CORONER'S JURY HAS
MOST BUSY SESSION
Mrs. Mallory, Sucide-L. H. Watts
Not Murdered - Japanese Killed
AccldentaIIy-G. A. Barbour, Heart
Falure-Unidentif Man

Five inquests at Bresee Bros morgue
kept the coroner's jury busy yesterday.
Suicide was the verdict in the case of
Mrs. Hen-y Mallory, who swallowed
carbolic acid at her lodgings, 100 South
San Pedro street. Police investigation
showed that the woman was known as
Ida Martin and was not the legal wife
of Mallory. Dependency over her
equivocal position Is thought to be the
reason for her act.
The jury decided that L. II. Watts,
found with a broken neck under the
Also street bridge Saturday morning,
met his death accidentally. 1t is
thought that the man fell from the
bridge while under the influence of
liquor His Alhambra friends believed
at the time that Watts was murdered,
but evidence was not forthcoming on
this point.
Alcoholism is considered the cause Of
death of an unidentified man who died
early Sunday morning at the receiving
hospital after being booked as drunk
The jury returned a verdict of acci-
dental death in the case of X. Uyenura,
a Japanese laborer killed by a.. Santa
Monica car near Sherman Saturday.
G.. A. Barbour, who died in the office
of DIR. f. A. Seymour while asking for
treatment, was the victim of heart dis
ease, according to the coroners jury.

ANOTHER NEGRO HELD FOR
ASSAULT ON BRAKEMAN
oxNARp OFFICERS THINK HE is
RIGHT MAN
Description Of Latest Suspect Is Said
to Tally Exactly With Tramp Who
Shot Frank Erickson-PatIent Is
Slowly Recovering

AT a late hour yesterday afternoon,
Sheriff White received telegram from
Oxnard stating that a negro tramp
answering the description of the man
who shot Brakeman Frank Erickson
near Saugus several days ago, had
been arrested there and was being
held until an officer could call for
him.
The sheriff or his deputies will start
for Oxnard this morning and bring
the man to Los Angeles for identifica-
ton.
This afternoon the negro who was
arrested several days ago at Yuma on
suspicion will be taken before Frank
Erickson at the Sisters hospital and
the wounded man will have an oppor-
tunity to identify him.
1t is thought, however, by the Off
GERS that the negro captured at Yuma
is not the man wanted because he fails
in many particulars to answer the de-
scription. He was taken before the
other negroes who were on the train
at the time Of the shooting and they
stated positively that the Yuma negro
is not the man known as Wilcox who
had shot the trainman.
Yesterday Erickson was reported in
an improved condition. When he first
entered the hospital it was thought
death was certain as the man was
shot through the liver. Though now
suffering from peritonitis the physi-
clans state he has an even chance of
recovery.
The statements of the negroes cap
tured after the shooting talies in
every detail with the statement of the
wounded man and the officers now be-
lieve that they will have the would-be
assassin in charge within few days.

REFLECT HUNTINGTON
J0NATHANS' PRESIDENT
Messrs. Wankowski, spruance and
SIverWood Are on New Board of
Officers-Three Tickets Put in the
Field

After having several days fun over
nominations, the members of the Jona-
than club last evening elected directors
for the ensuing year.
Several tickets were in the field, but
the directors were elected regardless of
what ticket their names appeared
upon. There was also considerable
voting at random.
When the votes were counted the fol-
lowing were found to have received the
highest numbr: H. e. Huntington, L..
j. C. Spruance, Theodore Martin, e. w.
Murphy, Robert Wankowsk, c.. H.
White ana F. B. Silverwood.
Q. III. White, secretary of the club.
laughed last night when told about a
story which appeared in an afternoon
newspaper saying that all would not be
serene at the meeting last night.
''They were just having a little fun
here when they put three tickets in the
field. 1t was just to liven things up a
little. They made mimic political
campaign out of it to the enjoyment
of all. There was no discord in the
meeting.
oscar Lawler endeavored to with
draw his name as candidate in order
to get the other members not to vote
for him. He did not care to be elected.
Under the rules of the club a man cam
not withdraw his name after it has once
been posted. His action was prompted
entirely because he did not care for the
office"
AT the regular meeting the board of
directors met and elected the following
officers for the coming year: President,
H. T.. Huntingdon; first vice president,
Robert Wankowski; second vice presi-
dent L. j. c. Spruance; treasurer, f.
B. Sherwood; secretary, G. H. White.
Mr.. White is one of the most popular
members Of the club, as was shown
by his election as secretary for the
ninth time.

