Will See Son Today

Mr. Allen will come to Los Angeles to-
day and will visit the coroner's office
with the intention of examining the
jewelry found in the pockets of the dead
man.
Il feel sure my son committed suicide, -
said Mr. Allen last night when I read
in The Herald a description of the man
found in the cistern I recognized it as
one which answered my son.
Il came to Monrovia as soon as I could
with the intention of seeing the articles
in the pockets of the dead man and
identifying them as the property of my
son.
II have often feared that Harry would
kill himself and am not surprised that
he has done so. 1 am confident that he
was not murdered, as money almost
equaling the amount he had when he
left home was found in his pockets"

Physician Ordered Choral

Yesterday morning Verworts complained
of not feeling well and consulted a physi-
clan. He was advised to take small
quantity of chloral, but when he returned
to his home announced his intention of
taking the entire contents of the bottle
and killing himself
Mrs. Verworts tried to wrest the bottle
from his grasp, but despite her efforts
was unsuccessful and Verworts succeeded
in pressing the bottle to his lips. A mo-
ment later ne fell to the floor in a faint.
fastening to the street, Mrs. Verworts
summoned a messenger and sent him for
DR.. Quint
When the physician arrived he endeav-
ored to revive Verworts and at last sue
ceeded in doing so. Quint then tried to
administer emetics, but Verworts fought
him off, saying he wished to die.
The physician at last found it necessary
to summon aid to get the man to the
patrol wagon so he could be conveyed to
the hospital.

DEAD MAN
IDENTIFIED
WAS RESIDENT OF UPLANDs FoF
MANY YEARS
FATHER RECOGNIZES PROPERTY
AS HIS SONS
Was Slightly Demented and Relatives
Had Feared Suicide-Murder
Theory Is Discredited
by Family

The identity of the man whose body
was found in the old cistern near East
Duarte Thursday morning was finally
established yesterday afternoon, accord
ing to Marshal Miller of Monrovia
The man was William Harry Allen, 81
years of age, a resident of Uplands for
many years, and whose parents and reia-
tives still live in that city.
The young mars identity was revealed
when his father appeared at the mar
shaPs office in Monrovia yesterday and
asked to be shown the watch and jewels
which had been found on the body.
All the possessions of the dead man
had been sent to the coroner's office in
Los Angeles Saturday night, so could not
be shown Mr.. Allen, but when asked to
describe the property of his son Mr.
Allen did so, describing each article ac-
curately and in detail

IN ARMS AGAINST
HOLY ROLLERLSM
HIGHLAND PARK WANTS NOISY
CAMPERS TO MOVE
Neighborhood Delegation, Having
Tried Moral Suasion in Vain, Will
Ask City's Aid-Both Sides
Are Firm

Sections of Highland Park are up in
arms over the religious zealots camping
along the Arroyo Seco between Fifty
seventh and Sixtieth streets.
The novelty of Curiosity has worn off
interest in the meetings of the Holy Roll
ers among the residents, and many are
discussing the problem how to induce the
hysterical religionists to fold their tents
and give some other section a chance 10
become interested.
When at first the impression gained
credence that it would be a mere camp
meeting for a week or two, not much
opposition was manifested, even though
complaints had been made elsewhere that
the noisy, concomitants with Holy Roller
ism made rest and sleep more difficult
where the enthusiasts hourished.
Highland Park, which is well churched
by all denominations, has now awakened
to the realization that the Rollers will
remain indefinitely, and that more than
moral suasion will be necessary to dis
lodge them.

len when he left home was also given
and agreed with the description of that
worn by the dead man.

Lose Their Tenants

Several property owners whose tenants
have moved because of the presence of
the camp have called at the camp head
quarters to explain the situation, asking
that the noise and other unfortunate con-
ditions be abated in the interest of the
neighborhood. These visits were futile.f
Now several attorneys who live in the
vicinity have been asked to find a legal
way to bring relief to the property
owners
It has been suggested that rigid in
spection by sanitary officers of the tent
city would be an effectual way of elm
mating at least some of the abuses
charged. This will be tried this week, it
is stated.
The Holy Rollers resist any invasion
from the outside as prompted by worldly
wickedness rather than from the prompt
ings of neighborhood patriotism. They
assert that they are merely exercising
their rights under the law.

MUST PAY RENT OR MOVE.
Fairgrounds Committee Confronted
by a Difficult Problem.


The public Fairgrounds committee has
been notified by the owner of a lot at North
Capitol and streets northeast. which has
been used by the association, without cost,
as playground for three years. that, be-
ginning with April 1, it will have to pay
rent or move. This news was received with
regret. as the committee was of the opinion
that the owner was going to permit the use
Of the lot without cost until he secured a
satisfactory purchaser. Within the last
year several rumors have been current to
the effect that the ground was to be sold,
but 1t was not believed the owner would
have the ground vacated except a sale was
effected
DIR. Curtis. the supervisor of the plav
ground movement. says the managers are
greatly perturbed. not because they expect
something for nothing, but because they are
uncertain about having appropriation at
their disposal from which they can pay for
the renting of the playground. At the last
session or Congress the playground COM
m1ttee received $4,000 with which to pur-
chase Fairgrounds and to equip and main
tain them. but DR.. Curtis is doubtful
whether or not any of this sum can be used
for renting the North Capitol street prom
erty. p
DR.. Curtis interviewed Commissioner Mac
fafland at the District building this morn
ing, and as result he will go over the
books of the District auditor in order to de-
mine II there Is any available fund by which
this unexpected demand can be met The
members of the playground committee say
there is no time to lose in settling this mat
ter as they have expended a considerable
sum OF money In apparatus, and that it will
not DE an easy matter to secure desirab
site at short notice.
Deputy Auditor Alonzo Tweedale will re-
port to Commissioner Macfarland late this
afternoon or early tomorrow morning the
result of his examination of the books re-
specting the playground funds.
