As the lightship, which is RELIEF

NEGRO HILL MAY RECOVER
Convicted Murderer Has Lost Desire
to Die


Archie Hill, the negro murderer who
attempted to end his life at the county
Jail Friday, is in no immediate danger
of death, and unless complications de-
velop he probably will recover.
The negros alleged wife remained at
the Jail all night Friday, and when Hill
was transferred to the county Jail she
was allowed to remain at his bedside.
1t has been customary to extend GER
tain privileges to the prisoners at the
jail, and among them was the right to
weekly shave.
Under Sheriff Yonkin said yesterday
that new rule would be adopted at
once, and hereafter no prisoners will be
allowed razors at any time.
The negro's desire for immediate
death has passed away. At his trial
the negro was represented by Attor-
neys Thompson and Rossiter, who are
now seeking to secure a new trial for
their client.
His appeal has been before the SUI
preme court for many months and a
decision on the motion is expected
soon. Those who are familiar with the
case believe there is little, if any,
chance for a new trial.

Ben White in speaking of the real

During my fifteen years in the real

at present the outlook most gratifying.
The inquiries and sales for country
property throughout Southern Califor-
mia, as well as for city, are brisker than
they were year ago; that is, any prop
erty, either city or country, that is
good. 1 mean such property as an
ordinary person would consider good
investment, if offered reasonably, will
find a ready purchaser
"The principal drawback in closing
many sales, which is very discour-
aging to prospective purchasers, is
that the seller will continually raise
the price on his property until the sale
is spoiled; then in many cases the
seller will want to accept the first offer
1 have more inquiries for both city and
country property than can be properly
attended to. Business is far better this
year than last as five and six room
cottages find ready purchasers who

The perspective of a residence pre-
scented in connection with this article
represents a typical California resi-
dence in the Elizabethan style, con-
structed along lines mentioned in this
article, and is the home of. w. F..
Jantzen. located on the west side of
Bush street, north of Pico.
The residence contains on the ground
floor large reception hall, parlor,
a library, dining room, a den, the
kitchen and a pantry. Front and back
stairs lead to the second floor, where
there are five large chambers, with
large closets for each; also linen closet
and large bathroom.
Opening off the upper hall is bal
cony on the front and rear of the sec
ond story large and comfortable
porch is provided in the front of the
house. ON the first floor. The first floor
is entirely finished in selected slash
grain Oregon pine with golden, Flenl-
i fsh and weathered oak effects. Each
detail throughout has been carefully
worked out, and the interior as well
as the exterior presents a modern, up
to-date home in which every con-
venience known to modern architecture
has been installed.
In the electric work of the residence
special features have been introduced
in a manner which enables the owner
to control each light throughout the
entire house from a switchboard in his
bed chamber, a feature desirable, es-
pecially with timid people, as against
house robbers. The lot upon which the
residence is situated has a frontage of
so feet and a depth of $50 feet. The
house was completed under contract at
a cost to the owner of $4,000.

NORTHERN MAN WINS PLACE
H. A. Buck Gets Coveted Position
With Pennsylvania

Passenger Traffic Manager E. A.
Ford of the Pennsylvania lines has
made known his choice for the posi-
tion of general freight agent of the
passenger department of the Pacific
coast, and of the thirty-eight appli-
cants for the position H. A. Buck of
San Francisco is declared the favored
one.
Among those who had aspirations for
the position there were a number of
railroad men from Los Angeles, but 1t
was conceded from the start that a
San Francisco man would have the
preference.
Mr.. Buck is well known to the rail-
road fraternity in Los Angeles, as in
his former position of district passer-
ger agent for the Gould lines with
headquarters in San Francisco, he has
often visited Los Angeles.

Lack of Zero Weather
Permits Use of Ar
tistic Features
BY A. L. Haley

Climatic conditions in California are
responsible to great extent for the
beautiful effects that cause a marked
difference between our moderate priced
houses when compared with those of
our eastern friends.
The writer, in an article two weeks
ago. attempted from an architects
standpoint to give the readers of The
Herald ideas of how to plan a s25OO
residence of the California style.
l will now endeavor to give a gem
eral review of such specification as
would follow to erect a $500 house as
above suggested and in doing so state
where the California construction diff
fers from the EASTERN way Of doing
things.
To start with, having no zero
weather to contend against we are
able to effect a great saving in our
foundation work. as it becomes only
necessary in this climate to excavate
below the surface from eighteen inches
to two feet in order to get a good
foundation. On the other hand, in all
eastern climates the architect provides
for all walls (however small may be
the residence) that the foundations are
below the freezing point. The writer,
having had practical experience knows
these Will vary from ten to twelve feet
below the surface
So much for below the ground The

sessing only a few hundred words,
others rivaling English, as DR.. Grier-
son says, or Russian, as 1 would say,
in their copiousness; some in which
every word is monosyllable, others in
which some are elongated by aggluti-
nation till they run to ten syllables,
like pa-l-ocho- -akan- -tahen- -tae-tin-a-
e-aSontali word meaning: "He who be-
longs to him who belongs to me will
continue letting himself be made to
fight" Some of these divers tongues
lack verb and noun, others are as COM
plex and systematic as Greek and
Latin
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-05

expenses do not stop there, as it also
becomes necessary to extend the walls
up to the top of the first floor joists,
construction made necessary on ac-
count of cold climate. 1t may read
lily appear that a saving between our
construction and that of the eastern
builder in the foundation is several
hundred per cent.
We will now compare the difference
in the construction of the superstruc-
ture of a frame building. All that
becomes necessary in our semi-tropic
thickness of lumber over the upright
studding, while the eastern architect
must provide for a great deal more.
First over the uprights there must be a
covering of tongued and grooved lum-
ber commonly called flooring; outside
of this must be layer of heavy felt
paper so applied carefully to cover all
cracks around window and door
frames. Then there is also always
covering of siding with joints Tapped
to the weather put on over the felt
paper.
On the inside the California house is
simply plastered over the lath with the
usual two coats of lime mortar. The
easterner in preparing against the cli-
mate must back plaster first between
the studding and then plaster thus it
man be seen an expense of 200 per cent
over and above our construction is
compelled in the two items alone, that
of the outside covering and the inside
plastering.
These details are referred to in order
that the writer may clearly determine
why the California architect is able to
design a residence, and from an artistic
point of view present a much more
beautiful and attractive house for the
same amount of money, owing to the
fact that 25 per cent of the entire cost
