CLINCH DETAILS
OF BIG R.R. DEAL
S. P. Takes Possession of Newly
Acquired Lines on
January 1
IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE
New Method Planned for Getting
Interurban Cars Into
City Depot
Final detals of tho gigantic railroad
deal by which the Huntington Inter
ests trade their holdings In the Pacific
Electric railway to the Southern Pa
cific for the latter's Interests In the
Los Angeles Railway corporation were
consummated yesterday, the officers
of the two companies remaining In
conference until 7 o'clock last evening
In order to finish their work.
According to the terms of the deal
the Southern Pacific will hereafter op
erate the Pacific Electric and that sec
tion of the Los Angeles and Redondo
railway beyond Hawthorne while tho
Huntington interests will own and
control all Los Angeles city car lines
and the Los Angeles and.Hcdondo line
as far as Hawthorne. Officers of the
Pacific Electric announced after the
conference last evening that the full
details of the transaction would be
made public today.
It is said that the change in owner
ship of the interurban lines does not
contemplate a change in the present
policy of the companies in the man
agement of departments. Henry K.
Huntington, president of the Pacific
Electric and the T.os Angeles and Ke
dondo, personally stated that the
Southern Pacific would continue the
operation of tho lines taken over by
It in the same manner as they have
lieen operated by the Huntington in
terests and that it would continue the
improvements now under way and car
ry out those contemplated.
810 MEN IX CONFERENCE
Those in conference yesterday in
cluded Henry E. Huntington, William
F. Herrin, Paul Shoup, Epes Randolph,
Howard Huntington and W. E. Dunn.
Besides these, officers of the engineer
ing and auditing departments were re
porting to the conference throughout
the day, giving figures concerning the
holdings and assets of the roads. Those
jn the conference refused to give out
the date set for the. Southern Pacific
taking control Of the lines but It is
generally believed It will be January
1. On and after that date the Los
Angeles and Redondo railway will go
out of existence and will be operated as
n part of the Pacific Electric system.
In all probability the latter company's
station at Sixth and Slain streets will
be made the terminus for the Kedondo
line.
Among the changes which probably
•will be carried out by the Southern
Pacific is the operation of interurban
cars from Pasadena and the lines north
of the city to the Sixth street station
via San Pedro street. A franchise has
been asked for already along the street
mentioned. The object of such a
change is to relieve the congestion on
Main street and allow better time be
ing made over the lines running north.
At present, during the rush hours,
from twelve to fifteen minutes, about
the same time as it takes to run from
the city limits of Los Angeles to Pas- |
pdena is consumed between Sixth and
Main and First and Main streets. With
the lnterurban cars operating In Ran
Pedro street a groat deal of this time
•would be saved, according to officials
of the company.
Should such a change bo made, the
oars will be run into the station at
Sixth and Main from the Los Angeles
street side, it is said. As the level of
Los Angeles street is considerably low
er than Main street, this would neces
sitate building fin underground sta
tion, and it is believed that If such is
•lone all cars will lie operated through
the Los Angeles street entrance.
The conference will meet n™aln to
day to begin taking the actual steps for
transferring the holdings of each fac
tion to the other.

WHO IS A FACTOR IN
BIG TRACTION DEAL
AVIATORS RUSH OFFERS
TO MEET AT DOMINGUEZ
American Club Already Assured
That Well Known Bird-Men
Will Come West
That Los Angeles is becoming nn
Important aviation center Is shown by
the many offers received by- M. C.
Tunison of tin? American Aviation
club of this city to come to Southern
California for the international meet
to be held here soon. This affair, it
is believed by local club men, will sur
pass the international meet In New
York, as well as the Boston contest,
as many more men will enter. From
present indications all of the eastern
men, besides those of California and
other parts of the west, will enter.
The Dominguez ranch has been
leased for a period of live years by
the American club and will be pre
pared in an elaborate manner for the
coming meet. It is estimated that the
expenses will run about $260,000, but j
the local aviators say that amount is
in sight. The buildings that are to
be put up on the field are to be of a
substantial nature and it is thought
that meets will be held at that place
each year during the period of the
lease.
