AQUEDUCT BUREAU OF
POWER PROVIDED FOR
New Branch of Department of Public
Works to Handle Big Owens
River Problem

An ordinance presented by the board
of public works, was yesterday passed
by the city council creating the
Bureau of Los Angeles Aqueduct
Power
This is to be a new branch of the
department of public works and will
deal solely with the power to be de-
veloped by the Owens river. This
power is estimated at 10000 horse
power and it is expected to have the
power plants in operation in Los An
geles almost as soon as the Owens
river water reaches here. 1t has been
estimated that the sale of this power
to private consumers will more than
pay the interest and sinking fund on
the aqueduct bonds and by this power
the Owens river will pay for itself.
The ordinance passed yesterday pro-
vides for the creation of the position
of chief electrical engineer, who will
receive a salary of $500 a month. E. F.
Scattergood, who has been employed
by the aqueduct department as electri-
cal engineer, will be appointed to this
place. Other employees also are pro-
Vided for.

national reserve on Mount Rainier.
Laughing at inconvenience and

We're in constant use by the secretaries

Baron Shibusawa, the aged financier
of Japan, was among the first to
alight from the car which carried the
party from the main line at KapoWsin
up to Electron, about three miles.
One of the most interested observers
was Takuguro NakahaShi, head of the

Il breaking of the Bluewater dam,
which held back the contents of res
ervoir thirteen miles long and three
miles Wide, sixty miles east of Gallup,
N. M. Monday afternoon, the Califor-
MIA limited narrowly escaped being
overturned
AS it was the flood swept down the
Rio Puerco valley, washing out about
five miles of the Santa Fe line. The
oncoming flood was seen from the win
dows of the limited and the passengers
were panic-stricken. The trainmen took
desperate chances and ran the train
through the rushing waters in advance
of the big wall of the flood.
While passing through the flooded
district several ranch houses were
floated against the windows of the
rear cars. 1t is reported here that sew
eral ranchmen lost their lives, al
though couriers were sent out in ad-
vance of the break, to warn them. No
names have been learned as the wires
are down.
Reports here show that the Santa Fe
is tied up indefinitely. General Man
ager Wells is said to be on the way to
the scene of the disaster, accompanied
by superintendent ]. B. Hitchcock,
who will watch his division east of San
Bernardino and take charge of traffic
arrangements there.
When the flood reached the little sta
ton of Bluewater the operator there
was forced to flee for his life to the
hills, after notifying the dispatcher at
the stations on each side to hold the
trains.

Mary Hustage, so years old near
Eighth street and Redondo avenue here
tonight Mrs. Hustage also fired three
shots at Miss Becker's father but none

The police here believe that Mrs.

recovery.

HARTMAN HAS
SECOND RELAPSE
RUM0R OF SUDDEN DEATH IS
DENIED
Statement of Physician Says That
Temperature of Patient Is Still
High-Old Friends
Called In
1Ru Associated Press.1

ARDEN, N. Y, Sept. S.-After a
night of uncertainty it was determined
shortly after midnight that e. H. Har-
riman is not in such a critical condi-
ton as earlier reports indicated. A
party of newspaper men succeeded III
reaching the Hartman house and in
talking with Dr. Lyle, who said en-
phatically that there was no cause for
alarm.
Rumors of the most alarming nature
were circulated throughout the early
part of the night. Shortly after 10
o'clock yesterday morning came re-
port that the financier had died in
sudden collapse. Where this rumor
came from no one can say, but with
the difficulty of obtaining communica-
tion with the Hartman home 1t was
given wide circulation and had spread
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast
before a terse denial over the telephone
from DR.. Lyle set it at rest.
Terse Denial Made
DR.. Lyle declined to add even a word
to his denial, and his refusal to give
out any further information regarding
his patients condition gave further
grounds for speculation, situation
that was readily seized upon by alarm
ment issued in New York by a friend
of Mr.. Hartman did not serve to quiet
even during the afternoon any appre-
hension which was felt there. 1t was
pointed out that the information upon
which the statement was based may
have been a day old.
Evidence pointing to serious set
back in Mr.. Harriman's condition be-
gan to accumulate early in the after
noon, confirming reports from the un-
official channels which the large num-
ber of employees surrounding the sick
man offer in great variety. Three men,
who professional appearance led at
once to the conclusion that they Were
physicians. were rushed through the
town in an automobile and up the hill
shortly after noon and there were other
visitors, personal friends of the sick
man, whose hurried arrival was taken
to mean a change for the worse.
