ALEXANDRIA NEEDS ANNEX
Fourteen Hundred Crowd Dining
Room, Vet Hundreds Are
Turned Away

"The necessity for the extension Of
the Hotel Alexandria to Broadway is
making itself manifest every day."
said General Manager S. j. Whitmore
of the new palatial hostelry yester-
day. 1.-THE number of our guests are
increasing every day and the business
has actually doubled itself In the short
time that we have been running.
1.-THE demand for seats in our dining
room cannot be accommodated. Each
day we seat from 1000 to 1400 persons,
and there are hundreds of requests
that must be turned down because
early engagements come in so rapidly
that it Is impossible to meet the de-
mand.
1.-The opening of the Hotel Alexandria
will, I fully believe, prove an induce
ment to the high class tourist trade
that wishes to come to Los Angeles.
In fact, it has already resulted in keep
ing many persons representing the
latter class in the city for much
longer time than they originally
planned to stay"
In support of Mr.. Whitmore's re-
marks many of the high class tourists
that at present have apartments at the
Alexandria say the only thing that has
prevented more of this class of trade
in Los Angeles has been the absence
of a hotel that Is on par with the fa-
nous exclusive hotels of New York
city and London.

WATCH PAWNSH0PS FOR
THE CONATY BURGLAR
POLICE ARREST A SUSPECT, BUT
SOON FREE HIM
While Preate and Friends Were at
Dinner Porch Climbers Got Into
Bishops Resdenoe-StoIe $500
Worth of Booty

Joe Markham, suspected Of being Inn
plicated in the burglary Of Bishop
Conaty's residence Monday night, was
released yesterday.
Markham was very indignant over
his arrest, and said that while there
was a past record against him, he had
been working quietly at his trade of
carriage painter for two years and had
not done anything for which the po-
lice could arrest him.
Bishop Conaty and a party of friends
were at dinner at his home, III Bur-
lington avenue, when the burglary
took place. 1t was evidently the work
Of porch climber and the robber got
away with a large amount Of Jewels
and valuables without being detected
About 8 o'clock Miss Susan Lynch,
relative of the bishops, went UP
stairs and found that the upper rooms
had been ransacked and the contents
| of dressers and bureaus strewn over
| the floor.
The police had instructions to keep
| the burglary a secret, and two of the
detectives thought they had a clew
which would lead to the immediate de-
| lection of the burglar.
Nothing was accomplished yesterday
as Markham was turned loose, and
now the pawnshops and secondhand
stores will be watched and any attempt
to dispose of the property may lead
to an arrest.
The value of the stolen articles was
placed at about $500.

Be Issued Against a Dealer and
Four of His Assistants for Dis
turblng the Peace

After hearing the story of j. E.
Creevy, S03 Wall court. yesterday City

against Harry Overell, Arthur Overell,
John Cries. F.. M. Glines and G. E.
Gwin, charging them with disturbing
the peace of the Creevy household by

moving his furniture.
According to the story told by
Creevy the men called at the house and
demanded payment for about SIS worth
of furniture purchased of j. NJ. Over
ell furniture dealer at 654 South
Main street.
Creevy informed the men that his
son. who was not at home at the
time, would pay the bill in day or
two. 1t is claimed that the furniture
man. together with four others, then
broke into the house, knocked the old
man down and took out all of the fur
niture.
After hearing the story Bailiff
Hiriart investigated the case and on
his report a complaint was issued.
The city prosecutor said he was in
formed there had been no lapses on the
installments on the furniture, and even
if there had been, the furniture men
had no right to forcibly enter mans
dwelling to remove the furniture with
out q warrant.

