HOLLYWOOD COTTAGE

Repeated Losses Cause Citizens to
Express Sentiments In No Un.
certain Tones Concerning
Futre Disasters

Fire broke out in an unoccupied cottage
on Holly avenue, between Wilson and
Benefit streets, last night about midnight.
The building, which belonged to William
Manning of Los Angeles, was destroyed.
The blaze was first discovered by Mr..
Williams, whose home is within twenty
feet of the burned cottage.
About fifty volunteers, responding to
the cries of neighbors, arrived shortly
and, forming a bucket brigade, succeeded
in saving the home of Mr.. Williams and
also that of w. L. Jamison, the latter
building being about sixty feet from the
burning structure.
Garden hose, wet gunnysacks and buck
cts were the only means at hand for sub
DUNG blaze, but as there was no wlnd
at the time the neighbors were enabled
to confine the blaze to the cottage.
The building was valued at $12OO, ana IS
said to have been insured.
Fires have been quite frequent in Holly
wood recently, and the residents are in
a frame of mind which BODIES no good for
any one who may be caught in the act
of burning building.

Mental Picture Of Deathbed Scene Is
Confirmed by Letter from
England Two Weeks
Later

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 16.-What appears to
be remarkable psychical experience has
lust been undergone by the Rev. Henry
Rollings, now taking special course IN
the New York Homeopathic Medical col
Ieee in that he saw In vision the death
of his father, although 5000 miles sepe-
rated father and son at the time.
Moreover the deathbed scene as the
Young clergyman saw it in his minds eye
was corroborated in every detail In let
ter two weeks later.
Rev. Mr.. Rollings received his theologi-
cal education in England and was Or
dained in the established church.
He came to America and for time was
curate of st. Andrews parish Of Rochester,
N Y, of which the Rev. Algernon s.
Crapsey was then rector. Rev. Mr.. Rol-
lings' father was Godfrey Rollings Of
Bedfordshire, England
They were much attached to each other
and kept in close touch with each other
by letter.
Rev. Mr.. Rollings, describing his ex-
perience, says that after a particularly
arduous day he threw himself on his bed
exhausted and fell into a sleep from
which he was awakened by vivid pic
ture. ...-.,...a
He saw his father as distinctly as he
ever saw him in his life and heard him
call my boy, my boy, am dying!
Sees Death Scene
His father, he says. was lying in bed
in room which he did not recognize, but
knew from the furnishings to be English
He saw all of his relatives there ex-
cept his sister, and he wondered in his
vision why she was absent.
He saw his father sink back In bed and
he knew for a certainty, he said, although
1t was not an act of sensibility he was
performing that his father was dead.
The letter from England fortnight
afterward said that the elder Rollings died
on the exact day and at the exact hour
that the younger Rollings had had his
death pictured to him.
Not only that, the letter said that the
elder Rollings said just before he passed
away that he could see his son standing
by the bedside.
The strange room in the vision was ex-
planned by the statement that the family
had moved from the old homestead to an
other house in Bedfordshire and in the
absence of the sister from the room, which
was explained by the statement that at
the time she was ill.,

Ministers Approval Hearty

Clergymen of the various denominations
throughout Los Angeles yesterday voiced
their approval and good wishes for the
change made in The Herald.

men who heartily expressed their ap-

Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage, pastor of

THE platform outlined by The Herald
is the only true platform of municipal
politics which a paper should espouse.
We take national politics in the issues,
but in municipal affairs we take the man.
The city is a great business, and the
man is the great thing. 1 wish The Her
aid godspeed. 1 hope to read 1t every
day right here in Los Angeles for $50
years, and then I might go to heaven"

Theory Advanced That Piece of SCOT
PrematureIy Discharged Powder. =
Another Succumbs to Deadly
Burns

BY Associated Press.
: WASHINGTON, July 16.-It is said at
the navy department that it is ex-
tremely improbable that the explosion
aboard the 'battleship Georgia has re-
suited from any carelessness on the
part of the personnel of officers or
crew.
A short time ago a thorough inspec-
tion was made of every detail of the
Georgia's ordnance by Commander
Schofield, one of the most expert of the
ordnance officers of the navy.
This inspection included every one of
the guns, the details of the turret me-
chanism, the workings of the ammuni-
ton hoists, which in the case OF the
superimposed turrets of the Georgia are
rather more complicated than in the
ordinary type, and finally and most i'm
portant the handling of the guns and
mechanism and ammunition by the
sailors.
1t was found that the ships company
was very efficient at all points and 1t
was claimed that they were following
closely the firing regulations in every
essential detail.
SCOT Fired Charge
In the absence of any other plausible
explanation the officials here are dis
theory advanced by some of the Geor-
gia's officers when they came ashore at
Boston that the powder charge OF the
eight-inch gun was fred accidentally
by a clot of SCOT, which came floating
down smouldering from the ship S
smoke pipe and settled by chance into
the open scuttle on top of the turret,
alighting directly on the fifty-pound
bag of smokeless powder In the arms
of the loader at the breech of the gun.
The following telegram from Presi-
dent Roosevelt at oyster Bay regarding
the accident of the battleship Georgia
was received at the navy department
this afternoon:
"I am inexpressibly shocked and
grieved at the dreadful accident on the
Georgia, and the death of the gallant
officers and men. I wish full particu-
lars at the earliest possible date Let
me know the condition of the wounded
men. Repeat this to the captain OF the
Georgia"

On being expelled from Italy they

The new dress is excellent. If you use
