FEAR OF BETRAYER
DRIVES GIRL TO DEED
Pretty Young Woman Who Tried to
XIII Herself Believed to Have
Been in a State of
Terror

Fear that her alleged betrayer, EDWIN
Corey, might be freed from his con-
finement in San Quentin prison IS be-
lieved to have been the cause for Hor-
tense Pasqualina's attempt to commit
suicide Monday evening. Corey re-
eeiyed a sentence of five years in state
prison following his trial before Judge
James in March last, and on Monday
word reached Los Angeles that the su-
prene court had granted new trial on
the ground of defective instructions.
This news, 1t is believed, reached the
ears of the 16-year-old girl whom Co
rev is said to have induced to accom-
pany him to Pasadena in February.
Her experience at that time, 1t was
said by officers of the detention home
Yesterday, caused a mental breakdown,
and she has since labored under many
hallucinations, principal among them
being a fear that some person would
injure her and a belief that she was
without friends. This condition was
aggravated during the time of Corey 8
trial, when she was subjected to rigid
examination by Corey's attorney of the
most searching nature.
The girl was placed in the care of the
detention officers at that time and ev-
erything possible was done to make
her forget her troubles. It is expected
she will again enter the detention home

TBy Associated Press. !

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 15.-The first
double fatality to be charged to the
construction of the Michigan Central
tunnel under the Detroit river occurred
early today In shaft No. 4 of the Ca
madam approach to the tunnel, when
two men were suffocated by smoke
from burning timbers and tar paper in
the shaft, and two others were tenn
porarily overcome by smoke while at
tempting to enter the shaft in res
cue party.

W. R. KIMBALL, superintendent of
shafts.
BERT JOHNSON, a carpenter.
In the hospital are Bert Schuman,
Shaft foreman; Charles Cakebread,
Windsor City, foreman.
The blaze was confined to the timbers
constituting the false work inside the
cement wall.
About 200 men were working in the
tunnel when the fire broke out and
there was a panic when the alarm was
given. 1t was necessary to pass men
slowly through the airlock, as they
had been working under air pressure.
All the men were reported checked
out of the shaft by the timekeeper, and
Kimball and Johnson apparently lost
their lives through returning into the
shaft to look for men who might pos
sibly have been left behind.

NIGHT LAW SCHOOL WILL
BE STARTED BY COLLEGE
University of California Now Occupies
Nearly All Fifth Floor of Pacific
Mutual Building with
Glasses

The first night school of the Univer--
sitv of Southern California college OF
law will open on the fifth floor of the
Pacific Mutual building, Third and Hill
streets, tomorrow evening, with an ex-
tremely encouraging enrolment. This
important feature of law education in
a large city has not been feasible here
tofore, but the faculty intends to make
it a leading part of the school work.
Among law schools elsewhere the
night classes have come to be regarded
as of even greater Importance than the
day instruction, and there is every in
dication that this will be the case in
Los Angeles. instruction will be essen
TALLY UP to the standard of the day
school, and the course is being planned
so that it will cover eventually the
three years course. 1t will cover con-
tracts, elementary law, criminal law,
baiIments and torts, and the school will
be open five nights of the week. Frank
r. Willis, candidate for the superior
court, is a member Of the faculty.
The u. S. c. law school now uses
nearly~ all the fifth floor of the Pacific
Mutual building, and all it's facilities
will be utilized in the night school.
These have been added TO until the
school is now as well equipped as are
any in the west.

DR.. McClanahan last saw his brother
in Illinois, in the early seventies. Iney
drifted apart and he heard nothing
more from him until he received
newspaper telling of the death. lie
came to this city as a result.
While the marks on the body corre-
spond to those he knew to exist upon
his brothers body, DR.. McClanahan Is
not positive of the identity and Will
remain here and make further investi-
cations. He is registered at the NaticK
house, where the man supposed TO pe
his brother died.
Another man in Los Angeles, how
ever, has asserted that the dead man
lived in Pennington, Mo-, and that ne
has q sister there. DR.. McClanahan
telegfaphed to Pennington but re-
ceived no reply. He also wired to J.
D. Lowry of Garden, Ore, for informa

were letters from Lowry, which started

The two brothers were separated
thirty years ago in Illinois. From
there the doctor moved to Kansas, and

