DEATH SUDDENLY CALLS FATHER AND SON LAPSE INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS, NEVER RECOVER, AUTOPSY REVEALS TRACE OF MENINGITIS. Strange Story that Long Beach Druggist was Victim of Poison Plot, and that Threats had been Made against His Life. Summoned suddenly by death while in this city on his way to Elsinore, where he expected to make purchases of real estate, and looking forward with anticipations of pleasure to an outing in Yosemite which was to have begun this week, Andrew J. Hunter, 37, a Long Beach druggist, died at the home of E. H. Adams on South Claudina street at 6 o'clock on Sunday morning. Seven hours previously, at 11 o'clock on Saturday night, his son, Stanley K. Hunter, aged 8, lying unconscious in an adjoining room, passed after from Long Beach. Drs. Truxaw and Johnston were in attendance, and a telephone message was sent to Dr. McDaniels at Los Angeles. He arrived shortly after, accompanied by his son. He took supper at the house, and later administered a hypodermic to the lad, who moaned continuously during his unconsciousness. Dr. McDaniels returned to his home in Los Angeles, and Drs. Johnston and Truxaw were called later in the evening. They did everything that medical science could devise to save the little patient, but he passed away at 11 o'clock. The impressions of the physicians were that Hunter was suffering from uremic poison, and that the lad had died from the same malady, superinduced by an attack of ptomaine because of eating the tuna sandwiches. Owing to the doubtful character of the case, the doctors took samples of the fluid from Hunter's spinal column. These were analyzed by Drs. Johnston, Truxaw and Jackson at the sanitarium during the night. They found no evidence of spinal meningitis, and were of opinion that death was due in each case to uremic poison. They were satisfied the little boy had not died from spinal meningitis, for his body was entirely limber during his illness, and there was no twitching as occurs in cases of meningitis. Neither was there spasms nor convulsions in the body of the little sufferer which would RECRUIT IN FOR SERIES IN ARM CAPT.

LaMonte including the captain, France during the late where he expected to make purchases of real estate, and looking forward with anticipations of pleasure to an outing in Yosemite which was to have begun this week, Andrew J. Hunter, 37, a Long Beach druggist, died at the home of E. H. Adams on South Claudina street at 6 o'clock on Sunday morning. Seven hours previously, at 11 o'clock on Saturday night, his son, Stanley K. Hunter, aged 8, lying unconscious in an adjoining room, passed away after having been ill only since that morning. Drs. Johnston and Truxaw and Dr. McDaniels of Los Angeles were in constant attendance upon the two cases, the latter having been summoned by telephone. He arrived early in the evening, and as the little lad continually moaned, administered a hypodermic to alleviate his sufferings. Drs. Johnston and Truxaw were at the bedside of the little sufferer until 11 o'clock, when he passed away. Everything that medical science could devise was done to save the lad, and when his mother was informed that nothing further could be done to save the child, she was stricken with grief and exclaimed: "Are you going to let my baby die?" At the time of the lad's death there were present his mother, his grandmother, Mrs. H. P. Paschal, sister-in-law of Dr. Paschal of this city, her son, John Paschal and his wife, Henry Paschal and Mr. and Mrs. Adams. The latter's children remained with other relatives during the night. The body was removed to Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors. The face of the little sufferer was covered with yellow spots, and the cause of his death was not given in the death certificate. Drs. Johnston and Truxaw were summoned again at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning when Mr. Hunter seemed to be sinking. He had been unconscious since the preceding day. The physicians were again at the home later in the night, doing all in their power to save him, but at 6 o'clock he passed away. His body was spotted, and was immediately transferred to Backs & Terry's undertaking establishment. Mr. Hunter arrived in this city early on Tuesday morning of last week, driving in his new automobile, and accompanied by his wife and little son. He went to a drug store to procure some medicine, and his wife and child were sent to a restaurant for breakfast. He procured his medicine and joined his wife and son in the restaurant. He these were analyzed by Drs. Johnston, Truxaw and Jackson at the sanitarium during the night. They found no evidence of spinal meningitis, and were of opinion that death was due in each case to uremic poison. They were satisfied the little boy had not died from spinal meningitis, for his body was entirely limber during his illness, and there was no twitching as occurs in cases of meningitis. Neither was there spasms nor convulsions in the body of the little sufferer, which would have been the case had he been suffering with this disease. Dr. McDaniels was quoted on Sunday, on his return to Los Angeles, as saying that he thought both deaths were due to spinal meningitis. Early on Sunday morning Dr. Truxaw notified Dr. Gavin J. Telfer of Los Angeles, state district health officer, of the cases. Dr. Telfer came down on Sunday afternoon, and ordered an autopsy. Coroner Brown was also notified. Mr. and Mrs. Adams left their house on Sunday before noon, and joined their family at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Paschal on South street. As Dr. Truxaw was fumigating the house on Sunday afternoon Dr. Telfer arrived. He said there was no occasion for alarm about the cases, and seemed to be keenly interested in the information that the little boy had eaten tuna sandwiches on Friday evening. He said he would order an autopsy in order to make certain of the character of the disease. He said there was no occasion for rumors that the deaths were occasioned by contagious fevers. Hunter was a druggist at Long Beach, and was in prosperous financial condition. He was on his way to Elsinore Springs when stricken with illness. He was of the opinion that Elsinore could be made a great health resort, and had in contemplation extensive purchases at that point. He was also preparing for an outing at Yosemite with his wife and son, and was to leave for the north in his automobile this week. As he lay in his bed at the Central hotel he continually caressed his son, who was a bright little boy in the fourth grade of the Long Beach school, having graduated from the lower grade some days before. It was thought that the lad was a sufferer from uremic poisoning, and that his death was hastened by ptomaine because of eating the fish sandwiches.

