ERRING SON FAILS IN
EFFORT TO EVADE TRIAL
Scion of Wealthy Oakland Family
Must Answer Charge of
Robbing Widow

SAN BERNARDINO, April go.
II. Scott, charged with embezzlement,
was today defeated in his second eff
fort to secure his release through ha-
beas corpus proceedings. Judge Bord-
well of Los Angeles denied the petl-
tion of the prisoner.
Scott is alleged by Mrs. Anna b. Ma
rean, a wealthy widow of Del Rosa.
to have embezzled two diamond rings
valued at $2000 and $1,000 in money lie
was arrested in Salt Lake City and re-
turned to San Bernardino.
At Salt Lake City he made his first
attempt to secure his freedom by ma
beas corpus and succeeded, but was
again arrested on the charge of being
fugitive from justice. On his ar
rival here he sought his release by al
leging that If a crime had been COM
mitted it had been committed in Los
Angeles county. An amended COM
plant again placed him behind the
bars after his momentary freedom.
His second effort here resulted In
failure. His attorney last night ar
gued before Judge Bordwell until past
midnight. District Attorney Byrne
and Attorney F. B. Daley, who repre-
sents Mrs. Marean, appeared for the
prosecution.
This morning the hearing was con-
tinued and Judge Bordwell decided that
Scott must face the superior court to
answer to the charge.
The prisoner is the son of wealthy
Oakland family and expense is net be-
ing spared to secure his release.

RESORT AND AUTOMOBILE
OWNERS DREAM HIGHWAY

SAN BERNARDINO, April 30.-A
free automobile and wagon road, ex-
tending from San Bernardino north to
the summit of the mountain range at
Skyland, along the crest through Pine
crest, Squirrel Inn, Little Bear valley,
Fredalba, Big Bear valley, and down
the Santa Ana canyon to Redlands, Is
the dream of the owners of prominent
mountain resorts and automobilists Of
the San Bernardino valley.
The road, if made accessible for au-
tomoblles, would be the grandest drive
through mountainous regions in South
ern California.
An enormous stride toward the realiz-
alton of this plan has just been made
by the board of supervisors, which body
has taken over the toll road extending
from Fredalba to Big Bear valley, a
distance of nearly seventeen miles.
The chamber of commerce of San
Bernardino last night adopted a resolu-
ton commencing the action of the su-
pervisors in acquiring the toll roads in
the San Bernardino mountains.
F. j. Culver of Forest Home is about
to start the building of a road up Mill
Creek canyon, above Redlands, to that
resort. 1t is planned to make the road
less than a per cent grade. This road
can be included in the long scenic drive
that local men believe is to become a
reality.

TEN-YEAR- BOY FIRST
TO PRACTICE 0STE0PATHY
Shut Off the OccipitaI Nerve and
Cured His Headache

NEW YORK, April So.-There is living to-
day in a little mud-smothered town in the
middle west a man 81 years old who thought
a thought, says Grace MacGowan Cooke in the
Delineator. Andrew Taylor Sill the founder
Of osteopathy. was born in Virginia, but in
his early childhood taken by way of Ten
nessee to Missouri.
Here he grew up amid the primitive STIR
roundings of a western pioneer. Children,
more often than is supposed. think thoughts
of their own; but this boy held to the habit.
He began at 10 years old to find out things
In his own way. Swinging, once. till he gave
himself sick headache, he lay down on the
ground under the swing, put his head across
the rope, which was slightly cushioned with
a bit Of blanket, and went to sleep, to awaken
and find his malady cured.
Unlike most people, who would have set the
recovery down to choice or to the few minutes
sleep, the child recognized the source of his
relief and followed that treatment for twenty
years, without guessing that the pressure of
his rope-pillow on the back of his neck had
suspended the action of the great occipital
nerve and given harmony to the flow OF the
arterial blood in the temporarily congested
head.

PASADENA WILL HAVE
ANOTHER BOND ELECTION
Winners in Recent School Issue
Favor Giving the Voters a
Clearer Issue to Consider

PASADENA, May Ito show their
interest in procuring a new polytechnic
high school for Pasadena number OF
residents in the northwest section who
opposed the school bond issue in the
resent election held meeting last
night and appointed l.. e. sherman,
Carl c. Curtis, John Dubbs 9. N, Perry
and A. j. Toolen as a committee to wait
on the board of trade directors at the
earliest possible date and request them
10 call a mass meeting of voters to
arrange for calling another school bond
election at once.
1t is thought if the proposition comes
from the board of trade as a disln-
terested party that the school board
and those who did not agree with their
plans, which were recently defeated
can get together on SOME plan agree
able to all.
Tentative plans for the mass melting
are to ask the board of education to re-
omen the question of asking for pond
issue to build a new polytechnic high
school and advertise for competitive
plans for building to accommodate
1900 students at a cost not exceeding
$3.50 900. bids to include specifications
with a complete list of equipment for
the technica features with the cost Oh
the same.
1t is further suggested that the board
advertise for site within a certain
radius of the center of population, the
cost not to exceed $4,000, and tnen
show through the press complete llst
of furnishings to equip the building and
their cost; full report of tools needed,
with the cost and make; the cost of
important machinery and power needed
and other details.
1t is thought by the promoters that a
proposition can be formulated which
will require practically no campaigning
and which will be simply question of
forrnality at the polls after the plans
are finally settled on.

