SPEEDING AUTO
HURLS OLD MAN
TO Ills DEATH
ENGINEER RUN OVER AND
FATALLY HURT
POLICE SEEK RECKLESS MOTOR
IsT, WHO FLED
George B. MendenhaII, Engineer, Run
Down by Car, Dies Without
Regaining Conscious
ness

George B. Mendenhall, aged go, an
engineer, living at 614 East Twenty
ninth street, was run over and fatally
injured by an automobile driven at
high rate of speed at Twenty-eighth
and San Pedro streets shortly after 8
o'clock yesterday evening. He died
three hours later at the Angelus hos
pital without regaining consciousness.
The unfortunate man was walking
west across San Pedro street when an
automobile approached, coming south
The car struck the old man squarely
and knocked him to the pavement, and
without attempting to ascertain the ex-
tent of the mans injuries the driver
threw on the high gear and disap-
peared dowl the street in cloud Of
dust.
w. H. Smith of 1860 East Thirty
fourth street was driving a team near
where the accident occurred and was
an eye witness. He declares that the
driver of the automobile made no eff
fort to avoid striking the old man, but
ran directly over him without even
blowing a horn or giving a signal of
any kind.
"As soon as 1 saw the machine strike
him." said Smith, II jumped from my
wagon and hurried to his assistance. I
lifted up his head and loosened his
shirt. 1 looked after the automobile,
but it was four blocks away by the
time I alighted from my wagon. The
driver put on all speed and Whirled
rapidly away"
Skull Fractured
Mendenha1I was taken TO the receiX-
ing hospital, where Police Surgeon
Wiley found he had sustained basal
fracture of the skull. The unfortunate
man was bleeding from the ears, nose
and mouth and slightly bruised about
the body.
The injured mans daughter Miss
Mary Mendenhall, music teacher,
was notified of the accident and she
hurried to the receiving hospital, and
after a consultation with physician
who accompanied her, decided to have
her father removed to the Angelus
hospital.
Patrolman Jackson of the University
sub-station has the numbers of two
automobiles said to have been seen
going at a high rate of speed on San
Pedro street about the time of the ac-
cident Both Numbers are thought to
be fictitious. One number, 1234S, is reg
istered under the name of A. H. Sad
ler, 26 North Raymond street. Pasa-
dena. and the other, 14341, is registered
as belonging to Leon Sloss, San Fran
cisco. It is thought if these numbers
were correct the persons driving the
machines are displaying the wrong
numbers.

cars were unsuccessful up to late

DOG ORDINANCE
BEING DRAFTED
CITY COUNCIL UNAVOIDABLE Y
DELAYS ACTION
New Measure Which Undoubtedly
Will Be Passed Next Week Con-
taIns Great Reforms for
Present System

Confusion in getting a copy of the
Pasadena ordinance providing for the
care of dogs by the S. P. C. A. to City
Attorney Hewitt delayed the passage of
a similar ordinance by the city council
yesterday.
The city attorney has been instruct
ed to prepare an ordinance along the
lines of the demands made by $4,000
petitioners and also contract with
the S. F. c. A.
1t was expected he. would have these
documents ready for passage by the
council yesterday, and on this supposi-
tion hundreds of the petitioners, rep
resenting the best class of residents of
Los Angeles, were present at the meet
ing yesterday.
Mrs. l.. A. Giese, who has been fore
most in the work of improving the sys-
tenn of dog catching, presented petit
ton bearing 14,000 signatures of Los
Angeles residents, asking for the abo-
lition of the crude methods now prac-
ticed and for the establishment of what
is known as the Rochester-Pasadena
system.
Punish. Owner, Not Dog
Under this system the owner OF an
unlicensed uOS is puHlSlleu Ny pSAhS
fined for failing to provide license
for his dog.
The dog is not impounded, unless he
is absolutely friendless and no one
claims him.
If no owner is found for the dog he
| Is destroyed in a humane manner.
In other cities where the system is
we'll established the s. P. G. A. reports
it has more calls for dogs than 1t can
supply and the city treasury receives
more money from dog licenses than
under any other system.
When the owner of an unlicensed dog
is fined the s. p. G. A. receives a GER
tain proportion of the money and this
keeps the organization on the look
out for unlicensed dogs.
1t is assured the council will pass the
ordinance for the Rochester system
when it is presented by the city attor-
ney at the next meeting, and Mr..
Hewitt has assured that body it Will
be ready.
Meanwhile the monster petition is in
the hands of the special committee
having charge of the matter and gives
this committee a good understanding OF
what the people want.

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces or the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing it's work.
