On Monday morning last the east drift which had been started from the raise frcal the l 1.359, and which was in a distance of twenty feet, encountered . new body of ore, being oxides Of low grade, carrying punches of rich cu- prite fl tha face of the drift. Some of this CIT VIII assay as high as 80 per cent. Of course. the face of the drift is net all in this kind of ore, but it is there in goodly quantity, and the drift has been in the ore tOdy for the entire week, with no signs yet of pinching out. Tn the same drift being run west from the raise. the miners are work ing in leached material at present, having passed through twenty-foot ore body in this direction. The west
 drift from the No. raise also cut a nice body of ore and is at present To- cated in favorable leached material. Taking it all together, P. & D. is do. ing very well, thank you. About 150 tons of sulphides are being shipped daily to the (. x A. smelters at Doug las, and it is the intention to mix some of the oxides from the upper levels at an early date. All the ore being shipped for the present comes from the ,350.
 It is now currently reported that Senator Kncx has brought the Presi- dent round to his way of thinking on the rate bill. If the other Senators have the same luck the President will have some difficulty in recoIiecting what his original opinion was

DoMENICO RUSSO

Domenico Russo, now of Los Angeles,
out the leading tenor of the Lambardi
company, on it's previous visit, sang
Don Jose in Carmen" at the Audi
torium last night and redeemed the
performance, which when sung Monday
was the worst that that company had
given here. Russo also received a per-
sonal ovation from the very large audi
ence, and enough flowers to stock a
florist. In fact, at one point in the
second act the opera simply stopped
while ushers lugged great hampers of
blossoms to the stage.
Russo's fine, high, sweet and clear
tenor is too well known to need praise
from anyone in Los Angeles. Last
night to his charms of voice he added
marked ability as an actor, and his
Jose was far ahead of every other part
in the score save and lone Antol as
Escamillo. So good was it that he ac-
tually inspired Campofiore, who not
only sang better than before, but did
some acting herself that wasn't half
bad. Russo is better than any tenor
that Lambardi has with him, and the
maestro would show much wisdom if
he engaged the, local favorite for the
rest of his season-if he can

TOO MUCH WEATHER
FOR JUST ONE DAY
FORECASTER is REMINDED OF
PORTLAND
Wolaber Says He Has Had the First
Taste of Real Work Since Coming
to Los Angeles in May-Rain Not
Equal to Last Year

This is the first day that has
seemed like a regular weather bureau
day since 1 came here last May" said
Arthur b. Wollaber the genial wealth
er bureau man, yesterday afternoon
''The eight years that was in Port
land, Ore, before. coming here" con-
tinued Mr.. Wolaber, 81 had the river
service to attend to and being near the
track Of the storm it required much
work-and such contrast to the
weather bureau service in this COM
paratively dry country! But today
have been kept busy, it being the first
rainy day Of the season, there having
been only few small showers previ-
ously. At O'Clock this afternoon the
registration was .53 of an inch, maxi
ing SO for the season, as against over
one and one-half inches at this date
last year. The rainfall up to midnight
tonight will probably not come up to
that record. The total rainfall last
year was 1870 inches
"This rain is due to the rapid move
ment of a storm which was apparently
centered over Mexico yesterday. This
morning this disturbance was noticed
III well ueHneu IOTll over ATlZOlld. II
caused general rain in Southern Cali
fornia and considerable snow in Ne
Yada, Utah and Western Colorado.
1.-THE weather will continue unsettled
and probably showery tomorrow. The
rain began this morning at 1880 o'clock
and up to 5 O'Clock this afternoon the
heaviest rainfall was between 1920 and
10;3O O'clock, registering IL of an
inch"
Many were the surprised people
caught unawares yesterday. Although
II was generally conceded that the cold
snap ought to be broken by rain, no
one really expected 1t, and many a
pretty gown was given good drench-
ing yesterday. The umbrellas that have
been tucked away were brought out in
large numbers, forming oval canopies
over the heads of pedestrians that
thronged the streets.
The people from the east smiled at
the drops of rain in comparison to the
huge hailstones and snow flakes blow
ing in blasts and piling up In drifts
In their eastern homes they had Just
left. Others gave passing thoughts OF
the flooded districts In their former
homes as they jumped the little riVu-
let's in crossing the streets.
Dealers in rubber overshoes and um-
brellas did a rushing business, and
everybody went around with broad
smile on his face. Even the newsles
joshed each other and everybody else
on the wet" rain.

