MAN HURT IN AUTO

HOSPITAL FIVE WEEKS
Accident Caused by Rut in Road and
Not from Any Defect in the
Steering Apparatus

PASADENA, May Sit will be
nearly five weeks before E. T. White,
the business man of Los Angeles,
whose automobile plunged over the
Arroyo Seco bank from the ScoYille
hill road, will be able to leave the
Pasadena hospital.
Automobiles who have seen the
car, a Tourist, since it was hurled
from the Arroyo Seco's bank today
are amazed that the party of six es-
capped with so few injuries and those,
too. of so slight a nature. The tOnneau
and driving seat is gone, but the ma
chinery was not wrecked from it's con-
tact with the rocks and trees through
which it plowed a path In IT'S 100-foot
roll.
The marvel of the escape of the
women and children is increased in
viewing the scene of the accident by
daylight. 1t was learned today, when
the wreck of the machine was inspect
ed, that it was through no fault Of the
steering apparatus that the accident
happened. Mr.. Leach. who was driv-
ing, took a short cut in the shape Of
a disused road, over which traffic has
been suspended because of its danger
Gus grade. In coming from this back
to the main road, which is on the
very edge of the chasm, his wheels
caught in a rut washed out of the road
by rains and leading over the edge
and before he could wrench the front
wheels free the machine was over the
edge and started on its plunge into the
depths 1t was recovered after much
exertion today by the Tourist people.

wooDrLL-HuLsg TEAM WINS

The Woodill- Hulse baseball team
yesterday afternoon got the goat of
the Covina aggregation, who have been
claiming the Suburban league cham
pionship by embarrassing the country
boys by a score of to 0. The electric
workers got fourteen hits off the deliv-
cry of the country pitcher, while the
Covina nine secured five bingles. Err
rors made by the Los Angeles players
We're three, while CoVina was chalked
up with five. Pitcher Miller for the
winners famed seven while Russell
for the losers made eight of his oppo-
nents pound the air for his benefit.
Manager George Covert says that, not
withstanding the fact that the Woodill-
Hulse team defeated Them he is still
willing to make a wager that the Edi-
son team cannot get their goat, as
their regular lineup failed to appear,
because Old Sol was king of the day,
and he did not care to take any
chances of his players getting sun
struck, thereby putting them out of the
game for harder contests.
The sporting editor is waiting for one
of these enthusiasts to make good on
their deposit, as they argued pro and
con for the past few days and nothing
done AS one of the Edison players
said last Sunday, George, l defy you
to knock this chip off my shoulder"
Hereafter baseball will be played on
the diamond and not through The Her

LIFE GUARDS RESCUE
FIVE AT LONG BEACH
MANY PERSONS VENTURE INTO
ROUGH SURF
Three Men Who Were Caught in Un-
dertow Are Picked Up on
One Trip of the
Boat

LONG BEACH. May 31.-Hundreds
of the thousands who visited Long
Beach today were tempted to go in the
ocean. and as an unusually rough surf
prevailed the life guards were compelled
to exercise more than ordinary dill
gence. They watched the bathers all
the time with marine glasses, and a
small boy stood in the station tower
waving a red flag of warning.
Three men who were unable to get
out of the undertow were picked up this
afternoon at one trip of the boat by
George Falla and AL Ebrite, the guards,
and were landed at the outer wharf.
Two of the men were swimming to-
gether beyond the breaker line The
third man rescued was one of two men
whom the guards passed as they were
on their way out to pick up the two
farther on. The two nearer shore said
they needed no help, but when the boat
returned one of them had changed his
mind.
The guards did not get the names of
the men nor those of two who were
helped out. This morning there were
numerous tiderips and a strong cross
current. That more accidents did not
occur was due to the continual vigil
lance of the guards.

Plans of Secretary of Agriculture Call
for Systematic Going Over of
National Timber
Holdings

Through the establishment of six
district headquarters in the west the
work of the forest service has ad-
vanced so far that it is now possible
to undertake a thoroughgoing exam
ination of national forest boundaries
and an inquiry into the character Of
any interior areas which may appear
to be not suitable for national forest
purposes. In a letter to the district
forester at San Francisco Forester
Pinchot says:
plans formulated here last winter
and approved by the secretary of ag-
riculture call for systematic and
complete going over of all national for
est boundaries during the present field
season. The work which you have
been constantly doing in this direction
is along the right lines, but the plan
adopted calls for more concentrated
effort in this work throughout the
service during the coming summer.
With the field force at your command
and your close knowledge of local con-
ditions and of the national forest Of
ficers you can so organize this effort In
your district as to insure thorough
going over of your part of the $4,000
miles of national forest boundaries by
competent men, whose reports as to
the character of thu land within and
without the f.rests and whose recon-
mendations as to lands which should
be excluded or included, checked by the
information already possessed by the
forest service, can be relied on.

that the quality of the work must be
unimpeachable.
"This work should all be completed
nv the close of the present field season,
and each district forester should at
that time be able to vouch for the COR
rectness of the proposed boundaries of
his forests. If, however, there are
changes recommended by examiners
which YOU feel are questionable, such
cases may 70 over for checking until
the next field season, in order that no

Other measures of great Importance
and which will prove of lasting bene-
fit to this community as well as to the
state at large We're the bills designed
to enable the city to acquire under
lease such portions of Agricultural park
as it may be able to obtain from the
directors of the Sixth District Agricul-
tural association as place for the eX-
hibition and development of the agri-
cultural, botanical and horticultural
products and interests of Southern Cal

for fifty years are permitted under
these laws, and it is believed that the
way is now open to create a splendid
public ground in the nature of a park
out of the long neglected tract of land
known as Agricultural park.
