WOMAN PLUNGES
THROUGH GLASS
BATHER STEPS ON SKYLIGHT
OF GARAGE
Long Beach Scene Of Accident Which
Might Have Terminated Fatal
ly-Alights on Seat of
Automobile

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Sept. 3.-Stepping
backward to get out of the way of a
wet bathing suit suspended from a
clothesline and falling in the wind
Mrs. Mary Condor, a San Bernardino
woman, who has spent the summer
in this city, stepped upon the edge
of skylght yesterday and fell back
ward through the glass into William
Varney's garage. below.
The fall ended abruptly in the front
seat of H. w. Hicks tourist machine
from which Mrs. Condor slid forward
striking her head with force against
the steering wheel of the machine.
The wheel and shaft were torn off and
the shaft bent. Bystanders quickly
picked up the dazed woman and car
ried her into the Lynne apartment
house next door at 1877 Pine avenue,
where Mrs. Condor has been stopping,
Her injuries were found to consist
solely of bruises. The twelve foot
tumble might have been more serious,
as the woman narrowly missed a pipe
and a beam strung across the roof
of the garage near the ceiling. The
hole which Mrs. Condor broke in the
skylight is small and as round as If
cut out by a glasscutter
Mrs. Condor is very fond of bathing
in the surf, and yesterday morning
took her accustomed dip. Upon re-
turning to the Lynne she changed her
clothes and stepped over to the roof
of the auto shop, across which a line
had been stretched by the proprietor
| of the rooming house. She had just
hung her dripping bathing suit across
the line when the early zephyr swept ii
against her face.
That is. it would have been swept
against her face had she not backed
into the skylight.

vine which had grown up the side of

built on the side of the house to sup
port it. Judge Parish may decide to
hollow the pumpkin and use it as a

riding bicycles on the sidewalks were
made today officer Rice arrested Har-

and Commissioner Medill arrested A..
Alured on Hill avenue, near Colorado
street. The last named gentleman
claimed to be a stranger, but made a
deposit for cash bail, as did the first
named.
This is the first arrest under this or
dinance in the newly annexed east side

has other ways of collecting revenue
from the east slider than waiting for
taxes. officer Odell arrested Frank
Mcclure this forenoon for leaving his

Mcclure made the required deposit. It
is hardly likely that any one of the
three will appear before Judge McDon-

1t has been contended all along that
when the railroad company dabbled in
politics it kept in its salary a score OF
more OF politicians. many of whom
have since died. and some Of whom are
still leading figures IN the political
word. This is the first attempt on
the part OF any of the investigators to
bring politics into this investigation. It
is not likely that the move will amount
TO anything.
The committee hopes TO complete it's
work by March 10. and is meeting daily
at Annapolis. where the Baltimore and

He remained a few minutes. and then
left. This investigation, by the way, is
bearing fruit. and it is now the concen-
sus of opinion If more such evidence is
addueed as was given by Assistant
Comptroller Booth the attorneys will
have enough material to make out a
case. The testimony of Captain Booth
brought out the fact that it was the
intention OF the management to deprive
the Washington branch of its terminals

mile track from the end of the Metro
politan branch to the station al Wash
ington is considered as a ffty-mile block
in figuring out the payment of revenue
TO the Washington branch for traffic
coming in over the Metropolitan branch.
For Instance. from Cumberland 10
Washington, in round numbers, IS $50
miles. A passenger making this trip or
a load Of freight, travels, say, I+9 miles
over the Baltimore and Ohio proper and
one mile over the Washington branch.
in distributing the revenue, the Wash
ington branch one mile counts as a
fifty-mile block, however. and the Bal
timore and OhiO's 149 miles as three
blocks, so that in all traffic between
these points the Baltimore and Ohio
gets thTee-fourths. and the Washington
branch one-fourth, of the receipts.
When the new terminals are COM
pleted, however. the Metropolitan
branch will run right into the terminal
station. The Washington branch's
tracks will not be used for any West
ern traffic whatever ending or OTiginat-
ing in Washington. AS result the
Washington branch will have no share
in the revenues for the Western buSi-
ness. and inasmuch as the Baltimore

tion in the new terminals, II viii at one

Washington Property Owners.

Another important development during
the week was the establishment of q
value on the property owned by the
Washington branch in Washington.
This is placed at 1884. .026.35. The most
of this will not be OF use for railroad
purposes after the new terminals are
completed and Will be sold and the
amount credited 10 the Washington
branch. The investigating committee
has already brought out the fact that
there will be something ike 81 900, coo
coming to the branch from sources like
this. This. of course. has q vital bear
ing on the value of the Washington
branch stock, as this large sum will
have to be distributed to the stockhold-
ers as a dividend or used in some way
that will enhance the value of the stock.
Senator Perkins dropped into a new
groove when he called upon the railroad
officials to furnish the committee with
a complete salary list from 1885 up 10

Sheriff Hunt Will
 Frustrate Yaqui Plans

Sheriff Hunt has received a letter from Governor Kibbey asking him to do all in his power to frustrate the plans of band Of forty Ysqni h. dians who are said to be on an ammu- nition errand.
 The overnor has addressed letters to all the sheriffs in the southern counties. His information was se- cured from the authorities.
 If it is true that the Yaquis are after ammunition they will likely get it. At least they have in the past, and by methods which are still secret. None of the dealers in guns and aDi- munition would knowingly furnish the Indians with ammunition, as the Ysqui war, by retarding the develop ment of Sonorssis doing wide injury.

GreWsome Find

R H Cameron in returning to Flagstaff from the Grand Canyon re ports the finding, near the river in canyon, of the badly decomposed body of a mal.
 The find was made by c. c. Spauld- ing and Howard Noble, who were prospecting, In the overcoat were found copies of the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Examiner of the date of some time in March, 1900 The body was dressed in a suit of jeans, over which was worn . blue denim overshirt and oyeralls. A pair of mittens were found near by.
 From q nasty examination of the body no marks were found that would indicate that violent deat had oc- cured, and from the dress and other indications 1t is evident that the man was a stranger, and that he had prob ably become exhausted and laid down nd died where found.

From various sources it is reported that when the snow melts along the proposed line of the Colorado & Ari | zona railroad, which will be the con, meeting link between the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific branche. sufficiently to allow the men to work in the hills and the gulches, work will be resumed and carried along wIth d rush. It has never been definitely 1 dec,ded where this road will connect with the Southern Pacific It may be at Globe, over the Gila Valley line, or it may be at Deming or some other point.
 Cessation of work on the line was required by heavy sno~s last winter in the vicinity of Durango, both above and below that city. At that time actual constructor was under way at Pennington, Colo, while survey ing parties were all busy out of Dur sngo.
 The completion of the line to the Southern Pacific will tap the Duran go coal fields and afford new mar ket for this coal in ArIzona and New Mexico, and should result in & de- cided falling off in the price of the heat producer in the winter time.
 There will be some fine engineering problems to be solved in the construc tion of this road, although the en- gineers say that they are comparative iy easy for surmounting a continental divide.
