ENDS LIFE AT LIBRARY DOOR FRANK PALLAS TAKES CYANIDE AND SHUFFLES OFF Lived Checkered Career, Was Once In Gun Fight and Frequently Spoke of Late of Ending It All—Soldiered In Philippines—Domestic Troubles Undertaker Terry and August McAuley were driving to the Southern Pacific depot at 6:30 o'clock on Thursday morning with a body to be shipped east, when as they were passing the Carnegie library they saw the outstretched form of a man lying in front of the library door. The man's arms were outstretched, his legs were crossed, and he lay in the awkward position of one dead. "That man is dead as sure as shooting," said Terry as his experienced eye surveyed the situation. They continued on to the depot, where a telephone message was sent the authorities. On their way back, at suggestion of Judge Howard who had been called to the scene, the body was taken to Backs' undertaking rooms. The man was recognized as Frank Pallas, for fifteen years off and on a resident of this locality. By his side was an all but empty bottle of ginger-pop. He had mounted the stone steps leading to the balcony, and had stepped up the short interior stairway. Here he sat down, and draining the contents of the pop bottle, in which he had placed a sufficient quantity of cyanide to poison a regiment of men, fell over backward dead. He had threatened to do this thing for years. Coroner Smith was notified and held an inquest in the afternoon. Dr. Wickett performed an autopsy and subjected the contents of the stomach to chemical examination. the plaintiff asserted that they were not made under an agreement with Hole because of the failure of crops raised on the land. The contract bore the date of June 12, 1905. Immediately following the recording of the court order directing Hole to make the deed to Takekawa, a deed was recorded of the property from Takekawa to one of his attorneys, J. S. Noyes, of Los Angeles. The consideration named in the deed is "legal services." RESISTANT PILE TIMBER Forestry Service Making Systematic Search In West “What wood is most resistant to the attacks of marine borers?” This is a question uppermost in the minds of all owners of harbor property. Timber experts in some parts of the country give more attention to the solution of the question than others in many cases, and just now it seems that the keenest search for the most resistant pile timber is going on in the extreme West. The claim is made that eucalyptus piling is more resistant to the attack of marine borers than any other pile timber found on the Pacific Coast, also that certain eucalypts are more resistant than others. It is also claimed that Lawson cypress is particularly resistant to attack. Furthermore, some prominent engineers assert that many creosote treatments now practiced are not effective against borers and that various pile casings are of doubtful value. It is true that a great many piles, both treated and untreated and consisting of different species, have been driven, but in most cases records of durability have not been kept and in no cases have the different species and methods been directly compared under exactly the same conditions, thus making the results of little value.

He had threatened to do this thing for years. Coroner Smith was notified and held an inquest in the afternoon. Dr. Wickett performed an autopsy and subjected the contents of the stomach to chemical examination. The jury was composed of W. D. Thompson, Fred Maurer, Major Upham, Ben Berdrow, Jimmy Gerry and Chapo Darling. Dr. Wickett testified as to the cause of death. Jos. Helmsen said he regarded Pallas as having been demented for three years. Pallas was in his store the evening before his body was found. He was more sullen and morose than usual. He had frequently talked of committing suicide. August McAuley told of finding the body in front of the library door. A verdict of death by poison was rendered. Pallas was some years ago a participant in a gun fight at Katella with a man named John Hart, who is now in San Quentin for life for murdering his wife in Los Angeles a year or so after his fight with Pallas. The two had had words, and Pallas walked over to the Hart place in the evening, with the intention, as many suppose, of killing him. Pallas was a powerfully built man, and of quarrelsome mood when in his cups. The two exchanged shots. Pallas came into town the next morning and gave himself up. He was tried, but was not convicted. He later married, but his wife did not live with him long. She obtained a divorce in Los Angeles. Pallas soldiered in the Philippines during the Filipino war. He was several years on the islands. Recently he returned to this city, but his mind seemed unbalanced. He drank heavily, and the autopsy showed his liver was abnormally large as a result of booze. As his body lay upon the operating table it elicited words of admiration for the strength in chest, arms and limbs. The body was interred on Sunday afternoon under auspices of the Masonic lodge, of which deceased had been a member. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stem of Nathropa With a view to furnishing this authoritative information the Forest Service has planned a series of experiments to be carried out at San Francisco and San Diego, California. It is the intention to secure several piles each of all of the species of timber occurring on the Pacific coast which might be used for pile purposes. This will include different species of eucalyptus, Douglas fir, western yellow pine, western red cedar, redwood, and Lawson cypress (Port Orford cedar.) In addition it is the intention to secure Douglas fir piles treated with various preservatives and protective coverings. In the experiments only 8-foot sections having an average diameter of 10 or 12 inches will be employed, inasmuch as the cost of handling and transporting larger piles would be prohibitive. One-half of each kind of timber will be installed at San Francisco and the other half at San Diego. The sections will be fastened to concrete calcs if available. If not, the sections will be fastened to creosoted piles. In such a case they will be so fastened that a space of a few inches will occur between the creosoted pile and the experimental timber. This will guard against any influence which the proximity of the creosoted pile might have on durability. They will be so placed that the upper end will stand about a foot or two above low water mark. The ends will be properly protected with asphaltum, copper, or some other suitable substance to guard against the longitudinal attack of borers Each section will be properly marked with a copper tag for identification. In addition a detailed map will be drawn showing the location of the sections after they are placed in position. In no case will less than six sections of one species be included. The experimental material will be inspected at frequent intervals and reports will be prepared covering the details of the experiments. Some difficulty is being experienced are not effective against borers and that various pile casings are of doubtful value. It is true that a great many piles, both treated and untreated and consisting of different species, have been driven, but in most cases records of durability have not been kept and in no cases have the different species and methods been directly compared under exactly the same conditions, thus making the results of little value.

