THISTLES DOING IMMENSE
DAMAGE TO RANCH CROPS

Complaint was made to the board of
supervisors yesterday that the Russian
and Canadian thistle has gained foot
hold in this vicinity and threatens to
spread to such an extent that the hay
crops next year will be greatly dam

The thistle, it is said, has been found
near the Osteopath college, East Los
Angeles; on the Mission road, in Lin
coin park, on the San Fernando road
and between Gardena and Parry,
enough having been discovered in these
places to cause $500. 900 damage. All
the territory affected is within the city
limits, and the matter was ordered re-
ferred to the city council.

INFANTS DEATH
CAUSED BY PILL
BABY DIES AFTER GIVEN ONE
DOSE OF MEDICINE
CASE WILL BE INVESTIGATED BY
coRoNER's OFFICE
Prescription Written by DR.. r. c. Dun-
das and Filled at Mt. Pleasant
Pharmacy-ChiId Suffers
Great Agony

After being given the second dose of
medicine prescribed by DR.. r. c. Dun
das of 27O9 Downey avenue, and OBJ
tanned from the Mt. Pleasant pharma-
cy, Bailey and East First streets, Ber-
tram Aubon Haskins, the 1O-months-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bertram A.
Haskins of 2507 Cincinnati street,
turned black in the face, suffered ter
rible agony for a few minutes, and died.
The matter was reported to the coro1
ner, who ordered DR.. l.. B. Stookey to
perform an autopsy, analyze. the con-
tents of the stomach and to take pos
session of the medicine and analyze it.
Sunday the child became ill, and the
mother, after doing what she could to
relieve it's sufferings, sent for DR.. Dun
das yesterday morning. The physician
issued a prescription, which was taken
to the Mt. Pleasant pharmacy to be
filled.
The pharmacy did not have the medi-
cine in stock, as it is not a drug COM
monty used, and sent to another firm
for the medicine.
Baby Refuses Medicine
When the drug was received by the
Mt. Pleasant pharmacy it was then
placed in a box and the label of the
Mt. Pleasant pharmacy was pasted
on it.
The directions were to give the child
one pill-the medicine being made up in
that form-every half hour. Because of
the size of the pill, the mother deemed
il best to pulverize it and reduced it
to a powdered form and gave it to the
child. The little sufferer refused to
swallow it, and thirty minutes later it
was given another dose in the pill
form.
Within a few minutes after swallow
ing the medicine the child became vio-
lently ill, it's face turned black and it
died shortly afterward.
The body was removed to the Boyle
Heights Undertaking company and the
coroner was notified, after the facts
were made known to the undertakers.
When DIR. Stookey makes the analy-
sis of the contents of the stomach and
of the pills he will report to Coroner
Hartwell, who will set the time for the
inquest.

ANTI-CLERICALS
Catholics Take Determined Stand
Against Anti-clericas Who Be-

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, April s.
Archbishop Ortiz and the priests of
the Catholic church here have declar
ed open war against the anti-clericals
here who are seeking to belittle the
miraculous power of tho Virgin Mary.
An anti-clerical newspaper charged
the priests with manufacturing ap-
partitions" in order to frighten the
people into believing that the Virgin
Mary was appearing at various places.
Archbishop Ortiz, in a sermon, de-
Tended the doctrine of miracles and
adjured all members of the church
to remain firm in their faith.
The attacking paper was reinforced
by two other newspapers, and in re-
taliation the clericals started boy
colt against all three publications, and
in addition posted pl- cards on houses
throughout the town bearing the fol-
lowing inscription:
Honor and glory to Virgin Mary:
no impious paper received in this
house,
Further to confuse the churchmen,
the newspapers mentioned have be-
gun crusade against what they term
