SAN PEDRO, March ALI efforts to
recover the body of Lester Elkins, the
21-year-old aeronaut who was drowned
yesterday afternoon in the outer har-
Dor after having made a spectacular
balloon ascension and parachute jump,
have thus far proved unsuccessful.
A search along the bulkhead on the
east side of the channel was made

Much criticism is heard on every
hand against L. L. Hill, the owner OF

stranger to him, to make the ascension
and provided no boat or lookout on the
east side to render assistance shohl6

Hotel Proprietor Continues Previous
Course, Having Many Local Res
ldents on His Side

MONROVIA, March "a. Z. Cronen-
welt and H. G. Brownfield of this city,
who were arrested on Saturday last on
the charge of selling liquor Illegally,
pleaded not guilty today before Judge
Evans. The two cases will be tried
next Monday. Within fifteen minutes
after his arrest Cronenwett, who is the
proprietor of the only hotel here, was
again dispensing wet goods to all who
applied.
Mr.. Cronenwttt has been selling
liquor in a small buffet and has not at
tempted to run a wide open bar. Many
of the citizens are in hearty sympathy
with his attitude, as first class hotel
cannot be made a paying investment
without at least a table license.
A hundred thousand dollar hotel was
talked of some time ago for this city,
but the project finally fell through,
owing to the fact that no liquor license
could be obtained. Arcadia being in the
immediate vicinity, strictly dry town
is an impossibility.

 "I wonder if this mean Charlie War ren will do as well, unused Bonnie as she was dressing her hair preparatory to making round of appeals for her charity.
 An hour later she stood face to face with a small but very oficious office boy,
 "Nr. Warren don't see no ladies in office hours 'cept by appointment" he informed her, .. "WelI, suppose you announce me-" suggested Bonnie, with dignity.
 "Ain't you got no card" persisted the boy.

 "He says he'll see you, miss. Come right ln."

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is lnflamed you have a rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the rseult, and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur, faces.
