AVERTS PANIC
CLOSES IRON DOORS IN BLAZ'
ING FURNACE ROOM
Woman's Quick Action and Depart
ment's Fast Run Saves Hope
Street Apartment House
From Burning

The fireproof construction of the
furnace room at the Pierce apartments,
444 South Hope street, alone prevented
u serious blaze last night at 10 o'clock.
The oil burner overlooked in some
manner and when the housekeeper
Miss Kishbaugh. went to ascertain the
source of the sitting smoke, she found
the room ablaZe.
With rare presence of mind she closed
the iron doors and sent one of the
tenants to ring in the alarm.
The department responded in quick
time and the firemen soon had the fire
under control.
The entire house was filled with suf-
locating fumes from the burning oil
and some of the inmates rushed about
fraMically, regardless of their airy at
tire.
Patrolman Mcintosh assisted in calm
ing the most eXcitable of the young
women and kept the crowd back while
the firemen were at work in the base
ment
The building is owned by Prof. T. T..
Pierce, former instructor in the normal
school, and is situated in a fashionable
apartment house district where a fire
once started would result in great loss.
Chief Lips in turning a corner driv-
ing to the fire had a narrow escape
from collision with an engine.

LEAVE THEIR
BABIES BEHIND
PARENTS ARE SAID TO HAVE
DESERTED CHILDREN
F, G. Berry Appeals to the Sheriff's
Office for Assistance in Find.
ing His Son and Daughter
insLaW

f. G. Berry of 922 Stephenson avenue
has called on the sheriff's office to
assist him in preventing his son Alex
ander and the latter's wife from de-
serting their 3-year-old daughter and
2-year-old son. Every effort is being
made by the father to locate his son.
His wife telegraphed from Bakersfield
that she had trailed the couple that
far but no further trace of them could
be found.
The younger Berry and his wife left
the city suddenly last Monday. Berry S
actions aroused suspicion and led to an
investigation by the members of his
family. When they found that he had
left the city they at once decided that
one of their number should follow him.
Mrs. Berry, ST., is the woman who is
following her son and daughter. Until
she found that it would be practically
impossible for her to locate them the
family had decided to keep the matter
from the authorities. Once satisfied
that they would have to call the law to
their aid the Berrys took immediate
steps to notify the police, and were re-
ferred to the sheriff
Mrs. Berry found that her son had
gone to Bakersfield, and she made up
her mind to follow him. Arriving in
that city she began the search. Late
yesterday afternoon she found that he
had left. but where he had gone she
could not learn.
1t was learned last evening that the
younger Berry has been residing in
Monrovia. Recently he and his wife
came to Los Angeles and spent some
time with the husbands parents.
The sudden departure of the couple
from the city is explained by the elder
Berry on the ground that his son does
not wish to support his children. He
believes that he will not return to Los
Angeles and care for the children UNI
less compelled to do so.
1t is understood that Mrs. Berry, the
elder, will return to Los Angeles from
Bakersfield today.

Off FOR OWENS
RIVER VALLEY
CITY OFFICIALS START ON
TRIP
Will Be Met at Independen by
Fred Eaton and Escorted to
the HeadWaters at
Bishop

Yesterday the board of public works,
mePbers of the water commission and
Mayor McAeer began their delayed trip
to the owens river valley. The party,
composed of Mayor McAleer, Water
Commissioners Sherman Baker and
Mead, Superintendent Mulholland, j. A.
Anderson, president of the board of
public works, and f.. b. Cook, a
draughtsman who will make maps of
the conduit line, left the office of the
water department on Hill street at 8
o'clock in the morning. They made the
trip to Mojave in automobiles in order
to traverse the conduit line from this
city to the desert town. The party ar
rived in Mojave last evening and was
met there by d. X Edwards and A. A.
Hubbard, members of the board of
public works, who left on the Owl last
evening.
From Mojave the entire party will go
over the desert in automobiles, follow
ing the Tehachapi range of mountains
on which the conduit will be built until
Independence, the county seat of Inyo
county, is reached. There former
Mayor Fred Eaton will meet the
junketers and escort. them to the head
waters of the owens river.
BY Wagon to Bishop
From Independence the party will
have to be conveyed in wagons to
Bishop, which is the ultimate destina-
ton, as the roads are too heavy at this
time of year for motor cars.
Before his departure for the Owens
river valley last week Fred Eaton de-
clared that there was something for
the board of public works to do as soon
as Independence could be reached.
and the sooner the board gets there
the better it will be for the city's in
terests,' was Mr.. Eaton's warning.
Eaton is emphatic in his statements
that nothing that has been done so far
by enemies of the citys interests at
home and abroad could in any way
jeopardize the Owens river plan, but he
admitted there was one way in which
it could be done and he was anxious
to have the board take decisive steps
to prevent it.

