STRONG MAN ON
POLICE FORCE
RALPH C. WEISS HAS SAVED
SEVENTEEN LIVES
FIRST LESSON LEARNED FROM
ROUGH OLD FATHER
Years at Lighthouse Taught Youth
How to Save Men from
Death in the
Sea

That the Los Angeles police depart
ment can boast of one of the strongest
and most courageous men in the Unit
ed States is the opinion of the fellow
workers of Patrolman Ralph c. Weiss
and records show that this opinion IS
not overeXaggerated.
Although weighing but 1S5 pounds
and standing 5 feet 111a inches i'm
height. Patrolman Weiss has estab-
lished an enviable record both before
and since joining the Los Angeles po-
lice department.
OF modest and unassuming appear
ance, and but n years Of age, this
guardian of the public has record OF
saving seventeen lives, and at the po-
lice station are a number of testimo-
malls to his bravery under trying con-
ditions.
Weiss was born in Los Angeles in
1882 When a mere youth his parents
moved to San Francisco, and 1t was
not long before he learned to become
an expert oarsman, as his father was
lighthouse keeper at the Inflated light
house at FaralOnes islands.
Heroism at Goat Island
Later, when his father took the po-
sition of lighthouse keeper at Goat is
land, young Weiss distinguished him
self in many acts of bravery, and II
was often said that there was not a
boy of his years or size who could
pull an oar against him.
The sturdy father who had been
used to the trials and hardships of
coast life, had instilled in the son the
lessons that in after life and at the
present time have proved of incal-
culabie benefit.
When a young man in his teens a
fierce storm arose on the coast near
Goat island, and in company with sew
eral older and more experienced life
savers young Weiss distinguished HIM
self by saving seventeen persons from
death beneath the waves.
In 1902 the papers of the west were
replete with accounts OF the equinoc-
tial storms which raised havoc along
the coast near the Bay city, and in
the midst of one of the fiercest storms
Weiss, accompanied by three other life
savers, risked life and succeeded in
bringing to land three duck hunters
who were at the mercy of the waves.
Boat Swamped Twice
This rescue was accompanied by
thrilling incidents, as the boat of the
lifesaVers, which was engineered by
Weiss, was swamped twice before the
victims of the wrath of the ocean were
rescued.
The hunters were in the bay when
the sudden storm struck them and the

MEANS WORK
FOR MANY
MEN
CUTOFF FROM WELLS TO DEETH
TO BE COMPLETED.
Grading Finished and Operating De,
partment of S. p. is to Lay
the Track.

All the grading on the sixteen-mile
cutoff between Wells and Deeth, on
the Southern Pacific road, has been
completed by the contractors, and 1t
Is currently rumored at local railroad
headquarters that the work of laying
the track on the cutoff and erecting
section houses and other buildings
will be turned over to the operating
department of the Salt Lake dlviS-
ion for completion as early as pos
sible
When questioned on the subject
by Standard reporter, Superinten-
dent Manson, would neither affirm nor
deny the story. but admitted that the
operating department could take care
of the new work if necessary and
added that il the order were received
to proceed with the task. 1t would af-
ford steady employment to a large
number of men for at least two
months.
The track material is all on the
ground and several work trains would
be required to push the work of dis
tributing steel and ties and other ma
terial and for ballasting the new
track as soon as it was laid.
There will be several sidetracks on
the cutoff and two OF three new sec
tion houses will also keep carpenters
busy for several weeks.
Owing to comparatively light freight
traffic at present, the new work out
lined would give employment to many
enginemen and trainmen who are now
on the extra list.

WAS TAKEN VIOLENTLY I'LL
OF PTOMAINE POISONING

Clifford Potter. proprietor OF the
Potter Cafe, was taken violently iii
yesterday forenoon at 1880 O'Clock of
ptomaine poisoning. and for number
Of hours his life was despalred of.
Doctors McCarty, Joyce, Rich and Os-
good were called to attend the sick
man, and they worked strenuously
during the major portion Of the after
noon to save his life.
Drastic measures we're resorted to
and last evening the physicians con-
sldered MT Potter out of danger. but
still a very sick man. Just what
caused the poisoning could not be def
nitely stated inasmuch as Mr.. Potter
had not eaten anything out of the
ordinary menu for his breakfast AT
the hour above stated Mr.. Potter was
taken violently Ill and within a very
short time was taken with convulsions
and excessive cranpings in the stom-
ach. At one time the doctors feared
that they could not save his life. but
by perseverance and the application
of the remedies for such cases sue,
ceeded in restoring him to a condition
beyond the danger point.

After Lapse Of Months,
Mans Recollection of
Past Is Restored

Riverside, Cal. April S.-Like a
flash and as inexpllcably as 1t left
him, the memory Of the past life OF
Florin G. Lee came back TO him to-
day after a complete lapse lasting
since December 80. On that date,
Lee disappeared from his home here,
and was found several weeks later In
Los Angeles working under another
name Mt new employment, with no
recollection whatever OF his life In
this city. All efforts Of his father and
other relatives to awaken him to con-
sciousness OF his former self we're
fruitless until he was taken to the
dry goods store where he had been
employed for several years. His rec
objection was almost instantly re-
stored.

THREE DOLLARS A LETTER
FOR THE SIGNS ON CITY HALL

Chicago, Ap-il s.-Three dollars q
letter is the average price paid for
some Of the signs on the temporary
city hall. About the cost-the actual
money paid-for the lettering on the
doors and windows on the temporary
ofices there is no question.
It is alleged that 1t was impossible
to draw specifications and each depart
ment head Was allowed what signs he
desired. The charge Is made that
$4,000 was spent for work which could
have been secured for $1.500. The
signs cost about Sc line for gold and
$50 for black letters
On tho building are two signs which
cost $3.50 each.
