Laughter is not SO much an index 70

Much Larger Quarters

Announcement is made by Kupeliall

seek larger quarters, and in conse-
quence have taken a lease on the
store room at 314 South Broadway.
Ell Shah-Sorai was established in the

outgrown it's quarters indicates the
degree of success which has attended
the enterprise of the management.
Kupelian Brothers say their ambition
is almost realized, which is to give the
rug-buying public of Los Angeles a

store, where everybody is absolutely
sure of getting fair treatment and of
being able to select from a magnificent

ACCEPT THEORY
OF DESP0NDENCY
1T Is BELIVED YOUNG LAWYER
FEARED CONSUMPTION
Father of Charles Whitney Ward, Who
Shot Himself, Expected to Arrive
Tonight and Will Take
Remains East

The father of Charles Whitney Ward,
the young Boston lawyer who shot
himself Wednesday morning at Hotel
Trenton, and who died Thursday night,
will probably arrive in Los Angeles
tonight.
Coroner Trout will hold the inquest
tomorrow.
While hurrying to the bedside of his
dying son, the heartbroken father re-
ceived telegram early yesterday
morning telling him that his son had
died and that the hope of seeing him
alive was gone.
According to the dispatches from
Boston, Mrs. Ward had not thought of
a legal separation from her husband
and that it was known among young
Wards friends that he had come to
California on account of threatened
consumption.
If there is any other secret regarding
the motive for Wards shooting himself
it probably will never come to light.
r. C, Gype, roommate of the unfor-
tunate young lawyer, said that he saw
Ward deliberately shoot himself. He
has given no information of the reasons
for the suicide other than on the morn
ing of the shooting, when he told the
reporters that he thought Ward had
domestic troubles. A letter which
Ward had written but not mailed to
his wife was full of endearing terms
and showed that there was the utmost
affection between the young couple,
and the theory of dependency over i'll
health is the accepted one.
After the inquest the father will take
the body of his son back to Boston,
where Ward was highly regarded as
la 1Nver and cl1lbman.
