FURNISH FULL ESTIMATE
City Council Postpones Taking Action
in Matter Of Improvements at Park
Until Informed Of Their
Exact Cost


Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 10.-The city coun-
ell met this afternoon in a protracted
seseion with the directors of the Tour
nament of Roses association. No Off
cial announcement of the results of the
conference was made.
It was stated, however, that the tour
nament directors agreed to draw up an
estimate of the cost of making such
improvements at the park as they de-
sire. The council was in some doubt
as to what the exact cost would be,
and does not wish to be drawn into a
proposition which will involve unex-
pected expenditure.
President f. S. Allen of the. Tourna-
ment of Roses association is away on
a two-weeks trip to San Jose at pres
ent, but he agrees entirely with the
other directors as to the stand they
must take. They will give no tourna-
ment unless they can render justice to
the public.
The city council fully realizes the
strength of this position, and is equal
" anxious to be fair to the people. II
the estimates of the association prove
satisfactory a speedy agreement may
be hoped for.

stand taken by a Los Angeles resident,
who refuses to allow two 5-months-old
babies now in his keeping to be added
to the Long Beach PHYSICIANS cosmo-
politan outfit.
The Los Angeles man is in charge of
an establishment at Twenty-fourth
street and Griffin avenue, where chill
dren are kept until good homes are
found for them. DIR. Schultz recently
visited the establishment and decided
he would like to take over the two
young babies, one black, one white.
A few days ago the proprietor of the
Los Angeles institution came to Long
Beach and inquired from outsiders
about the Schultz place. A little later
DIR. Schultz received a letter stating
that as his establishment was not a
church institution the children could
not be placed there. DR.. Schultz is an
cry because the Los Angeles man did
not come directly to him for his infor-
nation.
The LonP Beach physician believes
in the principles of universal brother
hood. In his colony there are a Kore-
an, a Filipino and American children.
They eat at one table, sleep in the same
room and receive their schooling at
home from a private teacher.

furnished and are now open to all in
terested in the organization.

and a club room.
All the daily papers will be kept on

.tors. An important part of the equip
ment will be the enrolment books, in
which a list of all Democratic voters
in the city will be kept.
The next meeting of the league will
be held in this room Monday night.
AS Charles Grimes, the president, is
now in Arizona visiting his mines and
A. ]. Toolen, vice president, will leave
vile, the meeting probably will be in
charge of Walter r. Simons, the sec
rotary.

meeting, will be continued with the
names of all members present, and
will then be placed on file in the room.
The most important business to come
up is the election of sixteen precinct
committeeman. When this step is
taken the league will be ready to enter
actively on the work of the campaign.
Another important matter for consid-
GRAFTON is the sending Of large dele
cation to the ratification meeting in
Los Angeles, July Is. The league con-
siders this the best occasiono on which
to show its strength, and plans to be
there in force.

ent: Charles Grimes, A. B. Barnes,

OSCAR WILCOX IS
FOUND ON DESERT
FULLY IDENTIFIED BY KEYS
AND CLOTHING
Sheriff Believes Death Was Due to
Natural Causes, as a Plentiful
Supply of Water Was
Near at Hand
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINO, July 10.-The
body of Oscar Wilcox, the lone pros
ago on the desert in the Oad Womans
Springs region east of Victorville, has
been found by Sheriff ]. c. Ralphs and
the relief party, who have been search
ing the desert wilderness for several
days. The body lay in what is known
as the Chug Warren canyon, in the
Pipes country. some miles southeast Of
Old Woman's Springs. 1t was so bad
ly decomposed that it had to be in
tered on the spot, but was fully identi-
fled by the clothing and keys in the
pockets.
Wilcox left the Charles Martin ranch
in the San Bernardino mountains three
weeks ago with a horse and two burros,
on a prospecting trip. He was seen
several days afterward at the Coving-
ton mine, where he seemed to be in a
moody condition. Two or three days
later the rorse and one of the burros
returned to the Martin ranch, showing
that Wilcox had been lost. Martin at
once reported to Sheriff Ralphs, and
they made up a rescue party to search
Some days ago Sheriff Ralphs picked
up the back track of horse in the
region that Wilcox was supposed to
have traversed, and with that as a
clew the searchers started from Rattle
snake canyon. Mile after mile they
plodded on, sometimes losing the trail
and again finding it, until yesterday
afternoon they came upon the corpse
in Chug Warren canyon.
Wilcox was a cripple. Whether his
horse and burros got away from him Is
not known, but it is probable they did.
| Once without an animal to ride, Will
cox would have been helpless, being
unable to use his feet without the aid
of crutches.
Sheriff Ralphs arrived tonight and is
convinced that lack of water played nc
part in the death of Wilcox, as there
was plenty at hand where the body
was found. The sheriff believes Will
cox died of an ailment with which he
had been afflicted for many years.
