ROLLER SKATES FOR
Los ANGELES COPS
A UNIQUE SQUAD PROPOSED FOR
THAT CITY AS AUXILIARY
TO MOTORCYCLE.

Los Angeles, Aug. 28.-If expert
ments now being conducted prove sue
cessful, Los Angeles will be the first
city in the land to have roller skate
squad as a part of its police force.
The experiments are being conducted
under the direction of Chief Sebas-
tian, aided by several heavyweight
officers. The skate used is new
model propelled by peculiar move
ment of the foot. Heavyweight po-
licemen appear to have the advant-
age over the light men, as weight is
one of the requisites for speed in
using the new skate. It is declared
a 200 pound officer can attain a speed
of nearly thirty miles an hour. Be
cause of accidents to the motorcycle
squad the new skate squad may be
used to suppress violations of the
speed ordinance. ..s,-a

The most recent reports indicate
that the storm is still central over
South Carolina near the coast. The
prediction is made that it will move
northward inside the coast line. Pre-.
vlous storms of similar character
have generally lost intensity as they
passed to the interior of the country.
Wind, rain and showers are predicted
by the weather bureau for the interior
districts east of the Mississippi as an
outgrowth of the southern storm
Storm warnings were ordered dis
played on the Atlantic coast from Ft.
Monroe. Va, to Jacksonville, Fla.
No word reached the navy depart
ment today from Charleston, S. C.
and it is believed here that wireless
communication has been cut off. The
department has instructed the coast
stations to endeavor to get in touch
with the Charleston navy yard. There
are a number of naval vessels in
Charleston harbor. including collier,
four submarines, two destroyers and
fourteen reserve torpedo boats.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 22.-The Sc
we're storm which struck Charleston
and Savannah last night seems to be
centering in the same locality today.
Indications are that it is moving
northward. Both cities were conf
pletely cut off from communication
with the outside world today and it is
therefore impossible to ascertain the
extent of damage wrought by the
storm.
A message this afternoon from
Branchville, 70 miles from Charleston,
states there is three feet of water
in the Charleston union station, par
TALLY confirming earlier reports that
Charleston was menaced by a flood
The message also says no trains have
left Charleston since 8 o'clock last
night. At IL o'clock Southern rail
way officials were advised from Sum
merville, 20 miles north of Charleston
that water had flooded the Charles
ton union station. The Southern rail

BOYS LEG CRUSHED

The young son of Mrs. Porfiria
Strong was seriously injured yesterday
afternoon. While working around the
stable the boy got tangled up in a
rope that one of the horses was tied
with. The horse became frightened
and lunged, jerking the lad from his
feet and crushing his leg at the place
the rope was wound around At first
it was thought that he was just badly
shaken up, but owing to the acute
suffering caused by the fall doctor
was called and upon examination he
found that the two bones in the thigh
were badly crushed. With the assist
ance Of another doctor the bones were
put in place but 1t is thought that
owing to the crushed condition of the
leg an operation will in all probabili-
ty be necessary and his may result
in the amputation of the injured limb.

 It was charged that Morrison had been operating what is known as a suit club where each member is required to pay s1 per week, and at the end of each week a drawing is held. By the plan one member draws a suit valued at $25 or he may apply that amount on suit of higher price. Judge Tweedy held that this was in violation of section 1862 of Kirby's Digest, as well as city ordinance 1722, prohibiting rallies and lotteries.
