CAPISTRANO, Aug. l—Interesting dls- coveries in the way of relics of the old Indian and Mission days of this district have just been made by W. F. Stroscheim. in the course of excavations he is making at his residence. Stroscheim began work at a point 100 yards east of the old mis- sion building. Work had progressed to a depth of only two feet when a layer of ! typical mission brick, such as the Indians manufactured under the direction of the padres, was encountered. His curiosity aroused, Stro;cheim followed out the line of the bricks, with the result that he uncovered what in all probability are former repositories of the old mission padres. . The first layer of bricks proved to be an arch resting upon two upright walls about sixteen inches in thickness. The whole formed what was formerly an underground tunnel, four feet in width uand of unknown depth, as the excava- tions, which have now reached a depth of five feet and two inches, show that the walls continue still deeper. Interested by the first discovery, men tegan digging on eithes side of the tun- nel, with the result that three complete underground passages, each similar to the others, covered by arched roofs and separated by sixteen-inch brick walls, have now been brought to light. Old residents say that undoubtedly these were repositories of the padres of the mission, tunneled from the. mission and used for storing wine and foed and sacramental furniture. Others express the opinfon that they are hiding places for treasure stored away by the monks.

D B B S S e e e ] MAY_FORGIVES HER BRADLEE Miss Yohe Pleads for News of Strong’s Whereabouts. LONDON, Aug. 1.—May Yohe spent the day at the hotel, dejectedly reading and re-reading a batch of letters which she had just received from Putnam Bradlee Strong, and in which, while urging for- giveness and beseeching news of Miss Yohe’s future movements, he carefully disguised his own whereabouts. On the inside flap of one envelope Strong wrote: “Send word by bearer if you for- give me,” on reading which Miss Yohe exclaimed: “There have been all sorts of friends here to-day offering me all sorts of in- ducements to leave here, but I care only for Bradlee. Where is_he? Why don't they bring him to me? Why. does he write me if he does not love me? 1 would forgive him in a minute if he would only say that he is sofry.” Miss Yohe grew h%sterlcnl. Strong’s let- ters declared that he was within a day's ride of Paris, which was obscure enough to leave Miss Yohe in doubt as to whether he was in England or at Genoa. - Miss Yohe had all her trunks packed in read- iness to go to Paris, but an intimation she recelved that Strong was not' there finally decided. her to remain in London. Referring to this decision she said: “I don't see how I can spend another night in this miserable place, but I sup- pose I must.” 1 Before leaving London Strong told his friends he intended to go to_the United States and never see- Miss Yohe again. It is now evident that he has changed his lans and that a reconciliatory meeting etween him' and Miss. Yolte is only a matter of a few days. Such a meetin; would probably have occurred already i Strong ‘wera not doubtful as to Miss Yo- he’s attitude in the matter of criminal proceedings against him. e - Coaling Plant Contract Awarded. ‘WASHINGTON, Aug.. 1—The Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company has been awarded the gonfract for the new coaling plant at the Puget Sound na ard.

RACE JUDGES UNEARTH JOB AT COLUMBUS Save Innocent Speculators From Being Mulcted by Declaring All Bets Off Driver Stuart Is Suspended After a Thorough Investi- gation by Track Officials C to-day unearthed a job in the $5000 stake for 2:20 pacers and by prompt actlon saved innocent speculators who had backed the field for alarge sum of money. Severe punishment was meted out to the guilty person. Driver Tom Stuart and the horse Elder One were suspended for one year. There were six starters, but Green Line and Elder One were conceded to have the race between them. Green Line won the first heat with ease in 2:09%, slow time over the track, which was lightning fast. The second heat was a race in itself and was won by Elder One, who paced a beautiful mile in 2:05%, cutting his record by 4 seconds. The original betting had been Green Line $100 and the fleld $30. Elder Ope's showing in the second heat Produced the desired. effect on the odds, which now switched to $30 on Green Line and $50 on the field. The third heat went to Green Line in 2:10%, Stuart making no effort with Elder One. When the horses came out for the fourth heat the judges took Stuart out of the sulky and put Valentine, a local trainer and driver, up behind Eider One. Elder One took the fourth heat in 2:06%, outpacing Green Line in the stretch. In the fifth heat Elder One went to a break in the first turn and could not be set to pacing agaii. He finished behind the flag with a broken hopple, which investigation showed had been cut nearly through before the heat started. The judges declared all bets off, placed Elder One fourth instead of dis- tancing him, sentenced Stuart and the horse Elder One to suspension for one year and fined Hudson $100 for not trying to finish the last heat with Tertimen. Elder One is the pacer who finished second to Direct Hal in the Chamber of Commerce stake at Detroit and again at Cleveland. He had worlds of speed to- day and should have beaten Green Line.

English Shore by Reason ot the Tide Was in the Water Nearly Thirteen Hours and Did Not Suffer Very Much OVER, Aug. 1.—Holbein, who started at 6 o'clock last night from Cape Gris-Nez, France, to swim across the English Channel to Dover, was obliged, after a plucky effort and whea in sight of his goal, to abandon the at- tempt owing to unfavorable conditions. He was subsequently landed here. Holbein was in the water thirteen hours and was beaten by the strong tide. He was still swimming well when urged to desist, as at the rate of headway bz was then making it would Lcve taken him thirty-six hours to complete the journey. Although Holbein failed in his attempt to.cross the channel he covered much more than_ the distance from coast to coast. At 5:30 this morning he had cov- ered thirty miles, although then he was only eight miles off the French coast. It had been expected that Holbein would reach Vaarne buoy, or six miles off Dover, before the Western tide, but as he failed a consultation was held aboard the tug accompanying him and he was advised to quit. Holbein was bitterly disappointed but climbed aboard without assistance. To everyone's surprise he was fresh ‘and strong. His temperature was normal. He took nourishment frequently throughout the night from the tlg boat and maintained a steady stroke. e was guided by powerful lamps placed on a small boat. The tide threatened to carry him to the open sea when the attempt was abandoned. UP TO DATE. The Mexican Central Railway In- stalls a Pintsch Gas Plant.