Judge West's decision put Hole in bad in a case which has been hanging fire in court for several years. He was ordered by Judge West to accept $8186.95 from the plaintiff, and upon its presentation and acceptance to make a deed to the sixty acres in question, which lie in the La Habra valley. Takekawa set up a contract under which Hole agreed to sell him sixty acres of land, being the northwest quarter of the southeast quarter, and the west half of the northwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section 3, township 3 south, range 10 west. In the contract the words, "township, south, range and west" were left out. The contract called for payment at certain times.

A STATEMENT FROM CARNES REFUSED TO CERTIFY J. W. MORRISON FOR HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONER Makes Forcible Reply to Statement Attributed to E. B. Collier—Charges that Members of State Board Raised Ratings After the Same Had Been Passed Upon E. K. Carnes, secretary of the state board of horticultural examiners, has written the following letter to the Santa Ana Register, in answer to an article appearing in the Santa Ana Blade, said to have been published on authority of E. B. Collier, and reflecting upon Carnes' action in the horticultural commissioner imbroglio: Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 4, '09. Register Publishing Co., Santa Ana, California. Dear Sirs:—I am in receipt of your letter under date of Nov. 3d, together with clipping from Blade, and your request for a statement of the facts in the case. While it has been against my principles to answer anything that appears publicly throughout the state in regard to my actions, having always taken the ground that a majority of the growers of the state know me personally and any denials or statements are useless, as my official actions are always open to investigation, and I think I have the confidence and respect of this great body of men to such an extent that public controversies are unnecessary, yet, in this case, the report as it appears is so erroneous that I believe a few words will place the matter in the right light. First, the examinations were conducted by number and not by name. Four counties were held and finished wherein they had raised the percentage of two additional candidates from Orange county over my markings and the official concurrence of the chairman of the board, and expressed the opinion that they had passed. While, in fact, by their second marking one of the candidates did not even then have the required per cent to pass, and the other was just over the line. This letter was dated in Los Angeles, Oct. 24th, two days after the matter was settled by official action of two members of the board. I immediately wired both members that the matter was settled several days ago and that the papers were out and I had official concurrence to my action,and as secretary refused to issue the additional certificates, and that I would not be a party to it. I also wrote the chairman fully on the subject and expressed my views of the matter very plainly. I refused to issue the certificates then, and do now, and always will, for it has been my aim to conduct these examinations in a fair and impartial manner, and to assure every candidate presenting himself for examination an even chance with his neighbor, and any one, no matter who he is, if he makes the required 80 per cent, is entitled to a certificate, and if he doesn't make 80 per cent he doesn't get a certificate. The intent of the law governing our examinations is to determine the qualifications of the candidates, and those passing the examinations are to be appointed, or at least one of their number, to the office of County Horticultural Commissioner. Mr. Collier is quoted in the article sent as saying: "Whereas he did see and examine Camfield's and Morrison's paper he did not see Bishop's paper." As all the papers were sent down and all returned, he could not have seen either of the papers mentioned without seeing the other. First, the examinations were conducted by number and not by name. Four counties were held and finished and all the papers taken to Los Angeles on a Saturday night, after finishing Orange county. All members of the board worked all day Sunday, correcting same, and until late Sunday met and resumed the work of day night; again on Monday morning recting papers, stopping only long enough to see the president pass, and late that afternoon Mr. Collier made the following motion, seconded by Mr. Garey: "The secretary is instructed to take the balance of uncorrected papers to Sacramento and correct same and return, when finished, to Chairman A. T. Garey, for further examination by second member of State Board of Horticultural Examiners." Motion carried. In accordance with this motion, on Monday night I gathered up the remaining papers that were uncorrected, as well as those corrected, and took same to Sacramento and very carefully corrected same, by number only, returning when finished, with the names corresponding to the numbers sealed and still intact to Los Angeles, to the chairman, for his official concurrence in the markings (as per our by-laws) where at least two members of the board are obliged to correct the papers. On Oct. 22d Mr. Garey, as chairman, telegraphed me as follows: "I concur in your markings.get letters ready,"—meaning letters of notification to the boards of supervisors. I did so, as secretary, and forwarded them to the chairman to countersign. The matter was officially settled. Only one number from Orange county passed the examination—which later on proved to be R. K. Bishop, when the numbers and names were opened and compared in Los Angeles. Since that time I have received, by letter, from the chairman, his second concurrence to the original markings, which