THE CITY ELECTION
City Hall Bonds Carry With Good
Majority.

MalOtUy.
The city election Tuesday pas.
sed off quietly there being no
particular contention as far as
far as we could learn over any
the questions at issue. The vote

half the voting strength of the

tests for councilmen it would
scarcely been known an election
was being held.
The question of bonding the
city for a city hall met with but
little opposition and was carried
with a good majority.

HAPPINESS FOR PRINCESS
AT so CENTS ON DOLLAR
Leual Advisers Offer Settlement
of Braganza's indebtedness
Especial To The Herald.)

VIENNA. April 26.-Legal represen-
tatives of the Princess Braganza,
formerly Miss Anita Stewart, step
daughter of the late "Silent" Smith of
New York, have informed the creditors
of the prince that their claims will be
settled at so cents on the dollar. When
the prince married Miss Stewart his
creditors expected that he would come
into a large amount of ready cash and
that their claims would be paid in full,
but by the marriage arrangement
Braganza was permitted to handle but
little coin. Relatives and legal ad-
visers of the princess declare that they
will make the 50-cents-on -the-dollar
settlement only on account of the hap
piness of the princess, and that this
is the full value of such freedom from
worry.
The Braganza- Stewart marriage was
heralded as a love match and the
prince at the time of his marriage
was declared to possess a large for
tune, but in fact his Indebtedness is
enormous, and he is reported to be
much peeved on account of the par
simony with which Mrs. Smith, the
mother of the princess, doles out
money to him.

READS PHILOSOPHICAL
WORK; THEN ENDS LIFE

OAKLAND. April 26.-Austin shan
non. a son of State Printer w. w.
shannon, committed suicide in lodg-
ing house here today by cutting his
throat. He was last seen about y
o'clock this morning and when his
room was entered this afternoon Shan
mons body was found on the floor in
a pool of blood.
Living close to the body was copy
of David Starr Jordan's book, "The
Philosophy of Despair" which shannon
apparently had been reading just before
he killed himself
No cause for the act of Shannon can
be assigned by his relatives. He was
a young man of careful habits and was
not known to have any financial trou-
bles. For several years he had been
employed as a real estate salesman
with one of the leading firms of San
Francisco.
Shannon was prominent socially and
took one of the leading roles in the
recent society production of professor
Napoleon" which was given in San
Francisco in aid of charity.
The deceased was 2S years old and
unmarried.

PLEA FOR HELP LURES
MAN To ROBBERS TRAP

Lured from his wagon to a lonely
spot in a field adjacent to 470O Sunset
boulevard by the pretext that a man
was dangerously wounded and in need
of aid, Claude w. Barnhart, teamster,
was brutally assaulted and robbed OF
S54 by two men late yesterday after
noon.
How long Barnhart lay in the field
unconscious is not known, but about D
o'clock Yesterday afternoon Mrs. e. M.
Ross, wife of Judge Ross, who lives on
the Hancock ranch, noticed Barnhart,
his face covered with blood, and at
once telephoned to DR.. c. d. Baker,
4265 Prospect avenue.
When the injured man recovered con-
seriousness he first asked for his team
of horses, which were found grazing
along the roadside a short distance
from the scene of the holdup. A camp
cot was obtained from the wagon, and
Barnhart was carried to the roadside
and then to the receiving hospital,
where he was able to tell of the beat
ing and robbery.
He said he was employed by the Bar
ber Asphalt company, and yesterday
was payday at the office in Hollywood.
In the afternoon he started to drive to
his home, 916 Sunset boulevard, with a
load of hay, taking his pay in his
pocket.
As he was driving along the lonely
foothills a stoutly built man, evidently
a Mexican, stopped him and said a
friend had been dangerously injured
and was lying in the field near by. He
asked Barnhart to help carry the man
to a place where he could obtain medl-
cal treatment.
Unsuspecting, Barnhart left his team
and followed the Mexican across the
fields to where in a small growth OF
underbrush a man, apparently in great
pain, lay on the grass, his face covered
with a handkerchief.
AS Barnhart stopped to remove the
face covering, he was felled by blow
on the back Of the head, delivered by
the man who first approached him.
Barnhart, who is young and powerfully
built, did not lose consciousness, but
arose and grappled with his assailant.
The injured" man also engaged In
the fight, and a desperate struggle en-
sued. With the two men against him,
Barnhart was finally overpowered and
rendered unconscious by blow on the
temple with the butt of large re-
,volVer.
His pockets were then rified and his
pay envelope, containing $54, stolen.
Barnhart was unable to give an accu-
rate description Of his assailants other
than they were MeXicans, one of them

Angry She Bear
Mangles Keeper
Seeking Picture
Instead of Posing with Her Cubs
Animal Attacks Men and
Nearly Kills One

NEW YORK, April 26.-With his
body badly torn and mangled by teeth
and claws and his left arm almost torn
from it's socket, Richard Spicer, a
keeper at the Bronx park ZOO, was un-
conscious when rescued today from
the bear pit after a desperate struggle
with an angry bear
Elywn Sanborn, a photographer es-
capped from the pit with minor hurts
Patcha, a huge brown Russian bear
which had always been considered
mild became angered when Spicer at
tempted to make her sit up and pose
for picture with her cubs. Dealing
him a terrific blow with her paw, she
seized him by the arm and dragged
him into the den, clawing and maui
ing him.
Sanborn grabbed an iron bar and
rushed to the rescue of Spicer, who
was unconscious. Patcha turned on
him, but -Sanborn managed to fight
her off. His screams and the cries OF
a hundred spectators brought other at
tendants, who rescued the imperlled
man.

