WIRELESS THEIR ONLY
RELIANCE IN STORM
Santa Barbara Cut Off from Commune
cation with Outside World Save
for Station at Hotel
Potter

Throughout a recent storm at the
time of the landslide on the coast line
of the Southern Pacific, Santa Barbara
was entirely cut off from outside COM
munication except for the wireless
station at the Hotel Potter, according
to letter from Manager A. w. Roun-
sevel Of that hotel to H. L. Bleakney,
district manager of the United Wire
less company.
During last weeks Storm said Mr..
Rounsevel, 1.-The Potter operator was
able to reach all points, both north
and south, while at the time we were
absolutely cut off from the outside
world by all other means. The wire
less station was able to give us news
by aerogram which it was impossible
to get in any other way.
Another feat worthy of notice was
his catching the Pacific Coast steam
ship Queen about Point Arguello, some
sixty miles north of here, and inform
ing her captain of the fact that we
had large number of passengers here
at Santa Barbara stormbound who
were anxious to go by water to Los

REMOVED TO HOSPITAL
WHEN TRUTH is KNOWN
Man with Fractured Skull Who Was
Put in Drunk Tank by Mistake
Treated for Injuries

Edward Hathaway of 655 South Olive
street, who was taken to the receiving
hospital Wednesday night after being
run down by Cab Driver E. A. Hough
of the Westlake stables, was removed
early yesterday morning from the
drunk tanks, where he had been placed
on the supposition that he was intoxi-
Gated and was taken into the hospital,
where it was found he was suffering
with a fracture of the base of the
skull.
Police Surgeon Edward Wiley claims
that Hathaway was intoxicated when
he reached the hospital. DR.. E. H.
Garrett, who took charge of the hos
pital at a late hour, found Hathaway
in the drunk tanks in critical con-
dition.
Friends of Hathaway claim he is an
abstainer and his son, Harry Hatha-
way, who left his father a few minutes
before the accident, claims he had not
touched a drop of liquor that evening.

CLOTHES CUT TO RIBBONS
ARE EXHIBITED IN COURT
Negro Held to Answer to Superior
Court on Charge of Assault.
Called Names

A coat and pair of trousers slashed
into shreds by a knife were the main
exhibits in Justice Frederickson's court
yesterday afternoon when Sam Brown,
a negro, was held to answer to the
superior court for assault on Augustus
Hull with a knife.
The quarrel is alleged to have oc-
CURED at First and Alameda streets,
where Hull is charged with calling
Brown shine a term which Attor-
-ney Blair for the defense characterized
as opprobrious and insulting. Accord
ing to the testimony Brown resented
the insult and struck the offender.
Then a fight ensued in which Brown is
alleged to have used his knife. The
coat and trousers were cut in numer-
Gus places. Attorney Blair accuses the
arresting officer with using unneces-
sary force and brutality in subduing
Brown. The prisoner was held to
answer in $500 bail.

CONTRACTORS RELEASED
BECAUSE OF BIG MISTAKE
PattiIio Company Failed to Figure on
Excavation in Thomas Street, and
Profit Is Decreased

The Pattillo Contracting company
was released from the contract for i'm
proving Thomas street by the board OF
public works yesterday. The improve
ment is for cement sidewalks and curbs,
and is not costly Improvement. but
in making estimates the contractors
did not allow for some excavating that
must be done.
The contractors admitted it was
through their own negligence the mis-
take had occurred, and said if it would
cause any trouble they would carry on
the work, but that they could not
make profit of more than 800 if
they did. AS there was a difference
of about 10 per cent in the bids re-
ceived on the job, it was evident a
mistake had been made. The board
released the contractors on condition
they pay all costs incurred to date for
advertising and other details and sub
nit figure not higher than the next
lowest bidder.

Beer In Canals of Mars,

Lake Geneva Cor. Chicago Tribune.
 The delegates to the convention of As- tronomica Society of America were guests at luncheon today. and in their speeches brought forth some theories which do not appear in any astronomy. Among them were thess;
 That there is a great beer lake on Mars. One part of this foamy sea rests against the ice and snow of the Mars poles. The other Is connected with the supposed canals leading over the conti- nents.
 That Mars is the fat mans joy because he weighs so much less there. w. H. Taft could jump 20 feet into the air on Mars as easily as he can inches on earth With their biggest equations and modern appliances, the astronomers can not figure what Bryan could do here in the way of jumping, however.
 The astronomers do not like for the poets to write of the stars and planets. They say they are so ignorant. As 10 snowy poles of moonless Mars, they say that is rot for Mars has two moons. a local moon that makes the round tip in 29 hours. and an express moon that makes it every ' hours. They say that the latter has not pulled in second late in 5000 0OO, 100000 years.
 It was a unique luncheon given by Mrs. E. B. Frost and ladies of the ob- seryatory that put the star seers in their happy frame of mind. The table dec- orations of moon vines and sundowers, and star sandwiches, star dust icings and crescent peppermints were served.

