MERCURY RISES
TO NINETY FIVE
THE CITY'S SUMMER RESORT
RECORD BROKEN
GREAT INCREASE IN HUMIDITY
Two Months of Cool Weather For
gotten When the Warm Spell
Comes-Fans Needed
for Today

Would you have suffered more from
the heat yesterday If you had known
that thus far it was the hottest day of
the summer?
The attendant of the official ther-
mometer said so in his report made
last night, and there is no gainsaying
the truth of his statement.
Weather Prophet Franklin arose
early yesterday morning for the ex-
press purpose of watching the mer-
curry climb. At 10 o'clock the mercury
rested at SO degrees and a little before
neon 1t had reached 95 The atmos-
phere carried with it an unusual
amount of humidity and as result
Angelenos sweltered. Mr.. Franklin
says the Salton sea has nothing to do
with this increase of humidity in
spite of the fact that the sun is drink
ing up the big inland sea at the rate
OF three or four thousand cubic feet
OF water a day. He accounts for the
warm weather in this statement:
There was an area of high pressure
to the north of this vicinity and an
area of low pressure to the south,
giving hot, dry winds"
1t is thus easily to be seen that high
and low pressure are directly respon-
sible for the heat wave and that the
government weather man is entirely in
nocent of any wrongdoing.
Today Will Be Warm
AS point of information Angelenos
forgot to tell tourists yesterday that
Los Angeles is the ideal summer resort
OF the Pacific coast. 1t will be best
for them to have another lapse of
memory today, inasmuch as the fore
cast is for continued warm weather.
1t may be well to state, also, that
1t has been unusually cool in Los An
geles during the present summer. For
July and the twenty-seven days of
August just passed the temperature
has ranged from three to four degrees
lower than for the same period of last
year.
In the interior Of the state. how
ever, even village clowns have ceased
their jokes at the expense of the
weather At Riverside Saturday the
temperature was 100 degrees and at
Redlands 102 degrees. At Yucaipa the
heat for the last week has been severe,
yesterday being productive of thunder
storms and torrents of rain

SAD SHOCK FOR
GEORGIA MAGNET
DEPUTY SHERIFF WAITS FOR
CLEVER ACTRESS
ASKS PAY FOR DIAMONDS
Annie Abbott Brushes Away Her
Tears While She Explains That
Another Woman 5orrows
Her Name
ASKS PAY FOR DIAMONDS

AS Annie Abbott, ''the original
Georgia Magnet" stepped from the
stage of the Empire theater into the
wings last evening she was accosted by
Deputy Sheriff Goodhue, who served n
summons to appear before the superior
court to answer the charge made by the
Herbert Joseph Jewelry company Of
Chicago, which accuses her Of buying
$500 worth of diamonds and forgetting
to pay the bill.
For a moment the little actress stood
aghast. Then, with a scream that could
be heard far down into the audience,
she cast the papers aside and started
for her dressing room. On second
thoughts she turned angrily to the
deputy and demanded by what right he
accused her of something of which she
was not guilty. She was met by cool
demand for the diamonds, and the
deputy offered bond of $1,000 to secure
her from loss.
NO" replied Miss Abbott, IT will
never give up my diamonds. Only one
stone that 1 possess was purchased in
Chicago, and that was paid for a long
time ago. 1 never heard of the firm you
mention"
Not the Only Magnet
BY this time the actress was too
much overcome by emotion to talk
coherently. When she became calmer
she cried: "This is too bad, too bad!
1 don't understand 1t at ALL" Suddenly
a light flashed in her eyes, and placing
her hand upon the deputy's arm she
cried aloud: II know it all. I am not
the woman you want. You want Alta
Tillie, that woman who impersonates
me.
"Ths Is the same sort Of trouble that
I went through with once before. When
returned from Australia in the middle
Of December, 1904, I was confronted
with the same charge in Washington,
D. C. There is another woman who
asserts that she is the original Georgia
Magnet Her right name is Alta Tillie,
but she uses the name of Anna Emma
Abbot. She bought the diamonds that
are mentioned in these papers Decem
ber 1, 1904. I was charged before with
purchasing them, but I easily proved
that / was not the person wanted"
Manager w. f. Banks of the Empire
theater gave out the information that
the woman of whom Miss Abbott spoke
is now in San Francisco. He said that

ICE COLD BEER TEMPTS
THIRSTY NEGRO. TRUSTY
Albert Harper Appropriates Two Bot
ties Of "Evidenee" In "Blind

Pig" Case
A warm day and "blind pig booze"
proved to be too much of temptation
for a negro "trusty" at the city jail
yesterday afternoon, and while engaged
in carrying into the police station 200
quarts of evidence" Albert Harper
was caught in the act of failing
from grace by Patrol Driver f. w.
Pllsehke.
Bowed beneath the weight OF cases
of beer the trusty plodded back and
forth in the station corridor until he
thought the watchful eye OF the police
was not upon him. and then in a man
ner that would make sleight-of-hand
performer envious he slipped two "o9.d
bottles" into his yawnlng coat pockets
Without even the quiyer Of an eyelid
he passed safely by three policemen as
they stood guard over the evidence"
but, alas. as he approached Plischke
his nerve began to fail him. When the
policeman demanded OF him the cause
OF the bulge in his coat the trusty's dark
skin paled and he almost fell IN a

BOWLING ONE OF
OLDEST PAST|MES
Nearly as Popular Hun :
dreds Of Years Ago.
FIRST AN OUTDOOR GAME
Record of the Sport Being Played In
doors in Twelfth Century-In
America in 1870.
FIRST AN OUTDOOR GAME

The game of bowling, which at the
present time is one OF the most popu-
lar winter sports of the country, is also
one of the oldest games known TO the
civilized world
Our ancestors hundreds of years ago
INDUCED in a pastine which, excepting
few radical changes during the last
century or SO. was materially the same
as our present game of bowling, and
seems to have been just as popular
In Middle Ages.
Bowling seems to nave originated
early in the Middle Ages. 1t was at
that time a purely outdoor game, as was
the rule with everything of that period.
The sport was known by a variety OF
names. 1t was called "bowles,' French
.'boules' and '.carreau." These three
names seem to have been the most COM
mon, but there are others, quite a num-
Der purely local. As played at that
time, the game was very different from
the present sport, but there was much
similarity
The game was played with sides or
teams. as today. The balls or bowls
were made of stone, one-half spherical,
the other half oval shaped This gave
been very desirable as 1t sped down the
bowling green. At each end was placed
a cone. which was the mark for the
one end of the rink and then from the
other
Nearer Than Adversaries.
! AS in the game of quoits or horse
Shoes the object OF the game was for
one side to place its ball nearer the
cone than its adversaries- The side
bowling last would, of course, try to
knock the opponents ball away from
the cone, supplanting it with its own
| the one nearest the cone scoring a point
| for his side.
The game was first introduced into
! America early in the eighteenth cen
| fury, and possibly the latter part of The
seventeenth. 1t seems to have beer
very popular in New York early in the
eighteenth century.
First Indoor Game.
1 The first melton of a game being
played indoors on q covered alley i:
!! found in William FftZ-Stephen's Sur
/ yey of London" about the twelfth cen
.ury. The first record of a match gam
being played indoors in America was :
| game played on the Knickerbocker al
| leys in New York city on January
| 1910. Since that time the game ha
! taken wonderful strides, and as a re
suit alleys can now be found in tn
smallest town or hamlet in almost ever,
State or Territory in the Union. True
the game is still in its infancy in tn
Far West.
| The enthusiasts on the Pacific Stop
saw their first pair of truly regulation
alleys early in April 1902.
