STATEN ISLANDS BOOM.

Indignant citizens of Staten Island
appeared before tha New York State
Railroad Commission Tuesday night
and appealed for better transporta-
ton service. Their demands are just
and it is dificnlt TO see how the au-
thorities can resist the arguments
put forth.
The defense offered by the railroad
representatives is interesting, more
especially that part where the coun-
SCI for the roads stated that it had
been promised for several years that
Staten Island would boom if this or
that we're done. Yet the boom SEEM
ed as far distant as ever. While we
cannot agree with the gentleman that
the boom seems as far off as ever, for
Staten Island, at the present time,
seems to be going ahead by leaps and
bounds, but it is evident that the real
boom will not come until decent
transportation is offered. The rapid
transit officials are standing in their
own light, so to speak. They say,

WILLING TO TAKE HIM BACK
Dressmaker Asks Official Aid In
Securing the Return of
Her Husband

Mrs. Augustine Towers, 2OS South
Figueroa street, has sought advice
from the police and the attorneys as
to the best way in which to induce
her husband to return TO her. She
says her husband has spent her money
and left her, going she knows not
whittier.
The couple have been married only
little over a year and they came
here from San Francisco. The woman
had been a dressmaker and by thrift
had saved up quite a sum of money.
The man, according to her statement,
prevailed upon her to buy a cigar stand,
which he sold and bought restaurant
at 532 South Broadway with the money
He is said to have squandered all the
profits and failed in business.
The prosecuting attorneys would not
issue complaint against him because
the money ne took, according to the
law, was community property.
The woman is looking for her hus-
band and is willing to be reconciled
with him. In the meantime she will
support herself at her trade.

SHOE SALE RECORD
CERTAINLY BROKEN
Event of Broadway Department Store
During the Past Week Thought to
Have Exceeded All Previous
Efforts

Probably the largest bargain sale
ever offered in California, if not in the
west. has been the result of the in
Department Store in placing on sale a
large number of shoes for 81 pair.
Thirty-five thousand pairs of shoes
at the cheap rate advertised resulted
in sales exceeding all expectations.
Many thousands of anxious bargain
purchasers visited the grand display of
footwear every day since the formal
opening last Wednesday.
The crowds of all nationalities were
orderly, consistent with all methods
that could be devised by the manage
ment of the store in handling such a
vast undertaking. The purchasers
seemed determined to take advantage
of the unparalleled offer and fit them
selves and families with good>s shoes.
A large force of extra clerks facilitated
the hard work of the great enterprise
and several departments were thrown
into one for the record breaking sale
of the season.
The low price and the large variety
of shoes place them within reach of
many purchasers who could not other
wise afford the value received and the
lively daily connections among the
shoes showed but little abatement UP
to the hour of closing yesterday noon
for the week.
The sale will be reopened tomorrow
and will continue until the supply OF
shoes is exhausted.

LUMBER PRICES SOAR HIGH
San Francisco Retail Dealers An
nounce Another Advance-SaiI-
ors' Strike Responsible
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-The
price of lumber has been raised again,
the retail dealers having announced an
advance in their prices of 81 q thou
sand feet on all rough or common lum-
Der. The rates on those materials
have been increased between 81 and So
thousand since April IS.
The reason given for the advance is
the increased cost of shipping material
to this port. The steam schooner men
assert that a number of outsiders have
taken advantage of the steam schooner
sailors to bring in lumber which has
been placed on the market at a greatly
advanced rate.
The wholesalers who control the labor
situation here disclaim any RESPONSE
bility for the present raise. The re-
tailers on the other hand declare that
the responsibility rests entirely with
the wholesalers. The latter have an
official price list and thus far no ad-
vance has been announced In this list.
But the retailers claim that it is i'm
possible to buy lumber at the prices
quoted and in order to get building ma
terial they are forced to buy at a
premium.

CANvASsES SHOW
DISMAL RUINS
THEODORE W0RES WORKS IN
SAN FRANCISCO
Artist Who Lost Paintings and Art
Collection In Disaster Returns
to Los Angeles With In
teresting Pictures

Theodore Wores who lost some of his
finest work in the San Francisco dis
aster, and also his entire collection of
bric-a-brac and souvenirs from ell
parts of the world which he had gath
cred during many years Of travel, has
Just returned to Los Angeles after q
visit to the north.
While in San Francisco Mr.. wores
painted several scenes of the ruins, and
were II not that he knew where they
were painted, 1t would seem that the
canvasses were done in ancient Italy,
or from an old English abbey, so pic
turesdue are the ruins, and withal, so
ancient looking.
What formerly was Grace Episcopal
church, one of the most fashionable
churches of San Francisco, as depicted
by Mr.. Wores brush, takes on the
glamour of fifteenth century English
structure, and the ruins of the city hall
that of the old ruin of Italy.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
cansa sses that Mr.. Wores has brought
to Los Angeles which, by the way, are
the first paintings of the ruined city, Is
q view of the city from Mob Hill, with
the city hall dome in the distance.
over the desolated city blue haze
hangs, which makes a beautiful back
ground for the nearer ruins.
In this scene the artist found bit
of nature, ever pointing upward. In
the midst of the ruins, where the trees
were blackened and charred and the
once beautiful residences but mere
piles of brick, the grass was beginning
to grow green, and in the center, with
q ruined city as foil for its whiteness,
stood a white annunciation lily, just
bursting forth into bloom, pointing, as
1t were, to the resurrection of the city,
and to the life that Is to follow this
perishable nature.
This phase of the scene especially
struck the artist and doubtless he will
paint a panel picture with the beauti-
full white lily opening its white petals
in it's blackened and ruined surround
ings.
A grim relic which Mr.. Wores
brought to his Los Angeles studio is
small piece of what was once beauti-
full and valuable piece of old Japanese
armor which the artist had in his
northern home. While digging among
the ruins he found the small fragment
and brought it here as the sole pos
session of a once beautiful collection.
Mr. Wores will leave the first of the
week for a sketching trip near Santa
Barbara and will be absent several
weeks. A. NJ. c.
