SANTA MONICA DRlLLER
SUFFERING FROM TETANUS S

SANTA MONICA, Dec. IA case of
tetanus was developed here today by
Byron c. Thompson, a young oil driller,
who is being treated at a local hos
pital. Physicians In attendance enter

went on about his work. Yesterday
the pain became so unbearable that
he was compelled to go to the hospital

his suffering has been terrible.

PLAN TO BUILD AUTO
ROAD ON SEA FRONT
BOULEVARD PROPOSED FROM
SANTA MONICA NORTH
Will Extend at First to Santa Bar
bara and Later Be Con-
tinued to San
Francisco

SANTA MONICA. Dec. 17.-Plans are
being quietly laid for the construction
of an automobile boulevard along the
coast between Santa Monica and
Santa Barbara. This announcement
was made authoritatively tonight by
a resident of this city interested in
the project. A meeting of the men
who are active in formulating the plans
for the new highway is to be held be-
fore the end of the month, at which
time definite action will be taken
toward asking the cooperation Of the
county supervisors and highway COM
mission.
Several Los Angeles and Santa Mon
lea men are said to be behind the
scheme to build one of the finest coast
roads in the country. Among these is
Judge Joseph H. Call. prominent at
torney of Los Angeles and owner of
considerable property adjacent to the
route proposed to be taken by the new
highway, Judge Call is said to be
working zealously to outline the plans
in order to present them at the coming
meeting.
AS stated. the terminus of the auto
mobile road is to be Santa Barbara,
but the plans provide for its ultimate
Francisco. The road is to skirt the
cliffs and the beach along the Pacific,
cutting across the Malibu ranch and
passing into Ventura county, near
Hueneme, following practically a SINH
lar route to that surveyed for the
Malibu railroad, which is yet under
construction.
Excellent road building material Is
to be found along the proposed route.
according TO those who have travelled
over it. and it is considered the actual
expense to the county will be insignifi
cant compared TO the good the county
will derive from it when completed.
1t was not stated whether the entire
cost would be borne by the county, or
a portion of It be paid by the advocates
of good roads who are primarily in
terested in the project.
II is understood the Automobile Club
of Southern California is to play
prominent part in the work that will
be required TO be done before the auto
mobile boulevard will become reality.
The proposed road will lead through
territory where at present there are
scarcely more than bride trails. The
scenery along the way Is among the
grandest in Southern California.

and this evening Principal Ely states
that comparatively few Of the boys
have replied to the question in the
alternative. Just what is the proper

Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, Dec. 17.-Just as far
from a solution, so far as the public
knows, as ever is the Carlos Wright
mystery. The boy who disappeared
after prayer meeting at the Lincoln
avenue Methodist church last Sunday
evening has not been either directly
seen or heard from, according to the
family this evening. j. M. Wright
the father says he fears his son has
been killed and carried away or at
least, kidnapped by some enemy. Par
ties of friends have beeh searching
steadily and have found no trace
since the discovery of his overcOat
in the new Catholic cemetary nor has
any further word come from san
Francisco, from which was received a
telegram signed by a telegraph dis
patcher saying that the boy was all
right and would be heard from by
Sunday.
Left No Trace Behind
So far as can be learned the earth
might as we'll have swallowed up the
youth as he seems to have disappeared
into thin air after he jumped the fence
around the cemetary and started to
run up the road.
Sinister suggestions have been made
freely today but they seem to have
no very Qrm 1OunQdIlOn. II Is a ldCl
that the youth, apparently put his
affairs in shape as though for flight.
His motorcycle he borrowed money on
from a friend, Frank d. O'Neil, who
worked at the same place he did, the
Pasadena grocery. When he borrowed
this money he said he wanted IT to
pay another installment upon his
machine but, it is said, that instead
he applied it on a payment upon
real estate deal in which both he and
his father were interested.
No Love Affair Evidence
There is a growing belief on the
part of the public that Wright, for
reasons best known to himself, has
absented himself voluntarily. 1t is
even hinted that he may have been
disappointed in love, but so far no
corroborative evidence has been dis
covered.
Detectives are at work upon the case
both in Pasadena and elsewhere and
il is possible that any moment a mes
sage may come that the boy is found.
The father says that he will do every
thing he can to find his son, but he
has not yet offered a reward, though,
it is understood, he has employed de-
tectiVes to search for the young man.

Cannot HoodzVink Plain People Into IndorSing
Gross Injustice and Cruel Discrimination
From Tom watson's Jefrersonian.

The tone of wrath which rings in
the editorials of Mr.. Hoke's paper,
the Atlanta Journal, indicates that
the persecution of the pale sufferer
of the roller-chair is not being ac-
claimed as universally as had been
expected. But who could reasonably
have calculated upon the people of
Georgia being hard-hearted? How
came any Atlanta politician to be-
lieve that the plain folks could be
hoodwinked into endorsing gross in
justice and cruel discrimination?
Five senators were appointed to
investigate McLendon. Presumably
the five men who were selected were
in sympathy with Governor Smiths
act in suspending the commissioner
from office.
But after meeting the persecuted
man face to face and hearing him in
his own defense only enc of them
voted to uphold the governor. By
talking to them in the committee
room McLendon won over to his side
four out of the five senators who
were to act as his judges.
This significant fact carried con-
sternatiOn to Mr.. Hoke and his news
paper, and to the senators who trot
to Mr.. Smiths house and Office to
get their orders.
Consequently it was decided that
when the report of the committee got
back to the senate it should be rail-
roaded through without giving the
accused commissioner the rigAt to
be heard in his own defense.
Do the people of Georgia approve
of that kind of thing? To deprive
an official of his place and salary
is to take away something equiva-
lent to property. To say nothing of
the public disgrace put upon such an
official, he is deprived of a source of
revenue upon which he may depend
for the support of his family.
Is it fair to do this without allow
ing the defendant to go before the
jury and speak in his own behalf?
Will the people of Georgia sanction
such arbitrary and one-sided meth
DDS?
Governor Smith suspended Nc
LendOn for his refusal to give At
lanta jobbers special freight rates
which would have enabled them to
invade the territory of Macon, Sa-
vannah, Griffin, Cordele, Rome and
other towns. This invasion would
not have meant lower prices for the
people. 1t would have cut out other
Georgia towns from their natural ter
ritory, but nothing more. To secure
for Atlanta jobbers this unfair adj
vantage over the other towns of
Georgia Mr.. Hoke Smith, as an attor-
ney, had been paid a big fee He
lost his case before the commission,
and ought to have lost it.

