UNABLE TO LOCATE
BODY OF DEAD MAN
TRAlNMEN REPORT SEEING
GREWSOME SIGHT
Coroner Searches Desert, but Fails to
Find Corpse-Prospector
Is Overcome by
Heat
[speclal to The Heraldl

SAN BERNARDINO, July 1S.-ln
answer to a rush message telling of
the finding of the body of a dead man
along side the track at a siding be-
tween Barstow and Daggett on the
Santa Fe, Coroner Van VIE, with Vi
sions OF the terribly mangled remains
of some trainman or hobo or the body
of a victim of foul play, hurriedly
boarded the California Limited for the
scene of the tragedy.
One of the freight crews on the des-
er division when passing Nebo. d blind
siding, saw what he supposed to be
the body of dead man lying face up
wards at the end of. the ties. With
few miles away they passed on with
out investigating and wired to division
headquarters from their next stop of
the finding of the body.
Although the coroner and railroad
men went carefully over the ground
where the remains were supposed to
be lying, they could find no trace of
anything which looked like q dead
man. 1t is the supposition with the
temperature ITO in the shade, that the
man was overcome by heat and fell on
the track just out of reach of the
wheels and as the atmosphere cooled,
recovered and once more began his
journey.
Joseph Wilson, a well known pros
rector, was later picked up in & dazed
condition and was brought to the hos
pital this afternoon and ii is thought
that he was the man who was seen
lying beside the track by the trainmen.
Wilson is suffering from heat prostra-
ton, but has good chances for re-
COVerV.

The life savers were sent from the
bathhouse station as soon as word was
received by Manager Archer at the
bathhouse, the Dougan girl telephonlnS

ELkS RALLY TO SIDE
OF ACCUSED OFFICER
WILL DEFEND LIEUTENANT OF
POLICE
Guardian of Law Arrested by Con-
stable for Ejecting Humane So
ciety Agent from Tourna-
ment Grounds
Lsneclal to The Heraldl

PASADENA, July 13.-Arrested on a
warrant issued from the court of Judge
Ling of Los Angeles alleging assault,
Lieut.. Wallace H. Coping of the Pasa-
dena police force is tonight free on
cash bail of $50. Tomorrow he will
appear in the court to plead not guilty
and, by the action of the Pasadena
lodge of Elks, will be defended by the
ablest counsel to be found in this city.
Through the same advice, the case will
be fought to a finish.
The warrant is based on an incident
of the sports progrem at the park yes
tefday afternoon. Special officer zim-
mer of the Los Angeles Humane So
ciety was there. When the pushball
game was called, in which two teams
mounted on horses push,a huge leather
ball about in an effort to drive it be-
tween the goals of the opposing sides,
he stepped into the reserved space and
forbade it's continuance. Lieut., Cop
ping, in charge of the police detail at
the grounds, warned him from the
ground reserved for the players, and
the man refused to go. There were
heated words and then Coping, aided
by five patrolmen, forcibly removed
him from the danger zone.
Elected amidst the cheers of the
Elks, who were intent on the game,
thinner threatened Coping with ar
rest, but the threat was not taken
seriously, as the pushball games have
previously been investigated here and
found to be harmless to the animals
engaged far more so than polo, where
there is the chance of a horses legs
being cut or bruised by the mallets in
the hands of the riders.
This afternoon when Lieut.. Cop
ping reported at headquarters shortly
after o'clock, Constable David
Wilson appeared with warrant for
his arrest which charged assault and
battery. He speedily supplied the cash
bail demanded.

EMMANUEL BAPTIST
CHURCH IS DIVIDED
MEMBERS OF CONGREGATION
ASK PASTOR TO RESIGN
AlIeued That Rev. j. n. Scott Leans
Toward Doctrine of Divine Heal
ing as Opposed to ortho-
dox Belief

SANTA ANA, July 13.-Dissension
and strife have rent the congregation
of Emmanuel Baptist church, the NOV
ing cause of the trouble being the al
legged leaning of the pastor, Rev. j. II.
Scott toward the doctrine of divine
healing as opposed to the orthodox be-
liefs Of the majority of the church
members.
The trouble has been brewing for
months. ever since the departure OF
Rev Mr.. Yoakum, who conducted re-
Vival services in the Emmanuel church
for several weeks some months ago,
and whose methods when criticised by
some of the church members were
warmly championed by Rev Scott.
The difficulty has reached the stage
where a petition carrying the names of
a majority of the church membership
has been handed to Rev. Scott asking
for his resignation, but as, it is al
legged, several nonresident members are
included in the list of petitioners the
demand for Rev. SCOTS resignation
seems not to have been made by real
majority, and no action has been taken
on it, Rev. Scott came here less than
a year ago from Santa Barbara and
took charge of the local church, and up
to the date of the Yoakum incident
everything seemed to be moving along
smoothly.

GIRL POISONED
BEFORE KILLED
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BODY
SHOWS PRESENCE OF DRUG
Learned That Chinese Tried to Buy
Chemical at Drug Store on Day
Before Young Woman
Was Murdered
fRv Associated PressN

NEW YORK, July 13,-A chemical
analysis by Prof. George A. Ferguson
of Columbia university has detected
the presence of poison in the vital or
gans of Elsie Sigel, who was murdered
in the room of Leon Ling, and whose
body was packed in a trunk.
This disclosure by Prof. Ferguson
confirms the evidence submitted to the
police ten days ago that a Chinese
tried to buy poison at a drug stone near
the Chinese restaurant over which the
girl was murdered, and that this effort
to procure the poison was made on the
day before Elsie Sigel was killed
Another drug store near the restau-
rant filled a prescription for China
man for powerful irritant poison the
night before the girl was murdered.
A postmortem examination led the
coroner to declare that the girl had
been strangled to death. Strangulation
might have been the direct cause of
death. but Professor Ferguson has es-
tablished the fact that the young mis-
sionary worker was under the influ-
enCe of a powerful drug at the time
shu was strangled.

Married Teachers Dropped

PASADENA, July 13.-Despite the
agitation at the time of the school
board election a few weeks ago, the
list of teachers re-engaged for the
coming school year is shy, it is ad-
mitted by the board, six of the mar
ried teachers who have heretofore con-
Quoted their classes to the satisfaction
of the city. Three married women are
retained on the list. The school board
declines to make public the names OF
the teachers dropped but admits that
the three retained We're kept in office
because the board found their hus-
bands were not supporting them. In
cases where the husband of a teacher
was found to be working the teacher
was removed from the rolls and a sue
cessOr appointed.
The members of the board at first re-
fused to discuss the married teacher
question at all, but finally made the
statement recorded.