Mr. Hunter arrived in this city early on Tuesday morning of last week, driving in his new automobile, and accompanied by his wife and little son. He went to a drug store to procure some medicine, and his wife and child were sent to a restaurant for breakfast. He procured his medicine and joined his wife and son in the restaurant. He was seized with nausea, and said that it would be necessary for him to get a room and lay down to sleep off the effects of his illness. He attempted to find a room at several places, but was unable to do so. He later obtained a room at the Central hotel and went to bed. Dr. Truxaw was called and administered to the needs of the patient. Hunter remained in bed until Friday afternoon, when he sank into unconsciousness. His little boy ate two tuna sandwiches on Friday evening, and when he arose on Saturday morning was taken with nausea. He went on several errands for his mother, but as he ascended the stairs on his last return from an errand, said he was very ill. He was put to bed and Dr. Truxaw immediately summoned. Dr. Truxaw called Dr. Johnston in consultation. It was found that the lad was very seriously ill. At 10 o'clock the little lad lapsed into unconsciousness from which he never revived. It was proposed to remove both patients to the hospital, but every room at the hospital was filled, and at 7 o'clock Saturday evening they were removed in Backs & Terry's Red Cross ambulance to the home of Mr. Adams, who had kindly opened his home to them. Mrs. Paschal, her two sons and Mrs. John Paschal arrived shortly af Yosemite with his wife and son, and was to leave for the north in his automobile this week. As he lay in his bed at the Central hotel he continually caressed his son, who was a bright little boy in the fourth grade of the Long Beach school, having graduated from the lower grade some days before. It was thought that the lad was a sufferer from uremic poisoning, and that his death was hastened by ptomaine because of eating the fish sandwiches. In the presence of Dr. Telfer, state medical officer, Dr. Domann, county health officer, Dr. Zaizer, superintendent of the county hospital, and Dr. Clark, city health officer of Santa Ana, Dr. Truxaw performed an autopsy upon each body on Monday afternoon. Portions of every internal organ were removed, and were dispatched to the headquarters of the state board of health at Sacramento and also to Dr. Telfer's laboratory at Los Angeles for analysis. The bodies were removed to Long Beach and buried at 2 o'clock Tuesday. Dr. Truxaw stated on Monday evening that the autopsy showed evidence of spinal meningitis, but that no authoritative announcement as to the cause of death will be made until definite information comes from the state laboratory at Sacramento and from Dr. Telfer's office in Los Angeles. It is understood that a rigid quarantine will be maintained of places here and at Long Beach occupied by the Hunter family. A strange angle to the case was given on Monday, when it was announced that Hunter might possibly have been a victim of a poison plot. It was said that Chief of Police C. C. Cole of Long Beach had in his possession a letter (Continued on page 4) Capt. La Mont is at La Mont of this city Orange county on a tion, and chose Anat quarters.

