BABE IS CRUSHED BY
BIG HAY WAGON; DIES
Tot Gets Away from Mother;
Man Drives Over Body
and Escapes

SACRAMENTO, July 1O.-While a
score of people looked on Mortified, too
shocked to utter a sound of warning
even if it would have helped to do so,
baby Andrew Noone, the 2-year-old son
of A. p. Noone, street car motorman
1922 p street, was run over and fatally
injured by a hay wagon driven by an
unknown man at the corner of Twenty
fourth and p streets shortly before I
o'clock last night. The babe died four
hours later.
Only the piercing screams of the
baby's mother gave warning of the
tragedy that was to happen, when she
saw the fast driven wagon bearing
down upon the little boy who was
laughingly running away from her.
No one thought to look at the man
who had so recklessly driven over the
tiny body and no one realized at the
time that the driver, seeing the horror
he had wrought had whipped up his
horses and hastily disappeared,

AGED MAN FOUND
DROWNED IN LAKE
Body, Standing on Feet on Messy
Bottom, Is Discovered
by Boys

While suffering from a fit of men,
tai alteration, W. H. Richardson, So
years old, wandered away from the
home of his daughter at 1902 De Frees
street late Saturday night and com
mitted suicide by drowning in Silver
lake reservoir, short distance from
Glendale. The body was found in an
upright position in ten feet of water
late yesterday afternoon.
The discovery was made by two
small boys, Norman Hendrickson Of
S46 kensington road, and Albert Jones,
who lives in Edgeware road. The lads
were walking along the banks of the
lake when young Jones saw the head
of the victim beneath the water The
boys made a further investigation and
when they found it really was body
both became frightened and hurried
away to report their find.
A representative from Bresee Broth
ers' undertaking establishment was
sent by the coroner to bring the body
to Los Angeles. A boat was procured
and after much difficulty the body was
towed ashore. 1t was found that the
victims feet had been entangled in the
heavy moss which covers the bottom
of the lake and his body was held in
an upright position.
Richardson had been mentally I'M
balanced for some time. He had been
a patient in a sanitarium and several
weeks ago was released. He then made
his home with his son-in-law, George
Hope, of 1902 De Frees street.
Saturday night the old man retired
shortly before o'clock. Later a mem
Der of the family had occasion to en-
ter the room and found he was miss
ing. The police We're notified and the
relatives began search for him.
The coroner probably will hold an
inquest this afternoon.

FEAR LATIN-AMERICAN
STATES MAY COMBINE
Diplomats Watch Fourth Con-
gresS at BuenoS AyreS

WASHINGTON, July 10.--Diplomatic
Washington is awaiting with interest
tl.e outcome OF the fourth Pan-Ameri-
can conference in progress at Buenos
Ayres.
Threats of a posscible Latin Ameri-
can coalition to nullify the Washington
governments influence have been
treated lightly by the state department,
which, however, along with the other
governments, is watching develop
ments closely.
The United States delegation to the
conference is under strict instructions
to avoid being placed in a position of
undue prominence in the selection of
officers and committees.
The object, as viewed by the state
department, is harmony of differences
in detail, substantial agreement and
cooperation along common lines.
The conference is contemporaneous
with the anniversaries of the indepen-
dence of several South American re-
publics.

EASTERN CHEMISTS ARE
SIERRA MADRE GUESTS
Local Club Provides Entertain
ment for Visitors and
Shows Them Sights

