VIOLATING TRAFFIC LAW
j, c. Jensen Says It's Shame, as He
Was Trying to Escape
Car

TITS a shame to be compelled to have
to pay fine for driving faster than a
walk across a crossing" said ]. c.
Jensen, stable foreman for the Maier
Brewing company, when he was tried
in police court yesterday for a violation
of the traffic ordinance. IT make only
81 a day, and work ten hours a day at
that. 1 had to hurry up to escape be-
ing struck by car and am very care
full about crossing the streets"
But this witness who was sum-
moned by Patrolman Mosier says that
you trotted your team across the street
without any necessity for doing So"
said Judge Frederickson.
II am surprised at that man making
that statement" said Jensen. "Why,
l have known him for five years and
know him as well as my own dog.
There must be something back of this"

terday afternoon Morris asked to be
allowed to talk with Peatfeld, and
following his conversation admitted
the theft from his former friend and
gave an order on the property clerk
for $2 which. Morris said, was to be
credited to him on the amount he had
stolen.
The detectives saw Morris is the man
who has been visiting massage par
lors and endeavoring to induce the
women attendants to have improper
relations with him. A number of these
complaints have been made to the po-
lice, but they were unable to find the
man complained of.
Morris is said to have obtained an
average of $50 a month as a result of
his soliciting money from persons in
Los Angeles and adjoining towns.
When searched he had a number of
cards on his person to the effect that
he was general evangelist and
worked among the prisoners in peni-
tentiaries and jails. Printed on the
cards as references We're the names of
Rev. Mr. Nortl up, Baptist; Bishop
Mcintyre, Methodist; Robert Burdette,
Baptist; Rev Lindley Wells, Friends
church; Rev. Mr.. Barnes, st. Paurs

Hughes, Methodist,
Morris probably will be arraigned in

HAVOC IN FOREST
fires LESSENED
PROTECTIVE MEASURES ARE
OF GREAT VALUE
NUMBER OF 5LAZES GREATER,
BUT LOSSES MUCH SMALLER
During 1909 Timber Valued at About
100000 Was Destroyed,
Mostly on Forest
Preserves
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Fire, the
bane of the forest, played less havoc
in the woodlands of the national re-
serves last year than in 1908, although
the number of blazes was 410 greater,
according to statistics which have just
been compiled by the department of
agriculture.
By reason of the protective measures
adopted by the department, almost SO
per cent of the fires were eXtinguished
before as much as five acres had been
damaged; the fires covered less than
one acre and a half to the square mile
of national forest lands, and the dam
age done to the burned area averaged
$1.26 an acre.
For the year ended December 81 last
there We're 313S fires in the forests,
burning over in round figures 100000
acres, OF which about $4,000 acres were
private lands in national forests, as
against 100000 acres in 1908.
Some 17O,000,000 board feet of timber
was consumed, of which 33,000000 feet
was privately owned, against 30,00O,0Op
in the previous year.
The loss in value of timber was less
than $500, 600, of which about $4,000 be-
longed to private parties. The loss of
the year before was about $450,00O.
Damage to reproduction and forage
showed a remarkable decrease, less
than 100000 being the record for 1909,
and over 100000 for 1908.
Locomotive sparks were accountable
for more blazes than any other cause.

WHY 1T SPARKLES
PuritaS Distilled Water Is
Aerated with Pure Ozone

Much of the sparkle and zest which
makes Puritas such n delightful drink
ing water is due to its perfect aeration.
This process is the result of long study
and perfect appliances. Puritas is
aerated with pure ozone. A current of
electricity is passed through purified
air, turning it into ozone which is
forced into the pure distilled water.
The process illustrates the great care
we have taken to make Puritas Dis
titled Water a perfect drinking water.
Nothing that insures it's reaching you
an absolutely pure, wholesome, health
full product has been overlooked
We distill Puritas twice-two distilla-
tions are necessary to insure its pur-
ity. After aeration it is bottled in glass
demijohns so perfectly cleaned that
they are fit to receive chemically pure
water.
With all our care to insure a perfect
product, our price for Puritas is so low
that everybody can afford to drink
pure water-5 gallons cost but 4Oc.

