MATERNAL ANXIETYCOSTS RIVERSIDE WOMAN'S LIFE MRS. KINSEY RUSHES TO RELIEF OF HER SON Is Seized With Internal Hemorrhage and Expires Within Half an Hour. Automobile Crashes Into Rig but Inmates Escape Injury SAN DIEGO, July 25.— An upturned boat with a broken oar, found on the beach some distance below Coronado hotel, tells of the probable death by drowning of A. I>. Rlsley, who had charge of the typewriting department of Lorlng A Co.'* store. Risley hired the boat, which is r small one, at the San Diego boat house on Saturday af- ternoon, saying that he was going to row around the Bennlngton. Since then nothing has been heard from htm, but the finding of the boat on the ocean front Is somewhat of a mystery, as scarcely anyone would be foolhardy enough to go out on the ocean In such a boat, f However, It Is said that the missing man was an enthusiast and more than once confessed a desire to experience the novelty of rowing on ttie ocean. It is thought that, taking advantage of the outgoing tide Saturday after- noon, he passed on down the bay and ventured out upon the open sea. Some think he made an unsuccessful attempt to land In the surf, but 'lt Is possible that he was overturned some distance out and the boat blown ashore by the west wind. . The police are watching the shores of the ocean In the hope of finding the body should It wash ashore. Rlsley was between 30 and 35 years of age and had been a resident of San Diego for the past year and a half. His married life was a moßt happy one. Mrs. Rlsley is completely over- come with grief. Indians Will Celebrate County Clerk Frank Salmons has re- turned from an outing on Palomar mountain and Pala. He brings news that the Indians of the San Luis Rey valley are making big preparations to celebrate San Luis' day, the day of the patron saint of San Luis Rey mission. The affair is to be held August 24, 25, 26 and 27, though the official church day is optionally the 25th or the 26th. Last year the Indians were In no mood to celebrate San Luis' day, as they were still discontented, pining for their old home at Warner's. Their determination to hold the celebration this year Is an indication that they have become reconciled to . their lot. A grand program of horse racing, war dances, ghost dances, peon games and merrymaking generally haa ' been ar- ranged. .;';'. 1 \u25a0 . Having Just completed one bond elec- tion, the city of San Diego is now pre- paring for : a second, when the propo- sition of issuing $135,000 In bonds for the buildingof a new high school will be submitted. This election will take place on Thursday next. High school students are taking much Interest in the election and will become workers at the polls. Spoclal to The Hernia. ORANGE GROWERS GO BACK TO EXCHANGE NEW BANK OF S VENICE - OPENED FOR BUSINESS Passengers arriving on the west- bound Southern Pacific overland bring new accounts of the Salton sea, which they state is slowly rising. The train- men say they believe It will soon be impossible to make many more trips over the road and there is talk of put- ting on lighter engines. The water is already on the tracks, the ties for some distance being submerged. Dock Brown, a youth of Colton, was run down by an automobile owned by M. A. Hebberd of Colton this morning and painfully Injured. 'Brown was rid- ing a bicycle and hearing the automo- bile approaching became confused and turned directly in front of the big machine. \u25a0 E. C; Oliver, who has a mania for stealing monkey wrenches, was sen- tenced to six months on the rock pile today. He had been recently released from the county jail and at once com- menced to steal, leaving a trail of thefts from here to Colton. C. J. Phillips, a machinist employed at the Santa Fe shops, took a tumble from a dead engine in the yeards yes- terday,'striking.'the rail on his elbow, shattering the socket and making neces- sary the remov.il of several of the bones of the arm. He was taken to Los An- geles this morning and may have to suffer the amputation of the arm. Miss Caroline Decrow of Somervtlle, Mass., and Everett Patterson of Bos- ton were married at Highland yestei- day, the bride having Just arrived from the east. The groom worked for the Ginn Publishing company of Boston as stationary engineer, was given a posi- tion on the Glnn ranch at Highland. Cal., which he accepted, and was soon followed by the bride-to-be. The board of supervisors have re- jected a proposition by an Insurance company to Insure the safety of county funds.. The county rents vault space In a local bank and the supervisors be- lieve that the safety of the coin Is such as to make Insurance unnecessary. The bonus which the citizens are now raising will be used as a tempting bait for Hartley or any other energetic pro- moter, the sense of the meeting being that the offer will be good to others besides Hartley, and that not only will the citizens gladly give the money but will also donate free any rights of way the railroad builders may desire. Rlalto lies three miles west of San Bernardino, and it is argued that the line When once completed will attract homebullders and the community soon become a suburban residence section, doubling in population within a year and making an electric line a paying proposition. Special to The Herald. SAN BERNARDINO, July 25.