LEGISLATIVE PARTY
VISITS BEACH TOWNS
LAWMAKERS COMMITTEE IN.
SPECTS HARB0RS
Delegation Which Makes Trip of OBJ
servation of Water Fronts is
Headed by Senator
Savage
Especial to The Herald. ]

LONG BEACH, Feb. PA legisla-
tive committee, including Senator Saw
age and others, visited Long Beach,
Wilmington and San Pedro today. The
party was met at Compton as it came
from Los Angeles by a delegation in
Guiding Mayor Windham, Attorney
DEMO, w. H. Chandler, E. o. Lynne
and J. A. Miller. The visitors were
escorted to Wilmington and San Pedro.
At the latter point they boarded the
Warrior and Travelled through the inner
harbor, then out around the breakwa-
ter and into the open sea, where suf-
6cfent voyage was taken to bring on a
little seasickness and show the visit
ors how much rougher the water is out
side the breakwater than in the har-
Dor. A rather heavy sea prevailed.
After returning to land the party took
a trolley trip to the lighthouse. Later
they enjoyed a luncheon served them
at San Pedro by friends.
Returning through Wilmington to
Long Beach the party visited the Craig
plant, and then went over the Long
Beach harbor in the launch Margarita
viewing the Salt Lake, bascule bridge
and the site of the contemplated ocean
after the return to town the visitors
boarded a car for Los Angeles.
Evidently they were much impressed
with what they saw. There was little
discussion of the consolidation project,
save in the way of gentle jokes sprung
for Senator Savage's benefit.

PASADENANS EXPECT TO GET
FORTUNE FROM GOVERNMENT

PASADENA. Feb. 21.-Believing that
under the spoliation act passed by con-
gress recently, they will recover be-
tween 5000 and $4,000 which it is
claimed has been due their family from
the government for about 100 years. DIR.
Paul F. Deford and his brother, J. B.
Deford. are securing attorneys to OBJ
tain the amount due them under the
act.
Both claimants are great grandsons
of Captain Davenport of Newburyport.
Mass, who in 1912 sent out several
ships which were destroyed by French
privateers. After the war the French
government paid into the United States
treasury the value of these vessels, but
the money, save for $500 paid to each
of the claimants some years ago, as a
partial accounting, has been withheld
Captain Davenport left but few heirs.
and two of these are the Defords of
Pasadena. They estimate the share due
them of the claim, including principal
and interest, is approximately $4,000.

PLACES BAN ON EDIBLES
OF COMMON TABLE USAGE
Expert Condemns Hot Lard, Baked
Beans and Pie, and Says Fruit
Should Be Principal Diet

PASADENA, Feb. 21.-Hot lard is
rank poison. Baked beans in this eli
mate are horrible. Pie is dreadful.
Those are some of the points made
by Mrs. Grace Dutton, teacher of do
mestic science in the public schools, in
an address delivered to the women Of
the Washington Heights club.
Nor are those the only things con-
demned. Mrs. Dutton declares the
prevalence of rheumatism in Southern
California is due entirely to the foolish
ness of eastern persons who come here
and attempt to live on a similar diet
in a climate differing so widely from
that of their homes. Beef, in particu-
lar, she declared was responsible for
most of the illness. She advocated a
diet of fruit and vegetables and the
eating of limited quantity of sweets,
as we'll as more outdoor exercise and
lots of fresh air.
Olive oil and a moderate quantity of
butter fat were in her opinion the only
fats which should be introduced into
the system.
She closed with a description of the
work being done among the girls in the
public schools in the way of making
them model housekeepers, and pleaded
for frightening of the kitchen, where
most women have to spend the bigger
portion of their days.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
CONFER THREE DEGREES
Ceremony Begins at o'clock in the
Afternoon and Continues Until
9 O'Clock at Night

1t was a banner day yesterday for
the knights of Columbus in the Eighth
district of California.
The three degrees of the order were
exemplified with great pomp and
ceremony yesterday. The initiation
began at 1 and continued until o'clock
p. m. at Kornblum hall, corner of
Griffith avenue and Washington street.
There were 900 present, representing
the knights of the Eighth district, and
it was q lively crowd that conferred the
three degrees on the siXty-four candi-
dates who stood up under the trying
ordeal with great fortitude.
The affair was in charge Of District
Deputy John F. Burke, assisted by
Deputy Grand knight Walter Gold
smith and the first degree was con-
ferred.
The second degree was exemplified by
Walter ]. Desmond of Long Beach, as
sisted by Rev. John J. Clifford, pastor
of st. Thomas church of Los Angeles.
Past State Deputy Joseph Scott as
sisted by Joseph Coyle conferred the
third or major degree.
After the degrees were conferred the
knights adjourned from the assembly
hall to the banquet room, where a sup
per had been provided. P. T. McCarty
presided at the table. Many addresses
were made and the event was much
enjoyed.

