BIG INCREASE
IN THE SCHOOLS
ENROLLMENT AT PASADENA
SHOWS GROWTH

114 East Colorado Street.
PASADENA, Sept. 25.— Work was re
sumed this morning In the Pasadena pub
lic BChools. the enrollment bclne such
as to surprise even the most sanguine. As
against the first day of school last year,
today showed an increase of 58 pupils.
One hundred and fourteen of those wero
in the high school, which had a total
today of 63ti. The grand total of today's
enrollment, Including the Linda Vista
and Altadena schools, Is 3385. The fine
new Franklin school building was brought
into use today for the first time, as were
eight of the twelve rooms of the new
Madison building and the throe-room ad
dition to the Lincoln building, for kin
dergarten purposes. In most of the
buildings practically the old teaching force
remains unchanged, although a full half
dozen of the young lady teachers of last
year resigned their positions during the
summer, usually to get married.
Owing to the disagreement between the
city council and former Superintendent
of Streets Brown the Washington school
building, although crowded with students,
has no connection with the sewer. Mr.
Brown still holds possession of the sewer
key book and will not surrender it until
he is paid the $102 for Inspecting the
sewer during its construction. Without
this key the needed connection cannot be
made and the school patrons whose chil
dren attend the Washington school are
up in arms over the matter. It i 3 ex
pected that the city council will endeavor
to find some solution to the troublesoma
problem at its meeting tomorrow. City
health officer, Dr. Stanley P. Black, had
hundreds of the school children calling
on him during the day for vaccination,
it being one of the rules that a pupil
cannot enroll without a certificate that
he has 'been vaccinated. Superintendent
Graham Is very well pleased at the aus
picious opening of the schools In his
charge. He reports that quite a number
of children registered their names to
day whose homes are in the east and who
will make the Crown City their residence
this winter.
' Congregational Convention
What promises to be the most import
church convention ever held In this city
opened at the First Congregational
church this evening. It 1b the nineteenth
annual convention of the California Con
gregationalists, and delegates from far
and near have been arriving in the city
all day. As they come they have been
greeted by committees and assigned quar
ters, but the great rush will be on to
morrow and the ample accommodations
secured by the local committee are likely
to bo taxed to the utmost. Tonight at
7:30 the members of the convention were
formally welcomed by Rev. Dr. Meredith,
pastor of the First Congregational
church. Rev. John M. Schaefle, the mod
erator, responded briefly. Then followed
the annual sermon, delivered by Rev.
Clarence T. Brown of San Diego. Rev.
Dr. Judson Smith of Boston, representing
the American board, followed this with a
very Instructive address upon "The Crisis
in Missions." Tomorrow morning at 9
o'clock will begin the business sessions of
the convention, the election of officers,
the hearing of reports. In the afternoon
and evening will be considered the sub
jects of foreign missions and education,
many prominent churchmen being on the
program.
Council Invites the Public
The public generally is invited to at
tend the meeting tomorrow at 2 p. m.
in the council chamber, when representa
tives of the Pacific Electric Railway
company will meet the city council and
discuss the several points of difference
which have arisen. These matters are
three: The poles on North Lake avenue,
the supplying of electrical power in this
city by the Pacific Electric, and the
proposed forfeiture of the $10,000 bond put
up by the company to guarantee the
completion of their lines on certain of the
city streets, notably East Orange Grove
avenue.
The Hotel Maryland opened this morn
ing and, according to the management,
will hereafter remain open both winter
and slimmer. Already there are bookings
enough to keep the house filled for half
the winter season.
BIG WATER SUIT IS BEGUN
Action to Quiet Title to Rights in San
Fernando Valley Heard by
Judge Gibbs
Suit to quiet title to water rights of
the San- Fernando valley was brought
yesterday before Judge Glbbs in de
partment five of the superior court by
the city of Los Angeles.
The suit promises to be one of the
most extensive in the history of water
contests and many attorneys have
been retained by the contesting
parties.
The question argued upon yesterday
and one which may decide the fate of
the entire valley was whether only tha
160 ranchers named in the suit as de
fendants are to be held responsible or
whether the suit shall be made to ap
ply to every resident of the valley. 1
PREPARE FOR PORTLAND DAY
If present plans are carried out, Los
Angeles will have one of the finest
floats In the parade at the Lewis and
Clark exposition on Portland day, Sap
tember 30.
Following a conference between rep
resentatives of the fair and Mayor Mc-
Aleer yesterday, the subject was turned
over to the chamber of commerce and
that body telegraphed to Secretary
Frank "Wig-gins to "go ahead" and ar
range for a befitting representation for
the City of Angels.
