Ruskin Art Club

wood Engravings of the Fifteenth
Century" furnished an interesting topic
for the regular meeting of the Ruskin Art
club yesterday morning. Miss nj. a.
Donovan was in charge of the program.
Mrs w. j. Sanders discussed relief
wood cutting. especially figures with ex-
planatory text in the same block, and
instanced the Poor Preachers Bible, the
Mirror of Human Salvation" The period
when entire pages of text were engraved
without figures, ending in printing with
movable type, was treated by Mrs. S. ID.
Moore, and the work of Gutenberg at
Strasburg, Faust and Scheffer at Mainz
and Pfister at Bamberg was noted.
That part of the program treating of
wood cuts from drawings by Durer,
Cranach and Burgmaier was in the hands
OF Mrs W. ]. Chambers, and Miss Wad-
leigh closed the morning with brief
talk on the Little Masters and Holbein.
Hector Alliot is announced to lecture
next Wednesday morning and club mem
bers are requested to bring prints made
from wood cuts for exhibition and dis
cussion.

HOlNESEEKERS ARE
CROWDLNG IN
GREATEST coLoNIsT RUSH EVER
EXPERIENCED is ON
Thousands of Letters of Inquiry from
All Quarters-SouthWest
Portion of City VIII Be
Most Popular

The coming winter will see the great
est rush of tourists, colonists and home-
seekers to Southern California that this
section has ever experienced. This Is
the opinion OF agents OF the railroads
and men who have for years been keep
ing close watch on the number of home
seekers who journey westward.
Already thousands of letters making
INQUIRIES of conditions here, the price of
ranch and grazing lands, living expenses
and house rents have been received,
while each mail brings hundreds of let
ters to the local land office inquiring
about the land open to settlement here.
Judging from these letters 1t Is proba-
BILE that the population of Los Angeles
will be vastly increased before another
spring sets in, as many of the writer's
have expressed themselves as wishing
to make their homes in this city
The railroads in the east some time
ago published the rates for the winter
over their lines and the majority of the
homeseekers and tourists take advantage
of these With this fact in mind the SUI
perintendents of the roads have made
careful calculations and the result Is
that in a number of instances additional
trains will be put on for the purpose OF
carrying passengers westward.
traffic is noticeable at the depots. Large
piles of baggage crowd the baggage
rooms Additional men have been en-
gagged and the employees In charge of
that department at the depots say they
do not intend to allow the baggage to
get the best of them, as it did for several
days year ago
Real estate men in the city are pre-
pairing to welcome prospective purchas-
ers and their agents may be met In any
section of the city, listing property at
almost any hour of the day.
The demand for residence property by
those who have already arrived and are
seeking homes leads to the belief that
the southwestern portion of the city will
be the most popular That district has
been developing rapidly for several
years, but recently there has been even
more building going on there than be-
fore. Small cottags are continually
springing up and the well-laid lawns,
finely-paved streets and picturesque sur
roundings readily attract the eye.
According to one well-known dealer
the demand for four-room cottages is
even greater this year than in previous
years and many property owners are
taking advantage of this fact. Many
small homes have been built during the
past few years, but the more rapidly
they are erected the greater becomes the
demand for thm.

their hearts content.

He demanded that the door be opened.

Then, with his heart full of rage at this

huge Mexican oaths and dire threats.
Then came heavy blows and stingf1g

his eyes. for Alberto was holding the sash
down with one hand and with a table

NO GUILTY VERDlCTS;
PROSECUTION WORRIED
APPARENTLY PLAIN CASES RE-
SUIT IN AcoulTTALs
Mexican Alleged by Prosecution to
Have Been Caught in Act of
Burglary Held Not
Guilty

Deputy district attorneys are worried
over the repeated failures of juries in
Judge Smiths department of the SUI
perior court to render verdicts of guilty.
In the case of a Mexican named Garcia,
accused of larceny, the jury on Septem-
Der 20 returned verdict of not guilty
when the prosecuting attorney thought
he had an almost clear case against the
accused man. Then in the case of Ed
Frune, charged with mayhem, the jury
failed to convict and the prosecuting
attorneys were in dismay.
Monday the jury failed to agree in
the case against Claude Mcbride,
charged with attempt to burglarize the
shooting gallery of w. Gillian.
Yesterday Deputy District Attorney
Frank Blair thought he had things set
tied in the case against Ramon Aguilar,
charged with attempt to burglarize the
house of Mrs q. l.. Gulledge at Prospect
Park Mrs. Gulledge was alone, her
husband being away on business. The
prosecution alleged Aguilar ard another
man entered the yard and approached a
window in the house. Mrs. Gulledge
heard one of the men remark to the
other, 'She is all alone, her husband
is away"
This gave her such freight she went
Immediately to the telephone and asked
neighbor for help. Her friend replied
that she was alone, too and was afraid
to come out. Then the men began to
try the window and finally broke the
glass. What their intention was is not
known, but 1t is supposed they wanted
to burglarize the place.
Mrs. Gulledge began to scream for
help. Her neighbor next door heard
and telephoned a man not far away,
asking him to see what was the matter.
The man took his shotgun and went up
to the window where the men were
trying to enter. The night was so dark
he could not see anyone until he was
within six feet of Aguilar. He did not
see the companion, who must have es-
capped in the dark. Aguilar turned and
was about to run when the man with
the gun struck the fugitive back of the
head with the muzzle of the firing piece.
Aguilar was so stunned by the blow
that he ran a short distance and fell in
a pile of tin cans and old cooking uten-
sils, where he kicked about, raising a
terrible racket among the pile of old
tinware. This noise aroused the dogs
of the neighborhood anG these COM
menced to bark furiously. All the women
in the neighborhood had already begun
to scream and the confusion of sounds
was deafening. Report reached the po-
lice station that the neighborhood was
besieged by burglars and people could
not leave their houses. Finally the pa
troll wagon arrived and took the dazed
Mexican into custody.
The case was argued in Judge Smiths
court yesterday afternoon. The jury
after staying out over two hours came
in with a verdict of not guilty.
