Alden Green, who was appointed by
the board of drecto ors of the Los An.
geles chamber of commerce TO take
charse of the county >exhibit at the
state fair at Sacramento. returned yes-
terday with almost thirty prizes to his
credit.
The Los Angeles county exhibit CON
slSteu or citrus fruits, vegetable prod
ucts and mechanical appliances recent
~ patented by residents of the county
A harmonious color scheme was com
bined with the exhibit and did much
TO attract attention and finally aid in
winning the prizes.
The exhibit returns to Los Angeles
with twenty-five. premiums TO it's
credit, among these a considerable sum
OF money and three special prizes. The
oranges and lemons attracted particu-
lar attention, the committee on awards
believing, from their excellence, that
they had been taken out of cold stor-
age. When they found that such was
not the case the Los Angeles citrus ex-
hibit was awarded first prize
For twelve years this city has taken
no part in the state fair, but the cordial
reception the local delegation received
mas confirmed them in their desire to
return next year to strive for even
greater honors. The exhibit has done
much to open the eyes of the northern
coup ties to the great strides Southern
California has made in the past few
years, and better feeling was pro-
NOTED between the two sections of the
state. San Diego and Santa Barbara
were the only other southern cities
represented at the fair which recently
closed It's successful run of three weeks
Marvel at Enterprise
Northern California people marvel at
the popularity of Los Angeles and the
southland said Mr.. Green. ''They
claim to have the best of us, and it ap-
pears to worry the Sacramento people
because, as they say, whole trainloads
of tourists go through their town bound
straight for Los Angeles
Several of the representative men of
sacramento told me that they had often
attempted to get the tourists to stop
over and take look at the state cati-
tai Sometimes they succeeded in get
ting few to buy and locate, but il
was hard work. Sacramento is a hand
some and enterprising city, but Los
Angeles is justly the favorite home and
pleasure metropolis of California. with
ideal climatic conditions, and countless
coast and mountain resorts

PAIR PILFER GOLD BRACELET
Man and Wife Held on Suspicion Of
Being Daring Shop
Ifters

George Ellsworth and his wife, Ma
tilda, alleged daring shoplifters, were
arrested yesterday afternoon by Detec-
tive Zelgler. charged with stealing a
gold bracelet from the jewelry store of
George H. Curry 2l9 West First street,
August 27.
The detectives say that a quantity of
goods were found at the room of the
Ellsworths in West Sixth street
Curry said the couple entered his
store last week and asked to look at
watches. Nearby was a tray of ex-
pensve bracelets. The jeweler was
waiting on other customers and his at
tention was distracted from the man
and woman who were examining some
articles.
A little later they went out, after
concluding not to make a purchase.
Shortly after, Mr.. Curry said, he missed
a watch and bracelet valued at SIS.
He reported the loss TO the detectives
and a search was made for the man
and woman, with the result they were
placed under arrest.
Mrs. Ellsworth, accompanied by her
little daughter, was taken to the
women's department OF the city jail,
and her husband was taken TO one OF
the tanks downstairs.
The naissing articles were recovered
by the detectives.

FUGITIVE COOK A
WILL-'O-THE-W|SP
EXCITED PEOPLE TELEPHONE
DOUBTFUL CLEWS
Alleged Wife Murderer Emerges From
His Hiding Place, Probably
to Telephone Friends and
to obtain Food

Fred ID. Cook, alleged wife murderer,
continues to elude police and deputy
sheriffs, despite all efforts to capture
him.
1t is probable, say the police, that
many of the supposed appearances of
Cook are Cue to the excited imagina-
ton of persons who see a man answer
ing his description and telephone to
police headquarters.
Yesterday afternoon a report was re-
ceived by Sergt Harris that Cook was
seen in Laurel canyon, beyond Holly
wood.
A woman living there saw a man
whom she firmly believed to be Cook
slouching along the road. She tele-
phoned into the city to her husband,
who at once notified tn epolice.
The report was turned over to the
sheriff's office for investigation.
Morning Chase
A chase was made in the morning for
Cook who was said to have been seen
at East Twenty-second street and Grif-
fifth avenue Detectives Mccain and
Ingram and Patrolmen King and Home
went to the vicinity and made a
thorough search without finding trace
vi the pldSltTet.
Shortly after 1t was reportt that the
supposed murderer was seen on Slauson
avenue and another energetic search
was made.
Cook is reported to be carrying con-
siderab BILE money and probably boards a
car when so disposed, which accounts
for his being seen in different localities
during the course of two or three hours,
the police theorlze. Also, owing to the
imagination of excited women, inno-
cent persons have been mistaken for
Cook, the police also firmly believe.
Near SIauson Avenue
The Slauson avenue district is not
far from where Cook was seen Sunday.
1t is believed Cook has been hiding in
some abandoned shack near the race
track and probably has made his head
quarters in Ascot park, emerging at
intervals in search of food or in an
effort to communicate with some of his
friends, whom the police believe are
aiding in his escape from justice.
Notwithstanding the ease with which
Cook so far has avoided arrest. the
police are confident he will finally be
run to earth if he remains in Los An
geles.