That the coming Fiesta will be the
greatest ever held is becoming more
evident every day. At the headquar-
ters of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers association yesterday, several
we'll known Angelenos applied for
their numbers in the great parade and
said that they were determined to Sc
cure the blue ribbon in their class no
matter what the cost may be.
About forty automobiles will be seen
in the parade and among them will be
the largest and handsomest cars in
Southern California. The largest dis
play will be made by the chamber of
commerce of Los Angeles, which will
have many artistically decorated floats
representing in some measure the
greatness of Los Angeles and Southern
California.
Next in point of size will be the
floats of the Native Sons and the next,
Venice The parade will be divided
into eight divisions, each of which will
have a marshal, aides and a band.
The official vehicle of the parade will
be the old Banning coach, which will
carry many notable persons. The
decorations of the coach will be most
beautiful although 1t will not be en-
tered to capture a prize. Among
those who will ride in the old vehicle
are Mrs. F. w. Flint, jr., Mrs. r. H.
Heron, Mrs. John T. Griffith, Mrs.
Hancock Banning, Countess Jaro Won
Schmidt, Mrs. w. Jarvis Barlow, Mrs.
J. D. Mott, Miss Maude Reese Davies
and Mrs. Ed. Neff.
Is a Difficult Task
The difficulty of presenting a parade
that is entirely new can hardly be
grasped by any one who has not tried
to originate something of the sort, it
is said. The specialties given one year
are of no use any succeeding year.
Hence it taxes the ingenuity of the
committee to bring about something
new The floral parade will be some
thing that has never been accom-
plished in California or any other part
of the country. The automobile sec
ton Of the parade, it is said, will be

COURT TIE-UP
TO Be BROKEN
EXAMINATION OF NEGROES SET
FOR TODAY
District Attorney VIII Brave All Dam
gers Of Appeal Because Of HolI-
days Being Declared by
the Governor

After a months delay in the hearing
Of cases set for examination in the
lower courts of Los Angeles township
District Attorney Fredericks will to-
day brave the chances Of appeal to the
supreme court and commence the trial
of J. w. Patterson and william Wright,
charged with grand larceny. The pre-
liminary examination will begin before
Justice Pierce at O'clock and Is ex-
pected to last about two hours.
Patterson and Wright were negro
porters on the Southern Pacific line.
About a week ago they arrived in Los
Angeles after a trip from San Fran
cisco and while here are alleged to
have picked up a purse In one Of the
Pullman cars. The purse contained
several hundred dollars, and as the
negroes were arrested with the money
in their possession the severe charge
was placed against them.
One of the peculiar features in the
prosecution is the fact that Eugenio
and Alfonso Bustillio two young Mexi-
can millionaires to whom the money
belonged. being reluctant to appear
against the negroes were compelled to
give bond at the arraignment for their
appearance at the negroes trial.
SC4dCi VI iIOOblC
The examination will simply be the
sequel to the recent trouble of the Bus
tillio boys. Eugenio, the eldest. went
to Santa Clara several weeks ago in
search of his younger brother, who was
wanted at his home in Mexico City to
settle up a large estate left the nine
members of the family.
The young mans guardian at the
Santa Clara college became alarmed at
the youths disappearance and tele-
graphed to Los Angeles to have the
young men detained until an examina-
tion could be made.
The arrest was made on a warrant
alleging kidnapping, and as the boys
were about to leave the train one
dropped his pocketbook containing sew
eral hundred dollars.
The officers returned later to the rail-
way station and there arrested the two
negroes.
When the arraignment took place the
Bustillio boys pleaded to be allowed to
return to their homes. The eldest,
Eugenio, stated that his wife was very
Ill and that he would have to return to
her side Immediately. He said that he
didn't care whether the men were pros
eouted or not and that as far as he was
concerned they might keep the money
~ hC We z eAAAChCu " Al0l
Court Differs
But the court held differently and the
two young men were placed under
bond until the date set for the examin-
alton. 1T was at first decided not to
hold the examination until after the
holidays, but urgent messages from the
young Mexicans' home caused the at
torney to set the trial for an early date
"We will return to our homes to-
morrow on the afternoon train if the
examination can be completed by that
time" said Eugenio Bustillio yester-
day. We would have liked to have gone
before this but the justness of your law
has been explained to us and we are
glad that we stayed. Everyone we
have met here has entertained us well
and we have seen the city thoroughly.
In spite of the fact that we have been
delayed we are glad to have seen Los
Angeles"