REALTY DEALER IN TROUBLE
Warrant Issued for the Arrest of
Frank Rockwell on Charge
of Serious Nature

A complaint, alleging a statutory
crime, was issued yesterday by Deputy
District Attorney Mccartney against
Frank Rockwell, well known real es-
tate man of Los Angeles, and the war;
rant of arrest was given to a deputy
sheriff.
Rockwell lives on Central avenue
near Vernon, and the alleged crime is
supposed to have been committed in
that neighborhood. An S-year-old
school girl will be the complaining wit
ness.
When the case comes to trial accord
ing to the statements of Attorney Nc
Cartney, he will produce evidence to
show that Rockwell became involved in
an unsavory proceeding several weeks
ago, when he was alleged to have at
tempted to embrace a young woman.

an occasional tumble marred the
symmetry of the circle.
The roar of the myriad of metal
wheels rolling along the polished floor
resembled nothing so much as cas-
cade, and from the minute the door
opened until the hour for closing the
sound was never for an instant hushed.
Many Turned Away
Besides the large number of persons
who succeeded in getting tickets be-
fore the opening, probably 1000 were
turned away owing to the lack of room.
Courteous little boys assisted the wo-
men in putting on their skates, and
considering the magnitude of the af-
fair, it was admirably we'll managed.
During lull in the skating, Harley
Davidson, who is said to be the most
expert man in America on roller skates,
gave an exhibition that was little
short of marvellous. He spun about
deXtrously and aroused the envy of
the novices who found 1t difficult
merely to keep their feet from flying
ceilingwards.
From the success of the opening
night it would seem that the old sport
of roller skating, the revival of which
has been attended by great enthusiasm
in the east, is going to prove equally
successful in Los Angeles.
"Dreamland" was built by the Los
Angeles Amusement company, of which
Charles N. Treat is president. A. M.
Edelman was the architect who de-
signed the rink.

The interior of the rink was
decorated with palms, Japanese Ian

In the center of the auditorium was
an orchestra which played during the

The opening was distinctly a society
event, many of the most prominent peo-
pie of the city being present. Upon the

permit of a more finished perform
ance on first nights. The present

SEES A GREAT FUTURE
FOR LOS ANGELES

f. d. Underwood, president of the
Erie railroad. who a present is visiting
ina Southern California, is lavish in his
praise of Los Angeles. He declares it
has a grtater future than any other
city in the world.
81 always have believed and always
will, that Los Angeles is destined to
become one of the largest cities in the
world" he said yesterday. There is
no question that il is the commercial
center of the southwestern part of the
United States now. 1t has attained that
distinction by tremendous leaps within
the last few years and the future of
Los Angeles has been we'll assured.
1.-THE population of Los Angeles has
increased so rapidly in the last few
years that I have not the slightest
doubt that within a quarter of a CELL
fury it will have passed the million
mark. ] consider that to be a decidedly
conservative estimate.
Predicts Greater Los Angeles
"In my opinion there is no question
that at the end of that time or even
before, the city will have annexed all
of the surrounding cities and extend
from the mountains to the sea. l have
travelled all about here and the cond-
lions surrounding Los Angeles - the
rapid building up of the outlying dis
tricts-furnish sufficient evidence for
me upon which to base such state
ments."
Mr. Underwood was at the Hotel
Alexandria yesterday and in the even
ing he entertained n number of his
friends and business associates at din
ner His guests We're: John D. Nc
MILAN, John l.. Mcmillan, Captain
Copeland, Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. HiXon,
Mrs. Sawyer, Mrs. II. l.. Colman and
Mrs. r. r. Rocks.
At present Mr.. Underwood and his
family are living in Pasadena, their
winter home. Each year Mr.. Under
wood visits Southern California. He
will remain here several weeks, after
which he will return to his home in

