ABANDONS COTTON TO
MANUFACTURE SOAP

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-DanieI ].
Sully, once known as the "cotton king"
has abandoned the field in which he
made his spectacular coups and has
gone into soap and tallow. He has
become the head of a soap corporation
which has $1,20O,000 capital. The plant
is in Brooklyn.
Sully. it was stated yesterday, was
behind the recent movement in the
tallow market which has forced that
commodity up 25 per cent within the
last few weeks.
Sully said last night he was not try
ing to corner the tallow market.
II went into the soap business some
little time ago." he continued, land
since September 1 we have been ac-
cumulating a years supply ahead.
that's all. We have got 1t and now
expect to see the price of tallow slump
off some. We have no idea of forming
or entering an American soap trust.

Six Big Warehouses

The Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany is going into the warehouse busi-
ness on large scale. The large lot on
the northeast corner of East Third and
San Pedro streets, now occupied as a
lumber yard, will soon be occupied by
six two-story brick warehouses. each
50x125 feet, the improvement to be
made for the Southern Pacific railroad
by r. A. Rowan & Co. Running along
the rear of the building will be the
spur track OF the Southern Pacific that
already serves the big warehouses far
ther east.
There is pressing demand for ware
house accommodation in that quarter
of the city, but whether local firms will
occupy the buildings is not stated. 1t
is further stated that large business
firms in San Francisco, unable to Sc
cure accommodations in that city, have
secured leases on the property. Sew
eral firms have asserted for several
months that additional outside firms
were figuring on locating in Los Ange-
les permanently. East Third and Gem
trail avenue is the market center.
Many of the larger wholesale produce
and fruit companies have located in
that neighborhood, and now enjoy ship
ping facilities that have been sought
for many years.

FATHER KILLED; MOTHER SICK
Assistant JaiIer Murray Has Double
Bereavement in His
Family

James Murray. age So, of 112 North
Avenue Nineteen, father of Pat MUIR
ray, assistant jailer at the Central po-
lice station, died yesterday afternoon
at the receiving hospital from injuries
he sustained in a runaway which oc-
Cured yesterday morning near his
home.
The horses became frightened and
turned suddenly into an alley.
Murray was thrown from his seat
and was crushed between the wheels
of the wagon and the corner of a shed
which the wagon grazed. Murrays
right ear was almost severed and he
sustained internal injuries besides
bruises all over his body.
Murray's wife is now confined in the
Sisters hospital, where she has been
dangerously i'll for several weeks. The
news of her husbands death was
severe shock to her and it is feared
may greatly retard her recovery.

LEADS IN ORIENTAL RUGS
Auction Sale in Los Angeles Demon
strates That Favorable Facili-
ties Exist

Besides earning an enviable reputa-
tion in many lines, Los Angeles has
come to be known as the best Oriental
rug town in the west.
The owners of many fine homes here
are rapidly coming to be rug connois-
seurs as well as leaders in architect
ural development.
The fact that Southern Californians
are users of great amount of Oriental
rugs has been brought out by the auc-
tion sale now being conducted by the
Los Angeles Furniture Co. in its store
at 631-35 South Spring street.
The importations of this firm alone
place it in the same class as the great
dealers of New York. The amount of
duty 1t pays compares very 'favorably
with any of them.
A great many people are taking ad-
vantage of this auction sale, and it is
said by experts that prices are averag-
ing lower than the rugs can be bought
for in the Oriental markets.

diminutive is used when speaking of
her. She told several amusing stories
of her experiences, not to be published
But the great sevent of every actress
life-the story of her first appearance
may always be published.
''It was in 'On and off," she said
"I was little maid with thirteen lines
and nine entrances. Besioes that, had
to set dinner table on the stage for
four persons-E. M. Holland, Amelia
Bingham, Kathrine Florence and Fritz
Williams. That was really the hard
est part 7 ever played. How the chills
chased up and down my spinal column
when 1 tried to imagine what would
happen if I should drop one OF those
dishes. For the two months of the
rehearsals I had nightmare.
"When the production actually began
all that fear of something going to
happen passed away and l began to
really enjoy the part"
1t was little pathetic as she eX-
planned 1.-THE reason that she first
went on. All preparations had been
made for her trip to Europe to study
with Nine. Carreno, for the early am
bitions of the comedienne were mu-
sical William Steinway had taken an
interest in her and thought she showed
all the tokens of genius. But at the
ldSC moment nST IdllleT WAS LOheIl S6Il-
ously Ill and Miss Close was glad of
the opportunity to earn money. The
sum she received each week for her
entrances and thirteen lines seems abb
surdly small to her now but then, as
she says, it was fabulous wealth. So
she went on the stage and every one
except herself is glad of the chance
diversion of her career.
every one thought that father would
die" she said "but as usual every one
was wrong, but if it had not been for
that illness-"
Then she chatted for time about
Los Angeles and mutual friends here
and in the east.
"Why is it that the papers here call
me 'Glosz' instead of Close with the
accent on the 'e'? The Herald made
the mistake last Sunday and all the
others have followed the example
Perhaps you have my name con-
fused with Rosemary Glosz? A man.

take. After he had heard her argu-
ments he asked quite abruptly:
"'How is Pierce whitney?
Mother thought he said, How is
Peace Whitney? and replied, 1 don't