—Tho citizens of Rlalto held a mass meeting last night and formally accepted the proposition of Seth Hartley of Colton to construct within five months an electric line from this city to Rlalto, assuring him that the $5000 cash bonus would be Immediately placed In tho bank subject to his order when the line Is completed and within the five months specified. After the fire the police had their Suspicions directed at Leroy E. An- drews, a roomer In the building, who disappeared after the flre. Last Sat- urday Policeman Phillips arrested An- drewa on a charge of stealing a bathing suit. .Andrews seemed much frightened when arrested and offered to clear out of the state If given a short sentence. This was refused and Andrews was sent to the county Jail. This weeHi Marshal Conklln and Phillips have pntd the man several visits and urged him to tell what he knew of the Casa Palma flre. Today the man broke down and declared that he flred the building at the Instigation of Mm. Getz. He said she had her furniture In- sured for (800 and offered him $100 if he would .flre the place. Mrs. Getz, he says, filled his room with papers and saturated them with oil. Andrews says Mrs. Getz sent most of her be- longings to Los Angeles and the flre would have taken place on Monday night but for the fact that Mrs. Geta" husband and niece came down unex- pectedly to visit her and she did not want the flre when they were In the house. Her father Is Captain Felz of the Los Angeles chain gang. When the husband returned to Loa Angeles Mrs. Getz went with him, An- drews says, to divert suspicion from her and Andrews was to flre the building during her absence. Thurs- day night was the time set. A man named Towers had the room above Andrews' and to save Towers Andrews called him downstairs about the time he touched off the papers, and these two were the first to discover the flre. Andrews signed the following state- ment: "This Is to certify that I, Leroy An- drews, on the Instance of Mrs. Getz of Long Beach, Cal., set flre to the rooming house known as Casa Palma on the night of July 13, 1905, and that the said Mrs. Getz applied the oil and had everything fixed for the starting of the fire. I . ' ; \u0084 "LEROY E. ANDREWS." , , Andrews told Marshal Conklln that he was an all-round crook and that his true name Is Roy Sagendorf. In 1901, he said, he and a gang of;firebugs set flre to the Mahaiee block at Great Barrlngton, Mass. He was arrested and sentenced to six years in the state prison. Part of the sang escaped and set flre to the Great Barrlngton hotel and the residence of William Stanley. Andrews offered to turn state's evi- dence on the gang and upon doing so was released. After obtaining this confession Mar- shal Conklln returned to Long Beach and arrested Mrs. Qetz at the house at American avenue and Fourth street, where she is stopping. She denied the charge against her in its entirety. She gave bail of $1000. Andrews said that Mrs. Getz' goods were shipped to Los Angeles on the Salt Lake road In tfte name of Fred H. Peabody. The Salt Lake's books corroborate this. After the flre An- drews stole a Sunset telephone from the Casa Palma and hid it on a ranch near Long Beach. The 'phone was found today. The police believe that there were others Implicated and are on a still hunt for them. The night before the Casa. Palma burned the Riviera hotel, the largest In'the place, was set" on flre, but the blaze was soon extin- guished, and so far there Is no clue to the incendiaries. Andrews and some of his pals have been in other scrapes with the police here and have been under surveillance for some time. Fur- ther developments are expected. LONO BEACH, July 26.—Mrs. Grace Gelz was arrested here this evening charged with having conspired to burn h«r rooming house, the Cnsa I'nlmn, on the night of July 13. The fire started In an upper room of the building nnd almost completely de- stroyed the building. Special to The Herald SAWTELLE MISCELLANIES ' 11. D. Glass was down from Bukers- fleld early last week. He and his family will soon return to take up their residence at their old home on Palm avenue. People who know of watering places on the desert are requested by Super- visor West to communicate with him at once at Needles, as he Is taking steps to mark such places with metal sign posts. The state has appropriated $5000 for furnishing these signs and as soon as the water places are located on the_ desert the signs will be shipped. HIGHLAND, July 25.— The stock- holders of the Highland Orange Grow- ers' association met in special session on Tuesday and decided to rejoin J the Southern California Fruit exchange. A number of changes have been made in the original provisions of the exchange, the most Important being the prorating of the shipment of oranges. In the past the exchange officials could order a packing house to provide a car of fruit whenever they wished. In this way, fruit from different sections was thrown upon the same market at the same time. The prorating privilege gives the grower the right to pick bis fruit at his convenience and the pool clause gives him the privilege of Bend- Ing his fruit to market whenever he chooses. By this method, if a poor market is struck, it is the fault of the grower and not of the system. Special to The Herald.

