Moving Picture for Medical Student,
In one of the New York hospitals
maving pictures have been made OF
epileptic patients, as well as OF per-
affected with locomotor ataxia.
This is following the example set in
Vienna, where moving pictures have
been made of celebrated surgeons per.
forming critical operations. The pur-
pose in both cases is of course, to en-.
able students and Practitioners to stu ly
the peculiarities of diseases and the
methods Of distinguished operators.

SAYS BOATS GREAT
SPEED WAS A MYTH
PURCHASER OF STOCK SUES
COMPANY
Declares Ability of Craft Was Mis-
represented and Now He
Asks for His Money
Back

Visions of boats running at higher
speed than the fastest railway train,
their peculiar construction causing
them to tear off the miles at the rate
of 100 an hour, is what induced R. w.
Davis to invest in the Marker Heav-
ner Navigation company of Arizona,
giving a deed for two lots, one in
Gardena and the other in Los Angeles,
as payment for stock.
Davis says he has discovered tho
possibilities of the speedy craft have
been misrepresented and yesterday
filed suit against the company and
its Los Angeles agent, d. w. letters.
to declare the transaction void.
The boat, says Davis, is best known
because of its hull, which is called rns
hydro 1t was represented to
him to be capable of a speed of
mile a minute and had already trav-
eled at a rate OF forty-five miles an
hour for eight hours. The company
also claimed to have orders sufficient
to keep the average ship yard busy
for at least year. Another factor in
favor of the vessel was, that it had an
actual displacement less than one
half Of any other boat of other models
and that there was saving of 50 per
cent in power applied. Davis says
he was also told that the design was
protected by patents in the United
States and Europe, except France and
Germany, which he says he has found
to be untrue, and also claims the boat
has not yet attained a speed of more
than thirty-five miles an hour.

CUCUMBER CONTEST
IN FULL SWING
SECRETARY VIRGINS OFFERS
TWO CASH PRIZES
East Whittier Woman Sends Specimen
Over Six Feet Long and Los
Angeles Growers Are
on the Qui Vive

Secretary Frank Virgins of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce has
started a cucumber contest. AT the
end of the season the grower of the
largest will get IS; the second 50.
The entry of a snake cucumber six
feet three and a half inches long,
weighing six and half pounds, yester-
day set the secretary's zeal afire.
The big cucumber was brought in
by J. D. Reid. 1t was grown by Mis-.
w. J. King on the Murphy ranch in
East Whittier and as soon as 1t was
exhibited yesterday it attracted atten-
ton.
All day visitors clamored around the
freak growth, measured it with tapes
and agreed that it was "whopper."
Besides the snake cucumber are two
others grown by Los Angeles young
lady, Laura Antonelli, of 1861 West
Twentieth street. These are of the
Japanese variety, one thirty-five and
a half inches long and the other not
quite as large.
A. L. Green of S3S East Twenty
seventh street says he has neighbor
who has a cucumber an inch longer
than this and Secretary Virgins d.
rected him to capture the specimen at
once.
Many of the prize exhibits of the
chamber have been sent up to Sacra-
mento state fair, where, according to
people are staring at them
open-mouthed.

SHOOTING AN ACCIDENT,
SAYS PRETTY SENORITA
Although Sweetheart of Man He Shot
Tries to Defend Him, Charles
Garcia Is Held for
Trial

Although Charles Garcia had as a
defender the pretty sweetheart of the
man whose three toes he had shot off
and Notwithstanding Dan 2. OHvera,
the wounded man, declared the shoot
ing was without malice, their state
ments were not sufficient to keep Gar
ella from the county Jail, where he
will remain until he appears in the
superior court to be tried on a charge
of assault with a deadly weapon.
The shooting took place at Calabasas
on August / when Garcia stopped, at
the home of Mona Varalarda, 10 years
old, and asked for a drink of water.
Charlie is not my sweetheart" said
the young woman, "and the shooting
was not on my account. 1t was Just
an accident. Charlie pointed the gun
at Dams foot, saying it was unloaded.
Then il went off. We are all friends
Olivera is a plumber living on Sam
tee street. He has been lying at the
hospital since the shooting and had
to be carried into Justice Pierce's court
room yesterday.
I'VE were playing with the gum"
said Olivera, when it was discharged
Garcia appeared grief-stricken and
helped me to take off the Shoe and
also brought me to the city. He had
been hunting rabbits and stopped at
the house on his way home"
Olivera's shoe, showing a jagged hole
where the shot entered, was exhib-
tied by the prosecution.