LOUIS LA MONT OF COAST ARTILLERY MAINTAINING AN OFFICE IN ANAHEIM THIS WEEK Wants Men to Fill Up the Ranks at Fort McArthur.—In Communication with the Fort by Means of Carrier Pigeons. Fort McArthur at San Pedro, Uncle Sam's big fortress that guards the Southern coast, is in need of 750 men to fill up its ranks. Efforts are being made now to recruit for this service, and Captain Louis O. LaMont, in command of a squad of eight men and two chauffeurs, arrived in Anaheim Monday with the expectation of adding a long list of Orange county boys to the fort's muster roll. The men accompanying Capt. LaMont, all of whom, including the captain, saw service in France during the late unpleasantness, Uniform Traffic Laws In State Marshal Wood Attends Meeting in Los Angeles Where First Hand Information Is Had Relative to New Motor Vehicle Laws. Marshal A. W. Wood of this city attended a meeting in Los Angeles a few days ago which was called for the purpose of giving first hand information to traffic officers throughout the state regarding the new motor vehicle laws. The meeting was largely attended and much interest was manifested. It is aimed to have all rules and regulations as near alike as possible in all cities and towns. There is much to be done before the laws can be made uniform, but with the information received from well informed persons at the meetings the officers in the various cities feel better qualified to work harmoniously for the prevention of accidents and consequent loss of life. The placing of warning and guide signs will go a long way to check the speedbug and the proper manipulation of motor vehicles in crowded and congested quarters will be given especial attention. The adoption of uniform laws will go a long ways toward eliminating the troubles that beset motorists through- PHONE STRIKERS STILL REFUSE TO GIVE IN BOTH OPERATORS AND COMPANY OFFICIALS SEE VICTORY IN THE NEAR FUTURE Company Short of Hands but Managing to Handle the Business.—Mutual Company's Application for Charter Turned Down. The telephone situation remains practically unchanged since a week ago. Forty-five girls throughout the county are out on strike, and expect to remain out until the company accedes to their demands for higher pay. Most of these belong to the northern county exchanges. A meeting was held at strike headquarters, Santa Ana, Saturday, at which no disposition was manifested by any of the girls to surrender and return to work. The strikers, of course, are receiving much sympathy outside the union as it is generally conceded that their pay was in- Orang At Two Promising rallies at Week.—Gone next day, the Follow Sam's big fortress that guards the Southern coast, is in need of 750 men to fill up its ranks. Efforts are being made now to recruit for this service, and Captain Louis O. LaMont, in command of a squad of eight men and two chauffeurs, arrived in Anaheim Monday with the expectation of adding a long list of Orange county boys to the fort's muster roll. The men accompanying Capt. LaMont, all of whom, including the captain, saw service in France during the late unpleasantness, are: Sergt. Jack Brannan, Corp. Geo. J. Lohnes, Corp. Donald Scott, Bugler George C. Nolan, Bugler Michael Cannon, Pvt. John G. Sanson, Pvt. Harold Brown and Cook David G. Pinter. Headquarters has been established on West Center street just west of Pecks' store, and a station has also been fitted up in the alcove of the building formerly occupied by the Club bowling alley, adjoining the Woolworth store. At this latter station a fire control system is on display which demonstrates how the target is located with mathematical exactness and the gunner is able to drop a shot on an object many miles away. A 10-inch projectile weighing 750 pounds is also shown on its carriage. This is a perfectly innocent shell as its charge of T. N. T. has been removed and the cavity filled with sand. It is the kind of projectile used in target practice. A carrier pigeon service was established between the headquarters here and Fort McArthur Tuesday, and will be maintained throughout the week. It takes the swift-winged bird only a few minutes to cover the 24 miles between this city and the fort. Men between the ages of 18 and 35 are taken into the coast artillery, and the pay ranges from $30 to $91 per month. Enlistments are for three years, but men who have already served in the army or navy, will be accepted for one year. In addition to the pay everything is absolutely free to the soldier—good and wholesome food, clean and comfortable sleeping quarters, clothing, medical attention, dental work, the cheapest life insurance in the world, and training for a trade. Telegraphy, radio work and higher mathematics will be taught. Recruits will be sent to Fortress Monroe, Va., for special training. Capt. La Mont is a brother of V. W. La Mont of this city. He was sent to Orange county on a recruiting expedition, and chose Anaheim as his headquarters. He will remain here until sons at the meetings the officers in the various cities feel better qualified to work harmoniously for the prevention of accidents and consequent loss of life. The placing of warning and guide signs will go a long way to check the speedbug and the proper manipulation of motor vehicles in crowded and congested quarters will be given especial attention. The adoption of uniform laws will go a long way toward eliminating the troubles that beset motorists throughout the state, and with co-operation upon the part of autoists much headway can be gained. All governing bodies in cities are asked to assist with helpful legislation, and the Southern California Auto Club stands ready to do all in their power to help the good cause. SAILING THE OCEAN IN SEARCH OF TREASURE Robert Louis Stevenson's Ship Again Seeking Gold. As though haunted by the ghost of the man who once lived within its oak sides, a thrall of romance and adventure still clings to the Casco, the vessel in which Robert Louis Stevenson sailed the South Seas. The other day the old schooner sailed through the Golden Gate in search of a veritable "Treasure Island." No pirates meager hoard awaits the thirty adventurers who man the Casco. They have heard more wonderful tales of an island literally carpeted with nuggets of gold, and in search of it they have embarked for Arctic waters. And there's little chance of mutiny aboard the Casco. It bears no John Silver back to the fortune of his mates and every member of the crew owns an interest in the project. They are men whose combined fortunes aggregate millions, though it's true some of them sold all they possessed in order to enter the expedition. Adventurers and miners, all of them men who have fought with pick and shovel and sluice box from Panama to Nome for the money that now is theirs, they have heard of fabulous wealth strewing the sands of a land in the Far North. Stories of gold that fairly seeped through the earth, more glowing than those which lured Spanish adventurers to America, were brought back to civilization by a seal poacher who escaped death with his company. At these meetings the officers in the various cities feel better qualified to work harmoniously for the prevention of accidents and consequent loss of life.

