RAINS PLEASE
The RANCHERS
CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR
MORE DAMPNESS
Alternating Showers and Sunshine
Will Stimulate Natures
Forces to Mans
Profit

Twenty-seven hundredths of an inch
Of rain fell yesterday and Monday and
the prospects are good for more of the
wet joy of the rancher.
The last two months have been ideal
weather for quick and large crops of
grain and especially have the oranges
of Southern California been benefited.
Alternating rain and sunshine have
been the conditions which have caused
the rejoicing out on the farms and
groves of the southern part of the
| state.
| The wea Their bureau has the follow
ing to say in regard to coming
weather: The storm south of Point
Conception has given general rain in
Southern California and Arizona, where
it has turned to snow in the northern
portion and in Western Texas. The
heaviest precipitation occurred in the
coast sections, and while the pressure
is beginning to rise, the conditions con-
tinue favorable for unsettled weather
with rain and clearing weather today
in this vicinity.
The high pressure area, with cold
wave, covers the country from the
Rocky mountain slope to the Atlantic
coast. Temperatures ranging from zero
to 20 degrees below are reported from
Wyoming to Minnesota, zero tempera-
lures from the Ohio valley and West
ern Pennsylvania, and elsewhere the
temperature is considerably colder than
freezing, except in the Gulf and South
Atlantic states.

meeting held last night laid over for
two weeks the application for "A rail
way franchise made by the Pacific &,
Gulf Railway company for right of
way extending from the city limits
south on Otis street TO the outer har-
Dor.
The applica ton was presented by
wellington Clark, Il Los Angeles at
torney, in behalf of the company. Mr..
Clark offered the application as an Or
dinance.
After considering the proposal the
council ordered it laid over for two
weeks.

improve the outer harbor was adopted
by vote of 3 to after much discus
sion by the attorneys of either side
and by prominent citizens of San
Pedro.
The motion to adopt the movement
was made by Councilman Tilton and
seconded by Councilman Martin.
These two men voted in the affirma-
tive, while Councilmen George Peck
and Mahar voted i'll the negative.
The announcement of the balloting
was met with a great demonstration OF
approval and a procession of several
hundred persons was formed, which
headed by a brass band, marched
through the city.
The result of the action has caused
the greatest satisfaction in San Pedro

BLUE-BLOODED BEAN EATERS

Their Plan Was to Get Subscriptions

The police of Newton, suburb of
Boston, are looking anxiously for the
name of Mr.. and Mrs. f. A. Lloyd,
who claim Los Angeles as their home.
Although recent arrivals in the fash

Boston society have their residences,
the Lloyds managed to swindle confid-

and decamped before they could be To-
Gated by the police, it is alleged.
The scheme worked upon the unsus-
pecting blue blooded suburbanites was
to go about with an alleged business

Nearly every business man in New

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA

Bennett Southard's place in the Bur-
hank theater stock company has been
assigned to Joseph NJ DeGrasSe. De-
Grasse is Il Shakespearean actor and
was for many years at the head of his
own company
In keeping with the spirit of his
profession DeGrasse made his debut
into the limelight of Los Angeles with
a dramatic flourish worthy Of Clyde
Fitch. Ill health and several financial
reverses had evidently been dealing
with him for about three long acrs
when he landed in the Angel city and
presented himself to Oliver Morosco
and requested Il job. The actor told
Morosco his name was Joseph Parks
and as bit of charity the Burbank
manager assigned him to the role of
the priest in The Proud Prince"
II was entertaining an angel I'M
awares. Joseph Parks was set apart
by nearly every dramatic critic in Los
Angeles as worthy of high praise. Man-
ager Morosco cornered the actor and
told him that he had seen him before
and then DeGrasse confessed his real
name and said that he was too proud
to use it in his depleted state.
DeGraSse said he adopted the name
of Parks because association had
given it a homelike sound to him.
Hereafter ne will appear at the Bur-
bank under his rightful name, Joseph
DeGrasSe.

DIVIDE TOWN
FOR SCHOOLS
SANTA MONICA GETS A SLICE
OF SAWTELLE
Supervisors Decide, by a Vote Of
Three to One, to Split the
Hustling Soldier
Town

BY a vote of three to one by the
board of county supervisors late yes
terday afternoon it was decided to
divide the town of Sawtelle almost in
two and give all that portion north of
Nevada avenue to the city of Santa
Monica.
The legal battle between the war;
ring factions of the little soldier town
has stunted it's growth materially, ac-
cording to the statements of residents
there, and yesterdays action by the
supervisors virtually robs Sawtelle of
any of it's aspirations to become a
municipality.
The trouble started several months
ago when Sawtelle asked permission TO
hold election for Incorporation
The permission was granted by the
supervisors but when election time
came the incorporation bill was hope
lessy defeated.
1t was stated at that time that those
who wanted the town to be conducted
on a wide OPEN scale preferred 10
have the village under the protection
of the county rather than under local
officers, who could keep constant
watch on it.
When the election for incorporate
was held, one of the chief questions
to be considered was as to whether the
Westgate section Of Sawtelle should
have new school for the accommode-
ton of The many wealthy families
there.
The school proposition was voted
down with the incorporation and since
that time the residents and property
owners of the Westgate section, which
includes 1900 acres, half the area of
Sawtelle, have been holding legar war
fare in an effort to be taken in under
the Santa Monica school district.
The proposed change from one school
district to the other meant the yield
ing of just half the town to the en-
croachments of the boundary line Of
Santa Monica and it was for that
reason that the residents opposed the
measure so strongly.
Yesterday when the petition was
taken before the supervisors they at
first declined to vote upon it but later
decided to vote according to the advice
Of the superintendent of schools.

Birthday Dinner and Musicale

A dinner OF twenty-five covers fol-
lowed by musicale was the affair with
which Fred x. Gunster entertained in
celebration of his twenty-first birthday
anniversary. The home was deliberately
decorated with blossoms, smilaX and
ferns and the table decorations were
especially attra ctive.
At the conclusion of the dinner hour
delightful musical program was
given, among the most interesting be-
ing the vocal solos sung by the host in
a sympathetic tenor voice. Violin num-
bers of Earl Stone We're we'll rendered
and several others contributed to the
evenings enjoyment.

exchange and she promptly denied that
any such persons were working under
her direction.
Mrs. Lloyd made fine impression
upon one family who had spent several
winters in Southern California and she
showed a familiarity with Los Angeles
that delighted all her acquaintance.
In addition to securing several thou
sand dollars in cash, Mrs. Lloyd sue
ceeded in running up large bills at the
stores.
The police at the central police sta
ton do not know the Lloyds, by that
name at least, and suggest that bad
eastern people are attempting to de-
fame the fair name of this city by
claiming that they are Angelenos.