PROPERTY OWNERS OPPOSE
STORM WATER DISTRICT
Supervisors Refuse to Grant lrWindale
Petition Signed by Ma
jority

The petition Of a number Of citizens
of Irwindale to the board of super
visors for the formation of a storm
water district in the vicinity of Azusa
was denied yesterday.
The matter was set for hearing yes
terdty. but when it was discovered that
the majority of the property owners
of the district were protesting against
1t the proposition was disposed of in
short order. After the protests had
been checked up Supervisor Manning
made motion that the petition be de-
MED and it was carried.
The petition for the formation of
the district was signed by twenty
one citizens, but the prOtestants num-
bered nearly thrice that number.
The formation of the district was
planned for the drainage of all the
waters of the two Dalton canyons and
the San Dimas canyon. The protestants
asserted that a large part of the prop
erty along the foothills that would be
benefited by tine formation of such a
district were not included in the dis
trict surrounding Irwindale.
The crowd which gathered in the Of
flee of the board of supervisors to pro-
test against the granting of the petit
tion was the largest that has come be-
fore the board for many weeks.

TWO ARRESTED BELIEVED
TO BE DESPERATE YEGGS
Walter Leffler and n. w. Bird Sus.
pected of Having San Franz
cisco Records

Walter Leffler and H. w. Bird, who
the police say are desperate yeggs
from San Francisco, We're arrested by
the police yesterday and locked up in
the city Jail. Leffler is accused Of
stealing S. from the clothing of an
engineer of an iron works near the
Santa F'e yards, and Bird is charged
with attempting to steal a ride on a
freight train and defraud the South
ern Pacific company out of the price
of his fare.
Both men are alleged to have passed
near the engine house and Leffler is
said to have yielded to the temptation
to steal the money from the clothes
of the engineer. A railroad employe,
who saw the men while they were
to board a freight train,
say the men were quarreling over a
division of the money.
The men probably will be arraigned

TARIFF REMOVAL
AIDS ISLANDERS
FILIPIN0S COMPELLED TO Do
WORK, SAYS OFFICIAL
TREASURER OF MORO PROVINCE
HERE ON VISIT
Natives Dislike Free Trade with the
United States but Meet New
Conditions with Renewed
Energy

The removal of the tariff from inn
ports and exports to and from the Phil
ippine islands has affected the United
States far eastern possessions for good
as nothing else could affect them ac-
cording to f. A. Thompson, United
States treasurer for the province of
Moro on Mindanao island, who is here
on his vacation.
THE removal of the tariff has done
one thing which no amount of legisla-
tion could have DONE" said Mr.. Thomp-
son yesterday at the Hollenbeck 1T
has awakened the natives to the fact
that they must get in and work and
progress a little if they wish to con-
tinue to exist. The natives fought the
removal of the tariff to the best of
their ability. The more educated of the
people realized the import of letting
American goods into the islands free,
and tried to avoid it. However, now
that they see their efforts were useless,
they are already beginning to hustle
and compete with the Americans.
THE great trouble with the natives
of the Philippines is that they dislike
to change anything. That was why
they wanted the tariff. The removal
of that meant that Mr. Filipino would
compete with outsiders. Naturally he
hated to do that He is making the
best of it now, and really doing very
well at it. Why, every newspaper and
magazine on the island is commenting
in current issues on the prosperity of
the islands.
Another thing the removal of the
tariff did which will greatly advance
the islands is to bring about the intro
duCtion of much new capital into them.
Just before I left for the United States
some investors bought up 5000 acres Of
tobacco plantations. Later it was made
public that it was the American To-
bacco company which had made the
purchase and that they intended to
buy up more land.
Almost at the same time several
thousand acres of sugar plantations
were snapped up by outside capital.
This purchase was also supposed to
have been made by individuals, but it
soon developed that the sugar trust
was the owner of it, and both these
great corporations are making ready to
develop the islands resources in the
tobacco and sugar industry"
Mr.. Thompson has lived in the Phil
ippines for the past twelve years and is
familiar with them. He
will retire from the Office of treasurer
June l and will then engage entirely
In the rubber and cocoanut business.
He arrived yesterday from Washing
ton, where he filed his resignation re-
Gently and will leave in a few days
for San Francisco to take ship from
here to the islands. He is accompanied
by his wife.

Clad in the vestments of a clergy
man of the Church of England, Will
liam Morris, who claims to be an
Fpiscopalian minister and a general
evangelist at penitentiaries and prisons
of the United States, was arrested by
Patrolman McCarron and locked up in
the city Jail yesterday on charge OF
petty larceny.
Morris. who admitted he had fallen
from grace and yielded to the tempta-
ton to get drunk and associate with
women of the underworld, emphatical-
ly declared he is a regularly ordained
minister and that illness caused him
to seek drink as a remedy for his ner-
vousness. He denied that the money
he received from various business men
in Los Angeles was used for any other
purpose than to help the poor and
needy.
The specific charge against Morris is
stealing $40 from Frederick Peatfeld. q
horse dealer, while the latter was
asleep in his room at the Hotel Water
Vile several days ago.
Peatfield, who sWore to the COM
plant against the self-styled clergy
