allow the Clara 3S minutes, S6 seconds,
the latter won, crossing at 507 p. m.
The Celonia gave up the contest.
In the race for 79-footers the White

MAN SHOOTS SELF
BEFORE HIS WIFE
4 HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR
HE SAYS, AND FIRES
Attempted Reconciliation Between
Couple Who Had Separated Ends
In Tragic Manner-Would-B
Suicide Now Sorry

In the presence of his wife, Jesse e.
Hawkins, teamster employed by J..
Sacks of 174O Newton street, attempted
to take his own life last night at 419lk
South Main street by shooting himself
in the breast with a revolver.
He was taken to the central station
and the bullet, which had only pene-
trated underneath the 1esh was re-
moved by Police Surgeon c. w. Cook.
Mrs. Hawkins says she and Hawkins
were married two years ago at San
Diego and came to Los Angeles about
year ago. During the time she lived
with him in Los Angeles she says
Hawkins did not support her. and she
was forced to leave him and go to her
sisters at Fresno. A short time ago
she returned to Los Angeles and last
night she called her husband over the
telephone and asked him to call to see
her at 419h South Main street
Hawkins went to see his wife, and,
according to her story, he acted as If
intoxicated. She told him she would
not live with him If he did not keep
sober and that she would get divorce.
Immediately Hawkins drew his re-
volver, saying II have nothing to live
fer" and fired.
AT the receiving hospital the officers
found letter in his pocket from his
mother, Mrs. e. j. Hawkins of Tulare,
Cal. In the letter she asked her son to
quit drinking and to save his money.
Hawkins said his wife is the daughter
of j. w. Heimer, manager of the bath
house at Santa Monica. Hawkins says
he will go home today and not try to
kill himself again.

the child is led on to all sorts of
sophistry.
THE greatest lesson of science or
charity is to hold our judgment in sus-
pense until we have gathered the data,
until we have attained it, until we have
compared it carefully, and If children
are scientifically taught to examine
their data and compare their examna-
tions they will not break the eighth
commandment, and will keep their
prejudices under subsection. 1t has
been said that this will make us a
strange people And we do not like
when asked what we think of this or
that to say we do not know. We are
more anxious to issue our ipse dxit
and we had rather not withhold our
opinion.
Believes In New Truth
do not smother the thought in a
multiplicity of words. but get down to
the basic thought. There is nothing
difficult If, as Newman said, we make
sure of our footing, but if the thought
is covered the children are retarded
But science is not all discovered, and
we should not say the last word, but
keep the pupils mind ready for new
truth
Bishop Conaty will open the session
this morning with an address on "The
Jesuit System" Arithmetic as an
Art'' will be Sister Loyola's morning
address. The science of arithmetic will
he spoken of in the afternoon. Miss
Elizabeth M. Dunn will read paper on
1.-The Psalms"
An increased interest on the part of
outsiders is being shown and a large
number of women attended the sessions

TELL
FISHING YARNS
CATALINA YELLOWTAlL PROVE
BIG SURPRISE
Battling Nelson and Cyclone Thomp-
son Relate Experiences Which
Their Best Friends Refuse
to Believe

When Battling Nelson returned to
Chicago from California several months
ago he had many things of interest to
tell the Windy city boys who make a
living in the squared circle. OF course
Bat did not fail to speak Of Herrera
and the way in which the Mexican
crawled out of the much talked of
twenty-round contest, but the Dane
really devoted more time in relating his
experiences at Catalina Islands.
Say, you guys" said the Battler,
you don't know what big fish really
look like. Once in awhile some Of you
manage to catch six-inch perch in
Lake Michigan or land half-pound
bull head in some nearby stream, but
when it comes to yellowtail, the big
boys which make you hang onto the
line as though a cow was pulling at
the other end, you must take off your
hat to me.
Oats what I said. why, I caught
fish out at Catalina Island as big as
any lightweight in the business. Think
of it. A fish as big as man.
The gang roared. Some of the pugs
gathered around even went so far as
to tell bat" that he had been dream
ing, but Nelson stuck to it and advised
his friends to embrace the first oppor-
tunity of fishing for yellowtail at Cata-
lima Island
Thompson Follows Advice
Among the boys who listened to the
BattIer at the time referred to was
Cyclone Thompson. The Battler and
Cyclone have always been the best of
friends and when Nelson learned that
Thompson was coming out here the
first thing he asked of him was that
he would go to Catalina Island and
land yellowtail, so that he could veri-
fly, upon his return, the stories Bat"
had told
And this is exactly what Thompson
will do. With several friends he went
to the beautiful little island Saturday
morning and before he returned he was
statements made by Nelson.
Gee whiz," said the Cyclone when
he returned. Talk about fish, guess
they grow bigger than cows out here.
Why, l had not been fishing more than
ten minutes before I felt tug at the
end of my line which almost dragged
me into the ocean. Away he went.
First to the right and then to the
left that big yellowtail cut through
the water. At times / gained a little
by reeling in slack line, but the next
moment the reel was whizzing like an
alarm clock.
But 1 landed the fish and several
more besides Just wait until l reach
Chicago; maybe you think l won't tell
the bunch that Nelson told the truth
and nothing but the TRUTH
