MEETS DEATH IN
POOL OF WATER
VETERAN OF WAR PERlSHES
WHILE RETURNING HOME
His Family Expresses Belief That He
Was FouIIy Dealt With, but
Police Declare His Death
Was Accidental

Mystery surrounds the discovery
Wednesday morning of the body OIL j.
Cummings, a war veteran, II years DID,
in a pool of water on vacant lot near
his home at 1904 Arnold street.
FOOTPRINTS that encircled the basin of
water, indicating a dazed wandering,
and an open umbrella lying near the
puddle of water attracted the attention
of w. M. Noble as he was going TO
work Wednesday morning.
He probed about in the muddy water,
which was only fifteen inches deep,
when the form of the drowned veteran
was revealed.
The police were notified at once and
patrolmen are working on the case TO
determine whether the man accidentally
fell into the pool of water or was the
victim of thugs.
There were indications of a struggle
in the mud about the puddle, and this is
taken to indicate that the old man was
flung to his death in the shallow pool
and held there until he drowned.
Police Scoff at Murder Theory
This is the belief of Cummings
family, and they have asked that the
police work on that theory. However,
Sc was found in Cummings pockets,
and the police therefore scoff at the idea
that he was thrown into the water by
robbers
Cummings went downtown Tuesday
afternoon, and when he did not return
far into the night the family became
alarmed and asked a neighbor to search
for him among his usual haunts in the
city. The search failed to reveal ms
wherea bouts and no word was received
from him until his peculiar death was
announced to the family Wednesday
morning. The police believe the old
man stumbled into the water on his
way home, and owing to the intense
darkness was unable to eXtricate him.
self.
The pool of water into which Cum
mings fell was at Third street and
Beaudry avenue, and it was caused by
the incessant rains of the past few
days.
Cummings is survived by a widow a
son employed in San Francisco and a
daughter.
The body is at Pierce Bros morgue,
where an inquest will be held upon it
this morning at o'clock.

CONSOLIDATION
IS FASTENED
SAN PEDRO MAY COME IN
WITHIN. A MONTH
Work Of Procuring Necessary sigma
lures to Petitions Calling for
Election Will Be Completed
by Tonight

There is a possibility that the con-
solidation of Los Angeles and San Pc
dro will occur within thirty days.
Petitions asking for the holding of
q special election in both cities to de-
eide the question of consolidation will
be presented to the city council of Los
Angeles at the regular meeting next
Monday
Previous to that day the Los Angeles
city and county consolidation commits
sion will confer with the leaders of the
consolidation movement in San Pedro
and as a result the city council may
be requested to set the date of the pro-
posed election not later than the first
week in February.
BY tonight the work of circulating
the petitions in Los Angeles will have
been completed with a list of over 1000
signatures.
Yesterday twenty-five experienced
canvassers were sent out by the con-
solidation commission and before the
day was over several of the canvassers
reported that they had thoroughly
covered the districts assigned to them
and had secured the signatures of
practically all the registered voters in
those districts.

Making 1t Unanimous

All the canvassers who made returns
yesterday stated that in not single
instance did a voter refuse to attach
his signature to the petition. which
fact indicates that the vote in Los An
geles on the question of consolidating
with San Pedro practically will be
unanimous.
Today the canvassers who yesterday
completed the work in the districts as
signed them will be sent to other dis
tricts not yet covered, and it is expect
ed that by tonight the canvassers will
have completed their work.
/ 1t will be necessary to secure the
signatures of $500 voters whose names
are on the great register, or 20 pei
cent of the vote cast at the last muni-
cipal election, but 1t is the intention
to secure not less than 1000 names in
order to insure the retention of the
required legal number of $500 should
some of the signers be found not to be
legal voters, and there is a possibility
that the list will total nearly 5000
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-10
San Pedro Is Ready

