THE GOVERNMENT ACCEPTS
 ONE MILE OF NEW CANAL
Over Three Miles Have Been CompIet- ed Up to Present Time.

For a long time the work on the
 Eastern canal has been progressing
 very favorably but none of the canal
 has been accepted by the government as complete until yesterday when the first mile of the new ditch was pro- nounced complete. This is the first mile on the north and was done by Tom Smith, the man who is contract ing from the Highland Canal Con struction company. Along the side of the new ditch is a splendid roadway which it is understood will be made along the entire canal side. The men working under MT. Smith have consid- erably more than the mile of work done. They are now working to the south. Fresno scrapers are being used for the top layer of sand and then slips are put on to do the work of ex- cavation. The boulders were found to be too numerous to allow the Fresnoes to work with success. The toughest mile of the course has been completed but there are yet two fourteen foot cuts to be gone through
 The second force of men under Con tractors Ryan and Kinney have over mile of work done at a point con- meeting on the mesa.
 The third force of men working un- der Jesse at the Roosevelt road have been off for a few days but it is un- derstood that they were to commence work yesterday morning. This force has nearly mile completed imme- diately north of the Roosevelt road.
 There is considerably over two miles of work completed and nearly four miles semi completed between the head and the Roosevelt road. Con- tractor Smith will double his force Monday morning and will of course | greatly increase the amount of work | The indications are that the canal will | be near completed by the first of July |

NEW REGISTRATION LAW
 MAY CHANCE RESULTS
Voter Must Read Constitution and
 Write Name LegibIy.

The new registration law which is now in full force and effect, may: go a long ways toward changing the net results in the general election for a good many reasons.
 He must be able to read constitution of the United States without prompt ing or without exhibiting any signs that he has committed the same to memory for the occasion and he must be able to write his own name.
 It is a self evident fact that the law is bound to chop out a good many voters who have heretofore exerted a certain influence at the polls at this place as well as many of the other precincts over the valley.
 Justice Irwin has the registration blanks and has already begun the pro- cess of getting information for the great register. The new law makes it compulsory to register whether regis tration was made last year or not MOST UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE.

CIRCUS PARADE INCIDENT

Louisville. KY, May 13.-Just as a
circus parade was winding from the
lot in Jacksonville yesterday after
noon, vicious boy flung a lighted
match into the straw of a cage where
seven live monkeys were confined.
Three thousand spectators who had
gathered upon the grounds, stood hor-
rified as the flames engulfed the beasts
and shrill, piteous cries Of which could
be heard for many blocks. Attend.
ants tried to rescue the animals but
were unable to approach the burning
wagon. One of the animals was
roasted alive, and only one, large
baboon, can live.
Hundreds Of people who had crowd
ed about the cage of monkeys saw a
small boy run along side as the parade
moved off. The bed of the wagon was
piled thick with straw, and he threw
the match directly into the center OF
1t. The parade was broken up and
great excitement was created. All OF
the animals we're trained, and the loss

LAMENTABLE CASE
OF A GIFTED Man
Upon Photograph of His Dead
Sister Rests Last Hope of
Alfred Lawrence.
FIGHTING MENTAL CLOUD
BEHIND THE STORY OF THE Mu-
slclAN's IMPAIRED MENTALITY
Is THE TALE OF A SADLY
STRICKEN FAMILY.
FIGHTING MENTAL CLOUD

Los Angeles. Cal, May 13.-Upon a
photograph OF his beautiful dead sis
ter rests the last hope of Alfred
Lawrence, musician and artist, of
raising the cloud that obscures his
mental faculties and partially de-
stroys his speech and hearing.
Four years ago, and again two years
ago, Lawrence and his sister. Miss
Minnie Lawrence, spent the winter in
Pasadena. The young woman was
beautiful and a musician accomplish
ed far beyond the ordinary. She APP
peared in several concerts in Pasade-
ma and Los Angeles. It is the last
hope of Mr.. Lawrence that someone
will recognize the photograph of his
sister. and by recalling details of their
sojourn here. enable him to regain
his cropping faculties.
Stricken Heavily.
Behind the story of the musicians
impaired mentality and benumbed
senses Is the tale Of whole family,
save one, annihilated in a short space
of time by typhoid. and a son and
brother stricken SO heavily by grief
as to leave only the pitiful wreck OF
a brilliant, talented young manhood.
Although only thirty-eight years old,
Mr.. Lawrence's hair is as white as
snow, his shoulders bowed like those
of man of eighty years. his eyes
dfmmed of uncertain sight, and his
speech hating and almost unintelli-
gible. He is unable either to read or
blank.
According to papers In his posses
sion. when in December, last year,
he was seized with an apoplectic
stroke at Rock Springs. Wyoming.
The stroke was probably brought on
by brooding over the death of his
father, mother, sister and three
brothers within eighteen months at
their old home in Philadelphia.
From Great Grief.
At the Rock Springs hospital the
doctors In attendance declared the
| stroke OF apoplexy resulted from great

he came to Pasadena.
In disconnected phrases word by

Taft stnnas Ffrm


Washington, Aug. 19.-The action OF
President Taft and Secretary Dickin-
son in directing the dismissal of the
seven cadets at West Point, convicted
of hazing Cadet Sutton, Is accepted by
the officers Of the army and the civil
oficers Of that department as a clear
indication of the purpose of the ad-
ministratton to fully support Colonel
Scott, the Superintendent of the United
States Military Academy. in his effort
to eradicate the practice of hazing in
all Its phases from students life at the
academy.
When 1t first became known that
evidence of hazing had been found In
the investigation Of the Sutton case
and that seven cadets had been con-
victed of that offense by an army board,
pressure was brought to bear on the
President and the Secretary Of War for
leniency.
While 1t was admitted by the friends
Of the accused that they should be
punished, it was argued that. their Of
Tense was but boyish prank and not
sufficiently serious to subject them to
the odium of dismissal from the SER
vice at the very outset of their careers
That these appeals were Intellectual
is accepted as a demonstration that
the President means to follow the let
ter Of the law bearing on such cases
by imposing the penalty of dismissal.

Examination for Alabama to BE Held
at University.
University, Aug. Especial 1.-The
next examinations to qualify for the
held in this State October 10 and 90
probably at the University of Alabama
DIR. George E. Parkin of the Rhodes
scholarship trust, has notified Dr. John
W. Abercrombie of the University of
Alabama to this effect. DR.. Aber-
crombie is chairman OF the committee
of selection for Alabama, the other
members being President A. P. Monta-
que of Howard College, President G. c.
Thach of Auburn. President S. NJ. Hos
mer of the Southern University, and
Prof. W. B. Saffold.
The conditions of the examinations
and information concerning the award
ing of the scholarships can be obtained
from the committee. Candidates must
have completed at least the soph omore
year OF some recognized degree-grant-
ing university or college Of the United
States, and must be residents OF the
State in which they apply. The exam
nations are not competitive but quail
flying, and emphasize mainly the clas-
sizes and mathematics. Before making
the award, the committee must consid-
er character leadership, athletic abil-
ity and general culture.
The scholarship provides for about
$500 per year for three years The
scholarships are awarded every year,
emitting each third year. Thus a State
may always have two representatives
at the English college.
Alabama's last two representatives
were Addison White of Birmingham.
