GET RECORD OF GROVES
CINCINNATI DEALINGS
Attorney Now In Jail, Accused Of
Fraud in Eastern
Cifv

A record of questionable dealings in
the selling of property with unprotected
titles was registered against A. Groves,
the Los Angeles attorney who was ar
rested several days ago ON a charge of
forging deed to property on which
he had no title, at the detectives office
yesterday morning and confirms the
suspicion that Groves has had expert
ence in handling tampered deeds.
The record was received from Gin
cinnati and was in the form of a news
paper clipping, telling of transaction
between Groves and several prospec-
tive property owners in Cincinnati
several years ago.
According to the clipping Groves
practiced law in Cincinnati for several
years, handling minor cases in the
lower courts until about three years
ago, when he suddenly left the city and
nothing could be learned of his where
abouts.
The disappearance of Attorney
Groves followed closely upon a trans
action between him and A. F. Cottier
in an assignment case. A piano, which
was a part of the property of the as
signor, was lost during the settlement
of the case and it was alleged Groves
appropriated the property for his own
use but this allegation could not be
proved and a short time later Groves
left Cincinnati and came to Los An
geles.
An investigation was made of his
dealings following his departure from
Cincinnati and it was alleged Groves
had induced woman to advance $500
on a house which he was to build for
her upon land to which he had no title
and the woman lost all the money.
Several other cases of a like nature
were mentioned in the letter from the
east and may assist the attorneys in
making their case against the man
now in the Los Angeles jail.

MAY MAKE NEW COMPLAINT
Two Accused of Being Plckpockets
Are Identified

A second complaint may be sworn out
against three prisoners now in the city
Jail awaiting trial on charge of grand
larceny.
]. c. Kregelo of Indianapolis, who
was robbed of $3.50 and a return ticket
to Indianapolis on a car near the Santa
Fe station several days ago, is expected
to swear out complaint against the
three men today. Kregelo has posi-
lively identified the men as the trio who
jostled him and went through his
pockets, and If his complaint is issued
it is probable that the smaller charge
of grand larceny of property to the
value of $14 now placed against the
men will be held until an examination
is made of the new complaint.

BELIEVE THEY SEE SKY
CHAUFFEUR FALL THROUGH
Huge Kite Mistaken for California
Arrow and Spectators Are Hor-
rified by Accident

While Knabenshue calmly sat in the
aerodrome at Chutes park yesterday
afternoon tinkering away on the motor
Of the California Arrow thousands of
people in the business section of Los
Angeles watched a moving speck in the
sky and wondered how the daring air
ship chauffeur could risk his life among
the clouds in such weather.
The object was only a plain tailless
kite, flying at a high altitude over
South Los Angeles. 1t appeared no
larger than a good sized football. Those
troubled with long eyesight and a large
amount of Imagination, however,
could plainly see "Knabenshue, as q
mere speck" moving about on the
framework of his airship in an effort
to bring it safely to earth.
At 4:3O o'clock the tailless Kite was
seen plainly to be in trouble. 1t dart
ed into the face of the wind; then It
was driven back, only to make another
attempt The wise man who knew
nothing about airships said that Knab-
enshue was foolish. His neighbor, who
was also ignorant of sky travelling,
agreed with him.
At o'clock the drizze which began
early in the afternoon became a down.
pour. Umbrellas interfered with a
good view of a mans heroic tussle with
death. They were, therefore, lowered
promptly and, with upturned faces,
many watched the spectacle. Noses
served as divides for faces and little
streamlets of water ran down on either
side. All this was well paid for, how
ever, when, at $40 o'clock. the tailless
kite made tremendous dive across the
sky and started earthward. A cry of
horror went up all along Broadway,
where the kite commanded the most
attention.
A string had parted. The citizen who
knew, however, said the propeller had
broken and it served the air navigator
right for trying to go against such a
strong wind. Another well informed
person on navigation at great heights
gave as his opinion that the gas in
the big bag had been reduced to mois-
ture by coming into contact with a
cold air current superinduced by the
atmospheric conditions in the higher
attitudes. In spite of these hypotheses
on its downfall, the tailless kite con-
tnued ,on it's way earthward while
Knabenshue pondered over whether
clear weather next Sunday would per-
init him to make another ascension.

