TownspeopIe Do Heroic Work and
Finally Manage to Extinguish
Threatening BIazes-Much
Daring Shown

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, July 7.-Bar-
stow Is in state of intense excite
ment over daring attempt made last
night to set the town afire. George
Egan, arising at o'clock in the morn
ing to put out a porch light which an
noyed him, discovered a fire under the
steps of his porch and numerous other
fires swiftly curling about other struc-
lures in the business section.
Realizing that a desperate deed had
been attempted and that he could not
fight the numerous fires unaided, he
discharged his revolver, and with the
aid of locomotive whistles and bells
the town was soon thoroughly aroused,
when eight fires, set at different parts
of the town, were discovered.
During the work of controlling the
fires several deeds of personal bravery
were performed, one especially being
worthy of note, when four citizens took
their lives into their own hands to
tear away lot of flaming sacks which
had been wrapped about a tank con-
tanning fifty gallons of gasoline on the
rear porch of the Shepard & Wakefield
saloon.
Fires were discovered in the rear of
the Sloan & Hart saloon, and in an out
house nearby another blaze was dis
covered. The town is thoroughly
aroused,

HUMANE SOCIETY
GETS BIG SHARE
PASADENA SHOWS APPREClA-
TON OF SYSTEM
rs PER CENT OF PROCEEDS GIVEN
TO ORGANIZATION
So Successful is Solution Of Dog
License There That the City
Council Grants Extra
Dividend

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July This city's ar
rangement whereby the Humane So
ciety takes care of the dog license
problem has proved SO satisfactory and
profitable that the city council this
morning voted to hereafter allow the
society rs per cent of the proceeds
from licenses instead of so per cent, as
has been the custom in the past.
The city's expenses in the matter are
light, being confined to buying license
tags and giving out receipts for them
at the city hall.
The new share of the proceeds, which
will amount to about $500 annually, is
ample to cover this outlay, and 1t was
felt only just to allow the Humane
society the rest.
Officers of the society are jubilant
over the change, which they have been
advocating for some time.
1t will give them funds to handle the
dog license question in an even more
satisfactory manner than formerly.
One of their first steps will be to
erect a dog hospital where valuable
animals that are injured and would
now have to be killed can be cured and
placed in good homes

population" That the farmer may not
lose his independence, says President
Roosevelt, he must prepare to use to
constantly better advantage the knowl-
edge that can be obtained from agri-
cultural colleges, while he must insist
upon practical curriculum in the
schools in which his children are
taught"
"The United States department of
agriculture through the office OF ex-
detrimental stations is interested In
furthering the work in the schools.
The work is now intrusted to the state
colleges and agricultural colleges, and
is rapidly being introduced into high
schools. 1t is but question of time
before it will be general in the ele-
mentary schools"
The main point of insistence in the
work of the school garden was that the
development of the children was the
primary concern, the appearance of the
garden secondary. When it becomes an
end rather than means its place in
school work is sacrificed.

ORDERS SURVEY FOR ARROYO
SECO 1OO0-F00T BRIDGE

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July THE Lincoln
Park league at its meeting last night
ordered surveys made of the proposed
bridge arcoss the Assoyo Seco near the
District farm. The Garvanza and High
land Park Improvement associations
are cooperating in this movement,
which has as its object the expediting
of transportation between the two Sec
lions.
The bridge desired will be about 1000
feet long and 65 feet high. If built of
reinforced concrete its cost will be
about 5000, although wooden bridge
could be built for about half that sum-
The bridge will form the connecting
link between Pasadena avenue in High
land Park and Pasadena avenue in
South Pasadena, and will greatly en-
courage through travel by shortening
the distance and lessening the grades
Candidates for supervisor from this
district at the fall election will I'M
doubtedly have to pledge themselves to
work for the construction of the bridge
if they wish the vote of the section
concerned.

PASADENA, July THE position
of city veterinarian. made vacant by
the resignation last night of DR.. c. w

the appointment of DR.. w. A. Bouch-
err of Sc Dayton avenue.
The salary of the position was raised
to $3.50 per month, an increase of $25.
DR.. Boucher will furnish his own help
and treat the city's horses free.
DIR. Barrett gave as his reason for
resigning that he was unable to con-
tinue to work with DR.. Stanley P.
Black, city health officer. He COM
planned that the health officer had re-
fused to allow him a helper, and also
explained that he could not agree with
the system of testing cows for tuber-
culosis insisted upon by DR.. Black. 1t
is a more elaborate and expensive
method than DIR. Barrett considers
necessary.
DR.. Boucher graduated from On
tario veterinary college, Toronto, in
1901. He has lived here five years.

VOICES OF THE DEAD.
Stories of Condemned Murderers Pre-
served by Photographs.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-That grewsome
figure Of speech-'Listening to a
voice from the grave"-has become a
startling reality.
Any unbeliever to verify this state
ment has only to visit the office of
Coroner Hoffman some time in the
near future, and hear the voices of
murderers, making their last denials
or detailed confessions, after they
have paid the penalty for their mis-
deeds
These voices of the dead are to be-
come a portion of the county records.
They will take their place among the
musty files of the coroner's office,
and when necessary may be used in
court. The verbal statement of a
man who is dead seldom finds its
way into courts at present, except as
repeated by another, but this is one
of the promises of the new system.
The phonograph already has been
used in one important murder case
that of Mrs. Fannie Thompson who
was strangled in a Michigan avenue
rooming house.
The story of Luman c. Mann, ac-
cused of being the mysterious Ray
mOnd.' who rented the room in which
the woman was murdered has been
transferred to one of the records and
may be heard among the other voices
whic hthe coroner is preserving in
