LIMNARD RESIGNS HIS OFFICE
President of Pasadena Board Of Trade
& Steps Out-A. J. Bertonneau
Probable Successor
to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Oct, 5.-The sensation Of
the week was the unexpected resigna-
tion Of President d. M. .Linnard Of the
board of trade today. Mr.. Linnard had
given no intimation of his proposed
action to any save his fellow directors,
and something very like CONSERVATION
was created by the announcement.
SMr. Linnard gives as his reason for
his resignation press of business
through the multitudinous duties in
Connection with the management of his
two great hotels in, Pasadena and Long
Beach. This is undoubtedly the real
reason for his resignation, as the ut
most harmony exists among the direct
ors Of the board Of trade
In all probability, while no selection
has yet been made, Vice President A. j.
Bertonncau will be elected by. the di-
rectors to succeed Mr.. Linnard This
will create a vacancy in the directorate
and it is generally conceded that Harry
Geohegan will be picked for that place.
4The board has a membership of 600 OF
the most prominent men in the city,
and its president has power second only
to that of the mayor.

lowed by Parade

owned the town this evening, the occa-
sion being the annual football rally

B0NNALIE BURNED IN
EFFORT TO SAVE HOME

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Oct. 5.-John b. Bonnalie
went from his house to the barn this
morning, and when he returned it was
to find that gyease from some meat he
was frying had ignited and set the
building on fire,
In his endeaVors to put out the blaze
the house owner was frightfully burned
about the face and hands. BY the time
he had recovered sufficiently to call the
neighbors the building was doomed,
and In an hour only pile of smolder-
ing embers marked the place where u
$4,000 residence had stood
The house stood on San Pasqual
street, between Allen and Craig ave-
nues, just outside the city limits. For
that reason the local department did
not respond to the alarm, as the fire ap-
paratus is not allowed to leave the
city.
! Nelghbors saved the piano and other
valuable articles of furniture, but Mr.,
Bonnalie was so badly burned he was
unable to even direct operations or tell
where the most choice articles could be
found. He was alone in the house at
the time of the fire, his family being at
Long Beach.

Deadly Weapon, Appears
In Court
Special to The Herald.

LONG BEACH, oct. 5.-The pre-
limiuary examination OF Mrs. w. n.
Wilson, charged with assaultlng Wal
lace p. Belden with intent TO kill, re-
suited this afternoon in the woman's
being bound over to await trial on
the lesser charge of assault with a
deadly weapon. She was released on
$1,000 bond. She was represented by
Attorney F. A. knight.
Three witnesses were examined,
Richard West, Belden's brother-in-
law, and two members of the Majestic
rink band. All three saw the shoot
ing, but none could give any testi-
mony as to Mrs. Wilson's intent. AS
malice was not proved the charge was
changed.
Mrs. Wilson shot twice at Wallace
Belden on the Pike one midsummer
night, when the beach thoroughfare
was thronged with people. She failed
to hit the man. and her husband, leap
ing from behind the counter of their
confectionery, pursued the fleeing
Belden down the cement walk with a
shotgun in his hands. He was caught
and disarmed by four men. Wilson
shot and killed Belden short time
afterward at Second street and Pine
avenue. Belden, who was drummer
in the Majestic rink band, was ac-
cused of having n1istreated Natalie

BACK TELESCOPEO;

Unusual CASE COMES FROM
FRIGHTFUL FALL
Carpenter TumbIes From House Roof
In AItadena, Two Vertebrae
Being Forced Into Normal
Space Of one
Pasadena Agency,
l6h East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 752.

PASADENA. Oct. 5--With two YER
tebrae of his back telescoped, Frank M.
Walker aged 76 years, is still alive this
evening and his physician, DR.. H. w.
Murray, states that there is a fighting
chance that lie may recover. The in
jury sustained by the aged man is
probably the most peculiar ever en-
countered in an accident case in Pasa-
dena
Walker was at work ON the roof Of a
house on Athens streets and Lake ave-
nue., Altadena, this morning when he
fell to the ground. The only man who
saw him fall states that the carpenter
struck on his shoulder, but the doctors
say that this is impossible, as there is
no brulse on the shoulder and the dis
tance through which the man fell Is so
great that had he alighted as described
his shoulder would have been fractured.
The doctors also say that he could not
have been injured in the peculiar man
ner he was in any such way.
When picked UP the man was
paralyzed from the waist downward.
He was at once hurried to the Pasadena
hospital, but the extent and nature Of
his injuries were not known until after
an operation performed this evening.
1t was during this operation that the
doctors discovered that the vertebrae
had tlescoped, one crashing into and
partly through another.
DR.. Murray says that the outcome Of
the old manss battle for life will not be
known perhaps for months. In such
rare instances as there has been SINH
lar injury where the sufferer did not
die at once from his hurts death has
usually not come for months and then
principally from poison absorbed be-
cause some of the organs of the body
became paralyzed and refused to work.
Walker lives at the corner of Sacra-
mento and Santa Rosa streets in Alta
dena and he has two SONS living in the
east, They have been notified of the
accident to their father.
The injured man himself is abso-
lutely unable to tell how. he happened
to fall or where he struck. The only
evidence Of a blow found by the doctors
was heavy bruise directly over the
telescoped vertabrae.