COLLEGE BOY AND FATHER.
The ''Old Man" Gave His Son a Les
son in Latin Himself.

Among the old-time jokes our
fathers used to recite to us several
are recalled about recalcitrant boys
while off at college. One of theSe
youths upon his return home for va
cation found his fond father in the
lot carting out manure. John, &"
said the father ''how have you been
getting along with your Latin?"
First rate, father; first rate.
I've finished the reader and am in
Caesar now"
Holding up the spade he was using
the father asked
What is this in Latin, John?"
THAT in Latin is 'spadibus,
father"
And what is manure in Latin?"
"Manuribus," promptly responded
the brazen young rascal.
And what's the Latin name for
cart, my SOM"
''Cartibus, father; cartibus."
The old gentleman didn't think it
necessary to catechise John any fur
Their, so handing him the spade with
ceremonial dignity he said
''Johnibus, my sonibus, grasp this
manuribus Now do good workabus,
my dear Johnibus, or I'll thrash you
like hellibus."
The old man didn't send "Jhoni-
bus" back to college any more, as he
decided he could give him a good
practical Latin education at home.

FINEST DOGS IN THE WORLD.
For Which Society Women Gladly
Pay Hundreds of Dollars.

Think of a breed of dogs so deli
cate and sensitive that in this coun-
try, at least, cannot be taken out of
doors except in midsummer, unless
heavily blanketed. That is the case
of the Chihuahua, however-the toy
dogs of fashion. A full-grown ami
NAL of this breed can easily rest in
the palm of the hand, and has an
amiable and affectionate disposition.
The Chihuahua breed is distinct
in itself, and is not to be COMPOUNDED
with the long-haired, long-eared Mex
lean poodle. A remarkable fact in
connection with it is that when taken
away from Chihuahua and bred for a
time in any other district of Mexico
the progeny increases in size and be-
comes as the natives say degenerate
The pure breed weighs from one to
three and One-half pounds; the
smaller the dog the more valuable
In the British Museum a few years
ago there was the stuffed skin of a
female of this breed about the size
of rat, and as if to prove her of
mature growth beside her were two
pups about as big as mice. A pretty
custom in Mexico is to present one
of these tiny dogs in a bouquet of
flowers to an actress. Nine. Patti is
said to have received one of these
gifts.
Even in Chihuahua the dog is val
liable. The puppies bring from 5000
to $500, but the best specimens bring
even more. A certain society woman
paid $500 for her pet, a black and
white female weighing only a pound
and a half. She prizes her at So
900. Blanquita, another dog belong
ing to this woman, weighs only one
and one-third pounds.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-08-25

That started his intense dislike of
Joseph M. Brown. The case upon
which McLendon, Stevens and Hill
passed adversely was precisely SINH
lar to the one Lawyer Smith lost.
Those three commissioners decided it
just as the same issue had been de-
cided on three separate applications
before.
Was the decision right? 1t GER
tainly was, unless we claim that the
Atlanta jobbers are entitled to special
favors.
But if the decision was wrong why
punish only one of the three commits
sioners who made it? Why single
out the roller-chair invalid for sacri-
fee, and leave Warner Hill and Oba-
diah Stevens in office?
The Legislature has no moral right
to try the McLendon suspension case
on any other ground than that named
by Governor Smith That order of
suspension is the Indictment.
AS to the sale of the Athens bonds
there is no law against it. l think
there should be. If such a law is
made, and a commissioner violates
it, punish him by dismissal and other
wise.
But a thing which is not now for
hidden by law ought not to be pun
ished as a crime.
| have known Guyt McLendon
twenty-nine years, and l never in all
that time heard any body say that
he was not an honest man. He has
always and universally been regard
ed as a gentleman. He has been the
hardest worker on the railroad COM
mission. The good it has done is
largely due to him.
Had l been in his place | would
have ruled against those Atlanta job
bers, just as he did. l would have
tried to get a fair and equal reduc-
ton for all the towns of Georgia, as
demanded in the Macon platform.
And while l think it highly i'm
proper for railway commissioners to
be dealing in railroad securities OF
any kind there isn't a particle of evil
dence that the state was injured by
the Athens bond deal, or that it had
a blessed thing to do with the de-
cisiOn for which Governor Smith or
dered the commissioner out of office
In fact, Mr.. Smith declares that he
did not know of the transaction in
bonds at the time he lynched Nc
Tendon. But he and his newspaper
and his senators justify the lynching
by putting the bond matter in evil
dence.
1t is the same as though the grand
! jury should indict a man for stealing
cotton and the petit jury should con.
vict him of arsOn-which the grand
jury had not heard of when they
brought in the true bill for the lar.
ceny of the cotton.
