HEROIC WOMAN SAVES
UNCONSCIOUS MAN
LAUNDRY DRIVER FAlNTS;
TEAM RUNS AWAY
Mourning Mother Rushes from Chill

ened Horses Just In Time
to Rescue Driver

A woman's heroism undoubtedly
saved the life of A. Johnson, driver
for the Drivers Independent laundry,
yesterday afternoon.
The woman was Mrs. w. w. Wilson
of Magnolia avenue, and the accident
in which Johnson so nearly lost his
life happens a short distance from the
entrance to Rosedale cemetery, where
Mrs. Wilson was visiting the graves of
her two children.
While kneeling above one of the
graves Mrs. Wilson saw a team OF
frightened horses running Inadly down
the street. Raising from the ground
and gazing at the runaway the woman
was Mortified to see the legs and part
of the body of a man hanging through
the floor of the wagon and dragging on
the ground.
The team was still some distance
away and the woman fastened to the
street, arriving there just in time to
grasp the animals by the bits and stop
them.
Investigation disclosed that johnson,
the driver, had suffered a fainting
spell and portion of his body had
slid through a hole in the floor of
the wagon.
1t was impossible to find a physician
in the neighborhood, so the police were
summoned and the ill man was taken
to the receiving hospital, where he was
allowed to rest.

TWO MEN LEAP FROM
MOVING S. P. TRAIN
PECULIAR PATIENT HELD AT
RECEIVING HOSPITAL
One Man Pushes to Foothills and De-
spite Officers Efforts EIudes
Arrest-Second Captured
After Fight

While the Southern Pacific inbound
passenger train No. l was running
twenty miles an hour near Palm
Springs last night an unidentified man
sprang from his seat in the chair car,
rushed to the platform, leaped to the
ground and escaped to the hills nearby.
Later on. while nearing Dolgeville, a
man giving the name of Joe Melosich,
who was riding with the man who
escaped, jumped from the train III the
same manner as his fellow passenger
and ran as fast as he could. The train
was stopped and officer Andrews of the
Southern Pacific secret service. who
was aboard. pursued the man and after
a struggle captured him.
The man was severely bruised about
the face and body. and his clothing was
badly torn. He became violent and 1t
was necessary to put handouts on him.
When the train arrived in Los An
geles Offfcer Andrews took the man to
the receiving hospital. where his in
juries were treated.
Owing to Melosich's slight knowledge
of the English language little could be
learned about him, but the surgeons
succeeded in learning that the man
came from New York, where he has a
family.
The peculiar and violent actions of
the man lead the surgeons to believe
he is suffering from mental derange-
ment. After being treated at the re-
ceiying hospital he was taken to the
county hospital and his mental condi-
ton will be investigated.
Several efforts were made to learn
from Melosich why the other man quit
the train, but all were unsuccessful

Great Care Taken In Collecting Facts

There are $3.50 translents, as well,

the Los Angeles City Directory COM

"The parents of those children, many
of them, would move shortly, thus they
were transients."
Great care was taken in collecting the
facts for this city directory. House to
house visits were made by the hundred
men engaged in collecting data, that
number now being twenty all told.
The major portion of the work of col
lecting data was completed about six
weeks ago, and 1t took day and hair
to run the figures through the adding
machine to ascertain the total popula-

Many changes were reported through
out the city, and the company's agents
had to take account of all these.

NO POOL PLAYING
NIGHT RSUNDAY
SUPERVISORS PASS STRINGENT
ORDINANCE
REST LEAGUE ADVOCATE WINS
VICTORY
No Boys VIII Be Allowed Inside, Un-
less Accompanied by or with
Consent of Parents or
Guardiens

Pool rooms in unincorporated towns
in Los Angeles county will feel the eff
feet of an ordinance passed by
the board of supervisors yesterday.
The provisions of the ordinance are
that all pool rooms shall be closed
daily from midnight until 6 a. M; that
they shall be closed at midnight Sat-
urday until 6 a. m. of the following
Monday; that the age limit shall be Is,
but youths under this age shall be per-
mitted to enter and play If accompan-
led by parents or guardians, or have
written consent of parents or guard
ians.
Ali pool rooms must be licensed by
the board, which reserves the right to
grant or withhold licenses. The char
acter of the applicant shall be ascer-
tanned in each instance. Licenses may
be revoked at the discretion of the
board. Disorderly or loose conduct will
not be permitted in the pool rooms.
The penalty for keeping open on Sun
day will be the revocation of the IL
cense.
The desirability of the ordinance as
drawn up a week ago and presented to
the board by the district attorney was
advocated by Rev. William Francis
Ireland. state secretary of the Sunday
Rest league; while Attorney L. w.
Jutten, representing certain manufac-
turers of pool and billiard furniture,
argued that the original draft of the
ordinance was too stringent.
Would Allow Minors
Jutten asked that the Sunday closing
clause be stricken out and that minors
be permitted to frequent pool rooms
in company with their parents and
guardians. The latter request was ac-
ceded to by the board, but the former
was allowed to stand as 1t was.
In regard to the Sunday closing
clause, he read a decision rendered by
Judge Ostler of San Bernardino argu-
ing that the closing of pool rooms on
Sunday is unconstitutional.
That the ordinance, as originally
drafted, would have proved popular in
neighboring towns was shown by Rev.
Mr.. Ireland, who presented a number
of petitions from Glendora, Clearwa-
ter, Florence, San Dimas, Tropico.
Burbank, Sherman, Downey, Rivera,
Miramonte. La Canada and Palms ex-
pressing satisfaction with 1T. 1t was
his desire that the age limit be fixed
at 81 instead of Is and that minors be
prohibited entirely from entering the
places.
The clause defining any violation of
! the ordinance as a misdemeanor pun
| ishable with fine of not less than $500
| or Imprisonment for not more than
| 100 days or both was stricken out and
withdrawal of the license substituted.
In the session of yesterday morning
Supervisor Alexander moved to pass
the ordinance in it's original form and
was supported by Supervisor Manning.
Wilson, Eldridge and Patterson ia
vored further discussion and the sub
ject was held over to the afternoon
session, when the changes were effected
and the ordinance finally passed.