It is said that among the well known
aviators who will take part in the
Southern California meet will be Mc-
Curdy, Ely, Curtiss, Latham, Radley,
Mars, Auburn, Grahame-White, Aude
mars, Le Blanc and many others.

De Lesseps at Baltimore
BOMBS DROPPED ON TARGETS
Hoxsey. in Big Biplane, Performs
Amazing Evolutions Above
Crowds of Spectators
(Associated Press)
BALTIMORE. Nov. 10.—Sunbeams
shot with raindrops harrowed the en
thuilastt iit the aviation field toduy.
Today's flights differed in Viuny re
spects from anytliing seen heretofore.
They included bomb-throwing and
target shooting from speeding air
ships, aerial gymnastics and trips
aloft made by government officials,
followed by official expressions as to
the sensations experienced and as to
the merits of aeroplanes of different
designs.
Postmaster General Hitchcock, after I
a flight with Count Jacques do Les
sees, wns so pleased that ho asked
Arch Hoxsey tor a higher flight in the
Wright biplane. Hut Hoxsey had
found the upper air too gusty to make
passenger - carrying altogether safe
and he asked the postmaster general
to wait until tomorrow. Mr. Hitch
cock expressed himself as delighted
with his experience in the air.
After lie had been brought safely to
earth, Gen. James Allen, chief signal
officer of the army, entered Count do
Lesseps' 100-horsepmver Bleriot and
was given the new experience of a
flight.
OFnCIAT,B WITNESS KMfiHTS
In the party from Washington with
him and the postmaster general were
Secretary of War Dickinson, Gen.
William Witherspoon, president of tlio
army wur college; Thomas Nelson
Page mid several others, together with
a number of women.
The first of the flyers to take wing
was Janus KaHey, shortly after 2
o'clock, he being followed immediately
by Hubert Latham in his Antoinette.
Both descended after brief flights, A
little later Count do Lesseps, In his
100-horsepower Bleriot, took aloft for
rtfle practice Captain John P. Douw
Of the state ordnance corps. After a
trip around the course to give the
marksman his bearings. Captain Douw
tin d twice at the C target, V. 8. A.
small arms practice, but the best of
the shots missed the marlc by four
feet.
Latham then tried with a revolver.
Covering the target in the circum
ference of a circle of small dftnen
sions from his Antoinette he twice
tired four shots. Of these two were
hits!, one scoring two and the other
three points.
Count do Lessors then took up a
passenger, Lieutenant Dupuy of the
New York signal corps.
Just before, 4 p. m. J. A. Droxel be
gan a try for altitude, the wind at
tlie time blowing nine miles an hour.
In about ten minutes he had floated
out of sight In the direction of the
city. He returned after a trip of about
a quarter Of an hour, reporting the
wind too tluky for high flight. His
i barograph recorded R.'O feet, although
the manner of his flight gave the Im
pression of mucli greater altitude.
Ely, In a Curtiss biplane, went into
the air intending to try for the Com
modore Barry bomb-throwing trophy,
hut descended before completing a lap,
for the purpose of making readjust
ments of hts biplane.
DROPS BOMBS FROM AIRSHIPS
Latham made a score of fifteen
points with six bombs. One of these
would have dropped into the funnel of
a battleship and it therefore, counted
as a bullseye. fnder the rules gov
erning the Harry trophy contest.
bombs must be thrown from a height
of not loss than luO feet. Some of
Latham's fell from more than 1:00 feet
and against a rising wind.
Drexel from his Blerlot dropped six
of the missiles upon tho outline rep
resenting the deck of a battleship,
but as none of them struck a vital
spol his score was only 6.
While he preparingl to drop his
second bomb, Hoxsey, in a biff Wright
biplane, flew across the grandstand
from the railroad station at Hazel
thorpe, where his machine had been
a^si milled in record-breaking time. Ho
circled the course many times, per
forming brilliant evolutions ai^d di
viding; the interest of the spectators
with ]>rexol, who continued his bomb
dropping.
