POMONA, Sept. 4.-There is a move
ment on foot here for the building and
maintaining of a wide and shaded
boulevard between Pomona and Clare

The matter was considered some time
ago by the local board of trade, but
nothing was done. Now, prominent res
idents realize the advantage of good
roads, particularly to Pomona college.
Claremont is awake to the good roads
proposition, and the matter of widen
ing Mesa avenue to 100 feet from the

to 80 feet from Fifth street to Mesa av-
enue is being considered.
A fine decomposed granite roadway
already has been built as an extension
of Harvard avenue north from Mesa

ENGINES RUN INTO TRACK
WALKER ON VEL0CIPEDE
Father of Newborn Child Hurled Be-

and Is Crushed to
Death
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. Awhile
Mastering to this city last night to Sc
cure medicine for his wife and infant
child, just born, Pedro Negrete, Il
Santa Fe track walker, was struck and
instantly killed at the northern limits
of the freight yards here by string
of three engines, coupled, returning
after helping a freight train over the
mountain.
Negrete was riding from Del Rosa,
where he is stationed, to San Bernar-
dino on his velocipede and was instant
ly killed by the leading engine, his
body crushed beneath the pilot and his
velocipede thrown several hundred
feet farther to the side of the track.
An hour later a teamster found his
body where it had been hurled. The
police were notified and the body
brought in at midnight.
There was no light on his velocipede,
and the enginemen of the locomotive
never knew they had hit and killed the
man, who evidently did not hear the
approach of the engines or supposed
they were on an adjoining track.
At the inquest this afternoon the
jury returned a verdict of accidental
death and eXonerated the train crew
from all blame.

Theosophst

PASADENA, Sept. 4.-Church people
of all denominations filled the Shakes
peare club house to its utmost capacity
this afternoon to hear Mrs. Annie
Besant explain the objects of theosophy
as taught by her and her followers.
Although there is no sign of worry on
her countenance she looked older than
her 55 years when she stepped on the
stage in her white gown of no known
modern style. The great green ring,
which was bequeathed her by Madam
Blavatsky, was prominent on her hand.
Because of a lack of time Mrs. Besant
spoke briefly and that along the regu-
lar lines of the theosophical argument.
"Theosophy," she said, lis spreading
throughout the world absorbing all re-
ligions. Because Of it's truth it must
prevail 1t is not a religion, but the
brotherhood of all religion. We desire
to overthrow the religion of no one,
but to purify and elevate these beliefs
and, so far as possible, bring them into
harmony by showing them their rela-
tions to the great truths of the world" "
