FIRE SEARS HILLS

NORTH OF fiCHUETZEN PARK
Sfp-FLAMES RAGE
Hundreds Plow Furrows and Make
Firebreaks, to Check -the Con.
'-.'.■ flagratlon— Finally Stops at
South Pasadena
The hills between South Pasadena
and Bchuetzen park were ilreswept yes
terday.
An all-day battle raged between the
residents^ ranchers and tenants who
have homes, ranches and gardens In
the hills and canyons in that plc
turosquo area.
By nightfall hundreds of tired, smoke
begrimed men and women had the
satisfaction that comes of victory over
a hard fight.
I It was a real scare that pervaded the
thriving district along tho Pasadena
Bhort lino. Along the section that
parallels the track to tho west acre
after acre of rolling- wooded land, with
thriving* estates dotted with piles of
freshly cut barley and eucalyptus
trees offered materials for a conflagra
tion, and it camo at daybreak on Bab
bath.
Somo ono near Schuetzcn park, prob
ably with a view of getting rid of, wild
mustard, had ignited a field, It was
stated, and from this beginning the
spread was swift because of the early
•wind that fanned it, coupled with the
extreme dryncss of tho harvested fields.
Graders Assist
Almost invisible at first in the sun,
but sending warnings ahead in the
growing smoko clouds, tho burning sec
tion grew wider afld wider. A hundred
Mexicans in the grading camp of the
Huntlngton system rlcar tho city llmts
wero called to usslst, and they worked
hard. As field after field was Ignited
in tho sweep toward the north the
iight grew harder.
Foreslghted residents began to use
thoir telephones and warned tho pcoplo
to tho north that time for action was
short. The warning was timely and
appreciated.
. Men forgot' church time, hitched up
their teams and began to plow furrows
around their houses.
Others got all their neighbors to
gether, and telephoned for more and
burned fire breaks as far as they could.
First scores and then hundreds were
engaged In this work all along but west
of the short line right of way.
A£\ North to Monterey Road
>'At noon the flames had mada their
way In scattered stretches almost on a
lino with Onconta Park, though west
of.lt. An hour later they had lapped
up pastures as far as Monterey road.
At that point tho property recently
bought by Gen. "Wcntworth of the Ray
mond hotel and tho A. C. Btllcko estate,
over forty acres, known as the Mari
posa knoll, were, surrounded; . These
are two of tho moat plcturesquo spots
at the south end of South Pasadena,
and beyond them lies the widely known
Cawston ostrich farm.
•Tho scores of faucets on tho Went
worth and Bllicko properties were
turned loose, all pumps wcro set to
work and as much water as could be
procured was turned down hill In rivu
lets.
In the meantime more men wore tele
phoned for and furrow after furrow was
clugto save the thousands of trees on
Mr. pillc-ke's beautiful estate.
■ Mr. Blllcke'R gardener, Hanson, hnd
a corps of assistants who fought judi
ciously and eventually they had the
surroundings perfectly guarded.
Fighters Nearly Overcome
On Gen. .Wentworth'B property Mar
cus Oroner, also a veteran landscape
gardener, used his knowledge of wood
craft and built fire breaks at each end
of the twenty-seven acre patch. Hero
several persons were nearly overcome
by smoke Rnd exhaustion. Mlsb Cecil
Annls, recently of St. Liouis, and Au
gust Suech ting; also from the same
city, were among those who as friends
of the Gronors worked with reckless
energy tn-gave their homo nnd suc
ceeded. Fred Macklln suffered sevpjre
ly from inhalation of smoke.
Marshal Reid's Work
■Having worked successfully to the
west the residents of South Pasadena
switched the ' rescue parties for the
final battle to the Leo Longley place
west of Bonlta avenue.
It Is said* that the lire came from a
llttlo blaaa along the. short-line of the
Pacific Electric near Newton's ranch,
wfileh smouldered along almost un
noticed until the excessive heat an<i
dryness caused it to (spread enor
mously, i
'Marshal Reid of South Pasadena led
the assault on the flames and had the
willing assistance of his I brother, J-ia
Verne 8. Reid, and fifty other citizens,
who fought with a will to prevent the
spread of the flames. Their efforts
met with a great measure of success,
although. a great stretch of territory
was swept. •
-At one place the fire came within
fifteen feet of a big barn on the
but was luckily prevented from going
any further.
It' was reported last night that in
spite of the wide stretch of country
covered by the fire but little real pe
cuniary loss resulted. ,
•No grain or hay fields were entirely
burned and no 'costly outbuildings, al
though 'a number of such losses were
narrowly averted.

