SERGEANT FINED AND
SENT BACK TO BEAT

Desk Sergeant Samuel Mckenzie
was fined one months pay and ordered
reduced to the ranks to walk a beat
by the police commission last night.
At the same time charges against Pa
trolman A. w. Green of the traffic
squad were dismissed.
McKenzie's punishment grew out OF
the charges against Green, which were
preferred by w. M. Baxter of Alham-
bra. Baxter charged that Green had
arrested him unjustly for driving a
horse too fast on street intersection.
Mckenzie was the desk sergeant
who booked Baxter when he was ar
rested. and McKenzie's punishment
resulted from his statement to the
commission Monday night that he was
foo busy to grant Baxter's request TO
Telephone to some friends to procure
hail for him. AS a result Baxter was
locked up in Jail all night.
Commissioners Wellborn sharply re-
bnlxed Mckenzie for being too busy
fo attend~to the duties specifically I'M,
nosed on him by the police rules ana
regulations. But the reprimand, az
tb9,1gh severe, was not considered suf-
Gcient punishment and the fine ana
reduction to ranks was imposed.

RUN ON MEXICAN
BANK CONTINUES
HAMS INSTITUTION LOSES
CLEARING HOUSE AID
Hundreds of Depositors Crowd About
Windows, Eagerly Demanding
Their Money-Panic Is
Feared
Associated Press1

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 25.-The United
States Banking company was tonight
suspended from the clearing mousse
upon it's failure to make a settlement
of today's business.
BY a special arrangement the bank
was given until $3.50 tomorrow morn
ing to make good its deficit, which is
said to amount to 100000 pesos.
The run on the bank, which began
yesterday, continued today.
From 10 O'clock in the morning until
420 this afternoon, except for a lull of
an hour at midday, anxious depositors
crowded the lobby of the institution,
and five paying tellers were kept busy
The bank honored every check, and
it is estimated unofficially that fully
1000 900 pesos were withdrawn.
The crowd began to assemble half
an hour before opening time. When
the bank opened there was a crush
about the paying tellers' windows,
which soon increased to such an ex-
tent that it was necessary to convert
bookkeepers and receiving tellers
cages into paying tellers' compart-
ments. Many women were in the
crowd, and some were roughly Jostled.
The manager of the National Bank
of Mexico denies that the institution
was behind the United States Banking
company in it's present financial diff
ficulties, as was said by Mr.. Forsyth
last evening to be fact A Mexican
banking official said he believed the
Bank of Montreal would take care of
the situation.
Visits to other bankers elected the
information that a week ago they fore
saw the run on the United States
Banking company and had prepared to
meet any possible emergency. Cash
was piled high in the vaults of every
bank here.
George I. Ham, formerly president
Of the United States Banking COM
pany. and who until he turned over to
the bank practically all of his possess
sions, was the heaviest stockholder,
was not at the sanitarium, where yes
terday he was reported to have taken
refuge. He left early today and could
not be found.
The Mexican National Packing COM
pany. of which John w. Dekay is
president, and which is said to be a
heavy creditor of the bank, denied it
had gone into the hands of a receiver,
or was in any way affected by the sit
uation of the United States Banking
company.
kilograms from New York and other
cities in the United States and from
Mexico poured into banking houses
today. Most were requests for in
formation as to the possibilities of a
panic.

RACES BiPLANE
AGAINST DEATH
HAMILTON MEETS WITH MIS-
HAP OVER OCEAN
Turns AeropIane Toward Shore, Land-
ing Just Beyond Surf Line, Where
Machine Is Damaged by a
5arbed Wire Fence
Especial to The Herald.1

