PICNIC GIVEN CHINESE
WOMEN AND CHILDREN
ASlATICS ARE ENTERTAINED
AT PLAYA DEL REY
More Than One Hundred and Fifty
CeIestials Are Guests of Congre-
gatlonal Mission of Los
Angeles
Especial to The Herald

Especial to The Herald
PLAYA DEL REY, July 27.-More
than $50 Chinese women and children
were the guests of the women of the
congregational Mission of Los Angeles
at a basket picnic here today.
For some is was the first experience
of the kind in their lives and the diff
ferent ways in which they displayed
their wondering joy and pleasure was
decidedly interesting. one pretty lit
tie slant eyed mother nearly went into
Mysteries when her seven year old
hopeful, in his eagerness for swim,
made for the ocean, clothes and all,
and was dragged protesting from the
water.
Little sober eyed children sat on the
sand and gravely constructed miniature
joss houses, until a wave creeping on
them startled them out of their natural
gravity and they threw up their hands
in childish glee. and made great antics
in getting away from the wa terry
monster.
Gentle little mothers sat on the
sand or gathered around the porch
tables and chatted their soft musical
language, keeping watchful eyes on
their swad5led youngsters who played
at their feec or rolled serenely on the
floor in animated bundles of silks and
sashes.
Altogether it was red letter day in
the lives of these persons. who do not
know many of the joys of the sea
shore in the American way and the
looks of satisfaction and gratitude that
they bestowed on their white chaper-
ons expressed more than they could
have told in the limited amount of
English at their disposal.
At 5 o'clock two special carloads of
solid contentment and happy faces
started back to Los Angeles amid ex-
Carnations of delight at some new
phase of the ever changing ocean,
which had escaped their notice during
the day.

3 ESCAPE DEATH IN
EARLY MORNING FIRE
BLAZE IN BUSINESS SECTION
CAUSES $4,000 LOSS
Three Stores and One Residence De-
molished by FIames-Two Men
and a Woman Awakened by
Roar of Confagration
rspecial to Tie Herald. ]

PASADENA, July 27.-Fire in which
one man was burned, three lives threat
ened and property valued at $4,000 de-
stroyed occurred in West Green street
this morning, when three stores and
one residence were damaged by flames,
William Keyler, the man injured, was
awakened by the shouts of Alfred Hut
son, just as the roof of his dwelling
fell on him. His head was burned
severely, and his shoulders and hands
scorched before he could fight his way
into the open. Two other occupants
of the same house, Mr.. and Mrs Frank
Ochova, escaped through rear win
dow in their night clothes, leaving be
hind them their jeWelry and about S15
in money. Their loss will amount alto
gether to about $780, with no insurance.
keyler's loss is about 500.
James Smith of Altadena is the heav-
lest loser. He was the owner of the
property. He estimates his loss on the
buildings as about $4,000, although 1t
would cost more than this to rebuild
them. In one of the buildings, that at
6 and West Green, he had stored an
automobile, a buggy and various arti-
Giles of furniture which were heirlooms.
These he values at about $500. His
loss is practically complete.
Awakened by Flames
In the store at No. 10, in the rear of
which stood the cottage occupied by
the Oc-ova family, was domiciled A.
Hutson & Co, dealers in oil furnaces.
Hutson stayed in the building last
night, rather than go to his ranch in
Linda Vista, and slept in room in the
rear He was awakened at o'clock
this morning by the roar of the flames,
which issued from the loft above. What
started the fire is a mystery for Hut
son had no time to investigate. He
ran, giving the alarm, and the opening
of the door started the flames with
rush which for a time threatened to in
clude not only the buildings afterWard
destroyed but to sweep through the
two big wooden blocks at the corner
of Fair Oaks and Green street Sew
eral dodgers moved out of these build
ings as the west side was catching, but
this danger was finally overcome by
the Pasadena fire department, which
succeeded in combining the flames to
the smaller structures.
The last shop to catch was the build
ing housing the Peoples Pride laundry,
of which Thomas Judd is proprietor
Although he managed to save the cloth
ing of his customers, the balance of the
plant, which was recently purchased,
was destroyed His loss amounts to
S25O0, without insurance. Hutson, who
lost $50 in cash and fixtures worth SloO,
was the only sufferer to carry insur-
ance.
1t is doubtful if the buildings will
be rebuilt for some time.

RUSTY SILVER WATCH
FOUND AT BOTTOM OF
3OO-FOOT WATER WELL

SAN BERNARDINO, July PA
bent and rusty mass of silver, thought
to be the remains of an old watch, has
been brought up from the 300-foot level
in the new city we'll which is now
being sunk at the Lyle creek reser-
voir. No one has undertaken to solve
the mystery surrounding the finding of
the ancient timepiece or how 1t came
TO be at the bottom of the big we'll.
None of the men working with the well
boring crew have reported the loss of
the timepiece, and it Is now in such
condition that it is impossible to make
out the make.

To Replace Water Main

SAN BERNARDINO, July 27.-To
replace the old six-inch water main on
Third street west of G, the board of
water commissioners last night placed
an order for two cars of new eight-inch
cast iron water mains to be delivered
and installed at once. Haste is made
necessary by the fact that the contract
for the paving of the street from q
to the Santa Fe has been let and calls
for the completion of the work within
sixty days, and it is desired to lay the
new mains before the paving is laid
i'm order to avoid tearing it up again.

ESTIMATES OF EXPENSES
EXCEED ClTY'S REVENUES

RIVERSIDE, July 2L-When the
members of the city council received
from the various heads of departments
this morning their estimates of the
probable amounts necessary to meet
the expenditures Of the coming year
they were confronted with the astound-
ing total of $185, Ala. The amount raised
by a $1.55 tax rate last year was S134,-
600, and as the recent looping off of
city territory will about offset the in
creased assessed valuation for this
year it will not be possible to raise a
greater sum. The council is accord
ingly confronted with the problem of
scaling down the total some $4,000 or
more.

Lakes Form Quickly

The following day they continued
their trip After passing through Rab-
bit springs they saw another storm
sweeping towards them from the ORC
Grande region. Before they reached
the Buttes they encountered two i'm
mense lakes which had been formed in
an incredibly short time by the rain.
1t was necessary to make detour or
five miles to avoid the water and again
get on the main road. At Deadman' s
point the rain had poured down for
three hours amounting to more than
two inches. At this point another lake
had been formed and the waters
drowned the entire flock of chickens
belonging to the lone settler at that
place.
The party took almost the same
course as did the three Los Angeles
men who nearly lost their lives through
lack of water. and who were saved by
the storm. The local men were one
day behind the other party.

Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, July 27.-Con-
firmation of the reports of the terrific
storm which prevailed on the desert
side of the San Bernardino range the
latter part of last week and the news
of the forming of three big lakes, the
first reported in years, caused by the
downpour of rain, has been received
with the arrival of c. II. Lindner Of
this city and his party, including Fred
Shafer, William Radenbeger, Frank
Kehl and Philip Staiger, who trav-
ersed the desert in the race of the tenn
pest.
Realizing that the brewing storm
would soon burst on their camp at
Rattlesnake. where they have valuable
mining claims, the men decided TO
make for the desert before the rain
reached them. 1t was at first their in
tentton to make the trip to San Ber-
nardino through Bear valley, but with
the breaking of the storm in the higher
mountains this was impossible When
they left Rattlesnake springs the rain
could be seen behind them pouring
down in torrents and rapidly sweeping
towards them. They camped for the
night between Rattlesnake and Old
Woman springs and prepared for
thorough drenching. The rain, now
ever, did not reach them.