BEES WORK ALL YEAR. Indiana Apiarist Keeps Them Busy By Sending Them South in Winter.

From the Indianapolis Star.
 A quaint method of working the bees overtime was given by one of the en- thusiasts, who claims that the bees real ly enjoy the "busy'' life throughout the year, when they find themselves where honey producing blossoms are plentiful
 My bees now work overtime" he said "No hibernating for them. In the spring l send them down south, and they toll like blazes among the southern flowers In summer l bring them here to the east, working them till the honeysuckle and the clover are quite gone. The autumn season finds them in Florida. where they make a peculiarly rich and aromatic honey from the Florida flowers. Calfor- mia gives them all they can do in the winter.
 ''Its splendid idea. I got it from those, hotel keepers of Europe, who have winter hotels on the Riviera and summer hotels at Dinard or Trouville. My trav- cling bees yield thrice as much honey as the stay y-at-home ones. Thank good ness. there are no labor unions among these insects"
 The beekeepers who, on the other hand. are content to have their bees remain in the same place throughout the year and work during the blossom time of fruits, flowers. the barley and clover and wayside flowers, were consulted as to the best methods of housing the bees during the winter
 Some experts are in favor of sheltering the colony by placing all the hives in a sort of open pen, snugly enclosed on the

The Army as a Show.

There appears to be no prospect or any change in the policy of the War Depart ment in permitting tine use of the army in various "shows" The assignment of troops to various functions which have the character of a local celebration Is Justified in many instances. such as that which occurs at Albany in the Hudson Fulton celebration; but there appears to be no reason why the army should be made side-show for various tourna- ments such as have taken place or are to take place this year at Dallas Tex, DesMoines, Ia., and Omaha, Neb. Some of these events are money-making schemes, and the presence of the regular military force lends official dignity to the occasion, just as it proves valuable sset for the managers of these affairs Last year, at St. Joseph. Mo-, the reg ular troops were placed in an inclosure to which admission was charged alto- gether an unnecessary and unjustifiable proceeding to which the War Department should not have lent its>aid and sanction for a moment. The assignment of troops q fthe army to places where there are celebrations of any sort should be regu- lated by the importance of the event and the justification of representation Of the national government. It is eXpen2lve to move troops, and, while 1t is well to give the people a chance to see how the public funds are being expended in mill itary maintenance there should be recog nition of the dignity of the employment of the army under any conditions. The military authorities should withhold their consent from any scheme which makes the army a part of a money making show, even when It possesses the title of "tournament.'

Diss Debar.

From the New York World.
 What is the secret of the amazing pow CT of the woman Miss Debar to delude people with the belief that she is the bearer of some mysterious message from the unknown world? To say that she is , a common swindler and gross humbug does not explain her career.
 The mere titles that the extraordinary old creature aud her associates have as- sumed in their various appearances-"Ma- hatama A-Diva Veed-Ya" and David the Prophet Helena and Horos," ''The New Eve of the House of Israeli and Mother Ellnor Mason, Queen of the Flying Rollers''-read like the painted canvas signs on the side shows at the circus. They sound like jokes. They ought to serve as warning to the most cred ulous man or woman permitted to be at large, yet the ideas they convey seem to exercise an irresistible attraction for cer- tain kinds of minds not to be treated as unbalanced.
 No cult in Miss Debars package was too queer or too ludicrous to keep away the earnest seekers after truth. She had a mystifying lingo, a knowledge of stage paraphernalia and an audacity in money getting that made 1t easy for her to carry off the game of spiritualism, or new thought, or new revelation or a brotheriy love religion turn and turn about In the company Of fairly acute persons. Luther Marsh, who fell completely under her influence, was an able lawyer, and the South African contractor who backed one of her religions ventures was hard headed business man. She served the round of the prisons from Joliet to Lon- don, and was always able to draw mora followers. Whenever she saw fit she could find another husband to marry. Of course the woman is a fraud, but a clever one. The method in her cleverness perhaps lies in her knowledge of the pow CT of superstition. Whether or not it is due to the weakening of the influence of the churches, the so-called occult scien ces'' have singular fascination for surprising number of people. On the emo tional or spiritual side they seem to suffer from the need of something with new and strange look and name and go grop- ing about in search of novel theory of life or esoterlc philosophy or absolute principle of all truth. Naturally there should be "school or an institute" and lot of incomprehensible terms | and turbans and thrones to keep interest | alive.
 l Miss Debar knew what was wanted
 and she tried to supply it. She had looked
 over the market and having shrewd
 commercial sense she strove to please her | customers.

By chance one day someone strayed into the wood and, hearing the music, spent a pleasant hour drinking in the sounds from the closely shuttered chalet. Next day he went again with some rrienos' A inc end of a week the virtuso discov- cred that a big crowd was enjoying his performance At first he felt inclined to blame this intrusion on his solitude; but better ehoughts prevailed, and during the remainder of his stay he threw open the shutters and played his very best.
