DEATH SAID
TO HAVE BEEN ACCIDENT
Evidence Presented to Coroner's Jury
Indicates That Miss celine 5orde
Fell from Pier
Especial to The Herald.l

SANTA MONICA, Jan. 6.-Coroner
Hartwell held, a double inquest this
afternoon at the Todd morgue over
the remains of D. NJ. Gooding, killed by
a Los Angeles-Pacifc car yesterday,
and Miss Celine Borde, whose body was
found on the beach twenty-seven miles
north of this city last Sunday.
1t took the jury only few minutes
to return a verdict of accidental death
in the case of Gooding.
Although it had been the opinion of
many here since Miss Borde disap-
peared on the evening of December II
that she took her own life, no evidence
was found at the inquest to substan-
tiate this theory and the jury deciued
that she was the victim of accidental
drowning. Witnesses testified they
saw a woman answering her descrip-
tion pass onto the municipal concrete
pier the night Miss Borde failed to re-
turn home after a walk, and it is sup
posed she fell from the pier while the
tide was going out. She was a teacher
in the San Luis Obispo schools, and,
following a severe illness. was here
visiting her sister-in-law, Mrs. Rose
Borde, proprietor of Hotel Windemene,
when she met death.

of the poisoned pears, was suffering
from poison. Late tonight, however,
the physician in charge of the case
said death was due to bronchial .pneu-
monia. This is the fifth death in the
Garcia family since the fatal Sunday
dinner.
The other four of the Garcias, in
cluding the mother, two sons, Frank
and Alfonso, and daughter, Ramona,
are among the eleven ptomaine VIC
tins who will be laid away tomorrow.
It has been asserted that little Vir-
ginia ate none of the canned pears.
Late tonight DR.. w. H. Parker, who
attended the baby at Hotel Palms,
said that at first the baby appeared
to be suffering pain and manifested
great drowsiness. both of which could
be taken as symptoms of the presence
of poison. Later there were symptoms
that made it seem evident that death
was caused by pneumonia brought on
by exposure when the little one was
left to shift for itself while death was
claiming the rest of the family.

CONDITION OF MRS.
PRECIADO SERIOUS
Especial to The Herald.l

SAWTELLE, Jan. 6.--The condition
of Mrs. Preciado, twelfth member of

symptoms of ptomaine poisoning from
eating canned pears, was precarlous
tonight, according to DR.. G. w. Peck,

are present and he fears Mrs. Preci-
ado's chances to pull through are not
of the best. He said this evening:
''Without a doubt Mrs. Preciado is
suffering from the effects of pto-
maines, which are noticeable by a
tightening of the muscles in the throat
How serious her case is 1 am unpre-
pared now to state. The state of
mind she is in resulting from what she
has gone through in the past three
days is working against her. She is
receiving constant treatment to pre-
vent, if possible, the work of the pto-
maines."
Mrs. Preciado is not supposed to
have eaten much, if any, of the poi
soned pears.

LIFT OF STORAGE BATTERY
Dry Devices Have Many Uses Where
Relation Of Weight to Normal
Output Is Important.

Storage batteries have many uses
where the relation of their weight to
their normal output in electrical en-
ergy is quite important. says Popu-
lar Mechanics. For instance, any We
hicles propelled by storage batteries
must carry the dead weight of these
batteries. and the less this weight is
in proportion to their output. the less
energy will be spent in moving the
batteries themselves. The last two
decades have shown decided decreases
in the weights of such batteries. but
how about the so-called dry batteries l.?
What Improvement has there been In
