"Oh, no; no angels for me. She

The portrait was added, but several

News From Neighboring Cities
AFTER PARTIAL ANALYSIS
FINDS POISON PRESENT
Sickness of Vest Family Still Remains
Mystery-Two Extra Patrolmen
Detailed to Investigate
the Case

PASADENA, Dec. 2.-Prof A. K.
Gaylord of Throop has not completed
the exceedingly thorough analysis he
is making in connection with the poi
soning, November 80, of Mrs. L. M.
Vest and her two children. He has
discovered, however, poison OF dis
tinct character that must have been
introduced by some method into the
simple food of which the family par
took.
The meal INDUCED in was of the
plainest character, consisting of a ce-
real breakfast food, milk and sugar
As regards the first, it is noted that 1t
was contained in carton, into which
it would seem almost impossible to in
troduce a foreign poison.
The theory of suicide has been uni
versally rejected, all agreeing that Mrs.
Vest was a most unlikely person to
attempt such thing, apart from the
fact that it would mean also the muir
der of her children, to whom she is
much attached. She is in moderate
financial circumstances and is not
known to have any reasons for being
tired of life.
Equally puzzling is the supposition
of a murderous attempt by an outsider,
as Mrs. Vest is not known to have any
bitter enemies.
The chief of police today visited the
woman, and although the authorities
will continue to be much in the dark
until Prof. Gaylord shall have finished
his analysis, Patrolmen Schultz and
Peck have been set specially to work
on the case, the police being resolved
to leave no stone unturned in their
endeavor to throw light on what ap-
pears to be at present an lmpenetrable
mystery.

MAY CALL ELECTION
FOR BOND ISSUANCE
Proposition of Water Company for
Construction of System to Sup
ply Entire City Meets
with Favor
Isnecial to The Herald

POMONA, Dec. among the impor-
tant things considered at the meeting
of the local city trustees at yesterday
afternoons meeting was the PROPOSE
ton for building a high pressure water
system to give better city fire protec-
ton, the illegality of the recent city
hall bond election, the calling of new
election, the opening of bids for an
auto fire truck and the locating of the
new city stables at White avenue and
the Southern Pacific track.
All the trustees favor the proposition
of the water company to build COM
plete water system connecting with its
big tunnel north of Claremont to bring
water down here under a pressure of a
hundred pounds and distribute it over
the business section of the city and in
the residence sections of the city wher-
ever possible. The city must agree to
pay for the fire hydrants and also a
rental of 25 cents a month for each tap,
and also promise that the present water
rates will be maintained for seven years
from date.
The board is considering the matter
of introducing a resolution of intention
to call an election on the question of
issuing bonds to the amount of $50,000
$50, 900 to be expended for a new city
hall and $4,000 for the purchase of
block 65. The former bond election for
the city hall has been declared illegal.

A Model
Cafeteria
43O South Broadway

A new cafeteria was thrown open to
the public Tuesday at 43O South Broad
way, occupying the entire second floor
of the Bumiller building.
To say chat it took" with the pub
lie is but putting it mildly. As early
as IL O'Clock streams of people began
pouring in and at 1 o'clock the man
agement were compelled to close the
DOOR for want of supplies, not having
DIR, med of such an ovation.
Monday was inspection day." when
large and continuous stream of
some of the best people of Los Angeles
flowed into the light and airy and spa
cious rooms of this modern eating es-
tablishment from IL a. m. to $50 p. M,
during which hours delicious ice cream
and cake were served free to every
one who visited the premises.
Wednesday the crowds were even
greater than on Monday and Tuesday
and arrangements for caring for the
crowds were ample and all were thor
oughly satisfied with the abundance of
good things to eat and the most ex-
cellent service.
The management have adopted the
unique and significant name $50 Diff
ferent" for their cafeteria to designate
it from other places of a similar char
acter, and to indicate thereby it's dis
tinguishing features. The question is
frequently asked, In what way is this
cafeteria different from others? The
question could not be satisfactorily
answered in a column of newspaper
space. So to one and all it is suggested
go and see." Incidentally it might
be said that perhaps a few of the points
in which the eating" public might be
interested is the fact that good" light
and good" air are quickly noted by
everyone entering there-this is differ
ent. The management promises that
nothing but good things to eat will
be served to patrons-another point of
difference worthy of note. Again, the
things supposed to be served hot will
be served hot-which is quite a differ
ence. And yet again, the kitchen will
be kept as clean and inviting at all
times as the dining room. 1t is said
that this. is both a distinction and a
difference, with. a big d. But, since
it is best not to particularize, you are
invited to "go and see," for seeing is
believing.

most of the lodges and fraternal bodies
will be in line, and the Native Sons
will muster 500 members.
The parade viii assemble on Temple
street, opposite the court house, and
march east to Spring street, south TO
Eighth, west to Broadway and north
to the court house grounds, where the
unwilling ceremony will be held.
In sending out its requests to civic
and commercial bodies to join the pa

Things, says
1T is unnecessary to recall to your
mind the importance to the city of

pating.
The mother of the late senator will
be present at the unwilling ceremonies,

MT. WILSON OBSERVATORY
LENS ARRIVES SAFELY
Has Been Brought from France and

ing viii Take More
Than Year

PASADENA, Dec. ELEVEN days out
from New York, there reached Pasa-
dena this morning the great glass cast
ing which, when ground at the Santa
Barbara street laboratory of the Mount
Wilson observatory, is to form the
great 1O0-ineh telescope lens to be
placed on the mountain peak. While it
is generally called a lens, in reality
the glass is to be a mirror and will
form a telescope similar to the great
five-foot one now being completed on
the peak.
The rough glass, as it reached Pasa-
dena over the Southern Pacific, IS
valued at 100000. It was cast abroad
and shipped to New York. Thence it
was brought to Pasadena on an Or
binary fiat car. All agents along the
line were wired to take special care of
the car and see that it was not dam
aged. The glass was shipped in bond
to the solar observatory, and the duty
will have to be paid in this city.
The glass weighs six and a half tons,
and it will take a year or two, in all
probability, to polish it and carry it To
the mountain top. 1t was cast at st.
GOdin, France.

QUALIFICATION FOR FREE
DELIVERY TO BE JUDGED

SANTA MONICA, Dec. 2.-Much in
terest is being manifested by the citi-
zens OF this city in the coming visit of
Postal Inspectors Knox and Hall, who
are due here Thursday to inspect actual
conditions relative to qualifications of
this city for carrier service.
The question of free delivery has
been discussed a long time, first one
inspector coming and reporting and
then another, and still nothing has
been said about establishing the ser
vice. Petition after petition has found
its way to the authorities at Wash
ington, only to disappear from the
public view, and still no free delivery.
1t is understood the visit of the in
spectors at this time win settle for all
time to come the validity of Santa
Monica's claims to free delivery
