MAY BUILD NEW SYNAGOGUE

Following his severance from the
Synagogue Beth Israel, DR.. Isadore
Myers, the rabbi, will hold special SER
vices in Simpson auditorium during the
Jewish high holidays in the middle OF
September.
DR.. Myers says that he will hold SER
vices between the reform Jewish SER
vices of the Temple B'nai Birth and
the strict orthodox Of the Beth Israel,
He will introduce some reforms, while
adhering closely to Jewish customs
A cantor from New York will soon ar
rive to take charge of the music, which
is expected to be especially fine.
Hundreds of Jews attend the Sep
tember fe stivities, which they are bound
to do, who do not enter the house of
worship during other times, and for
these large numbers 1t is wise to have
special places of worship.
DR.. Myers says that he has no plans
for the future other than the holiday
services. But it is generally under
stood that a new, conservative Jewish
synagogue will be the outcome of the
services

PARIS SENDS
EXPERTS HERE
FRENCH CAPITAL MAY FOLLOW
REPORTS FAVOR
Los Angeles Regarded as Promis-
ina Field for Silk, Glove and Per-
fume Production, Hence For-
eisners Are investigating

The chamber of commerce of Paris is
preparing to send a financial committee
to Los Angeles to investigate local con-
ditions and determine the advisability
of locating several French industries
in and around this city.
The manufacture of silk, gloves and
perfume will be the special study or
the Partisan committee.
The chamber of commerce of the
French capital feels convinced that
this Is a splendid locality for the man
ufacture of perfumes, and that II the
mulberry can be grown to advantage
silk culture would offer special induce
ments to French capital.
The fact that such a committee would
be appointed was made known to
Amaury Mars, editor of local foreign
paper, by letter from the secretary OF
the Paris chamber of commerce.
This action was taken through liter
ature published by the local chamber
of commerce and sent to Paris by Mr..
Mars.
Mr. Mars had previously induced the
Partisan body to send a delegation of
six men to this city to study agricul-
turaI conditions, and these men are
now at work in this locality and have
sent favorable reports back to France,
with the result that French capitalists
have arranged to embark in the grape
growing and wine industry In this sec
ton of the country.
When the financial committee arrives
from Paris It, with the committee now
in the field, will be given reception
by the city officials and the chamber
of commerce.

LOVES FACTORY

MRS. THORNTON RECITES HER
MARITAL WOES
When Pretty Face at Basket Shop
Came Into Her Husbands
Life Love Flew Out From
Home

Because, as she alleged, her husband
deserted her when he became infatuated
with one of the young women employed
at his factory, Mrs Grace L. Thornton
wife Of Harry P. Thornton, president Of
the Los Angeles Basket company, yes
terday petitioned decree of divorce
before Judge Trask In department four
OF the superior court.
The Thornton case was given prestige
over other cases in the court room and
at the time of its trial the department
was crowded with spectators there to
attend the various hearings.
Mrs. Thornton, q pretty little wO-
man, neatly attired, took the stand In
behalf Of her petition.
my husband and l managed to get
along very well for a time" testified
the woman.
I'VE lived in Los Angeles and my
husband made a good living, but he
thought he ought to have a change and
finally went north to Tacoma.
Loves Factory Girl
when we returned he again went
into the basket business and while there
l believe fell in love with a girl at the
factory named Annie.
After that he would have little or
n0thlng to do with me and finally when
he was on a trip to Catalina he in
formed me that he would not live with
me any longer, but that he would give
me certain amount of money each
month.
Then he deserted me and although
made several attempts at reconciliation
he refused to return and live with me-"
One of Mrs. Thorntons friends then
took the stand and testified that she
had attempted to reconcile the husband
and wife. but that Thornton refused to
go back to his wife, stating that he
loved the girl Annie, whom he had met
at the basket works each day and TO
whom he had transferred his affections
Attorney Testifies
AS last witness the attorney repre-
senting Mrs. Thornton took the stand.
II have known these people many
years. he thestifed when they were
young people l knew them very we'll
ana watched them grow up and finally
when they were married the event took
place in my hiuse.
Since then l have heard from them
often, but the estrangement was sur
prise to me.
when l learned that the young peo-
pie had separated / wrote to Thornton
but he seemed to take no interest In q
reconciliation and the only statement
he would make was that he would
cheerfully give $50 month toward the
woman's support but that he would
never live with her again.
The decree was granted.

communication received at the. local

Washington directed local landoffices
to suspend all applicationsto to enter, Sc
lect, or purchase isolated and discon2
1nectedt tracts presented after Nov. s.
1905, which embraced less than. forty
acres. The order was made to put "a
stop to the~practice of filing home

was claimed that the .entryi1ien on
those islands had for their purpose the
establishing OF resorts and were not
bona fide settlers. q Z.
! Recently the secretary OF the inter.
iior advised the commissioned Of the
general landoffice that Sit was not the
intention OF the department to suspend
the sale OF such lands at public out
cry as are subject to disposal in such
manner, but was intended to apply
only to isolated and disconnected
tracts that are not subject to disposal
ior sale at public otitcry.
As a result of the above ruling Of the

of local landoffices are directed to for
