MIS-. James smith, Dr., Caught Be-
tween Gates at Railway Crossing.
RED BANK. N. j.. June 22.-Mrs.
of New Jersey. narrowly escaped death
Saturday night at the Central railroad
crossing at the main street of this place.
She was pinned in her automobile under
the gates. aud then released only to have
the machine grazed by a swiftly passing
express. The gates in falling struck Mrs.
Smith a glancing blow on the head. in
flicting a painful scalp wound. The doc
tors who attended her say that she es-
| capped a fracture of the skull by small
| margin.
Mrs. Smith had been calling upon
friends here, and started for her home in
mobile AS the chauffeur approached the
crossing he saw that the gates were up
and started to drive across. The gate
man had evidently delayed lowering the
gates, although the express was approach
ing and dropped them as soon as he saw
the automobile. He was not soon enough
however, and the heavy bar fell across
the tonneau of the machine, hitting Mrs.
Smith The chauffeur cried out. the front
of the machine being directly across the
track on which the train was approaching,
and the gateman raised the bar just In
time to allow the auto to shoot across to
safety.
The blow and fright caused Mrs. Smith
to faint. and the chauffeur drove the ma
chine as fast as he could to the local hos
initial. There Mrs. Smith was revived and
the cash in her head sewed up. After
few minutes rest she was a BILE to proceed
to Elberon.

GEORGE ANNABLE FIRES AT
MRS. GRIFFIN
WOUNDS CONTRACTOR WHIT
LOCK IN THE SHOULDER
Follows Woman Who Refused to Live
with Him to Urblta Springs
and Is Now Lying
In Jail

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, June 2S.-
George Annable, son OF a well known
attorney of this city, is under arrest
tonight on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon. and A. R. Whitlock, a
contractor, is suffering from the effects
of a bullet in the shoulder, alleged to
have been fired from revolver WELD
ed by Annable today. Whitlock, 1t is
said, was shot while Annable was
seeking to kill Mrs. Frank Griffin at
Urbita Springs. She was staying at
the residence of Jack Grunnell, the
brother-in-law of Whitlock.
A matrimonial ENHANCEMENT Is re-
sponsible for the shooting. Mrs. Grif-
fin was deserted by her husband about
a year ago and after securing an in
terlocutory decree of divorce from him
went to Arizona with Annable. going
through a form of marriage with him.
Learning afterward that the marriage
was void because a final decree had
not been entered, Mrs. Griffin left An
nable. who several times has attempt
ed to persuade her to marry him.
During the past few days he was
warned by the police on account of his
efforts to modest the woman, who went
to Urbita Springs to avoid him. An
nable, 1t is alleged, followed her there
and fired three shots at her, one of
them wounding Whitlock, who hap
pened to be in the house.

This road would prove one OF the finest
scenic lines In Southern California, and
at the same time would open UP popu-
lous region heretofore unaccommodated
with electric transportation.

Federation of w. C. T. U. and Nu.
merous Addresses Are Made
by State Officers
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, June 2S.-A great
STAINLESS Flag rally was held in the
First Christian church at three this af-
ternoon, under the auspices of the Pas
adena Federation w. C. T. U. Temper
ance and church workers from all
parts of the city were present, as well
as officers of the state, county and city
unions.
Mrs. Hester T. Griffith, state pres
ident, read the Crusade Psalm and
Mrs. Julia D. Phelps, county president,
responded to the address of welcome
OF Elmer Laws, superintendent of the
First Christian Sunday school. Most
of the pastors, superintendents and w.
C. T. u. officers present made short
talks.
Temperance recitations and class ex-
ercises, with music by duet. quartet
and the audience, made up the rest Of
the program.
, In addition to this rally, the union
furnished speakers for practically all
the Sunday schools in the morning.
One of the most interesting of these
was Mrs. Gilchrist, who has been
teacher among the Indians for twenty
eight years, and will return again to
the work this week. She described
vividly the ravages which whisky had
wrought among the Indians.
Arrangements have been made for
Bishop Warne, the well known temper

FIGURE ON CONSTRUCTION
OF IMMENSE AUDITORIUM
carmelita Gardens Association May
Start Active Campaign to Raise
Necessary Funds and Pay
Off Mortgage
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, June 2S.-The Carme-
lita Gardens association has been
stirred to renewed activity by the an
nouncement yesterday that the state
Christian Endeavor convention Will be
held here next year. =. L. Daggett,
president, stated today that a meeting
probably would be called in two or
three weeks to consider the matter of
raising funds, and when fall comes an
active campaign will be started to Sc
cure money for the construction of an
auditorium on the ten acres of prop
erty which the association controls.
Portland parties representing the eS-
tate of Simeon Reed hold a mortgage
OF about $4,000 on the land, which falls
due next month. AS no steps nave
been taken so far toward paying of
this indebtedness before 1t becomes due
it is feared that the trustees will fore
close. In this case the work OF con-
structing an auditorium might be con-
siderably hindered and delayed. How
ever, Mr.. Daggett stated today that
the association still hoped to conclude
an ARRANGEMENT of some kind under
which they would be given more time.
In case the mortgage should be fore
closed the association would stlli De
able, according to the law, to secure
a years time in which to arrange
settlement before the property passed
out of it's hands.
Willis Eason of 9S4 North Raymond
avenue is in charge of the financial
arrangements. At the present time he
is still engaged in paying for the land,
the purchase price of $4,000 having
been all pledged but not yet entirely
collected.
Pasadena architects undoubtedly will
offer their services without compensa-
ton to design an auditorium for the
site, although none has done so as yet:
1t is planned to erect a hall which will
seat nearly 5000, but which can be cur
tailed by shutting off smaller rooms
around the sides. This will make 1t
available for other than very large
crowds, and it can undoubtedly be
leased to an amusement company at
good profit. Directors of the associa-
ton say they will have no auditorium
at all unless they can have good one,
and it is probable that not less than
S125,O0O will be expended on the build
ing.

