NEWS OF FOREST SERVICE
TO BE PUBLISHED GRATIS
Attorney General Declares Information
Now Furnished to Newspapers and
Other Publications Does Not
Infringe Statute

A clause in the agricultural appropri-
alton bill affecting the forest service
has been the subject of a recent opin-
ion by the attorney general. The
clause provided that no part Of the
appropriation for the forest service
"shall be paid or used for the purpose
of paying for, in whole or in part, the
preparation or publication of any
newspaper or magazine article, but
this shall not prevent the giving out
to all persons without discrimination,
including newspaper and magazine
writer's and publishers of any facts or
official information of value to the
public
The question was submitted to the
attorney general by the secretary of
agriculture whether this provision of
the law prohibited the sending to news
papers, writers and others of such
statements as it has been distributing
in the past. To this inquiry the at
torney general replied:
"You say that no money will be paid
on this account to any newspaper or
magazine or to any newspaper, maga-
zine writer or publisher, or to any
person not regularly employed in the
forest service.
obviously such information as has
been collected and distributed here
tofore and will continue to be sent out,
is of value to the public, and certainly
your determination that it is so, as
head of the department of agriculture,
is conclusive. Under this statement of
facts l can see no reason to doubt
that your conception of your official
duty in this respect is legally correct"

FEAST OF P0RTlUNCULA
KEPT WITH GREAT P0MP
Services at st. Joseph's and Church OF
Our Lady of Angels Mark
Special Period of ln-
dulgences

Yesterday the feast of the Portiun-
cula INDULGENCE was observed in two of
the Catholic church of Los Angeles
with great pomp and ceremony. ST.
Joseph's, the only Franciscan church,
and the Church of Our Lady of An
gels, which was up to the time or the
secularization of the missions IN tne
charge of the franciscan missionaries,
were the churches to observe this IN
diligence yesterday.
The fast is one for the Franciscan
churches only as it was through
vision that st. Francis of Assist, foun-
der of the Franciscan order at the
place, received the command to ask
for a favor, and as a result gained
the Portiuncula plenary indulgence,
which was ratified by the pope in 1921.
For twenty-five years the indulgence
was granted solely at the little church
at Assist, but subsequently it was
granted to all Franciscan churches for
the one day only.
The feast proper extends from sun
set August 1 to sunset August 2, and
is always observed by Franciscan
churches with great reverence.
At st. Joseph's church large congre-
cations attended the various services
from early morning until late last
night. Rev. Raphael Fuhr, o. F. M,
the pastor, preached at all the masses,
explaining the meaning of the feast
of the day and the graces to be de-
rived therefrom.
Last night the feast closed at this
church with a solemn TIE Deum, at
which Father Raphael also preached.
At the Plaza church the day was OBJ
served in a similar manner. Father
Leo celebrated the high mass, at
which Father Norbert preached the
sermon. The day was marked by all
the old time ceremonies and brought
back to memory the days when the
Franciscans entered Los Angeles, Au-
gust 2, and named what is now the
Los Angeles river under the soft
sounding name of Portiuncula. The
river was known by that name until
the coming of the Americans, who, un-
able to master the name sufficiently
for every day use, changed the title
to that now in use.

CHILDTs FRIEND AT COUNTY
HOSPITAL PASSES AWAY

Many of the patients at the hospital
are mourning over the death of G. H.
Smith. who died yesterday morning. He
was an old soldier and a member of
the regiment that made the famous
charge Of Bull Run during the early
part of the Civil War. The only ad-
dress he gave the hospital authorities
was one in New York city.
Mr.. Smith was in the habit of going
around the wards during the after
Moons and evenings and would sit for
hours by the side of some little boy
and tell him stories of the war. It
soon became regular thing for some
youngster to ask for "Uncle Smith,"
and the news of his death has dam
pened the spirits of more than one of
his little "nephews."

WINTERS GROWS WORSE WHEN
VISITED AT THE HOSPITAL

John Winters, formerly prize fight
er of some note in the east, was taken
to the detention ward for the insane
at the county hospital Saturday night.
When taken to the hospital he was
violent and was placed in one of the
cells. Yesterday some friends visited
him and their visit evidently had a
bad effect, for hardly had they left
before he became very violent.
1t took the combined efforts Of four
deputy sheriffs to overpower him, but
before they did Winters had smashed
an iron bed and his screams could be
heard all over the grounds. He was
picked up by an officer in Watts Satur-
day afternoon and lodged in Jail at
that place, but as soon as 1t was
found that he was mentally deranged
he was taken to the county hospital.

