TURNS ON Gas TO
GET QUICK BATH.
Patrick Doherty Revived at the
Receiving Hospital After
'Monkeying' with Heater
POLICE BREAK IN THE DOOR
Failure to Apply Match Almost
Fatal TO Man Recently
from Mojave
POLICE BREAK IN THE DOOR

An attempt to get quick bath with
an instantaneous heater proved a slow
and painful ordeal to Patrick Doherty,
formerly Of Ireland and recently of
Mojave. who was treated in the receiv-
ing hospital yesterday after narrowly
escaping death from having turned on
the gas and neglected to light it while
waiting in the bathtub for the water
to heat.
Sure, and where ignorance is bliss
1t do be folly to monkey wild them new
tangled bathtubs," said Patrick, as
he was being revived at the receiving
hospital soon after being taken un-
conscious from the gas-fllled compart-
ment in a North Main street rooming
house.
From Pats experience of yesterday,
1t is likely that he will always take
cold baths In the future unless some
one else heats the water for him, for
it was while he was taking, or rather
starting to take, a hot bath that he
came in contact with the modern
heater which nearly resulted fatally
for him.
Pat rented loom in the rooming
house, and being tired and warm, de-
cided that he would refresh himself
with a cold bath. He was shown the
bathroom, and upon spying the heater.
decided that what he really wanted
was a hot bath. So he turned on all
the visible valves on the heater and
prepared to take his bath, never think
ing to touch a match to the escaping
gas.
From then until Pat was revived in
the receiving hospital he was in COM
municado with the outside world.
The landlady, passing through the
hall, detected the odor of gas coming
from the bathroom and Immediately
telephoned the police headquarters to
send the ambulance.
Within q few minutes the door had
been broken in by three burly police
men and Pat, wearing nothing but the
clothes furnished him by nature, with
the exception of tattoo mark on his
left arm, was literally dragged out OF
the tub and on the floor.
He was hurried to the receiving nos
pital and resuscitated after heroic ef-
forts on the part of the police sur
geons.
Although Pat Is reported out of dam
ger. 1t remains to be seen how he can
get back to the rooming house and get
his clothes without being arrested for
indecent exposure.

NEW YORK CHINESE TO
STOP WEARING QUEUES
Leading Merchants Will Discard
Tails at Festival of
Full Moon

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The celebra-
ton in New York's Chinatown next
Saturday of the annual festival of the
Full Moon will have at least ono unique
feature this year.
While the celebration is at its height
Ching Pah Chow, president Of the Chi
nese public chamber, and other leading
Chinese merchants of this city will cut
off their queues, anr thus sever the last
sign of superstition attached to their
persons. When Prince Tsai Tao was
here several months ago on his tour
around the world to study army organ
ization and problems a delegation or
Chinese merchants recommended to
him that the soldiers should wear no
queues, and should dress like Europe
ans. The prince thought so well OF
the suggestion that he cut his own OH
while travelling in Europe.
The prince has also recommended to
the throne that the cutting off OF the
queues should be uniform throughout
the Chinese army, and has received g.
favorable reply from the prince regent,
who is expected to direct all men ana
officers to discard the tails they have
worn from infancy.
Now the almost queueless members OF
the Chinese public chamber here In
sist that the rest of the members of the
chamber should no longer carry their
insanitary tails behind them. The
queues will all go on Saturday next

SAN PEDRO is TO
ASK IMPROVEMENT
Harbor District Citizens Will Pc
titiOn Council to Cut
Away Bluff
WORK MAY COST 100000
Residents Desire Uniform Street
Grades So Thoroughfares
May Open to Waterfront

