SAYS STORM HAS SUBSIDED
Local Forecaster Promises Clearing
Weather With Plenty of
Warm Sunshine

The storm that has been lowering
over the Pacific coast for several days
has broken and there are prospects
for clear weather. Lately the weather
man has been unable to predict, with
any certainty, the conditions other
than those that prevailed. Now, how
ever he boldly states that conditions
will become more steady and that his
prophecies will be found not wanting
in preciseness.
The forecast for the next twenty
four hours Is clearing and fair, with
light east, changing to fresh westerly
winds, mostly southwest"
The weather conditions, as they pre-
vail in this and other vicinities, are de-
scribed in the following by Forecaster
Franklin: The barometer is rising on
the coast between the Columbia river
and central California, and falling in
the Rocky mountain regions, where
the storm appears to have divided,
part passing southeastward and a por-
ton northeast Light rain has fallen
south of the Columbia river during the
last twenty-four hours.

and that the testament presented to
the local courts is improperly drawn
up.
Mrs. Elliott alleges that her father
was a habitual drunkard shortly prior
to his death and that he was not COM
petent to make a will.
She further claims that lie Due was
not resident of the county of Los
Angeles and had no property here and
that therefore the local courts have
nothing to do with the case.
She charges that Miss Sells of Cole
grove caused her father to become
prejudiced against her and secured the
will in her miss Sells) favor through
fraud, duress and undue influence
brought to bear upon him,
1t is further charged that at the time
of the making Of the will LIE Due was
of unsound mind, weak and debilitated
and deranged to such an extent as to
incapacitate him.
The prayer of the contestant is that
the petition for probate be rejected and
the will declared to be invalid.

aid in improving Griffith park.

neer of the United States geodetic

commission that the government would
be glad to cooperate with the city in
increasing the forest of Griffith park.
The government has already fur

gan to break Wilson watched his man
closely. Had Buck been at home In his
own bed he could not have slept more
soundly. Not once during the night did
he even turn over and his breathing was
as regular as that of a sleeping baby.
The other prisoners in the Jail were
aroused and given their breakfast, but
the man in the little cell at the top of
the Jail slept peacefully on while his
cell became flooded with light and the
clang of Jail life echoed about him.
JaiIer Awakes Him
At s o'clock Buck was awakened by
his jailer, and Len Rogers went on as
day watch. Buck arose and rubbed his
eyes with his fists and yawned. He
declined water for his morning bath
but ate every bit of the meal served
him.
Throughout the morning he dozed on
his couch or blinked through the bars,
but he seemed to take no interest in
the affairs around him until it came
time for dinner, when he partook
bountifully of one of Sheriff Whites
Scent meals
He continued in the same sleepy con-
dition until after his evening meal,
when he went to sleep again.

route. He has no friends in the city,
and unlike any other prisoner he has
not received anything from anyone out
side the Jail, not even piece of pastry
or fruit
His death watch will be with him day
and night and suicide is considered i'm
possible.
Saturday morning Buck will be taken
before Judge Smith in department one
of the superior court for sentence. At
that time Attorney Warner will file
motion for new trial and if that is
denied Buck will receive the death SEN
tence and be hanged within sixty or
ninety days unless the case Is taken to
the supreme court.
1t is not thought that Buck will make
any statement when he is sentenced.
Since the finding of the verdict of
guilty by the jury in department one
Buck has refused to say anything, ex-
cept that he was feeling all right. He
even refused to talk to his attorney.

CONTESTS HER
FATHERS WILL
LE DUO ESTATE INVOLVED IN
LITIGATION
Daughter of Mining Engineer Refuses
to Abide by Parents Desire to
Give Property to Cole
grove Woman

Alleging that at the time of his
death her father was a confirmed
drunkard and therefore irresponsible
for his actions and accusing others of
having used undue influence upon her
father, Mrs. Georgetta lie Due Elliott
of Denver yesterday filed contest of
the probate of the will of the late
Denis LIE Due before Judge Gibbs in
department Q of the superior court.
LIE Due died in Los Angeles county
March last, leaving an estate valued
at 100000, consisting of valuable acre
age in Colorado and several fine resi-
dence buildings in Montreal, Canada.
LIE Due had been one of the best known
engineers in the country and his sue
cesses as a railroad and mining en-
gineer had won him fame throughout
the world.
But the grief of the mans life seemed
to have been the death of his wife and
daughter and the subsequent marriage
of his only remaining daughter to a
Protestant when he was strong in sup
port of the Catholic church.
Daughter Starts Contest
LIE Due came to Los Angeles during
December of last year and went to
live at Colegrove for his health. On
FEBRUARY l ne moved 10 the nome OF
Lucille Sells, an old time friend, and
stayed there until his death on
March 6.
He made the will during the early
part of February leaving all his prop
erty to Miss Lucille Sells, whom in the
will he mentioned as his life long
friend. He left one dollar to his daugh-
ter with the provision that should she
contest the will or attempt to alter the
last wishes of her father the dollar
should not go to her, but should be do
mated to the interests of the Salvation
Army at Denver.
When the will was filed, however,
Mrs. Elliott, the daughter, began to
take few legal steps of her own. She
went into court in Denver and stated
that her fathers property was in that
state and asked that she be appointed
Administrative to the estate.
She was given the appointment late
Tuesday afternoon and yesterday
morning her attorneys appeared in the
local court and filed her contest of the
will.
Says Father Not Competent
In the contest Mrs. Elliott alleges as
first cause of action that the will
presented by Miss Lucille Sells is not

will at all, that he did not leave will

Under Deputy Energies VIII BE De-
voted Entirely to the Inspection
of Construction Work Under the
Vrooman Act

