FOUND DEAD IN BED; GAS
MAY HAVE AFFECTED HEART
Lack of Oxygen in Room or Fumes
from Defective Jet Believed to
Have Produced Heart
Failure

Alarmed by the fact that the house
had been closed for over a day, Mrs
G. C. Korgan, a neighbor of c. P. Will
Jams, living at 11271s East Forty-ninth
street, yesterday afternoon entered the
latter's house and found him lying in
his bed, dead.
The fire was still burning and the gas
Jets were all lighted except one, which,
it is stated, seemed to be defective, as
there was a strong odor of gas, though
not enough to have produced death un-
less the mans heart had been weak.
Mrs. Korgan notified the police and
the coroner was sent to the house. In
vestigation revealed that every door
and window had been closed, and it was
thought the man had been dead about
twenty-four hours. Heart weakness,
superinduced by the lack of oxygen
was believed to be the cause of death.

x 4 SURPERLATIVELY surpass-
ing and surprising aggregation
"A of amusing and amazing animal
acts" Thus does Mr.. w. Hamilton
Cline herald one feature of the big Dick
Ferris indoor circus, which opens this
afternoon at Fourth and Hill streets.
More than likely the show will justify
Mr. Hamilton Cline's alliterative ad-
jectival adulation. At any rate he is fol-
lowing good precedent in his methods
Perhaps it is the name. Tody Hamilton
generally is regarded as the originator
of modern day circus flamboyancy,
though certainly Hamilton Cline is
proving himself an apt pupil, and GER
tainly also If he follows in the Hamil-
ton footsteps he can't go far astray.
These animal acts, however, are only
one and by no means the most import
ant feature of the big show. When the
Dick Ferris indoor circus opens this
afternoon there will be on the program
practically every circus act ordinarily
porgramed in big three-ring circus
and which can be crowded into the
space available. Men and women
equestrians, trapeze performers,
clowns, tumblers and all the other folk
of the sawdust world will be on hand
to amuse and entertain patrons. And
all of the acts will be performed in one
ring. despite the programs length.
You Can See 1t All
One of the great objections to the big
circuses of today is the fact that 1t is
impossible for a spectator to see all
that is going on. Sometimes he misses
the very act he most wanted to see.
Here nothing of that sort can happen.
All the acts will be presented in a
single ring and each can be welk seen
from every seat in the entire specta-
torium. Thus the old time circus goer,
the patron Of the one ring circus, will
have an opportunity once more to see
an old fashioned circus, such a show as
delighted him in the years that are
past.
The menagerie will be feature of the
Dick Ferris indoor circus, as 1t always
is of all circuses; and it will be feat
ure we'll worth seeing. There are four
great Malay tigers and with them a
litter of cub tigers, the first ever born
in captivity. These baby cat animals
are scarcely larger than kittens and
are fully as frolicsome.
Then there is a big cage of lions. a
sacred OK, camels, in fact all the ami
mails that go to make up a complete
menagerie. There is big herd of per-
forming elephants, the animals having
been trained to walk upon their hind
legs, stand on their heads, do cake
walk and to perform other difficult
feats, including a military marching
drill, which is done without a single

OLD HARPSICHORD MUSIC
is FEATURE OF PROGRAM
AdeIa Verne Will Give Matinee Recital
This Afternoon as Farewell
Appreciation to Los
Angeles

This afternoon at Simpson audito-
rum the real lovers of music will have
a feast in the program to be present
ed by Adela Verne, the great pianist.
This is the first matinee to be given
by this talented young player in Los
Angeles. Many requests had been
made for an afternoon recital, as
there are so many people from the
ouside who desired to listen to the in
terpretative genius of this clever
player.
This program will be a farewell APP
probation to Los Angeles and is most
attractively arranged. One group of
numbers includes five pieces arranged
for the harpsichord covering the period
of 1868 to 1887.
Another interesting number is a
quaint "Grandmother's Dance of the
Seventh Century" An interesting
Brahms number will also be intro
duced, and Part III consists of di-
yersified series of numbers which
should prove most interesting to all
lovers of the piano. This will be the
only matinee performance of Miss
Verne before leaving Los Angeles.

