Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, April 10.-Harry Zier
was thrown out in a bad runaway this
morning and considerably bruised and
shaken up, while j. e. Ayers proved
himself considerable of a hero by
climbing into the flying vehicle and
stopping the horse as it dashed through
the business center of the city.
Mr.. Zier, who is young millionaire
with some handsome horses, was driv-
ing west on East Colorado street when
his horse, which was hitched to light
rubber-tired runabout, took fright
and ran away. The animal over
turned the vehicle, throwing the mil
lionaire out, and then in it's struggles
righted the rig and dashed away
again.
After running a mile the horse
dashed through the business section
and at the corner of Colorado street
and Fair Oaks avenues Ayers climbed
into the swaying vehicle from the
back end and brought the horses to a
standstill
When Ayers drove the captured an
imal back to the corner of Colorado

chased by people who witnessed his
daring act and he was literally tossed
half dozen bouquets which he ac-

Elks, started to push the big Tourist
car which they will give away during
the Elks carnival into the II. S. Gala

their grand blowout they went away,
leaving the car upon the sidewalk
They were arrested shortly afterward
by Sergeant Kutz, who had come from

had unnecessarily blocked the sidewalk,
interfering with traffic.
The marshal and the three bther Elks

before the recorder and were fined $50
each. Judge Hart suspended sentence,
however. OF course the Elks deny that
the scheme was a deeply laid plot to

BATHHOUSE CLOSED
BY LEGAL PROCESS
SHERIFF IS NOW IN FULL POS
SESSION
Abbot Kinney Is Visiting Beach Re-
sorts to Get Pointers on His
Proposed New Bathing
Establishment

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, April 10.-Differences now
pending settlement in the Los Angeles
courts between the bath house lessees
and the Abbot Kinney company may
never receive further attention, be-
cause of the action yesterday of C. V.
Henderson in instituting foreclosure
proceedings against the lessees with
the result that such possessions as they
have in the bath house are now being
guarded by the sheriff, forcing them to
discontinue the operation of the estab-
lishment, thereby breaking the terms
of their lease and, it is alleged, leaving
them at the mercy of the Kinney COM
pany.
That bad faith has figured in the at
titude of Henderson in bringing suit
at this time is the charge made by ].
A. Bleakley one of those interested in
the bath house lease. In so much as the
Kinney company has repeatedly tried
to regain possession of the premises
and has charged irregularity in money
matters. it Is generally believed Hen
derSon was influenced in his action
through the possibility of being unable
to realize notes held against the lessees
in case of their being compelled to re-
linquish their lien on the bath house
premises.
In company with his business man
ager Abbot Kinney yesterday made a
visit to resorts adjacent to Los An
geles for the purpose of getting ideas
to embody in the plans for his pro-
posed new bath house, which is to be
built on the beach near Horizon ave-
nue.. The structure is to be the largest
and most elaborate in design of any
built for similar uses in Southern Cali
fornia, and is to be ready for the pub
lie by July 1. March & Russell archi-
tects. are now engaged drawing plans
for the building.

EARTHQUAKE UNDER SEA.
Effect Upon Fish of Destruction of Mi
mute Plant and Animal Life.

Far below the surface of the sea
the earthquakes make as much COM
motion as on terra firma The latest
volcanic eruption of Vesuvius was OBJ
served with respect to its effects in
the Gulf of Naples by DR.. Salvatore Lo
Bioneo. The day before the eruption,
says the Chicago Tribune, not sar.
dine was to be caught in the neigh
borhood, although it was the height Of
the sardine season, for by some sixth
sense the fish seemed to know of the
impending disaster.
The spawning of fishes was retarded,
oysters, clans and their kin were kill
er, and there was great mortality
among other types. Fishes that fire.
quent deep waters were somewhat pro-
tected from conditions prevailing at
the surface and escaped death, but ev-
identity they were thrown into a panic
that caused them to leave their natural
hunting grounds, for men fishing from
small boats caught species which nev-
er had been brought up before except
by a special deep water dredge.
The minute plants and animals COM
prising plankton, which form the main
food supply Of many of the marine ami
mails, were largely destroyed to a
depth Of ten fathoms, and as conse-
quence the scarcity of the food caused
the death of the fish to such an extent
that in Sardinia the fishing industry
practically was ruined.
One of the most curious effects of
the shower of cinders was to cause
certain animals to throw off all ap-
pendages in the endeavor to protect
themselves. The lobster is one of the
familiar animals that adopts the philo-
sophical plan of giving up much to
save more, and when caught will auto
matically detach claw and leave 1t in
the hands of its captor in order to es-
cape with the rest of its corporeal
entity.
The serpent starfish adopts the same
policy in time of danger, and as 1t is
exceptionally we'll provided with arms,
its chances of escape by autonomy are
correspondingly increased. When the
shower of cinders descended into their
world the animals accustomed to this
mode of defence responded to the dis
turbance in the usual way, by throw
ing off their appendages, repeating
the process as the irritation contin.
ued until they were completely dis
membered.

