OPEN GRILL ROOM
IN ALEXANDRIA
PLACE CROWDED BY LOVERS
OF BOHEMIA
Many Novel Features in New Resort
for Epicures-M ission and Indian
Furnishings Used Through
out the Place

The opening of the Mission Indian
grill in the Hotel Alexandria last night
was an invitation to the lovers of
Bohemia in Los Angeles The dictum
of the two hundred persons who assem-
bled in this newest grill room in the
city was that there was never any
thing in the country that compared to
it. Music service and the air of the
surroundings which carries one to the
far-famed gardens of lower Germany,
the Riviera in France and its sister
haunts in Italy, all were harmoniously
united to imbue the spirit of good fell
lowship found only in grill rooms.
AS it is named, Mission Indian grill
of the Hotel Alexandria, every sugges-
ton of the embryo days of California,
with its Spanish life and that of the
Indians of the desert, is carried out in
the decorations of the room. The cell
ing. the tables, the wall decorations
and its valuable paintings, and the
chairs placed about the tables were all
tributes to the artistic tastes that
prompted the establishment of the
place.
Mission Furniture Used
Throughout the furniture is of the
mission style and of the most expensive
character The comfortable chairs are
upholstered with leather cushions.
llpon which are painted Indian charac-
ters and signs. Around the walls are
windows which do not look out upon
the streets, but upon beautiful scenes
from Indian life on the desert The
windows are latticed and are emphat-
ically realistic. OF the latter there are
six placed at pleasing intervals about
the room
The ceiling of the Mission Indian
grill is fitted with subceiling of glass
mosaic. Between this and the floor OF
the establishment above are hundreds
of electric globes. These give light
to the room strikingly similar to the
delicate shadings of Remington or
Russell painting
A feature of the grill room is the alb
sence of tray tables so cumbersome IN
the average grill room. AS a substl-
tute the half dozen pillars in the room
are surrounded by circular shelves.
The Royal Hungarian Court orches-
ira of the Hotel Alexandria, assisted
by the Royal Hawaiian quintet fur
nished the music for the opening of the
Mission Indian grill The selections
rendered by both were typical OF Ihe
life of the Indians of the desert. The
old-time Spanish music was also given
much prominence. In addition TO tne
latter a fuegelhorn solo by Franz
Helle. DER Trompter Won Sakkingen,
composed by Nessler, was feature OF
the musical program.

BONDS RECOVERED
BY DETECTIVES
BOSTON MAN TELLS OF HIDING
PLACE OF BOOTY
Thomas A. Blake, Former Confidential
Clerk, Says He Is Willing to
Return With Officers to
Massachusetts,

Headquarters detectives stated yes
terday that several thousand dollars
worth of securities, said to have been
stolen by Thomas A. Blake, former
confidential clerk for Hornblower &
Weeks of Boston, have been recovered,
mainly through the instrumentaity Of
Blake's companion, supposed to be Mrs.
May Richardson of Boston.
Blake deposited a portion of the all
legged purloined stock in safe deposit
vault, and in company with detective
he went to local bank and secured
possession of the much wanted secur-
tiles.
Blake had no visitors yesterday. The
woman who was rooming with him
at Long Beach under the name of
Mrs. Richards remained at the beach
and denied herself to all visitors.
The woman is making strenuous ef-
forts to preserve her incognito and the
detectives are shielding her as far as
possible.
Blake is very non-committal and re-
fuses to give out any information con-
cerning his companion. Yesterday he
refused to see any newspaper man,
probably on the suggestion of the hand
some young woman who accompanied
Blake to Los Angeles.
1t is understood that he has made a
partial confession to the detectives and
says that he is ready to go back to
Boston to face the indictment pending
there against him.
Inspector Morrissey is on his way to
this city armed with requisition papers.
He is expected to arrive about the mid
die of next week.