Surveyor for Ocean Park Company
Completes Map Displaying Con-

Of Santa Monica Bay

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, June 2S.-Col.
Coolbaugh, surveyor for the Ocean
Park Prospecting and Developing COM
pany, has just completed a section
map of a portion Of the Santa Monica
mountain slope and incidentally 1t
shows where certain railroad construc-
ton work is going forward along the
northern portion of this shore.
The colonel, who was the builder of
the Chicago alley elevated railroad. has
no doubt that the railroad now in
course Of construction Is to be part of
the Western Pacific, the Gould sys-
tenn. Large gangs Of graders are now
at work at the shore edge OF the
Rancho Topango Malibu, the property
of Mrs. Rindge, widow Of Frederick
Rindge.
This is an interesting ranch. for 1t
Is twenty-seven miles long and aver
ages only about half mile in width.
The road being built is as close to the
water as are the Southern Pacific
tracks between Ventura and Santa
Barbara. 1t crosses four canyons on
tressel work. These are the Dry, Cor
raj. Puerco and Maria canyons.
The line thus being projected up the
coast, almost unnoticed, will connect
with a section already built in the
neighborhood of Hueneme, Ventura
county. A survey has been made for
a road from Ventura across the noun
tains by way of Nordhoff to Bakers
field. but George c. Power and several
other engineers doubt whether this
route is feasible. 1t may have nothing
to do with the coast line going up along
the Rindge property.

ly intended to show the oil-oearing
land owned by the company the colonel
represents, and by himself personally,

LUMBER YARDS AND TIMBER
BURNED IN SAWPlT CANYON

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, June 2S.-The
lumber yards of the San Bernardino
Lumber and Box company In Sawpit
canyon, about twenty-five miles north
west of this city, were destroyed by
fire Friday night. Three hundred and
fifty thousand feet of lumber were
consumed and a large area of small
timber and brush on the mountain side
was burned over before the fire was
brought under control by the rangers.
The firef1ghters had desperate fight
to save the sawmill from destruction.
The blaze started in pile or dry
lumber belonging to the government,
being set alight by a spark. The prin-
cipal owners in the company are Red
lands men, A. Gregory being at the
head of the concern. The loss is about
$4,000. The destruction of the lumber
supply probably will cause the tenn
porary shutting down Of the box-mak-
ing factory In this city.

LONG BEACH BATHERS
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
WARNING BY LIFE GUARDS Is
DISREGARDED
Oklahoma City Man Resuscitated with
Difficulty and Four Others Res
cued from Pier by the
Wharfinger

Special TO The Herald.
LONG BEACH, June 2S.-John Bow
ell of Oklahoma City and four other
young men came near drowning in the
surf this afternoon. Bowel had mar
low escape from death, being resusci-
tated with difficulty. The four other
men refused to give their names to
Manager Archer of the bath house
after they had received treatment in
the emergency hospital.
Bowel and the four others failed to
heed the warning given by the life
savers, George Falla and ]. w. Orr,
when the signalman at the lifesaving
station warned them of the formation
of a big tide rip outside the breaker
line, and remained out some distance
from the shore when the other bathers
retired nearer shore.
A series of big breakers soon swept
over the nve men and they were
caught by the tide and carried sea-
ward.
Bowel became utterly exhausted and
c Iuld be seen from shore floating help
lessly and in danger of going down at
any moment. The lifeguards rushed
the catamaran from the beach out
through the breakers and reached him
as he was almost to give up the strug-
gle.
Meantime Assistant Wharfinger Haz-
eltine had entered a skiff at the outer
wharf and picked UP the four other
bathers, who by that time had been
carried out nearly as far as the end
of the pier. They were landed at the
pier and were taken to the bath house
for reviving treatment.
Bowell who was unconscious, was
resuscitated on the beach by Manager
Archer and the lifeguards, an immense
crowd gathering around to watch the
strenuous procedure.
Bowel is % years old and a grocery
dealer in Oklahoma City. He is stay
ing at the Eastman apartments in this
city.
Nearly score of other bathers were
assisted by the lifeguards today Many
of these were old people or children
who were knocked down by the break
ers or went out too far and felt the
force of the cross-currents, which
pulled to the east and west spasmodi-
caIly.
