seated as the same or similar to that
in which another girl had been posed
for picture in Los Angeles. This
other girls picture had come into the
possession of the local police after she

girl up, Phillips found where she had
the picture taken.

HUMANE SOCIETY OPENS
WAR ON CATS AND DOGS
Unsatisfactory Experience with Pre-
Vious Dog Catchers Prompts
Members to Investigate

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 5.-The Holly
wood branch Humane society is max
ing a crusade on dogs and cats in this
city and has taken up the matter with
the city trustees. The work will be
carried on in connection with the regu-
lar dog catcher, who is to be appointed.
The crusade is headed by Mrs. Philo
j. Beveridge and other members Of
the Humane society. The society
claims the work of former dog Catchers
has been very unsatisfactory, as the
ours were left to roam at will and only
the blooded dogs were taken in. They
claim also that the identity of dogs
has been difficult to determine because,
as they allege, the dog catcher changed
the appearance by clipping the ears,
using dye and other means. cats are
also getting too numerous, according
to the society.
The Pasadena plan of notifying the
owners of dogs to pay their license
within a certain time or stand fine
will be followed, and no favors will be
shown.

NEW PROSPECTORS ENTER
DISTRICT AT MONROVIA
Interest in Prospect In Saw Pit Cam
yon Continues Unabated-Work
on Lease Is Pushed

MONROVIA, Aug. 5.-Gold excite
ment over the Witch Hazel mine,
which DICK Monroe is prospecting, mas
in no wise abated. on the contrary,
many new parties have recently gone
into the hills in search Of the precious
metal.
Notable among them was a party of
prospectors from San Fernando, who
believe they know where there is a
large quantity of gold bearing ore in
Fish canyon, about two miles from
Monroyia. The san Fernando men
were in the canyon several years ago
and discovered a large vein of gold,
but did not believe at the time that
the streak would pay to mine.
Recent operations, however, have
persuaded them to try their luck, and
the party will probably bring back with
them small quantity of the ore for
assay purposes.
Meanwhile Monroe is pushing the
work in Saw Pit canyon, and a large
hill has already been entirely cleared
of brush. Tunneling will probably be
begun by Saturday, and with every
probability of success, according to the
members of the company.
Research throughout Los Angeles has
as yet failed to reveal the original
papers which contain the accounts of
the ore taken from the Witch Hazel
mine.

SAN PEDRO, Aug. 5.-The light
house board of the department of COM
merce and labor at Washington will
receive a request signed by all of the
captains of vessels entering this port
from the north, showing that no fog
signals are in operation south of Point
Conception, and that the whistling
buoys often fail to work on account
of the smoothness of the sea.
The opinion is expressed that bell
buoys would serve the purpose better,
but that on the headlands of Anacapa
island and Point Vincente there should
be steam or compressed air whistles.
1t is also urged that revolving light
should be installed at Point Vincente
and a light and fog whistle at the end
of the brealIwater here.
A large number of master mariners
have already signed the document, and
others will do so as soon as they come

she told the police tonight in the emer-
gency hospital the young woman has
for three years been more or less under
the spell of the Holy Rollers. She
says she has tried to escape from them
but is restrained partly by their power
over her and partly through love of
the teachings they promulgate.
Recently she either became engaged
to a man in the north. or thought she
was, for today she declared he had
married another woman and that she
was ready to die of grief. She says
that mennber of the order took care of
her and induced her to go to a room
in the lodging house. Once there she
became frightened and screamed for
help. When the police reached her
and took her from the room she sud-
denly turned on them, knocking one
of them down and threatening flight.

POMONA, Aug. 5.-The Pomona Busi-

the matter of asking the city trustees
to repeal all the former ordinances gov

doing business here, as these contain
many weak points. They would then
pass a new law which would be clear
and explicit and better protect the local
merchants against outsiders coming
here and doing cut rate businesses for
a few days and then leaving.
