Good luck, Bob!
SUNDAY EVENING IN THE HARBoI

How stm the city rests; the roar Of
trade,
The ciamor in The crowded street has
Trembling and tossing on the rest
less tide
The shapes and shadows OF the harbor
fade,
And ali IS stm In somber tones
arrayed
The spirit OF the Sabbath mourns be-
side
Dead Sunday, DER whose grave night
seatters wide
The stars for flowers and the clouds
for shade.
Against an sshen background vaguely
nInned
The Titan buildings rear their broken
line
The customary constant lights are
diumed
Save for the vagrant wharf-lamps'
flickcTing sign.
1t is new New York that greets the
eye;
Strange silhouettes UPON a stranger
SKY.

MRS. NJ 'LACHLAN
PASSES AWAY
Congressman's Wife Succumbs in Her
Pasadena Home While Her Hus-
band Is Speeding West to
Her Bedside

Doctors and nurses spent a vain all
night vigil trying to keep life in the
weak body of Mrs. James McLachlan,
wife of Congressman McLachlan, at
their home, sos South Marengo avenue,
Pasadena.
Death cheated their efforts.
Her husband is hurrying west and
is about fourteen hours journey west
of Washington. He had been wired
Tuesday that his wife was sick, but
the telegram said there was no special
cause for alarm. Pneumonia had been
developing for five days. Then a heart
affection of years ago reasserted itself
and early yesterday an urgent tele-
gram was sent to Washington asking
Mr.. McLachlan to rush west immedi-
ately.
Mrs. McLachlan's mother, Mrs.
Jones, was with her to the end.
The decedent was formerly Miss
Jones of Ithaca, N. Y. She. and her
husband came to Pasadena twenty
years ago.
There are four children, who, in the
order of seniority, are Anita anc
Gladys, both high school pupils, Mar
gerry and Douglas.
Mrs. McLachlan's death came at
11:35 a. m.

PRISONER SAYS
Gets MORPHINE
IN CITY JAIL
Judge Startled by the
Declarations
Man Under Sentence Asserts He Cam
not Keep from Using the Drug
While He Is In lnsti-
tuition

II cannot keep from using morphine
Jail. The drug can always be obtained
there with the greatest ease. / had
some this morning which was given me
by one of the prisoners. We can always
get all we want of II there"
These were the statements made by
w. e. Russell yesterday when taken be-
fore Police Justice Frederickson to be
sentenced on charge of vagrancy.
Russell was arrested several days ago
and pleaded guilty to the charge. He
admitted using morphine at that time,
but begged to be allowed to go, saying
he would try to stop the habit If given
his liberty. Judge F'rederckson de-
cided to take the case under advise
ment and Russell was taken up yester-
day for sentence.
Il do not wish to sentence you, Rus
SELL" said Judge Frederickson, but
you say you cannot stop the use of
morphine. You are charged with be-
ing vagrant and admit that you have
not worked for several weeks. If 1 let
you go you will continue in your old
ways, so 1 think l will sentence you to
fifteen days. That will keep you away
from morphine for time"
Then Russell made the statements
that caused the judge to look at him in
astonishment and the court officials to
sit up and take notice.
Russell was closely pIIectiOna6 bu ,-a-
fused to give the name of the one from
whom he obtained the drug. The jailers
were notified and efforts are being made
to learn who was supplying the NOR
phine.
Supplying drugs to prisoners is a
felony and one man, George Watkins,
is now on trial before the superior
court for having been found with 1t in
his possession in the city jail
Judge Frederickson allowed his sem
tence of fifteen days to stand in Rus
sells case.

EPIDEMIC PERIL

By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The ap-
palling conditions in China, as the re-
suit of the famine, as contained in mail
advices reaching the state department,
coupled with the warning given by Con-
sui General Rodgers of the possible
effects of the outbreaks which daily
occur in the famine districts, have at
tracted the attention of the government
authorities, and developments will be
closely watched.
One of the greatest dangers relief
workers confront is an epidemic. In
the great concentration camps which
have been formed by refugees who have
fled from the stricken districts by the
tens of thousands, the people live some
of them only partially clothed. others
entirely naked, in mud huts held to-
gether by mating. Medical supplies
and skill are badly needed
The native officials and authorities
are doing their utmost to control the
situation, but the task is now far be-
yond them and outside aid is badly
needed.
The estimates have been made of the
cost of the feding of each starving
person. and the total amount will reach
close to 100000 daily

out the execution of = bandit who
made an unsuccessful attempt to
secure $500 from the Commercial
bank of Warsaw. ...
The man entered the bank this

quest was refused he announced

he received the money. The bank
officials feared to ask the police
for help and allowed him to stay.

men at once went to the bank.
They approached the man from
behind, threw a sack over his head
and then blew out his brains with
a revolver.
The police have not interfercd