Hoxsey jlew his Wright in almost
every conceivable manner, now in
tapering longitudinal spirals, now
; ia. ■Tuiiy gliding from great heights,
then literally gliding over the surface
of the earth, onlj to rise again into
the upper air. He made three, flight!
in all during the afternoon,
Shortly after 4 o'clock angry clouds
in the west spoiled further efforts and
less than fifteen minutes later came
tho rain. Then the trio of bombs slg
naled the official close of the day.

FIND MAN GUILTY
BY FINGER PRINTS
Conviction of Negro in Chicago Is
First of Kind in History
of the Country
CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Marking the
first conviction on finger tip evidence
in the history of this country, Thomas
Jennings, a negro, was today found |
guilty by a Jury in the criminal court
of the murder of Clarence A. Hlller on
the night of September 19.
The jurors felt so confident of the
guilt of Jennings that the first ballot
resulted in a unanimous conviction,
with eleven of the Jurors demanding
the death penalty. On the third bal
lot the death sentence was made unan
imous.
Counsel for Jennings asked for a new
trial on the grounds that the finger
print evidence should not have been
allowed. As a result it is probable
the supreme court will be asked to
rule on the use of such evidence in
criminal cases.
BAND MARKS ON' PAINT
Judge Kavanagh, who presided at
the trial, declared when objection was
first made to the evidence presented
by the state that in his opinion the
murderer of Hiller wrote his signature
when he rested his hand on a freshly
painted porch railing at the Hlller
home.
Following the murder of Hlller, this
porch railing was sawed off and tn
ken to detective headquarters, where
photographs were made of the finger
prints. These photographs were en
larged and following Jennings' arrest
were compared with new imprints of
his left hand made at the police bu
reau of identification. Finger print
experts tetsifled at the trial that there
were thirty-three points of similarity
on the first three lingers of the left
hand of the murderer of Hiller and
that of Jennings.
SHOOTING OF tmaar clkbk
Hlller, who was chief clerk in the
Chicago offices of the Rock Island rail
road, was shot in the front hall of his
residence at Washington Heights, 111.,
by a negro burglar. Hiller had en
countered the burglar in an upper hall.
The two grappled and fought their
way down a stairway to the first floor.
When the police began the Investiga
tion it was only known that a negro
had killed Hiller. Jennings was ar
rested less than half an hour after the
shooting at a point three-quarters of
a mile from the Hiller house, where
he had boarded an electric car bound
tor Chicago. Detectives who were sent
to the Hiller home immediately after
the murder found the hand imprint
on the porch railing.

69 BODIES RECOVERED
FROM MINE AT DELAGUA
Superintendent Rushes to Stope
to Save Men and Is Caught
in the Explosion
DELAGUA, Colo., Nov. 10.—Because
he followed the old mine boss' maxim
to "be the first man in and the last
man out" In caiO of accidents, the
body of Superintendent William Lewis
probably' will be the last recovered
from tho Delagua mine.
As soon as he hoard the report that
there was lire In the mine, Lewis
rushed into the main stope, followed
by the other bosses. An instant later
came the explosion which wrecked the
mouth of the main stope and buried
the party beneath the rock. All must
have been caught, but Lewis undoubt
edly is farthest in.
The cap of James Young, master
mechanic, was found In the broken
stone near the mouth of the entry to
day nnd it is believed his body cannot
be far off.
In their first real tryout tho mine
rescue cars proved of inestimable ben
efit. Had it not been for the govern
ment; car and that of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron compnny it is doubtful
if more than ene or two men could
have been rescued or the rescue work
kept up continuously as it has been.
The mule which was found ullvc in
tho fourth north entry this morning
did not have long to rejoice over his
escape. It was impossible to remove
him from the mine, and after he had
been fed and his slight bruises dressed
he was put to work hauling away the
debris from the main stope so that tho
fall of rook which blocks the main
entrance could be approached from the
inside.