Eastern chemists on their way to
San Francisco to attend the American
Chemical society convention stopped
over in Los Angeles yesterday and were
the guests of the Sierra Madre club.
The eastern delegates arrived in Los
Angeles at an early hour yesterday
morning and were met by Sierra Madre
club members and also by local mem
bers of the chemical society.
At $50 o'clock they were taken to
Long Beach in a special car over the
Pacific Electric line. The visitors en-
joyed themselves to their utmost, and
when the afternoon waned were loath
to leave the beach. They were then
escorted to the Sierra Madre club,
where they We're extended a hearty
welcome the first experienced by
them in California.
Dr. w. d. Bancroft, president Of the
American Chemical society, and pro-
fessor of physical chemistry in Cornell
university, responded in behalf of the
fasteners and stated that Los Angeles
is the most beautiful and progressive
CITY which has been visited by the
eastern delegation on its trip to the
bay city.
This society is the largest chemical
society in the world, having a member
ship of over 5000, and its roster con-
tains the names OF men of worldwide
prominence.
A buffet luncheon was served the
guests in the Sierra Madre club dining
rooms and at midnight large delega-
ton of club members accompanied the
visitors to their special train.

BUYING At LOW PRICE
HASTENS SPECULATION
Break at Opening of Week Is At
tributed to Death of
Fuller

NEW YORK, July 10-Fnnancial
markets last week continued to reflect
the apprehension felt over the general
business outlook, but further drastic
purging TO which the stock speculation
was subjected left that market so far
relieved as to bring into question its
further movements.
The evidence of influential buying at
low price levels FASTENED speculative
sentiment and built up hOpefulness.
The break in prices at the opening
of the week was attributed directly to
the death of Chief Justice Fuller and
to a feeling OF dissatisfaction with
adVices Of the banking situation in the
interior Some of the lowest prices Of
the year were recorded at the decline.
In the iron and steel trade the with
drawal of consumers from the pig iron
market, while regarded as presaging
further curtailmeut Of production, was
due to a refusal of further price con-
cessions by producers. In this was
seen a promise that regeneration was
at hand.

DAM PROSPECTS MAKE
FARM OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Proposed Construction Stimulus
to Agricultural Develop
ment in New Mexico

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The prep
arations of the reclamation service for
the construction of the big Engle dam
have given a great impetus to agri-
cultural development in that part of
New Mexico, according to statement
issued by the reclamation service.
The increase in the value of lands in
the first unit of the Rio Grande pro-
ject, it was said, has been taken as an
indication of prosperity throughout the
irrigable areas.
Under the Leasburg diversion last
year 22,500 acres were irrigated, and
the acreage this year, it was said,
doubtless would exceed that amount.
The value of land under cultivation at
present varies from S100 to $500 per
acre and that of raw land from $50
to $50. AS a comparison, it was pointed
out that the value of the land under
cultivation at the time of the pre-
liminary survey was $50 to $40 per
acre and that of raw land So to So
The majority of the land is now in
the hands of Americans it was added,
while previous to the advent of the
reclamation service it was controlled
by farmers of Mexican extraction

fifteen miles from st. Louis, early this
morning.
Three men were arrested as suspects

1t was o'clock this afternoon before
news of the attempted holdup reached
the city, and detectives were imme-
diately assigned to the case.
Engineer Quinn, through a ruse,
prevented the baggage car and pas
senger coaches from being looted. The
bandits at the point of revolvers COM
PEELED the engineer and fireman to de-
scend from the cab and go with them
to the baggage car to assist in un-
coupling it. While tinkering about the
coupling the engineer and fireman
managed to slip away in the darkness.
The two started on a run for the
cab. The bandits soon became aware
that the crew was dashing for the
cab and opened fire.
Springing into the cab, the engineer
threw the throttle wide open and
dashed away with the train.
Five miles further on, at Spanish
Lake, Quinn rang up o. C. Hill, yard
master of the st. Louis, Keokuk &
Northwestern in st. Louis, and told
him of the attempted robbery.
Several shots were fired during the
attempted holdup and the passengers

The train was in the hands of the
bandits forty minutes. For half an
hour they tried to uncouple the bag
gage car. 1t was not until they found
themselves unable to do the work that
they got the engineer and fireman.
According to railroad officials here
there was $4,000 in the baggage car in
addition to the mail, which was I'M
usually heavy.
