Some Stories Around the Town.

In Lexington the rural route car
riers are experimenting with the
small automobile as means of trans
porting the mails The tests were
entirely satisfactory to the carrier
who was enabled to complete his
route in less than half the time re-
quired with a horse and buggy. The
patrons of the route were also pleased
as they received their mail early in
the morning. whereas usually the
mail was not delivered until after
noon near the end of me route.
Most OF the carriers are required 10
keep several horses. and from the ex-
periments 1t is cheaper to maintain
small gasoline car than feed the
horses and pay other expenses.

SENATE and House
ON THE RY. BILL

Washington, April 2S.-The rail-
road bill was under consideration
today in both branches of congress.
In the senate a spirited debate on
the provision authorizing the making
of rates was engaged in by Senators
Clay, Bristow, Cummins, Crawford.
Bailey, Aldrich, Borah, Root and
Hepburn.
A vote on this provision will prob
ably be reached tomorrow. The
small number of democratic men,

include telegraph and telephone COM

land at $13 an acre. Ine Otner was
at later date, signed and covering
the same description of land at SIC
an acre. He said these were incom-
pletely certified, but he would sub
NIT legally certified copies later. In
heply to an inquiry from Superin-
tendent Stockwell, he said these
were presented as tending to show,
according to the complainant, that
this land had been bid in at higher
price, and the receipt was subse-
quently cancelled and rewritten for
the lower price.
Mr.. McEnroe then stated to the
board that Orville Garfield Of Stark
weather and James McPike and
James Taylor of Cando were the
names of persons who could give
testimony as to the fraudulent char
acter of the sale of lands in the fall
of 1901.
Mr.. Collins, who is tall, large
framed, smooth faced, and whose
testimony was full of vehement de-
clarations of an attempt to ruin him
by the "Cando crowd" testified along
the same lines presented in his afti-
davit and petition for an investiga-
ton, declaring that one Jack McCune
had received quarter section of
land at $40 an acre and $4,000 first
mortgage loan it because he object
ed to the way the land was purchas-
ed at the sale and threatened to
make a fuss about it. He told of
the school land sale as he remem-
bered it, and his understanding that
the land in question, section 16, was
not to be placed on sale He also
told upon what subsequent transac-
Thompson and others had tried to
injure him financially And he gave
this threat, which he said came to
him through J. J. McCanna, as the
reason why he had withdrawn his
request for an investigation three
years ago. He refused to state
whether he believed that the board
of university and school lands was
ready at that time to give him a
fair investigation, and this question
was repeated several times, but it
was finally made clear that the with
drawal was at Collins request, and

transaction to any member of the
state board
Collins stated that he had written
the governor a letter ascribing this
threat as the reason for withdrawing
his former complaint. The governor
presented a letter from Collins,
which was the only letter he said
he had received from him, and which
was not put in evidence, but which
evidently contained no reference to
this threat, from the fact that COL
lins referred to "another letter." in
which he said he had explained the
matter to the governor. 1t was also
brought out that Collins and the gov-
ernor had talked over the matter of
Collins complaint one time, although
Collins did not admit that the gov
ernor had advised him how to pro-
ceed. stating that he had gone to
M A. Hildreth and paid him $25 for
advice and the drawing of the pa
pers. He did admit, however, that
this procedure was along the lines
that had been suggested by the gov
ernor.
After the completion of Collins
statement, Attorney Scott Rex began
to cross-examipe him with reference
to his financial transactions in the !
past and as to certain judgments
and debts of Collins, and the war
fare broke out afresh. Collins said !