SCIENTISTS MAKE VOYAGE
TOWARD SALT0N SEA
PAINTER AND LECTURER GO
AFTER DATA
Dean Judson VIII Put Winter Scenes
In Desert on Canvas-Boatman
and Cook Accompany the Travellers
up Colorado River

Prof. William L. Judson, dean of the
Los Angeles College of Fine Arts, U.
S. c., with Prof. G. Wharton James,
the noted lecturer on Indian subjects,
left yesterday for Yuma, from whence
they will go up the Colorado river and
explore the Salton sea. They expect to
be absent one month.
Prof Judson, who is known as one of
California's famous artists, and who
has painted the desert in almost every
phase, goes on this trip to get the
winter effect on the desert, a phase
that has heretofore rarely been at
tempted. Several seasons ago the pro-
fessor made fine paintings of summer
on the desert. 1t is expected that he
will secure some fine sketches on the
Colorado and on the almost uneX-
plored scenes about the Salton sea.
Prof. James will doubles secure
valuable data which he will use in
his lectures.
They are accompanied by boatman
and cook, so that the trip will be made
with all the conveniences of modern
times.
In the absence of the dean the col
lege is in charge of the faculty

TYPoTHETAE WINS ITS FIGHT
Employing Printers of New York Say
Position of Open Shop Is
Permanent
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March THE following
statement by the typothetae is printed
today:
with absolutely no break in it's
ranks since the first ten days of the
printers strike and with forty firms
that have stood fast ever since, work.
ing full force, the typothetae considers
that it has won it's fight in New York.
80 satisfactory is the situation that
the boarding house for printers, estab-
lished ON West Tenth street, has been
discontinued. The typothetae now is
so adequately supplied that the canvass
for more men out of town has been
abandoned. Significant of the typoth-
etae's victory is the application from
firms that surrendered early in the
fight for reinstatement in the organiza-
tion. This is the best evidence of the
fact that the typothetae has made per-
manent the position of the open shop

Justice Rose inquired what sort Of a
wagon the defendant drove.
TITS a soda wagon, your honor"
was the reply.

"Well Judge, am surprised at such
a question. Drive a soda wagon and
not drink? Why, of course we all take
snifter now and then. 1t goes with
our business"
The Judge decided that he needed a
little more light on the Furze fuss and
continued the case until this morning.

GASOLINE BURNS
DOCTORS WIFE
OPEN TUB AND LIGHTED STOVE
PROVE DISASTROUS
Mrs, McLaln In Cleaning a Portiere
IgnItes Clothes-Presence Of
Mind Probably Averts
Fatality

A sad but singular accident oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon at 2:3o
o'clock in the burning of Mrs. Nc
Lain, wife of DR.. w. r. T. McLain,
at their home, 1888 Park Grove avenue.
Gas and gasoline proved an unlucky
combination for Mrs. McLain, who was
standing on the cement walk outside
and at the rear of the house. with a
tub on the lower step of the steps
leading up to the entrance of the
kitchen in which was a gallon or two
of gasoline.
Mrs. McLain was in the act of clean
ing valuable silk portiere when the
explosion came, presumably because
fumes reached the lighted gas stove
in the kitchen, fully twenty-five feet
away. Her arms and a portion OF her
body were enveloped in flames, the
former suffering the greater injury.
Mrs. McLain had considered 1t safe
to use the gasoline, as she was so far
away from the stove and was out in
the open air.
Makes PIucky Fight
Her presence Of mind in wrapping
her arms in the folds Of her dress
probably saved her from more serious
results Without trying to run and
thus fan the flames. Mrs. McLafn used
her skirts to smother the fiery attack.
The plucky woman expressed the be-
lief that she did not inhale the flames,
as she said that she didn't breathe
until it was all over"
Mrs. McLain was alone at the time
of the accident. but the explosion and
her outcries brought the neighbors at
once and they rendered all the assist
ance possible until the arrival of DR..
A. M. Gregory.
The doctor stated that while his pa
tient was in a serious condition the
indications did not point to anything
specially dangerous unless unforeseen
complications set in.
Mrs. McLain was taken to the Pa
cific hospital last evening at O'Clock
and she was resting comfortably dur
ing the night.
The portlere. which was valued at $50
was ruined.
