FIT UP ORNATE AND
COMPLETE GROCER SHOP
STORE CONTAINS MANY UNIQUE
DEVICES
Anderson G. ChansIor In New Quarters.
All Lines of Staple and Fancy
Groceries to Be Found In Estab-
Iishment-Booths for Women

Anderson G. Chanslor have fitted up
one Of the finest grocery stores in Los
Angeles in the Delta building on the
east side of Spring street, between
Fourth and Fifth streets.
When plans were made for entering
the new quarters the firm did not make
them with the idea of making an
ornate display of cheap decorations, but
with the purpose of installing furniture
that would be neat and substantial and
would keep the contents in sanitary
condition.
In the cellar are located the wine
vaults which contain all of the better
brands of both domestic and foreign
viands. In this large cellar are stored
canned goods, each kind in q separate
place and easy of access. The work
of loading and unloading these goods
is expedited by a labor-saving chute.
The new refreshment booths, lately
adopted by the firm, are complete and
the women patrons will appreciate the
comforts afforded them. While the
new store is not yet complete, 1t is be-
ing rapidly fitted up and within a
few days will be filled with an entire
stock.

HE HAS BRITTLE CHILDREN
Father Tells Authorities That Bones
of Offspring Snap Every
Time They Run
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, April 2S.-In a case at
Blackpool in which man was charged
with neglecting to send his two chill
dren to school, he stated that both
children had suffered from broken
thighs, and every time they walked or
ran their bones snapped. In the cir
cumstances he dare not send them to
a public school, as he was afraid the
other children would be rough with
them.
"Children whose bones as as fragile
as porcelain, whose limbs almost break
in a puff of wind or If they laugh eX-
cessively, are rare" says an eminent
physician. Such disease is confined
almost to adults, and though common
on the continent, is almost unknown in
England. 1t is the most rare disease of
childhood.
Brittle children will always be with
us. and by this one does not limit the
statement to the brittle-boned child.
There are those whose constitution is
so delicate that they acquire almost
any diseases with astounding rapidity.
1.-THE primary cause of the suscepti-
bility of the brittle child to disease is
due to loss of nervous tone, and to its
loss of response to outside influence
the protective response which wires off
messages to the organ or organs at
tackled, and puts them in defensive
condition. This loss of nervous tone
follows, of couse, as a consequence of
lcng-continued mal-nutrition."

MONROv|A HAS
REAL MYSTERY
SHERIFF PROBES STORR'S Pc
CULIAR DEATH
No One but His Fascinating Wife,
Apparently, Was Present When
Fatal Shot Was Fired
After Quarrel

The death of Rowland Storrs, who
shot himself accidentally Thursday
night at his home in Monrovia, accord
ing to the story told by his wife, Mrs
Alberta Dabney Storrs, is to be inves-
tigated by Sheriff White.
Dissatisfied with the coroner's ver-
dict, which found it a case of accidental
death, the whole affair will be probed
to the bottom and startling develop
ments may follow.
After an evening of revelry, young
Storrs went to his room and there was
shot through the heart. He had threat
ened suicide during a violent quarrel
between himself and his wife.
Deputy Sheriff Bert Franklin was de-
tailed to work on the case and to thor
oughly satisfy himself whether 1t was
suicide or murder.
The officers say that Storrs was in
tensely jealous of his fascinating wife,
who is sister of Mrs. E. Kendall Cut
ter, who recently won out in sensa-
tional suit brought against her by Mr.
Cutter.
Mrs. Storrs was the only person pres
ent at the death of her husband.
The officers are not satisfied with her
version of the tragedy. They say that
conflicting statements were made and
that there were glaring discrepancies
in the testimony.
Suspicious are rife that some enemy
of Storrs shot him during quarrel, but
so far nothing has been learned to
substantiate such a rumor.
Deputy Coroner Summerfield believes
that it was case of suicide. He said,
however, that the jury was forced to
bring in a verdict of accidental death
upon the evidence of Mrs. Storrs.
The investigation of Sheriff White is
expected to throw light on the manner
of death.

CITY MAY USE
CONCRETE ONLY
BUILDING INSPECTOR MAKES
STRENGTH TESTS
Finds Flooring Of New Structure
Gives Small Amount Under
the Severest Strain-Proof
Against All Damage

In an effort to defeat even the inner
most schemes of nature. Los Angeles
may adopt reinforced concrete struc-
ture as the only material for city
buildings, so that If the City of the
Angels should ever be stricken by
remain practically intact.
An examination by City Cement In
spector Hellman was made yesterday
of the new six-story reinforced con-
crete building at the southwest corner
of Third and South Main streets, which
Is to be occupied within few days by
the Citizens Securities company. Fol-
lowing the inspection it was announced
that the city might in future use the
braced concrete as it's particultr build
ing material.
Stands Severe Test
For days the new building, one of the
finest in the city, has been undergoing
a novel test. The first floor, upon which
1000 tons of vaults will rest, was put
to the most severe test known to con-
tractors. In the center of the floor
space, where resisting power is always
the weakest, the contractors piled hun
dreds of sacks of cement, making an
average weight of 450 pounds to the
square foot. The concrete was guaran-
teed to stand 200 pounds to the square
foot, but the additional weight was put
on as a severe test. For seven days
the sacks were allowed to remain on a
space seventeen by twenty-five feet,
while each day Inspector Hellman ex-
amined the measuring instruments.
Yesterday when the city officials visited
the building they learned that during
the week the flooring had given just
nineteen n-sixty-fourths of an inch.
Is Earthquake .roof
1t is stated by experts that the new
reinforced concrete building is as near
earthquake-p proof as any building can
ever be made. The concrete might
crack during a terrific earthquake, but
1t would be almost impossible for the
walls to fall unless the building were
uprooted
Los Angeles has now two reinforced
concrete buildings, the Homer Laugh.
lin building being the first. In the Citi-
zens' Securities building there is moth
ing that can be burned except the doors
and window sills. The Walls. floors
and ceilings are all made of concrete
while the actual floors are made OF
cement
The reinforcement consists of long
rods, made in the shape of lightning
rods, which are run through the floor
ing, four inches apart, thus rendering
collapse impossible. Through the
heavy supporting beams of the building
two heavy rods two inches in diameter
are inserted.
The upper stories of the building will
be taken up by office rooms, nearly all
of which have been rented.
The firm of Roberts Bros. erected the
building, with C. H. Miller in direct
charge of the workmen and plans.

Drox yesterday, II visited the jiu jitsu
gymnasium and they threw one another
around in way that would make an
ordinary woman shudder.
But they didn't seem to mind It,
and they soon showed how easy 1t was
to fall without being hurt and how
easy 1t was to throw an opponent so as
to cause the greatest possible injury in
the least time.
"A number of young women here
have signified their willingness to join
such an organization and If possible we
will secure a capable instructor and
begin to learn the art of oriental wrest-
ling. Why, the girls in New York who
are members Of the club never think
of having an escort If they want to
visit one another after dark and from
examples Of their prowess would think
1t tnadvisable for any masher to at
tempt to speak to them.

"A clever wrestler by the Jiu jitsu art

armed with knife, a sword or a club.

stories, the warriors of the Samurai,
having been disarmed during a fight,
frequently fenced with their fans in
the jiu jitsu method until they man

Once under their opponents guard the
victory was easy.
