STOP WORK ON BANK TUNNEL
Special TO The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 31.--The city
trustees have notified officers of the
West minister company, to whom per-
mission was granted Monday after
noon to construct a tunnel under Pine
avenue, from Ocean avenue to Third
street, that the work must not be un-
dertaken as it is the intention of the
council to reconsider the matter next
Monday.
When the privilege was sought, the
statement was made that the purpose
of the tunnel was to supply hydraulic
power for the new First National bank
building at First street and Pine ave-
nue..
The trustees have discovered, how
ever, that the new National Bank of
Long Beach building, just across the
street, contains hydraulic power plant
and that in this case no siX-foot tun-
mel to the ocean was necessary.
Furthermore, the trustees think the
plans as stated by the Westminster
company are ambiguous, and also that
if such a tunnel is designed as the pre-
liminary step to the introduction of a
public utility that ii should belong to
the city.

CLEW IS SPIRITED AWAY

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, May 31.-There were
no new developments today in the Lo-
gan murder mystery, although when
some one started a rumor that GER
tain negro had been arrested for the
crime there came near being a Stam-
pede among the colored people of the
neighborhood until the rumor was
proven false.
There is considerable excitement
over the case, but the officers. of the
law insist that they are not going to
be driven to make any arrests until
they have indiSputable proof of some
sort.
A curious thing came to light today
in the absolute disappearance of a
handkerchief which was found lying
under the head of the murdered man
as it lay in the ditch below the Ray
mond hotel. This handkerchief was
not particularly scrutinized at the
time, but was placed with Logan's
clothing in the natural belief that it
must have been his.
Today some one desired to examine
this handkerchief with view to learn
ing positively whether it belonged to
the dead man or not. But it could not
be found.
The Presumption is that it has been
spirited away by some one interested
i'll destroying all possible cleWs and
that it did not belong to Logan at all.
This conclusion indicates how excited
the public mind is over the search for
the murderer.

Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
For eighteen years DR.. Miles
Nervine and Antl-Pain Pills have been

Wants Backing Of People

expense and before l will vote for it
will have to know that 1 am backed by
the people. l will resign before l will
take the responsibility of such an un-
warrantable expense on my own shoul-

The tax of the city as assessed and
collected the past year was only about
$10,000 and should this added tax have
to be paid 1t would entail double that
which the people are accustomed to.
This, it is said, will cause the citizens