The Kansas man wrote to George

[Rx Associated Press

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Sheath effects
have invaded the male wardrobe.
Narrow clinging coats, guaranteed to
adhere closely to the form of man and
impart the same svelte appearance af-
fected by the other sex, will be "the
thing this fall.
The fact was brought out yesterday
at the opening of the American style
and fashion show at 1S5 Dearborn
street.
Numerous examples in mems apparel
were on display, sent from all parts OF
the country for the exhibition.
One of the noticeable 'sheaths" was
an exhibit from Pittsburg. 1t was a
business coat. Cut narrow about the
hips and fastened by "cute cloth but
TONS" it slopes upward in a delicate
curve, fitting snugly at the shoulders
and cut low in front.
The "invisible braid" running along
the edge of the lapel and cuffs was de-

Another sheath" coat was disclosed
In the Honeymoon. This coat is double
breasted and buttons almost under the
sleeve on the left side. AS the wallet
pocket is on the right inside, 1t Is
declared to be almost impossible to
reach.
Overcoats for this fall and winter
seem to follow the same line.

PRINCESS BROGLIO
IN SAD IMBROGLIO
CALIFORNIA WIFE OF NOBLE
MAN DESERTED
Matrimonial Venture with French
ArIstocrat of Past HymeneaI
TrlbuIations Proves Sorry
Fiasco

PARIS, Sept. 15.-Prince Robert de
Broglio, whose matrimonial tribula-
tions in 1906 and 1907 were ventilated
in France and the United States, has
abandoned his wife and child, and his
lawyers have announced the intention
of the prince to bring an action for
divorce on the ground of "unfaithful
ness
The Princess de Broglio is an Amer
lean woman. Her maiden name was
Estella Alexander, and she lived in San
Francisco. She was the divorced wife
of Sidney d. Belt when she married
the prince in Chicago in 1906.
The princes father was opposed to
the union and he succeeded in having
the Chicago marriage declared void by
a French court.
Following this action the prince re-
married Miss Alexander under the
French law. When the princess was
seen at her home today she was in
te-.sely indignant at what she charac-
terrified as the "cruel and cowardly
act' of her husband. She said the
charge of unfaithfulness was baseless
and that 1t had been simply trumped
up by the prince, who doubtless wanted
to rid himself of his American wife
for the purpose of marrying another
woman or of effecting a reconciliation
with his family.

G EDALIA, Mo-, Sept. 15.-Six per-
~ sons were killed and thirty In
~ iured, four of whom are not ex-
pected to live, as the result of an ex-
plosion of a car of black powder at
windsor near here at 10:15 o'clock this
morning. The explosion was caused by
John Wesley, a negro, who threw. a
lighted match into a pile of powder
which had spilled from broken keg
OF the explosive.
For his prank Wesley paid the PEN
atty with his life, his body being nor
ribly mutilated.
Frederick Yakes, agent OF the NJ, k.
& T., was terribly mangled and soon
died.
Dee Hall died from his injuries on
the way to the hospital, and laborer
and a tramp whose identity are un-
known also died later, making the
total fatalities six.
Agent Yakes and Hall were the most
horribly manned, though many others
received broken bones and were ter
ribly lacerated.
usual crowd commonly found about
the railroad station of a small town
at train time, some of them draymen
and depot employees, there on business,
a few passengers bound for nearby
towns, and many others who had come
to see theftrain come In
No Chance TO Escape
The explosion occurred without
warning and the unfortunates had no
time to escape. The explosion was OF
such force that it tore great hole in
the ground where the car had stood
and hurled pieces of the wrecked car
and the platform in all directions.
The town was shaken as If by an
earthquake and the explosion was
heard for a radius of fifty miles.
Most of the wreckage fortunately
was sent in the opposite direction
from the platform and depot, and to
this fact alone may be attributed the
small loss of life.
Unusual excitement followed the ex-
plosion, but as quickly as possible the
dead and dying were carried to nearby
houses and cared for.
The telegraph wires were snapped
by the concussion, cutting off COM
munication by that means with the
outside. For this reason the report
ing of the details was delayed. AS
soon as the neighboring towns were
apprfsed of the catastrophe aid was
sent in from half a dozen places.