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 25.-Charles *.
Hamilton today raced his aero
plane against death when his magnetic
became damaged by water which
leaked from his radiator while the
aviator was flying above the ocean in
the Curtiss bfplane he has been using
at the meet in this city.
The daring aviator saw the danger
which threatened him when he was
several hundred yards from the shore,
and as he was descending rapidly he
turned his machine full about and
made toward the land.
Spectators watched his manipula-
tions with eager eyes, for they knew
something had happened amiss, as the
big bird-like craft was trembling like
wounded creature of the air, and 1t
looked as if machine and driver must
be plunged into the waters.
The aviator kept his place at the
rudder wheel, however, and did not
lose his head, and just as he reached
a point beyond the surf line his ma
chine touched the sand and simultan-
eously the biplane became entangled
in a barbed wire fence, which dam
aged one of the planes.
Hamilton was not injured. A high
wind during the afternoon had pre-
vented Hamilton from going into the
air, but at o'clock, in order not to
disappoint the crowds gathered for the
last day of the meet, he tuned up his
machine and started out over the
ocean.
1t was noticed the water was leak
ing from his radiator when he ascend
ed, and q minute later the spectators
saw him cireling low over the water.
He turned his machine, and with the
wind at his back, raced for the shore,
and came down just beyond the surf
line. A barbed wire strung along the
border of the golf links caught the
lower plane and brought the machine
suddenly to the ground with thud.
The damage is not serious.
Fails to Break Altitude Record
In his attempt to wrest from Louis
Paulhan of France the worlds record
for height reached in an aeroplane,
Hamilton aseended from the polo field
of the San Diego Country club on Cor
onado island today, and during ten
minute flight rolled and pitched about
at the mercy of the fitfuI wind until
he became seasick. The attempt was
unsuccessful because the biplane
would not rise in the puffy wind.
The intrepid aviator tried time ana
again to carry his aeroplane to a
greater liSASnt, ana was OLlOAi S"A ~
down on the wind instead of up. He
reached an altitude of 300 feet before
he descended.
After abandoning his effort to reach
a great height Hamilton made num-
ber of flights with passengers above
the polo field and out over the ocean.
Once he carried Col d. G. Collier,
director general of the proposed Pan
anna California exposition, and then
took as a passenger Mrs. Joseph Sef-
ton, wife of San Diego banker.
AT noon Hamilton announced that if

was removed and his position de-
~ clared vacant by the police COM
mission last night. The same resolu-
ton that removed Chief Dishman also
named Capt. c. H, Dixon as acting
chief to hold the position until such
time as a successor to Dishman can
be appointed
The resolution declaring the office of
chief of police vacant was introduced
by Commissioner Wellborn and sec
onded by Commissioner Johnson. The
vote of the commission was unani-
nous.
The resolution follows:
Resolved, that Edward f. Dish
man be, and he is hereby removed
from the position or office of chief
of police of the city of Los Angeles,
and said office is hereby declared
vacant Captain Charles e. Dixon
is hereby ordered as acting chief to
perform the duties and exercise the
authority of chief of police until
the appointment of a successor to
said Edward f. Dishman or until
the further order of this board.
The secretary of this board will
Immediately notify Mr.. Dishman
and Capt. Charles e. Dixon ac-
cordingly, and instruct said Ed
ward f. Dishman to turn over the
police department and all that per-
tains to it to said Capt. Charles q.
Dixon.
Pendegast Resigns
Following the action on the removal
of Chief Dishman Commissioner Well
born presented the written resignation
of Lyle Pendegast, executive secretary
of the police department. Pendegast in
his resignation stated he had been Sec
retary in the department since 1906 and
he realized the position was a confiden-
tial one and that he resigned to give
Chief Dishman's successor an oppor-
tunity to choose his own secretary.
While Pendegast's resignation had
every appearance of being entirely vol
untary, police commissioners had
strongly intimated that it would be
most acceptable and they were pre-
pared to insist on it,
The summary action of the commits
sion in removing Chief Dishlnan fol-
lowed Dishman's written refusal to re-
sign his position which was presented
to the commission yesterday
Last Saturday the commission asked
Dishman to resign to take effect Feb
ruary /. After considering the mat
ter several days Dishman concluded
to let the commission remove him.
Topham May Be Named
The failure of the police commission
to name a successor to Dlshman last
night leaves this question as far from
a solution as ever.
Sentiment is believed to be growing
in favor of Commissioner Topham for
the position, and when it was learned
yesterday that Topham was being
pressed to take the position the pres
sure was increased During the after
noon Topham had to run away from
the telephones to avoid prominent men
who wanted to urge him to take the
position of chief. At first Mr.. Top
ham absolutely refused to consider
himself a candidate for the office, but
so many have urged him to consider it
favorably that he has begun to think
seriously of the matter.
