MAN DIES TRYING
TO RESCUE GIRL
Swimmer Drowns in Attempt to
Save Bather Caught in
Tide Rip Off Venice
HIS BODY IS NOT RECOVERED
Woman in Distress Saved-Wife
of Victim Had Premoni
tion of Casualty
VENICE, Aug. 15.—John H. Ridge
way, a clerk in the Los Angflcs offices
of the Salt Lake railway, who lived
with his wlfo and family at 39 Virginia
avenue, this city, was drowned in the
ocean off here this morning in an at
tempt to rescue Bertha F. Hartnal of
Pasadena, who, while In bathing, was
caught In a tide rip and was being
carried out to sea. She was saved
from death by C. A. Glougie, a mer
chant of Oander, Cal. Rldgeway's
body has not been recovered.
It was while Ridgeway waa making
headway In the direction of the drown
ing young woman that he disappeared
beneath the breakers and was lost to
sight. Hlh body was seen later by
life savers, who dove Into the break
ers In the- hope of recovering it. No
trace of the body has since been seen
and it is thought to have been carried
to sea by the outgoing tide.
Rldgewny and his wife entered the
Burf at the foot of Virginia avenue
this morning shortly after 7 o'clock,
us was their daily custom. Neither
one could swim, and It was their prac
tice to remain on the land side of the
breakers. Miss Hartnal, her mother,
Mrs. W. E. Hartnal, and Frank Short,
an attorney and politician of Fresno,
were bathing at the name time. Glou
gie was in the surf at a point further
down the beach.
Unaware of the strong tide that
was ebbing, Short and Miss Hartnal
ventured outside the line of the
combers, and soon found themselves
becoming exhausted by their struggles
to return to land. Despite his exerting
every possible ounce of strength Short
was unable to aid Miss Hartnal and
wa smaklng for the short to get assist
ance for the girl.
The roar of the surf prevented those
on the beach from hearing Short's
cries for help. Glougie and Ridgeway
discovered the predicament of Miss
Hartnal and both rushed into the surf
only a short distance from where she
could be seen stretching her arms to
ward her friends for help
A crowd of women gathered on shore
at the tries. No one seemed to possess
sufficient presence of mind to notify
the life-savers and members of the
corps did not appear on the scene until
some time after Miss Hartnal had
been removed to a place of safety.
Ridgeway was missed and Gloughie
and other bathers made vain attempts
to find him. Mrs. Ridgeway stood on
the shore wringing her hands and call
ing on all to aid In the search for her
husband. Knowing that ho could not
swim, friends of the Ridgeways said
she asked her husband not to risk his
life in the breakers, but at the cali of
distress he went to the rescue of the
woman bather. Ridgeway was known
to be venturesome in time of need, and
on previous occasions he Is said to
have aided others materially at great
risk to himself.
Following the accident Mrs. Ridge
way declared that only last week a
fortune-teller warned her husband to
remain away from the water, Intimat
ing that he would be In great danger
of death. Mrs. Ridgeway said that
when she and her husband donned
their bathing suits and walked toward
the beach this morning she felt an In
explicable dread of the water and ex
acted a promise from Ridgeway to re
main close In shore.
Glougie, who Is 36 years of age and
a powerful swimmer, was almost ex
hausted when he got to shore with
Miss Hartnal, who rested unconscious
In his arms. He reached her side
Just as she had given up the struggle
and was sinking. It required Beveral
hours' work to revive the half drowned
woman.
During the search for the body of
Ridgeway Captain Tom Wilde and
Dan Mull of the life saving corps,
came within a few feet of the drowned
body of Ridgeway, but because of the
tidal currents were unable to reach
it before it disappeared.
Ridgeway came here with his family
from Detroit, where he held a re
sponsible position in the general of
fices of the Michigan Central railway
for 20 years. A married daughter,
Mrs. James Belford, resides In that
city. Ridgeway was actively Identified
with Y. M. C. A. work in the Michigan
metropolis. The family was prepar
ing to move to Los Angeles tomorrow.
The drowned man leaves a mother,
a 20-year-old daughter and a young
son.
THREE PERSONS SAVED BY
LONG BEACH LIFE GUARDS
LONG BEACH, Aug. 15.—C. D.
Kirby and Ernest Scott, lifeguards
employed at the new Golden avenue
life saving station, today rescued two
bathers from the surf. One was B. N.
Shattie, aged 55, of Los Angeles, who
had become helplessly involved In a
tide rip, and the other was a woman
whose name was not ascertained, but
who was unable to extricate herself
from the undertow after venturing out
farther than she should have. Both
these persons were in a weakened con
dition when reached by the guards.
Yesterday afternoon F. E. Stltzer and
William Mehler, guards employed by
the bath house company, rescued C.
H. Winks of Los Angeles from a peril
ous position. He had been seized with
cramps and clinging' for life to a piling
under the pier. His arms and legs
were cut by coming in contact with the
barnacled piling and he was quite ex
hausted when reached by the guards.
Stitzer swam to him and held him
until Mehler arrived with the lifeboat.

