ON THURSDAY
TO Settle DETAILS

Messrs. w. o. Smith. Geo. w. Smith.
]. r. Gait. E. A. McInerny and Mark

Washington to urge that Congress give
Hawaii three-fourths of the Federal
revenue here for fortiflcations and other
improvements. have booked to depart
on the Pacific Mail steamship Mongolia,
scheduled to sail hence on the 18th
instant. II is probable that the Homo

Delegate Loebenstein from Hawaii and
Delegate Case from Maui. Kauai has
not yet settled on its delegate.
On Thursday Of this week the Homo.
lulu delegation will hold a meeting to
arrange details OF the mission to the
Capital. W. o. Smith will probably
be chosen as chairman. A treasl rer
and a secretary will also be selected.
At this meeting the proposition OF a
press representative going on from
here will be discussed.
A member of the delegation stated
this morning that the reason the mem
bers had not met before to settle do
tails was that the season was such
that little time had been available for
such a meeting. Business men had
been absorbed with the work Of clos
ing up the old year and starting the
new. He thought some impotence had
been shown In regard to wanting the
delegation to get together.
The meeting will be held on the day
following the departure of the Ala.
media, for now that the old year has
been gotten out OF the way and the
new year mas been duly installed. along
comes the necessity OF getting on mail
In the Alameda. After that the coasi
will be clear for a delegation meeting
In case the members of the Wash
ington committee wish to take along
any Hawaii promotion literature. the
new folder on Hawaii, being prepared
by the Hawaii Promotion Committee.
Of which there is to be an edition Of
100000, will be ready for distribution

WANT MORE ASSISTANCE
Supervisors Suggest Property Owners
Contribute Again for Pasa-
dena Boulevard

The building of the Huntington boule-
ward, otherwise known as the Pasadena
boulevard, will probably cost in the
neighborhood of thirty or, thirty-five
thousand dollars, according to bids re-
ceived by the board of county super
visors yesterday.
Former bids relative to curbing and
oiling of the two and one-half miles of
boulevard yet to be built to complete
the beautiful driveway connecting Los
Angeles with the Crown City formed a
partial estimate. Yesterday bids were
received on the grading and ditching
of the road. M. H. French bid at $13,-
995; James M. Montgomery at $11,6 ,625.
Chairman Patterson of the supervis-
ors announced his willingness to sub
scribe $4,000 of the county's money to
the project if the property holders who
have already subscribed $4,000 would
make up the remainder. Supervisor AL
exander was in favor of one-fourth
subscription by the county, and the
bids and boulevard question were laid
over for one week.

Is Disease a Crime =?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded rs criminal.
Certain 1t is, that much Of the sickness
and suffering OF mankind Is due to the
violation Of certain Of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, overworked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load Of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various displacements OF pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing OF children. with IT'S ex-
acting demands upon the system, coupled
with the care, worry and labor OF rearing a
large family. is often the cause OF weak
nesses, arrangements and debility which arc
aggravated by the many household cares.

RAILROAD Gets
SHREWD OFFICER
Detective Gilbert, Who Did Excellent
Work in the Capture of BesoId,
Is Employed by the
Salt Lake

Deputy Sheriff Charles Gilbert, whose
capture of Anton Besold of Temescal
canyon fame won him name and en-
viable reputation throughout the United
States, was yesterday appointed special
agent Of the Salt Lake route.
Gilbert resigned from Sheriff Whites
staff one week ago, and at that time it
was rumored that he had received a
nice offer from the Salt Lake manage
ment. Yesterday that rumor was con-
firmed when Gilbert admitted that he
had been appointed road detective.
In securing Gilbert's services the Salt
Lake road has annexed one of the most
popular officers in the county. Gilbert's
work under Sheriff Whites administra-
ton was of a kind which bordered on

OvERSLEEPING He
KILLS HIMSELF
Newly Employed Janitor Fears He
viii Lose Position, and in
Remorse He Commits
Suicide

Fearing that he would lose his posi-
ton as 1anitor in the Pacific Electric
building, John King, 10 years old, COM
mitted suicide by drinking strychnine
in his room at 422 West Eighth street
yesterday. He had oversight, and
thought If he did not reach the build
ing on time he would be discharged.
King came to Los Angeles from In
dianapolis several weeks ago. He
brought good references with him and
soon obtained a position. Sunday he
moved from his former rooming place
at 419 West Eighth street across the
street, and asked his new landlady,
Mrs. Condor, to call him at z o'clock.
She did not do so, and when he awoke
it was much later. 1t is thought he
brooded over the fact that he would be
late for work and passed the entire
morning thinking of the matter.
Early in the afternoon he was heard
groaning in his room, and when other
roomers entered he was found lying on
the bed unconscious. He was taken to
the receiving hospital, but died soon
after arriving there. An inquest will be
held tomorrow.

