Two shots were fired by somebody In crowd just after the negro passed into Fourth ave- nue. The crowd was in the street on Fourth avenue short distance from Twenty-first street, and about even with the end of the brick house on the cor ner The crowd was about 60 or 70 feet behind the negro who was crossing the street. He ran down the sidewalk for a few feet, then got back out in the street and ran back on the sidewalk and between the two houses. I couldn't tell whether the negro was handcuffed or not. He was brought out in four or five min utes and lay down on the ground. 1 don't know who shot. The crowd was made up of whites and blacks and the

GIVES HIS COAT TO
AID SUFFERING MAN
IDLE CARPENTER TOUCHED BY
STRANGERS CONDITION
Although Greatly In Need, Unnamed
Hero Wishes to Share His All
with the Poor of Los
Angeles

How many well-to-do men would
take the coats off their backs and give
them to those more needy?
A touching demonstration of the
brotherhood of man and the claims OF
one man upon another was made last
night in the "free soup line" on Temple
street, corner of Broadway.
A once prosperous carpenter, who
has been touched by the hand OF mis-
fortune and who has been out of en-
ployment some time, seeing man who
needed q coat more than he did, took
his own off and gave it to him, saying
he could get along without 1t.
This generous individual, who has a
wife and family and who daily nears
the point where he will not have funds
to purchase food for his little ones
gave "a cents to help the work along
last night. Mrs. Frances Helen Fish,
who has charge of the work at that
point, gently refused the money. say
ing that he needed it to share with his
family. To this the hero, who must
remain unnamed to the public, said
that as long as he had anything he
wanted to help the fellows who were
down and out.
Nightly, and with little variation. the
good work goes on in feeding the I'M
employed men. These men gather cold
and hungry and go away warmed and
refreshed with substantial soup and
bread and CHEEKY word.
Not only food but to many of the
most needy beds are furnished, and in
many cases clothing and shoes are also
given to these men. tired out with their
walking in search for work.

MERCHANTS ASK
MARINES TO MARCH
MAYOR WILL REFER REQUEs-
TO ADMIRAL
Dewey's Acceptance Regarded a
Final, and Rousing Reception
WlII'Be Given Hero of
Manila Bay

Pressure is being brought to bear
on Mayor Harper, chairman of the
battleship fleet reception committee, to
ask Admiral Evans that he permit the
sailors to give a land parade over the
principal business streets of Los Ange-
les.
The argument is used that thousands
will thereby see the men who otherwise
could not get the opportunity. The pa
rade would not last more than half
hour, yet would in that time traverse
perhaps two miles of thorouGhfares.
1t would particularly give boys and
girls an opportunity to have their pat
riotism fired.
The mayor is inclined to accede and
will have talk with Admiral Evans
by wireless or otherwise before the
| fleet leaves Magdalena bay.
| Merchants and business men favor
the idea because it will shift the at
traction to the center of Los Angeles
rather than to the beaches and Chutes
| park alone.
The telegram from Admiral Dewey
stating that should he visit the coast
at the time of the fleets arrival he
would be glad to accept the Los Ange-
les invitation Is regarded as an accept
ance by the committee, as the admiral
has practically decided to go to San
Francisco to review the Ships In obedi-
ence to a previous invitation.

SUSPEND STUDENTS
FOR INT OXICA7IOh
Student Body Greatly Excited as Re-
suit of Action of New Commit
tee-Sure II Means
Business
Py Associated Press.

Ry Associated Press.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 20.
The crusade against drinking claimed
its first victims today when the new
committee ON student affairs an
nounced that two students had been
indefinitely suspended for appearing
on the quadrangle in an intoxicated
condition.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the former committee on
February 5, before any resolutions
against drinking had been passed and
was referred by them to Prof. Clark S
committee upon their resignation.
Chairman Clark of the new commit
tee denies that this is post facto''
action and in a lengthy statement to
the Daily Palo Alto says the matter
came to them as unfinished business
and that there are several other mat
ters not settled by the old committee
with which he VIII deal.
1t is generally understood the sus-
pended students are frat men and
prominent in college affairs.
The case is characterized by Clark
as one of noticeable drunkenness
rather than fragrant intoxication.' "
The student body is in a state of great
excitement on account of the commit
tees action and is now sure the new
committee means business.

