NOTED ARTIST COMES TO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Jean Pfister, Well Known Swiss
Painter, Will Sketch at oceano
and Afterwards Visit
Los Angeles

Jean Pfister, a well known Swiss
painter, whose works are on display in
the northern cities of this state, has been
interested in San Luis Obispo county by
the Oceano Beach Land and Improve
ment company through their local agent
in Sacramento, where Phster has been
staying for some time.
The artist will spend several weeks at
Oceano Beach and in the Arroyo Grande
valley, taking sketches of his surround
ings, which he will afterward put on
canvas. An order has already been
placed with him for large painting of
the Oceano Beach property, which will
afterward be. placed on exhibition in the
principal cities of the west Among the
most prominent of Pfster's works now
before the public in local studios is an
original painting of the city of Lucerne
in Switzerland, his native country.
Another is copy of Hector lie Roux's
famous 'sVestal Virgin" and is splen-
did bit of work. requiring nothing less
than the skill OF an artist in every sense
of the word for its execution.

ESCORT SAVES WOMAN FROM
FALLING INTO DEEP FILL
Orange Street Lake May Yet Involve
Municipality in Damage Suits
If Protective Fence Is
Not Built

The old Orange street lake. between Va
lencia and Wilmer streets, has claimed
another victim in Miss Katherine Fields
of 922 Blaine avenue, who fell down the
steep hillside and almost into the Shiny
fill.
Had not her escort, James Gillian,
caught her as she went down the steep
sides both might have been drowned.
The yielding earth gave both of them
partial foothold and they managed to
scramble out toward the top.
There is no fence there to protect pc
destrians, and but little light to reveal
the yawning depths below.
Property owners will ask the city coun-
Gil to have some protective fence erected
as the city is in constant danger of dam
age suits being filed.

DIP INTO RESERVE
7OPAY FOR SEWER
BOYLE HEIGHTS CUTS THE coUN-
Oils MELON
Non-PartIeans' Cherished Plan OF
Holding Out Emergency Fund for
Next Year Lags In Chairman
WalIace's Absence

Now that Councilman z. l.. Blanchard
has dipped into the city's general ex-
pense fund to get the Boyle Heights and
Arroyo de los Pesos sewer work done and
paid for it will shrink rapidly. Auditor
Mushet says at the present rate it wild
soon all be spent.
Aside from the extraordinary cost i'm
posed by the clean up of the city, which
10 charged to that elastic fund.- the board
CT public works has secured thousands for
the repairs of the weakened sewers cross
ing the river bed and for other purposes,
Councilman Lyon got 5000 for the Ala
media street cu.vert work, and thus the
precious sum set aside by the finance
committee is melting away.
Finance committee Chairman A. j. Wal
lace is absent in Washington and cannot
exercise the fatherly care over the fund,
and he will hardly recognize It when he
gets back. Mr.. Blanchard Is also mem
Ter of the finance committee.
Mr.. Blanchard says there is no help.
Boyle Heights lacks sewers, yet 1t was
promised portion of the sewer bond
moneys. These were all eaten up in the
outfall sewer, and now that this big inn
provement is out of the way 1t was only
fair to give Boyle Heights its own he
argued.
In the meantime the police department
is clamoring for new workhouse, and
it has been put off until Monday, when
plans are to be presented for the con-
crete buildings and fence enclosure to be
erected on the city lands in Chavez ra-
vine.

HUNTER DESERTED
IN MIDST OF PERIL
THE JUICE GAVE OUT, LEAVING
Mccoy IN THE DARK
UnfaithfuI Friends Sleep Comfortably
at Ranch House While Their Vic-
tim Guards Autos on Lonely
Country Road

All of his friends are joshing P. B.
Roy over little hunting trip that he
took few days ago, when the gasoline
gave out and he was compelled to sleep
in his automobile all night, while his
friends hoofed it through the mud and
darkness to a faraway village in search
of aid.
Roy started out with his machine an6
another auto, occupied by large party
of friends, including Bob Gollmer
Charles Eicholtz, F. ]. Mccoy, Harry
Kline and George Kline, last Friday tt
get the limit on McCoy's ranch, which
is on the other side of Chatsworth, about
fifty miles from Los Angeles.
Everything went beautifully and Roy
thought it was fine business until the
crowd reached Cahuenga pass, thirty
miles out, amid desolation and utter
darkness, when the autos squeaked and
ran down for lack of propelling dope.
With admonitions to Roy that he keer
stout heart the rest of the bunch left
him watching the buzz wagons while they
tramped it to the Encino ranch. There
they stuck for the rest of the night in
warm and comfortable sleep, while Roy
perched, freezing( in the dark many
dreary miles away. The next morning
the ''rescuing party" got a rig and rode
back with enough gasoline to restore the
exhausted tanks and relieved the unfor-
tunate Roy.
p. b. is still wroth over the affair, and
anybody can get rise out of him by
referring to 'that hunting trip to McCoy's
ranch"