NAVAJO INDIAN
ON A RAMPAGE
Woman Cut in Back and Severely
Wounded by Redskin-TWo
Persons Fatally ln-
jured
LRv Associated Press

CINCINNATI, Feb. 21.-With an
ear-splitting warwhoop an unidentified
Navajo Indian war chief ran amuck
in the railroad station here today and
before he could be overpowered he had
fatally stabbed and cut Mrs. Anna
Devord of Huntington, w. Va, and
Max Meyers of Cincinnati, and seri-
ouSly wounded Joseph w. Gordon OF
Cambridge, Ill.
The Indian, with four Sioux war
chiefs from Kansas, had alighted from
a Chesapeake & Ohio train. AS the
passengers alighted from the train the
Indian, with a warning yell, drew a
long dagger and started through the
crowd, slashing right and left.
Mrs. Devord was closest. to the In
dian, walking up the platform with a
child in her arms. Before she could
heed the warning cry raised by passen-
gers the Indian had buried the dagger
in her back and then slashed her across
the body and arms.
Disregarding the insensible form OF
his victim, the Indian next attacked
Meyers. AS Meyers fell to the plat
form the Indian ran toward Gordon
AS the blade penetrated the clothing
of the victim and entered the flesh,
passengers and station attaches who
had stood rooted in their tracks with
horror, made a concerted rush on the
madman.
They hurled themselves on the pros
trate Indian, who struggled desper-
ately. The dagger was knocked from
his hand and he was taken in charge
by the police.
On the train the Indian, who had been
to Washington to see the secretary OF
the interior, was noticed to be broodine
and sullen.

NOTORIOUS CAFE
QUITS THE GAME
OLD HEIDELBERG FINALLY
CLOSES ITS DOORS
CHANGE OF PUBLIC OPINION
SUDDENLY STOPS PROFITS
Creditors Begin to Press for Their
Bills and Proprietor Is Forced
to Go Into Bank
ruptcy

AT 1870 o'clock this morning the Con-
gress cafe, formerly the Old Heidelberg
cafe, 419 South Main street, closed its
doors. Another result of The Herald's
crusade against protected vice. Ina
bility of S. p. Clark, better known as
Patsy Clark, prominent in certain po-
l1t1cal circles, to meet the demands Of
his creditors and his petition in bank
ruptcy are the causes. The slump in
business caused by The Herald's cam
palgn against such resorts prevented
Clark from realizing profit enough from
the sale of liquor to Hquidate his in
debtedness, and, to avoid a further loss
and protect himself, he filed a petition
IN the federal court asking that he be
adjudged a bankrupt.
Several months ago Clark's creditors
obtained a writ of attachment and the
place was closed by constable. Later
the creditors and Clark got together
and the business was turned over to the
former and given in charge of a COM
mittee, who appointed a manager tc
look after the interests Of those tc
whom Clark owed money
Business was good, rouge -bedaubeG
women and others thronged the place
and revelry of all descriptions reigned
Clark was making money, and if the
persons who frequented the place dur
ing this period lof prosperity had con-
unued their flow Of gold into his Golfers
all would have been we'll He would
have been able to settle with his cred
itors and lifted the Indebtedness from
the place. Then an unforeseen obstacle
was encountered in the crusade against
protected vice, and little by little busi-
ness dropped off until Of those who had
crowded the place We're reduced to less
than One-third.
The creditors were pressing in theiI
demands, and to avoid further compli-
cations Clark asked to be adjudged
bankrupt, thus removing the RESPONSE
bility from his shoulders.
AS the matter now stands the place is
under the Jurisdiction of the referee in
bankruptcy and is closed until further
arrangements can be made.
1t is probable the creditors will meet
and confer with the proper persons, anC
later the place may be sold to the high
est bidder and reopened under new
management.

LOCKWOOD RESIDENCE
FALLS PREY TO FIRE
STRONG WIND BATTLES ALL
ATTEMPTS TO SAVEIT
Spectators Succeed in Getting Part of
Furniture Out, but the Loss
Is Estimated at
$4,000
Especial to The Herald

SOUTH PASADENA, Feb. 21.-Fire
that broke out at 4:30 this afternoon
completely destroyed the magnificent
residence of Ernest H. Lockwood, on
the corner of Magnolia and South Or
ange Grove avenues.
South Pasadena has no fire protection
system and the Dayton street chemical
engine was the only one that was
brought into service 1t was quickly
seen that the fire was entirely beyond
control, especially as a high wind pre-
vailed. The fact that the residence
stood in large grounds of it's own was
all that prevented more serious disas-
ter. The ruins were still smoldering at
an early hour this morning.
Mr.. Lockwood was visiting his faith
er, Samuel Lockwood, in Pasadena at
the time Of the fire; Mrs. Lockwood
was out automobiling and the children
had gone for a walk. The only person
known to have been in the house was
the cook, and she has disappeared.
The blaze attracted hundreds of
spectators, and thanks to their efforts
a portion Of the furniture was saved,
but Mr.. Lockwood is uncertain as to
the fate of jewelry and money aggre-
eating $500 that were in the house. He
places his loss at 10000, $4,000 of which
is covered by insurance.
The porch of the house was built
around one of the oldest and largest
live oak trees in the country, and this
has been totally destroyed.
The origin of the fire at present is a
mystery
