NEW Department STORE
TO OPEN MARCH FIRST
BUYERS ARE PURCHASING GOODS
IN THE EAST
Central Store on Broadway, Between
Sixth and Seventh Streets, Will
Have One of the Biggest Stocks to
Be Found In the City

Plans for the opening of the hand
some new Central department store,
which will be located on Broadway
between Sixth and Seventh streets, are
rapidly taking shape, and the new
emporium will probably open it's doors
with grand opening March 1. Buyers
have been purchasing stock in the east
during the past few months and when
the store opens it will be with line
of goods second to none in the city.
c. Coultard Priddy, one of the largest
department managers and a member
of the firm left December 20 to pur-
chase goods for the department of
which he is the head. He expects to
return about February 6.
Mr. Priddy is one of the oldest de-
partment managers in the city, hav-
ing been connected with one down
town firm for over sixteen years. When
he left this concern the firm honored
him with dinner and the employees
in one of the departments presented
him with a magnificent leather up
holstered easy chair. The employees
OF the art department gave their de-
parting manager a handsome CENTER
piece of art needle work. the finest
ever seen in Los Angeles This will
be on display in Mr.. Priddy's depart
ment at the Central department store.
MT. friuuy departure from MS ola
concern was marked by the good
wishes of both employers and subor-
dinates. Indeed, his long association
with the salespeople led them to call
him dad" Their affection was re-
ciprocated by the manager, who said
that his departure was like leaving
home.
Among business and travelling men
of the city Mr.. Priddy Is considered
a man of sterling qualities, as we'll as
a shrewd business man. His friends
are confident that he will add not a
little to the success OF the new store.
While his former friends and GUS
toners will miss his smiling face in
the haunts where once 1t was known,
still the same old smile that won't
come off will be on tap at his new
stand.
The other managers who will strive
to combine quantity and quality for
the buying public are Messrs Mel
Murphy, who will manage the entire
second floor; Ellis. Gugenheim. Pit
kins, CANISTER, Lipman, Cutter Gilbert
and Kirkwood.

this world. The five men who signed
the statements are held up as honest,
God-fearing men, while The Herald re-
porter-despite the fact that he did not

fraud and a fake at the meeting-is q

Has Pencil Concealed
Mrs. Johnson, the night of the in-
vestigation, appeared in Howe'S office
at 142 South Broadway. A slate was
given her which she held in her hands
and an overcoat was then thrown over
1t. Daetweiler held her hands, while
Wise held Daetweiler's. They sat
quietly for about five minutes when the
lights in the room suddenly went out,
and for a few minutes confusion
reigned. Mrs. Johnson was then given
a chance to loosen her hands sufficient
to make three microscopic marks on
the slate with a small piece of pencil
she held beneath her thumb nail, and
the slate was exhibited few minutes
later.
The following day The Herald pub
lished a true account of the affair. The
reporter who was present had gained
admittance under the name of B.
Forbes. He was introduced as a Pasa-
dena tailor, as the spiritualists had
openly stated that no Herald represen :
tative would ever be admitted to one of
their meetings. Fearing the fierce
white light of publicity and truth, they
hesitate to even speak with reporter
on the street.
At the close of the so-called investiga-
tion Imeson approached the reporter
and asked his opinion of the test.
why. 1t was a fake, pure and
simple" said the reporter, and Imeson
departed with look of anger.
Since the opening of The Herald s
crusade against the takers frequent re-
quests have been made by this paper to
the so-called spiritualists to come out
in the open and give any test which
could not be proven a fake. Not one of
them has agreed to do so, but all have
hid behind all manner of strange ex .
cuses, such as it was probable the
guides would not assist, etc. The
Herald has offered to pay any sum of
money to any one of them who would
give test slate writing which could
not be proven fraud and yet in spite
of their hunger for cash the takers have
refused to take up the challenge,
The Occidental Mystic claims to be
the official organ of the California State
Spirituallsts' association. yet the editor
of the publication is apparently a friend
of the prince of fakers. Howe went to
the police court yesterday, surrounded
by dozen OF his followers, to lend his
moral support to the coster seer who
appeared to plead not guilty to a charge
OF violating the city laws.
The questions arise: In the eyes of
the Spiritualtists' association is there
such thing as fraud? If there is
does the association countenance and
approve of frauds? If it does not where
does the organization place Mazzlni?

