MORE CLEAR WEATHER
PROMISED FOR TODAY
Light Frost in Exposed Places Also
Looked for by Forecaster VOL
Iaber-Rainy Season Not
Yet Ended

'I look for indications of frost in
exposed places Friday morning" said
A. B. Wollaber, the weather forecaster,
yesterday. This present cold, bracing
wind from the ocean is a sort of 'chas
err after the big storm which has been
central over the country bet.,een the
Rockies and the Mississippi. With it's
withdrawal has come the inpouring of
this wind from the sea, which cools
things considerably for Los Angeles.
LAS far as the clear weather being
permanent is concerned, the rainy sea-
son has not rung down the curtain by
any means.
March has a higher average and
normal rainfall than either January or
February. So the rain has not ceased
for the season of 1908 yet, it is pretty
safe to say; although long range fore
casts are not safe, since the unexpect-
ed always happens But there will be
clear weather in Los Angeles and vi
cinity for the next thirty-six hours, in
all probability"

CHAPEL CAR WORK
THEME OF LECTURE
"UNCLE BOSTON" SAYS CRITIC
DID INJUSTICE
Southern Pacific Superintendent, He
Says, Once Wished His Own
Coach Was Kept as
Clean

"Uncle Boston" w. Smith. general
manager of the famous chapel car
work, is in Los Angeles and will lee
ture tonight at Berean hall. Auditori-
um building, on 1.-The Gospel on
Wheels; or the Chapel Car Work"
THAT our cars are we'll kept" said
Uncle Boston when seen yesterday
at the Watauga, where he is staying,
'is proven by what Julius Krutt-
schnitt said one time.
'Kruttschnitt is now superintendent
of transportation and maintenance of
way for the Southern Pacific. But at
the time 1 mention he was general
manager of that road.
Zone of our cars, Emanuel, was in
the yards here at Los Angeles, and
man came on board and asked ques-
tions of our missionary in charge re-
garding the work. The latter answered
everything courteously, when finally
the visitor said:
Sc" I wish my private car were kept as
neatly as this
'Then he introduced himself as the
general manager of the road.
"One injustice has been done our
chapel car work by William e. Curtis,
the correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord Herald, who said in one of his
widely read letters to that paper that
Colgate Hoyt paid for the running ex-
penses of these cars out of his mil
lions.
Supported by Free Will
consequently, people think that we
do not need contributions. But this
chapel car work is not supported by
any wealthy man or company of men,
1t depends wholly upon the free-will
offerings of churches, Sunday schools
and individuals.
THE remark of the Rev. Wayland
Hoyt, D. D., to his railroad brother,
Colgate Hoyt, with whom he rode in
his private car, to the effect that nu-
merous little railroad towns were with
out religious services, and suggesting
the building of a missionary car to
visit such places, was the start of the
work A Chapel Car syndicate was
launched in Wall street, New York
city, and chapel car No. 1 was built
and named 'Evangel' This was pre-
sented to the American Baptist Publl-
cation society. and dedicoted in 1871
1t is in service in the south.
I'm addition there are Emanuel, Glad
Tidtngs, Good viii, Messenger of
Peace, and Herald of Hope, the last
built by young men.
THE railroads show uniform courte-
sy to u.s." said Uncle Boston" The
railroad managers always appreciate
the good done the communities visited
by our cars.
Coupled on Any Train
eve are coupled on to any train go
ing to the point where we wish to hold
meetings, even on freight trains, and
side tracked there by the management.
We reach places without churches,
have them organized, and also aid
railroad men in the Christian life.''

CHINESE RELEASED ON

In accordance with instructions re-
ceived from the department Of Justice
Lee Shau, a Chinese, who it is alleged
smuggled himself across the Mexican
line into the United States about a
year ago, was last night released on his
own recognizance.
Lee is big Chinese, quiet in man
ners and apparently devoid of knoWI-
edge of English. He is looking sick,
and The authorities believe he will re-
cover his health after he has been out

TWINE ECONOMY.