[Asnoelatfti Preisl
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 15.—Threatened
with death unless the prosecution of
Adolph Schonek, accused of arson.
Is dropped, the homes and offices of
Superior Judge W. R. Guy, District
Attorney H. S. TJtley, Chief of Police
Keno Wilson and Detective Joseph
Myers, are being guarded night and

The lives of all four were threatened
by letters mailed at Los .. Angeles,
Santa Barbara, Sacramento rj and
Stockton, the " writer In each case
signing himself as either "firebug" or
"enemy of oppression." The hand
writing •of each letter Is the . same,
apparently, and the first of the let

In the trial of Schonek,. who. Is sus

this city, disagreed ' and the , district
attorney announced that he would be
tried again.
The postal authorities have been
notified of the sending of the letters
through the mails and the: investiga

made to find out who the writer is,
but as far as known the clews are
slight.
Coupled with the "firebug" letters,
which were a feature of the trial and
the arrival of a letter from Los An

authorship of all the letters is one of
the most puzzling the police depart

EVIDENCE WITHHELD
AT ELMORE INQUEST
British Authorities Bottle Up Case
Until Return of Crippen
and the Girl
LONDON, Aug. 16.—Spectators who
filled the little coroner's court at
Islington today, where the investiga
tion oi the Crippen murder mystery
was continued, were disappointed.
They expected to hear of sensational
discoveries in connection with the re
mains, supposed to be those of Belle
Elmore, found in a cellar of the Crip
pen residence in Hilldrop Crescent.
The physicians In charge of the case
were responsible for the disappoint
ment, having decided to withhold the
scientific evidence regarding the nature
and identity of the remains until Dr.
Crippen and Miss Leneve return and
have an opportunity to attend the
court if they so desire.
In consequence of the death of Cor
oner Thomas a week ago, it was neces
sary to make a fresh start in the in
quest proceedings now presided over by
the deputy coroner, Dr. Schroeder. The
remains supposed to be those of Belle
Elmore were again viewed by the jury,
and the hearing opened with a brief
recital of the known facts by Dr.
Schroeder, who intimated that the in
quiry, was likely to be a protracted one.
Solicitor Newton, who was retained by
friends of Dr. Crippen and whose serv
ices were accepted by the latter by
cable, was in attendance. Solicitor J.
H. Watts represented . Miss Leneve.
Some of the more formal evidence
given at the first hearing was repeated
and a new witness, Mrs. Belinda May,
secretary of the Musjc Hall Ladles'
guild, of which Belle Elmore was treas
urer, took the stand. She testified that
at Christmas time Mrs. Crippen com
plained that her sleep was disturbed by
a choking sensation as if she was going
to die. She further stated that on Feb
ruary 2 Miss Leneve brought to her a
pass book, check book and a letter in
Dr. Crippen's handwriting saying that
Belle Elmore was going- away for a
few months and asking that the guild
elect a new treasurer.
Superintendent Froest of Scotland
yard informed the court that he ex
pected Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve
to arrive in England in about three
weeks, after which the proceedings
were adjourned until September 12.
DR. CRIPPEN MAY NOW BE
TAKEN BACK TO ENGLAND
QUEBEC, Aug. 15.—Dr. Crippen and
Miss Leneve may now be taken back
to England for trial on a charge of
murder awaiting them there as soon as
the order for their release comes from
the provincial authorities. Tonight
they completed the fifteen days under
arrest In Canada required by the
fugitive offenders' act. Inspector Dew
said he did not know on what boat he
would sail, as his plans depend upon
the arrival of the order from Ottawa.
He is- expected, however, to lose no
time In getting Crippen and Miss
Leneve to the other side. -
Except for the automatic expiration
of the fifteen days limit the case today
was without legal features. Miss
Leneve spent the afternoon answering
the letter from her sister brought from
London by Sergeant Mitchell. Crippen,
it was leartfed today, has been per
mitted to mall to his London attorney
a long letter relating to his case.