NEW YORK CELLARS
FLOODED BY RAIN
Gothsmites Experience Some of the
Most Disagreeable Winter
Weather They Have
Known

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. Follower temper
allure this morning has brought meas
urable relief to New Workers. from a
spell of about as disagreeable weather
as has fallen to their lot in years
The trouble started in yesterday
early snowfall, and became decidedly
accumulated when a rise in tempera-
ture of ten degrees about noon brought
on a rain that of itself was sufficient
to flood the streets, and on top of the
snowfall produced conditions that
made the city's streets for several
hours resembled network of canals.
Cellars were flooded by the hum
dreds water, kept out of the sewers
by dams of combined snow and mud,
overlooked the sidewalks in innumera-
bic places and made them impossible.
At most points 1t was impossible even
to board a trolley car without thor
ough wetting, and carriages were at a
premium.
BY midnight conditions were consid-
erably relieved, the rain having ceased
early in the evening, after having
washed away a goodly proportion of
the snowfall. According to Commits
sioner Crowell of the street cleaning
department the rain has probably
saved the city a bill of about 100000
for snow removal, as the contractors
were not called out.

AMERICAN EXPERT SAYS
ARKANSAS HAS GEMS
Declares $40 Diamonds Have Been
Found Near Murfreesboro and
They Are Without Doubt
Genuine

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-That real di-
Almonds have been found in Arkansas
was the statement made In a paper
read by George F. Kunz of New York,
one of the foremost American experts
on precious stones, before the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining Engineers yes
terday.
Kunz stated that about 140 diamonds
had been found near Murfreesboro,
Ark, and that they were without
doubt the genuine product of the coun-
try. He said:
From the 200 karats available for
examination, it appears that the Ar
kansas area compares favorably with
most Of those in South Africa. Their
average size Is fairly good, though SO
far none larger than 6.5 karats have
been found. There Is a large proper
ton of white stones, for the most part
of a high grade in brilliancy and free
dom from flaws. Some of the yellow
ones are of exceptional quality"
He pointed out that these diamond
finds are isolated and that no credence
should be given to report that a con-
tinuation of the vein had been found.
There is no vein to begin with, he
said.

Wonen's Clubs

NLUB women all over Southern Cali
fornia will be interested in the
action of the council of presidents
of the Los Angeles district yesterday
morning at the called meeting held at
the rooms of the Business Woman's
association at 313 West Third street
when the project of q registration
bureau of Los Angeles district received
unanimous and enthusiastic indorse-
ment, and 1t was voted the sense of the
meeting that the bureau be established
without delay.
This vote takes the project, which
until now has been tentative, out of the
hands of the committee appointed at
the Monrovia meeting, to place be-
fore the clubs of the district and gives
it dignity as a recognized phrase of
district work.
Through the courtesy of the officers
of the Columbia Trust company and
the personal interest of Mrs. Pearl
Adams Spaulding, desk room has been
offered the bureau in the handsomely
appointed information department of
the Columbia Trust company at 313
West Third street, and this courtesy
was accepted by the council, and head
quarters will be arranged there as soon
as a clerk can be engaged and other
preliminary work done.
The meeting was presided over by
District. President Mrs. Clarence Col
Inns Porter and there were between
thirty-five and forty club presidents
from Compton, Ontario, Azusa and
other Southern California towns, as
well as the executive heads of the FRI
day Morning club, the Ebell club, the
Wednesday Morning club, the Cosmos
and other city organizations.
The committee which had the matter
in charge and which is to be thanked
for its success is composed of Mrs.
Cora A. Lewis, Mrs. r. ]. Waters, Mrs.
Frank z. Prior and Mrs. Peck of
Compton.
The further success of the project
deends on the pennies of the clubs of
the district. but this will mean under
81 a month for each club, and this
amount was pledged by every club pres
ident at the meeting.
This is the first meeting of the presi-
dents council ever called, but after
the business was disposed of 1t was
suggested that another be called, and
an Invitation from the president of the
Crescent Bay Woman's club was ac-
cepted for an indefinite date next sum-
mer, the exact date to be decided later.