especially interesting. 1t will form the
advance guard of the parade. The
decorations will be finer than have
been attempted in any previous Fiesta.
The same can be said of every part
of the parade. More six-in-hands, VIC
torias, drags, childrens vehicles and
floats than ever before, are the reports
that are being given out, and the en-
tries show this to be true.
Secretary Zeehandelaar of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
tion is sending out cards showing the
divisions, classes, entries and positions
in the parade to all who have entered.
1t was stated by him that it will be
necessary for all the vehicles which
have been entered to be on hand at
$3.50 Tuesday morning in order that
the judges may complete their work
and allow the parade to move at II
o'clock propmtly.
Warn Business Men
Merchants have been warned against
persons who are seeking to put decora-
tions from lamp post to lamp post
across the streets in front of their
places of business for advertising pur-
poses.
A program is being made up and
1t from various merchants. There is
no official program and the merchants
are advised that they did all that is
expected of them when they sub
scribed to the Fiesta fund, and it is
not the intention of the committee to
have them held up for anything more.
One of the best features of Fiesta
week is the daylight fireworks which
are to be given at Ascot park Monday
afternoon, May 81. The driving matt
nee at Agricultural park the afternoon
Of May % will be another of the really
good features. The members of the
Los Angeles Driving club have as
sured the Fiesta committee that the
program will be the best they can
give.
The grand ball which has always
been associated with Fiesta week will
be given at Long Beach Wednesday

Movement Is Statement Made

The recharge Of debris cones in the
gravel beds in Southern California was
discussed by the members of the En-
gineers and Architects association at
their monthly meeting and dinner at
Levy's last night. Previous to the gen.
eral discussion f. e. Trask addressed
the members.
In his address Mr.. Trask pointed out
that action along these lines was of the
utmost importance to the citizens Of
Los Angeles.
"As 1t is" said Mr.. Trask, "the prac-
tical limit of the artesian we'll water
supply i'm Southern California has been
reached without provision for the util-
ization of the flood waters from the
streams.
THE geological conditions of the val
leys about us are so that we can safely
draw from the larger streams. The
conditions are good for natural UNDER
ground reservoirs, which I'm course OF
time Will become of the greatest value
to Southern California.
SHOULD corporations take hold of
this kind Of work II is possible that
they would not realize much profit from
it Immediately, but II can be made a
county and state affair and even a
leuefdi movement itS necessity is most
apparent and the question-is ripe for
action"

reason for packing her effects that she

and the house entirely stripped of its

The man with the big knife had gone.
Evidently the villain heard the woman
telling the police to come to the house,
for when the officers searched for him
the robber was nowhere to be found.
There were traces of his work. however,

MRS. SARAH M. BALDWIN.

Many old residents here will read with sadness of the death of Mrs. Sa- rah M Baldwin, who was a sister of the late Dr. Allen Smith, who was fifty years ago a prominent New Haven ruggist, and who resided for the last forty years of his life in rooms in the Exchange building The New Rochelle Pioneer says:
 Mrs. Sarah M. Baldwin, formerly of Milford, Conn, but for the past sixteen years a resident of this city, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs Arthur F, Walradt, on Thursday afternoon, after an illness, of a few weeks. Mrs. Baldwin was of old New England stock. Her ancestors on both sides were among the Founders of the New Haven colony, but left New Haven and joined with others in settling the town of Milford in 1699 Their descendants continued to live in Milford, and Mrs. Baldwin was born there in January, 1929. Her parents were David Smith and Mehetable Atwater, and her hus- band, who died many years ago, was Timothy H. Baldwin, also a descendant of the earliest settlers of the New Ha- ven colony and the town of Milford.
 Mrs. Baldwin was much respected and beloved by "Il who knew her, for she was woma of superior mental endowments and singularly sweet and lovable character and disposition, and her loss will be deeply felt not only by her family but by all who had ever come in contact with her.
