TO ATTACK VALIDITY
OF REAL ESTATE LAW
Dealer Will Base Defense on Contest
of Act Requiring Maps Of
Subdivisions

The first complaint under the law
providing that all subdivisions made
by real estate dealers shall be mapped
and the map accepted by the recorder
before any sales are made, was brought
before Judge Austin yesterday morn
ing, when M. Osgoodby was arragned
for having sold lots in Mission Bay
Heights subdivision in violation. Of the
law.
1t is alleged by B. S. Lewis and his
two sons of 7O2 South Grand avenue,
that they purchased lots in this subdi-
vision and have since been unable to
ger a clear title from the real estate
dealer. 1t is also alleged that No map
of this tract has been accepted by the
recorder and the complaint is made un-
der this act.
This law was passed in 1903. ami is
said by a number of prominent attor-
neys in this city never to have been
tested. For this reason, it is expected
that the trial will be watched with
great interest by real estate dealers and
attorneys of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Osgoodby declares that he will
light the case and attempt to prove the
invalidity of the act.

Why the Photographer
Asked BurreIIe

W. M. Wander Weyde. the New York photo
grapher whose appears so many re-
markable pictures, is the originator Of spe-
cialty. After many years experience as a
professional photographer he now directs all
his efforts on the hard to GET people. These
are celebrities like Hetty Green, and Farley,
the strike breaker, who do not care to have
anyone know what they look like These
people do not want to be photographed, and
yet Wander Weyde has recent photographs OF
both
Talking of the matter the other day this
specialist said: II guess ] get pictures that
others cannot because I go after people at the
right minute. An1 1 want to say right here
that 1 attribute about three-quarters of my
success to thing"
"What's that?" asked the questioner eagerly.
81 want to give every possible bit Of credit
to firm called Burrelle's. Burrelle has a big
establishment in this city where he conducts
the largest press clipping bureau in the world.
What has press clippings to do with my idea?
I'll tell you. 1 want to know every promi-
nent man and woman who is to visit America
in the future. 1 want to know every big event
that is going to take place. If it is a national
banquet I want to know who will preside;
IL it is international wedding I want to
know tho clergyman who will officiate; If 1t is
a yacht 1 want to know who will be
prominently connected with it. Burrelle
reads every paper published and from these
papers he furnishes me the information months
and sometimes years in advance. In this way
am able to get at people sometimes half
year before others in my line wake up to
the realization that these especial photographs
will be needed Burree is the secret of sue
cess and people in all sorts of businesses would
do well to connect with Burrelle quickly"

VICTIM FALLS DOWN STEPS
Fake Specialist lnJeets Cocaine to

Patient Takes Hur-

Charles Nelson Of 1929 West Tenth
street was the victim Of fake" doc
tor yesterday afternoon, being rendered
unconscious from an overdose of CO.
caine injected to relieve a toothache.
Nelson was standing on the corner
of First and Spring streets about 9
o'clock yesterday afternoon. suffering
from a severe toothache. Almost
frenzied by the acute pain, Nelson
turned to a man standing by his side
and spoke of his trouble, in the hope
that he might get at least some
relief.
II can fix you in minute" said his
new formed friend II am specialist
in just such cases." he continued as he
drew from his pocket a square piece
of paper, bearing in one corner, n
fac-simile of some official seal.
There is my certificate to practice
medicine" said the specialist" as he
passed the paper to Nelson who, after
reading it, nodded his head in .ap-
proval.
I'll fix that tooth up for you in no
| time. if you'll just say the word" and
Nelson. frantic with pain from the
throbbing molar, which had kept him
walking the floor all the night before,
accepted the proffered relief.
The alleged doctor excused himself
for few moments and on returning,
declared that he was ready to fix the
tooth. The two men stepped in the
stairway at 102 North Spring street,
and Nelson allowed the stranger to
use a hypodermic syringe for the in
lection.
"I Immediately became dizzy" said
Nelson, in telling his story afterwards.
Half a minute after l had allowed him
to use the injection, everything be-
came blank to me-"
A policeman found Nelson lying at
the foot of the stairs, suffering from
severely lacerated scalp, which he
had sustained in a fall down the steps.
He was sent to the receiving hospital,
where he regained consciousness, and
his injuries were dressed.

