PASADENA, Feb. e.--Dr. w. A.
Cundy, a former we'll known young
physician In this city, has returned
from a several months absence on pro-
fesslonal business and It Is stated that
he returns richer by fully $4,000 than
when he left. The story possesses
something of romantic interest. Last
spring DIR. and Mrs. Cundy were at
Long Beach when the doctor was sum-
moned to attend Mrs. Fanny V. Tay-
lor, who formerly resided in Pasadena,
but who had taken up her residence at
the beach city. Mrs. Taylor was suffer-
ing from n cancer on the face and re-
qulred almost constant attention to
case her from the consequent suffering.
She sent for the Pasadena doctor fire.
duently and ended by urging him to re-
move to Long Beach in order to be con-
venient to her call. Failing to prevail
upon him to give up his practice and
make the change she then made the
astounding offer that she would deed
TO him her entire property in that city,
only retaining its use during her life,
IL he would consent to the change and
render her the needed surgical and
medical assistance until her death. The
lady made the offer in good faith and
after careful consideration of the mat
ter In all its bearings DR.. Cundy con-
sented. Mrs. Taylor finally succumbed
to the dread disease and the property
now belongs to DIR. Cundy. 1t consists
of large two and one-half story res
idence and five cottages together with
the land upon which they stand and is
valued at about $25,000. DIR. Cundy will
resume his practice in this city. Mrs
Cundy was formerly Miss Coolidge, a
daughter of d. w. Coolidge, secretary
of the Pasadena board of trade.

Throop girls will keep them company
with Miss Virginia Pease as chaperon.

Investigate the Academy
Lon II. Chaplin, editor of the Daily
News of this city and father of Ned
l.. Chaplin, the cadet dismissed from
Annapolis for hazing, is in Washing
ton looking after the legality of the
Investigation which brought about this
result. In a telegram today Mr..
Chaplin refers to the dismissal in these
words: THE counts in the charges
filed against him were very mild, and
were not defined by the law as hazing.
Witnesses declared on the stand that
there had been no severity practiced.
Although leaving no option as to
dismissal, a statute which had been ig-
nored for years has suddenly been en-
forced under the harshest interpreta-
tion The senate has asked the secre-
tary of the navy for a report in certain
cases. Congress will probably inves-
tigate the academy"

present. His physician was asked to-
night whether or not Mr.. Durhams
health would permit him to make the
trip without danger.
His reply was that in his opinion Mr..
Durham is physically able to take the
trip but that the necessary exposure of
the prevalent zero weather in the
eastern states in all probability would
bring on another attack of the grip,
from the effects of which he is even
now slowly recovering. 1t is Mr.. Dur
hams present intention to remain in
Pasadena throughout the entire winter
season, so that when he does return to
the scenes of his former political
triumphs and later defeat he shall be
fully restored to health.
