PHYSICIANS MAKE MYSTERY
OF DEATH
Mrs. Catherine Edmison Dies at Emer-
gency and General Hospital.
DR.. keyes Makes Sweep
ing Denial

Mrs. Catharine Edmison of North
Avenue Twenty-eight died on the ope-
rating table at the emergency and gen
eral hospital Wednesday night at lo
o'clock Mrs. Edmison was suffering
from goitre and was operated upon to
remove a tumor from her neck. She
was unable to stand the shock or the
anesthesia which was given her and
passed away upon the table.
There was a great deal of mystery
built about the case, and all particu-
lars were refused newspaper men or
Wednesday night when an inquiry was
made concerning it. DR.. Henry s.
Keyes, who is the superintendent Of the
Emergency and General hospital, was
found at meeting of the Holy Rollers,
Of which sect he is member, and de-
MED in positive and categorical terms
that any such thing had happened at
the hospital. Mrs. Edmison's body was
removed to the undertaking establish
ment of Connell. Unterkircher & Craw-
ford.
DR.. Edward Anderson, one of the sur
geons at the hospital and who is be-
lieved to have performed the operation,
signed the death certificate. At the
hospital also all knowledge of the
woman or her death was denied.
Mrs. Edmison was the wife of well
known carpenter and builder on the
east side. The funeral will take place
today.

FLEENoR'S ESCAPE TO
BE INVESTIGATED BY
SHERIFF w. A. HAMMEL

Investigation of the escape of James
Fleenor the giant negro, will be begun
Immediately by both Sheriff Hammel
in Los Angeles and the authorities at
San Francisco while a big reward is to
be offered for his capture and the entire
country put on his trail.
Desperate measures are to be used
to counteract the strength and cunning
Of the desperate man. That Fleenor re-
ceived help in his escape from the San
Francisco police station is now con-
sidered positive. Where that help came
from, whether from some one inside the
jail or some one outside the jail is the
question which the San Francisco
authorities promise to give full investi-
cation and without which the Los An
geles authorities will not rest content
until they have received it.
From the first day of Fleenor's arrest
the giant negro boasted that they would
never put him in the penitentiary. His
stay in the city jail gave him no chance
to getaway, and that was followed by
his trip to the county bastile. When
Fleenor saw Sheriff Hammel he looked
him over and stated that their battle
began right then.
"Look out, for I'm going to get you
if I can," said Fleenor. I'm going to
beat you at your own game, even IL my
hands are tied"
That was the warning Fleenor gave
the sheriff the first time he ever met
him, and he made good. Sheriff Ham
mel has handled more bad men in his
day than any other officer in Los An
geles county. He knows a bad man
when he sees one and he took no chances
with Fleenor. He put the giant negro
in cell by himself and watched him
like mother would a sick child.
Finally, after Fleenor had engaged in

Lumber Dealers Say Cut in Returns
for Product ehould Prove Their
RuinatIon Unless Business
Picks Up

Lumber in Los Angeles has suffered al
decided cut within the past month.
This news has caused consumers no
little satisfaction, but the big lumber
dealers do not seem to see the rosy
side of the cloud. In several of the big
yards the reduction went into effect
early in the month, and building has
taken "a slight boom. Reports as to.
the extent, of the decrease vary. BY
some dealers the average is said to be-
$5 thousand feet, while others esti-i
mate it at SO.
The reasons cited for the reduction
are many and varied In some quar-
ters it is whispered that possibly the
Cartwright antitrust law, which will
shortly go into effect, is having ben
eficial effect on prices--from the pur-
chaser's standpoint. Some of the deal
ers attribute the cut to lower freight
rates.
l.. w. Blinn, large Los Angeles
dealer secuted the idea that the trust
law could possibly have anything to
do with the lumber dealers. "The lum-
ber is being sold at the very
cheapest that can be offered now," he
declared, land no antitrust measure
can change 1t. The complete paralysis
of business in San Francisco has
caused temporary Cutting of the
local market and consequent slump in
prices. This, however, is only tenn
porary."
Mr.. Blinn regarded the situation
rather pessimistically. Il can't say how
long these low prices will last. he
said, "but they won't be for long The
be going into bankruptcy. Dealers are
selling lumber for less today than it
costs them to make and manufacture
1T, and that means bankruptcy"

about 5000, the Russians claimed to
have 1000 and the Japanese 10000. There
wasn't much resistance in front of
Peking; most of it came in the battle
of Tientsin. Still, the Chinese had kept
the legations imprisoned, and they were
glad to have us get them out.