MORE ARRESTS
IN LIQUOR RAIDS
WILL BE ARRAIGNED TODAY IN
COURT
DETECTIVE USES STRATEGY
Six Cases of Beer and Ten jugs Of
Whisky Are confseated
by the Local
Police

Barricaded behind counter, and
armed with two big revolvers and three
long butcher knives, Antonio Rodriguez
of 672 San Fernando street was sur
prised by the police yesterday after
noon and placed under arrest on q
charge Of violating the liquor ordi-
nance.
Detectives King and Ingram have
for the last week been collecting evi-
dence against Rodriguez and knowing
that he was heavily armed and pre-
pared to make a fight, they surprised
the alleged "blind pig proprietor in
their raid yesterday afternoon by rush
ing into his place of business so sud
denly that he had no time to prepare
for resistance.
While Ingram was holding the at
tenton of Rodriguez in a conversation
at the rear of the building, King rushed
of the revolvers and knives.
Seeing that resistance was useless,
Rodriguez quietly submitted to the ar
rest. He was taken to the police
station and his bail set at S100.
Half an hour before the arrest of
Rodriguez, another alleged ."blind pig
was raided at 63S Buena Vista street,
D. Grower being arrested by Captain
Auble and his men on a charge of
violating the liquor ordinance. Six
cases of beer put up in soda water bot
ties, ten jugs of whisky and half
dozen jugs of wine were conflscated
by the police.
Both men will be arraigned before
Judge Austin this morning.

DiarrIlOea

Like many other dangerous maladies
diarrhoea often comes on Unexpectedly
and scarcely before the patient is
aware of It a serious disorder has de-
yeloped. During the warm weather, at
tacks of this kind are very frequent
and are often so swift In their results
that life is in danger before a physician
can be summoned. Every man who has
the interests of his family at heart,
should keep a reliable remedy I'm his

the best medicine prepared for diar-

What is Bright's Disease ?

Bright's disease is catarrh Of the
kidneys.
Catarrh of the kidneys may arise
from the spread of catarrh from other
organs, or it may arise from the irrl-
tation of the kidneys directly in the
organs themselves.
In either case, the kidneys cease to
eliminate the urea poisons from the
blood and allow the escape of nutri-
tious serum.
This leads to the presence of albu-
men in the urine and a rapid decline
of the health and strength.
Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys,
when all of these symptoms disappear.

treated as any other girl of the tribe,
and, from the Comanche standpoint,
she made an advantageous marriage.
When her Comanche husband was
killed by her rescuers she grieved for
him and regarded them as enemies to
be hated and dreaded. Even after her
uncle had dressed her completely in
the clothing of a civilized woman and
taken her to Austin, she sought every
opportunity to escape. The Texas state
convention was in session in Austin
and when, to amuse her, she was taken
into the gallery, her idea was that
she was brought before it to be tried
and sentenced. She illustrated thus
for a long time the Comanche idea
that the chief reason for the existence
of white people was to hunt CO.
manches when not being hunted by
them. She returned slowly to her
original state of mind as Cynthia
Parker, and. losing all appearance of
being a Comanche squaw she was ad
mired as comely and intelligent wo-
man. With her daughter THE Prairie
Flower" she lived with her brother in
Anderson county, Texas, until 1870,
when her daughter died. Thus cut
off from her past in the tribe in which
she had been adopted, she died not
long afterward.
Parker's Power
OF her two sons remaining with her
tribe, one died many years ago. The
other is Capt Quanah Parker, the CO.
manche chief of the present, who lives
with his tribe on its reservation. In
memory of his mother he has given
himself a very considerable English
education. When John Henry Brown.
himself connected with much of the
pioneer life of Texas, was writing its
history, he interviewed Quanah Park
er, who gave his birthplace as the
Wichita Falls, in the year 1854. He
is noted as a successful ranch man
ager, and he stands as high with the
white people of the southwest as he
Goes with the COnancneS. lie is one
of the few Indians in American his
tory with strain of Caucasian blood
derived from a white mother. After
her adoption into the tribe, her mar
riage to his father under it's customs
was as binding as was that of Poca-
hontas to Rolfe under the ritual of the
English church
He adds his mothers family name to
that of "Quanah,' as under the Gus
toms of many indian tribes he is en-
titled to do. In some indeed, descent
is reckoned only on the mothers side,
and where a family name is adopted
at all it is that of the mother. So,
though he is a Parker only through
his mothers adoption and marriage
into his tribe, he is still as much a
Parker as If he had been born under
civilized conditions, and elected gov
ernor of an American state, instead Of
succeeding to the first place among
the relics of what was once called the
"Comanche Nation"

