in payment for the loss of her mother.
The little girl is represented in court
by her guardian and the case Is being
bitterly contested.
The accident in which Mrs. Austin
was killed occurred on the night of No
Vember on East First street, Between
Lorena and Concord streets. Mrs. AUS
tin and another woman and two male
companions had been out on an auto
mobile trip in the country. One of the
members of the party was an employe
Of the city street department and the
automobile was one owned by the in
spectors.
Car Crashes Into Auto
EARLY in the evening the party started
out for a. moonlight trip in the county
and the return was made at about IL
o'clock. The auto topped the hill just
west of Indiana avenue on the East
First street car line and dashed down
to the foot of the hill, only to be caught
in the soft sand at the side of the
tracks.
There the man at the wheel attempted
to turn the machine and force it out
when a car, going east on the north
track, swooped down on the machine
and crushed it, killing one of the women
and fatally injuring the other.
Mrs. Austin was dead when assist
ance reached her and her companion
died a few days later.
The womans daughter now asks
$4,000 damages for the loss of the care
and protection of a mother, alleging
that the car was going at a fast rate of
speed and that the company was re-
sponsible for the accident. Because,
opei ating but a single car over the line
at. that point, they used the north
track to go in both directions.
Further carelessness is alleged in
that the company permitted the road
on it's right of way to become guttered
and sunken and was therefore respon-
sible for the automobile becoming en-
tangled in the sand.
