THE NEWS IN BRIEF
Thirty Killed, 20 Wounded, in Wreck Of
Shriners' Train.

Thirty dead and a score injured COM
prise the casualties Of the wreck at Hon
da, Calf, Saturday of the Ismala special
train of New York and Pennsylvania
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine who were re-
turning home from the annual meeting Of
the imperial council of the Ancient Arabic
order of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
in Los Angeles.
The train carrying AS Shriners and
friends from Ismalia Temple, Bufalo;
Raiah Temple, Reading, Pa, and neigh
boring cities was rushing northward so
miles an hour on the Southern Pacific
Coast line when the locomotive struck
defective switch at the siding at
Honda. The locomotive turned a somer-
saut into the sand. The forward coaches
were crushed to debris and took fire.
The bodies of victims were taken to
Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo. The
injured, many of whom are terribly hurt
and some of whom may die, are in sana
forums in San Luis Obispo
The locomotive in leaving the rails
tore up the tracks, twisting the rails in
to fish hooks The baggage car half
buried itself in the sand on the right
side of the locomotive. 1t was smashed
almost to kindling wood
The dining car, in which were 80 per-
sons at luncheon, fell directly on the loco
motive Every person in the dining car
was killed or wounded. Scores were
scalded by steam escaping from discon-
neCted pipes.
The rear coaches damned against the
first wreckage, pinning in those who
might otherwise have escaped Several
imprisoned in the debris were roasted
alive.
Rajah Temple of Reading Pa, occupied
the last car on the train, and the dining
car was thus filled almost entirely with
Reading people when the wreck occurred.
George Hagerman of Reading, Pa,
refused the aid of his brother Mobiles
after they had dragged him, fatally
hurt, from the wreck.
Il am dying" he said. GO help the
women"

Scores of Families Made Homeless by Fire
in Lincoln. NJ A.

More than a score Of families were rem
dered homeless by a fire which swept
through Lincoln, n. H., Monday. and a
total loss estimated at 500, 900 was
caused. Only a fortunate subsidence of
the wind, which was blowing a gale when
the fire started, saved the great lumber
mills of ]. e. Henry & Sons. The large
residences of George Henry and john
Henry % cottages, stable and store
were destroyed. The cause of the fire is
not known. 1t started in the stable of the
Henry company. The residents had
nothing but buckets to use in their fight
against the conflagration. The cottages
occupied by employees of the company and
their families were story and half dwell
lings. Most of the occupants lost all their
furniture and personal belongings and few
of them carried insurance. The COM
panys property was well insured. Not
until apparatus and firemen arrived from
Concord were the flames brought under
control.

Yesterday and coincidently a Delegation

out certain inducements which caused heI
to stay in Los Angeles and forego a
tempting offer from Portland.
She was named as emergency superln-

almost caused a walkout of the employees
After several fearful appeals OF the
library senate in behalf of local eIglbles

was not unanimous. The issue was
whether home or foreign talent should
have preference in the library.
The examination for superintendent ol

CONNECT REDONDO
AND SAN PEDRO
HUNTINGTON AGENTS AFTER
NEW COAST LINE
Invasion Of Los Angeles-Pacific Terri
tory Renews Talk Of Understands
Ing with GouId-covlna Line
Opens Sunday

Huntington interests will soon be in
shape to build a coast line connecting
Redondo and San Pedro, If reports be
true.
This new line will link the Crescent
bay ports with Wilmington, Long Beach
and Alamitos bay.
The significant feature is that this
means invasion of the territory of the
Los Angeles-Pacific system, and 1t be-
comes more interesting through the an
nouncement that second power house Is
to be erected at Redondo on the same
scale as the present one, which is await
ing the installation of gigantic machinery
now on the way to the coast.
That such a big installation should be
planned merely for the operation OF the
Los Angeles & Redondo line and even
of the San Pedro line does not seem
plausible to railraod men.
Talk of a deal between the Huntington
and Gould interests has been renewed as
q result of these operations as pointing
to an alliance to control the seaboard
feeders.
This route would pre-empt the seashore
line and furnish shipping facilities into
and out of Los Angeles as well.

POLICE BAFFLED
BY BLACK JACK
Notorious Highwayman Disappears
Completely and Detectives Are
Unable to Gain Slightest
CIew to Whereabouts

No clews have been gained by the
police to the identity of the highwayman
who Thursday night held up and robbed
Conductor Hemp of the Los Angeles Rail
way company on his car at Sixth and
Hobart streets. All yesterday members
of the detective force searched through
the downtown district questioning men
who even in the remotest way answered
the description furnished by the police.
All those who were questioned either
proved a good alabi or showed in some
other way they could not have been con-
nected with the robbery.
1t was said at the station that the
robbery was evidently the work of some
youth whose mind had been affected by
reading of crimes committed by train
robbers
The message that BLACK jack was
again in town, which the robber sent to
Acting Chief of Police Flammer, pro-
voked a great deal of discussion among
the officers, but none of them admitted
knowing the famous crook was here
The search for the thief will be con-
tinued, as it is felt that he is more daring
than the average crook and that so long
as he remains at liberty there is a
chance for him to pull off some big job

FIRE DESTROYS

BUCKET BRIGADE DOES GOOD
WORK
Volunteer Fire Fighters by Hard Work
Prevent Flames Spreading to
the 100000 Pavilion
Nearby

Fire of undiscovered origin destroyed
the new Casino at Redondo at o'clock
yesterday morning, causing a loss of
about $25,0OO. only partly covered by in
surance. The building was to have been
formally opened to the public last night.
When told of the fire M. Mayer, one, of
the owners, was stricken with heart dis
ease and for a time it was thought he
would die.
A policy for $4,000 protecting the build
ing during construction is held by l.. j.
Norman, foreman of construction, and in
addition to this there is a policy taken
out several days ago and dated June S
for $4,000.
The beautiful building has been in
course of construction during the past
five months. 1t was owned by Mr.. Mayer
and the Adloff e. Hauerwaas company of
Los Angeles. Directly across the wharf
from it was the magnificent $4,000 pa
villon erected by the Redondo Beach I'M
provement company and now largely
it appeared this building must also go,
but by constant and laborious work the
citizens of the beach town succeeded in
saving 1t.
Has No Fire Department
There is no fire department in Redondo
but as soon as word spread that the new
Casino was burning the citizens of the
town hurried to the scene. Bucket bri-
gades were organized and soon more than
800 men and boys were at work carrying
water to the building. Eli Mosher,,
clerk, took charge of the work and under
his direction the fire was kept from
spreading.
In the meantime word had been sent
to Los Angeles and the fire company at
McClintock and Jefferson streets was or
dered to go to the town. The engine and
hose cart of the company were hurried
TO the Redondo railway yards, Jefferson
and Grand avenue. loaded on fiat cars
and within thirty-f1ve minutes were on
the scene. The department was given
the right of way over everything and
this accounts for the fast time
BY the time the local apparatus arrived
in Redondo the fire fighters in the beach
town had the flames under control and
the services of the Los Angeles men were
not needed.
When seen last night the owners of the
burned building said they would arrange
to have the structure rebuilt 1t was
expected the Casino would be the center
of interest in the town during the sum-
mer months. 1t had been leased for sew
eral weeks in advance of its completion.i
