WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. President Roosevelt announced today that he would approve the Oklahoma constitution. 'The president said he had examined the docu- ment with Attorney General Bonaparte and he felt that the question of his ap- proval ought not to be based on his peg* sonal opinion of the document, but whether it came within the terms of the enabling act. His personal opinion of the document, the president laughingly said, was not fit for publication. The,, promulgating of his approval will be made later. NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Attorney Gen- eral Bonaparte had a two hours' conferr ence with the president today, discussing the Oklahoma constitution, the Standard OH prosecution and other questions of Importance. He will have another con- ference with the president tomorrow. MRS. S. T.

OCEAN PARK, Sept. 29.— The local po- lice today were directed to a pitiful case of destitution that resulted In temporary relief being given to a father, mother and four children who were penniless and destitute in a camp near the gae house. Food and clothing were supplied the family by Mrs. W. M. Kendall of 59 Dudley avenue, which alleviated their sufferings for the tlmebelng. The fam- ily Is named Ho'.eteln and recently came to this section. The Associated Charl- -ties of Santa Monica were asked to take the case in hand. ASK TRUSTEES TO STOP BATHING SUIT PARADES PASADENA, Sept. 26.— Pasadena Is In the position of having part of its street lighting done free of charge to the mu- nicipality, but such a condition willnot maintain long if the board of trade can bring about the change that It desires. At the time the cluster lights were put up the city was asked -o pay $1200 to- ward their cost of Installation and main- tenance. Instead the city would only agree to pay the amount it would save In the removal of the arc lamps made unnecessary by the cluster system. Since the operation of the municipal plant, however, the council has failed 1 to honor the demand for the lighting bill, and the board of trade is very desirous of having the city take the whole matter off its hands, as the board Is responsible for the entire bill. While the city has the necessary power to supply the clus- ters it would necessitate rewiring the system and installing transformers, but first the board of trade must In some way cancel its contract with the Edison company. The Edison company refused to wire the cluster lamps and furnish energy pn- til a contract was signed for a definite period, and it may prove difficult to have it canceled. In he agreement of the city to pay a proportion of the bill a clause was Inserted that it would agree to do so until such time as tho mu- nicipal plant was in operation.