SAN PEDRO, Sept. 16.-The biggest
Improvement of private property un-
dertaken in the harbor district is con-
templated in petitions that were placed
in circulation today asking the city
council to adopt a comprehensive and
uniform plan of street grades between
Sixth street and the outer harbor so
that all streets between Sixth and
Twenty-second streets, east of Pacific
avenue, may be opened to the water
front.
This Improvement would involve the
sloping of the bluff fronting the har-
Dor back to Pacific avenue, a distance
of four blocks, and the removal of an
enormous amount of dirt 1t is esti-
mated that work will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000 and it is pro-
posed to form an Improvement dis
trict to have the street work done.
The dirt onl lots would have to be re-
moved by private contracts. Those In
favor of the plan believe that the work
can be done while fills are being made
on the various concessions in the outer
harhor much cheaper than after the
harbor work is done. Unless arrange
ments can be made for disposing OF
the dirt close at hand the work would
be very expensive.
1t is expected that considerable op-
position to the plan will develop, but
those in favor of the improvement hope
that by a campaign of education a
majority of the property owners will
get behind the plan and refuse to
protest against the proposed change Of
street grades.
TO DIVERT BUSINESS TREND
1t is argued that this work must be
done or the growth of the business
district will tend north instead of its
natural tendency to grow south. AT
the present time the business is con-
fined to the territory that was origin
ally in a gulch surrounded by hills.
Gradually the business is growing out
of this hole and the hills have al
ready been cut back several times Mob
Hill, on the north side, is almost cer-
tain to be cut down now that the har-
Dor highway is to go through the hill
and property owners on the south
side, now exclusively residence sec
ton, fear that the business district
will spread to Happy Valley and the
site of Mob Hill unless the bluff is
sloped to the waterfront
Petitions are also in circulation ask
ing the city council to open road
along the line of the Los Angeles in
terurban road through the shoestring
strip, from the Long Beach and Re
dondo road to connect with Pacific
avenue at the north end of town.
Ranchers in west of the shoestring
strip have long been asking for this
road SO that they can get to. San Pc
dro. The owners OF the big ranches
through which the road would pass
have agreed to give the right Of way
provided their property is not taxed
to build the road.
The small ranch owners have been
paying city taxes since the shoestring
was annexed and getting nothing in
return and they desire that the road
be built under the cash act or some
other plan that would not place the
burden on those whom the road would
not benefit.

BIC CIRCUS EXPE NSES
ARE $4,000 EACH DAY
Enormous Cost Entailed in Con-
duCting Barnum & BaiIey'S
Extraordinary Show

Statistical data regarding the great
American amusement forms an inter-
esting subject. The Barnum and Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth, which ex-
hibits Tuesday and Wednesday, is now
in the fifty-fifth year of its existence.
That 1t has kept faith with the public
is evidenced by the fact that it occu-
pies the proud position Of being In
every way Americas colossal amuse-
ment enterprise, representing an actu-
al investment of $4,500,000. The aver
age daily running expenses reach $4,000.
One item alone will give the reader
some idea of the vastness of the propo-
sition. In the kitchen tent and canvas
dining hall food is prepared and served
to l10O persons three times each day.
There are more than 400 performers.
The 500 beautiful horses require the at
tention of 100 groomS, hostlerS, etc. "A
complete blacksmith shop, wagon fac-
tory, gas manufacturing outht-in
fact, all the industries of a small sized
city are necessary for the successful
maintenance of this monster snow.
There are twenty-eight distinct tents
in the city of canvas erected eacn DAY
for the temporary home of the circus.
The most interesting of these Is PROB
ably the three large stables, Verltaple
models of equine luxury.
The geological collection includes fiVe
herds of elephants, four droVes OF cam
els, the worlds rarest and most costly
collection of giraffes, hippopotamI, rhl-
noceroses more than 100 dens or WIG
beasts and a group of zebras.
In the arenic tent. where the per-
formances are given, are three circus
rings, two large stage platforms, an
immense hippodrome oval, innumeraple
aerial contrivances, and seating capa-
city for $1,000 spectators.
TO transport the paraphernalla or
this world of entertaining merriment
requires the railway equipment OF nve
fuil-length trains, all of which Is the
property of the Barnum and Bailey
management, railway companies fur
nishing only the engines and tenders.
One of the most interesting features
of circus day is the unloading and re-
loading of these trains. 1t is then that
the observer gets some idea of the
immensity of the undertaking. This
hercuIean task requires the services OF
200 men and fifty especially trained
horses. The work must be accom-
plished with the utmost care and cir
cumspection. The slightest detail re-
ouires diligent attention, all this In
guarding against possible accidents.
Then. too, speed is an essential part OF
loading, for the first section must pull
ont of the railway station at mid
night. to be followed at intervals or
thirty minutes by the other sections;
and when the last train has departed
circus day In that particular city Is
over for the year.