BLANCHE HALL IS
TO TOUR As STAR
ACTRESS WILL TRAVEL UNDER
MORoSC0'S MANAGEMENT
California Playwright Writes Roman
tic Drama for the Leading
Woman of the Burbank
stock Company

Blanche Hall, leading woman Of the
Burbank stock company, will be starred
by Manager Morosco In THE Imperial
Highway" a play that has just re-
ceived its finishing touches at the
hands of a rising young California
playwright, Harry d. Cottrel. During
the past four months Miss Hall has
shown such decided talent for emo
tional work that Immediately upon the
submission of this play Manager Mo-
rosco saw possibilities for the clever
young actress in the leading role of
the piece, which seems built expressly
for her particular style of work.
1.-THE Imperial Highway" Is a romance
in four acts much like IF I Were
King" E. II. Sothern's famous play.
It's action takes place In the mythical
princlpality of Zenobia, ruled by an
empress celebrated for her beauty and
power. Mr. Cottrell in collaboration
with Mr.. Morosco has succeeded in
building a play that will rank with the
foremost romances of the day, at least
such Is the opinion of those who have
read his work. In "In South Carlina,
"In Arkansaw' and THE Tigers Eye"
Mr.. Cottrell has displayed wonderful
versatility. His method of telling a
stage story is direct and forceful; his
comedy scenes are built upon legitimate
humor; his climaxes are brought out
naturally and with striking effect, while
the heart interest that is characteristic
of all of the young authors plays is
irresistibly winning.
Miss Hall will begin her rehearsals
for the role in about two weeks, and
the management announces a pfoduc-
tion of the piece at the Burbank thea
ter in the early part of March. The
following September will witness the
beginning of the tour, which will in
clude the larger cities of the west and
middle west.
In the meantime Manager Morosco
has entered into arrangements with
Mr.. Cottrell for the production of all
other plays he may write, and the
young author will shortly open his Of
fees in Los Angeles.

Heads DEPUTY List

TIcduS OCPuty EiSe
Results Of the civil service examina-
tions held by the commission for posi-
tions in the street department, which
were announced yesterday were disap-
cants.
In one case an entire class of ten
failed to pass the examination. This
examination was for foreman. Fof
record clerk there was but one appli-
cant and he failed to pass. Three car
penters passed; there were eleven ap-
plicants. There were five applicants
for the position of foreman of sewer
fiushers None of them passed.
Out of seventeen applicants for places
as inspector only four were successful.
For desk clerk there were three sue
cessful candidates out of nine appli-
cants. For assessment clerk there
were two successful applicants.
John c. Ince. who withdrew from the
race in the Democratic city convention
in favor of his friend, James Hanley,
drew a prize in the form of the highest
rating for the position of outside
deputy.
When Ince resigned his chances to
be the nominee of the city Democracy
for street superintendent 1t was under
stood that he was to be rewarded by
Hanley in case the latter were sue
cessful Having passed a successful
examination Ince's chances of an ap-
pointment seem to be excellent.

flowers are embroidered. Between this central space and the outer line are bars worked closely in satin stitch done in various shades of one color The example before us is worked on brown linen, the little flowers in the worked example being embroidered thus: The stems are in outline stitch the leaves in slanting stitch, the flower in straight across satin stitch with a French knot in the middle.
 All this embroidery of the flowers and leaves is done in the twisted em. broidery Peri-lusta cotton, the frame work in abrs in the stout quality.
 All the leaves and stems are green, two or three shades being used though never more than one in any one leaf or flower, the latter being light yellow with darker French knot in the center
 The framework is done in five shades of stout blue Peri-lust cotton The number of bars permits of four rows of each shade, beginning from the lightest at the top. All the shades are used consecutively, and as I have said in four bars of each, except ng the darkest shade, there being only space for three bars in that one
 The sides of the inverted square are five inches. the framework being one inch and a half at its widest part. The inner space is three inches square. The bars are half an inch wide. If you use finer cotton they can be ruled lit tie narrower.
 Care must be taken in working to have the outer and inner edge quite clear, with no projecting stitches. In fig. ? you see how the first or topmost row is embroidered. Work your stitches side by side in a perpendicular direction, making them so close to-