Philippine Tobacco.

Special Agent w. A. Graham
Clark of the Bureau of Manufactures
reports that tobacco is the fourth
largest export Of the Philippine ISL
ands, while in point Of crop value IL
is only exceeded by hemp and rice
Considered as a manufacture, the
making of cigars and cigarettes is
the largest industry in the islands
today. The largest company is the
Compania General de Tobacos de FIJI
ipiHos, with a capital of s13,500,000
The best class of Philippine tobacco
rivals that Of Cuba. A large quantity
goes to China, India and Australia,
and smaller quantities to England,
the Continent and the United States,
Exports of cigars amount to nearly
$1,00O,00O year. The islands con.
sumption is probably larger. Cigarettes
are largely made, but only $71,632
worth were exported last year. In

ency, which has compelled the post
ponement of much contemplated
structural work. Yet many Western
and Southern cities report building
operations in excess of last year. AS
the harvests progress there is more
disposition to increase preparations
for future needs.
Retail stocks have been depleted
by the customary bargain sales.
Preparations for fall and winter trade
indicate confidence in continued ac-
tivity
At most domestic points there is
no complaint regarding collections,
but reports from Canada indicate
many requests for renewals.
Leading industrial plants are well
occupied. Many mills have their out
put sold far into 1905.
Inquiry for pig iron has improved,
chiefly for small lots and prompt de-
livery. Customers for Bessemer iron
are notably urgent for quick ship
ment, but scarcely any can be had
earlier than October.
In most sections of the iron and
steel industry, conditions are more
quiet at this time than at any other
month of the year. The moderate de-
crease in new business of late has
received more attention than the
circumstances warranted, because of
the phenomenally active period pre-
cedjng.
Conditions in the cotton goods in
dustry continue satisfactory. Some
mills have contracts covering pro-
duction through most of next year
Manufacturers find no difficulty in
maintaining their prices at the top.
Some plants have been compelled
to stop machinery until the produc-
ton of gray goods is caught up, but
otherwise the industry is fully occu-
pied and prices are readily main
tanned. One element of strength is
the high position of the raw ma
terial.
Weekly shipments of footwear from
Boston again exceed seven figures for
the year. The volume of new busi-
ness has improved over recent weeks.
Yet buyers persist in operating only
in accordance with actual require
ments
Business is more active in the
West. st. Louis manufacturers are
receiving orders more freely than
those in New England.

Child as Easy to Keep as Doa.

81 never see a society dame, be-
decked and bejeweled, fondling a spitz
dog, parading it as a product of her
femininity, that | do not revolt" said
Frank S. Roby, judge of the Indiana
appellate court, in an Independence
day address made at Albany, Indiana.
Judge Roby spoke in commendation of
three institutions that he thought
were epoch-making-the juvenile
court, the state board of health and
the board of state charities.
1t was while speaking of the work
of the board of state charities that
Judge Roby made the remarks already
quoted. He said:
'It costs no more, either in money
or time, to rear child than it does to
keep a dirty-nosed, red-eyed, long
haired spitz dog. The tramps of the
boulevards who are too rich to have
children of their own do not go out
for homeless waits. The poor must
help the poor. If there is a vacant
place at any hearth or in any heart,
let its possessor fill the place and have
q share in the great work which every
day is being done"
