The horse was killed in the collision
 Coroner Mix ordered the crew of the train-Engineer s. s. Johnson and F. P. Hart-to his office for an investigation yesterday afternoon. The coroner was in New York last evening, so his yer dict could not be obtained, but it is thought that no blame can be placed on their shoulders, the absence of a fiagman being held responsible by rest dents of that part of the city. The crew explain that they were running up to Huntsville to hitch on to train of cars. They did not see the grocer until nearly upon him, and stopped as soon afterwards as possible they say.s
 MT. Freedman leaves a wife and two small children. He was thirty five years old. He had lived in this city five years, coming here from New York state.

While the balmiest weather in the

geles yesterday Chicagoites we're muf-
fling their noses and ears to keep from
being frozen to death by temperature
of 16 degrees above zero.
The maximum in Denver was 6S de-

colder than this thrice blessed city.
Jacksonville, Fla, where the palms
grow within a few hours journey of

North Platte, Neb., which ranks with
Dawson City as a winter resort, was
three degrees warmer.
Yuma made the nearest approach of
equaling the record made by Los An

six to the bad.
The prophecy made by the weather
bureau of Los Angeles in regard to ap-
preaching climatic conditions is as fol-
lows: There has been no decided change
in the weather conditions west of the
Rocky mountains. The high pressure
area continues over the northern states
and the low area in Southern Califor-

dry, northerly winds The conditions
continue favorable for fair weather,

Unrestrained Operations In the Past

Numerous cases of petty thefts as well

Estate--Young Wife
Disappears

Mrs. s. L. Morrow the beautiful
young bride of S. l.. Morrow, who is
the son of wealthy Pennsylvania coal
operator, disappeared under the most
peculiar and mysterious circumstances
three weeks ago.
Mr.. Morrow was called to his home

to bushes connected with the settle
ment of an estate. He was to have
been the recipient of $4,000. Within a
few hours after the departure of Mr..

Mrs. Morrow left the apartments where
they had been living and since that
time the distracted husband can obtain
no trace of his wife.
The couple had only been in this city
for four mont this, their residence before
that time being in Pennsylvania.
A detective has been put to work to
discover If possible the whereabouts of
Mrs. Morrow.

INvENTS AUTOMOBILE CLUTCH
Moroseo's Chief Electrician Devises a
Lever That Controls Four
Speeds

Manager Morosco's chief electrician,
Frederick Miller, has invented an au-
tomato automobile clutch that bids
fair to create a sensation.
Mr.. Miller is an electrician. but has
made deep study of both steam and
gasoline motive power. For years he
has been at work on an automatic
clutch device that could control with
but one lever the four speeds of an
automoblle-three forward and one re-
verse.
His new invention he claims is prac-
tically unbreakable, dust proof and
noiseless. BY an automatic arrange
ment the clutch is thrown out when
a change of gear is made from low
to intermediate or high and after the
operation has been completed meshes
again with the one movement. The
lever Is situated just inside the seat
and always within easy reach. Even
when the engine Is running at its
highest speed the gears can be changed
either way without the slightest dam
ger of stripping.
When Manager Morosco went east
two weeks ago he took Mr.. Miller's
invention with him to exhibit to the
largest automobile factory in New
York and states that negotiations have
been all but completed for the pur-
chase of the American rights.
Mr.. Miller has been In Los Angeles
but short time, but his electrical
effects are we'll known to local theater
goers through his FREELY scene In
"Mizpah," the blazing cross in "The
Light Eternal" and his phenomenal
lighting of the harem scene in the

Proud Prince"

Her horse took fright at passing

coast line few miles west OF Santa
Barbara, overturned the buggy, ana
threw out the occupants.
Mrs. johnson, who was driving with
her son Olin, received injuries that
resulted fatally. Whether or not this
somewhat unusual proposition In law
practice will be made one of the main
defenses of the railroad company is
not known, but the opinion that fa-
talism has something to do with the
accident came out during the examin-
alton of NJ. S. Currier, one of the
witnesses for the defense, yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Currier said that Rev. Frank
W. johnson, husband of the victim.
had told him two days after the burial
of Mrs. johnson that fate had pur-
sued his wife on that last day of her
life, and that every circumstance of
the trip to town and the return gave
evidence of the uncanny influence of
the power over which human will is
helpless.

horse, but on that day the mother had
the horse ready for the trip. The boy
usually had to change his shoes and

no real need of them going to town,
he told me, but it seemed that they
must go. and that fate had decreed
that they were to meet that particular
train in that particular place and at
a time when, had there been the

would have been a mile or so away"
