VIM. ROSS WAS
ONCE AERONAUT
Former Friend Identifies Body at
Undertaking ParIors and Throws
Some Light on Past
Life

William Ross, the man who was shot
and instantly killed by Patrolman
Hoover early Sunday morning in a
duel, was identified yesterday as a
former balloonist of International fame,
who had made ,ascensions in many
different parts of the country. Ross Is
said to have given up the aeronaut
business several years ago after COM
panion was killed in parachute drop
near Aberdeen, Wash.
Ross was identified by Roy Cough a
blacksmith, who had worked with
Ross in this city for several
months. He read of Ross death in the
papers Sunday morning and yesterday
called at the police station to see if he
could Identify the man as his former
friend. He was directed to Sutchs un-
dertaking establishment, where he saw
the body, and despite the many
changes caused by time and death,
Cough was able to identify him as the
man who had at one time been his in
innate friend.
Was an Expert Blacksmith
Il knew Ross WE'LL" he told a Herald
reporter last night" / was employed
in the blacksmith shop owned by Jack
Reynolds at 1877 North Los Angeles
street about one year ago when Ross
appearea there and applied for job.
One was given him and he at once
proved himself an expert blacksmith,
Few of the boys became intimate with
him, as he was a reticent sort of chap,
and made friends slowly. For some
reason he seemed drawn toward me and
we became we'll acquainted. He told
me Of his experiences as a balloonist,
showed me clippings of famous flights
he had made. He seemed to be a nice
fellow, but was quick-tempered and
few of the men in the shop trusted
him. He always had plenty of money
but never explained where he OBJ
tained It.
There was one part of his life he
was very quiet about That was the
two years Just preceding his arrival in
Los Angeles. He at one time told me
he had passed those two years in San

But one thing he has learned by dint of several good whippings is that he must never got up on the table when 1t is spread for a meal. We'll, one night recently when we came home from the theater we decided to have little supper, and my wife spread cloth over the end of the table.

It was plain that be. was puzzled First he went ts the end that had no cloth, hesitated. and then returned to look at the end that con tained the cloth. My wife and stood still to watch him, and we had no doubt that he was assuring himself that the cloth was really there. At length he jumped up on chair by the table so as to survey its top. The half of the table at which he sat was free from the cloth, and finally he very cautiously climbed up on the table and slowly crossing over to the half which contained the cloth, sat down at the very edge"

treatment, and some work is more val uable and more costly than other work.
 As necessity arises the appropria- ton for any department is increased. so that the work Is never hampered.
 When the $7,00o.000 decade of scien- tific research under the auspices of the Carnegie institution is ended 1t Is believed that very many boons of in calculable value will have enriched mankind.
 Commercial interests naturally are interested deeply in the researches of Dr. A. L. Day, who has worked out the formula for pure quartz glass, some thing which has been wanted and aim ed at for years, but vastly more i'm portant to the business world is an- other secret which Dr. Day is wrest- ing from nature, and that is how to make Portland cement. substance which is revolutionizing the building methods to-day.
 In Arizona scientists under the di- rection of the Carnegie institution are seeking to reclaim the arid deserts, are study reforestation. and while one section of the army of scientists is planning to make the desert bloom for the benefit of man, another is busy ex- ploring heavenly space and endeavor- ing to learn more of the wonders of astronomy.
 Great results are expected from the work of the solar observatory on Mount Wilson, Cal. Last year John D. Hooker, of Los Angeles, gave $45,- 900 to meet the cost of mirror of no inches aperture and 50 feet focal length, for a great non-refecting tele- scope.
 Even the waters of the sea and the land under them are receiving careful attention from the Carnegie scientists.
 The institutions ship, Galilee, has been sailing the North Pacific from the American coast to China, and next year it is hoped to give to navigators an accurate, complete and perfect chart of the Pacific ocean.
 Other investigators in other ships are working off the Dry Tortugas, and Prof. w. K Brooks of the Johns Hop kins university, has explored the Ev- erglades, Florida, in his study of ma rine biology.
 At cost of $21,000 year, the Car negie institutions department of ex- perimental evolutions at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, is endeavoring to coax her henship to greater ana nearer continuous efforts in the egg. laying line.

IS A RELIC OF THE PAST.
Blind Veteran of the PaImy Days Of
 the Circus.

It is not often that one may have his dinner cooked by woman who can at the same time give reminis- cences of the stage dating back for half century. She who possesses this remarkable memory Is the pro- prietor of an inn of odd construction which is not far from Greenwood Lake, in New Jersey. She has been identi- fled with practically every phase. not only of the stage, but of the circus. She is now blind, but her mind Is 50 filled with images of the past that she Is never depressed. She remembers P. T. Barnum, James A. Bailey and all the old-time kings of the tented field. for in her younger days she was a performer in the ring. The palmy days of minstrelsy she can talk about for the hour, recalling anecdotes of Wambold and Backus and old Billy Emerson. Then by quick transition she will go to the drama and talk entertainingly of Florence and Jeffer. son and the elder Sothern. In the meantime she is busy about the dc. tails of the dinner and is carrying on the complicated operations as easily as though her sight was as keen and strong as 1t was in the days of her tri. umphs of ring and stage.

The Sixtieth Congress opened
Monday morning. The striking
scenes of the day was the fight
for the speakership of the House,
between Joseph G. Cannon and
the democratic representative,
John Sharp Williams. Cannon
was reelected by an overwhelm-
ing majority and Joe began tel
ling the assembly what's what.
The Democrats denounced the
rules of the last Congress but
when in came to a vote the same
were adopted.

At the meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the different COM
mercial bodies of the state the
first of the week, was shown the
great confidence being placed in
the Portland Clearing House dur
ing the financial stringency. The
body decided not to ask the Gov
ernor to call an extra session of
the legislature at this time, but
after debating the bank situation
and the need of resuming judi
cial business, resolutions were
adopted and have already been
presented to the Governor, re-
questing him to continue the le-
gal holidays for period not to
exceed ten days after banks of
the East resume specie pay
ments. Governor Chamberlain
has already made it known that
he would not call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature as he
deemed such an act one of quest
ionable propriety. It is his OPT
Mon that the holidays will be
continued until the first of the
year, however, he shall follow
the general concensus of opinion
of the people of the state at
large. The Governor has also
enforced the idea that the de-
mand for the continuation of the
holidays comes even more strong
ly from business interests than
from the banks.