POLICE RAID DEN
AND CAPTURE GAMBLERS
SEVEN POKER PLAYERS LED TO
STATION
Are Allowed to Go on Payment of $1g
Each for Ball, Which 1t Is Ex'
pected They VIII Forfeit Rather
Than Stand Trial

AS a result Of raid on a poker room
at GAS East First street made last night
by Sergt. Dixon and Patrolman Peter
son seven young men, most of whom
gave fictitious names, were lined up
before the desk sergeant at the central
station, were placed under arrest, but
were released subsequently after de-
posting $15 bail each for their appear
ance in the police court at 9 O'Clock
this morning There were eight men in
the game but one got away Those ar
rested gave their names as Isadore
Roth, H. Appelbaum, w. Karpis,
George Thomas, M. Baker, Louis Ludig-
son and A. Williams.
The men are Jews and the room in
which they we're playing has been
known to the police for some time as
rendezvous for young bloods of that
race who are fond of the Illegal game
of draw. Before breaking in the door
of the room the police officers watched
the game for about fifteen minutes
through a transom. 1t was 1.-TWO bit
ante" and the officers watched long
enough to see several fair sized pots
won and lost. Then Dixon planted his
right foot against the door, sent 1t
flying inward and landed at the poker
table, his arm encircling the pot before
the startled players knew what had
happened.
When he burst in the door the table
was covered with silver no chips being
used. Each player had more or less
imposing stack of coin of the republic
in front Of him, and all but one sue
ceeded In pocketing the money before
the officers could get it. One man
neglected to pick up silver dollar and
IL was confscated, together with the
1925 in the pot and quarter Sergt
Dixon found on the floor. The money
is being held in evidence should any of
the men elect to stand trial. 1t is more
than likely however, that they will
forfeit their bail money.
The players took matters calmly, but
begged to be allowed to walk to the
station instead of being compelled to
ride in the patrol wagon. This request
Sergt. Dixon granted on their promise
that none of them would try to escape.
This promise was broken, however, by
one of the number, who slipped down
a dark hall on his way to the stairs
and disappeared. The police expect to
arrest him later, as his identity is
known. The room was No. 65. ON the
fourth floor OF lodging house.

I'VE are from Amsterdam" so the

clogs and white caps they might nave
been mistaken for troupe of Dutch
immigrants Just over from the old couil-
try II IL hadn't been known that they
belonged to the juvenile choir of Christ
church, who were presenting the mu-
steal comedy, "a Trip to Europe last,

Star Irish, as the chaperone, dis
charged her duties we'll. even though
she did firt outrageously with Dick.
But Miss Rachelle Walters as Dick was
coy and cute enough for anyone to fiirt
with and the chaperone couldn't be
blamed for succumbing to his charms.
Portia Newport as Mamma Harong-
sauef is a. little actress. She did well In
her wooden clogs, and she has wonder
full voice. Its sweetness and power are
very pronounced in such a child. Ver-
non Boetin as Papa Haronsauer has
another fine voice. He reaches his notes
with such facility and sings naturally
and seemingly without effort.
Gertrude Meyers Gladys Hanst, Lucy
Klingelsmith, Natalie Pomeroy, Jennie
Welsh, Irene Parle, Mary Hughes and
Portia Newport we're the nine Dutch
daughters, and they stamped across the
stage in their wooden shoes with such
good will that 1t seemed as II a regi =
ment was coming.
Act Like Professionals
Theodore Lee, as Captain Dodo, looked
up at his sailors from his three-feet-six
to their five-feet-three, but all the same
he commanded in a manly little voice,
and they obeyed to a man. He and
Baker p. Lee jr., as the first mate Of the
ship, kept the watch from the bridge
over the whole assembly.
Myrtle Pullin and Emma Pullin
danced while the whole chorus sang
Dixie, and they were gracefulness itself.
Their legs, arms and heads all went at
the same time until one could just see
the little pickaninnies dancing in their
cabins.
Gladys Hanst, dainty little figure in
scarlet, danced several times and went
through figures that would have done
credit to professional.
Charles Putnam. and Vinton Wells,
two newsboys, drew the prize card for
originality. They talked a great deal
of the time and they were so quick and
sharp that their talking seemed COM
posed on the spot.
One hundred children's voices were
in the chorus as sailors, tourists and
Christ church cadets in uniform, and
they had been admirably trained Great
credit is due to their director, Mrs. Eu
gene Torrey. The voices were in per-
feet unison and time, and the children
themselves were the most self-possesSed
little persons Imaginable.

Special TO The Herald
PASADENA, Oct. 5.--while opening a
carton containing felt shoes an em-
ploye of the Sargent Shoe company last
evening discovered IN one corner Of the
box woman's handsome and costly
gold watch and chain.
So far as Is known the box had not
been touched since its arrival from the
Dolgeville felt works, and the mystery
of how the timepiece came in the box is
a IS yet unsolved.
Mr. Sargent went to Dolgeville but no
one about the factory could tell him
anything about the costly timepiece.
1t is supposed that the watch was
stolen and that some man, possibly one
OF q half dozen porters employed by the
company, placed the timeplece there III
order to hide It. and among thousands
of boxes was never able to find II again.
The box came from the DolgevillG
factory last December and had been
untouched on the shelves all these
months so far as Mr.. Sargent knows.

KITE-FLYlNG.
How to Make One That Will Climb
the Wind-Mistakes to Be

The principal point in preparing a
kite, and the one that shows skill in
the maker, is the arrangement Of the
string and the tail. But, first, about
the making of 1t. A very pretty one
may be made like that in the illus
tration, which is after a Japanese
model, by taking the thin strips Of
bamboo that are found in Japanese
fans and arranging them as shown
and then covering them with tissue
paper.
Several short strings should be tied
to the frame, and these should be
united by knot, to which the string
Of the kite is afterward fastened.
The knot must be so placed that when
you lift the kite by 1t, before the tail
has been attached, the kite should
hang with it's sides perfectly even
and the point where the tail is to be
attached should fall slightly lower
than the top. The proper flying Of the