MAN SUCCEEDS IN SECOND
ATTEMPT TO TAKE LIFE
Asphyxiation FoiIed by Wife, but
HurIs Himself Before Train

After making futile attempt at
suicide by asphyxiation, E. Devolon,
proprietor of the Bee Hive grocery at
Pomona, threw himself in front of the
Golden State Limited train at that
place shortly before noon yesterday
and was killed instantly. The coroner
was notified and the body removed to
the undertaking parlors of w. D. Todd.
A certificate of suicidal death probably
will be signed by the coroner.
Devolon attempted to kill himself
early in the morning in his home at
TAI Monterey avenue, Pomona, by In
haling Illuminating gas. He was found
lying across a gas stove, the jets OF
which had been turned on. His
daughter summoned a physician and
after he had been revived he was ta-
ken for a ride by his brother-in-law
w. S. Dupee. The drive ended at the
office of Mr.. pee. He stepped inside
on an errand and Mr.. Devolon then
ran to the track and threw himself
in front of the train. He is survived
by Mrs. Devotion, three sons and
daughter.
According to friends and associates
Mr.. Devolon had not exhibited any
dependency. 1t is thought he com
mitted suicide during a temporary
mental alteration.

CLIMATE MAY KEEP OUT
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
DR.. Powers Declares Disease Is
Not Prevalent Here

Infantile paralysis that appears to
be prevalent in the northern part of
the Pacific coast and in the eastern
cities, has been diagnosed as anterior
polyo myolitis'' by DR.. L. NJ. Powers,
city health officer, and DR.. Powers
further adds that Los Angeles Is al
most entirely free of this peculiar dis
ease,
IT have learned of only one case in
the whole city in the last two weeks,
he said.
Anterior polyo-myoliti is not new
diseases, although it is only recently
that the layman has begun to hear
much about it. The disease known
as infantile paralysis, is perhaps as
old as any other of which we have
record, but it has only been lately
that scientists have turned their at
tention to it with the purpose of dis
covering it's cure. 1t is like diphtheria,
typhoid and other diseases were few
years ago, before the germ of the
disease had been discovered and the
cure found.
Experiments are going on to find
the germ of this disease. We know
very little about it now and the doc
tors are cropping about in the ex-
pectation of learning more. All this
work will result in accomplishing the
desired result some time. Dr. tleXner
of the Rockefeller institute is among
those scientists who are trying to in
crease the worlds knowledge of an
terror polyo-myolitis.
"The present stir about this disease
has probably resulted from the better
measures of sanitation that are every
where being employed. We learn
more about sanitation every year than
we do of any other science. Los An
geles is likely to continue to be freer
of this infantile paralysis than other
portions of the country because of the
dryness of the climate"

WHOLESALERS DECLARE
FOR THIRTY-CENT MEALS
Desmond'S Backers State Con-
tractor is Losing Money

Raise the price of meals on the
aqueduct from 25 to 80 cents or it will
be necessary to cut some of the items
from the menu. This Is what the
wholesalers who are backing D. j.
Desmond, the mess contractor on the
aqueduct, told the advisory commit
tee of the aqueduct.
The items that 1t will be necessary
to eliminate are butter, eggs, smoked
meats, canned salmon and all green
vegetables except such staples as
potatoes, onions, etc. The sWeetenlng
for the tea and coffee must also be
mixed in the kitchen, instead of put
ting sugar bowls on the table where
the men can help themselves. These
changes are made necessary by the
great increase in the price of food
stuffs, according to the wholesalers.
But the standard of the meals must
not be lowered, General Chaffee, chair
man of the advisory committee, told
the wholesalers and the board of pub
lie works has the last word in the
matter for Desmonds contract says
the meals must be satisfactory to the
board and any lowering of the stand
ard would not be satisfactory.
General Chaffee and President Hub
hard of the board of public works
would increase the price of the meals
to the 30 cents demanded, but w. M.
Humphreys, the third member of the
board, is opposed to the increase and
has emphatically stated he will not
consider it. The two votes would ac-
complish the increase but the board
does not like to act without unan-
nous vote.
But figures presented to the advisory
committee tend to show that the mess
contractor is losing money and would
be glad to be relieved of the contract
unless the price of meals is increased
The board of public works has con-
sidered the advisibility of the city
again feeding the men as 1t did be-
fore the contract was awarded to
Desmond, but nothing definite along
thiu line has been done.