FOURTEEN GO DOWN WHEN ALABAMA FERRY CAPSIZES White Boy and Thirteen Negroes Are Victims of Treacherous Cur. rent by Shoals Near Mobile "We respectfully protest against al- lowing the Union Ico company a permit to store snch r- amount of hay In lta barns, unless the barns are built of absolute fireproof materials," said Alex Culver, speaking for himself and others. "The Union Ice company has asked for a permit to build a barn at 660 South Alameda street, adjoining our property on the south, for the purpose of storing seventy-five tons of »iay. "We call attention to the fact that Manager .Jullnnch of the Union lee com- pany, as well as ourselves, protested against allowing Mr. Oder to carry hay on a lot adjoining the barn of the Union Ice company, and your honorable body re- fused to grant Mr. Oder such a privilege, so that under the circumstances we fall to see how Mr. Bullfinch can expect to obtain such a permit." Cites Inconsistency Strong & Dickinson say: "We do not see how the board can grant such a per- mit, as it refused W. Oder of the Black Diamond Coal Supply company, located on our property, such a permit less than a year ago and at that time the Union Ice company was one of the protestanta against Mr. Oder. "Unless the Union Ice company would agree to build fireproof barns we must respectfully protest against granting: such permit." "The Union Ice company people wars protestants In the casje of Mr. Oder of the Black Diamond company, who wanted to. run a hay yard opposite their barns, and so we cannot see why you should give a permit to them unless they agree to build a fireproof barn to store their hay," said Frank M. Warrinton. Would Violate Precedent Owners of property in the block are Industrial Realty company. Commercial Warehouse company, Inc., Carl Leonardt, Union Ice company, Alexander Culver et al, Stelner Investment company, Frank M. Warrinton and Elon G. Fay. The company seeks to erect a two-story brick structure, but in the past when the Black Diamond Coal Supply com- pany sought to erect a hay shed there the Union Ice company strongly pro- tested, and It was turned down. The fire commissioners yesterday heard from this source and shelved ¦ the ap- plication for a week at least. Application by the Union Ice companr to store hay at 660 Alameda street has aroused protests from nearby property owners. I Paul Hervleu, the brilliant author of "The Awakening-" and "The Labyrinth, ' both of whloh Miss Olga Nethersole 'will present at the Mason opera house during her engagement there next week, was born near Paris September 2 1857. He was the fifth of six sons. After completing his studies he en- tered the French civil service, and in January, 1880, became an assistant sec- retary in the. ministry of foreign af- fairs. -^ Itwas originally Intended that young Hervleu should be trained for the diplo- matic service, and indeed his tempera- ment was peculiarly constituted to ren- der him capable of achieving great dis- tinction in the world of diplomacy. The natural advantages that were his Included a keen intelligence, a high and reflective mentality and great dis- tinction, but his metier evidently lay In other directions. While he was serving In the foreign ministry he occasionally contributed to the leading Paris magazines. In the course of a year or two he was named ftilrd secretary to the French ambassa- dor In Mexico. Almost at the Identical moment of his diplomatic promotion came an offer of the editorship of a small political Journal near Parlß. After weighing both propositions carefully Mr. Hervleu determined to accept the editorship. That was >the end of his diplomatic experiences. He returned to Paris later with a complete volume entitled "Diogenes, the Dog." His novels soon became the talk of the city, and In due courser as Is the custom with all French writers, his pen drifted towafcd the stage, where in a short ten years he has succeeded In making him- self the leading French dramatist of the modern school, a member of the French Academy, and one of the forty Immortals of France. Early in February next Olga Nether- sole will play an engagemenj at the Astor theater in New York city, where she will produce still another play, "The Enigma," by M. Paul Hervleu. She will also present a dramatic ver- sion of "I Pagliacci," made for her by Charles Brbokfleld, author of "The Belle of Mayfalr;" "The Rival," made especially fot Miss Nethersolo from the French by Louis N. Parker, and "En Plongee," a French novelty which Miss Nethersole saw at one of the vaudeville theaters in Paris during her engage- ment there the past summer. The great artiste's repertoire in Los An- geles will be as follows: Monday and Friday evenings and Saturday matinee, "The Awakening;" Tuesday and Satur- day evenings and Wednesday matinee, "Sapho;" ¦ Wednesday evening, "Tho Labyrinth;" Thursday evening, "Car- men."

Flckett and fifteen others was filed with the city council last night asking that men and boys clad in bathing suits be prohibited from passing through the business streets. No complaint was offered against the women or their swimming costumes. The trustees placed the petition on file with the remark that as there Is no place to change clothing pn the beach without going in through the turnstile of the Long Beach bath house, persons can hardly be blamed for walking from their homes to the surf clad ip the lim- ited raiment.

As testified by Berajas, he had shown Ilermandes 1250 in gold coins which he had taken from their place of conceal- ment In his bed. The next time he looked for his money It was gone, and at the same time he discovered the absence of Hermandez. The court ruled the evidence purely cir- cumstantial and dismissed the case.

