keeper Have Narrow Escape
from Dreaded Ptomaine

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Feb. 1S-Two people
stricken so that they could do nothing
for themselves and a third just able
to summon help over the telephone, was
the exciting outcome of a trio of
ptomaine cases this noon. The af-
ticted people are w. Clark of 249 North
Vernon avenue, his son and their
houSekeeper, a Mrs. Davis.
1t is supposed that the ptomaine was
eaten with the morning meal and sup
posedly fresh meat is blamed for the
poisoning. At any rate when help ar
rived, in the form of DR.. j. II. Nickel
lar, the two men were unconscious and
the housekeeper was nearly so.
DR.. McKellar at once set to work
and by heroic treatment succeeded in
getting his patients out of danger within
an hour, though all three are still very
i'll. This evening it is reported that
none of the three will die, though it is
admitted that both of the men and
the woman had a very narrow escape.

FROM HOME ARE SEEN
Cotton People Noticed Trio Answering
to Description Of Lena Germain,
Florence White and Their
Escort
Pasadena Agency
Il North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907, Home 2l24

PASADENA, Feb. 1S.-Word was re-
ceived here this evening that two girls
and a man answering to the dcscrip-
tion Of Florence White, Lena Germain
and their escort, supposed to have been
cnticcd from Los Angeles by an un-
known man, left the train at Cotton
at about 10 O'Clock last evening and are
supposed to have boarded the South
crn Pacific at that city for some point
east OF course no particular notice
was taken of the girls and the man
at that time, for no one knew they were
wanted in Los Angeles
The description given of the girls
noticed last night at Cotton tallies in
practically every particular with that
of Florence White and Lena German,
but those who noticed the girls did not
par particular attention to the man, so
that no adequate description of him
has been obtained.
1t is practically certain that the
three did not get as far as San Ber-
nardino, as the train was searched at
that point by men having the exact
description of the missing lassies. 1t
also seems certain that the trio did
not leave the train at Monrovia, to
which point they bought tickets in
Pasadena.
Had the alarm been sounded earlier
there seems no doubt but that the
three would have been captured at Col
ton. 1t is probable that a close con-
nection was made between the Santa
Fe, upon which the girls left Pasa-
dena and the Southern Pacific at Col
ton, and that the trio are now speeding
rapidly eastward if they have not al
ready left the train at some Arizona
point.
No one at Cotton reports having
noticed them board a train at that
place, but it is hardly possible that
they can yet remain in that city, as a
search is reported to have been insti-
tuted there which should have led to
their discovery, had they tarried on
their way through.

LONG BEACH DEMANDS
HARBOR REPRESENTATION
Special to The Herald.

LONG BEACH, Feb. 1S-The harbor
committee of the chamber of commerce
will at once address letters to Senator
Savage. Senator Broughton and AS
semblyman Thompson, insisting that
when Savage introduced his bill provid-
ing for the appointment of three harbor
commissioners Long Beach be repre-
Sented.
DR.. L. A. Perce. president of the
chamber Of commerce, and City Attor-
ney Monk say that Senator Savage
promised them there would be a clause
in this bill providing for two of the
commissioners from San Pedro and
one from this city, or one from each of
the bay cities, San Pedro, Wilmington
and Long Beach. AS the bill is now
prepared, however there would be COM
missioners from San Pedro and one
from Wilmington. 1t is felt here that
the harbOr facilities of Long Beach,
great now, and to be much greater in
the near future, demand recognition in
this matter.

CRANSTON PRAISES
B0YHOOO FRIEND
Tells Methodist Ministers of Great
Work Accomplished by Bishop
Hamilton In San Fran
cisco

At the meeting of the Methodist min
listers yesterday morning in the First
Methodist church one bishop addressed
the assembled clergymen while prayers
were offered for the recovery of Bishop
Hamilton, who underwent a surgical
operation in New York
Bishop Earl Cranston, who is visiting
in Los Angeles, addressed the ministers
and in speaking of Bishop Hamilton. a
boyhood friend, he said:
Never did a church give to one man
a greater responsibility than that laid
upon Bishop Hamilton in connection
with the establishment of the
Methodist churches in San Francisco,
and never did a man respond more
willingly, but the response was with
the last of his reserve strength. He
was not physically able to perform the
duty, and when he bagen the rest in
tended as a preliminary to the task
I believed that 1t would be for a longer
time than he himself expected"
In speaking of the work of the church
in Japan the bishop continued:
"From the time the general confer
ence in Los Angeles decided that the
Methodist interests in Japan should be
consolidated, there has been perfect
harmony between the commissioners of
the northern and southern churches,
ana Cfle CnuTCn OF CdHdud mas ldlleH
in we'll with the plan also.
"Six men, representing the three di-
visions of the church, will meet at
Toxic to conduct the business of con-
solldation, and the fourth Wednesday
of May the new organization, to be
known as the Nippon Methodist
church, will be formed. A bishop will
be elected to serve for eight years,
being eligible to reelection at the end
of that time If his work is successful.
1t is thought advisable that a bishop
be not elected for a life term until
the material OF the church has been
more thoroughly tested. The presiding
elders will be elected for four years
and may not be reelected until they
have served four years outside that Of
flee after the expiration of their first
terms"
A telegram was sent from the meet
ing expressing the anxiety of the Los
Angeles Methodists regarding the con-
dition of Bishop Hamilton.
