in product equal to the purest olive

WITH ISAAC kINLEY'S
FUNERAL EPOCH ENDS
Decedent Was Last Survivor of Con-
vention That Formulated Consti=
tuition for the State of
Indiana

The funeral of Isaac Kinley yester-
day afternoon marked the passing away
of the last survivor Of the convention
that formulated the constitution Of In
diana. He had lived in Los Angeles
thirty years, took an active part IN
Indiana affairs prior to the Civil war
and virtually outlined the foundation
of that states public school system.
Major Kinley's parents moved to In
diana when he was years old, and at
Is he was teaching school in Wayne
county. He was elected a member OF
the constitutional convention when he
was % years old, and was the youngest
member of the body, but also one of
the most active and respected. He was
afterward a member of the Indiana
state senate and was one of the or
ganizers of the Republican party IN
that state.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he
organized and captained a company,
and was afterward promoted to the
position of major, but before the close
of the war received a severe wound
from which he never fully recovered
He moved to San Jose in 1874, and Il
few years later came to Los Angeles,
where he established the Star, q
weekly publication, and maintained it
for a number of years, contributing at
the same time to other papers and mag
azineS. His army comrades in Bartlett
Logan post of the G. A. r. endeavored
to obtain a suitable pension in recogni-
tion Of his war services, but were un-
successful. Although suffering from
the effects of his wound for years be-
fore his death, Major Kinley's mind re-
mained bright and clear to the end.
The funeral was held under the aus
pices of his G. A. r. post at the Dex-
ter-Samson chapel

HELD TO SUPERIOR COURT
ON CHARGE OF EXTORTION
Two Men Alleged to Have Bunkoed
Aged Soldier Out of One Hundred
Dollars Placed Under Bonds
of $500

Thomas Rogers, 1910 Forty-second
street, the aged soldier who was made
victic of extortion, it is alleged, by
Edward Kosin and c. B. Clark Janu-
ary 8, told his story in Justice Pierce's
court yesterday and when he concluded
and few words of testimony was
given by other witnesses, the two men
were held to answer in the superior
court, bonds being fixed at $500 in each
case.
The two men tried to excuse their
actions by accusing Rogers of an in
tention to mistreat Clarks young
niece, whom he had taken in company
with other children to parks. Follow
ing one of these outings, Rogers said,
he was met by Clark and Kosin, who
told him they were officers and that
unless $100 was paid to them he would
be tried and probably sent to the peni-
tentiary. Rogers borrowed $100, and
this, he claimed, was divided between
the two men.

JAPANESE RUN OVER
AND KILLED BY CAR
Struck While Riding Bicycle and Ex-
pires Shortly After Undergoing
Operation at the Receive
ing Hospital

While attempting to cross in FROM
of an inbound Pico Heights car at Pico
and Hobart streets, Yashino Iakahashi
"a years old, a Japanese gardener liv-
ing at 2721 West Pico street, was
thrown from his bicycle beneath the
car shortly after II o'clock yesterday
morning and fatally injured. He died
at the receiving hospital shortly after
his right leg had been amputated.
The presence of mind of J. G. Dysart
of 3400 West Pice street prevented Ia
kahashi from bleeding to death. Dy-
sart was one of the first to reach the
injured man, and saw the blood spurt-
ing from the mangled limb. He located
the artery, compressed it with his fin
gers and held it until the arrival of
DR.. E. o. Sawyer, who tied a stout
cord about the limb and stopped the
flow of blood.
The victim was placed in Dysart'
big touring car and a record run was
made to the receiving hospital.
Takahashi bore his suffering without
a murmur. His right leg was terribly
nnangled above the knee and he was
cut and bruised about the body.
Shortly after being taken from the
operating table he began to sink, and
died within a few minutes.
The body was removed to the un-
dertaking establishment of BreSee
Brothers. where an inquest will be held
Wednesday afternoon.
