Another Letter from
 California. The Brinkley Lady now Seeing California writes Again of her visit In
 the Golden State.
Los Angeles. California
 June l, 1909

JuIlS j., 4OVO Dear ARGUS;-
 Have not been going SO much in the past few days, hence no letter last week. The only place I have been lately was down on the Pacific Ocean at San Pedro. The harbor at SanP Pedrois themost interesting thing there. l saw ships loading and unloading from all parts of the world. One that impressed me in particular was an old Scottish vessel. The ship itself was not so large but,it was the oddity of it that. struck me. It was built in Glasgow. The mast head bore an odd fiigure head, that of an old man with a pipe in his mouth. No doubt this was intended to represent some jolly old tar of particular note or fame. This vessel was in lovely order-in 'ship shape to use a nautical expression. Everything about it was nice and clean. The woodwork thoroughly cleansed and all ex- posed brass and metal was so highly polished as to look like new.
 There was a big battle ship anchored off San Pedro in that lovely harbor but twas long ways out and as this Hand lub- ber'' viewed it, restnig so quiet and peaceable;, my thoughts went back to Brinkley-dea old Brinkley the lazy looking vessel reminded me of a sleepy Brink ley boy.
 San Pedro is the sea port from which you sail to reach the world famous Catalina Island that place whose beautiful sub marine gardens have been pro- nounced by travellers, to be the o-andest most entrancing and novel marine sights to be seen in the entire world. I'm going to make the trip to Catalina ls- land before l leave the Golden shore'' and shall then tell you oi how it impresses me.
 I hope that you of dear old Brinkley" have had no occasion to use your storm cellars lately and that you are enjoying the counterance of old King Sol' for seven days in the week Out here in southern Californis

According TO data. which has been col

The officials have decided. after a thor

the only successful way 10 combat the

encourage construction of rat proof ware

It is conservatively estimated that dur

ENHANCEMENT Follows Death o

ENHANCEMENT Follows Death OF
Negro Aboard Battle ship.
The Navy Department Is a bit puzzled
as TO what course Of action 10 follow
in the case arising from the death OF
H H Foster. a negro mess attendant
on the L. S. S. Vermont who died from
a fall sustained in a boxing match
aboard ship.
The authorities OF the State OF Massa-
chusetts have asked Rear Admiral Sea-
ton Schroeder, commanding the Atlantic
feet. 10 surrender 20 them David w.
Williams. who was the man who boxed
with Foster. Admiral Schroeder has 80
far refused 70 comply with the request.
and the matter has been referred 10 thu
Navy Department. Action VIII probably
not be taken until a written report OF
the affair and the ensuing investigation
has been received here.
Rear Admiral Schroeder telegraphed
the department that his investigation re-
suited in finding that the death was an
accident. and that no one can be blamed