News Of pretty little romance, In
which Los Angeles girl was the lead
ing woman, has just come across the
continent.
It all happened in New York and was
the most profound secret--at least ~
would have been IL Los Angeles had
not been on the map.
AS long as two weeks ago, Helena M.
Griffin Of Los Angeles and James Har-
court Cripps Of Springfield, Mass, de-
cided to succumb to the peadlngs of
Cupid. They are both leading members
of the Albany stock company and have
been making stage love to each other
for many long weeks.
They are great favorites with the
patrons OF the theater, but no ore ever
knew that the actors were not acting.
In New York they were married and
then went back to the company with
a determination to keep It a solemn
secret.
on the way to the theater they drop
ped into n telegraph office and sent n
message to Los Angeles. That inessag ge
proved their undoing.
There was a response addressed to
Mrs. James Harcourt Cripps, but alas,
Mrs. Cripps did not get the message
at least not until after Il had passed
through the hands of someone else at
the theater.
That evening there was n surprise
such as the bride and bridegroom had
never dreamed about. 1t was during
one of the love scenes. AS they received
their entrance cues the orchestra began
to play Mendelssohn's wedding march
and the bride was presented with a
huge boduet of bride roses. Deafen-
ing applause followed and the lines of
the piece were forgotten In the newer
and truer romance of real life.
Miss Griffin is n daughter of Mrs.
Eva Plaza Griffin and the late Col
George p. Griffin, a prominent lawyer,
historian and poet, and president of the
Southern California Historical society
at the time of his death. Miss Griffin's
mother is the daughter of Governor
Manuel de la Plaza, of the United
States of Colombia. South America, and
met Col Griffin when he was consul
at that place.
Miss Griffin left Los Angeles about
five years ago and has since been en-
joying much success in her chosen pro-
fession. She has a host Of friends in
Los Angeles and has spent most of her
life at the old Griffin home on Downey
avenue.

PHYSICIANS SAY SHE
HAS FIGHTING CHANCE
BARRING COMPLICATIONS MRS.
BEGGS MAY RECOVER
Ante-Mortem Statement Taken-Po-
lice Make Fruitless Search for the
WouId-Be Assassin-Believed to
Be Hiding Somewhere In City

Mrs. Nellie Beggs, shot four times by
her husband Wednesday morning at
their home on Diamond street, may re-
cover, say her doctors. Yesterday the
physicians at the county hospital stated
that Mrs Beggs had a fighting chance
to live, unless complications arise.
Although her ante-mortem statement
was taken at the receiving hospital, in
anticipation of her death, the victim of
the insane rage of her husband passed
comfortable night OF the county hos
pital, where she was taken a few hours
after the shooting. The police and de-
tectiVes were busily searching for the
would-be murderer all day and descrip-
tons of the man were sent broadcast
to all adjacent points.
One of the detectives working on the
case remarked early last evening: I'm
my judgment BeggS will be found in
Los Angeles. l may be wrong, but
feel confident that the would-be assas-
sin saw the futility OF trying to escape
by train and secured a room some
where. He Is certain to be caught and
think he will be found in some OBJ
scure lodging"
Although the Beggs family seemed at
a loss yesterday to account for the
shooting, it was learned by the police
that Mrs. Beggs has a claim against
husband attempted to secure this
money.
Beggs' criminal record is long one.
Even If his wife RECEIVERS he will prob
ably be sentenced to a long term in
state prison, say the police.
Chief Makes Statement
'In my judgment Beggs' body will be
found in the foothills with bullet in
his BRAIN" said Chief of Police Auble
last night after receiving a report from
several of his best sleuths that there
was no trace of the would-be murderer.
'.Either the man is in hiding in some
lodging house or else he has killed him
self, fearing to face what will mean a
life sentence at the least calculation.
although it is reported that Mrs.
Reegs has a fighting chance for life, L
do not believe that the woman Will live
long with bullet in her skull"
Chief Auble's opinion was shared by
several OF the keenest detectives.