One Ball Served a Busy Postal EN-
ployee Seven Years.
Though 1t handles some thousand
million dollars a year, the United
States government is not unapprecia'
tive Of the value Of small things, such.
for example, as piece Of secondhand
Irvine. Perhaps the ordinary ragpick'
er wouldn't regard it as a good bush
ness principle TO stoop for a discarded
twelve inch string when he Is hurry
ing through the city at dawn In Keen
competition with all classes OF rag
pickers for what there is Of CONNER
cial value in the ash barrels and scrap
beaps. But that may be due wholly
to his inability TO fOresee some or the
future possibilities in the practice OF
noticing such trivial things. Similarly
II may be that a certain government
employee who attached himself to the
New England division of the United
States railway mail service six or
seven years ago did not pin much faith
In little dingy string pieces, for he was
some grades above the trained rag
picker in the social scale. Yet he
stopped to pick up such string pieces as
came under his observation in the or
binary routine of his business. and it
resulted in the bestowal upon him Of
distinction which has not come to his
companions of less economical tenden-
cies. How much it counts toward his
promotion in the service is problemat-
ical, but it has carried his name and
fame with favorable comments to the
attention Of the United States poStof-
fee authorities, says the Boston Tran
script.
When this man reaches the next step
up and his salary is increased accord
ingly, he will have some difficulty in
dissociating his luck from the little
string pieces he has picked up in his
years Of service. and his mind may be
coached by a little justified pride in the
following official paragraph clipped
from the most prominent position In
a recent general order Of the New Eng
land division of the United States rail-
way mail service, over tine signature
Of his superintendent:
"a clerk in this division. appointed

been furnished with one ball OF Irvine.
has never made a requisition for an
additional supply, having reused the
Irvine which he saved from packages

HER MESSAGE.

After a bitter family quarrel the hus
band had declared that he wouldn't

RUSTIN MYSTERY
STILL UNSOLvED
OMAHA WOMAN Is ARRESTED
AS SUSPECT
WAS LAST PERSON WITH DOCTOR
BEFORE SLAYlNG
Theory of Suicide Entirely Abandoned
and Police Actively Engaged In
Attempt to Apprehend
Assassin
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
OMAHA, Sept. 4.-This afternoon the
police arrested Miss Leona Bonnell, or
Mrs. A. Rice, and will detain her at the
city jail in connection with the murder
at midnight on Tuesday last of DR..
Fred w. Rustin.
No charge was placed against the
woman, but she has admitted she was
the last person in the company OF the
physician before he reached his nome
on the fatal night, and she will be held
for developments.
In a final statement Miss Bonnell told
the chief of police that she accompanied
DR.. Rustin to within two blocks of his
home after midnight on Tuesday.
Miss Bonnell today stated her rela-
tionship with Mrs. A. Rice and thal
her parents and husband live in Des
Moines. She has not lived with her
husband for some time, but is not di-
vorced She said her acquaintance with
DR.. Rustin extended over several
months, but that she had known him
only as patient
The members of the coroner's jury
went to the Rustin home today and
viewed the remains and the surround
ings at the Rustin home.
They will hold an inquest Tuesday,
when Mrs. Rustin, Mrs. Rice and sew
erai other witnesses will be called upon
to testify.
Chief Donahue today admitted that
the suicide theory was no longer being
considered, and said the entire energy
of the police department had been en-
listed in the work of tracing the MUIR
derer.
Companies that carried insurance on
the life of Rustin have taken hand in
the investigation, and several private
detectives are at work on the case.

.ENTERPRISING THIEF
HAS EXPRESSMAN DO
Ills WORK FOR HIM
BY Telephone Orders Teamster to Go
and Get WagonIoad Of Gas Pipe,
Which Clever Burglar
Later Sells

"Ting-a-ling," rang the telephone in
the office of an express wagon driver
two days ago. "Go to j. A. Winans'
place, near the Annandale golf links,
and get a wagonload of gas pipe.
Bring it to the vacant lot at Tenth and
Los Angeles streets and dump it there
You will get your pay at saloon on
the corner"
This was the order given the driver
and he hurried forth, for the golf links
are located near Garvanza, and the
long distance meant a corresponding
increase in rates for hauling. The driver
dumped his load at the designated
place, but could find no saloon and,
mystified, returned to his home.
Winans later discovered that some
person had stolen his pipe and placed
"a detective on the case. This man
learned Of the express drivers labor
and the latter told him where the pipe
could be found. But it wasn't there.
And a further hunt disclosed the fact
that it had been hauled away by a
dealer in old iron, to whom 1t was sold
by the enterprising man at the other
end of the telephone.
Then the express driver was arrested
and taken before Justice Stephens,
where judgment was rendered against
him in the sum of ST. Meanwhile the
man who invented the schema of "You
do the embezzling; I take the pro-
ceeds" is still at large.
