BROTHER RISKS HIS LIFE
SEEKING HELP FOR GIRL
Two Killed and One Seriously Hurt
In Fall Met with in Climbing
Mountains

PARIS, Aug. S1.-A mountaineering
disaster in which Mile. Capedepond of
Lyons and Herr Gley of Berlin lost
their lives, was the occasion of re-
markable act of heroism on the part
of Mile. Capedepond's brother.
Mile. Capdepond, roped to her broth
er, and Herr Gley were descending the
very difficult and slippery ledge of
rocks overhanging the Bonne Pierre
glacier in the Berarde range, south of
Grenoble, when one of the party
slipped and all three were shot down
the rocky slope onto the glacier many
hundred feet below. In the fall Herr
Gley's skull was fractured and death
was instantaneous. M. Capdepond,
who was only stunned, recovered con-
seriousness, after while, and found
his sister was still alive, though terri
bly, injured.
He made an heroic effort to save
her life by carrying her on his back
to La Berade, three hours distant.
His strength was unequal to the task.
He stumbled on, but was forced to
abondon his sister on the way.
When he finally reached La Berade
he was in dying condition. A rescue
party at once set off to search for Mile.
Capdepond, but arrived too late. The
Young lady was already dead.

BELGIANG PREPARE
FOR WORLDS FAIR
Elaborate Plans Are on Foot for Great
international Exposition at
Brussels

LONDON, Aug. 31.-Preparations for
the Brussels international exhibition of
next year are so we'll in hand the prin-
cipal buildings have been erected. They
are arranged on the undulating Sol
bosch plain, backed by the dark mass
of the Bois de la Cambre, and set in
parklike grounds.
Great efforts are being made by Ger
MANY and France to secure adequate
representation, but neither has the ad-
vantage given to 1t by an INFERIOR
British organization on former occa-
sions. and many leading British man
ufacturers are preparing to assert their
position.
The organization of an effective Brit
ish section by the exhibitors branch
of the board of trade is welcomed by
Industries which have not hitherto ex-
hibited freely at international exhibit
tions as we'll as by those which make
exhibiting a part of their general
scheme of advertisement.
The new policy of collective display
has been adopted by chambers of COM
nerce or groups of firms in the Worst~
ed, wooden, cotton, silk, lace, motor,
electrical, cycle and chemical trades,
and is being considered by others. 1t
saves expense, makes a better effect
in a large exhibition and meets for
eign competitors with a weapon of
their own. 1t seems probable that
Brussels will have to deal next sum-
mer with an unprecedented invasion Of
tourists.
A novel meeting for the consideration
of aeronautics, on which $4,000 is to be
spent, a roads congress, the centenary
exhibition of the Ghent florists, and a
picturesque reproduction of Old Brus-
sells will be among the attractions.
Not only will the grounds be treated
very largely as gardens, but interna-
tional flower shows will open on April
80 and October 90 and a show for apple
growers and market gardeners in Sep
tember. The scale of these horticul-
tural exhibitions may be measured
from the fact that $50 Belgian ex-
perts will serve on the juries.

CITY OFFICIALS MISTRUST
ELECTRIC ROAD PROMOTER
Refuse to Grant Franchise Until Fred
Durham Goes into
Details

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 31.-1n
that he failed to demonstrate to the
mayor and city council he was in faith
in his request for a franchise through
certain portions of the city and was
able to construct an electric line, the
petition of Fred Durham still is held
UP by the city officials, pending such
a time as he decides to take them In
his confidence.
The mayor and members of the
council expressed themselves decided
ly not in favor of holding up street
work, now about to be undertaken. to
grant a franchise tax for the construc-
tion of a railway which is possibly
but a dream of the future. 1t is the
sentiment that the backer of the move
desires the franchise to block the en-
trance of the Pacific Electric, building
towards this city and now entering
Uplands, forcing it to take the fran
chise off his hands at profit.
A petition was received from prop
ertv owners on z street, along which
thoroughfare the car line would run
for two blocks, protesting against the
granting of the franchise through that
Street. Mr.. Durham then stated ne
would be willing to build one plock
further west and pending the filing OF
the new petition the matter Is heId
under adYisement.

CHARGE OF FAILURE TO
SUPPORT WIFE DROPPED
Judge Effects in Court Room Recon-
cliation Between Husband
and Woman

REDLANDS, Aug. 31-Herbert H.
Silvera, arrested at San Diego and re-
turned to Redlands on a charge of
failure to support his wife and baby,
has been released by Judge Clifford
after a reconciliation with his wife,
effected by Justice Clifford in his court
room. Siivera was arraigned in court
and denied he had abandoned his fam
lily and will not support them, but
stated he had taken up a section of
land in San Diego county, far back in
the mountains, thirty-six miles from
anv neighbor, and that he asked his
wife to Join him, but she refused, and
that he was working on the land and
trying to develop water and make it a
home place.
His story appealed to the court, who
called the wife into conference and ex-
planned to her that in view Of the de-
sire of SilVera that she accompany
him she could not press a charge of
abandonment that might send the hus-
band to prison. She said she had been
thinking of the matter and had about
decided to bring suit for divorce.
She was then Joined by her mother
and Judge Clifford decided on new
measures, leaving the three alone in
the court room for a conference, tell
ing them they had to settle the mat
ter among themselves. In an hour he
was called and was told they had de-
cided to patch things up and all would
go to the O'Brien home in Redlands
for the present. The charges against
Silvera were then dismissed.

