LONG BEACH, March 19.-while
Mike Darter, an employe of the Long
Beach Auto company, was returning
from Watts late last night. after hav-
ing repaired an automobile there, he
accidentally turned off the switch in
the front part of his car and the ma
chine came to a stop near the corner
of Eleventh street and Alamitos ave-
nue.. Not knowing what the trouble
was Darter got out and inspected the
auto. After locating the source of the
difficulty and remedying the trouble
Darter stopped to examine the ma
chimes under workings.
AS he did so he perceived that a man
was crouching behind the automobile,
apparently ready to spring upon him.
Darter boldly approached the stranger
and demanded what he wanted there.
The unknown man made surly reply
and started toward the auto man.
Darter knocked him to the ground with
a right swing. AS he did so a second
stranger came around from the front
of the car and started for Darter.
Darter also sent him down for the
count with one blow While the men
were scrambling back to their feet in
q dazed sort of way, Darter cranked
up his Tourist and speeded down Elev-
enth street.
1t is supposed that the two men
were walking along the thoroughfare
when Darter's machine stopped, and
that they suddenly planned to hold
him up.
Darter said today that he would be
unable to identify the two men, and
the police have no clew.

PASADENA, March 19.-with a
choice of self-preservation or injury TO
another, Leslie Conrad chose to brave
personal danger and drove a twenty
horse power Buick car into q Pacific
Electric Wentworth line car on East
Colorado street i'm front of the Southern
Pacific depot this afternoon. The crash
was not disastrous, and good luck
warded off injury from falling glass to
the chauffeur, who sought to avoid In
jury to a fellow creature.
Driving up the hill from Broadway
to Marengo avenue Conrad was going
at a slow speed with his hlll-clmbing
gear on. The car was creeping down
the hill at a snaiPs pace preparing to
stop for the Santa Fe crossing at the
foot.
Conrad was riding straddle of one of
the rails, and when he noticed the car
coming sought to evade collision by
turning to the right. He had already
given the wheel twist when he found
that to turn out would mean to crash
into a runabout in which two women
were riding. He swerved the big ma
chine back and sought to turn on the
other side. Again he was confronted
by a vehicle. But the way was clear
on the side on which he had first sought
to turn from the cars path. He
swerved the machine to cross the rail-
The tires of the wheels slipped and re-
fused to mount the steel, wet and slip
perry with the afternoons rains The
crash came, and Conrad met the car
head on.
Splintering glass from the autos
plate glass front and from the front
window of the street car fell all about
him. But only a few splinters left
their mark and but a few scratches
remained to tell the tale of danger
passed
The auto was going at much faster
rate of speed than the car. though the
combined rate of each when the strike
came was not over four miles an hour
But the force of the strike was enough
to smash the radiator and lamps on the
auto and to splinter the fender on the
street car Conrad was none the worse
for the accident, and a couple of days
in the repair shop will serve to repair
the injured steering gear of the ma
chine and to make it again ready for
the road.
The machine is owned by Louis Dietz
and had just been ordered to the Dietz
residence on South Catalina avenue for
service. 1t was en- route to answer the
call when the crash came.

CLERKS HAVE BUSY TIME
WITH DISAPPOINTED GUESTS

If you are living at a hotel, and the
storm puts the railroads out of busi-
ness, charge it up to the hotel clerk.
The blame for the disturbances in the
train schedules yesterday was heaped
on the heads of the helpless hotel
clerks of the Los Angeles hotels until
each separate and individual clerk
sought for a place to butt his head
against the wall and lie down and
perish.
Early in the evening a woman with
an impressive dowager empress coiffure
and a shiny black satin gown frou-
froued through the corridor of the
Alexandria hotel and demanded of the
clerk to know whether the owl train
for San Francisco would leave in the
morning. The clerk explained to her
that the train probably would not
leave, but that other arrangements
had been made to meet a train in the
San Luis valley. She interrupted
him by exclaiming that she had en-
gagged berths and that something
would have to be done about it,
30 yes. something ought to be
done about it," assented the clerk
weakly,

several different trains were going to
several different places at several
different times. and If not why not, or
why so, and If so when, and they
wanted to know 1t all at once. The

and then gave 1t up, referring them to

and the society for psychica research.

PHYSICIAN SAYS DANGER
LURkS IN SOAP AND WATER
BY THE EAvEsDRCPPER

B. B. Searles, the Chicago physician
who advises his patients not to bathe
and who says he has not taken bath
for more than five years, is at the
Alexandria. DR.. Searles is the advocate
Of a system of vigorous massaging,
combined with an entire change of all
garments every day. which he says Is
more cleanly, and much more sani-
tary, than the use of water.
81 use water only in bathing my face
and hands, and that sparingly," said
DIR. Searles. 1.-THE use of water for
bathing is not natural and is unscien-
tific. The skin can be kept in health
full condition only by brisk rubbing.
and by this method it can be kept
clean, will in fact keep itself clean, if
all PERSONS clothes are changed every
day
"Many persons are kept weakened
and enervated by taking baths in cold
water when they rise. 1t is a most
unsafe and harmful thing to do. In
jury to the heart action and derange-
ment of the nervous system often re-
suit from any continued following of
this custom.
Another frequent cause of injury to
the skin, and to its powers of slough
ing off the impurities of the body, is
tne use OF injurious SOAP AlilioSI any
soap is more or less injurious, and
much of it is positively deadening to
the skin and all it's functions"
1t was suggested to DR.. Searles that
the plan of changing all the clothes
every day would be found impractic-
able by many persons.
at would be easy if continued long
enough to become a habit" he said.
"I have converted scores of my patients
and friends to the system. and it has
worked wonders. None will ever re-
turn to the habit of bathing. The
changing every day has not been found
irksome, after they have become ac-
customed to it,"

homes and persons in case the wires
of the company should be struck by
lightning. The lightning arresters are
said to prevent fire and also injury to
the person talking over the phone at

The second is an ordinance compelling