The bodies of W. .T. Evans, assist
ant superintendent, arid T. Woodward,
assistant electrician, were brought out
in the .nurse of the evening-. The to
tal number of bodies thus far recov
ered is sixty-nine.
Bodies of twenty-nine Mexicans were
taken on a special train to Trinidad
and buried there. Another burial train
probably will start tomorrow morning.

SHEDS HEN LIGHT
ON SHERMAN LAW
Assistant Attorney General Fow
ler Declares Measure Pro
vides Many Penalties
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—By alleg
ing the Sherman anti-trust law provid
ed punishment for almost twenty-seven
varieties of crime, Assistant Attorney-
General Fowler today sprung some
thing of a surprise in his argument
before the federal supreme court on
the Kissel and Earned indictments
under the law.
Tlip court was considering, probably
for the first time, the interpretation
of this act as a criminal measure.
Gustav K. Kissel of New York and
Thomas B. Harned of Philadelphia
were indicted in 1909, together with
the American Sugar Refining company
and others, on charges relating to the
alleged driving out of the business of
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining com
pany Before trial on the indictment.
Kissel and Harned entered special
pleas that the statute of limitations
forbade their prosecution, inasmuch as
the offenses alleged In the indictments
had occurred more than three years
before the indictment was brought.
The federal circuit court held the
conspiracy charged in the indictment
had been formed and nil the overt acts
In furtherance of that conspiracy
charged to Kissel or Harned, had taken
place more than three years before the
indictment was brought, and therefore
dismissed the indictment as to them.
It was the appeal from this action
of the court that was up for argument
before the supreme court. A notable
array of lawyers is engaged in the
case, which Is expected to last several
days.

Common Sense
and Puritas
Distilled Water
They Agree Perfectly — Because
Pure Drinking Water Is a
Health Requisite, and People
with Common Sense Recog
nize This Fact
If people are to do their work prop
erly and comfortably, the body must
be well cared for. If you are to enjoy
life, have that sense of well being that
radiates health and good cheer, you
must give to the body its dve —the
proper care and the proper rest.
It Is a matter of common sense to
take good care of ourselves. We have
gotten to the point today where we
Inquire into our food supply. We will
not knowingly eat impure or "doc
tored" food. We find out what is
good for us, and get it in as pure a
Corn) as possible.
Many people nowadays are equally
careful about the water they drink.
Here In Southern California thous
ands of people drink Puritns Distilled
Water. They know that natural
waters hereabouts are full of miner
als—that these minerals cannot bo
assimilated by the body. They know
that pure, "soft" water is what tho
body needs. And, aside from tho fact
that Puritas is sparkling and delic
ious to the palate, they drink it be
cause It keeps the body sweet and
clean —because it is the only whole
some drinking water obtainable here.
Common sense people do not get
fooled on filters or other mechanical
devices that are sold on the pretense
that they purify the mineralized
water.
They know that the mineral salts
are entirely dissolved In the water—
form a part of it—and that the only
method of purifying such water Is by
entirely changing its character.
The process of distillation does this.
It turns the w^ter into steam. In this
vaporized form it is the pure part of
the water, the pure H2O. The mlnerr
uls are deposited as solld3 in the
boiler.
When the Bteam is condensed Into
water again it is pure—nothing but
water. In distilling Puritan wo per
form this process twice, because we
have found that double distillation
is essential to water purity.
We aerate Puritas with pure ozone,
passing a current of electricity
through filtered air in order to
secure it. We bottle the. pure water
in clean glass demijohns. Even tho
corka#are wrapped In foil in order
that Impure air, filtering through a
porous cork, may not affect the pure
water within.
Puritas Is very Inexpensive nnd
easy to get. Five gallons cost but
4<U: delivered within the old city
boundary lines. At outside points
the cost is a trille more, owing to the
long haul. Regular Puritas custom
ers purchase Coupon Books, thus se
curing the pure water at a discount.