WOMAN AIDING
His CANDIDACY
MISS TALBOT SAYS JOHNSON
is OUT TO WIN
DIRECTS GOVERNORS PRESS
WORK IN LOS ANGELES
"He's the Finest Man In the Land"
She Declares, land I'm Going
to Help Elect
Him"

If anybody doubts the chances of
Governor John A. Johnson of Mime
sofa to become the next president of
the United States, he ought to have a
talk with Mr.. Johnson's personal press
agent, Miss Helen Mae Talbot, who
has been in Los Angeles for the last six
months, with headquarters at the Ho-
tel Portsmouth, 5161k South Hill street.
working up the Southern California end
OF his presidential boom.
Miss Talbot Is a chic little southern
girl from Alabama, with big gray eyes
that fairly sparkle every time anybody
says johnson" She has a magnifi-
cent head of dark brown hair and a
pretty face, while her voice and accent
are just beginning to get rid of their
Dixie style. She has been on the stage,
too, where she made a real hit, 1t is
limited, as an actress, and she also has
strong penchant for literature and
play-writing, in both of which lines
some of her friends say she reveals de-
cided ability.
Miss Talbot spent number of years
in the Gopher state and knows nearly
as much about its Scandinavian settlers
as she does about the ''oP mammies"
of the south, and she thinks they are
an admirable race of people. Anyway,
she is quite sure Johnson is one of the
greatest men anywhere-and If anybody
disputes it there is apt to be trouble.
Miss Talbott's main reason for boost
ing Johnson, aside from her personal
friendship for him, she says. Is because
he is the son of q washerwoman. she
thinks that ought to be enough to get
him big popular vote, and as for his
other qualifications-weIl, when she

Miss Talbot declares Johnson is Gin
the fight to win," and that he will make
speech at the Denver convention
(which will make Bryan's Chicago
speech anent the cross of gold and
crown of thorns sound like phono-
graph record"-when Johnson gets
warmed up to it's climax.
'If Mr.. Johnson doesn't carry that
Denver convention away from Bryan
and all the rest of them 1t will be be-
cause they don't know him as do
she said yesterday. Anybody who
knows johnson well couldn't keep from
supporting him, no matter what he was
running for. He's the biggest and best
man in the nation-and If the Demo-
Gratis really want good material they
can't go past him."
What are you going to do here to
boost his campaign" she was asked.
well, you just watch mel" she re-
piled, smiling sweetly at the reporter,
and then assuming a most determined
expression. I'm going to give out lit
erature and let everybody know just
what kind of a grand fellow he is. If
anybody wants to hear about Johnson,
I'VE got a whole room full OF pamphlets,
and I'll mail them postpaid to anybody
who writes to me.
Eyes, sir, I'm going to boom him for
the presidency, and 1t won't be my fault
IL he doesn't go to the White House,"

MASCOT COPPER COMPANY
OPENS OFFICES
Has Valuable Ore Deposits In Dos
Cabezos District, Arizona and
Has Developed Large
Area

Another of the big mining companies
of the country has added to the in
dustries of Los Angeles and Southern
California. The Mascot Copper COM
pany, owning one of the biggest ore
bodies in Arizona, has made it's head
quarters here and has offices at S14
Central building, Sixth and Main

The Mascot company owns 600 acres
of mineral lands in tho Dos Cabezos
district in Cochise county, Ariz., and
has developed it's properties to q point
where permanent ore bodies have been
opened at depth. In the development
and equipment of the mines the COM
pany has expended $250,000 and the

est mines of the west.
The Mascot has for it's consulting
engineer Ben w. libby, for thirty years
known over the mining regions of the
west as safe mining expert, and who
for seventeen years was the superin-
tendent of the Parrot Copper COM
mines at Butte, Mont Capt.
libby now has charge of the develop
ment work of the Mascot properties
and declares the ore quality and guam
tity to be enough to make it one of
the largest and most valuable copper
in the United States.
Interested as stockholders in the
company are three score or more citi-
zens of Los Angeles. many of them
being large shareholders.
Samples of the ore are on exhibition
at the office of the company and have
