HEART FAILURE
SUCCEEDS BATH
Couth Pasadena Contractor It Found
in a Dying Condition Following a
Bath in Which a Drug
Had Been Dissolved
Pasadena Agency,
7 North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 18U7, Home 2124.
PASADENA, May 26.— Madison A.
Tipton, aged 55 years, a well known
building contractor living on Magnolia
avenue, South Pasadena, lost his life
at a late hour last night while taking a
bath In the bath room of his residence.
He has been somewhat troubled with
rheumatism and has been accustomed
to dissolve a small quantit- of cyanide
of potassium in the water of his bath
before bathing in the belief that the
simple remedy would assist in the cure
of his trouble.
Apparently when he prepared the bath
last night he put too much of the medi
cine in the water, so that its effect upon
the heart was too severe, bringing
death. This is the supposition, at least,
although the coroner will investigate in
a formal way, holding an inquest Mon
day at 3 p. m. at the funeral porlors of
Ives & Warren In this city.
Mr. Tipton lived with hiß wife and
three children, and according to their
statements was in the best of spirits
yesterday. As soon as his condition was
discovered a surgeon was called and for
several hours everything possible was
done to save the dying man's life, but
in vain. There Is no hint of suicide and
the Incident is looked upon as purely
accidental.

BLINN TELLS PLANS
OF LUMBER COMPANY
Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 26.— President
L. W. BUnn of the Bllnn-Roblnson
Lumber company of Los Angeles has
stated that his company would put up
the proposed large mill and plant at
West Long Beach as soon as the con
troversy between the city and the Salt
Lake Railway company has been set
tled.
It developed that the Salt Lake Rail
way company recently sent to this city
a prospectus of the deed which they
proposed to place in escrow, giving to
Long Beach certalr rights and privi
leges, but that the document seemed
to the city trustees and city attorney
to be "covered with strings" and not
in accordance with the agreement en
tered into by the railway's representa
tives and the harbor committee of the
chamber of commerce.
The deed has been returned for re
vision. After it has been acceptably
drawn up and placed In escrow the
council will adopt certain resolutions
causing the streets between Fourth and
Eighth, at West Long Beach, to be
formally abandoned. The lumber com
pany will build between these two
Streets.

pital this evening to be out of dan-

That they should escape serious in

lsI Is said to be doing finely. . Wold is also
badly bruised, but It appears that no
bones are broken. Both Miss Hart and

DEFINITE ACTION PROMISED
IN LIFE SAVING CORPS
Special to The Herald.
VENICE, May 26.— Definite action In
the matter of installing a life-saving
service here will be taken tomorrow
evening ut the Kinney company's of
fice, when Harbor Master G. H. Gray,
who has the arrangements in hand,
will address a number of local young
men on the subject and will accept
from among them volunteers to comp
ose three crews which he proposes to
muster Into the service.
The rJlan calls for the organization of
a swimming crew, a seamen crew and
a novice crew, each of which will be
put through a course of systematic
training to be directed by an instructor
having had considerable experience in
rescue work. Orders have been placed
for the construction of two lifeboats
and a catamaran, a vessel having air
tight compartments and said to be
especially adapted for rescue purposes,
and it is expected the equipment will
be available for immediate use by
the Ist of June. The three boats will
have stationary moorings in the shelter

lishment of the service and who will
qualify for places on the life-saving
corps are: Capt. P. M. Grant, E. Kline,
Andy Anderson, Al Chase, Carl Han
son, Capt. Sharp, Charles Chrlstiand
son and W. H. Fair. Life-saving sta
tions, for which arrangements are now

will co-operate in all matters affecting
them.

viously designated The Midway, was
formally opened to the public and
proved a popular hub for the amuse
ment seekers. An exhibition of Japa
nese athletics by natives of the

miles of the new trail up Mt. Wilson
this forenoon according to his own
figures In exactly 49 minutes.
Returning he arrived at the bottom
of the trail in 45 minutes, stopping five
different times to take photographs.
This Is the first vehicle of the kind
and probably the first wheeled vehicle
of any sort to mount this mlle-hlgh
peak. Friday afternoon the contractor
who has been engaged on the trail for
about a year announced the completion
of his labors. Preparations were be
gun at once for the first complete trip
of the observatory auto-truck to the
summit of the mountain over the trail.
Loudenclos, who is an enthusiastic
young motorcyclist and secretary of the
local club, went part of the way up the
trail some days ago, but was prevented
from reaching the top by the blasting
which was still going on there. At 8
o'clock this forenoon he left his home
In this city Intent on making the whole
trip. By 11 a. m. he was back>with the
story of his success.
Visitors at the Mt. Wilson hotel on
the summit were astonished at about
9 o'clock to hear the chug-chug of a
motorcycle on the trail, then the ma
chine shot into sight, the driver calmly
navigating the various lesser trails
around the hotel and then caimiy with
out more than a smile at the entlrus*
iasm of the crowd disappearing again
down the trail toward the foot of the
mountain. Manager Beard endeavored
to stop the motorcyclist, expecting to
congratulate him on his feat and to
give him the seat of honor at the hotel
dinner" table, but Loudenclos was too
Intent on making the round trip in
record time, and according to advices
did so with a vengeance.
He states that he experienced very
little if any difficulty in making either
the ascent or the descent and found
the trail In excellent condition. His
success Is expected to lead v other ad
venturesome spirits to attempt the trail
on motorcycles.
Manager Beard, now sole owner of
the Mt. Wilson hotel, offers properly to
entertain the first automobile party
which shall mount the new trail. It
looks as though the burro trains up
Mt. Wilson are about doomed before
the march of this up-to-date means of
passenger and freight transportation.

