Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 9.
Dr. John Grant Lyman, arrest- 1
ed in San Francisco for fraudu- 1
lent use of mails, with his beau- 1
tiful wife, cut quite a swath in
the most exclusive circles of Los
Angeles and Pasadena society.
He was known as a good spend
er and maintained a handsome
suite of apartments at the fash
ionable Hotel Green, at Pasa
dena. It is figured by postal In
spectors that Lyman cleared up ,
about $20,000 here. Lawsuits
are piling up against him. Mrs.
Francis Hadleman has brought
an action involving $17,000 .
against Lyman. She claims that
she exchanged a valuable River-
side orange grove to the accused
man for 3500 acres of land of
questionable title In the Pana-
ma zone.
Condition of the Canal.
Washington, Stept. 9. Gov-
ernment reports received here
today show the Panama canal
completed to Its full width and
about half its total depth at
the Atlantic entrance. From
deep water to the old French ca-
nal, a distance of 5 miles, the
entrance has been widened to
the required 500 feet, and deep-
ened to 21 feet. The final depth
will be 41 feet.
The width of 500 feet and
depth of 41 feet will be extend-
ed to the Gatun locks, a dis-
tance of seven miles. The min-
imum width will be 300 feet in
the Culebra cut, but the usable
width of the locks will not ex-
ceed 220 feet.

San Francisco, Sept. 9- "Its
an insufferable business."
This was the first exclamation
of Dr. Charles F. Aekd, pastor
of the First Congregational
church here, on hearing today
that Rev. Joseph Lambert, pas-
tor of the Englewood Congrega-
tional church, of Providence, R.
I., had performed the marriage
ceremony uniting Miss Made-
line Force and Colonel Astor, of
notorious divorce fame. 1
"I remember the Astor di-
vorce," said Dr. Aked. "The
details, both the facts and the
innuendos were shameful. There
i was nation-wide public feeling
about the matter at the time-
That is why the performing of
this ceremony by any minister

The first thing striking one on en

display of flowers made by the land

also in charge of the lloral display in

The principal ' changes in the
coarse are that It calls for four

Bade optional. Believing that the
student who can not take a four-year

of the subject, Superintendent Pow

For the purpose of finally deciding

city the committee appointed to draft
the document held a meeting last
night and after reviewing half of the
copy as revised by the city attorney,
and" making several important
changes, adjourned until Monday
forenoon. The remainuer oi me
draft will then be considsred and
adopted and a copy be made ready,
so that the charter may be submitted
to the city council for Its considera
tion at its meeting Monday evening.
Mayor's Salary Increased.
After a consideration of the salary
of the mayor and the two commis
sioners, the committee decided to in
crease that of the mayor from $2,000
to $2,400 a year, making his salary
$200 a month. This was done be
cause it was felt that a man compe
tent and qualified to fill the position
could not be obtained for a less sum.
The salary of the two commissioners
was left the same, $1,800 a year.
The tire department was also taken
out of the hands of the mayor and
placed in the hands of the thrlrd
commissioner. Under the charter,
the mayor still exercises jurisdiction