GHOULS DISTURB
BONES OF DEAD
Break Into Tomb in Old Spanish
Cemetery in Search Of Jewels
Buried Many Years
Ago

Ghouls are said to have been ravish-
ing the graves in the old Calvary GEM
etery on Buena Vista street. Many
skeletons are said to have been taken
from there, while numerous coffins
have been broken open for the appar-
ent purpose of learning If they conceal
ed any jewels.
Yesterday morning visitors to the
cemetery discovered that the brick
tomb in the northwest corner had been
broken into recently and that four
bodies had been taken from it, while
a fifth casket had been broken open
and searched.
There was no name on the vault and
no records are now kept of the bodies
buried there, SO 1t was impossible to
learn the names of those who occupied
the tomb.
In former days this was the most
important cemetery in Los Angeles,
and for more than forty years it was
used as a burying place by wealthy
Spanish residents Of the city and some
of the most prominent of the early set
tiers are buried there.
Ten years ago the cemetery was
abandoned and since that time it is
supposed that ghouls have made fire.

BREAKS HER ADMIRERS HEART
Swain Has Sweetheart Summoned to
Court-DecIares She Does
Not Love Him

To lose the consent of ones prospec-
tive mother-in-law to the prospective
marriage is hard enough, but to lose
ones sweetheart at the same time is
doubly hard, therefore Felix Ybarra,
gay in the garments of sunny Mexico
and torrid with the anger of that same
southland, mumbled but a surly re-
sponse to Christmas greeting shouted
to him by friend yesterday as the
uElucky swain left Judge Trask's de-
partment of the superior court.
Ybarra, desperate for a sight of his
beloved one, the dainty Severina Bus
tus, took the unusual step of swearing
out writ of habeas corpus to have the
girl produced in court. Yesterday was
the date set for hearing and Ybarra
appeared, dressed in his best, for If
these American courts OF which he
understood but little would give him
his sweetheart in spite of her mother,
he would be married Immediately,
He alleged that his sweetheart was
over the age of eighteen years and that
he mother was restraining her from
marrying him.
1t was bad enough for the mother to
take the witness stand and prove that
her daughter was not yet eighteen
years of age, it was worse to take the
witness stand himself and agree that
he did not know the girls age, but 1t
broke his heart to hear the petite Sew
erina testify that her mother did not
restrain her and that she would not
marry Ybarra because she did not love
him.

PRISONERS TO HAVE TURKEY
Inmates Of the County Jail Are AS
sured of Christmas Day
Feast

One hundred and forty pounds of
turkey will be served to the prisoners
at the county Jail today as the last
treat to be given them by Sheriff White
before the expiration of his term of
office.
Yesterday the good things for the
Christmas feast were piled into the
commissary department of the grim old
bastile in way that caused the pris-
oners to stare in anticipation of their
feast.
Roast turkey, cranberries, potatoes,
vegetables of all kinds, pie and fruit
and tobacco will be served every in
mate of the jail today and there will
the Christmas cheer.
The prisoners will spend the day
quietly today, none of them being
called UP to do any work.
"It takes a little money to give such
a banquet to the county guests" said
Sheriff White yesterday, "but the poor
fellows ought to have some sort of
pleasure at this time of the year. Many
Of them have no friends nor relatives.
Many of them would not be remem-
bered by relatives if they had them,
and it is only fair to give them some
enjoyment, and situated as they now
are, a good feed and tobacco is about
all they care for and they will get
plenty Of both on Christmas.
Yes, the feed will cost more than
the regular eight cents per meal al
lowed by the county, especially since
turkeys are forty cents pound, but
just say tLat the money is being sup
piled by a fellow who knows most of
the prisoners and you will have 1t
about right"