NEW COOK HAS
HER KINGDOM
NO HAPPIER WOMAN TODAY
THAN MISS ENID TAPIA
City Council Puts Kitchen at Detention
Hospital in Her Care and the
Board of Health Does
the Rest

No happier woman will be found in
Los Angeles today than Miss Enid
Tapia. !.-,.,
For seven years she has been cook
at the detention hospital.
She was anxious to continue in that
position, but there were so few meals
to cook for patients that the future
looked dubious.
She waited and. waited for an out
break of something, but the city was
so decidedly healthy that the poor cook
had to bide her time.
Finally the board of health found a
way out of the dilemma. The way was
found last night.
The members had persuaded the city
council recently to pass an ordinance
providing that the cook should get
wages of $50 month when there are
no patients in that hospital and SO a
day when there are.
The board last night officially ap-
pointed Miss Tapia to the position she
has held so long and there will be many
good meal waiting If any luckless
patients should be seized with a con-
tagious disease.

The failure of contractors to secure
seats for the buildings has caused some

MRS. SCHECK MAY
CO FREE TO-DAY
Decision to Be Handed Down by Judge
Trask Will Settle Question of
Facing Grand Jury ln-
dictment

BY a decision to be handed down this
morning by Judge Trask of the SUI
perior court Mrs. Aurelia Scheck, un-
der charge of perjury, will learn
whether she must face trial on a grand
Jury indictment or whether although
by her own confession she helped to
murder her husband she is to go scot
free.
The Scheck trial has dragged slowly
during the recent weeks of it's hearing
and the woman will have been in Jail
nearly six months even if she is re-
leased today.
When Scheck was found dead in his
bed with two bullet wounds to show
the cause of DEATH Mrs. 'Scheck told a
story of how burglars had entered her
home and of how she had seen them
stand by the bed and shoot her hus-
band. .,
When she was taken before the coro-
ner's Jury the following day to give
evidence she repeated the story under
oath and that was taken down in the
transcript.
Later she confessed that with Stack
pole she had plotted to kill her hus-
band. Stackpole was her lover and the
two were to make away with Scheck
and then go to Arizona. incidentally
Scheck was coaxed into taking up a
comfortable insurance.
Was Promised Immunity
AS soon as Mrs. Scheck confessed
that Stackpole had shot her husband
after she had let Stackpole into the
house at late hour of the night, Stack
pole was arrested and tried in the
lower court and then bound over.
At that time attorneys for the district
attorneys office promised Mrs. Scheck's s
attorneys immunity from punishment
for their client in case she would turn
states evidence.
Mrs. Scheck went on the witness
stand and told in detail the story of
the murder as she and Stackpole had
planned it. That evidence was also
taken down in transcript and when
Stackpole had been sentenced to life
imprisonment and Mrs. Scheck asked
for her liberty the evidence in the case
was taken before the grand jury, and
although the charge of murder against
her was dropped charge of perjury
was filed.
The two statements made under oath
and both so conflicting were used as
evidence.
Since that time her attorneys have
been fighting the grand jury indict-
ment on technicalities and today Judge
Trask will hand down decision either
giving the woman the coveted freedom
or compelling her to face a charge of
perjury in the superior court.

TO CHECK HUGE FIRE LOSSES
Building Authorities Join in Movement
to Carry on Campaign of
Education
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Organized
effort on large scale to reduce fire
losses is represented in the Interna-
tional Society of Building Commission
ers and Inspectors of this city, which
has just held it's third annual election
and issued a report of it's progress.
Free advice on the subject of fire pre-
vention is offered "to any municipal
ity, association or individual having
their own corporate or his personal in
terest enough at heart to ask for it."
The society is composed of the chief
officers of the building departments of
the large cities. Nearly every impor-
tant city in the country is represented
as well as many cities in Europe, some
of the members being from England
Austria and Mexico. Its work is di-
rected by the chief executive officer,
f. W. Fitzpatrick, one of the best
known consulting architects and au-
thorities on fire prevention in the
United States.
Through the societys efforts many
cities have already been induced to i'm
prove their building laws. The society
is also trying to get municipalities to
lower taxation on fireproof buildings,
while placing the maximum assess
ment on fire traps which are a menace
and the protection of which involves
big expense to every large city.
Speaking of the aims of the society
and the need for such an organization,
Mr.. Fitzpatrick says: Year by year
we burn up actually One-half of as
much as we add. During the last
month some cities have far exceeded
that average Atlanta erected $239, 1886
worth of buildings in September and
burned up $215, 900 in October; Buffalo
built $685., 800 and burned $4,000. Our
average annual fire loss is now $500, ,OOO,-
900; this year it will exceed $500, 900. 900.
The International Society of Building
Commissioners and Inspectors was
formed to carry on campaign of edu-
cation whereby the public will become
thoroughly familiar with what consti-
tutes fireproof construction and the
need that exists for it,"
