MEMORY GONE, FoRGETS
NAME; DOCTORS PUZZLED
Patient in Yonkers Hospital Un-
able to Establish Identity.

YONKERS, N. Y, May S.-For the
last fortnight patient in st. Joseph's
hospital, this city, has been undergoing
treatment for loss of memory. The
man takes note of present occurrences
and can speak of them. but everything
relating to the past is a blank to him.
he does not know who he is, what his
name is or where he lived.
For ten days the mans life was de-
SPARED of. For the greater part of
that time he lay in a state of coma,
and his death was hourly expected. A
few days ago, however, he suddenly re-
gained consciousness and the physi-
clans began to ply him with questions.
To their astonishment the patient
proved as much in the dark about him
self as they were.
The man, who was fairly well
dressed was found unconscious in Her.

per in his clothing to furnish clew to
his identity.
cause of the patients condition as his
organs were in an apparently normal
state. Several times he rallied, but af-
ter each favorable turn had a sinking
spell. Finally when all hope had been
abandoned he regained consciousness,
but his condition was like that of a
child. He remembered nothing. Thus
far he has been unable to aid the doc
tors in the smallest way in finding out
who he is.

ever, she became reconciled to the au-

Try as he would, Barrie has never
been able to keep his mother out OF
his books and plays, and this was al

MOVING PICTURES SHOW
ACCIDENT To ACTRESS
Mrs. F. B. Tomkins in Sisters
Hospital as Result of Fall
From Buggy

With every detail of the accident
which may cost the life of Mrs. F. B..
Tomkins recorded on the film of a
moving picture camera, the young
woman lies this morning on a bed in
the Sisters hospital, grievously hurt,
the full extent of her injuries not yet
determined. Physicians in charge of
the case, however, reported her condi-
ton as somewhat improved last night,
and said her chances for recovery are
good.
Mrs. Tomkins, who is better known to
the theater- going public as Marguerite
Favar, has recently been employed as
leading woman of a stock company
maintained at Glendale by one of the
moving picture firms Saturday after
noon the company repaired to a ravine
near Elysian park, where they pro-
ceeded to enact a drama, intended to
be shown later in moving picture thea
ters all over the country.
SHOW OPENS
Mrs. Tomkins was cast as the heroine.
She played the part af young girl
whose father, objecting to his daugh-
ter's matrimonial plans, takes her away
from her sweetheart, who is left stand
ing disconsolately in the road as the old
man and his daughter drive rapidly
homeWard.
In this scene Mrs. Tomkins, after
having been bundled unceremon!ously
into the buggy stood up to throw a
farewell kiss to the man behind. Just
then the horse, answering touch of
the whip, sprang forward and the
actress pitched out of the rig, alighting
on her head. She was picked up un-
conscious, and remained in that condi-
tion until yesterday afternoon. Con-
,cussion of the brain with a possible
basal fracture of the skull was the
physicians diagnosis.
This is the first instance on record
in which an accident, threatening such
serious consequences, has been caught
in it's entirety by a motion picture
camera.
THE POSSIBILITIES
Should the young woman die it is
likely that the pictures would be intro
duced in evidence, in case an inquest
is ordered; while in the event of civil
suit for damages, irrespective of fatal
termination of the accident, the film
certainly would be offered as evidence
before the court, thus giving rise to a
new point in legal procedure.
Before her marriage Mrs. Tomkins,
then Marguerite Favar, played SOU
brette roles at Fischer's theater, now
the Princess, on First street. Los An
geles has been her home for several
years, and she has many friends here.

Himself RuSS0k

NEW YORK, May S.-'Back was the

serted me and abandoned me when a
child of tender years, leaving me in the
care of my mother" was told by Her

For no other reason than the one stat
ed he said, did he desire to have his

Drug Clerk Discovers Salt Which

ROUNDED UP AGED
INDIAN WITNESSES
Trial of Rindge Road Case Re-
calls Old Suit Brought
by Indians
LAND CLAIMED BY GRANT
Pioneers Listen to Testimony
Regarding Early Days in
Southland
LAND CLAIMED BY GRANT

Grizzled pioneers of the Santa Mon
government in its fight in the United
States circuit court to open the roads
through the Rindge estate to public
lands which they reach, remind the
old government officers of the time
Ralph Dominguez, court crier and
official interpreter in the Spanish and
Indian tongue for the United States
courts here, rounded up five of the
oldest Indian braves of the tribe of
the great southwest down on the Yuma
desert to appear as witnesses in case
then pending in court.
The case was one which attracted
much attention twenty-one years ago,
and affects the disposition of $4,000
acres of land in San Bernardino
county. Tt was brought by the San
Gabriel mission Indians against John
G. North and Richard Girth. The
white men claimed grant from the
Southern Pacific railroad. The Indians
claimed the grant from God, and said
1t was q part of their reservation.
HUNT FOR WITNESSES
In order to substantiate the clear
title of the Indians to the property
it was necessary, as in the Rindge
case, to bring forward witnesses who
were familiar with the property from
infancy. Dominguez, who was at that
time a deputy United States marshal,
sent down into the desert to hunt wit
nesses.
Dominguez was gone many weeks.
Court adjourned, patiently waiting for
his return. The newspapers amused
themselves by having him scalped,
burned or buried alive by the Indians
at intervals.
Dominguez passed through many
hardships, but he returned with five
gray-haired chieftainS many times
older than himself.
These Indians, two of whom are
alive today ranged in age from rs to
14O years. Grizzled, bent and wrinkled
with age. they testified in court to nav
ing plodded across the Yuma desert
when boys with adobe packs on their
naked little backs for the building of
the San Gabriel mission. Asked why
they did it they replied for love of the
padre whom Jesus had sent on earth.
.Jaun Saberia, who is the Oldest Indian
in the United States, and who stlli
lives in the Arizona desert was one of
the witnesses.
ALL OLD MEN
Harabiso Cabajon, who was chief of
the Yuma tribe and who is now dead,
vas also a witness. He was so years
vious to his departure, at the ripe old
age of $40 years.
Francisco Apache, another of the In
dian witnesses, was 105 years old, and
Ramon Largo, another, was 1O4 years
old.
These Indians, who knew the country
before the coming of the white man,
had been on the war path several times.
Many Travelled miles to see them
and they excited great curiosity. Do
minguez said they rode their horses
many miles without firing, and in their
native tongue gave him Volumes Of in
formation.
Their memory was vivid of events
from childhood" said Dominguez, "or
they were the most cheerful liars l
have ever met. AT any rate they won
the case for their tribe and the land
was annexed to their reservation, much
to the chagrin of the defendants and
the railroad"
