JAIL BREAK LEADER
TRIES CLEVER RUSE
A. j. Coryell DeceiVes Court with a
Plausible Story, but Later Is
Trapped and Con-
fesses

SANTA ANA, Dec. 2S.-Arrested here
III last Saturday night, A. J. Coryell,
wanted in San Bernardino as the lead
er Of a successful jail-break at that
place on December 21, thought he had
made q clever getaway yesterday fore
noon when he fooled Justice Smith
wick with a good story about his name
being Graham and that he had been
working at Orange for a month past
To back up his yarn he showed n re-
ceipt for house rent on Palmyra street,
Orange. He also showed a boil on his
arm. That boil partially helped in his
undOing later. However, the story
worked, and he was given his liberty
at IL o'clock.
At noon a card was received from
Sheriff Raiphs of san Bernardino, on
which was Coryelps photo and a de-
scription of the man. which included
a boil on the arm. The picture was
also the photo of the pseudo MIR. Gra-
ham OF Orange, and Immediately chase
was made for the smooth deceiver.
He was overhauled at Also station,
where he thought he would make a
run for freedom, but two dangerous
looking revolvers aimed at him
changed his mind. on being taken
into custody he confessed his identity,
and said he had picked up the Gra-
ham receipt in orange as he was pass
ing through. He was taken to San
BernardinO this morning.

LOS FLORES RANCH Is
SOLD TO VICTOR SMITH

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 2S.-The
Los Flores ranch was today transferred
to Victor Smith, general manager of
the Arrowhead Reservoir and Power
company, by II. +. Harris, and the deal
is believed by many to be step toward
the prevention of litigation over inter
ference by the company in the water
rights of the MojaVe river watershed
The ranch contains about 5000 acres
Of land and is one of the best properties
in the county, controlling valuable wa
ter rights that would be interfered
with, it is stated, if the plans of the
Arrowhead company are carried out
The property was formerly owned by
the late John a. Cole of this city, and
many of the fastest horses of the state
were raised here. 1t was purchased by
II. +. Harris and others, and accord
ing to the papers filed today, was sold
within a month after that sale to the
Arrowhead Reservoir company.
For months both parties have denied
that any steps had been taken by the
Arrowhead Reservoir company to Sc
cure control OF this and other lands
along the Mojave river. the water of
which the power company desires to
divert presumably TO its reservoir at
Little Bear valley.

citation
Especial to The Herald.l ]

PASADENA, Dec. 8.-"Everything' S
in fine shape at Tournament park ex-
cept a little inside fencing has to be
DONE" said President George P. Cary
of the Tournament of Roses associa-
tion tonight. I'VE have room enough
on the new infield to accommodate
twice as many vehicles and automo-
biles as we did last year and l think
that we can get q third more people
into the grounds than ever before and
put them where they can see the
chariot races and sporting events.
Entries are coming in tine-we got
five or six good ones this afternoon,
and everything looks favorable to
making the tournament for 1910 the
biggest success in the history of the
association"
The official route for the parade was
announced this afternoon, there being
but one possible change and that one
of little Importance save to people who
live out on the east side. The parade
will form on South Orange Grove ave-
nue. and move northward toward Colo
rado street at exactly 10:30 o'clock
Saturday morning. At Colorado street
it will turn east and go to Fair Oaks
avenue and then it will turn south to
vineyard street. 1t goes west oll
Vineyard just south of the Hotel Green
and again turns, this time north on
Raymond avenue. When The parade
reaches Colorado street and Raymond
avenue it will turn west and go to
Fair Oaks avenue, where it will turn
north and go to Holly street. At Holly
it will turn east and go to Raymond,
when it will turn south on Raymond
and go to Colorado. At Raymond and
Colorado the parade will then turn
east on Colorado and 60 out to either
Wilson or Mentor avenue, whichever
street work now being done will permit
being used, and the line will then turn
south TO Tournament park.
This makes the line of march form
a big letter 50 through the business
district. Many of the visitors crowd
down to this district until it is impos-
sible to move about or properly see
the parade. If the visitors will go
either east on Colorado from Marengo
avenue or west of the same thorough
fare, west of Delacy street, much
better chance TO witness the pageant
will be obtained.

