CHILEAN PRESIDENT ILL;
ON HIS WAY TO EUROPE

NEW YORK, July 23-The Spanish
American colony here has been specu-
lating for some time regarding the
visit which President Montt of Chile
is soon to make to this country. He
sailed from Santiago July and will
arrive here early in August.
The fact that no announcement was
made as to the exact purpose of the
long trip gave rise to many theories to
account for the executives action. 1t
became known today, however, that
the truth of the matter is that Presi-
dent Montt is i'll and is going abroad
for treatment.
Just what ailment the Chilean chief is
suffering from, or how serious is his
condition, is not known.
He will remain a few days in this city
on his way to Europe. On account of
the state of his health there will be
no elaborate entertainments in his
honor

eral hundred others, McHugh was
thrown out of work when operations
on a big dam at Yuma closed, and he
arrived in Los Angeles with $1.60.
He reached Los Angeles Friday
morning and the first thing he did was
to break his hand on a negros jaw
The negro was annoying a little Mexi-
can girl and this aroused McHughs
ire, with the consequence that fight
Immediately occurred in which the ne
gro cut McHugh slightly in the neck
with a knife McHugh broke his hand
by hitting his assallant in the face.
That afternoon McHugh secured q
position passing handbills. In the
evening he went to the county hos
pital and had bone removed from the
hand by a doctor. Sunday blood pol

around all Monday looking for work.
After buying a meager supper with
his remaining cash he applied to the
Salvation Army for a bed, having heard
that a nights resting place could be

COUNTY OFFERED LATEST

Rapid strides in the improvement

Frank d. Hudson of the firm of Hud-
son & Munsell, architects for the new
hall of records, with a request that the
Llewellyn Iron works be allowed to
substitute three new style Simplex
pumps for those specified in the orig

1t apears that the Llewellyn COM
pany is the only one which can fur
nish the improved pumps, but the
matter was referred to the district
attorney for an opinion as to whether
the substitution can be made legally
without advertising for new bids.
The elevator contractors furnished
figures showing that the substitution
can be made without increasing the
original estimate, provided the county
accepts an allowance of $2050 for two
old pumps now in use. The cost of
the Simplex pumps will be $780,

$4,000 Carnegie Gift Hinges on

Members of the Pomona College cluh
have embarked upon an active CAM
paign OF assistance to President James
II. Baisdell of the Claremont college
in his efforts to raise $130,000 for col
lege purposes prior to June %. Upon
their success depends conditional gilt
OF $4,000 from Andrew Carnegie. The
college trustees already have pledged
personally $4,000 of the required
amount leaving a balance of $4,000 to
be secured before the date named. In
cidentally, II the money Is raised, Po-
mona will benefit by being the only col

tee were named Llewellyn BiXby, Grey

Personals About
We'll Known Folk

Mr.. Asquith is the only lawyer who
has been prime minister of Great Brit
ain in 500 years. He has, according
to the newspapers, "aged visibly" dur
, ing the past six months and it is evi-
dent that he takes his politics more
seriously than the case-hardened band
of legal lights whom Mr.. Taft has sur
rounded himself with in washington.
They do not worry.
The gentleman who is widely her.
aided as the successor to the late Mr.
Harriman-his name is Hawley-is
small, pallid and taciturn. He dons not
smile nor drink nor smoke; his one
passion is poker. This he plays when
ever possible and his private car is
specially fitted with poker table and
comfortable arm chairs. Here it Is
rumored he sometimes smiles, but the
man with the other hand doesn't.
Governor Hughes of New York ap-
parently owes a great part of his fame
to his whskers He is known affec-
tlonately as THE Animated Feather
Duster," 1.-THE Human Broom" "]he
Sweetheart of the Wind" etc, etc.
Nearly all the cartoons which are
printed of him-and they are exceed
ingly numerous-throw the whiskers
into great prominence. Above them
are the inconspicuous and unknown
features of the governor. BY his whis-
kers he is known.
It is said that Kitchener, the chief
hired man of the British army, has
never smiled. He is q melancholy
looking Scotchman with a savage ex-
preston beneath his corrugated brows
and he has taken life so seriously that
| the lines of earnestness and determin-
alton are cut half an inch deep in his
face, but the lines that are formed
| by grins, dimples and smiles are not
there. He's a sad looking duck, even
for a Scotchman.
There is something pathetic about
Mr.. Bryan's complaint that ne is
growing too fat. He would, doubtless.
! find a. sympathetic listener in build
| ing of conspicuous whiteness In WASH
ington and If Bryan and Taft do run
on opposite tickets they will have a
fiat mans race" in earnest. Neither
one of them can deny the fact that
he Is woefully overweight. Both wob-
! BILE nowadays-personally as veil as

! Let us pause before rejoicing over
| the news that young Waldorf Astor has
promised TO give all Lne ihoney IHde
! will ever be needed to the cause Of
curing tuberculosis in England. The
Astors are Dutch and the Dutch are
never reckless. Young Astor is Brit
ish subject, soldier of the king and
a defeated candidate for the house OF
commons. In the army he's known as
"Stingy Astor." No Astor has ever
been a spendthrift in cnarity or Joy.
/ Waldorf is immune.

And speaking of spendthrifts, what
about our aged friend, John D.? He
recently begged congress to let him
give away billion or so and the coun-
trv was so grateful that wave OF
gushing gratitude swept over it. EV-
erybody thanked John with yelling
tears and he was finally, II somewhat
blasphemously, acclaimed "the ambas-
sador of Cod in his own church.
Meanwhile he has given-nothing. And
we have given thanks.

BUDGET RElNTRODUCED BY
CHANCELLOR LLOYD-GE0RGE
Attributes Decrease in Whisky
Sales to Extra Duty

LONDON, April 19.-David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer,
reintroduced last years budget in the
house of commons today. He declared
that he realized that the present deficit
of $1S1 ,240, 900 would be more than wiped
out when all arrears had been collected
and that there would be an actual
surplus of $14,S00,000.
If the budget had been passed as
usual last year, he said. there would
have been o. surplus of $21, 100000. The
chancellor commented on the remark
able decrease OF 80 per cent in the con-
sumption of whisky, q decrease that he
attributed mainly to the extra duty
imposed. The lessening of the revenue
from spirits as compared with the es-
timated figure was $14,00O,000.
