HITCHCOCK PLAYS A MOST
CAREFUL GAME OF POLITICS
Republican Leaders in New York Try
to obtain an Expression Regard
ing Hughes Nomination,
but Fall

NEW YORK, July 31.-If the Repub-
lican political leaders of New York
state, who conferred today with Frank
H. Hitchcock, chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, hoped to
draw from the Taft manager an eX-
preston of opinion as to the wisdom or
renominating Governor Hughes for a
second term, or of turning him down,
they were keenly disappointed.
Practically the entire day was spent
by Mr.. Hitchcock in listening to state
leaders expound their views on the
governorship question, but he told them
all that it was not a part of his duties
to pick candidates for state tickets.
He declared that he would not con-
sent to take any part in purely state
campaigns, so long as no party breach
that might endanger the national tick
ct was threatened.
Not only did Mr.. Hitchcock conceal
his own preference in regard to. the
governorship, but he successfully elud-
ed every effort on the part of the call
erh to learn whether President Roose-
welt and Judge Taft were in favor OF
the denomination of Hughes. He SAID
he had not discussed the question at
Cincinnati with Judge Taft. not had ne
received any communication from Mr..
Roosevelt regarding the matter

SANTA ANA, July 31.-The long
threatened litigation over the right of
the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation COM
pany to use open bitches for its dis
tributing system within the city limits
was commenced today, when City At
torney w. F. Heathman, for the city of
Santa Ana, filed a complaint asking for
an injunction to restrain the irrigation
company from the further use of open
bitches along that portion of its system
between Ross and Baker streets, on
West Washington avenue, and on East
Seventeenth, between Bush and French
streets.
The settlement of this matter has
been forced upon the city by the urgent
demand of certain property owners for
protection from the danger of open
bitches fronting their homes, and the
alternative was given the irrigation
company some months ago of placing
its bitches underground or defending
an action in the courts. Attorneys for
the irrigation company claim the city
has absolutely no case, as the COM
panys system was installed and in
working order before the city streets
were laid out, and say the action taken
by the city, if sustained by the courts.
would mean absolute confiscation OF
the eompany's property.

CATALINA EXCITED OVER
MYSTERIOUS WILD WOMAN
Tourists Returning from Hunting
Trips Declare They Have Seen
Her Frequently, but She
Eludes Pursuit

Special to The Herald.
AVALON, Catalina Island, July 81
A wild woman" coming from none
knows where and dwelling in what
cryptic cavern of the leland Businesses
none may guess, is the latest and most
exciting sensation in Catalina.
According to boatmen and others
who frequently make trips into various
inlets and retreats of the magic isle,
the woman is never seen before sunset
and no one has ever been able to get
close enough to her to FORM any we'll
defined conception of her appearance,
except to note that she is dliiiost huae
and carries a rifle.
The wild woman has been seen Dy
a number of the islanders, lnelr
stories are to be believed, ana all VINO
claim to have seen her pronounce her
exceptionally wild" and of powerful
Amazonian proportions.
Her hair, according to c--11non re-
port, is long and entirely UNBOUND,
flowing in spectral tresses over her
hare shoulders and down to her waist.
Her skin is said to be tanned, but her
natural complexion, according TO sew
eral who claim suddenly to have run
across her in some of the canyons, Is
that of an Anglo-SaXon. She Is de-
scribed as beautiful, but tim1d as
fawn.
About three months ago, rumor has
it, she was seen for the first time in
ravine not far from Whites landing.
She appeared going over the brow or
a hill. on the apex of which she paused
awhile and stood gazing over the sea
and leaning on her rife.
About a month ago the wild Wo-
man" was seen in the vicinity of the
isthmus, and several boys spent nearly
day looking for her rendezvous, but
without avail.
The wild woman completely eludes
all followers, and is as nimble as a
goat when it comes to running up and
down hills.
At the first the story of her presence
on the island was dscredited, but in
the last few days tourists have re-
turned to Avalon from hunting trips
and verified the report. They claim to
have seen her in sections of the island
widely apart, indicating that she is a
great traveller
There has been some talk in Avalon
of organizing a searching party to go
after the woman and run her down. A
number of men have volunteered, but
the women here think she ought to be
left alone

BUILDING OF VIADUCT WILL BE
FACILITATED
Action of cawston Company in Agree
ing to Deed Thirty-Foot Strip Has
Rendered Speedy construc-
ton Possible

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 31.-By agreeing
to deed thirty-foot strip of its land
for street purposes the lwston COM
pany has taken I. step which will be of
great assistance in building the pro-
posed viaduct over the arroyo on Mis-
sion street.
This viaduct, which is greatly de-
sired by all residents of the district,
would open up Pasadena avenue clear
through to this city. 1t will be built
of concrete and will conduct both the
Pacific Electric and Salt Lake railway
tracks, thus doing away with the two
unsafe and unsightly wooden struc-
lures now in use.
Tt is understood that the Pacific
Electric company already has signified
its willingness to move its tracks.
Supervisor Patterson has promised to
support the project in every way pos
sible, and r. W. Pridham, candidate
for Patterson's Office is also reported
as promising to use every endeavor to
secure the bridge if he is elected.
The action of the Cawston company
will insure an adequate approach for
the viaduct and remove one of the
greatest obstacles in the way of speedy
construction.

day. The lad was playing on the
beach and picked up a small cylindrical
object which had f1oated in with the

mind he cut it in half and, procuring
a match. applied it to the pieces. The
substance Immediately exploded, burn
ing him badly about the hands and
face.
A great deal of speculation was in
dulged in as to what the substance
was and whence it came. The general
theory advanced is that someone along
the coast had been dynamiting fish
and had carelesslv thrown portion of
a stick of dynamite into the water.
The unfortunate victim of the acct
dent is doing we'll and, aside from a
few scars, probably will be none the
