RUNAWAY BOYS
ARE RECAPTURED
Youths Leave Pasadena ChiIdren's
Home to Roam in Mountains, but
Discover the Necessity of
Food and Shelter

Three boys, who are said to have run
away from the Pasadena home for the
training of children, were arrested last
night and taken to the police station.
The boys were taken to the detention
home for the night and will be sent
back to Pasadena today.
The boys We're Everett Roberts
George Wolfe, each IA years of age, and
Harold Duff aged - years. The boys
are inmates of the Pasadena home and
have been there two years. When ar
rested last night they at first refused to
tell anything of themselves.
According to the story the boys finally
told, they had become tired of the life
at the home and wanted to get out and
see the world They left the home Sun
day afternoon and took car to Sierra
Madre, as they wanted to climb Mount
Wilson. They made the trip to the
summit, but as the price of food and
lodging at the hotel was beyond their
means, they Jere forced to come back.
Roberts. the leader of the three, has
an uncle. Theodore Harwell. living at
1863 North Clarence street Los Angeles.
The boy took his friends to his uncle's
home. and they told him they had run
away from the Pasadena home. Mr..
HarWcll notified the police yesterday
ana an officer was sent for the boys.
The boys were sulky because Of their
capture. and would not say why they
had run away or whether they had ever
run away before. Roberts said last
night: "Wcll they can take MS back
to the home but they can't keep us
there"

FURNITURE DEALER
TALKS OF STYLES
President Of California Furniture Conn.,
pany Returns from New York
with New Goods and
Ideas

A. H. voight, president Of the Cali
foTnia Furniture company, has just re-
turned from the east where he went on
a purchasing trip.
Mr.. Voight spent most of the time
during his absence from Los Angeles
in Grand Rapids, Mich, the great fur
niture market of the country, but he
also went to Chicago and New York to
look over the stock there.
Some people think it strange that
we have to make these purchasing
trips just like the clothier and the mill
liner, but styles in furniture change
Just as they do in dress" said Mr..
Voight yesterday afternoon.
"Of course we do most of our pur-
chasing in Grand Rapids, but there are
always a few pieces, chiefly period fur
niture, which can be picked up in New
York better than anywhere else.
"Some of the best things 1 have seen
in furniture are in the colonial lines.
Colonial furniture never goes out or
style. 1t is not a fad but staple. Ma
hoganv bears the same relation to other
woods as diamonds do to other stones,
and a person always feels in buying
mahogany that he is buying something
with a fixed value.
I'm California the colonial style of
house is becoming more popular all the
time and a great many will be built,
though of course the mission or Spanish
style of architecture, which is really a
revival of the old English, will always
be popular
THE market is a delight at present.
There is simplicity of outline and
beauty in color combination which is
most attractive.
Anyone who has an old mahogany
sofa with a hair cloth top-one of those
! that have been so much in the way dur
ing the last few years. this is the time
to bring it ont. Hair cloth is not seen
must but that is easily replaced by some
tapestry and the owner not only has an
heirloom but has something which is
just what the people of wealth are
looking for"

ELECTRICITY IS
FOUND IN WAVES
Inventor Has a Motor Which Experts
Declare Will Develop Power
to Light and Heat All
America

Promoters of the California Wave
Motor company met in room 43O Citi-
zens National bank building last night
and formally organized. officers were
elected and the wave men turned out
full fedged corporation
The officers elected We're: Alva L.
Reynolds, president; Amos Raymer,
vice president; H. E. Bennett. secre-
tary; S. L. Blodgett, treasurer; Amos
A. Fries, consulting engineer.
Directors of the company are Amos
A. Fries, Amos Raymer, Alva L. Rey-
nolds, j. L. Cobb, ]. f. Schweng, S. l..
Blodgett, H. r. Bennett, James Kerr
and G. A. Reynolds.
Committees were appointed on pros
pectus and advertising.
AlVa l.. Reynolds. who is the inven-
tor of the wave motor, said after the
meeting no time would be lost in be-
ginning the installation of a CONNER
cial plant at some favorable point on
the Southern California coast
1t is the intention of the Wave Motor
company to furnish electricity for light,
heat and power
The new contrivance is the invention
of A. l., Reynolds and his brother,
George Reynolds. the former well
known as being the inventor of the
Man Angel, one of the few airships
that really flies.
Mr.. Reynolds invention is radically
different from other motors for. while
former inventors have constructed ma
chimes that depend for their power on
the rise and fall of the waves, the
Reynolds motor gets its power from
the ebb and flow of the waves, or, the
i'm and out motion Of. the water.
Then, too. a violent wave does not
exert any greater strain on the motor
than more moderate one. as 1t works
on the principle Of a weather Vane and
receives only such force as is COM
municated to the machinery. This re-
duces to minimum the chances of
brcakage.
The new concern is capitalized with
a stock Of 81 900, 900.

