CHANGES IN SCHEDULE

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAWTELLE, April 2S,-Important
changes in Sawtelle have just taken
place in the new schedule for pas
senger service on the Los Angeles-Pa-
cific railway.
Among the changes it provides for
two trips per hour over the recently
constructed San Vicente route, which
diverging from the main line at Oregon
and Seventh street at this place. takes
its course through the southwestern
corner of the Soldiers home and
traverses Westgate, Brentwood Park
and Linda Vista, and thence through
Santa Monica and Ocean Park to its
terminus at Venice.
At Dunham station, just west of
here, the old track running to the brick
yard district near that point has been
superseded by a broad guage, thus dis
pensing with the necessity of reloading
cars.
New Shorthand System
J. E. Huston has perfected his sys-
tenn of scientific shorthand. He has
arranged an alphabet Of twenty-four
single signs. appropriate for the rep
resentation of twenty-four single con-
sonant sounds of speech, and writes
signs of four lengths short and me
dunn, long and full, to indicate the
short and medium. long and full-length
vowels and at four heights in the
spaces on ruled paper, high and me-
dunn. low and base, he indicates the
height of tone or pitch of Vowels.
1t is like a photograph of speech.

ELECT NEW SET OF OFFICERS

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO. April 2S.--The
annual meeting of the board of trade
resulted in the election of the follow
ing officers for the coming year: Pres
ident, c. w. Monahan; vice president,
James Fleming; secretary, w. l.. Yes
tai; treasurer, H. D. Sibley; directors,
Fl. r. Levy, Thomas Hadden. A. NJ.
Ham, H. NJ. Barton and w. S. Hooper.
The only contest of note was for pres
ident, the successful candidate defeat
ing President G. A. Atwood for re-
election by a very narrow margin.
The board Of trade went on record
as being favorable to the appeal of the
percolating water suit recently nom
suited by Judge Bennett of Kern.
Money will be raised here to carry the
case to the higher courts, there being
every confidence in face of past su-
preme court decisions that the ranch
ers of this valley will ultimately win.
Has Narrow Escape
George Brown, a lineman in the en-
ploy of the Southwest Electric COM
pany, had a narrow escape from death
by being shocked by a live wire while
working at the top of a thirty-foot
pole. He fell to the ground, striking
on his back and shoulders. Wires
among which he was working DecdIlle
crossed with some high voltage wires,
causing Brown to receive a bad shock.
He will probably recover.
Heavy Rain and Snow
The storm which has prevailed in
this section for the past twenty-four
hours has caused a heavy fall of snow
in the mountains north of the city,
the entire range being white today. lin
places the snowfall is said to have
been fully eighteen inches in the past
twenty-four hours. In the valley some
thing more than half inch of rain
has fallen, doing some damage to hay,
hut on the whole doing more good than
damage.
Lung Specialists to Meet
The seni-annual meeting of the Tu-
berculoss league Of Southern Cali
fOrnia will be held in the First Con-
gregational church in this city the
evening of May i. A number of prom
inent physicians from this part of the
state will make addresses.
Mediums Hold Convention
A mass convention of Spirtualists is
being held this week in the Spiritual
list temple in this city, there being a
large attendance of the members of
the faith from all parts of the state.
Among the mediums present are Allen
F. Brown, Mrs. Cornelia Brown and
Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Howe of San Fran
CISCO, Mrs. Mollie Phelps of Oakland
and Mrs. Vlasick of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-29

In Southern California. Other addresses
will be given and there will be read
ings by Miss Louise Crawford and vto-
lin and piano music by Miss Pauline
Lewis. The meeting will no doubt be
quite interesting and helpful.
May Hold the Banquet
There is a possibility that the annual
banquet of the Pasadena board of
trade will still be held. This important
affair was to have been held on the
Friday evening following the San
Francisco earthquake and fire and was
naturally indefinitely postponed by the
officers of the board. Now that the
agitation consequent on that terrible
disaster has somewhat died out, there
are many people who wish to have the
abandoned preparations again taken
up. They have even gone so far as to
fix upon Friday night of next week as
the date. No definite action has yet
been taken. 1t seems, however, that
there can be no harm in holding this
banquet at this time.

