EXPRESS COMPANY SHOWS
PUBLIC ITS EQUIPMENT
invader of Local Field of Freight
Carriers ParadeS Wagons
in Los Angeles

The American Express company,
which has entered the local express
field by means of the Salt Lake rail-
road, paraded it's new delivery wagons
and working force through the prin-
cipal streets of Los Angeles yester-
day There were 21 wagons in the
line, and with the officials in charge
OF the local offices of the American
company leading the way, they drove
through the city in order that business
men and those having occasion to call
on them for service might become
acquainted with the company's equip
ment.
While they have not arrived in Los
Angeles yet, two motor trucks will
soon be in use by the company between
Los Angeles and Santa Monica, Ocean
Park and Venice. The American COM
pany is determined to cover Southern
California as thoroughly as possible,
and in order to do this will install
motor truck service wherever com
munications by rail cannot be secured.
In this first instance, the Los An
geles Pacific company, the only rail-
road having direct passenger connec-
tlons with the beaches mentioned are
limited to carrying Wells-Fargo ex-
press only and the American company
could not transport its consignments
over that line. For this reason motor
trucks had to be resorted to and these
will begin service within a short time.
There will be two trucks In service
at the opening of operations, and they
will make two trips a day from aSd to
the beach points. Headquarters for
the American company at the coast
will probably be maintained in the
same office as the Salt Lake company's
new ticket office on Pier avenue.

PAINT CONCEALS NAME
ON LOST BREAD BOXES
Driver for Baking Company Ar
rested on Complaint of
Local Firms

The paint wore off a number of
bread boxes, revealing them in their
true colors, and as a result w. H.
Jones, a driver for the Buffalo Bak-
ing company, 1646 Tennessee street,
was arrested yesterday on a charge OF
petty larceny.
Jones arrest may reveal the hiding
place of several hundred wooden crate
bread boxes which disappeared from
the Bradford Baking company, the
Goodhue Baking company and the FL.
Jevne company. These firms are
the complaining witnesses against
Jones.
The Bradford company lost about
300 OF it's boxes, while the Goodhue
management lost about twenty. The
Jevne company could not state its
loss although positive some of its
boxes have been stolen or mislaid. The
boxes are valued at 81 each.
When the boxes began to disappear
in wholesale lots, detectives were en-
gaeed to delve into the mystery.
One discovered that the heavy,
opaque red on the boxes of the Buffa-
10 Baking company covered another
name. Under the red was disclosed the
yellow paint used by the Goodhue
company. The use of a knife showed
the name of Goodhue on the boxes
and also the number. Several boxes
of the Bradford company are said to
have been found in the same disguise.
Several Of the boxes have been left
at the depot of the Pasadena Electric
express and Jones was sent for them
by his company. When he arrived he
placed them in the wagon and drove
off, not noticing the scratched paint.
He was halted and taken to central
police headquarters. Before Police
Judge Williams he pleaded not guilty.
He asked for a jury trial and this
was set for September %. He was re-
leased on $50 cash bail,

ENDS LIFE BY DRINKING
POISON AT WESTLAKE PARK
Man Destroys CIeWs to Identity
Before Committing Suicide

Destroying, apparently, every clew
to his identity, a well-dressed man
about 25 years old, committed suicide
in Westlake park early yesterday
morning by swallowing quantity OF
cyanide of potassium. The body was
discovered by Patrolman Cook near
sixth and Alvarado streets. He notified
Coroner Hartwell, who had the body
removed to the Pierce Bros morgue,
where an autopsy will be performed
this morning by Dr. George V. Camp
bell.
There was nothing on the mans
person whereby he could be Identified.
The laundry mark had been cut from
his shirt and collar, and the initials
in his hat and the brand of the
maker had been cut out. There were
no scars. disfigurements or distinguish
ing marks of any nature.
The man was dressed in dark gray
suit, and wore black and white shirt
and a black slouch hat, A spark plug
was found in one Of his pockets which
suggests he may have been chauffeur
or employe in a garage. In leather
purse found in his pocket was fifteen
ounces Of cyanide and cheap watch
chain.
Unless the body is identified by rela-
tives of the suicide it will be buried
at the expense of the county.