"'How is Pierce Whitney, your

Raymond,
"'sir,' returned mother my daughter

STRAIGHT LINE
TO THE COAST
PLANNING HOME SITES ALONG
HALF-MlLE STRIP
wild Rush Of Realty Operators to
Acquire Options on Acreage.
strip Is to BE Lovely
Boulevard

Now that Los Angeles has grown
from the mountain to the sea at one
pound in one day by q vote of the peo-
pie and Is In truth a harbor city of the
nrst magnitude on the Pacific coast,
fronting splendid haven for the
largest vessels ahoat, and one that Is
to be fortified and in time made naval
station, old timers and capitalists are
speculating on what will happen next.
and while the curious are wondering
and the idlers are recalling the old
days when things happened only once
in ten or twenty years, there are syndi-
Gates and companies forming to get
in on the ground floor along the half
mile strip that connects Los Angeles
with San Pedro and Wilmington.
HustlIng for Options
Even now active realty operators
are riding down the line to the coast
In autos securing options, planning
70 place real ocean view subdivisions
on the market. They are talking glibly
of villa tracts of one or more acres
Mob Hill home sites, and valley bunga-
lows and cottages, all miles below the
strawberry section on to the sea. and
then they are. also figuring on a wide
boulevard to the ocean, a beautiful
highway bordered with palms and
flowers, under the care of the city,
paved or oiled, lovely strip to be the
pride and boast of all Southern Cali
fornia residents.
Straight Line to the Sea
The distance from Third and Hill
streets down the half mile strip to the
sea is about twenty-one miles, and on
the strip is operated the cars of the
lnterurban line from Los Angeles to
San Pedro.
The strip is nearly straight line and
covers level and productive land, with a.
slight descent near the coast. The
town of Gardena on the line of the
Pacific Electric road, lies on both sides
or the strip, eight miles south of the
CITY, and from that point on there are
but very few dwellings. Between Los
Angeles and Gardena there are many
new subdivisions that are being de-
Veloped and improved by enterprising
realty firms,
All Eager to Buy
1t is predicted that in the near future
hundreds of new tracts in the direction
of San Pedro and Wilmington along the
half mile strip will be placed on the
market, and that investors and home
seekers will be eager to acquire the
holdings.
The strip cuts through the Rancho
San Pedro, a part of the old Dominguez
ranch, and also Rancho Palos Verdes
II is roughly estimated that about
three-fourths of the a reage along the
strip between Los Angeles and San
Pedro has been plated, leaving about
five miles Of the new frontage to be
acquired for development

Louis Lagisquet, a laborer, was ar
rested by Patrolman j. A. Mojonnier
yesterday on the charge of having at
tempted to criminally assault Mrs. A.
Joyner at her home on Central avenue

1t is stated that Lagisquet went to
the home of Mrs. Joyner while her hus-

made several remarks reflecting on
her character and then attempted to
lay hands on her Mrs. Joyner screamed
for help and LagIsquet ran from the
house. Mr.. Joyner returned to Los
Angeles today and at once swore out
a warrant for the mans arrest.

TO KNOCK OUT INDICTMENTS
vignes and Mrs. Scheck Are Taken
Into Court-May Disqualfy
Grand jury

Mrs Aurelia Scheck and H. c. Vignes,
both under indictment by the grand
jury ON felony complaints, appeared
with their attorneys in department 4
of the superior court yesterday and
challenged the various members of the
grand jury as to their qualifications to
act as such a body.
Attorneys for Mrs. Scheck allege that
less than the required number of twelve
jurors returned the Indictment against
Mrs. Scheck and that they were biased
The method of drawing the jury is also
attacked and if the indictments in the
Vignes and Scheck cases are knocked
out all the indictments thus far re-
turned may prove without value. The
hearing will be continued today.

MONDAY IS DAY
FOR OUTFALL BIDS
OVER 1000 FEET OF SEWER TO
BE BUILT
Bond of $1oo,ooo VIII Be Required
from Prospective Contractors
on the Big Municipal
Undertaking

Next Monday bids will be opened for
completing the last section of the out
fall sewer. 1t is known as section g.
There are approximately 1876 feet OF
sewer to be constructed and the work
is urgent.
When at II o'clock Monday bids will
be opened in the offices of the board of
public works, a bond of 100000 will
first be eXacted of bidders, who are to
furnish everything on the work except
the bricks and cement. Work must he
started within ten days.
SO far bidders have been scarce. and
II no bid comes the city will have to
finish the contract with day labor.
Because of the rapid growth of Los
angeles, especially in the southwestern
section, and the extraordinary amount
of pressure required because of the i'm
mense amount of sever waste dis
charged through the outfaIl, II is i'm
perative that the contract be finished
as soon as possible.
Temporary Relief
The board of public works has ar
ranged to relieve some of this strain
by turning loose some of the sewage
on the low lands, with the consent of
the rancherS, who regard the sewage
as fine fertilizing material. on the
other hand, realty men who have sub
divisions along the open channel
through which this excess flows oppose
this primitive method of disposing of
sewage, which they recognize as only a
temporary expedient.
Members of the board of public
works expect today to make another
trip along the sewer right of wav to
talk to property owners and to study
the engineering progress. Since the
abandonment OF the old contract by
Stansbury & Powell the members have
made several trips out that way, and
IN the event Of the city doing the work
they, with the city engineer. would he
well qualified because of their expert
observations.
With the scarcity of labor here. the
nearness OF the rainy season and the
activity In building operations, a con-
tract such as the outfall sewer is a
gigantic undertaking.
