HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
BARON RoTHscHILp's
ENVOY BUYS OIL
nv THE EAVEsDHOPpER

The personal representative of Baron
Edward Rothschild, w. Melscke Smith
of Shanghai, arrived at the Alexandria
yesterday.
Mr.. Smith has just closed an oil deal
in Southern California which involveh
the exchange of S1,500,000.
In addition to being the personal rep
resentative of Baron Rothschild, the
John ID. Rockefeller of England, Mr..
Smith is representative I'm China of the
Asiatic Petroleum company, which is
TO the eastern hemisphere what Stand
ard Oil Is to the western hemisphere.
The company has headquarters at "a
and 2S st. Mary avenue, London, and
it's influence extends over the greater
part of the world
For the last week Mr.. Smith has been
the guest of the Santa Ynez Valley Oil
company, which owns 10000 acres of oil
producing land in Santa Barbara
county. In company with the president
of the company, B. II. Edwards, and
the secretary he inspected the oil lands
and they have bonded to him 10000
acres of the property for $780, 900.
He is a remarkable man in many
ways. A linguist with ten languages
on his tongues end, man of keen per-
ception, unusual education and a
knowledge of the wide world that few
young men of the day can duplicate.
An incident of his trip to Southern
California and one which has given him
more pleasure than almost any other
feature, occurred last night in the Alex
andria corridor when he walked into
the hotel and discovered a party of dis
tinguished Russian army officers who
had just arrived on a late train.
year ago, while making an expedi-
ton from Shanghai through the Jungle
In the heart of which mysterious coun-
try Tibet is situated. he met there
Russian officers, Major General P. M.
IakharoH, Lieutenant General C. A.
Kondratovich and Lieutenant Colonel
Glushanovsky. He has not seen them
since then and had not the remotest
idea that he would meet them in Los
Angeles after Nthe parting in that re-
mote part of China.
The Russians all saw service in the
Japanese Russian war and are now on
their way to st. Petersburg from Man
churia. All three of them express
themselves as delighted with America
and say that the most friendly rela-
tionS imaginable exist between Russia
and America.
When asked of present conditions in
Russia Lieutenant General Kondrato,
vich answered that he does not know.
| Il am fighter, L know nothing of
politics." said he in English that was
remarkably good for a man who SAYS
he knows almost nothing of the Ian
guage.
His companions were only able to
extend greetings and to shake their
heads when questioned in English, but
their tongues We're unloosed with de-
light when Mr.. Smith addressed them
in their mother tongue
!,
is that 1 was not born in America" !"
said Mr.. Smith, and he also said some
other things about the country that
were nothing If not complimentary.

FIRE is A CALAMITY
WHERE HOTELS ARE SCARCE

Mrs. r. B. Mcclure of Goldfeld is at
the Lankershim. Mrs. Mcclure is only
out of the mining camp for few days
and she has glowing accounts of busi-
ness conditions up there. She has been
operating in mining stocks for the last
four months and in that time she has
succeeded in gathering an agreeable
sum of money. News of the fire which
destroyed the Goldtield hotel reached
Mrs. Mcclure yesterday and she ex-
pressed deep regret.
Hotel accommodations were none
too plentiful before this disaster" said
Mrs. Mcclure, in the lobby at the Lam
kershim last night. '"rhe Goldfield ho-
tel was always crowded and people
were being turned away continually. A
fire such as that is always a greater
hardship in mining camp where ma
terial is hard to get and labor is scarce,
than in city where everything is
right at hand"

the estimated amount of his loss, he
would withdraw the charge against
her. She compiled with this condi-
tion and Attorney Spicer has an
nounced his intention Of dropping the

leave the ball room in company with
man shortly after Spicer entered
with the other woman and he stated
early this morning that he believed

Finds Furniture Destroyed
The first intmation Attorney Spicer
had of what had occurred came when,
at 7:45 this morning, he unlocked the
door Of his private office and his eyes
met a scene of chaos.
Valuable law books were found cut,
torn and splattered with ink and scat
tered in confusion upon the floor,
broken and scratched were tables,
desks and chairs. Valuable pictures
had been torn from their hangings on
the walls, the frames were demolished
and the canvas slashed. A glass door
had been broken out of a bookcase
section and was smashed to frag-
ments. In the reception room the
lawyer found that mahogany CENTER
piece was scratched and SCARED with
piece of glass. A sofa pillow had
been slashed and picture, showing
Spicer and his bride in hunting cos
tunes, had been taken from the wall
and torn to pieces. s
THAT gave me my best clew," said
Spicer. only a woman's jealousy
could have been the cause of such an
act"
Spicer was married but few months
ago to Miss Mabel Johnson of Mount
Pleasant, Utah. Three weeks later
the attention of the police was called
to the Spicers' home, where at late
hour of night pistol shots and screams
were heard. 1t was said that Spicer
fired the revolver to frighten his bride.
Soon afterward Mrs. Spicer was found
under the influence of carbolic acid
and was supposed to have taken the
drug with suicidal intent. A few days
later her parents arrived In this city
! and recently went back to Utah, taxi
ing their daughter with them.

Common sense is just as necessary

People are getting to know more than
they used to. Not so long ago it was
the fashion to make all sorts of claims
for a medicine, and wind up by asking
the reader to go to a drug store and
buy a bottle. People won't stand for
that kind of thing now. They want
proof tangible proof. They want to
try the remedy first and if they find 1t

Florida Pays Tribute to Climate

Some people assert that Florida is
the ideal wintering spot, but others
swear by Los Angeles. If there is any
truth in the old saying. "The test of the
pudding is in the eating" Los Angeles
wins with a flourish. Mr.. and Mrs. b.
b. Pope of Jacksonville, Fla, the sup
posed home of climate par excellence,
have come to Los Angeles for the eli
mate. Mr.. Pope is a wealthy wholesale
grocer of Jacksonville, but his health
has not been good lately and he has
come to Southern California to recuper-
ate. Everybody knew that people come
from every other part of the world ex-
cept Florida to Los Angeles. but for a
resident of one tropical resort to come
to another is certainly compliment to
the latter Mr.. and Mrs. Pope are at