The company reports that it has met with good success in filling the places of the strikers, and that service is normal in most of the exchanges. Manager Beard has sufficient force in Anaheim and Fullerton to take care of all business, although some delay in making connections still occurs. The company declares it has no intention of giving in to the strikers, and a sufficient force will soon be engaged. E. S. Morrow, the county manager, states that the company will not try to collect full rates for service during the strike. "It is not the desire of the telephone company in any case to demand payment for service which has not been rendered, but we will of course, have to protect ourselves against unwarranted claims. Our subscribers will find that it is the company's desire to treat them fairly and we will endeavor to settle all claims promptly and without discrimination," said he. He also stated that the same treatment will apply to each city in Southern California over which he has jurisdiction. Santa Ana's telephone service as yet has been little affected by the strike, according to Morrow, and only such local claims will be considered legitimate as those from subscribers whose lines have been out of order and could not be repaired during the strike. In the northern end of the county the telephone service has been more crippled, and a more extensive adjustment probably will be made in that territory. As was more or less expected, the application of the Orange County Mutual Telephon Association for a charter has been turned down. A letter advising of this fact and signed by R. V.

A meeting was held at strike headquarters, Santa Ana, Saturday, at which no disposiaion was manifested by any of the girls to surrender and return to work. The strikers, of course, are receiving much sympathy outside the union as it is generally conceded that their pay was inadequate to the work performed, and besides the recent actions of General Manager Burleson in raising rates and eliminating free tolls has made the company might unpopular.

He was starving when natives found him, but he forgot his hunger as his rescuers led him inland over a pavement of gold, according to his tale. And, without equipment, he gathered thousands of dollars' worth of the precious metal, which he said he brought with him back to America. Men who made their stake and settled down to lives of ease in California heard his story, and the fever once more gripped them. They organized the Northern Mining & Trading Company, restricted to experienced gold miners, and when their number reached thirty closed the books, though hundreds more sought place among them. They bought the Casco, and at the battered old desk on which Stevenson wrote, their arrangements for the trip were made.

The directors of the mutual association will meet at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, Santa Ana, tonight. The letter to Eden reads as follows: "We enclose articles of incorporation of the Orange County Mutual Telephone Association, and advise that Title 20, Part 4, Division 1, Political Code, provides that a telephone company cannot be incorporated thereunder without complying with the special code provisions applicable thereto. "The provisions referred to are sections 291, 293, 294 and 295, political code, relative to telegraph corporations. Telephone companies are not especially referred to therein, but it is held by the Attorney General that said sections apply to such corporations and the practice is to comply therewith in incorporating telephone companies." "Necessarily, in order that such compliance may be possible, the articles of incorporation must provide for a capital stock, and this being true, it follows that recourse cannot be had to article 20 in preparing articles of incorporation, as co-operative association."