Captain So States in Report to
Insular Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Oysters
grow on trees In Porto Rico, fish that

election today will be the first test in
the state of this new law. Tho voter
should go to the polls realizing the
primary election at which he will cast
his,ballot today takes the place of the
old party convention. It supplants the
system by which certain unrepresenta
tive "delegates" (bought and sold by
the corrupt interests) assembled, and—
regardless) of character, efficiency or
public preference — nominated their
candidate for each office and then re
turned home to aid in some nefarious
scheme to elect them, in spite of pub
lic opposition.
The politicians who controlled thosjj
conventions were called "the push;"
the wire-pullers and dupes who at
tended to the elective work constituted
the "machine."
VOTERS GIVEN FIRST CHANCE
At the primary election today the
voters will do their own nominating;
they have their first chance to vote for
clean, honest and efficient men; to
make their own selections from the
long lists of candidates; to say WHO
shall represent them in the various
executive, legislative and judicial de
partments of our government.
The "machine" and the "push" have
not been idle. The "push" held no
convention, but its members went
about their work silently and secretly,
and induced certain men to run for
office on whom Walter Parker, W. F.
Herrln and the corporation "bosses"
can rely. The push has circulated the
nominating petitions of these candi
dates and filed them. The "push,"
therefore, is represented on both tick
ets. It has managed to place its men
before the voters, and has resorted to
every argument, to every pretext, to
every effort to deceive the voters and
to make the people believe that it is
"out of politics." It has made a con
centrated effort to insure the nomina
tion of these men. Every politician
who depends for a living on the re
election of a "push" Incumbent, or on
the nomination of a "push 1' candidate,
has been working day and night to in
sure the success of the "push" ticket.
Of course they have Invented argu
ments, they have made flowery ap
peals to sentiment; they have boosted
and praisod. begged and pleaded, pa
tronized and promised, all over the
state, In the hope of nominating the
"push" politicians from whom they ex
pect to receive their bread and butter
during the next four years. And, on
the other hand, they have spent their
spare time denouncing the candidates
put up by the good government forces.
Every manner of lie has been told;
every conceivable misrepresentation
circulated; every possible defamation
published to defeat the candidates rep
resenting the decent citizens of Cali
fornia.
VOTERS TO CHOOSE
As a voter you will help to decide
the destiny of California; you will ex
ert today an influence one way or an
other—an influence for the good, or an
influence for the bad. If you stay at
home, you will make It possible for
the "push" to win. If you go to the
polls and vote wrong, you make it still
more possible; if you vote right, you
will be encouraging the high ideals
and progressive standards of the re
vitalized Democracy and Republican
ism of the Golden state.
If you are a Republican, or if you
are a Democrat, bear In mind that the
primary election today TAKES THE
PLACE OF THE OLD-TIME CON
VENTION, and that, therefore, your
vote will help to decide whether good,
clean candidates or pernicious "push"
politicians are to be nominated as your
party's choice for the next genora!
election, November 8. A great deal
depends on who your party nominates.
As a loyal and honest citizen, It is
your duty to see that your party nom
inates CLEAN men. You are virtually
a delegate to the "public convention"
today, at which you are to nominate
your party's candidates.
If you are a Republican, bear in
mind that the Republican party In
California is going to the polls today,
divided into two factions. One fac
tion represents the modern Republi
cans—the progressives, the so-called
"insurgents," the men who are op
posed to the Southern Pacific political
machine; who are opposed to the dis
graceful political activities of any and
all trusts, corporations and "invested
interests"; who are opposed to the
domination of our government by the
tools, dupes and bosses of predatory
wealth; who seek to rid the county
and state of such notorious tyrants as
Walter Parker and W. F. Herrin, and
t > rid the national government of such
autocratic and misrepresentative poll
.ticians as Speaker Cannon, Senators
Aldrich, Payne, etc. These men and
these forces, which have been devoted
to the upbuilding, expansion and re
form of the Republican party, have
banded* together in what is known as
the Lincoln-Roosevelt league.
REITBLICAN CONTKST
In Los Angeles county the Lincoln-
Roosevelt league is made up of the
best citizens, men from all walks of
life—conscientious, sincere and faith
ful to the interests of California,
where they have made their permanent
homes, where their capital—large or
small—has been invested, and where
the result of those investments is de
pendent on the policy and purpose of
the various departments of the gov
ernment. These men are not profes
sional politicians, but citizens—tax
payers—who want to place the Re
publican party on a platform of the
highest Republican principles, and who
seek, through that party, to save the
state from the political machine which
has so disgraced and domineered it
for many years; who seek, through
that party, to establish' the higher
ideals and progressive principles and
reforms of such men as Lincoln and
Roosevelt.
These Lincoln-Roosevelt men, there
fore, have been extremely careful in
indorsing their candidates. The po
litical affiliations, the personal char
acter, the sympathies and efficiency
of each any every candidate who
sought the indorsement of the league
was carefully and earnestly investi
gated before the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league gave out its indorsement. It
may have mude mistakes; there may
be one or two men on the ticket not
quite so good as some other would
be; but it is a fight of principle, a
tromendous battle in which more than