put the needle, and then sew the gold down with one of the colors used in the embroidery for the flowers or framework.
 Any kind of variety can be had in the open spaces for the flowers, and if you like to do so you could have dif- ferent flower in every square.
 For tablecloth border these can be repeated all the way round, and for curtains, etc, this design is very use- ful.
 For small articles, sachets, etc, you can reduce the scale of the design and do it quite small with excellent effect. An entire sachet can be covered with this design repeated in lines with small flowers in the empty spaces within the frames and between them as well. [
 This Italian embroidery can be done in silk as well as cotton. and if you use Roman or other satin for the foun- dation it is of course necessary to uso silk for embroidering with

 Any amount of variety can be had in using this simple design. In covering a large surface with these squares you can arrange them in rows point to point with spaces necessarily left be- tween, or you can rule the spaces with bars just the same as the first row. and thus get variety. It would be a good idea in long piece of work to make each framework in different color. Cushion-covers, bedspreads, couvre-p -pieds,, table-covers, etc., can all be done in this embroidery.

OVER SIX BILLIONS
Secretary Wilson's Report Like a Dream of Wealth.
EVERY SUNSET Ss,OOO,O0O GAINED.
Crop Report Leak Caused by Breach of Trust-Chief Scores Trading specuiators' Love of Gain.
 Hen Great as Wheat.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-"wealth production on the farms of the United States in 1905 reached the highest amount ever attained in this or any other country GOO, ,O00."
 In the first annual report of his third term, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson presents an array of figures and state ments representing the products and profits of the farmers of the country which he admits dreams of wealth production could hardly equal" Four crops make new high records as to yalue-corn, hay, wheat and rice, all though in amount of production the corn crop is the only one that exceeds previous yields. In every crop the general level of production was high and that of prices still higher.
 Besides the enormous yield of wealth the secretary estimates that the farms of the country have increased in value during the past five years to present aggregate of $6.133.000,000. Every sunset during the past five years" he says, "has registered an increase of s3.4Oo.000 in the value of the farms of this country" This increased value. the secretary suggests. is invested bet ter than in bank deposits or even in the gilt edged bonds of private corpora tions
 In dealing with the crop report 'leak," Secretary Wilson. after refer ring to the gross breach of trust on the part of one of the employees of the bureau of statistics" says: This department acted with vigor and dis patch when 1t got evidence of wrong doing on the part of its own officials. but we have no evidence of disciplinary or preventive action at the traders end of the line. where gamblers inter ested neither in the production nor consumption disturb values to the in jury of both and make loud outcry when creatures of their own kind cor rupt officials to betray confidence for the love of money. The responsibility
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-11-27

for this leak is shared by every one who, to get money without work, gam bles in farm products. When this form of industry ceases these parasites who tempt department officials will have to work for their bread"
 The method of handling crop reports, the secretary says. has been thoroughly recast during the year. "The farmers hen," the secretary adds. lis becoming a worthy companion to his cow. The annual production of eggs is now a score of billions. Poultry products have climbed to place of more than a half billion dollars in value. so the farmers hen competes with wheat for precedence"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-11-27

at any moment In travelling, or at the seaside, a small piece of work Is often very acceptable to do out of doors or on rainy day. This em- broidery lends itself very well to be- ing done in sections, which can then be applied to any material you please. The worked section should be pressed carefully on cloth with blanket un- derneath, before being applied. For application tack them into their prop CT position, slip-stitch them securely to the article, and then couch down a double line of gold or if the work be done in silk, or stout Peri-lusta cotton If the latter cottons have been used in the work.
 Another way of using the idea of this embroidery would be to worK 1t o5ii quit" a large, scale as a cushion cover, making corners of the same linen or satin as the foundation. Wide bars might be embroidered quite a third, of an inch Mde, with stout lus- Urine. This would be very quick work indeed and be extremely effective.
 In working. use always a needle the eye of which carries the thread easily.