| sister in the French colony on AlisC
i street. In her complaint she alleges
that BallerinO, the former crib king
had promised to marry her.
Says BaIIerino Deceived Her
! She further alleged that she acted
as his hOusekeeper for several years
and that he had promised to will all his
property, about $5O0,O0O besides mar
rying her as soon as certain conditions
permitted. She testified yesterday that
Ballerino had deceived her all along
and that instead of being in position
to marry her, he was married man
and never had secured a divorce from
his wife
Miss Uhalt further testified that be-
cause of her acquaintance with the
king of the cribs she had ruined her
reputation so that she could not longer
obtain employment. and that she had
spoiled the best years of her life and
lost all chance of any respectable man
marrying her.
She produced a document in which
Ballerino had willed her his property,
but the will had been declared void by
the old man when the suit for breach
of promise was brought against him.
No further evidence was produced by
the prosecution and then Ballerino was
asked to make a statement.
II met this girl at her sister S
restaurant on AliSiO street about three
years ago." he said.
"She seemed to be a nice girl and

NEW ANECD0TE TOLD ABOUT
LILLIAN BURKHART
Also a Chapter Concerning the Ger
man Nurse Who Had Never Met
the Husband Of Clever
Actress
BY Bessie Beatty

This is Lillian Burkhart's story and
it Is true.
She told ii last night in her dressing
room at the Orpheum. About her frau
lein she spoke, and before she had fin
ished talking all who heard realized
what a very narrow escape the reputa-
ton of the charming actress has had
at the hands of the conscientious Ger
man.
1t may sound just little bit naughty
in print but 1t did not sound at all
that when Lillian Burkhart told it, SO
am going to be daring and repeat.
When she engaged her fraulein nurse
for little Rosalie Faith, the beautiful
little 10 months old daughter who is by
far the most important parsonage in
Miss Burkhart's company, she eX-
planned thus to fraulein:
81 am to be known on the stage as
Lillian Burkhart but in private life
/ am Mrs. George Goldsmith. You will
remember fraulein?"
ia, ia" replied frauein.
"Fraulein said nothing more at that
time but later developments show that
she thought a great deal" continued
Miss Rurkhart,
Nurse PerpIexed
"She must have spent many weary
hours trying to satisfy herself as to
how | could be Mrs. Goldsmith She
had never seen any Mr.. Goldsmith and
she remembered all the stories she
had ever heard about actresses.
she began to wonder if l was
proper person to stay with and she
finally decided to write back to Berlin
and ask her old aunt what she should
do. The letter went way to Berlin and
all the time fraulein nursed the little
baby and became more fond of her.
The lady / am working for says
her stage name is Lillian Burkhart and
her married name is Mrs. Goldsmith,
but have not seen any Mr. Goldsmith.
These actresses runs after the mems,
they say. What shall L do? Write
quick
The aunt obeyed the command and
wrote quick.
THAT was five months ago. When
fraulein arrived in San Francisco with
me she found the answer. Her good
aunt wrote: DO your duty whatever
1t is. There may not be a Mr.. Gold
smith, but the child is not to blame. Be
kind to the child whatever you do
"In San Francisco fraulein showed
me the letter and told me all about it.
When we arrived in Los Angeles she
met Mr.. Goldsmith and I really believe
she was as glad to see him as was.
Real German Baby
my fraulein is a very fine nurse
and she is making a little German
girl out of my baby" continued Mrs
Goldsmith, alias Lillian Burkhart.

German words and I will have to
