SEERESS TAKEN SOUTH
TO FACE HER ACCUSERS
POLICE KEEP HER OUT OF WAY
OF DEPUTIES
In Bexar County, Texas, Woman Who
Advised Others for Pay Is Charged
With SwndIing-Makes a Hard
Fight

Los Angeles women who wish for
tunes told by Margaret Graham Will
have to follow that gifted person 10
San Antonio, Tex, for Mrs. Charles
Sauer, alias Margaret Graham, left TINS
city Yesterday afternoon at 2:10 in the
charge of Sheriff John Tobin of San
Antonio.
After exhausing all legal expedients,
Mrs. Sauer was compelled to submit to
the inevitable and will stand trial in
the city where she is alleged to have
victimized scores of people by swindling
schemes.
The woman was driven about the city
vest erday morning in a cab. with a
police detective guarding her, in order
TO keep out of the way of deputy
sheriffs with possible writs of habeas
corpus.
Nothing happened and Mrs. Sauer
was safely put OH the Southern Paclhc
train.
Since coming to this city Mrs. Sauer
posed as Margaret Graham the
''psychic and seeress," and advertised
extensively in some newspapers. She
had luxuriant parlors on South Broad
way and did big business. Her
charges were so very high that only
PEOPLE of wealth could patronize her.
At the time of her arrest her powers
of divination seemed to leave her and
she dropped from the position of
"seeress' to that of Mrs. Charles Sauer,
alleged to have swindled women in
Texas of more than 100000.
over a dozen indictments have been
found against her in the courts of
Bexar county and the prosecution Is
confident of sending the woman to
state prison for long term.
Mrs. Graham, on the other hand, says
she will easily clear herself.
Lawyers Big Fees
The evident desire of Margaret Gra-
ham to remain in this city after her
arrest on a fugitive warrant was shown
by the large sum of money she paid in
counsel fees.
The police officials said last night
that Mrs. Sauer alias Graham had
remained in Los Angeles just thirteen
days after her arrest and that she had
paid 5000 a day attorney fees. making
total of $4,000 she paid out to her
numerous lawyers for the privilege of
remaining in Los Angeles about two
weeks.

PRESENTS MANY LEGAL KINKS
PercoIating Water Case at San Ber-
nardino Goes Over Till
Monday
Special to The Herald.


SAN BERNARDINO, March a.
Judge Bennett of Kern, who is sitting
in the percolating water case here, to-
day admitted the amended complaint
of the plaintiffs in order to cover GER
tain testimony that had been admitted
that covered points outside the original
complain. The case then went over
to Monday, when ii is understood the
defendants will present a demurrer to
the amended complaint. The case is
presenting more legal kinks and points
for argument than any similar case
that has been tried in the courts here
for years.
The general committee ,on county
division that was recently appointed
by the board of supervisors will hold
a meeting in this city tomorrow, when
the question of a campaign against di-
vision will come up. Ways and means
will be taken up to take care of the
expense and a vigorous campaign will
be commenced to offset the division
sentiment that is being fostered in the
west end of the county.
The immediate commencement of
work on the electric line extension from
this city to Riverside is assured. Last
night the Riverside chamber of COM
merce, in response to a proposition
from President A. c. Denman of the
traction company of this city agreed
to at once raise $1,000 the amount yet
needed to secure the rights of way
between Cotton. and Riverside. The
money is to be placed in escrow in a
bank and not to be paid over until the
road is in operation. In consideration
of this Mr. Denman agreed that work
would be at once commenced and
pushed.
The Incorporation election for the
proposed city of Upland will be called
by the supervisors about the middle
of May, and included in the proposed
limits will be nearly all the territory
asked, except that on San Antonio

WHARF STRIP
IS OWNERLESS
COLLAPSE OF FISH CANNERY
REVEALS SITUATION
Salt Lake Road and Ferry Interests
Are Solicitors over the Disputed
Valuable Frontage at
San Pedro
Special to The Herald.