There was a furious ringing of the
telephone bell at police headquarters
last night and the voice Of an irate
female at the other end of the line de-
manded that the chief of police proceed
at once to her house and quell dis
turbance. The speaker was switched
at once onto the captain of police, with
the statement that there was burglary
or riot or something of that kind go
ing on.
When Capt. Thomas Broadhead got
on the wire and inquired as to the
trouble he listened for moment and

that was done by Aguirre's orders OF
whether by Chief Wilson'S orders, as
has been rumored, will not be known
until Aguirre gets back, but during the
night Fleenor was liberated or broke
free from his coli and escaped from the
Jail.
FIeenor Has Friends
Fleenor's friends are known to have
gone to San Francisco to await a
chance for him there. Many of them
are said to be politicians. At any rate
Aguirre coped with them successfully
until his prisoner got away from him
temporarily and in the hands of the
san Francisco police, and then FleenorF
immediately got away.

WORKERS FATIGUE MINIMIzED

There are few factories of prominence
today which do not evidence willing
ness on the part of employers to avoid
physical waste of employees by INSTALL
ing the latest labor-saving devices. No
longer, for instance, does one see the
factory girl climbing six or seven
flights of stairs to her work. An elec-
tric elevator or an escalator, such as
in a Massachusetts woolen mill dis
tributes 1000 employees to six floors in
five minutes, is now the vehicle of her
rise. Devices for warming and cooling
the air delivered to work rooms by
drawing it over coils of steam pipe in
winter and forcing it through cold
water in summer are common.-The

HONOR DR.. CONYBEARE.
The Mems Bible Club Give Banquet
Tuesday Evening at Macca-
bee Hall.

One of the most notable events in
the history of the Mems Bible Club of
Audubon was the reception and ban
quet rendered to DR.. and Mrs. Cony-
beare at the Maccabee Hall last Tues
day evening, where they met and
Toasted, and listened to speech es and
songs until a late hour. Besides the
forty members of the club, Mrs. j. A.
Nash and daughter and Mr.. and Mrs.
John Ward were present as guests.
They were seated at long table dec
Grated profusely with ferns and
American beauties. After sumptu-
Gus 5-course dinner was served and
enjoyed, came the rendition of an
entertaining program. The music fur
nished by the Misses Brown, Cole and
Dunn was excellent, consisting of
vocal and instrumental selections, of
which especial mention might be made
of the vocal solo by Miss Brown. A
number of splendid addresses were
made, most of which dealt with the
object, aim and Influence of the club,
its work in the past and prospect for
the future. Mr.. f. II. Adams, who
acted as POSTMASTER, began the pro-
gram with a witty and live introduce
blOu' IhiS' OohLi IA ANdSu D pOhc III ali
interesting manner on the work of the
club as viewed by one not a member,
yet vitality interested in its success.
Prof. MantZ, superintendent of the
city schools, discussed the question of
Education" in pointed and prac-
tical address. George Cosson's talk
on Good Citizenship" and the neces-
sity for its development'was we'll re-
ceived. Then came Chas. S. White,
the county clerk, who spoke fittingly
and feelingly concerning DR.. Cony-
beare, teacher of the club, that the
eyes of many were sutfused with tears.
At the close of his address, in behalf
of the club, he presented DR.. and Mrs.
Conybeare with a set of solid silver
spoons. DR.. Conybeare was then call
ed out for speech. After little
trouble with his voice at the beginning,
he made an eloquent address that will
be remembered for a long time by
those who had the pleasure of hearing
it. In referring to it one of the lead
ing members of the club spoke as
follows:
Surely the young men of the club
have firm friend and helper in DR..
Conybeare. His loss will be keenly
felt when he is gone. AS tireless
worker, as a student of human nature,
as friend of his fellowmen, this town
has never had superior. 1t is the
wish of the club that success and hap
pinesS follow him and his family in
their new home"