Sincethen nothing has been heard from htm,but the finding of the boat on theocean front Is somewhat of a mystery,

as scarcely anyone would be foolhardyenough to go out on the ocean In sucha boat, f

However, It Is said that the missingman was an enthusiast and more thanonce confessed a desire to experiencethe novelty of rowing on ttie ocean.It is thought that, taking advantageof the outgoing tide Saturday after-noon, he passed on down the bay andventured out upon the open sea. Somethink he made an unsuccessful attemptto land In the surf, but 'lt Is possiblethat he was overturned some distanceout and the boat blown ashore by thewest wind. .

The police are watching the shoresof the ocean In the hope of finding thebody should It wash ashore.

Rlsley was between 30 and 35 years

of age and had been a resident of SanDiego for the past year and a half.His married life was a moßt happy

one. Mrs. Rlsley is completely over-come with grief.

The board of supervisors have re-jected a proposition by an Insurancecompany toInsure the safety of countyfunds.. The county rents vault space Ina local bank and the supervisors be-lieve that the safety of the coin Is suchas to make Insurance unnecessary.

The bonus which the citizens are nowraising will be used as a tempting baitfor Hartley or any other energetic pro-moter, the sense of the meeting being

that the offer will be good to othersbesides Hartley, and that not only willthe citizens gladly give the money butwill also donate free any rights of way

the railroad builders may desire.Rlalto lies three miles west of SanBernardino, and it is argued that theline When once completed will attract

homebullders and the community soonbecome a suburban residence section,doubling in population within a yearand making an electric line a payingproposition.

Special to The Herald.SAN BERNARDINO, July 25.— Tho

citizens of Rlalto held a mass meeting

last night and formally accepted theproposition of Seth Hartley of Coltonto construct within five months anelectric line from this city to Rlalto,assuring him that the $5000 cash bonuswould be Immediately placed In thobank subject to his order when the lineIs completed and within the five monthsspecified.

After the fire the police had theirSuspicions directed at Leroy E. An-drews, a roomer In the building, whodisappeared after the flre. Last Sat-urday Policeman Phillips arrested An-drewa on a charge of stealing a bathingsuit. .Andrews seemed much frightenedwhen arrested and offered to clear outof the state Ifgiven a short sentence.This was refused and Andrews wassent to the county Jail. This weeHiMarshal Conklln and Phillipshave pntdthe man several visits and urged himto tell what he knew of the CasaPalma flre. Today the man brokedown and declared that he flred thebuilding at the Instigation of Mm.Getz. He said she had her furniture In-sured for (800 and offered him $100 ifhe would .flre the place. Mrs. Getz,

he says, filled his room with papersand saturated them with oil. Andrewssays Mrs. Getz sent most of her be-

longings to Los Angeles and the flrewould have taken place on Monday

night but for the fact that Mrs. Geta"husband and niece came down unex-pectedly to visit her and she did notwant the flre when they were In thehouse. Her father Is Captain Felz ofthe Los Angeles chain gang.

When the husband returned to LoaAngeles Mrs. Getz went with him, An-drews says, to divert suspicion fromher and Andrews was to flre thebuilding during her absence. Thurs-day night was the time set. A mannamed Towers had the room aboveAndrews' and to save Towers Andrewscalled him downstairs about the timehe touched off the papers, and thesetwo were the first to discover theflre.

Andrews signed the following state-ment:

"This Is to certify that I,Leroy An-drews, on the Instance of Mrs. Getzof Long Beach, Cal., set flre to therooming house known as Casa Palmaon the night of July 13, 1905, and thatthe said Mrs. Getz applied the oil andhad everything fixed for the startingof the fire.I.'; \u0084"LEROY E. ANDREWS." ,,Andrews told Marshal Conklln that

he was an all-round crook and that histrue name Is Roy Sagendorf. In 1901,

he said, he and a gang of;firebugsset flre to the Mahaiee block at GreatBarrlngton, Mass. He was arrestedand sentenced to six years in the stateprison. Part of the sang escaped andset flre to the Great Barrlngton hoteland the residence of William Stanley.Andrews offered to turn state's evi-dence on the gang and upon doing sowas released.

After obtaining this confession Mar-shal Conklln returned to Long Beachand arrested Mrs. Qetz at the houseat American avenue and Fourth street,

where she is stopping. She denied thecharge against her in its entirety. Shegave bail of $1000.

Andrews said that Mrs. Getz' goodswere shipped to Los Angeles on theSalt Lake road In • tfte name of FredH. Peabody. The Salt Lake's bookscorroborate this. After the flre An-drews stole a Sunset telephone fromthe Casa Palma and hid iton a ranchnear Long Beach. The 'phone wasfound today.

The police believe that there wereothers Implicated and are on a stillhunt for them. The night before theCasa. Palma burned the Riviera hotel,the largest In'the place, was set" onflre, but the blaze was soon extin-guished, and so far there Is no clueto the incendiaries. Andrews and someof his pals have been in other scrapeswith the police here and have been

under surveillance for some time. Fur-ther developments are expected.

LONO BEACH,July 26.—Mrs. GraceGelz was arrested here this evening

HIGHLAND, July 25.—The stock-holders of the Highland Orange Grow-ers' association met in special sessionon Tuesday and decided to rejoin J theSouthern California Fruit exchange. Anumber of changes have been made inthe original provisions of the exchange,

the most Important being the proratingof the shipment of oranges. In thepast the exchange officials could ordera packing house to provide a car offruit whenever they wished. In thisway, fruit from different sections wasthrown upon the same market at thesame time. The prorating privilegegives the grower the right to pick bisfruit at his convenience and the poolclause gives him the privilege of Bend-Ing his fruit to market whenever hechooses. By this method, if a poormarket is struck, it is the fault of thegrower and not of the system.
