THREE INQUESTS HELD IN ONE DAY NEW CORONER INVESTIGATES ACCIDENTAL DEATHS Unidentified Man Killed at Squab Sta tion by Mistaking Tracks—Jap. anese Jumped from High Speeding Car Three inquests were hold yesterday by Coroner Calvin Hartwell. The first was over the body of "John Doe," killed by a Southern Pacific train while walk ing on the track near Squab station. The engineer of the train, which con sisted of nine sleeping cars traveling ;it the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, saw the man and whistled repeatedly. The man was on an opposite track, and jus! as the train reached him jumped in front of the engine and was killed. Evidently he thought he was jumping away from it. After hearing tho testimony the jury returned a verdict stating the victim came to his death "by a fracture of the skull caused by suddenly stepping in front of a Southern Pacific train near Squab station," and exonerating the train crew from blame. The identity of tho ilea'. man is un known. He wore a cheap suit of clothe*, was about 52 or 53 years old, partly bald, had light hair, light blue eyes light mustache and the figure of a dancing girl tattooed on his left fore arm. He had a key and $2.40 in his pocket. Nothing was found to indicate hi. name. ' The second inqucs. was over the re mains of I. Shinbara, a Japanese, 32 years old, who jumped from a Pacific Electric ear going at the rate of forty iniics nn hour between Vlgnolo ana Cortea on the Santa Ana line January lg The man got on the car thinking it was going to Los Angeles, and when he learned to the contrary jumped off. He was paralyzed as tho result of tho fall and died February 2. He was em ployee as cook at a grading camp. The jury rendered a' verdict to the effect that the man came to his death by stepping off a rapidly moving Pacific Electric car on the Santa Ana line, and held the car cre-v not to blame for the accident. The other inquest was held at Comp ton over the body of Charles M. Mo Daury, aged 57, a printer working for a Compton newspaper. The verdict was that the man died as the result of an hemorrhage of the lungs.

The accident occurred at the intersec tion of Sixth and Figueroa streets, and seems to have been unavoidable. According to statements of Maier, Dr. William Manning 1325 South Hop» street, and Harry Sanger, who were in the car with Maier, the machine was being driven east on Sixth street at a speed not to exceed ten miles an hour. Ah they came to the street crossing Maier saw Abbott crossing the street and Bounded his horn two or three times. Abbott looked at the machine and then started forward, hesitated a mo r.-.ent and, as the machine swerved to one side to pass' him, stepped back di rectly li. front of it. Picked Up Unconscious Abbott was struck and knocked down to one side. "The machine was stopped within forty feet,' said Maier, "and we went tack and picked the man up. Ho waa unconscious, but breathing. We placed him in the machine and drove as fast as possible to the Good Samaritan hos pital." Abbott died within a few minutes after he had been received at the hos pital and the body was later removed to the morgue. As soon as Maier found the man to be dying he drove to the central police sta tion and reported the accident to the police. 'He expressed the greatest re pret because of the accident, but stated that it was entirely unavoidable. Abbott had left his wife but a few minutes before the accident and was orl the way to a grocery store to make a purchase for their supper. WIFE DIVORCED FROM CONGRESSMAN'S SON Estelle C.

CITY ASSERTS RIGHTS FOR VACATION OF HILL STREET CHARGES PROPERTY OWNER HAS RETAINED FRONTAGE Accused Claims Municipality Has No Legal Title, Hence the Whole Question May Be Carried Into Court The city engineer's office has taken up for quick settlement the case in volving the vacation of the north end O;.' Hill street by the city in return for certain concessions granted by Will W. Beach. Mr. Beach, according to the engineer, has constructed cement steps agreed on, but has retained valuable frontage of fifty feet which he was expected to deed to the city for park purposes. In extenuation of his failure to carry out the terms of his agreement Beach states that after the vacation ordinance was passed he discovered that the city had no legal title to the street and that a quit claim to him would have been sufficient. The city engineer's office recom mends: That Beach place the two lower cement posts of the steps at once, but that the placing of the upper one be deferred until the grade of Hill street Is. fixed. That the subject be referred to the city attorney to ascertain the city's '.r.gal rights. That such subsequent action be taken by the board of public works as seems proper to secure title to the remaining parcels of land and the performance of. the work agreed upon.

