LIGHT VOTE IS RECORDED IN
 BOND ELECTION
Less than 300 Had Cast Ballots Up to } PM
 Polls Open to 7P.M.

A total of PA taxpayers had cast ballots in the city's special bond election at 3 o'clock this afternoon from a tax roll con- taining approximately 1000 eli gible voters. Efforts were being made to get the voters to the polls this afternoon and it was being anticipated by officials that between 400 and 800 votes would be cast.
 Major grief of the election judges was the failure in many instances of the names of both husband and wife to appear on the tax roll. Many women ar rived to vote only to find that they were disenfranchised by the simple fact that only their husbands name was on the tax roll although the property was owned jointly.
 After considerable trouble on this score, officials finally ruled that where an affidavit was presented showing joint owner ship in a cast of husband and wife both would be entitled to cast ballot. Rather than go to the trouble of getting such an affidavit from the recorders of flee, most of the challenged voters went home.
 The polls will be open in the City Hall until ! o'clock tonight and officials urge that all tax payers whose names appear upon the tax roll make a special effort to get to the polling place.

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal, Sept. 20. Pauline Frederick, 53, once a great star on the stage and screen, is dead. The end came suddenly when she was stricken with an acute attack of asti.-.la which weak ened her heart.
 Pauline Beatrice Frederick, "the girl with the topaz eyes, rose from chorus ranks to become, in her hey day, Americas most popular actress.
 A stately dark haired beauty, she achieved fame as reigning stage and screen star but was less for tunate in private life. Her five matrimonial ventures ended in di- vorces and deaths.
 She was fired from her first role "a small part in "The Roger Brothers at Harvard A. L.. Erlanger, the producer, in 1902. But the willowy 17-year-old girl who had come to New York to try her luck in the theatre against the will of her parents, persisted.
 She had no wish to return to Boston, where she had been born August 12, 1885, and become an elocution teacher as her stern father, Richard C. Libbey, wished. He never forgave her and disin- herited her upon his death in 1922.
 Changes Name
 Because of the attitude of her father, the young actress dropped her family name and adopted the name of Frederick She quickly graduated from small singing parts to leading musical comedy roles. She was a featured ingenue for five years. Then her ambition to enter the legitimate theatre was given impetus by Harrison Fisher, the artist, who proclaimed her the purest type of American beauty"

Forty Injured when Two Passenger Trains Tele-
 scope, Imperial Valley
MANY PASSENGERS
 TRAPPED IN STEEL
Argonaut Shunts from Main Line to Siding and
 Hits Californian

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 20- Ten persons are dead and about 40 injured following the telescoping of two Southern Pacific trains in the Imperial Valley at the Tortuga switching point Il miles east of Niland
 The dead were identified as H. R. Parsons, fireman on the west bound Argonaut; P. E. Martin, fire man on The Californian; Robert N. Richardson, engineer on The Cali fornian all three from Los An geles; Mrs. J. A. Hall and Emma Hall, of Lomalinda, Cal; Florence Tator, Rinebeck, New York.
 Besides the identified dead, there are four unidentified women dead. . Most of the dead and injured were aboard The Californian.
 Officials said after preliminary examination that the tragedy was apparently caused by faulty switch that shunted the Argonaut onto the siding where the Callforn- ian waited for the Argonaut to pass on the main line.
 Among passengers in the wreck was J. H. Dyer, Vice President of the Southern Pacific who was unin- jured. Dyer took charge of rescue work and reported that rescue work was delayed by the fact that many passengers were trapped in the twisted steel of the heavy cars, necessitating the use of acetylene torches to cut through.