BALDWIN HEIRS TO
PAY s247,0OO TAX
Inheritance Levy on Estate of the
Late Capitalist Largest
in States History
APPRAISER FILES REPORT
Values Property of Dead Horse
man at $11,488,311-ReIa-
tives Receive Big Sums
APPRAISER FILES REPORT

II. A. Unruh, executor of the estate
of e. j. (Lucky) Baldwin, was ordered
yesterday to pay into the office of the
treasurer of Los Angeles county i'm
mediately $247,000 as California's In
heritance tax on the estate of the late
multi millionaire. The order was en-
tered by Judge Rives in the probate
department of the superior court, and
tho sum fixed is the largest ever al
lowed the state as inheritance tax. The
action was taken after the filing or q
report by James H. Faulkner, ap-
praiser, fixing the value of the estate
at the time of Baldwin's death at $l1,-
ass, ,311.46.
According to the appraisers figures
the amounts the chief heirs Will re-
ceive and the Individual inheritance
tax to be paid, excepting those already
settled, follow:
Clara Baldwin Stooker daughter, $5,-
936,504.44 and $113,92413; Anita Bald
win McClaughey, daughter, $S,911,-
S04.44 and $114,67413; Dextra Nc
Claughey, granddaughter, $191,5349S
and S3S7312; Baldwin McClaughey,
grandson, $191,534,9S and $387S12; AL
ert Snyder, grandson, $191,534.9S and
sSS7S,12; Rosebud Roble Mullander,
granddaughter, $191, ,534.9S and $424S.12;
and Lillian Bennett Baldwin, widow,
SI46, $50. sc and $2691.66. These figures
are not official, Judge Rives not yet
having passed upon them, but they
are believed to be approximately
what he will order.
Faulkner was appointed official APP
praiser of the dead turfmans mil
lions April 27, 1909, in order to deter
mine Just what sum was due the state
from property which at that time was
unofficially estimated to be worth not
less than $25,000,000.
DEBTS ARE HEAVY
This $247,0o0 is not fixed as the COM
piete tax, but it is approximately the
sum required by the commonwealth
from Baldwin's heirs. 1t could not be
exactly determined because of the
necessity of an estimated deduction of
millions to settle various claims and
debts of the estate.
Faulkner appraised the estate of the
horseman at the time of his death at
$11, ,48S, ,311.46. OF that amount $11,-
13S,96S.75 represents realty and S349,
S42.71 represents personal property.
Both the appraiser and the executor
OF the estate agree that the property
has increased in value since Bald
wins death.
approximately definite is that many
claims and debts have not been
learned, but IL they should be more or
less than the estimated essential de-
duction of $4,13S, ,272.66, which the ap-
praiser believes should settle them
there will be a corresponding altera-
tion in the inheritance tax.
AS 1t was, the tax was adjusted
upon the showing that after the S4.-
1SS,272.66 is deducted from the SILL
4SS,311.46, there remains q net amount
of $7.35003S.S0. This last figure forms
the basis for the levy.

The Hum of the Hive.

Every progressive beekeeper sepa'
rates the light colored clover honey
from the dark fall honey.
A grove on the north of an apiary
helps to insure successful wintering
The trees break to great extent
the force of the winters wind.
The old eight frame hive is large
ly thing of the past, the ten frame
hive having taken its place, but a
twelve frame hive would be even
better.
Never extract honey before at
least two-thirds of the comb is
sealed or capped over; otherwise
the honey is not ripe enough and
will ferment.
The best way to strain honey is
to extract it. Strained honey is
never satisfactory, mixed as it al
ways is with pollen and often with
dead bees and blood.
The Italian bee is at present the
most popular because of its ability
to work and its comparative mild
ness of temper. 1t is quieter thar
the black bee, which was formerly
the favorite.
AS soon as the comb honey is
removed from the hives it is best
to scrape the propolis or bee glue
from the section boxes at once
and nothing is better for this
purpose than a sharp butcher knife
but care must be taken not to cash
the surface of the combs.
