MYSTERY IN POISON CASE
Is BEING INVESTIGATED
Diego Seized with Alarming
Illness After Eating
Midday Meal

SAN DIEGO, Sept IA mysterious
case of poisoning at the county hos
pital is being investigated. Three
hours after the MONDAY meal today
six inmates, named Kent, Paulsen,
Young, Scudder, King and Fister, We're
suddenly seized with alarming illness.
Four physicians worked over them
for hours and the stomach pump was
freely used. Tonight several of the
patients are still unconscious, but
there is hope that all will recover.
The cause of their illness is not
known. In some respects the symp-
toms resemble ptomaine poisoning. In
others they do not. A chemical anal
ysis of the contents of the stomachs of
the victims, evacuated by the stomach
pump is to be made. There is ru-
NOR that poison was purposely put in
the food of the patients, and color is
given to the report by the fact that
Sheriff Jennings and District Attorney
Kirby were hastily summoned to the
hospital and remained there for sew
eral hours making an investigation.

VICTIM OF AERoPLANE
WAS NATIVE CALIFORNIAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-Lieut.
Thomas e. Selfridge, u. S. A, who was
with Orville Wright in the flying ma
chine at the time of the accident and
who was so severely injured that death
resulted, was the son of f. A. Selfridge
of this city, 81 retired merchant. Lieut..
Selfridge received his appointment to
West Point from this state and hac
been stationed at the Preside here be
fore being sent to Washington, where
he was assigned for special duty with
the signal corps.
Lieut.. SeIfridge for years past has
devoted himself to a study of aeronau-
tics So deeply did he go into the sub
ject that the department decided to
detach him from his own branch of SER
vice in the artillery corps and assign
him to the work along that line which
the signal corps has undertaken. Lieut..
Selfridge was held by DR.. Bell. the spe-
cialist on air navigation, to be one ot
the best informed men in the country
on that subject, and the young officer
was at one time assigned by the war
department to assist DR.. Bell in his
work.
Lieut. Selfridge was a native of this
city, 26 years old and unmarried.

cause of the dangerous character of
his work.
Officers of the signal corps and other
enthusiasts at Fort Myer were inclined
to express the belief that today's ac-
cfdent was not due to a faulty prip-
ciple. but to a defect in the propeller,
which was made of spruce. One OF
the members of the signal corps who
had been conducting the Fort Myer
tests said:
'sThe resumption of the aeroplane
trials will depend on the length OF
time which it will take Mr.. Wright to
recover from his injuries This accl-
dent will of course hamper the possl-
bility of securing appropriations from
congress for the aeronautical work OF
the signal corps. The Wright BROTH
ers. however, have even more advanced
ideas in regard to air flights, and II
they continue their work it is very
probable that the effects of this one
accident will be overcome
Charles White of White & Middle
ton. Baltimore, mechanical expert
gave this description of the accident
to Messrs Wright and Selfridge:
Describes Accident
"The aeroplane was performing
beautifully for six or seven minutes
when suddenly one of the propellers
broke near the end. This caused the
machine to become so thoroughly out
of balance through centrifugal force as
to make it unmanageable. and it made
a dart to the ground while still under
the operation of the right propeller,
causing it to strike the ground with
a great deal more force that it would
have done by gravity.
81 do not feel that this is any serious
defect in the machinery, but merely
want of better construction in the pro-
pellers. Therefore l do not feel that
the machine should be cOndemned be-
yond &his point. 1 should imagine that
when Nthe machine made the dart for
the ground it fell at the rate of twenty
miles an hour. Wright and Selfridge
were not thrown out. The accident
was due entirely to the defective pro-
peller"

Legal proceedings of a definite char

aroused over the private sale by the

out the transaction between that body
and the Los Angeles Trust company
and James Fl. Adams g. Co. must be
discontinued pending the hearing of the
matter, which is set for September q
at 10 o'clock before Judge Hutton IN
department seven of the superior
court
The restraining order was issued by
Judge James at 2 o'clock yesterday on
the complaint of Herbert White and F.
G. Hentig, property owners of Los An
gels county, which was filed Wednes-
day.
The supervisors as a body andA in
dividually, the Los Angeles Trust COM
pany, James II. Adams & Co. and the
county of Los Angeles are named as
defendants in the complaint, and notice
to appear in court to show cause why
the order should not remain in force
was later in the day served on each.
The order issued by Judge James yes
terday is in part as follows:
Enjolns All Parties
1T is therefore ordered by me, the
judge of said superior court, that until
further orders in the premises, you,
said board of supervisors of the county

superior court, in department seven
thereof, on the 25th day of September.

order should not remain in force and

the plaintiffs complaint"
G. r. Patterson was the only mem-
Der of the supervisorial body at the
board room yesterday. When asked If
a special meeting of the board would
be called before Monday, the day set
for the regular meeting, he replied em-
phatically in the negative.
1t was evident that Patterson is re-
ceding from the position he took on ths
question several days ago. "If matters
had been allowed to go on without ap-
plication being made to the courts, "
he said, this trouble might have been
settled. But as the affair stands now
shall not use my influence to adjust
matters before arguments on the re-
straining order are heard"
