WATCHMAN SAVES
HANDSOME HOME
BATTLE WITH FIRE IS WON BY
LONE WARDEN
Residence Of Philadelphia Editor in
Flames as the Result Of
spontaneous Conn
bustion
Pasadena Agency,
1914 East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 7b2.


PASADENA, oct. 22.--Luck and the
promptness of a night watchman in
the employ of the Freeman patrol alone
saved a $4,000 residence ON Belefon-
taine drive, near Orange Grove, from
being destroyed by fire. The residence
is in process of construction and is
now nearly completed. 1t is TO be oc-
cupied when completed by John Bake
well Phillips, the famous Philadelphia
journalist and the members Of his
family.
Shortly before o'clock when Watch
man G. l.. Linton was going his rounds,
he discovered signs of fire about the
handsome building. The light of the
flames shone through the second story
windows and he saw at once that the
fire had gained considerable headway.
Quickly turning in an alarm, Linton
broke through q window and rushed
to the second story of the burning
building. He found that the fire had
eaten through the floor and was blaz-
ing up the woodwork of the wall
With remarkable presence Of mind
he ran downstairs to-. room where he
had seen some buckets. Taking q
couple of them he ran back up stairs
and, putting the plug in a bath tub,
which had fortunately just been in
stalled, he turned on the water The
watchman ran from the bath room
to the place where the fire was burning,
dashing water over the flames and
thus keeping the fire down until the
fire department reached the scene.
Owing to Linton's plucl5y work fire
which would undoubtedly have gained
sufficient Roadway to- have spread all
over the second floor before the fire
company could have reached the scene,
was restricted to the upper hallway
where it originated. AS it is the dam
ge will be several hundred and per-
haps a thousand dollars.
The fire originated in a pile Of oily
rags, which painters had left In the
hall. 1t was due to spontaneous COM
bustion.
The house, which Is built of wood,
is being constructed by Peter Hall,
the well known contractor of the higher
class of residences. Green & Green
of Los Angeles are the architects.

OPPOSED TO DREDGING PLAN
The Bannines and Southern Pacific Do
Not Take Kindly to Channel
Operations
Special to The Herald.


LONG BEACH, Oct. 22.-That the
Bannings and the Southern Pacific
railroad will oppose the Wilmington
Dock company in its move to dredge
channel at Wilmington is now a cer-
tainty. Representatives of both cor
porations have appealed to Captain
Fries of the United States board of
engineers to hold a public hearing at
which they may present their objec-
tions to the contemplated Improvement.
Captain Fries will hold the hearing,
it is said, as he has been accustomed
to grant such requests. Those inter-
ested in the dock company are conf
dent that he will arrive at no decision
adverse to their interests.
There has been a noticeable activity
recently in what is known as the
"Bixby Slough" one mile west of Will
mington. More than n hundred acres
have been bought in at figures running
from $3.50 to $3.50 per acre. This land,
which is practically useless for ordinary
purposes, is in line with and part of
the strip which Los Angeles proposes
to annex and it is thought that some
large interests may have plans for some
sort of dredging operations there.

Delegates Elected
The Missouri River Improvement as
sociation has elected delegates to the

valley convention at Minneapolis yes

sent that body at the Kansas City
meeting. The American mining con-
gress will be officially represented by
an influential delegation, as will also
the national irrigation congress which
recently concluded its session at Boise

Secretary Arthur F. Francis Of Colo

tion to the details of arranging for the
meeting next month, states that most
unusual interest is being manifested in
this years meeting Of the congress and
that there will be an attendance OF
delegates numbering from 1900 to 1000
persons.

resented as well as the valley Of the
Columbia river by some of the repre-
sentative strong business men Of the
far northwest. California and Utah
sentation to the congress, as will also
Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. The
Gulf coast country, including Southern
Texas and Louisiana, Will send an in
creased number of delegates, and
large representation is expected from
Arkansas, headed by Senator-elect
jeff Davis and Governor-elect John
Little.
The various commercial organizations
of all these states have selected repre-
sentatives, but the new state of Okla

H. Il. Hutchings, vice president for
Minnesota, reports that Minnesota will

DANGER SEEMS PAST.
Mount vesuvlus Now Has Exhaust
ed Its Volcanic Fury.
EHyELOPEDM BLACK PALLOF SMOKE


Naples April 14.-No better evi-
dence Of the improved condition OF
affairs in the section affected BY the
eruption Of Mount vesuvius can be
presented than the following telegram
from Director Matteucci sent Friday
evening from the observatory on the
side Of the volcano:
Last night and today the activity
Of vesuvius and the agitation at the
| surface Of the volcano sensibly dimin-
ished. Electric discharges ceased to-
day and the discharge was less abund-
ant From the presumed formation Of
the crater and other indications, and
II the news coming to me Is true Of
the cessation Of lava al, Boscotrecase,
| predict with reserve that IN two or
three days volcanic calm will reign"
The period Of danger has passed and
only desolation and slowly declining
panic remains. Mount yesuvius has
ceased to give any sign of life. The
volcano seems to have spent itself in
one enormous convulsion. Director
Matteucci, who heroically holds his
post In the observatory, believes that
the eruption has ended, and every out
ward indication confirms this view.
No more rumblings come from the
bowels Of the earth, giving terrifying
warning to the Inhabitants. The
volcano Is hidden behind thick cur
tain Of smoke Which rises from the
crater and then spreads and falls, en-
veloping vast circle in semi-darkness
Naples Is just beyond this circle, and
Friday the city was bathed In sun
shine while the ugly, black pail hung
to the westward over belt midway
between Rome and Naples.
vesuvius Friday bellies all popular
pictures, which represent the mountain
clearly outlined against the sky vom-
iting smoke and ashes by day and fire
by night. Not the slightest outline
was visible Of the crater, crest or
foothills, all being swallowed up in a
dense mass Of smoke. There was the
same obscurity Friday night, unreliev-
ed by flashes or reflected light such
as are seen during quieter periods.
vesuvius duiescent is picturesquely
grand, but active or smouldering 1t is
terrible only in It's blackness and OBJ
security.
After the last great eruption which
occurred in 1872 the land covered by
cinders did not produce crops for sew
en- years, and the losses'in this respect
alone averaged $2O,OOO,0OO yearly. It
IL believed that 1t will take ten years
to bring the land under cultivation
again.
