CONSTABLE SUES FOR MONEY
CLAIMED FOR HIS SERVICES

Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINO, AS. 23.-Con-
stable James L. Stuchberry of Bar
stow has filed in the court of Justice
of the Peace c. L. Thomas an action
against the county of San Bernardino
to recover the sum of $275.25, alleged
to be due for transportation and meals
furnished prisoners en- route to the
county Jail. Attorney Frank B. Daley
is representing Stuchberry.
The suit is brought to test the va
lidity of an oath which the board of
supervisors demands of all claimants
against the county, this oath requiring
the claimant to swear that the claim
charged 'for transportation was actu-
ally paid in cash by the claimant and
not free or a pass, and that no unnec-
essary time or expense was consumed
in performing the service for which
the claim is rendered"
The oath originated in the grand
jury rooms. An investigation by the
grand jury resulted in the discovery
that constables and other officers were
reaping a harvest by charging the
countw with transporting prisoners to
the county Jail when they had been
brought in on passes. In this way the
desert officers, who are the principal
offenders, have reaped between 5000 to
$3.50 monthly, and naturally dislike to
see the fees taken from them.
So active had the officers become
that it was unsafe for a stra--ge to be
caught in any desert town without
money in his pocket, for fear of being
arrested for vagrancy. The man seek
ing employment was the worst sufferer
from the practice, though the tax
payers suffered immensely through
moneys Illegally demanded by officers.

ARRANGE INDIAN COLLECTION
TO GO TO PEABODY MUSEUM
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. 2S.-For the bene-
fit Of the Peabody museum at Harvard
university Carroll S. Hartman and
Miss Grace Nicholson are now arrang-
ing collection of three hundred In
dian curios and artifacts, collected by
them on a recent ten weeks trip
through central and northern Cali
fornia.
The value of the collection is esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $4,000, but
many of the treasures would be hard
to replace. They are accompanied with
$50 photographs. The collectors are
now preparing elaborate written de-
scriptions to accompany each article,
and hope to get the entire collection
dispatched to Cambridge within the
next week.
On account of the widespread forest
fires raging in the country they wished
to visit, the collectors were obliged to
cut their trip short, and returned here
two weeks ago. If conditions permit
they will renew their work as soon as
they have completed the task of pre-
pairing the collection in hand and hope
to start for Mono lake within ten days.
Besides the interests of the museum
MIR. Hartman and Miss Nicholson rep
resent many private collectors, who
eagerly buy all the rare baskets they
can secure

VICTIM OF KNIFE WOUND
is CERTAIN OF RECOVERY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. 25.-H. B. Miller,
who stabbed William Miller Friday
morning an alteration over 20 cents,
will be given a hearing tomorrow on
the charge of assault with deadly
weapon instead of assault with intent
to kill. This is made certain by the
announcement of DR.. z. T. Malaby, at
tending the injured man, that he is
certain to recover.
The attack was made in the back
yard of Cheever's pool room on North
Fair Oaks avenue with a pocket knife,
the blade of which had been ground
down until it was almost as sharp as
a razor. The victim was stabbed seven
times about the chest and arms, and it
was first feared that one of the wounds
had penetrated to the lungs.
1t was discovered, however, that
when H. B. Miller did the stabbing he
held his fingers down on the blade, SO
that not more than an inch of the
point was effective. His forethought
in this direction may save him a num-
ber of years in prison, in case he is
found guilty by the court.

SAN RERNARDINo NOTES
Special to The Herald.


SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 23.-That
San Bernardino continues to grow is
shown by the remarkable building rec
ord for the past twenty-five days of the
month, during which the total value of
building permits reached $50, ,735, as
against $20,S70 for the entire month of
August of last year. For the first eight
months of last year the total value of
buildings for which permits were issued
was $143,65S, as against 1859 210 for the
eight months of the present year, or a
gain of 25O per cent, and August has
still several days yet to make the
showing even better
Stakes were set yesterday for the new
Katz block, at the northeast corner of
Third and e, to cost $4,000. Alpeter,
Hall & Alpeter of Los Angeles have
the contract.
Judge w. ]. Curtis, who is touring
the east by way of celebrating his re-
tirement from active practice, has lust
had the pleasure of celebrating his
birthday in the very room wherein he
was born seventy years ago. This
pleasing climax to the jurists jaunt
occurred on August 2 at Aurora, Ind.
The years which have slipped away
since his birth have Seen great changes
in the Curtis homestead, but this par
ticular room is very much the same as
when he was boy. There were gath
cred about the board many of the play
mates Of his childhood, now grown old
and gray, and all took genuine delight
In the novel affair.
Attorney E. e. Katz, one of the
prominent local members of the bar,
was summoned to Ocean Park at a late
hour last night by a message stating
that Mrs. Katz, who Is summering
there, is critically i'll. The news comes
as shock to the many friends of the
family here, who had supposed that
Mrs. Katz was enjoying excellent
health. Mr.. Katz made the trip in an
automobile, no trains being available.

ACETATE REMOVAL OF
CONSUMPTIVES' CAMP
LINDA VISTA CITIZENS SAY 1T
is A MENACE
Offer a Site Farther Out and VIII
Hold Meeting te Work Up Fur
ther Sentiment Against
Settlement

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. 2S.-At a meeting
last night citizens of Linda Vista de-
cided to continue their campaign
against the presence of the Pasadena
health camp for consumptives, which
is located on sixteen acres of ground
there.
They are now engaged in working up
sentiment on the east side of the arroyo
on the ground that the drainage from
the camp will harm residents of that
side as well, and will tend to contami-
nate the water supply. Another meet
ing will be held in the Linda Vista
school house Wednesday night, when
the success of this campaign will be
reported and further plans laid for the
contest. The Linda Vistans are for
this purpose represented by a commit
tee consisting of Harry Farnes, G. w.
James, M. d. Friscus and R. M.
Schoonmaker, chairman.
DR.. G. e. Abbot. who, with C. B.
Scoville, John Wadsworth, Mrs. Macy
and S. Hazard Halstead, was a di-
rector of the institution, has resigned,
and Linda Vistans claim that he did
so because he did not approve of the
camp and the way it is conducted. DR..
Abbot vigorously repudiates the sug-
gestion.
II resigned because I am not inter
ested In tubercular work, my practice
being along entirely different lines,'' he
said this evening. 81 do approve of the
way the camp is conducted, and am
certain that, so conducted, it offers no
danger to it's neighbors. 1t is doing
a good work and is public benefit"
The camp is also under the support
or encouragement of the Associated
Charities, and the opponents have made
strenuous efforts to induce that organi-
zation to repudiate 1t, but without sue
cess so far.
At present the camp contains but two
patients, who live in tent house. The
neighbors claim that, if it is not a
menace now it will be when larger, but
admit that its income annually is only
$4O0, representing the interest on $500
endowment.
They have offered the camp two other
tracts of land farther away, which can
be had for about the same price, but
their offer has not yet been accepted
or rejected by the directors.

LONG BEACH, Aug. ga strike by
an enormous shark caused the painful
injury today of Frank Notham, a tour
ist, who was one of fishing party
on the launch Eagle, Captain Arch
Paschal. Notham had a jig line and,
like many deep sea fishermen, wanted
to hold the boat-end of the line in his
hand, so that he could feel strike
the instant it was made.
He foolishly looped the line around
his right hand.
A monster shark, according to Capt.
Paschall, took the trolling hook.
The shark scarcely "hesitated," but
went tipping ON his way, the line part
ing. Three of Notham's fingers were
painfully lacerated.

special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
LONG BEACH, Aug. 23.-From the
foot of Magnolia avenue west almost
to the Long Beach harbor the sea was
an interesting study this afternoon.
Between these points, but mainly be-
yond the breaker line, there were a
row of large tide-rips, muddy and
seething churning up the water and
gradually moving in and out or east
ward and westward.
Fortunately the rips did not prevail
where bathing is most popular, and
throughout the day there were no re-
ports of accidents resulting from them.
Few swimmers venture out as far as
the tide-rips were from shore and
those who do know a rip when they
see it and stay away. Almost as large
a crowd as on yesterday was in the
surf today near the bath house.