Pasadena Takes First Step in Second
Campaign to Acquire Munich
pal Plants

PASADENA, Aug. 31.-Pasadena has
taken it's first step in the second cam
paign for the purchase OF the water
companies of the city and their COM
bination into a municipal plant which
shall serve the city with water. At a

view to ascertaining their value and
the price at which they are held by
the stockholders.

Hotaling, Root and Mersereau, the
city engineer and the city attorney was
appointed to take up this question with
the Pasadena Land and Water COM
pany, the Pasadena-L Vineyard
Land and Water company and the
North Pasadena Land and Water COM
pany, the three concerns which supply
most of the city with water. The COM
mittee is to ascertain from the stock
holders the lowest price and best terms
at which they will sell and report back
to the council. If further investigation
is deemed necessary a special commit
tee will be appointed for that purpose.

REDLANDS, Aug. 31.-County AS
SCISSOR H. B. Wilson of this city, who
is at Catalina for an outing, suffered
an accident two weeks ago that kept
him confined to his bed for ten days.
In starting into the house he fell down
a step and wrenched his back in a Sc
rious manner. The next morning he
was unable to move in bed and the
trouble is mending slowly.
A. E. Brock and George S. Biggin,
representatives of the Redlands realty
board before the state board of equal
ization at Los Angeles Monday, re-
turned today pleased with the showing
made for San Bernardino county and
expressed the belief there will be no
increase of the assessment figures for
San Bernardino county, figures show
ing a higher percentage of assessment
than in most counties.
! ]. J. Boberick, baker of Redlands,
will go to Los Angeles in a few days
to submit to an operation for the re-
moval of a silver of bone from his foot.
A year ago Boberick was blown from
the top of his bakery when he climbed
IN one night to see how much dis
tilIate was left in large tank, the
distillate taking fire from q torch. ex-
ploding and blowing Boberick about
forty feet. At that time the FOOT was
injured and it has failed to mend prop
erIv. causing a. recent examination by
specialists, who located the slivered
bone.
At the board of trade a quantity OF
potatoes were put on display today
that are the second crop from cuttings
planted in the spring. The real crop
was gathered about June Is, but some
of the cuttings had not decayed and
after the new potatoes were taken out
the cuttings were covered over again
and the second crop is almost as large
as the first.

SAY STATE LABOR
LAW is VIOLATED
UNION MEN PAY VISIT TO CITY
COUNCIL
Alleged That Employees of Street De-
partment and Men Employed on
Streets Work More Than
Eight Hours

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. S1.-Al-
leging the state law in regard to the
hours of service to be employed on
any public work, either under contract
or otherwise, was being openly and re-
peatedly violated in this city, a COM
mittee from the Carpenters and Join
ers of America last night waited on
the city council with a letter calling
the attention of the city officials to
the violation of the law.
1t is alleged by the local union of
that organization that the employees of
the street department are worked nine
hours a day and also that the cOntrac-
tors on the street work are vio-
lating the law in employing their men
over the eight-hour limit.
The matter was referred to the
mayor, city attorney and street su-
perintendent for careful investigation,
with instructions to enforce the law to
the letter in the event that the con-
ditions were found to be as cited by
the union men.
Owing to a recent supreme court de-
cision, in which it was decided that 1t
is not an infringement of the law to
employ men more than eight hours per
day on Vrooman act work, in that it
is not public construction, there was
doubt in the minds of the city off
cials whether the state law would ap-
ply in the case of contractors employed
on the bond issue, Of which the city
pays one-half.

INTERESTING RELICS ARE
UNEARTHED AT ST. PETERS
Repaving of Floor In 5asiliea DiscIoses
Archaeological Data of Great
Value

ROME, Aug. S1.-Interesting discov-
cries have been made during the work
of repaving the marble floor of the
Basilica of st. Peters. This work is
being done at the pope's personal ex-
pense. Many old slabs on removal
prove to be relics of monuments from
the ancient church reared by Constan-
tine the Great There have also been
found inscriptions recording memories
of the sack of Rome.
These and other facts brought to light
during the restorations have awakened
intense interest in the archaeological
world, and there is a renewal of the
agitation which was started several
years ago by an English antiquary,
Father Stapleton Barnes, for a thor
ough exploration beneath the papal
altar where the body of ST. Peter is
supposed to lie.