PROSPECTOR BURIED
BY AN AVALANCHE
Body of Well Known Man Lies Be-

and May Never Be
Recovered
Especial to The Herald ]


SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 2S.-E. A.
Harrington, prospector known
throughout San Bernardino county,
lies buried beneath tons OF earth and
snow and his body will probably never
be recovered. He was swept from a
mountain side by an avalanche while
inspecting mining claims on the Lundy
hills, in the Crystal lake country OF
Nevada.
Although warned by other miners
and prospectors Of the danger of ven
turing into the region covered with a
heavy fall of snow, Harrington per-
sisted in making the inspection of the
claims which he proposed to purchase
from Pat Reagan.
When he failed to return a searching
party was started in search, and in
the path of an avalanche which had
swept down the mountain side was
found the last trace of the missing
prospector. The slide was over three
quarters of a mile wide and the snow
and earth was piled into the canyon
below to the depth of 100 feet. The
search was continued but no further
trace was found.

AERIAL CRAFT TO
ATTACK WARSHIPS
SAN PEDR0'S AVIATION PLAN
is PROGRESSING
Chamber Of Commerce Committee APP
pointed to Have a Night Set
Aside for Novel
Affair
tsnocial to The Herald. l


SAN PEDRO, Dec. 2S-If the plans
of the San Pedro chamber of commerce
do not mlscarry one of the most spec
tacular and interesting features OF
Aviation week will be pulled off at
Los Angeles harbor.
A special meeting was held this even
ing and committee appointed on ways
and means, the unanimous opinion
being that no stone should be left un-
turned that will secure one day-or
rather one night-of the big attraction.
1t is planned to invite the dirigibles
and the aeroplanes to make q night at
tack on war vessels which will ma
neuver off shore but in plain view of
the thousands of sightseers who will
line the bluffs overlooking the harbor.
1t is stated that the United States
revenue cutter Perry is ready to as
sist in the spectacular exhibition. Roy
Knabenshue has often stated that he
could take his dirigible out over q war
ship and drop a bomb onto its decks
and escape without being caught.
OF course the bomb used would not
explode, but the effect would be the
same and the utility of airships in time
of war OF as peace protector would
be proved.
The revenue cutter, torpedo boats or
other craft engaged in the test would
undertake to pick off the oncoming
airships by the aid of their powerful
searchlights. The game would be
highly interesting and most spectacu-
lar. The chamber of commerce believe
they have a winning proposition and
one that should receive the indorse-
ment of the whole of Los Angeles and
the Aviation week management. Thou
sands of people would be brought to
the great harbor and an advertisement
of the future commercial Importance
of Los Angeles as a seaport would be
made. The committee appointed by
President T.. L. Blanchard will get
down to business early tomorrow and
try to land the big event here.

FIREMEN RECEIVE WRONG
ADDRESS; HOUSE BURNEC

PASADENA, Dec. 2S.-Coincidences
are peculiar things, but the combina-
tion which caused the complete de-
struction of an Alhambra house by
fire this afternoon has set a new rec
ord for this variety Of happening
The Pasadena fire department received
over the phone a message that a house
was burning at 42S South Mentor ave-
nue.. hurried run to that spot
showed no fire at all except the one
in the kitchen range.
Detective Schultz investigated the
case and found that the attempt Of an
Alhambra man living at 42S South
Marengo avenue in that city TO notify
the Alhambra fire department that his
house was ON fire had gotten on the
Pasadena instead of Alhambra tele-
phone exchange. Both cities have
streets of the same name, so the un-
fortunate property owner waited in
vain for help and his house burned
TO the ground.

REDLANDS, Dec. 2S.-Dr. c. II.
Lashlee, although somewhat fearing he
may be placed in the nature taking
class tells a story of the strange cap
ture of a quail Sunday. He was riding
his motorcycle in the San Jacinto dis
trict when near by he heard a gun
shot. At the same moment bird flew
out of the brush, and evidently in its
fright lost the sense of sight. 1t col
lided with the cycle and became lodged
between the feed and oil pipe, and was
there held a prisoner. Although this is
still the open season for quail, DR..
Lashlee concluded that he would be
taking an unsportsmanlike advantage
of the bird by killing it, and instead
released it and allowed it to fly away.