A huge hall clock, which was brought to this coun- try from England in 1630 and which- was later the property of Josiah Bart- lett, one of the signers the declara- tion of Independence, will within a few years come Into the possession of John Chandler Bartlett, 4 years old, of this city. Josiah Bartlett asked that the clock be passed along to the oldest son In each succeeding generation. John Bartlett, who died in Providence, R. 1., a month ago, had only one son, Walter Ives Bartlett, who died three years ago today. Accordingly John Bartlett willed, the clock should go to his broth- ers and that after their death It should become the property of John Chandler Bartlett, the only child of his dead son. The lad lives here with his mother, Mrs. Elsie Candler Bartlett, daughter of W. H. Chandler of Long Beach. As the brothers to whom the clock Is be- queathed are well along in years It is expected the boy will come into pos- session of the valued heirloom in the near future. The clock is built In a redwood case and is finished in beaten brass. The works are operated by a system of weights. John Bartlett of Providence refused an offer of several thousand dollars for the clock, which was recognized by a millionaire manufacturer of that city as not only of great historical value but also great artistic value. , BTREET TUNNEL COLLAPBEB, BURYING WORKMAN ALIVE LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1907 TEBTIFY TO FRAUD IN BORAH TRIAL CLAIM TAKERS ON THE STAND MONEY WAB FURNISHED FOR EXPENBE3 Many towns all along the coast for miles have been cut off from telegraphic communication and the extent of the damage cannot he told.

FINDLAY, Ohio, Sept. 26.—L. B. Wil-liamson was arrested yesterday on anIndictment charging him with attempt-ing to bribe Charles T. Thompson, aJuror In the case of the state of Ohioagainst the Standard Oil company, whichWas tried here last June. Mrs. CharlesT. Thompson said that Williamson ap-proached her and asked her to persuadeher husband to disagree and hang thejury.

The pamphlet Is being distributed notonly to those to whom It Is addressed,but sent broadcast among oil consumers.

The Standard OH company has Issuedin the last month 4,000,000 copies of itspamphlet labeled "from the directors ofthe Standard Oil company to Its em-ployes and stockholders."

John D. Archbold, vice president ofthe Standard OH company Issued a gen-eral notice today to the effect that "falseand injurious statements were being scat-tered broadcast as from a representativeof the Standard Oil company," and warn-ing the public that no credit should begiven to any statement purporting toemanate from the Standard OH companyunless signed 'by an executive officialof the company or Itsdesignated attorney.

From balance sheets of the companyFrank B. Kellogg, conducting the govern-ment'E case, sought to show that theIndiana company was making extensiveprofits and that it maintained a highschedule of tariffs to prevent shipmentsof oil by Independent oil producors. Mr.Chesebro testified that the Indiana com-pany transported practically only the oilof the Standard OH company. The coun-sel Tor the government allege that Itwill

'be shown that the profits made by

these pipe line companies have in somecases been. twenty times the actual costof operations.

ASK TRUSTEES TO STOPBATHING SUIT PARADES

PASADENA, Sept. 26.—Pasadena Is Inthe position of having part of its streetlighting done free of charge to the mu-nicipality, but such a condition willnotmaintain long if the board of trade canbring about the change that It desires.

At the time the cluster lights were putup the city was asked -o pay $1200 to-ward their cost of Installation and main-tenance. Instead the city would onlyagree to pay the amount it would saveIn the removal of the arc lamps madeunnecessary by the cluster system.

Since the operation of the municipalplant, however, the council has failed1 tohonor the demand for the lighting bill,and the board of trade is very desirousof having the city take the whole matteroff its hands, as the board Is responsiblefor the entire bill. While the city hasthe necessary power to supply the clus-ters it would necessitate rewiring thesystem and installing transformers, butfirst the board of trade must In someway cancel its contract with the Edisoncompany.

The Edison company refused to wirethe cluster lamps and furnish energy pn-tila contract was signed for a definiteperiod, and it may prove difficult tohave it canceled. In he agreement ofthe city to pay a proportion of the billa clause was Inserted that it would agreeto do so until such time as tho mu-nicipal plant was in operation.

"We respectfully protest against al-lowing the Union Ico company a permitto store snch r- amount of hay In ltabarns, unless the barns are built ofabsolute fireproof materials," said AlexCulver, speaking for himself and others.

"The Union Ice company has asked fora permit to build a barn at 660 South

Alameda street, adjoining our propertyon the south, for the purpose of storingseventy-five tons of »iay.