ATTENDANCE RECORDS BROKEN
"Barnum & Bailey played to the big
gest crowds yesterday of any in all its
history," said Press Agent Flschel last
night. "The exact number of persons
who witnessed the show was 33,664.
This is more than 3000 more than the
best previous mark." Fischel also said
that San Francisco broke records in
pcint of attendance, the biggest day's
showed being nearly 30,000, but Los
Angeles broke the record and holds the
palm over all the large cities in which
this show has exhibited.

COUNCIL RAISES WOMAN'S PAY
Gallant City Legislators Show Appre.
elation of Work of Miss
Maggie Thomson
Some municipal corporations, at least,
are not soulless and one of these is the
city of Los Angeles. This was shown
yesterday when every member of the
city council voted with a rousing "aye"
to raise the salary of Miss Maggie
Thomson, an employe of the clerk's
office.
Miss Thomson has been receiving $85
a month and according to a statement
made by City Clerk Lelande, has been
earning twice that amount. Mr. Le
lande declared to the council that Miss
Thomson seldom knew when 6 o'clock
came around, unless some one told her
it was time to quit work and then if
her work was unfinished she would
keep at It until it was done. She has
been doing this for eleven years and an
official of the Southern California Sav
ings bank, who knew of her ability, of
fered her a remunerative position in
the bank.
Mr. Lelande asked her to remain In
his office and he would pay the differ
ence In salary from his own pocket If
the city would not raise her salary.
But when the city fathers heard her
virtues recounted by Mr. Lelande they
lost no time In making the salary $100 v
month and gave her thirty days' leave
of absence.
LIBRARY INVESTIGATION
INDEFINITELY POSTPONED
ILLNESB OF DR. TRUEWORTHY
CAUSES DELAY
Hearing May Be Held Some Time, as
President Theodore Summerland of
City Council Says It Is Inevitable.
Miss Jones Not Pleased
For about five minutes yesterday
morning it appeared that the library
muddle would be unraveled and the
twists taken out of it in less than two
weeks, but a little speech by Oscar
Lawler at the meeting of the city coun
cil resulted in all proceedings being
dropped for the time being and the
proposition was left up in the air, where
it has been gracefully reposing ever
since Miss Jones was removed from the
library.
Councilman Smith asked that an im
mediate investigation be made into the
cases of the three library directors who
are accused of being responsible for the
removal of Miss Jones, and the council
set Wednesday, October 4, as the date
for the hearing. Attorney Lawler, who
represents the library directors, then
stated that Dr. Trueworthy, one of lh»
directors, was in a serious physical
condition as a result of a wreck in
which he was injured, and asked that
the hearing be indefinitely postponed.
"Dr. Trueworthy sustained a serious
injury to his head in a recent railroad
accident," said Mr. Lawler, "and his
physicians declare that he will not b?
able to stand the nervous strain of an
Investigation for six weeks at least, and
it may be twice that long. His son will
be compelled to go through a serious
surgical operation tomorrow, and the
physicians belive that this added shock
will have an effect on Dr. Truewortry
that may prove very serious. Dr.
Trueworthy desires the investigation,
but in his present state it might te
fatal to him."
"Mr. Lawler," said the councilman
from the Sixth ward, "I have been told
by a member of the Friday Morning
club that Dr. Trueworthy has become
Incurably insane as a result of the in
jury to his head. Is that true?"
Mr. Lawler denied knowledge of any
such condition in his client and said
that he did not believe that such was
the case.
Attorney Oliver, who represents Miss
Jones, was present and plead that a
definite date might be fixed for the in
vestigation.
"This delay works a great hardship
on Miss Jones," said Mr. Oliver. "She
now is under a cloud and until that is
cleared away it is Impossible for her
to secure another position."
The two attorneys then entered into
heated arguments, interlarded with ex
pressions by the councilman from the
Sixth ward.
As a result of the arguments of the
attorneys the date for the investigation
was indefinitely postponed, although
President Summerland threw out a
thread of hope when he stated that the
library Investigation was as inevitable
as eternity and would have to' come
Booner or later.
LOANS $5 TO A STRANGER
Efforts to assist "a stranger In a
strange land" to find Chinatown Sun
day afternoon cost Ernest Nelson $5.
While Nelson was standing in the watt-
Ing room of the Arcade depot he was
approached by a "green" appearing in
dividual, who asked him where China
town was located. Nelson tried to ex
plain, but his questioner seemed dazed.
Nelson at last volunteered to guide
the stranger in his quest and the two
started away together. They had not
proceeded far when they were met by
a third man, who also wanted to be
directed to Chinatown. Both exclaimed
In the same voice that they were just
going there and asked the third party
to join them.
On passing a barroom the first
stranger suggested that they have a
drink. Nelson informed them of the
Sunday "blue" law, but his friend In
sisted that liquor could be had.