With the thirty-three inspectors of
Vrooman act work which have been
changed from the office of Inspector of
Public Works Hanley to City Engineer
Stafford new department to be known
as the construction department will be
formed. This department will be under
the guidance of a deputy engineer and
will devote its energies entirely to the
inspection of Vrooman act construc-
ton work.
Although there is so much work in
the office of the city engineer now that
unless more commodious quarters are
soon secured it will be two years be-
fore he can handle all that is now i'm
posed on him without the addition of
any more, Mr.. Stafford declares the
new department will not crowd him
any.
This department will be in the field
entirely" said Mr.. Stafford yesterday.
MY Office can handle an almost un-
limited amount of field work, but it is
the office work that cramps us. with
the new department of construction
there will be no more draughting than
there has been In the past and it is the
draughting that crowds u.s."
AS soon as the board of public works
returns from the Owens river trip it
will order the quarters now occupied
by the library and from which that
institution will move some time this
week, fitted up for the use of the city
engineers department.
With the larger space for working
Mr.. Stafford is confident he can do the
work required of him, and some i'm
provements that have been held back
for several years because of lack of
room in which to make the preliminary
drawings will be rushed through.

PARDEE KNOCKS

SAYS ANGELEN0S ARE MERE
ADVERTISERS
Asserts People Are Loyal to Los
Angeles Because They Have Not
Travelled - Charges Much
Misrepresentation

1.-THE Los Angeles people are the best
advertisers on EARTH" said Governor
George G. Pardee at the Lankershim
hotel yesterday afternoon. "That is
what accounts for so many more tour
lists coming here than to the northern
cities.
Il want to tell you, though, that you
haven't got everything. We have good
climate and good scenery in the north
ern part of the state.
THE trouble with the people in Los
Angeles is that they never travel north.
They are sincere in their opinion that
this is the only place in the world be-
cause they have never seen the re-
mainder of the state.
Several years ago, 1 think it was in
1892, party of tourists signified their
intention of going north from here.
Everybody here warned them that they
would strike bitter cold weather and
snowstorms, but they did not dissuade
the party from going.
And It Showed
Just as luck would have it, it did
snow while these people were in San
Francisco. Boosters here had photog-
rapnerS take pictures OF the Palace
hotel with snow piled up on the window
lodges. I understand that they are
using these same pictures here in order
to keep people from going to San Fran
cisco.
II acknowledge that you are getting
more of the tourists here than we are,
but it Is because you are better adj
vertisers, for we have just as good eli
mate and just as much to show the
people.
For long time I wanted to come
down here and tell the people just what
the situation was. / thought that I
might hire a hall and a brass band.
Finally thought the proper opportun-
ity had come when [ was invited some
years ago by the chamber of commerce
to give lecture on California.

George Washington would see that
would surprise him If he was alive.
When I stepped upon the platform 1
was greeted with cheers. l started
with the traveller in the north and took
him through our wonderful, sights. I
dwelt upon the things that he saw
there for quite q while, and I noticed
that the people became listless and
were not listening to what L had to say.

DEATH CELL DOES NOT WORRY
ITS OCCUPANT
Talks to No One, Not Even His Law

Fate

Morris Buck convicted of the murder
of Mrs. Charles A. Canfied at the Can
field residence on South Alvarado street
January 27 spent his first day in the
death cell of the county Jail yesterday.
But to Buck the fact that he was in
his last place of abode before going to
states prison to be hanged seemed to
interest him not at all.
Following the death verdict of the
jury in Judge Smiths department of
the superior court Wednesday after
noon Buck was taken back to his cell
during the trial. were taken from him
and he was clad in the coarse prison
garb, half his garments of blue and the
other half of brown kakhi.
He was then taken to the death cell
on the top floor of the Jail. A small cot
was on one side of the room and a
stationary washstand at the other side,
and with these articles of furniture
Buck will have to be content
The condemned man walked slowly
over to his couch and stretched himself
out on it. Many men have been con-
fined in the same tank, but in nearly
every case they have raved out their
fears paced the floor of the cage like
wild beasts, glaring at their keeper or
sat desperately quiet on the edge of
their hunks waiting for the day of their
last journey and fighting against them
selves to hold out.
Has No Emotions
But such emotions did not seem to
trouble Buck. He leaned back on the
hard covering and blinked sleepily at
the heavy bars of the roof of his cage.
His supper was brought to him and he
sat up long enough to partake heartily
of the meal and then blinked his thanks
at the jailer for having saved him the
trouble OF walking to the lunch ROOM
At half past 6 Buck turned over on
one side and with a sleepy little sigh
snoozed off into slumber.
Deputy Constable Dave Wilson was
given the first watch at the doomed
man. Wilson had served out many a
long hour OF the death watch and
during the dark still hours preceding
the gray of dawn he had heard the con-
demned criminals start from their
sleep, screaming wild oaths of fright
and groveling on the floor of their cell,
clawing at the stone flooring in
frenzy of terror; so when the dawn be-

"The state as whole is enjoying un-

When questioned, Governor Pardee
would not say what he thought about