COTTON GROWERS PAY HIGH
PRICES FOR SEED NEEDED

NEW ORLEANS, April 26.-That the
southern planter is finding great diff
ficulty in securing desirable cotton
seed for a second planting was indi-
Gated by reports from Mississippi, Ala
bama and Georgia today
A shortage of seed was noted before
the cold wave. A great deal of seed
has already changed hands at $3.50 a
ton.
Much seed is being offered at $40
and $50 a ton f. o. b. New Orleans,
Montgomery and other points, but the
cheaper grades have been found so full
of dirt as to be almost useless.
However, few cases of eXtortion have
been reported in spite of conditions.
The oil mills and other concerns with
a supply on hand are gladly offering
to help ON the planters at cost.
Reports received today from Louis
lana and Mississippi indicate that
earlier estimates of the damage to
the cotton crop as a result of Sunday
nights cold weather were not exag-
gerated

NHICAGO, April 26.-Whatever the
/ cause, the storm that reached here
~ last Friday afternoon slowed down
to quarter speed in passing, got as far
as Lake Erie on it's regular eastward
route, fllrted for a day with a storm
that developed in the Caroinas, and
having induced it to join forces, has re-
yersed the natural order of things by
turning round and coming back.
1t is now centered over the lower
Michigan peninsula, where it was last
Saturday morning, but is moving slow
ly Chicagoward, and weather bureau
officials admit that they are stumped.
For the storm to turn around and come
westward after it once has passed to
the east is a circumstance so unusual
that even skeptical scientists are in
duced to canvass the possibilities of the
sudden approach of a large comet az
fecting atmospheric conditions. Why
the storm should turn around and come
back again after starting off on it's
usual track is a puzzle forecasters are
unable to answer.
Prof. Henry Cox, head of the weather
district embracing the states of the
Mississippi valley, traced out today the
unaccountable wanderings of the storm
now afflicting Chicago. 1t started in
Kansas ldSI InutSudy, anu pIoCcSuihS
eastward as usual, at high speed, was
centered in Western Illinois Friday
morning. Saturday morning the storm
center was in lower Michigan, while it's
schedule called for it to be in Ohio.
For the next twenty-four hours it made
almost no progress eastward, but there
was a second storm center which de-
veloped in the Carolinas. This south
ern storm started rapidly northwest
ward, the exact reverse of the usual
storm route. Yesterday the two storms
joined over Lake Erie and turned back
over the usual route.

HUH! ROOSEVELT
SEES A|RSHIP FLY
FOR FIRST TIME
AeropIane Travels $50 Yards,
Falls, and Aviator Has
Narrow Escape
GOLD MEDAL GIVEN TO TEDDY
Head of Academy of Sports Pre-
sents Gift at Conclusion of
Aviation FizzIe
ASSOCIATED Press ]


N ARTS, April 26.-For the first time
in his life former President Roose-
u welt today saw an aeroplane
flight. 1t was very short one, and
the aeronaut, Emile Dubonnet, had a
narrow escape from injury.
Col Roosevelt journeyed to Issy les
Moulineaux as the guest of the
Academy of Sports. There a large
crowd had gathered, including cabinet
ministers and noted aviators.
Unfortunately, a strong wind was
blowing and it seemed as though the
promised flight would have to be
abandoned.
Not wishing to disappoint Col. Roose-
velt. Dubonnet volunteered to go up in
the face of the gale He had recently
made a sensational flight over the city
of Paris, and it was thought if any
one could give a good account of HIM
SELF that man was Dubonnet.
The former president was deeply in
terested in every detail of the start
and he pressed forward as the machine
left the ground. 1t was evident, how
ever, this was no day for flying, and
the aeroplane had hardly gone $50
wards when it came down with a
swoop, almost capsizing as it struck
the ground. One of the wings was
broken. but Dubonnet was not hurt.
Col. Roosevelt rushed forward and
offered him his congratulations.
GETS GOLD MEDAL
Prior to his return to Paris, M. de
VilleneuYe, president of the Academy
of Sports, presented to Col. Roosevelt
as honorary president, the academy S
gold medal.
During the course of the afternoon
Mr.. Roosevelt received a deputation
from the French parliamentary group
for international arbitration, headed
by former President Leon Bourgeois
and Baron d'Estournelles de Constant
The latter, in addressing the former
president, said he counted upon Mr.
Roosevelt's influence in the holding
of a third peace conference at The
Hague.
TO this Mr.. Roosevelt replied that
his Influence could be taken for
granted, but" he added, ''you must
remember that 1 am now private
citizen"
After visit to the Luxembourg
gallery in the morning, Mr.. Roosevelt
was conducted to the famous revolu-
tionary prison in the wing of the
Palais de Justice, known as the Con-
ciergerie where he inspected the dun
geons, among others that in which
Marie Antoinette was confined prior
to her execution.
Ambassador and Mrs. Bacon gave a
dinner this evening of twenty-eight
covers in honor of Colonel and Mrs
Roosevelt.
one of the former presidents visitors
today was the Indian. prince, JagatJlt

thala.

BIG JEWELRY FIRMS
STUNG FOR 100000

PROVIDENCE, r. J., April 26-De-
velopments up to date indicate that
through a great swindle manufacturing
jewellers in Rhode Island and other
states have been robbed of goods val
ued at half a million dollars. Ten ar
rests have already been made in Ala
bama and Texas and one of the alleged
conspirators was ready to cross into
Mexico when he was taken into GUS
tody.
The scheme was to buy jewelry
throughout the country and ship it to
Montgomery. After that. the reports
say, dummy packages were sent from
a Montgomery firm to other stores
controlled by it. These were then
credited as the real shipments of val
liable goods and so listed. The stores
were then set on fire, it is alleged and
the dummy packages were listed as
lost assets by the firm in bankruptcy
proceedings.
