that he was more than pleased with tho
conditions there, and that the camp had
been a success in every way.
This Is the fifth year Of the summer out
ings committee, at Camp Good Will for
white children Mr.. Edison explained For
two years past 1t has been suggested that

and~it was finally decided by the summer
outings committee that IL the committee OF
co.ored people would raise $500 the summer
outings committee would also give the same
amount. This money seemed TO be prompt
ly raised, and. besides. the colored people
contributed toward fitting out the camp
"As result, the camp which has just
closed had be N running for aeks and
about 120 children of the poorest and fee
blest that needed the country air and sani-
tary treatment have spent six weeks at
this camp.

tirely managed by the colored people, un-
der the supervision of the summer outings

Every appointme MT of the camp, the
sleeping. cooking and grounds were in ex-
cellent shape, and certainly reflected great
cre dit to the committe. of colored people
in this work. -,
1T was regrettable that the camp could
not have continued for two weeks longer.
as at Camp Good Will, but the funds lhs
year did not warrant it. 1t is hoped that
next year the camp maybe establ shed for
eight weeks.
Those of the summer outings committee
who have visited this camp have been most
favorab.y impressed with the excellent
work that the colored people have done tho
first year. and will be deeply Interested in
what shall be done, and feel that every en-
couragement and cooperation should De

JOSEPH SMITH SEEKS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
UNDERGoEs cRoss-ExAMINATIoN
FOR HOURS
Calabasas Rancher Protests Innocence
in Connection with Disappear
ance of George w.
Nash

For hours yesterday District Attorney
Fredericks was 'closeted with Joseph N.
Smith, the Calabasas rancher, under sus-
picion in connection with the mysterious
disappearance of George w. Nash, who
leased his ranch at Calabasas to Smith
for three years just before his disap-
pearence.
Smith brought with him the lease signed
by himself and Nash and left it with
Fredericks. During his recent search of
the Calabasas district Fredericks went to
every ranch house and questioned every
rancher except Smith. Smith voluntarily
sought the district attorney.
''He could not stand the pressure any
longer" said Attorney Fredericks last
night. There are two ways of getting
at man. One is to arrest him and the
other is to fire all around him until he
begins to wonder why you don't take a
shot at him. Smith wanted to know how
he stood"
Smith maintained his innocence through
out the fire of questions during his exam
ination, which lasted from 10 o'clock un-
til s.
"I still believe the evidence points to
Nash having been killed rather than to
his having wandered away" declared the
prosecutor last night
Attorney Fredericks would not express
an opinion as to the guilt or innocence Of
Smith. He said he did not desire to en-.
croach upon the jurisdiction of the sher-
ifs office but would famiiarize himself
with the situation in preparation for a
grand jury investigation.
During the cross-examination of Smith
all the statements made by the former
were taken down by a stenographer and
will form a part of the testimony.

SANTA MONICA, Nov. n.-Believing
that r. A. Gaver, crook who has been
connected with railroad ticket office rob-
berries all over the country, had hand
in the burglary of the Southern Pacific
office in this city recently, the company
today posted notice of a reward of soOo
for information that will lead to MS

subject of a searching investigation by
Southern Pacific detectives, who say the
lob resembles closely one that Gaver
committed at Dunkir4, O., August lS
There are five other ticket office. rob-
heries for which Gaver is wanted by the
police of the middle west. His plan Is
said to be to get on terms of sociapillty
with the agent while buying a ticket and
then by adroit questioning, while he sur
yeys the interior of the office, prepare
himself for midnight visit. He never
bungles, the nicety with which he does
his work being it's distinguishing mark.

FOR SOUR STOMACH

This is one of the numerous re-
suits of faulty digestion and often
is accompanied by belching,
bloating, headaches and dizziness.
To relieve this condition and re-
store the digestive organs to
their normal condition the fol-
lowing formula is said to work
wonders:
1.-TWO ounces Essence of Pep
sin, three ounces Syrup of Ginger,
one ounce Catandir Compound;
mix these well and use in doses
of from one to two teaspoonfuls
after each meal, also at bedtime
for the first few days"
This can be prepared by any
prescription druggist or the in
gradients can be secured and
easily mixed at home.
This is what is known as the
Pasteur formula and most drug
gists are familiar with it's Won
derful curative powers on the
digestive organs and bowel tract
as it will in short time correct
their action and restore them to
a normal healthy condition which
means an Improvement in the

AGED PIONEER FOUND
PAINTING ON STREET
William Henry Warner, 90, Resident of
Los Angeles for sixty-flve Years,
Attributes Longevity to
Regularity

Ninety-eight years of age and resi-
dent of Los Angeles during the last sixty
five years, William Henry Warner in
days gone by one of the best known and
wealthiest contractors in this city, was
taken to the receiving hospital last night
in a fainting condition.
After being revived by DR.. Garrett the
old man told the story of his early days.
"I was born in New York" he said.
''In 1871 | started for the Pacific coast.
I was a middle aged man at that time,
but 1 decided to come west and start life
anew.
"On my way to Southern California ]
passed through innumerable hardships,
and had experiences such as even the
most romantic mind never dreamed of.
I went first via the great lakes to Chi
cago, then with a party of men to st.
Paul. We travelled heavily armed. as we
feared attacks from Indians on all parts
of the journey
From St. Paul we crossed to Montana,
coming from that section southwest into
what is now Oregon. From Oregon we
came south to California, and at San
Francisco 1 left the party had been
with so long and journeyed to Los An
geles with a party of trappers:. 1 first
settled at San Pedro, but after living
a
les and opened an office on what is now
North Main street. From the start my
business of contracting thrived.
about twenty years ago my health
gave away and I was compelled to give
up business. 1 had a good bit of money
laid aside, but foolish investments cost
me the most of 1t, and for some years
l have been compelled to exist on the
charity of friends of my earlier days.
The majority of them have now passed
away, and I suppose 1 must pass the re-
mainder of my life in some charitable in
stitution.
''To what do I attribute my long life?
I have never drank or used tobacco in
any form; have mad it rule to retire
at $3.50 o'clock and arise at $50. Not
more than a dozen times during the last
thirty years have I broken this last
rule"
According to the physicians at the hos
pital Warner has an exceptionally fine
physique for a man of his age, and
they say If properly treated and his
mind relieved from all worry it is prob
able he will live for many years yet.