THUNDER STORM IS
CAUSE OF FIRE LOSS
epeelftl to The Herald.
PASADENA, May 28.- The Crown
City was visited by a genuine back
east thunder storm this afternoon, ac
companied by a considerable fall of
rain. At intervals during the after
noon the flash of lightning and the roll
of thunder were vivid reminders of the
April shower* «o common outside of
California. In the mountains rain fell
in torrents driving hundreds of pic
nickers to shelter.
During tho storm a number of fuses
were burned out about the city and
at least one flre was directly traceable
to the lightning flashes. At about 5:30
this evening, during the liveliest ex
hibition of celectlal fireworks, the flre
department received a call from the
millionaire home of Charles P. Wil
liams at the northeast corner of Buena

the suggestion of Mayor Earley, Chief
Clifford sent out the chemical engine to
render assistance. It was discovered
that lightning communicating through
the elecVric light wires had set flre
to a portion of the wall. Owing to the
difficulty of reaching the smoldering
flre it took some time to extinguish the
blaze, but it was done at last and with
only a nominal loss.
This Incident served to remind the
South Pasadena neighborhood of its
urgent need for better flre protection
of its own.

with flowers and laden with the choic

the host, joined hearily in making
merry with the public opinion molders.
In a characteristic address he told them
that although as yet he considered Ven
ice in the lusty youngster class
under "broad-gauged" Ideas the resort
will very shortly approach the pinnacle
that he has set for it.
Mr. Ktnney asserted that the railway
was co-operating nicely with his busi
ness management and that he was
strong as ever In his determination to
make Venice the cleanest and one of
the most attractive of beach resorts in

At tho close of Mr. Kinney's remarks

way being in sympathy with his plans
for betterment of local conditions, as
far as lay in the railway's power, and
he assured his hearers that no one was
better satisfied than the Los Angeles
Pacific officials as to the great develop
ment of which Venice Is on the eve.

close by announcing that he had been
requested to present to President
George Glover of the press association
the wishes of the association that he
live long and happily and that he carry
with him its further evidence of esteem
for him in the handsome "gold watch
and fob" which he held" In his hand.
Apparently Just as he was about to re
pume his seat Mr. Gabel remembered
something more, and again iddresßltig
Mr. Glover presented him with a "solid
gold' scarf pin" as a memento from
the railway company. The presents,
which were of the mock variety and
worth together about two bits, elicited
a response bristling with broad humor
from Mr. Glover, who had not seen
through the joke until the articles had
been passed to him. Others who made
brief talks were C. H. Eberle, C. N.
Whltaker, E. P. Trultt* C. H. Randall

WOMAN DROPS BAG
INTO DEEP WATER
Special to The Herald.
VENICE, May 2ft— Local boatmen
spent several hours this afternoon in a
vain attempt to locate by means of
glasses a handbag containing money
and jewels dropped from the Inner side
of the breakwater into the sea by Mrs.
J. S. Steely, who with her husband,
who is a prominent El Paso, Tex., at
torney, is summering at 29 West
minster avenue.
Mrs. Steely dropped the bag while
leaning on the railing which surrounds
the breakwater promenade. The handle
broke and slipped through her fingers.
Several of the members of the Ha
waiian 0.-ehestra, who claimed to have
had experience in diving for shells In
their native land, discussed diving for
the treasure, but were dissuaded by
their fellow musicians, who believed
that the rocky bed Into which the bag
sunk offered too many dangers to make
a try at its recovery worth while.
The bag, Mrs. Steely said, contained
$15 in currency, several pieces of costly
jewelry and numerous keepsakes and
correspondence of value to her only.

LONG BEACH MAN IS
INVENTOR OF
Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 26.— Fred Har
vey Brown, an electrician, of 806 Main
street, this city, has just perfected an
apparatus whereby phonograph music
can be heard by a wireless device by
any one who wears it and by no one
else. The company owning the Long
Beach skating rink is contemplating
placing a Victor phonograph in the
center of the large rink and arrang
ing with Brown to furnish his patent
transmitters to all skaters so that they
can get the benefit of the music. The
phonograph would bo started as in an
ordinary talking machine, but only
those who place the wire coll on their
heads and have the transmitters at
tached to their ears can hear the
music under Brown's arrangement.
Pasadena capitalists have taken
Brown's device urffler consideration
and may decide, It is reported, to place
the apparatus in a large playhouse in
Los Angeles. Manikins of the various
famous singers will be constructed to.
lend realistic effect, it is said, if the
latter scheme is carried out.