| SAN PEDRO. March 14.-There is
little bit of water front over on the
east side of the bay which promises
to cause considerable comment before
it is finally decided who owns it. 1t
is the strip lying just above or to
| the northea Stward of the ferry land
| ing ana runs back to the present To-
cation of the canning factory, being
40 feet in length and about rs feet
wide.
1t appears that the trouble with this
bit dates clear back to the time when
the Southern California Fish company
obtained a franchise there from the
| county. Later that company violated
| its franchise by preparing to use it as
wharfage when it was only to he used
by it as a place for a Cannery. 1t
also desired to put in a spur railroad
track and when the county found this
out a suit was instituted to Gust the
| company.
For long time the suit was without
settlement. and the cannery held on to
| the location by maintaining an old
| building there. When the dredger fin
ally undermined it this winter and it
fell down. the space became vacant.
The Salt Lake company lays whilOm
| claim to it, but it has no papers to
back it up. and if Long Beach should
be fortunate enought to win its in
corporation suit against San Pedro that
city would probably Immediately give
| the road just what it desires.
Some months ago, so it is reported
San Pedro man went before the
county supervisors and asked that the
franchise on this bit of frontage be
given to him, stating that he intended
making valuable improvements there.
The board. if indeed 1t took any ac-
| ton at all, only told him that it did
not have jurisdiction there at present
and he was obliged to go away, his
errand fruitless.
| 1t is again stated that officials of
! the Salt Lake road are very solicitous.
The road has been making overtures
to squatters in orders to get peaceablc
possession of the territory on which
to build more dockage and tracks.
Superintendent Cullen spent yesterday
at East San Pedro.
If this bit of frontage is still vacant,
and it looks much as though it was,
it will be a fine thing for this city
providing the suit with Long Beach
is won for San Pedro. 1t will give a
landing for a bridge some day or a
free ferry should the city conclude to
go into the ferry business.

Flavor of Fruit.

The flavor Of fruit is a matter that
has engaged the attention of our deep
est thinkers on horticultural subjects.
Prot. Golf used to contend that there
was just so much flavor distributed to
each apple. The larger the apple, the
less would be the percentage of favor
found in it. He certainly was a close
student of fruits and must have had
some very good reasons for his opin.
ions. We do not believe that very
many people will hold to his opinion.
1t is certainly true that the more
water in fruit the less there will be
of flavor, because the less will be the
amount Of dry matter. 1t is claimed
that fruit grown by irrigation has
much less flavor than that grown
naturally upon hillsides where the
moisture supply is limited.

PURE WATER FOR COWS.
A Matter Which Has Very Close
Relationship to the Quality
of Milk.

Most Of US realize the Importance
OF providing enough water for dairy
cows, but seme neglect even this and
let the cows get along on half rations.
OF course the cows take 1t out of their
board by not giving as much milk as
they would do were they better fed
and cared for. Few Of US, however,
consider the necessity of having pure
water. 1t is as important that the
cows have pure water as that we have
it in the house.
Impure water will affect the health
and product of the COW as quickly as
1t will human beings, possibly quick.
er, for they drink more and take no
other beverage. Cows in milk will
drink close to seven gallons of water
a day and some of them will take
much more. The water supply should
be the first consideration on the
farm. 1t is of more importance than
feed or stables, and no reasonable
effort should be neglected to provide
an abundance Of the best quality.
For winter dairying a self regulat.
ing supply in the stable is very con-
venient and profitable The COWS
have the water before them whenever
they want it and they will drink little
and often.
But if the trough is in the yard and
the COWS must be turned out to drink
let them out Immediately after break.
fast. Like humans they want to drink
as soon as through eating. It will
make a difference of at least a quart
of milk per COW if they have water
then or are kept in the stable two or
three hours before watering. saws
Farm and Home. In herds of 30 or
more cows it will pay to have two or
| three watering troughs or at least a
large round tank in the middle of the
yard. Always avoid placing the wa.
ter trough in or near a corner. This
position frequently results in the loss
or injury of a critter by hooking.

DAIRY MATTERS.

Butter is better when it is fresh
than it will ever be again.
Cleanliness is the price Of good
milk and many other things.
1t is impossible to raise good dairy
stock without good deal of care as
to breeding.
The operation Of milking should
never be hurried, but the milk drawn
steadily.
If you have a scrub COW that is a
money bringer in the dairy, don't be
in too big a hurry to exchange her
for a pedigree cow with only breeding
and beauty to recommend her.
Good butter or cheese cannot be
made in a dirty factory. 1t must be
sanitary both inside and outside. Back
Of this must come clean cans, clean
stables, clean cows and clean mixers.
Sunlight and pure air are the cheap
est and most effective means Of keep.
ing dairy utensils pure and sanitary
after they have been cleansed. Where
these conditions do not exist, It is
then advisable to put them in hot,