YOUTH NEARLY LOSES HIS
LIFE AT BIMINl BATHS
Sinks When Pushed Into Deep Water,
Presumably from Fatigue, but
Diver Thinks He
Struck Him

Edward Hoffman, II years old, of
TIC North High street, came near los
ing his life yesterday afternoon at
Bimini baths. Hoffman says that after
long swim, when he was tired out.
another boy pushed him off the edge
into deep water, and that is all he re-
members.
The baths were well filled at the
time with the usual Sunday bathers,
several of whom went to the boys as
sistance. He was brought up from the
bottom and carried to his room, and
later to the Turkish baths, where e.
w. Murch, masseur, worked over him
for three-quarters of an hour. He was
finally brough back to consciousness,
but his condition was still considered
so serious that the receiving hospital
was notified and he was taken there.
A. M. Gunnett, foreman of the baths,
said he found the boy sick in his room
and helped carry him to the Turkish
baths. He declared a man came to
him with a scratch on his face who
said he had dived into a boy, and Hoff-
man might have been the one.
Titano Arrelano, who lives at the
same address and was witness OF the
affair, said Hoffman was pushed in.
After an hours rest and treatment at
the receiving hospital the boy was able
to go home.

Known in United States and
France, Passes Away at
County Hospital

Prof. James H. Waldo died yester-
day morning at the county hospital
from paralysis. He was the author of
many books dealing with the beautify-
ing of the face, and is said to have
had a large clientele throughout the
United States and France, consisting
of many of the most noted women of
both countries. Although 68 years of
age, the officials of the county hospi-
tai said he retained his memory to the
last and was ever the polished, suave
and educated man of letters that had
been noted in two countries.
He was a native of Ohio and had
been spending the winter in Los An
geles. This was the second time he
had been confined to the county hospi-
tal having been taken with an attack
of paralysis last January while walk

ficiently to be removed to his home q
few days afterward, but was again at

One of the most touching scenes that
has been witnessed at the hospital
for a long time was the reunion yes
terday of an old couple who had been
confined in separate wards at the hos
pital for about a month. For many
days they have begged the nurses to
allow them to visit each other, put

doctors.
Yesterday, however, arrangements
were made, and with some difficulty
the old man was taken upstairs. They

INTERESTING SURGERY.
Unusual Condition, Caused by Nature
Freak, Found in Woman's Case.

Unusual Condition, Caused by Nature
Freak, Found in Woman's Case.
A most interesting surgical operation
was performed at st. Thomas hospital
Friday by local surgeons. who removed
a dermoid tumor from Mrs. Elmer En-
field, wife of a farmer living four miles
northeast of Green Mountain. The
cases of dermoids are rare, and only
about once in a year in the largest
hospitals of the country are the cases
met with. This is the first one that
has ever been seen at the hospital
here, altho the sisters in charge had
seen them in their practice in other
hospitals, and the surgeons had met
them DIN hospitals and clinics.
The tumor. which was the size Of
a cocoanut, was located in the pelvic
region. 1t was caused by a freak of
nature-a congenital displacement. In
the makeup of the human body, when
in an embryonic state, some matrix
became misplaced. This matrix -four
ishes turnout life, and results often
times in growing teeth or hair, and
sometimes both, in portions of the body
where both substances are entirely for
eign.
In Mrs. Enfeld's case an embryonic
matrix that should have formed a
small portion Of the scalp, became mis-
placed, and lodged in the pelvic region.
There it has rested and grown, thru
the twenty-eight years of the wom-
ans life, enclosed by nature in a sack
in an effort to rectify the mistake it
had made All these years this piece
of scalp has been nurtured by the oils
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-02-29

and secretions that ordinarily nourish
the scalp. In recent years the tumor
has been growing more rapidly and
while the woman was not In any Inn
mediate danger, the larger the tumor
grew. the harder task 1t would be to
remove 1t.
This misplaced matrix that formed
scalp had grown to be about an men
i'm diameter, and 1t contained as many
hairs as wonld grow on that much
scalp. These hairs, wound. tangled
and masscd, We're. when removed, be-
tween three and four feet in length,
and sufficient to make good sized
braid. AS a further evidence or the
perfect development Of the scalp, tiny
Wen, caused by the stoppagc of a Sc
baceous gland. was found on this inch
surface Of scadp. The wen was about
the size of u hazel nut.