appears to me to be sufficient. Certificates to the successful applicants of all counties were filled out and forwarded to the chairman to Mr. Collier is quoted in the article sent as saying: "Whereas he did see and examine Camfield's and Morrison's paper he did not see Bishop's paper." As all the papers were sent down and all returned, he could not have seen either of the papers mentioned without seeing the other. The report as it appears in the clipping enclosed is so mixed up that if Mr. Collier made any statement at all, I don't think he would recognize this report as coming from him as it is so far removed from the real facts in the case that it should not be considered at all, and I am sure that Mr. Collier or Mr. Garey would not be in favor of allowing it to stand as it appears. The law creating the Board of Horticultural Examiners is a grower's bill, and, as far as I am concerned, the examination papers are open to inspection by any committee, if the growers are not satisfied that the same has been conducted in accordance with the law. Also my books as secretary, or any action of the board, is open to investigation. Yours very truly, Edward K. Carnes Secretary State Board of Horticultural Examiners. The statement in the Santa Ana Blade referred to is as follows: When the board of supervisors opened its regular meeting this morning there appeared a number of Orange county fruit growers who asked what was the status of the county horticultural commissioner appointment, and were informed by Chairman MacMullan that the matter was in such shape that no decision could be at once arrived at and action would be deferred until the 16th, in order that a legal opinion might be procured to enable the supervisors to clear away an apparent tangle in the proceedings. This tangle it was explained was due to the fact that one of the members of the state board of horticultural examiners had appeared before Chairman MacMullan and told him that he, and the members of the examining board protested against the action of the horticultural commission in only certifying Roy K. Bishop to the supervisors when as a matter of fact he and the chairman of the board of examiners had signed the papers of J. Carnes sent back Bishop's papers to Garey, who signed them, believing Carnes had signed those of Morris and Camfield. Collier is also quoting as saying that whereas he did not see examine Camfield's and Morris's papers, he never saw nor had in his possession those of Bishop.

Only one number from Orange county passed the examination—which later on proved to be R. K. Bishop, when the numbers and names were opened and compared in Los Angeles. Since that time I have received, by letter, from the chairman, his second concurrence to the original markings, which appears to me to be sufficient. Certificates to the successful applicants of all counties were filled out and forwarded to the chairman to countersign and deliver, Orange county along with the others. This the chairman has done, as per his letter to me. Mr. Collier has certainly been misquoted in the clipping which you enclose, as the minutes of our board will show, and as we all worked until Monday night in Los Angeles and made returns of the findings of Los Angeles county and sent in the list of those passing the examination to the board of supervisors while still in Los Angeles, this would hardly look like the "Secretary took the papers and left hastily for Sacramento from Santa Ana immediately after the examination." In regard to leaving any papers, this statement is wrong, for I took them all in a special case and sealed them with wire seal before leaving. Two out of four papers of Orange county were corrected in Los Angeles during this meeting of the entire board (three.) One of these is a paper mentioned in the clipping, and it was agreed by the board, all members being present, that it did not pass. The above is the official action of the board as the minutes will show. Where the trouble seems to be is easily seen from the following: On Oct. 26th, I received a letter signed by the chairman and treasurer, the proceedings. This tangle it was explained was due to the fact that one of the members of the state board of horticultural examiners had appeared before Chairman MacMullan and told him that he, and the members of the examining board protested against the action of the horticultural commission in only certifying Roy K. Bishop to the supervisors when as a matter of fact he and the chairman of the board of examiners had signed the papers of J. W. Morrison and E. M. Camfield as having passed the examination. This member of the examining board is E. B. Collier, who told Chairman MacMullan, according to Chairman MacMullan's statement to a Blade representative, that both he and Chairman Garey of the board of horticultural examiners signed the papers of Morrison and Camfield. Collier's version is that when the examinations for horticultural commissioner had been concluded here, Secretary Carnes took Bishop's papers with him and left hastily for his home in Sacramento, leaving the papers of Crawford, Camfield and Morrison with Collier and Garey to be examined and passed upon. Morrison's and Camfield's papers were approved and signed by Collier and Garey and forwarded to Sacramento to Carnes, and carrying as they did, the signature of a majority of the examining board, Collier says he thought they would of course be approved by Carnes. Now comes the official report from Secretary Carnes at Sacramento, certifying that Roy K. Bishop has passed a successful examination, with no word of either Morrison or Camfield. Garey's name appears, with that of Carnes on Bishop's papers, and this is explained by Collier by saying that A cold, a strain, a sudden wrench. A little cause may hurt the kidney.