Grim-Heying At nine o'clock last Wednesday morning, at St. Boniface's church, Miss Mary Grim and Oscar Heying were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, Rev. Father Kirk of Alhambra officiating. A large number of friends of the prominent young couple witnessed the ceremony. The bridesmaids were Miss Leslie Gaynor of Los Angeles and Miss Ruth Grim, sister of the bride, while the groom was attended by his two brothers, Edward and Ernest Heying. When the bridal party entered the church the wedding march from Lohengrin was played on the violin by Miss Constance Rimpau of Hollywood and Miss Antonia Friend of this city, with Miss Marie Rimpau accompanying them on the piano. The bride, who was escorted by her father, was met at the altar by the groom. After the ceremony which was performed by Rev. Kirk, nuptial mass was celebrated by Rev.

Father Browne, pastor of the church. A wedding breakfast at the home of the bride was partaken of by the immediate friends of the young couple. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Grim. She has always been popular among her associates, and has lately been a teacher in the Los Angeles city schools. The groom is a member of the firm of Heying Brothers, pharmacists, being one of Anaheim's prominent young business men. He served in the hospital branch of the United States army in France, recently reaching home after his discharge from the service. The young couple have the best wishes of a host of warm friends. Mr. and Mrs. Heying left for Catalina. They will return to Anaheim after an outing at the island of perhaps a week's duration, then start immediately for San Francisco in an auto. Kraemer-Muckenthaler The beautiful pink and white decorations in the church arranged for the Grim-Heying wedding remained the same for the Kraemer-Muckenthaler nuptials on the following day (Thursday) when Miss Adella Kraemer became the bride of Walter Muckenthaler. The wedding was a beautiful and impressive affair, being attended by a large number of friends of the two parties, and was a repetition of the former affair with the substitution of new participants. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kraemer of Placentia, the groom being the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Muckenthaler of this city. The ceremony took place at nine o'clock and promptly at that hour the bride leaning on the arm of her father entered the church while Miss Tony Friend on the violin and Miss Marie Rimpau accompanying on the piano played the Lohengrin wedding march. The groom joined the party at the altar, his best man being his brother, Lawrence Muckenthaler, while the night and gave attentive ear to matters of import pertaining to the safe guidance of the ship of state. All members were on deck and the craft was successfully piloted through the many shoals even though a fretful hombre ever and anon bobbed up serenely. Property Owners Get Together Emil Dreyfus, accompanied by his attorney, J. C. Meyerstein of San Francisco, and Leonard Evans of this city, appeared before the board regarding the formation of the proposed improvement district, which is to include the Dreyfus block on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Mr. Dreyfus informed the council that he does not intend to offer any opposition to the district, but stands ready to do all in his power to arrive at an early solution of the matter. Mr. Dreyfus stated that a number of business men in the block had signified their willingness to band themselves together with a view of settling the question amicably. He expects to receive damages from the cutting down of his frontage and stands ready to assume his share of the benefits allowed as a property holder. The amount to be raised was not stated, but Mr. Dreyfus said he would submit his proposition to the board in the near future. Should this proposition be acceptable, and should there be no opposition offered by any property owners in the district the plan would be accepted by the city and the improvement made. All the owners in the block, excepting two, have voluntarily moved back and have asked for no damages. In justice to these people the board feels in duty bound to complete the job. Mr. Dreyfus, however, while he sees the advantage gained by having the widened thoroughfare, inclines to believe he should be remunerated for the shortening of his building, having in view the best interests of his tenants. From latest accounts it looks as though there will be no hitch in the proceedings and that no court action will be necessary. Park Proposition Off Trustees Gibbs and Backs, who were appointed to interview Mr. Langenberger, regarding the park proposal reported that their efforts to have a deed placed in escrow, were of no avail, as legal obstacles precluded the city's acceptance of the generous offer.

The groom joined the party at the altar, his best man being his brother, Lawrence Muckenthaler, while the bride was supported by her sister, Miss Angeline Kraemer, who acted as bridesmaid. The impressive ceremony was read by Father Browne after which high mass was said. After being showered with congratulations and best wishes by the numerous friends present the wedding party motored to the home of the bride's parents at Placentia where a wedding breakfast was served, the young couple leaving shortly afterward for the North. They will spend their honeymoon at Yosemite park, and will later begin housekeeping here. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kraemer, pioneers of this section, and among the county's most prominent citizens. She is a native daughter of Orange county.

Park Proposition Off Trustees Gibbs and Backs, who were appointed to interview Mr. Langenberger, regarding the park proposal reported that their efforts to have a deed placed in escrow, were of no avail, as legal obstacles precluded the city's acceptance of the generous offer. Under present conditions of state legislation the city could not guarantee payment of the stipulated sum.