THEIR MASTERS VOICES
INITIATED BY ANIMALS
French Professor Says Domestic
Animals Have Reasoning Power

PARIS. April 30.-According to Profes-
sor Lepinay, man is not the only rational
animal" In the philosophical sense. His
long researches into the habits of dom este
animals have convinced him that they have
a certain amount Of reasoning power, that
they often act upon reflex notions, and can
associate ideas from which they draw in
ferenCes. He developed this theory in
lecture which he delivered at the new
dogs and cats home near Rueil, where sew
eral hundred animals-pets abandoned or
lost by their owners during the inundation
are sheltered. Dogs. and still more so
cats, he says. learn to initiate the voice
and movements of their masters or mis-
tress. He has noticed old watchdogs who,
when they barked had a peculiar intona-
tion, which resembled the voice of their
master. Cats. he asserts. try by the way
in which they cry to make their mistresses
understand exactly what they want. This
selves to the level Of human beings.
It is well known that dogs. cats and
birds, when they have become very familiar
friends, understand the meaning of certain
words and perfectly and obey a command
or intmation without its being accompanied
by any gesture The intelligence of a
bird may well be compared to that Of a
little child. II strange canary is put into
a cage full of others they at once cease
chipping singing, ana all the birds stop
to look at the newcomer. This is clear
display Of intelligent curiosity. After a
while they get around the intruder and IL
is not rare to one Of the birds slyly
pick a feather out of It and bound away.
This is just to tease IT, as boys in the
playground of a school would do 10 new
conner.
The professor does not believe that the
so-called learned animals of circuses may
be taken as good examples of intelligence.
with them 1t is more matter OF haDlt'
whereas with a cat or a dog using a pc
culiar cry for having a door opened or get
ting food is, according to him, more
clearly defined case OF an intelligent effort
to attain an end. His conclusion, at any
rate. is that the power of a certain simple
kind of reasoning and reflex thought must
be admitted to exist among animals.

BALTIMORE CANNED GOODS
MARKET IS NOT CHANGED
Twenty Thousand Hands Will Be
Employed in Season

BALTIMORE, April 30.-The opening
of the canned goods season about May
l will not bring with it an increase in
the prices of canned commodities. It
was learned from a reliable source yes
terday that although the cost of liv-
Ing has increased to great extent
within the past two years, canned
goods will sell at the same prices
which have prevailed in this city for
the past twenty years.
The opening of the season will mean
the employment of about 10000 hands.
Most of these people live in the imme-
diate neighborhood of the packing
houses located on the waterfront, near
Canton hollow. The majority of these
workers are of foreign extraction and
the only ability required is that they
be able to use their hands adroitly.
About twenty years ago Baltimore
was the center of all the canned in
dustries lin the United States. The in
crease in consumption and the popu-
larity of canned goods has manifested
itself in the west to such an extent
that canning houses have sprung up
in that section and are supplying the
demand. Baltimore, which formerly
supplied four-fifth of all canned goods
used now furnishes only about one
fifth of the amount.
This decrease of figures does not
mean that there has been decline in
the output here, for Baltimore retains
the distinction of being the leading
canned goods center of the world and
its exports in these products have
doubled within the past ten years.
1t is not generally know that that
delectable edible, spinach, has been
canned extensively for the past five
ri M ole mir n n
this vegetable by the latest improved
machinery removes every particle of
grit and has caused an enormous de-
mand for this canned product from all
parts of the country.
The season will begin with the ad-
vent of the luscious strawberry and
will be followed in turn by peas, string
beans, raspberries and pineapples, and
will conclude with tomatoes. Four
fifths of all canned tomatoes consumed
in the United States and Europe are
packed in Maryland and Delaware. Up
to within fifteen years ago green peas
were packed entirely in this city, but
today it is a small product, for the
western cities have given their entire
attention to this particular branch of
the canning industry.
Speaking in this connection, John S.
Gibbs, senior member of the Gibbs
Packing company, said peas are
handled only in small quantities in this
city, as for some unaccountable reason
the west is making speciality of this
product. Baltimore may well feel
proud Of the position it occupies in
the canning industry. Its position as
the leading city for canned goods has
remained unchanged and there Is no
fear that it will ever lose the firm
hold 1t has In this line"