EARLY SURVEY IS
CAUSE Of M|XUP
STREET NAMING A SERIOUS
PROBLEM
SYSTEMS ARE SUGGESTED
Angle Adopted by the City for Rum
ming Streets In 1S49 Respon-
sibIe for Discrepancy in
Numbers and Names

The proposed ordinance changing the
names of ninety streets in the southern
portion Of the city affects so many peo-
pie and such a large district that a
great many citizens call every day at
the city hall to object to the measure
or find out what has been done with it.
The council has recalled the ordi-
nance, which was passed two weeks
ago, and will make some disposition
of it next Monday 1t is considered
probable that no definite action will be
taken on the question until Council
man Smith of the First ward returns
from his trip of inspection of the prop
erty which he owns in the Bullfrog and
Goldfeld district. Mr.. Smith may not
return to Los Angeles for another week.
The change in names affects both the
Fifth and Sixth wards. One chief
cause of the discrepancy in the num-
bers of the streets running east AMI
west through the district affected is
the fact that Jefferson street runs in
Jefferson corresponds to Thirty-fourt h
street At Central avenue 1t ends and
runs into Thirty-sixth street AMI is but
two short blocks from Thirty eighth
street.
Does Not Run Straight
At Figueroa street the condition is
entirely different. The way the streets
are numbered there are but three
blocks between Jefferson at this point
and the southern boundary of the old
pueblo of Los Angeles. On the west
side of Figueroa there are four blocks,
Thirty eighth being on the boundary.
Lieutenant Hancock of the United
States engineer corps laid out the pue-
bio of Los Angeles in 1S49 under orders
from the city council, and for some
reason not now plain, he adopted a
system of running his streets on an
angle of twenty-eight degrees instead
OF north and south and east and west.
This was done despite the fact that
the land lines of the pueblo were run
north and south, and comprised an
area six miles square.
Affects New District
The section Of the city taken in since
the south was laid out on right angles,
and all of the streets now running into
this section from the city change from
their angle and run directly north aud
south when they reach the boundary
line This causes the miXup.
So great is this difference that a
person going out Fortieth street from
Main finds himself on crossing Figue-
roa, to be on Fiftieth street. City En-
gineer Stafford and the council are
looking for a solution of this problem
Some system of numbering only alter
nate streets and naming the interven-
ing ones seems to be the solution which
has occurred to most of the interested
parties, but none wish all of the
changes made on one side of the city.
They desire that the changes be di-
vided between the wards evenly. This
is the view taken by the council and
the question will be thoroughly investi-
gated.

Captive Is White Woman

AS he returned with her to his COM
panions, whom he had separated from

prising discovery or at least became
virtually certain of what afterward
proved to be the fact, that she was a
"full-blood" white American. She could
speak no English at all and was in a
state Of the greatest terror of her cap
tors. Through a Mexican interpreter
they learned that she had two sons,
small boys, among the raiding band

she was the lost girl for whom all
Texans had searched in every hunt
after Comanches during almost a quar-
ter OF a century. It was not long be-
fore her forgotten English began to
come back 10 her and one Of the most
remarkable features of her remarkable
story is that her recollection of the
life connected with 1t returned as she

LEAVES HEAVY DEBTS.
E, B. Seeley, Who Recently Sold Lease
of Brandon Inn.

Brandon, Feb. 6,-E. e. seeley, who
recently sold his lease of the Brandon
Inn, has gone elsewhere, leaving debts
to the value of several hundred dollars.
Seeley, it is said, has been doing business
in hand to mouth fashion, especially
his banking business. He has been in
the habit Of paying his bills by check
on one of the banks here, but as he
never had deposit of any amount in
the bank, when the checks were pre-
sented for payment, seeley was notified
and would deposit the cash to pay
checks. last week he gave several
checks to his help and the merchants,
and az usual there was not cash in
the bank to meet Them
Seeley was notified, and promised to
have the money in the bank the first
Of the week. The checks were again
presented for payment, but there was no
money, and it was discovered that he
had left for parts unknown. He sold
all OF his personal property that he
could and shipped the rest some Of
which will be brought back here, as
it is mortgaged. Persons here stated
that Seeley had several thousand dol
lars when he left the town.