After going to the rear the stranger
appeared with some drinks and asked
the men if they could change a twenty.
Nelson replied that he had $5, and
handed it to the stranger. He disap
peared, and later the second man left
to find the first. Nelson is looking for
both. |

SPUR TRACK PETITIONS
MAY MEAN RAILWAY WAR
SANTA FE AND SOUTHERN PACIFIC
WANT BAME ROUTE
Board of Public Works Has Requests
From Both Roads for Privilege of
Laying Rails In the Manufacturing
District
Because of a move made by the Santa
Fe yesterday it is predicted that a rail
road war will be precipitated, involving
the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific.
The move was a petition to the city
council in which the Santa Fe asked
permission to build a spur track from
the intersection of Jackson street to the
west line of Amelia street, thence west
over and across private property and
across Lafayette street and then along
a portion of Jackson street between
Lafayette and Alameda to the east line
of Alameda.
The petition in itself appears innocent
enough, although there are a number of
residents and property owners along the
line of the proposed track who are
strongly opposed to it, but the interest
ing feature is found in the fact that the
Southern Pacific, at last week's meet
ing of the council, presented a petition
for a spur track to run over the same
route with the slight difference of the
point of intersection for beginning the
track.
These spur tracks will open up a
large manufacturing district which at
present has insufficient transportation
facilities and both roads are anxious
for their share of the traffic.
It is probable, however, that neither
petition will be granted. The first peti
tion presented by the Southern Pacific
was referred to the commitete of pub
lic works and came up before that body
at its meeting last Friday, but owing
to the absence of one of the members,
action on it was postponed. A large
number of property owners were pres
ent to object to the laying of the track,
but they were not heard. The board of
public works now has the petitions of
both railroads and will probably pass
upon their cases next Friday.
DEAL FOR HOTEL IS AIRED
Dr. Z. F. Vaughn, Charged With Petit
Larceny, Asserts His Accuser
Wrongfully Holds Title
Dr. Z. F. Vaughn, who is charged
with petit larceny by Mrs. Belle Me-
Williams, gave some sensational testi
mony in his trial which was begun
yesterday before Police Judge Austin.
The charge aWses out of entangle
ments following the sale of the Lincoln
hotel to Mrs. Belle McWilllams several
weeks ago. Dr. Vaughn asserts that
the property which he is charged with
stealing, two large mirrors, is part of
the furniture transferred by Mrs. Mc-
Willlams to W. D. Montgomery In the
trade for the Lincoln hotel.
He also asserts that the title to the
furniture is vested In Mrs. McWllliams
because of an attempt to defraud
Montgomery's creditors, but the real
owner is himself, he having acquired
ptoperty rights because of a debt due
from Montgomery, so he says.
The case was not completed yester
day and will be resumed this morning.
EXAMINER SUED FOR $6000
In a suit for $6000 against William
Randolph Hearst, G. T. Ridenbaugh,
president of the Typewriter and Sup
ply company of Los Angeles, yester
day swore out an attachment against
the property of the Los Angeles Ex
aminer.
"I have very little to say regarding
this suit," said Mr. Ridenbaugh, at the
Jonathan club, last night. "The trouble
arose originally when I was local agent
for the San Francisco Examiner. I had
a contract with them and they failed
to hold up their end. I subsequently
went into their office, but the story is
a long one and will come out later."

ECZEMA
ITCHES AND BURNS
The return of warm weather means a
return of torture to Eczema sufferers.
The blood is charged with burning acids
and acrid matter which is forced to the
surface through the pores and glands,
forming pustules which discharge a sticky
fluid, and the ftchiiig is intense.
The doctors said I had pustular Ec-
zema; it would break out in small white
pustules, mostly on my face and hands,
discharging 1 a sticky fluid; crusts -would
form and drop off, leaving the skin red
and inflamed. I was tormented -with
the itching and burning character-
istic of the disease for five years, and
during the time used various medicated
soaps, ointments and washes, but these
applications seemed to make ma worse.
After taking S. S. S. a short time I be-
gan to improve; the itching did not
-worry me so much. I oontlnued the
medicine, and soon all the ugly erup-
tions disappeared and my skin is now as
dear as anybody's. I nave not been
troubled with any breaking out since.
Urbana, O. E. £. KELLY.
Sometimes the disease is in the dry
form, and bran-like scales form on the
skin, but the cause is the same— humors
in the blood. Salves, cooling washes,
powders and the like can do nothing
more than relieve the itching, because
they do not reach the acid-laden blood,
the seat of the trouble. S. S. S. cures
Eczema and all skin diseases by neutral-
izing the acids and carrying them off
through the proper channels. When
S. S. S. has done this the symptoms
pass away, the blood is cooled and