Word received from San Pedro yes
terday by the consolidation commits
sion indicates that the vote on consoli-
dation in the harbor city will be prac-
tically unanimous.
At the charter election held Monday
there were cast a total of 511 votes, and
on this basis it was necessary to Sc
cure the signatures of only 120 voters
to the petition asking for the holding
of a consolidation election, but already
over 500 voters have signed the petit
tions, and it is understood the work of
circulating the petitions has ceased.
The signatures will be canvassed in
San Pedro and the list then will be
sent to the consolidation commission
Saturday for presentation to the Los
Angeles city council Monday. together
with the petitions circulated in Los
Angeles.
Should the consolidation commission
decide to request the council to call an
election for a date within thirty days,
San Pedro will become a part of Los
Angeles before the Cahuenga territory
is annexed.

DoIgevilIe Is Willing

The rush for the Greater Los Angeles
chariot of progress, anticipated as a
result of the favorable attitude of San
Pedro, has begun. Yesterday business
men and residents of Dolgeville faced
the rain to circulate petitions praying
for annexation to Los Angeles. Dodge
vile is not an incorporated town. and
therefore does not need to go through
the unwinding of red tape in disincor-
porating before it's residents can vote
on annexation. Neither does Dolgevile
have to rule on contiguous territory.
There is plenty of territory between it
and Los Angeles belonging to the city
to make Dolgeville a neighbor.
Members of the consolidation COM
mission are not responsible for the pc
titions being put into circulation. The
movement appeared to be voluntary
on the part of Dodge lille business men.

First Realistic and Impressive
Incident Occurred on
Tuesday Night.
FIRE ON SOUTH TWELFTH.
LOON AND DAMAGE OF 500 RE
SULTED-THURSD MAY BE A
BUSY DAY.

The first realistic and impressive in
eral public that the Fourth of July is
near at hand, occurred Tuesday even
ing when a burning barn on South
Twelfth street near Il street, belong
ing to Martin Bulach, turned the heav-
ems crimson hue. So brilliant was the
illumination that people some dis
lance from the fire thought that the
entire southeastern part of the city
was aflame.
The fire was caused by toy balloon.
1t was sent up in the north part of the
city and it rushed along in a south
ward direction, the oil wick burning
wildly AS the balloon passed over the
Bulach barn it caught afire from the
oil wick and dropped onto the roof OF
the barn, which Immediately famed
up.
The fire alarm was promptly sent
in and by the time the department ar
rived the burning barn looked ex-
tremely threate ming. Quick and eff
cient work by the fire laddies not only
saved the surrounding buildings but a
created part of the barn. When the
flame was extinguished only the root
had been burned off. 1t is estimated
that the loss will amount TO 800.
The fire department is looking for
ward to a busy day Thursday. The
firemen expect to be especially busy
Thursday evening when the fire
works display starts. There is espec-
ial danger from the skyrockets, the
sticks of which drop burning onto the
roofs. Nearly every Fourth of July
there are one or more fires originate
from this cause but fortunately of late
years none of the fires has been ser
ious ones.

SPORTING GOSSIP
BASEBALL GOSSIP.
(By Tort.)

Mr.. Gene Moore had the squirrel
curve and the haymow float, the latter
acquired while following the pillow on
pap's farm in central Ohio. working
overtime Tuesday. He had b. Hare
* company swinging at his offerings
like a Dutch windmill. When the big
fellow is in form the enemy might as
well chalk one up in the lost" column
before his Jumps barks play b-a-all.'
For the first time in eleven days the
locals took lay off today. The past
eleven games have resulted in five vic
tories. Two were lost TO Dunkirk. the
outfit which gave the Cincinnati Reds
such an awful lambasting Monday at
Muncie. We can at least say that the
locals gave Dunkirk better run for
their money than the National leaguers
did. Neither Moore or Fisher, who
worked against them were touched up
for eighteen hits.
The game Thursday morning with
the Dayton Shilohs will be called
promptly at 10 o'clock. The game in
the afternoon with the same crew will
be called at 3 o'clock. Indications
point to two large crowds. Fleming
will probably work in the morning
game and Fisher will be Manager Jes-