"We call attention to the fact thatManager .Jullnnch of the Union lee com-pany, as well as ourselves, protestedagainst allowing Mr. Oder to carry hayon a lot adjoining the barn of the UnionIce company, and your honorable body re-fused to grant Mr. Oder such a privilege,so that under the circumstances we fallto see how Mr. Bullfinch can expect toobtain such a permit."

Cites Inconsistency

Strong & Dickinson say: "We do notsee how the board can grant such a per-mit, as it refused W. Oder of the BlackDiamond Coal Supply company, locatedon our property, such a permit less thana year ago and at that time the UnionIce company was one of the protestantaagainst Mr. Oder.

"Unless the Union Ice company wouldagree to build fireproof barns we mustrespectfully protest against granting: suchpermit."

"The Union Ice company people warsprotestants In the casje of Mr. Oder ofthe BlackDiamond company, who wantedto. run a hay yard opposite their barns,and so we cannot see why you shouldgive a permit to them unless they agreeto build a fireproof barn to store theirhay," said Frank M. Warrinton.

Would Violate Precedent

Owners of property in the block areIndustrial Realty company. CommercialWarehouse company, Inc., Carl Leonardt,Union Ice company, Alexander Culveret al, Stelner Investment company, FrankM. Warrinton and Elon G. Fay.

The company seeks to erect a two-storybrick structure, but in the past whenthe Black Diamond Coal Supply com-pany sought to erect a hay shed there

the Union Ice company strongly pro-tested, and It was turned down.

The fire commissioners yesterday heard

from this source and shelved ¦ the ap-

plication for a week at least.

Application by the Union Ice companrto store hay at 660 Alameda street has

aroused protests from nearby property

owners.

Paul Hervleu, the brilliant author of

"The Awakening-" and "The Labyrinth,'

both of whloh Miss Olga Nethersole

'willpresent at the Mason opera house

during her engagement there next

week, was born near Paris September

2 1857. He was the fifth of six sons.After completing his studies he en-tered the French civil service, and in

January, 1880, became an assistant sec-retary in the. ministry of foreign af-

fairs. -^Itwas originally Intended that young

Hervleu should be trained for the diplo-

matic service, and indeed his tempera-

ment was peculiarly constituted to ren-

der him capable of achieving great dis-

tinction in the world of diplomacy.The natural advantages that were his

Included a keen intelligence, a high

and reflective mentality and great dis-

tinction, but his metier evidently lay In

other directions.While he was serving In the foreign

ministry he occasionally contributedto the leading Paris magazines. In the

course of a year or two he was namedftilrd secretary to the French ambassa-

dor InMexico. Almost at the Identicalmoment of his diplomatic promotion

came an offer of the editorship of asmall political Journal near Parlß.

After weighing both propositionscarefully Mr. Hervleu determined toaccept the editorship. That was >the

end of his diplomatic experiences. He

returned to Paris later witha completevolume entitled "Diogenes, the Dog."

His novels soon became the talk of thecity, and In due courser as Is the customwith all French writers, his pen driftedtowafcd the stage, where ina short tenyears he has succeeded In making him-

self the leading French dramatist ofthe modern school, a member of theFrench Academy, and one of the fortyImmortals of France.

Early in February next Olga Nether-sole willplay an engagemenj at theAstor theater in New York city, whereshe will produce still another play,

"The Enigma," by M. Paul Hervleu.She willalso present a dramatic ver-sion of "IPagliacci," made for her by

Charles Brbokfleld, author of "TheBelle of Mayfalr;" "The Rival," madeespecially fot Miss Nethersolo from the

French by Louis N. Parker, and "EnPlongee," a French novelty which MissNethersole saw at one of the vaudevilletheaters in Paris during her engage-ment there the past summer. Thegreat artiste's repertoire in Los An-geles willbe as follows: Monday andFriday evenings and Saturday matinee,"The Awakening;" Tuesday and Satur-day evenings and Wednesday matinee,"Sapho;" ¦ Wednesday evening, "ThoLabyrinth;" Thursday evening, "Car-men."