he said.
But IL Mr.. Clark is now and then forced
to assume a seemingly harsh attitude
toward some of the largest banks In the
country, he is only too happy to talk
about his hobby-coinage.
with the ter millions we received to-
day. he began. I'VE have thirty-four mil !
lions in our vaults. This is all bullion
and most of 1t is refined. OF course, we
get from day to day small quantities OF
gold now that there is a premium on 1t,
from individuals. 1t varies In quanty,
but we are glad to get 1t. All gold or
this sort is subjected to a refining process.
We put 1t all upon a 1000 fine basis and
then make the alloy by mixing 10 per cent
copper for coming purposes.
"Once the gold is refined to this stand
ard it Is melted into ingots, rolled into
strips of the proper thickness ana cut INTO
blanks or planchettes.
"These are selected, that is, inspected
to see If they are of the proper shape
| Coins that are not are placed with the
| parings from the cutting and melted over
| again. The coins once selected are
| weighed For double eagle the stand
ard weight is GIG grains, but tolerance
| of half a grain either way Is allowed
Coins that fall below this standard are
put into the melting pot again.
when the pieces have been weighed
they are subjected to the milling or up
setting process. This consists in putting
the little ridge upon them that appears
when a coin is placed upon its side. After
this they are annealed and cleaned. This
Is done by dipping them in solution of
sulphuric acid.
"Then they are fed to the presses, ready
to strike. When they come out there Is
another Weighing process after which
the newly minted coins are counted and
placed in bags containing $4,000 each and
delivered to the superintendent of the
mint. He disposes of them according to
the sub-treasury orders on hand"
In the present money stringency the
Philadelphia mint is bearing the brunt of
the call for currency. The New Orleans
mint Is small and it's machinery anti
ouated; the San Francisco mint has a
heavy task on it's shoulders coming gold
for the immediate vicinity, while the
Denver mint cannot begin to supply the
demands made upon it.

POLICE BOARD WILL HEAR
HAWLEY CASE ON TUESDAY
Charge Of Drunkenness Against Detec-
tive Said to Mask Other Matters
Affecting Department Which
May Be Uncorked

The charges against Detective Albert J..
Hawley will be taken up on Tuesday by
the police board and a trial date will
probably be set.
Chief Kern suspended Hawley on
charges of drunkenness, though 1t is said
there are other reasons for the action.
Hawley, according to police gossip, has
always exerted secret pull that kept him
IN the department where others under
similar circumstances would have suf-
fered.
About four years ago Hawley became
prominent when, it was charged. he hid
in a closet while the Choissers, father
and son, were shot dead while resisting
arrest by other officers in lodging house
CT Fifth and Hill streets.
Back in 1894, when Hawley was doing
guard duty in the Southern Pacific yards
during the strike, it is claimed he re-
fused to enter house on Yale street,
near Bernard, when informed by inmates
that murder had been committed there,
until he had first gone after another pa
trolman.
The commissioners may not probe into
Hawley's record, though the policy to-
ward drunkenness has been severe during
this administration.

ton that the promoters of that locality
note the interest of a painter of this
mans ability in their midst. The glories
of the Los Angeles country have been
heralded far and wide through the skill
fulness of pen and brush not unknown
to fame, and have welded an influence
among a class of people which printed
literature is hard to reach. And now
comes redoubled attractive advertising

May the beauties of the valley of the
Arroyo Grande and the splendid stretch
of beach at Oceano do as good a work
in the studios for that particular
section as they have done for Los An

ings of Los Angeles have called forth the
admiration of two continents. Who can

exist there but are as yet hidden from

MAN SHOT IN
PISTOL DUEL
DETECTIVE HosIcK FATALLY
WOUNDS MEXICAN
Dying Man Makes Statement at Hospi-
tai Which Exonerates Policeman
of Ali BIame-Four Shots
Fired

Begdrio Delgatho, 30 years of age,
resident of Alamitos, was shot and fat
ally wounded on Commercial street
shortly after 10 o'clock last night by
Detective James Hosick of the police
department The shooting, according to
witnesses, was justifable, as the wound
ed man is said to have been in the act
of assaulting two other persons with a
revolver and when halted by Hosick fired
a shot at the officer which narrowly
missed taking effect in his head.
Detectives Hosick and zeigler, with
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Quinn, were
walking along Commercial street between
San Pedro and Los Angeles streets when
they noticed one man apparently chas-
ing two others but half a block away.
AS the officers approached the men
n shot was fired by one OF them in the
direction of the others. The officers ran
toward the man who had fired the shot
and Hosick cried, 1--WE are OFFICERS,
throw Nup your hands"
The man whirled in his tracks and
raising his pistol fired point blank at the
officer, the bullet whistling by his head
so closely he felt the air.
Hosick drew his revolver and fired at
the man, the bullet striking him in the
abdomen. The man staggered, turned
half way around, Strengthened up ana
raising his pistol arm snapped his weap'
on once more at the officer. The
cartridge failed to explode and Hosick
fired the second shot, which also TOOK
effect, and the man crumpled up IN a
heap in the roadway.
The other two men had, in the mean
time, ran away and disappeared IN the
darkness.
The patrol ambulance was called and
the wounded man was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital, where, after con-
sultation by the police surgeons, 1t was
decided his wounds were fatal and that
no possible efforts of surgury could save
him. 80
The wounded man was recognized as
well-known Mexican resident OF the
bay city and gave him name to the
officers.
He stated in defense of his action thae
he had been quarrelng with two Mexi-
cans whom he did not know. He salu
they had assaulted him and he was de-
Tending himself from them wnen tne
officers interfered.
Asked why he had shot at the onicer
he replied he must have been crazy anu
he did not know why he had shot.
He said he distinctly heard them say
they were officers and also the order 10
throw up his hands.
''I fired, / was crazy; l don't Know
why I did" he exclaimed
The statements of the wounded Mexican
and of Detective Hosick are borne out
by Deputy Sheriff Tom Quinn ana De-