INSPECT WORK
AT SAN PEDRO
lContInusd from para ono,


ton, where $4,000 public wharf will
be erected.
The channel is to be eighteen feet
deep at low tide and 100 feet wide al
the bottom.
This will accommodate lumber ves-
sells and coastwise steamers, and it is
expected that the coming session OF
congress will appropriate sum suf-
ficient to cover the cost of dredging the
entire basin as designated by the newly
established harbor lines. In that case
deep-water vessels may discharge at
Wilmington within two years.
Yesterdays trip had some bearing on
the coming litigation to win the tide
lands for the people.
The lands embraced in the tide land
patents were formerly part of the old
Rancho San Pedro, Spanish grant
recognized by Mexico and affirmed by
the United States. Later the Mexican
government granted to another the
Palos Yerdes ranch, adjoining the San
Pedro grant on the west.
The board of land commissioners con-
firmed the two ranchos, designating
the ocean as the south boundary. This
was afterward confirmed by the federal
court
When the ranches were surveyed In
1857 and 1853 by the United States and
survey patents were issued the sur
veyor general excluded the two basins
as navigable waters of the United
States, and the government in granting
patents reserved the harbors.
Later, by what is believed to be a.
misapplication OF the state act in re-
gard to swamp and overfiowed and tide
lands, the state sold about seven
eighths of the two basins as tide lands
at 81 per acre, on the theory that they
could be reclaimed for agricultural pur-
poses. This view is disputed by the
commission, and it's attorney will com
bat the invalidity of the patents based
upon an erroneous ruling.
It Is admitted that 1t is only Just to
pay the claimants the cost of their
lands, including interest.

for Hughes
fRy Associated Press. !

ROCHESTER,. N. Y, Sept. 15.-The
first session of the Democratic state
convention lasted less than an hour and
was devoted exclusively to the OPEN
ing address of former Judge Morgan ].
O'Brien, and to routine business and
resolutions.
Adjournment was taken at las p. m.
until 10 a. m. tomorrow, when the re-
ports of committees on resolutions and
contested seatsewill be received.
Justice O'Brien was literally APP
plauded throughout his brief address,
references to w. J. Bryan calling out
enthusiastic cheers.
A plea for harmony also was the sig
nal for jubilant demonstration. Upon
adjournment of the convention the
leaders returned to their tasks of Sc
lecting a candidate for governor and
in settling the perplexing MeCarren-
Murphy controversy.
Agreement Reached
Following former Justice O'Brien's
speech a satisfactory adjustment of diff
ficulties between the factions of the
four counties, in which the, contests
were centered In the convention hung
on a dead center of uncertainty today
until State Chairman Conners, Charles
and National Chairman Mack. acting
as a committee on harmony, took the
contested cases under advisement, and
after hearing from the representatives
of both sides brought harmony out of
what had been regarded as an un-
reasonable discord.
1t was regarded at headquarters to-
night that the settlement of the Nc
Carren cases mean that, pending the
election in November, neither Mr.. MUIR
ply nor Senator McCarren will seek to
pursue their warfare, and that each will
lend his aid to bringing about the sue
cess of the state and national tickets.
Factions withdrawn
In Kings county the -McCarren
delegates were withdrawn. The Mott
and Hefferman factions in Chautauqua
county were given seats in the conven-
ton with half a vote each.
The contests in Oneida and Herkimer
counties were withdrawn, leaving no
work for the committee on credentials
to do when it met tonight
National Chairman Mack was pleased
with the satisfactory results secured by
the harmony committee, as 1t paved the
way for an effective contest in the in
terest of the national ticket in this
state.
A conference of the leaders this
morning delayed the convention until
long past the hour set for assembling.
Large portraits of w. ]. Bryan were
conspicuous in the decorations, and
there was also a painting of John w.
Kern, the vice presidential nominee.