BUT IN VAIN SEEKS SWEETHEART'S SIDE AS LIFE BLOOD FLOWS Man She Loved Dies from Accidental Pistol Shot, but Fiancee Demon. strates Heroic Loyalty in Last Hours Hacing with death, a young woman won a temporary victory over the de stroyer yesterday when Miss Belle Hunter of Troplco sped in an auto mobile to the side of Edward F. O'Con nell, her fiance, who lay dying in a pool of tlood in the Pacoima wash, near San Fernando. O'Connell was fatally wounded by the accidental discharge of his revolver, which fell from his hip pocket as he Jumped across a gully. Clinging to the seat in the swaying automobile, the white-faced girl urged c. <;. Wilkinson to speed his machine to the limit. One prayer passed her itps: "Let me tell him goodby before you take him from me." Straining every ounce of the big car's capacity, Wilkinson succeeded in reaching the unfortunate young man before he had lost consciousness from loss of blood. Throwing herself beside her lover, Miss Hunter attended his wound and then assisted In carrying him to a near by ranch house. She could not be driven from his side during the long night. Was Out Hunting O'Connell was returning with his companion, William Coule, from a suc cessful day's hunt in the arroyo near Facolma, when the aoldent occurred. As he leaped across the ditch, the weapon was dislodged from his hip pocket and fell to the ground, butt down. The hammer struck against a ttone and the bullet was discharged into O'Connell'a right breast, and passed through his body and out near the spine. O'Connell carried a shotgun in his hands, which impeded his jump and caused the revolver to fall. Quickly perceiving his companion's serious condition, William Coule ran the two miles to San Fernando and notified the friends of the young man by telephone. C. G. Wilkinson rushed to the scene of the aocldent in a huge automobile, but In the short time required for the trip O'Connell had become no weak trom loss of. blood that he could not be removed to his home, so was. taken to j, nearby ranch house.

VENTIVE OF WAR Organization Heart an Interesting Discussion of Japanese Situation by Man Who Lived There Fifteen Years . ',-A meeting was held yesterday In Choral hall at the Temple auditorium for the purpose of establishing an or ganization to be known as the South ern California Peace society of Los Angeles. The meeting was presided over by Dr. Warren F. Day. The opening prayer was delivered by Dr., J. Q. A. Henry of the First Baptist church and the Whittler Glee club added interest to the occasion by singing choice songs. Robert C. Root gave a short talk, out lining the aim and purpose of the so ciety, and the principal address was delivered by Dr. H. H. Guy of the Christian church, recently from Japan. Dr. Guy lived In Japan for fifteen years, and during that time went through the Chinese-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars. Dr. Guy said: 'in my mind there never was a war that could not have been avoided by the aid of arbitration. People that stir up a war are not the ones to do the fighting. The finances and the entire life of the country are always left in a broken conditionand the property gained is never near the cost required to gain It. Until the people of this nation become educated up .to the fact that peace and good will toward our fellow man should prevail, we must expect war.' Dr. Guy also spoke along the lines of the present trouble brewing be tween Japan and this country. He said: "When Japan prepares for war she does not do it through the news papers, but her preparations are car ried on very secretly and at the same time she Is spreading the news that she does not contemplate war and Is not preparing for it, but when she pre pares for war it is through her arsen als. In Japan I lived near an arsenal and there was nothing going on there to Indicate that Japan was preparing for war. All this talk is the creation of imagination." Other meetings will bo held in the near future and announced later.

"LOST THINGS" IS TOPIC OF REVIVAL SERVICES Interesting Evangelistic Meeting Held at First Baptist Church Under Direction of Rev. J. Q. A. Henry The revival services now In progress at the First Baptist church have opened auspiciously. Considering the weather, the congregations have been large and the interest deep. Dr. Henry is speaking this week on "Lost Things.'.' His topic last night was "The Lost Bible." He showed how during the reign of idolatry and sin the book of the law was lost, but that when the nation was on the point of destruction It was providentially discovered and obedience to its teach ings gave the kingdom of Judah a new lease of life. He emphasized the enor mous value of the scriptures in the de velopment of personal character and in the preservation of national life. The singing of Professor Stout was greatly enjoyed. Dr. Henry's topic tonight will be "The Lost Christ," and Professor Stout will render "The Singer," being a graphic description of the death of P. P. Bliss. He will also sing "Over the Dead Line."

This was at 3:30 o'clock, when the shopping crowds were thick between Third and Fourth streets. Coming like a flash into the street, with m clatter that was an alarm, plunging madly and running like derby winners, a team, drawing a light spring wagon, caused everything In the street to turn aside. The runaways were young, strong animals, and they seemed not to feel the restraining hold of a courageous young man of stout build, who stood up as he performed the dif ficult feat of avoiding collision and seeking to restrain the frightened animals. But what alarmed the spectators most was the presence of three small boys sitting; on the tailboard of tttfl wagon bed. They were huddled to gether too scared to know what to do or to do it if they did know. One was a tiny little fellow, who bounced with the plunging of the wagon bed, and it was these three little ones that caused the gasps and the smothered shrieks. Before the horses had gone half a block the single-trees broke and fell at their heels, still held by the stout traces. The driver, seeing this, seemed to cease efforts at restraint and devoted his skill to keeping the runa ways out of collision. In this ho did admirably, for when the team dashed across Fourth street it missed several vehicles narrowly, scooted around a trolley car and, finding a clear track ahead, for the excitement had elec trically speeded ahead of the runaway, the horses tore south with the driver standing and the single-trees clatter- Ing at the horses' heels. Nearly every one ran into the street, and as far as those who were high enough could see the team ran on until it disappeared. No chariot driver in the old Roman circus ever performed with the skill of the driver of this team and his fear seemed to be mostly about the boys, for he turned once or twice toward them. Between Third and Fourth streets, whether by accident or design, one of the boys tumbled out of the wagon, picked himself up and disap peared in the crowd. So far as is known, no one was hurt and the team was finally stopped, ex hausted.