BURGLARS BLOW SAFE
IN FEED co. OFFICE
Fifty Dollars in Cash and Several
Checks Taken - Robbers
Leave No CleWs
Behind

Burglars blew open the safe in the
office of the Rosedale Transfer, Feed
and Fuel company, 1917 South Yer
mont avenue, early yesterday morning
and secured $50 in cash and several
checks amounting to $100.
Entrance was obtained by prying
open rear door. The men lost no time
in getting to work and did the job with
dispatch. They took every precaution
They poured nitroglycerin into the
crack around the outer door and into
the aperture made by knocking off the
combination dial; went into the feed
room and secured a number of sacks of
flour which they piled on top and
around the safe, set off the charge and
then gathered up the contents of the
safe and made their departure without
being disturbed or leaving any clew.
The explosion must have been ter
rife. The sacks of flour were torn to
the large outer door of the safe was
forced from it's hinges and lay on the
floor.
The robbery was discovered at 6
o'clock yesterday morning by Fleming
Franklin, senior member of the firm of
Franklin & Son, proprietors of the feed
yard, who stumbled over the wreckage
when he opened the office.
Two women living near by say they
heard whistling at about O'Clock, and
later heard muffled explosion.
The police were notified and are
working on the case. They say indica-
lions are that the job was done by
others than professionals, and think it
is the same gang that blew the safe
at the Aquarium bar, Eighth and Main
streets, Sunday night.

BELIEVED RELATIVES OF MRS.
cRESSEY WILL NOT CONTEST

From statements made by those
most likely to know, it is not believed
contest will be made when the will
of the late Mrs. Nellie E. Cressey,
who died August 81 comes up for
probate. Mrs. Cressey left the bulk
of her property to her husband, Cap
tain Frederick ]. Cressey, sums rang
ing from 800 to 5000 being left to
relatives in the east.
1t was believed a contest of the will
might be filed because of proceedings
in the courts a year and half ago,
when brothers of Mrs. Cressey' APP
piled for a guardianship of her person
and estate, on the ground that her
husband had induced her to place a
large amount of her property in his
name. AS result guardians were ap-
pointed, but later the order was va
Gated when Mrs. Cressey filed affidavits
showing she had recovered from a.
temporary arrangement and that there
was no foundation for the statements
made by her relatives

WOMAN ADMITS SHE
THRASHED HUSBAND
KNOCKED OUT TOOTH WHEN
HE DISOBEYED HER
Mrs. Myrtle coon's Objection to
Liquor Such That She Pun
ished Her Spouse for
lmbibng

Mrs. Myrtle Coon objected strenu-
ously when her husband brought
whisky into their home in Prescott,
Ariz., told him he could drink as much
as he pleased at the saloons, and when
he persisted in keeping the liquid on
the premises promptly knocked out one
of his teeth. The couple married in
1906, and separated in Los Angeles a
year later. Since then, she said, her
husband had given her but $4S for the

ance.

ments," she said. when the fleet was
at San Pedro wanted to see it, but he
was too busy to take me. The next
day found out he had been there him
self. When 1 told him about it he
struck me and handed him one back"
Her husband, she said, then packed
his trunk and left home. Frank Coon,
the husband, said his wife made so
much noise he could not sleep after his
nights work, that he had cooked two
meals to her one and gave her all his
money except what he used for car
fare
Judge Bordwell is still studying over
the conflicting statements of the couple
and will decide the case later.
The marital troubles of Ernest J.
hdnQd ana MOdJeSKa Hanna led TO
their separation two months ago, after
but four months time spent in each
others society. Yesterday they also
led TO the arrest of the husband on a
charge of threats to kill. Mrs. Hanna,
who is Is years old and lives with her
grandmother at Fifth and Crocker
streets, says her husband tried to cut
her throat with a pair of scissors on
July %, and has threatened her since
that time. He was arrested by Deputy
Constable ]. F. Corneau, arraigned be-
fore Justice Pierce and is now in the
county Jail unable to give bond for
$500. His examination will take place
in a few days.

The Los Angeles public library will
soon have the exclusive record of be-
ing the only large library that changed

WESTERN UNION ESCAPES
PAYMENT OF FRANCHISE TAX

Decisions in three cases fled in the
superior court by the Western Union
Telegraph company against the county
of Los Angeles, the county assessor,
p. w. Hopkins. and the city assessor,
Walter Mallard, were rendered yester-
day by Judge Hutton. the telegraph
company being a victor in each case.
The company sued to recover taxes
on its franchise for the years 1906, 1907
and 1908. claiming to hold a federal
franchise under a law passed by con-
gress in 1866, which gave it the right
TO occupy post roads throughout the
country. In the city's answer it was
admitted that the company had this
right, but that in occupying the streets
it could not place Instructions therein.
To overcome this a state franchise was
secured, permitting the company to
erect poles on Los Angeles street.