JAPANESE SHUT
OUT COMPETITION
American and European Merchants
Complain of Existing Conditions
and Greatly Desire Another
- Treaty
"y Associated Press.
PEKIN, June 17.— Widespread and
growing dissatisfaction Its being mani
fested by American and European
merchants, banks/ and shipping firms
against the Japanese administration
in Manchuria.
The Japanese occupation continues
under the Portsmouth treaty until next
April, and in the meantime foreign
commerce is almost blocked, the Jap
anese merchants gaining advantages
which make it Increasingly difficult to
compete with them.
Foreign goods enter Manchuria
through Port Newchwang, where the
regular Chinese customs duties are
levied, while the Japanese import
through Dalny and Antung without
duty. '
Mukden and Antung aro nominally
opened to foreign trade, but for
eigners are not permitted to go inland
without Japanese passes, while many
Japanese merchants, miners nnd pro
moters are allowed to travel the coun
try free.
Foreign Merchants Complain
Foreign merchants complain that ob
stacles are placed In the way of ship
ping goods to the interior from New
chwang, as the Japanese control of the
railway gives them special advantages.
Antung and Mukilan at present are
practically worthless bases for foreign
trade because of tho difficulty in dis
tributing goods from those points. The
foreign merchants are further handi
capped by the circulation of war notes
to -an amount estimated at between
fifty and seventy-five million yen,
which can be used only In Japanese
trade. ... ' ■ •
-Large and flourishing settlements of
Japanese are located at Mukden, An
tung and other places. *'
Consul General- Sammonl visited
Mukden and Antwig to arrange with
the Chinese the details for the open-
Ing of those points to foreign trade
under the American treaty of 1903.
It is believed the Chinese are stub
bornly trying to insist on reculations
similar to those whereby Tslngtau
and Shantung were recently opened,
which gives China a greater control
of foreign settlements than In the old
treaty ports. ■

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 17.— Tho
pitiable affair at Blalystok haa ap
parently burned itself out. No further
bloodshed was reported today and no
more is expected, even by the radicals
who aro satisfied that tho authorities
are now In c.ontrol and will do every
thing possible to^srevent a renewal of
the excesses.
This confldonco is based on the action
of the governor of Grodno, who Is hated
and distrusted by tho bureaucrats and
who, after investigating tho situation
at Blalystok, took the unprecedented
stop, in order to prevent spread of the
massacres, to telegraph tho authorities
of all towns within /tho Jewish pale,
denying the alleged official reports that
the disorders wero due to tho wanton
throwing of bombs at a Christian pro
cession by' Jewish revolutionists.
On Verge of Upheaval
The general situation, however, is
hourly growing disquieting and the
country seems to be on tho verge <k
another great upheaval. In St. Peters
burg and Moscow the populaco is
greatly excited and nothing is talked of
except a general political strike, which
would bring the government to its
knees.
Tho proletariat leaders, who have
been preparing for months for a blow;
believe the moment has come to strike.
The Agrarian troubles now are sufll
clently extended and disorders in the
army are rife.
Tho government has openly refused to
accole . to the demands of parliament
and a rupture Is imminent there. ,
The strikes in .'Bt, Petersburg, nnd
Moscow, with which the movoment .was
Blurted, while based .ostensibly "on
economic grounds, really are political.
The committee of unemployed is only a
revolutionary organization, like last
fall's committee of workmen in dis
guise. Tho bakers of St. Petersburg
and adjoining towns struck today and
only the black bread eaten by the poor
was sold.
Workmen Fill Streets
- The streets were filled with crowds
of workmen.
• A monster meeting of .15,000 . Social
Democrats and workmen held this
afternoon at Teriokl, Finland, was ad
dressed by members of . the group of
toll, of parliament, and every revolu
tionary utterance was frantically ap
plauded. /■
The government appears to be wait
ing for the blow to fall before raising
its hand, and it Is reported that the
design of several ministers to raise the
question of a more actlvo policy during
tho cabinet meeting yesterday was ap
parently fruitless.
Heavy patrols have been placed In
tho streets and the railroad stations
aro occupied by troops but no action
has been taken to stop the agitation.
Tho emperor is reported to be spending
nost of his time playing tennis at
Peterhof.

An unidentified youth met death in

Before the eyes of 2000 persons on the
beach who did not realize that his was
a death struggle tho boy sank and hie
body floated out seaward.
Only when the unclaimed suit was
noticed at the Surf bath house was the
fact really established that the boy
had been drowned.
Some little hero jumped off the
nearest pier and swam to the unfor
tunate's rescue, but too late. This
plucky youngster would not glvo his
name.
Tho lad who died was probably 14 or
15 years old and was bathing between

The Sunday crowds on shore and in
the surf disported themselves regard
loss of the tragedy beyond tho breakers,
few realizing that a life was then in
the balance.
The lad made no outcry and only a
few persons on the pier seemed to
notice his distress, and one, as stated,
Jumped in after the struggling fellow.
He got beyond the danger Tine, how
ever, and was lost to (Bight.
As the. body has not . been recovered
llttlo can be ascertained about him, as
his clothes bear no marks of Identity.

stakes alone and for whom the owner,
James R. Keene, refused an offer of
$100,000, died today at Sheepshead Bay

The horse had long been suffering
from aggravated eczema. The post
mortem showed that while the direct
cause of death wan not skin disease it
was probably the remote cause.
Death was actually due to blood
poisoning, originating; In a badly
bruised frog of the right forefoot. This
bruise doubtless resulted from the
horse stamping in the stall because of
the Irritation caused by eczema.
The frog of the foot | was terribly
bruised and a mesh of small blood ves
sels was found there.
An abscess formed t and the : entire
edVonet was found full of -pus. The
spleen and liver were found greatly en
