E. L. COVERT DIES FROM
CHRONIC HEART TROUBLE
Relatives After Search Find Body
on Home Porch

LONG BEACH, July Sc. L. Covert,
55 years old, q resident of Long Beach
for fourteen years and formerly resi-
dent of Whiteland, Ind, was found
dead on the porch Of his residence, III
East Stanwood avenue, at o'clock
this morning by relative who had
been hunting all over town for him for
an hour. Friends saw him leaving the
Pike at o'clock last night, after hav-
ing watched the fireworks. He said he
was going home. At o'clock his wife
telephoned her husbands brother, DR..
A. 7. Covert, that her husband had not
come home and that she could not
understand his absence. DR.. Covert
called out Josiah Sharp, a brother-in-
law of the dead man, and they hunted
in the downtown district for the miss
ing relative. On going to the residence
to report they had not found him they
almost stumbled over his cold body.
He had fallen as he mounted the first
step, probably four and one-half hours
before. Heart failure is believed to
have caused death. Years ago Mr..
Covert suffered with an affection Of the
heart, though recently he had appeared
quite well.
He was a prominent real estate dealer
and property owner and was leading
member of the Presbyterian church.

PaSadena'S Quiet-Loving Citizens
Decide Calm Expression
of Patriotism Best

PASADENA, July 6.-That the sue
cess of Pasadena's sample safe and
sane Fourth of July celebration as
sures the permanency Of the observ-
ance of Independence day along those
lines in this city was the unanimous
opinion of board of trade officials and
others interviewed last evening. The
unofficial reports of committees place
the receipts for the day at $500, most
of which came from the sale of re-
served seats in two sections of the
grand stand at Tournament park, ad-
mission to the grounds and the balance
of the seats being free. 1t is said that
amount, and that probably a small
amount will be left as a nucleus for
next year.
One of the prize balloons which was
sent up from Carmelita Fairgrounds
in the forenoon was found in Linda
Vista By Burton Baxter, 120 North
Lake avenue, and he redeemed the

balloon to Linda Vista on his bicycle
with another boy on the handlebars.

found at Piedmont drive and Los
Robes avenue in North Pasadena.

PASADENA DRIVEN MOTOR
MAD BY JULY 4 RACES

PASADENA, July 6.-Members of the
Pasadena Motorcycle club seem to have
gone motor mad since the races Of the
Fourth of July. The merits of the
various machines and the riding quail
ties of the winners have been almost
continual topics of conversation among
gas bike enthusiasts since long before
the races on Independence day.
The last two events on that day are
the cause OF a revival of the talk with
added fervor. Raymond Austin, who
took second place in a Reading-Stand-
ard in the five-mile race for stripped
stock machines, claims that slight ac-
cident in the sixth lap lost him the
race David Kinney, who defeated Aus
tin with an Indian and who in turn was
defeated by Austin in the free-for-all,
claims that the loss of a mechanical
intake lost him the latter event. Ennis
saries for the two riders were kept
busy yesterday relaying that line of
talk back and forth between the two
rivals, with the result that a match
race is said to be almost a certainty.

STARTS A SUIT To KEEP
LIME DUST FROM ORCHARD
Plaintiffs Charge That Trees and
Crops Have Been Ruined
by Flying Particles

SAN BERNARDINO, July 5.-What
is said to be one of the most unusual
suits in the history of California started
today in the superior court before
Judge Bledsoe, with A. Hubert and
Spencer E. Gilbert of Cotton seeking
to enjoin the California Portland Ce-
ment company from allowing its lime
and cement dust to escape into the
atmosphere to subsequently settle in
the orange orchards about the cement
works.

lime and cement dust has killed their
trees and ruined their crops.
The dust from the cement works
spreads out for several miles over
orange groves near Cotton.
The outcome of the suit is watched
with interest by fruit growers in this