HIGH WINDS KEEP
JACK FROST AWAY
No Danger Of Budding Plants Being
Nipped, According to Weather
Forecaster, Despite Chilly
Weather

High steady winds that blew the
dust in whirling eddies through the
streets proved sufficient to ward off
frost from this city late last night,
and at midnight the continuation of the
winds seemed to promise further pro-
lection.
High winds we're the principal feature
IN yesterdays weather. From early in
the morning till late at night gusts
swept dusty streets clean, and it needed
all the smiles of El Sol to keep the
weather at all comfortably warm.
According to Forecaster Wollaber
the oregon storm which had begun its
course down the coast switched off to
Nevada and from there eastward. This
storm caused slight precipitation in
southern California, but in this city
the fall was TOO small to measure. Mr..
| Wollaber thinks that all danger of
rain from this storm is now past.
Inc nrst bugaboo he considered a
false alarm. With a strong wind blow
ing the danger of frost is practically
nil. and Mr.. Wollaber said at a late
hour last night that in all probability
the winds would continue throughout
the night. He thought that the tenn
perature might possibly fall to 40 de-
greeS, but not lower
The state forecaster's prediction for
today is Clearing, colder Wednesday:
brisk north winds; possibly light frost
if wind lulls."
A slight trace of rain was reported
yesterday from San Francisco. In Salt
Lake city considerable snow fell. AL
though no phenomenally low temper
atures We're reported the thermometer
fell to 10 degrees below zero at North
field, below in Bismarck, IA above in

Coroner'S Jury Says
Accident
Recommends That City Authorities
Look to Ventilation Under Build
ines Where Such Precsu-
tions Are Needed

we. tho undersigned. believe that
John w. Main came to his death by an
accidental explosion Of gas or gases
and collapse Of a building at 112-1l4-ll6
West Second street, February 13. 1907,
and we do hereby recommend to the
proper city authorities that steps be
taken to investigate and improve, it
possible, the ventilation under existing
buildings If proper ventilation does not
now exist
These are the findings of the coroner's 3
Jury formed for the purpose Of fixing
the blame for the frightful catastrophe
In which six persons lost their lives
when the Rawson block collapsed as
the result of an explosion of gas two
weeks ago.
No blame was fixed on any person
or corporation for the disaster, al
though the only witnesses who testi-
fed for the gas company were en-
ployes of that corporation. Many WITT
nesses were called who contradicted the
testimony given by these men.
Plumber TestIfies
The jury completed it's work at noon
yesterday For four days it's members
have been listening to testimony in
regard to the explosion and the causes
which led up to it.
The first witness called yesterday was
Edward z. Wright, a plumber en-
ployed by &itson g. Jackson.
'I was instructed to go to the restau-
rant owned by Cressaty between s and
9 o'clock in the morning. he said.
when l arrived there Cressaty told
me of leak in the gas pipe. 1 exam
ined 1t and found what ! supposed was
the leak about two feet from the
meter. / then shut off the meter with
a stop-cock and went back to the
shop after tools.
II returned shortly before IL o'clock
and was standing near the pantry
when the explosion occurred. / do not
know whether the range was burn
ing"
Wright was replaced on the stand by
w. d. Powell, 645 South Hill street.
Powell is meter man for the gas COM
pany Powell said in case any calls
had come in from any place for as
sistance before o'clock on the date
of the explosion he would have received
them. When asked whether he had
received any such call from Cressaty's
restaurant Powell denied it.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined, among them members of the
crew which was sent to the restaurant
by the gas company to repair the leak.
These men denied having seen or had
any light in the vicinity of the pipes,
although they admitted matches We're
often lighted when meters We're being
read.

A LESSON FROM PRISON.

There died behind prison walls a
few days ago a woman whose illegi-
innate achievements a few years ago
brought her many thousands of dol
lars and in so doing wrecked bank
and brought disgrace and ruin to a
business man who for lifetime had
stood high in the estimation of his
associates. With the ruin of this
bank came the wrecking of the hopes
and the confidence of all of those
whose earnings had been sacrificed
In a western prison on the same
day another life passed out. This
man had been in his day considered
the shrewdest confidence operator
that ever gulled credulous public.
In his palmy days he had been term
ed 1.-THE king Of confidence men,"
n hiol al may Dc uTdWu lTOIu THESE
news paragraphs. Two thousand
years ago sentence of seven words
was uttered which is today as preg-
nant with truth as it was at that
time.
That sentence was 1.-THE wages of
sin is death" The only commentary
that can be made is that Honesty is
the best policy and virtue is its own
reward"
The lives of those who have gained
great wealth by dishonest practice
are ever unsatisfactory. Even when
the law does not grip the malefactor
in its iron grasp, conscience does it's
duty and turns to ashes the rose of
happiness which they sought to
pluck.

MACQUEREAUX MUST GO.

Lying on slab in the morgue is
the body of a creature who was once
a man. Long before his useless life
was snuffed out by a brave officer in
the performance of his duty, this
creature had ceased to be a man. At
the time of his death he was a hui
man vampire, whose sustenance was
gained by preying ON the weakness
of woman, and on the lusts of men,
This creature, dead to human
shame and human decency, too loath-
some to associate with men and
women of the high average type of

Ed Gilbert, officer and man, is
dead. He died in the performance
of his duty. The man who killed
him occupies a slab in the morgue.
Any word that The News might
say to the bereaved family of Ed Gill
tend to assuage the poignant grief
that has torn their hearts.
The News and every citizen of
White Pine county desire to offer to
these afflicted ones their deepest
sympathy
1t may be some comfort to their
hearts to know that Ed Gilbert was
a man, and that his sterling man.
hood, leonine bravery and unim-
peachable integrity are now and al
ways have been recognized and hon.
ored by his associates and fellow
citizens.
Ed Gilbert died in the performance
of his sworn duty as a peace officer.
In this he made the sublimest sacri-
fee to city duty that could be made
by any man.
His devotion to the members of
his family was the only devotion that
stood with him higher than his sense
of duty to his fellow men.
Kindly, patient, courteous, a man
of rare judgment in his peculiarly
trying calling, he commanded the re-
spect of all law-abiding citizens and
his courage and GOODNESS demanded
the respect and fear of those who
stood without the pale of the law
1t is men of Ed Gilbert's type who
stand for all that is good and true
and loyal in American citizenship.
May his loved ones find some con.
