Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-14

D. C. Heath of Boston. president OF
the Heath publishing house, arrived in
Los Angeles yesterday after an absence
of three ears, and has apartments at
the Alexandria.
Mr. Heath came west to spend a two
months vacation and came to Call
fornia, he says, because it has the most
restful climate that can be found any
where in the world.
Mr.. Heath is accompanied by one of
his partners, William e. Pulsifer, who
has charge of the New York branch of
the firm, and as both of them are en-
thusiastic golfers, they will spend most
of their time while here at the Country
club.
Mr.. Heath is enthusiastic about Los
Angeles and in speaking of its wonder
full development since his last visit
here, said:
1.-The business district looks very
much the same except that it now
covers more space and there are many
large buildings, but the outskirts of
the city have changed so much since
[ was here last that l hardly knew
that was in the same place.
"If it keeps on growing like this, you
will have half a million inhabitants by
1910. 1t is almost inconceivable to think
that many of these places that were
cut in the country less than five years
ago are now covered with beautlful
houses and lawns.
"This is the best place in the world
for person to come to rest. / have
been in nearly every resort on either
side of the water, but l have never
found a place where I can enjoy my
self like l can in Southern California.
"A year ago l was in Italy. L saw
very little of their boasted blue skies
and sunny days. 1 remember at one
time we did not see the sun for thir-
teen consecutive days. 1t rained all
of the time. OF course there are rains
here, but they never last for any great
period.
"I spent one winter in Cuba but it is
not to be compared to this country as
a winter resort. OF course their climate
is temperate, but it is not as agreeable
as that of Los Angeles.
"You have to take a sea voyage to
get there. More people get sick cross
ing the gulf stream than in crossing
the ocean. When you do get there, the
hotel service is very poor.
"Capitalists are now spending a great
deal of money there and will undoubt-
edly better the conditions, but it will
never be as great a resort as Southern
California.
''I think the country ideal. Just cool
enough-just warm enough Beautiful
scenery. What more could a man
wish for?"
Mr.. Heath will leave for the north
in about two weeks and will spend
some time al Santa Barbara and Mon
terey and will go to San Francisco
before his return east.
The branch of the Heath publishing
house at San Francisco was damaged
to the extent of $4,000 in the recent
milIion-dollar fire there.

DECREE GIVEN TO MRS. PRICE
Fortune Separated From
Better Half

An interlocutory decree Of divorce
was granted Mrs. Rosa Price from
George Price yesterday by Judge Con-
rev in department five of the superior
court The couple We're married at
Hunter o. T., in 1908, after they had
been acquainted scarcely six months
Price owned a billiard hall at Hunter.
but shortly after the marriage sold out
and moved to Crescent City. Accord
ing to the allegations of the wife, her
husband became a gambler, lost every
cent he had and went on series of
sprees, while she was compelled to take
in washing to earn enough to live on.
She further alleged her husband had
threatened to leave her and that she
had come to her relatives in California

short time later with the revolver in
his hand. Back of him came about
fifty men, all yelling like fury and
most of them with revolvers drawn
and pointed. L did not fear the first
man with the gun, but 1 was afraid
the others would fire and there were
a number of girls around the place.
"Look out for that murderer
shouted one of the crowd, and then
1 saw that the man was the fellow
who had been buying cream earlier
In the evening. He never pointed the
gun at me. but simply dashed past
me and said, Don't let them get me
till the officers come
II turned around and held up my
hand for the crowd to halt and L
hear Buck dash into the little boat
room and slam the door after him.
"One man in the front of the crowd
threw his revolver across the hollow
of his left arm and squinted along
the barrel, and 1 heard him say, L
see him and I'll have him in just q
minute
"'Stop that! said and he put down
the gun
"Then a man whom I recognized
as Officer Foster dashed up and asked
me where Buck was, and l told him
he was in the boathouse, but that he
had better show his star.
HE went to the boathouse and
moment later came out with the pris-
oner and handcuffed him and took
him away on a street car"
Evidence will be completed this
morning and William Buck, the
brother of the accused; DR.. l. N.
Cohn, the insanity expert from Napa;
Alfred Trident and Morris Buck, the
murderer, will be the chief witnesses.
The argument will probably require
a day and a half before the case goes
to the jury.

Lake overflows Every Year

Nearly every year during the rains
the lake bed overflows, but heretofore
we have been able to handle the sur
plus water by turning it into the zanja
on Figueroa street. The street depart
ment now refuses to let us use the
zanja and there is nothing for us to do
except let it overflow and then repair
the damage. The city will have to
stand the damage to the streets and
the property owners will have to bear
the burden of the damage to their
property"
Chief Inspector Hanley relented,
however, when he learned the great
danger that surrounding property was
in from the probable overflow of the
lake, and agreed that if any more rain
fell he would open the dam and allow
the surplus water to run into the zanja.
This is practically the only effects
of the recent heavy storm as far as
the street department, is concerned.
Hanley has continually held his men in
readiness to repair storm damage, but
aside from the regular cave-in at Ar
lington and Pico streets nothing pre-
scented itself for the laborers to do

The game between the PeIicans and

was a huge farce, resulting in favor OF

can their defeat be attri buted, as the

Leander Sylvester, aged about IA
years, shot and fatally wounded Mol
ton Christy. aged u years, last satur-
day morning, and there is a question
in the minds OF the authorities as to
whether the killing was accidental or
deliberate. Both parties are negroes

New River section of this parish. near
which place the tragedy occurred
Sylvester claims that he and Christy
were hunting squirrels and that his
( syIvester's gun was accidentally dis
charged, the load striking Motion in
the back. At the inquest held by JUS
tice of the Peace A. White, however, the
dead boy IS mother testified that shortly
before breathing his last her son told
her that Sylvester had shot him pur-
posely. Practically the entire load
OF shot from Sylvester's gun struck
Christy in the back, causing his death
in about two hours. Sylvester was
brought to Donaldsonville Sunday
evening by W. Nj. Fife and lodged ia
the parish jail, where he is being held
to await the outcome Of a judicial in