Railroad Makes Compromise

G. c. Hovey of 26 Pine avenue, this
city, is richer by $1,000 today. Hovey is
a photographer and has made several
pictures of scenes at the beach. These
pictures, or the most of them, have
been copyrighted by him. The Salt
Lake route had used one of the photo
graphs in one of its publications with
out Hovey's permission and Hovey filed
suit for damages. AS the United States
laws protect copyrights, an attorney
representing the railroad yesterday
handed Hovey the sum of money as a
compromise. Hovey accepted. Hovey
has filed several other suits of the same
kind against different parties.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, April 2S.-Thought-
lessness on the part of his associates
may result in the disfiguring of Joseph
Bowden for life. Bowden is seventeen
years old and member of the junior
class of the local high school. His
home is at 215 West Fourth street. In
the high school there is a Gre letter
fraternity and the young man was
initiated into it's secrets last night.
This is the cause of his disfigurment.
The boys of the school have been study
ing chemistry and during the initiation
painted the letters of the fraternity
upon the forehead of the boy with
nitrate of silver. The silver burned
deep in the boys head and he is noW
confined to his home, having his head
treated twice a day. Blisters as large
as a silver dollar have formed.
The attending physician stated that
he could not tell how deep the burns
We're. Young Bowden refuses to dis
cuss the affair, stating that he thought
that the boys had gone little too far.
The young man also had his hair
shingled from one-half of his head and
the remainder was tied in q knot.

were going into San Francisco now
nearly or quite as fast as they were
coming out and that there was plenty
to eat for all, but that it was some
times a little hard to get.
The relief committee of San Pedro
has been far from busy this week. all
though they have made all arrange
ments for the entertainment of many
refugees. a room has been kept up
with all kinds of clothing aud a register
in it, There have been so few called

it and care for the refugees, if any
more come, in private houses. There
is quite fund on hand for helping
those who may come. This will be
sent to San Francisco should it not be

Coroner Eckhart Believes He Has
Line on Identity of
Body
FOUND BELOW ANDALUsIA
Description of Clothing of Man Drown
ed Four Months Ago at Foun-
tain City, Wis.,, TaIIies.

Coroner Eckhart has a letter from
Fountain City, Wis, which may solve
he identity of the body found below
Andalusia last Sunday. 1t is written
by III. j. F'leutze and describes a man
whose name is not given, but who was
drowned at that place four months ago.
The details of the clothing tally so well
with those of the body found here that
the coroner is convinced that he will
soon be able to disinter the remains
from. their temporary grave on the is
Land in the Mississippi and return them
10 relatives.
The man missing at Fountain City
was 20 years of age, feet in height,
and weighed 200 pounds, This may or
may not tally With the head and arms
detached and the body in an advanced
state of decomposition. it was impos-
sible to gather much idea as to size.
But the fact that in both cases overalls,
dark shirt with stripes and dark vests
were worn is more to the point. The
letter states that there were some
spikes. in a pocket and possibly a time
book. and also that one front tooth was
broken half way across. Nothing was
found in the pockets, and examination
of the teeth was ont o. the question
under the circumstances in which the
remains We're found and inferred.
Over 300 Miles Away.
Fountain City is above Winona.> 800
miles or more above Rock Island. If
it develops that the body is the one
sought by the Wisconsin parties. 1t
will be the longest journey upon which
the Mississippi has ever carried body
found here. though one was recovered
that had fioated down from La Crosse.
Coroner Eckhart has another inquiry
from Dixon by parties who are looking
for the remains of Frank Ayers. who
was drowned in Rock river at that
place Il year ago while hunting. But
in this case there is no similarity in
the clothing
