RECALL PLAN FAILS LOS ANGELES, May 16.—"Business as usual" is the slogan in Burbank. VERDICT OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH A verdict of accidental death was returned this morning by the coroner's jury which held an autopsy over the body of James Wardell of the Emory lease, who was fatally hurt when his wife was killed at Northam crossing on the Santa Fe railroad Sunday morning. Mr. Wardell lived until Monday evening, dying at the Fullerton hospital where he was brot following the accident. While no responsibility was charged any party, the jury recommended that a request be sent to the State Railroad Commission, that it compel the Santa Fe to provide proper protection at the Northam Station crossing. One of the juryman declared that five fatal accidents had occurred there. Those who testified at the inquest included Peter J. Miller, fireman of the train; H.R.Atkinson, engineer; E Johnson of the Murphy lease who was just behind Wardell, and Frank Keir of Los Angeles, who was stopped at the crossing, and cried after Warcell in an effort to prevent him from going onto the tracks. The fireman said he saw Wardell going onto the tracks very slowly and that at first he was going to stop; then saw he was not, so shouted to the engineer to stop the train. The engineer said he knew nothing of it until the fireman hollered at him, and that he immediately turned off the engine and applied the brakes and the sand, stopping at about 900 feet. All the witnesses testified that the train had whistled for the crossing. Frank Keir said that altho he could not see the train when he stopped, he saw the wigwag working and he heard the whistle. He said a freight train had been cut, leaving an opening for the crossing, but that this was on the opposite side and did not obstruct the view. He said that wardell drove on the tracks very slowly, and did not hear him when he called after him. At least he paid no attention, apparently watching Seventeen first entered the witness test for the silver ed by the Third Valencia Orang window dresser each other in my plays that will decorate beauty exhibit, which continues Day, May 30.

WRAPS DIS FROM C RECALL PLAN FAILS LOS ANGELES, May 16.—"Business as usual" is the slogan in Burbank today, following a meeting of trustees at which expected demands for the recall of certain city officers failed to materialize.

Minimum 58° at 6 a.m. Maximum 70 at 2 p.m. Frank Keir said that altho he could not see the train when he stopped, he saw the wigwag working and he heard the whistle. He said a freight train had been cut, leaving an opening for the crossing, but that this was on the opposite side and did not obstruct the view. He said that wardell drove on the tracks very slowly, and did not hear him when he called after him. At least he paid no attention, apparently watching the freight engine across the tracks and probably that it was for this the wigwag was going. Keir said he did not believe either occupant of the car ever saw the passenger train, their interest being attracted to the freight. At least, he said, they made no effort to avoid the collision, either by stopping or by speeding up. An inquest was also held in the McAulay funeral parlors this morning over the body of John Lenz, fatally injured yesterday while in the employ of the Union Oil Co. at Huntington Beach, one of his legs being crushed. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. McAulay has instructions from the Union Oil Co. to send the body to Okarchie, Okla.

If sufficientfound at 300 feet, the LENGTHY HEARING IN CAVERLY CASE At 2:30 this afternoon the hearing was still on before Justice G. B. Brown to determine whether Earl Cayerly, former manager of the West Center-st store of the H. G. Chaffee Co., should be held to answer in Superior Court to a charge of embezzlement. The state rested its case this afternoon at that hour and the defense witnesses began to testify. The father of the defendant was the first for the defense. The hearing was marked by sharp tilts between O. A. Jacobs, Deputy District Attorney who prosecuted the case, and Roger C. Dutton, counsel for the defense. Jacobs contended that the evidence in previous cases was admissable to prove intent and guilty knowledge on the part of the defendant. Dutton declared that unless such alleged previous defalcations could be shown to be closely intertwined, according to the evidence, with the present alleged embezzlement, all mention of them must be excluded. Dutton declared further that the defendant's having taken the checks and money, amounting to $701.20, to his home, constituted an infraction of the company's rules and not a misappropriation of funds or embezzlement. The alleged embezzlement took place on April 21, and the money and checks were found in a room adjoin-ning that in which he was sleeping when the officers entered the house.Dutton contended that the funds were taken to the house for safe keeping, instead of being hidden in the store as the company's rules required. J. W. Beasley, Orange-co manager of the Chaffee stores, was one of the principal witnesses. SEEK LEADERS OF GREAT RUM RING Concentrating his argument on the actual condition of General Julian O. Royer at the time he is said to have signed the final will. Attorney Mattison B. Jones, summing up for the contestors, today declared that the general's physical weakness had not been accompanied by mental weakness or clouded mind. Jones succeeded his associate in the defense, Attorney Thomas, and it was doubtful early this afternoon if the case would go to the jury before tomorrow. Jones brought up again the evidence that came out in the course of the case, to show the general's condition. He quoted extensively from the deposition of Dr. Bertrand R. Smith, physician in charge, to show that the general had suffered from neither apoplexy nor paralysis, but from cirrhosis of the liver, which had caused muscular atrophy with neuritis. The general's mind had remained clear. The muscular atrophy had compelled his finger to contract and hand to shake, and this was responsible for the illegible signature. Attorney Edwin Meserve, who yesterday summed up for the contestors, arguing from various gifts to persons who had been in the household only a short time, that General Royer was either not in his proper state of mind or had been unduly influenced, denied certain allegations of Attorney Jones, regarding what he had said. The jury, flushed and weary eyed, appeared for the most part thoroughly tired out and with interest dulled. ADOPT PLANS FOR RIO VISTA PAVING The plans and specifications for the garding and paving of Rio Vista-st from the Anaheim Olive road to North-st with asphalt concrete were adopted by the board of supervisors yesterday as prepared by County Engineer J.