WRECK VICTIM IN SERIOUS

SUFFERED EARTHQUAKE SHOCK;
is AGAIN FRUSTRATED
Deputy Coroner Says Evidence Points
to careIessness of Conductor
Killed In Collision Thurs
day Night

Another victim may be added to the
list of killed and injured as a result
of the collision of Brooklyn avenue
car and Salt Lake & San Pedro
freight train at Deaths crossing" on
Macy street, Thursday night at 11:45
O'Clock.
Mrs. Herman C. Peters, who suffered
a nervous shock in the San Francisco
earthquake, and who never entirely
recovered, was brought to Los An
geles by her husband two months age
in the hope of having her health re-
stored. She was among the passengers
on the Brooklyn avenue car at the
time of the accident Thursday night
and Is now lying at the Majestic
apartments, First and Hope streets
in serious condition.
Her husband Is member OF the
wholesale grocery company of Pc
ters & Peters of San Francisco.
Deputy County Coroner Fred VIII
liams said yesterday that from infor-
nation he had gathered there seemed
to be no doubt tht the dead street car
conductor, r. H. Carter, was guilty
of criminal negligence.
1--WE will probably not hold the in
ing" he said, 'as we want to investi-
gate the accident thoroughly before
fixing the blame"
Witnesses Blame Conductor
According to witnesses, says Will
liams, the car, No. no, stopped at the
crossing and the conductor, as usual,
went ahead. He gave the signal to
cross, and Motorman M. F. Bechtol APP
ulied the power.
AS the car was directly across the
track the freight train, with a shrill
whistle, made the turn from back of
the buildings and crashed into 1t. The
motorman saw that the only chance
was to turn on the full power, which
he did.
The engine struck the coach in the
middle, splitting it almost in two. Be
meath the wreckage was found the
body of the conductor, clinging to the
guard rail.
H. B. Nichols, the freight car
brakeman who was thrown down a
steep embankment and crushed when
the oil car back of the engine on
which he was riding was derailed, is
at the California hospital and said to
be in a favorable condition.
1t is alleged that the Salt Lake rail-
road officials promised in December,
1903, when Charles Stern was killed in
similar collision there, to place a
flagman at the crossing, but that the
promise has not been kept, although
the road was urged to do so by the
city council Investigations may also
be directed in regard to this alleged
carelessness on the part of the road.

FOR MANY MONTHS
Returns to Los Angeles After Years
Absence and Attempts to slay
Two Supposed Enemies, but
Kills Only One

twelve months of absence in sunny
italy, during which he met, loved and
married a beautiful woman and was
blessed by the birth of pretty baby
boy. did not stifle the deep, burning
embers of Constantine Borseis enmity
for two Los Angeles countrymen.
Returning to this city after year S
absence in Italy, where, despite his
marriage and seeming happiness, he
was unable to forget the past, Borsei
Yesterday walked Unexpectedly into the
United Casting company's plant Violet
and Wilson streets, and, it is said,
without the slightest warning, shot
down Emilio d Eramo, killing him al
most instantly
He first fired at Michele Morante,
hut his bullet sped wide of it's mark,
and he then turned and In quick sue
cession fired three bullets, any of
which would have been fatal, into the
abdomen of Morante's companion,
d'Eramo. The latter fel. to the floor
and died in a few moments.
Borsei returned to Los Angeles
Thursday night and registered at q
hotel near the scene of the tragedy.
His trunk is still at the Arcade depot.
At 9:15 o'clock yesterday morning
Borsei left the hotel and strolled cas-
ually toward tie casting plant. He
walked, with the familiar air of one
who had been long employed there,
into the main wCIkroom Of the foundry,
smoking a cigarette, 1t is said, and
smiling casually.
Fires Fatal Shots
Then his eyes suddenly rested on
Morante.
without a word Borsei pulled his
revolver and fired at him. The bullet
missed, but it did not seem to be
observed by the revengeful Italian.
whose heart was ahame with some
consuming vendetta thirst. He turned
quickly and the next instant three
fatal bullets tore through the abdomen
of Emilio d'Eramo. The latter fell to
the floor, convulsing.
Laborers at the plant, despite the
smoking revolver and threatening at
titude of the slayer, rushed toward
him, pinned his arms behind him and
held him till Detectives Bruce Boyd
and Ben Mccain arrived to arrest him.
He was handcuffed and taken to jail.
1t is believed by the police that the
shooting was the result of an old feud
which originated in Los Angeles over
a year ago. at which time Borsei,
Morante and d'Eramo were employed
together at the casting plant This
feud, it is said, eliminated year ago
last December, when Borsei suddenly
packed his tools and departed for
Italy. There he settled down with his
bride, presumably to remain, but two
months ago returned to America. Untti
Thursday he remained at San Fran
cisco. He then came to Los Angeles.
Whether or not a love affair or a
business or trad ejealousy prompted
the shooting has not yet been deter
mined.