TWO Pt'SH DEMOCRATS
On the other side, opposing the good
government candidates of the Lincoln-
Roosevelt league, are the candidates
brought out by the "machine," the so
called "regular Republicans," repre
senting the Southern Pacific push. Will
you.vote for them? Think for a mo
ment before you decide. Ask your
self your duty. Remember the issues
that are at stake. Don't scratch the
ticket. If you are an honest Demo
crat vote only for Democratic candi
dates. Vote only for the candidates
indorsed at the Long Beach conference.
There are two contests on in the
Democratic primaries. The Southern
Pacific push has placed two men on
the Democratic ticket whom every
good Democrat should oppose. Their
records have been repeatedly exposed
by The Herald. These men are Henry
McDonald, so-called Democratic can
didate for the state senate from the
Thirty-eisrhth senatorial dlstric'. VOTE
AGAINST HIM by voting FOR Mar
tin Bekins, the Democratic candidate
indorsed at the Long Beach confer
ence.
The other discredited Democrat who
represents the "push" Is Enoch Hid
den, candidate for (supervisor from
the Third sup?rvisorial district. VOTE
AGAINST HIM by voting FOR J. L.
Mansfield.
DO NOT WRITE IN THE NAME
OP ANY REPUBLICAN ON THE
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY BALLOT,
for If you do YOUR VOTE WILL BE
LOST. A vote for a Republican can
didate on a Democratic primary bal
lot IS A VOTE FOR HIS DEMO
CRATIC NOMINATION and will not
count for a Republican candidate ex
cept as a Democratic vote. U does
not add to his Republican votes.
There is only ONE Republican for
whom a Democrat should voty at the
election today, and that Republican is
A. B. Nye, state controller, whose
honesty and efficiency caused the Dem
ocrats of California to leave a blank
on the Democratic ticket as a mark
of respect and appreciation, so the
Democratic voters may write in his
name and he may receive both the
Democratic and Republican nomina
tions. State Controller Nye is the only
Incumbent whom the Democrats have
ho honored and the only Incumbent
they desire to see re-elected.
Captain J. D. Fredericks, district at
torney of Los Angeles county, and his
deputies and friends, have been send
ing out hundreds of letters urging the
Democrats to write in Captain Fred
ericks' name for the Democratic nom
ination. It Is hardly necessary to call
attention to the fact that this Is the
most pernicious politics possible. It is
safe to say, however, that the only
Democrats who write In the names of
Republicans on the Democratic ticket
today (other than the name of A. B.
Nye) will be "machine" Democrats—
and their misinformed dupes.
Briefly summarized, the good govern
ment Republican voters are urged to
cast their vote today for the Lincoln-