What It Will Be

AS there are only $4,000 shares of stock all
told, the profits per share will be substan-
tial A few shares will net very handsome
revenue. The rapid sale of previous allot-
ments shows how quickly the public re-
spends to an opportunity to invest in an
industry in preference to doubtful specu-
lation. With the natural demand for high
grade pressed brick this plant will pay big
profits from the start. In one year from
date of it's installation it will have estab-
lished itself as one of the best and most re-
liable money-making institutions on the
southern coast.

What 1t Is Now

We have the formula for the manufacture
of the best and handsomest pressed brick
ever made. We can make it for one-third
the cost of the ordinary brick, or 81 thou-
sand. We have samples of it at our offices
and invite the most rigid examination by
architects, builders, contractors and all in
tending purchasers Of stock We have Sc
cured the lands containing the deposit, Sc
lected factory site and ordered the machin-
cry. The directory is composed of able and
experienced men. There is positively no

AERONAUT |NVENTs
NEW WAVE MOTOR
IS CONTROLLED BY OCEANS
EBB AND FLOW J
Differs in Principle from Every SINH
lar Observation-Disclosures
Beach viii Be Lighted
by Its Power

A. l.. Reynolds, the inventor of the
many successful flights over Los An
geles has, with his brother, George
Reynolds, perfected an invention that
promises to be even more successful
and practical than the airship. This
is wave motor differing, not only
in design and construction but in prin-
ciple from every other similar inVen-
tion on the market.
Other wave motors draw their power
from the rise and fall of the rolling
waves. The motor invented by the
Reynolds brothers is controlled by the
flow and ebb of the waves. A patent
has been applied for and Huntington
Beach will be lighted by the new in
vention as soon as the preliminary
work can be arranged.
I'VE expect to install a small plant
that we can put into practical use for
lighting and heating some of the
houses and also lighting some of the
streets of Huntington Beach, and then
add to the system as rapidly as possi-
ble," said A. l.. Reynolds yesterday.
1--WE aim to reduce the cost of light,
heat and power to a point where coal,
wood, oil, gasoline and peat fuel will
no longer be a necessity, and the
and inexhaustible as the ocean itself
"Our motor differs from all others in
every single particular and before we
applied for our patent we made thor
ough search of the patent office rec
ords and found that nearly all wave
motor inventors had started from the
float principle, and depended on the
rise and fall of the waves for their mo-
tion.
"Our motor has no float attachment,
and takes it's motion from the ebb and
flow of the waves-or, in other words,
the In and out motion of the water.
EVERY wave that rolls in must roll
back again, otherwise the water would
pile up on shore. and 1t is this in and
out motion of the water that operates
our motor.
Built on Unit Principle
"It is bull. on the unit system and
every unit in system works separate
ly and independently of all the other
units, so there is no chance of the sys-
tenn getting out of working order by
the breaking or weaing out of any of
It's parts. One or a dozen units in a
system might be broken or discon-
nected for repairs, and not interfere
with the working of the rest of the
system, and would only reduce the
power to the extent of those units so
disconnected.
Another impotant feature of our
motor is the fact that a violent wave
exerts no greater strain upon it than
moderate one. as II works on the
principle OF a weathervane and only
receives such force as is transmitted
to the machinery, and therefore the
liability to breaking is reduced to a
minimum This point practically does
away with the liability of breakage by
heavy seas and violent waves, which
have proved the undoing of all former

THE highest authorities obtainable
on wave action and mechanical con-
struction have placed the stamp of
approval upon our invention, and all
that can be done in a safe, conserva-
tive way is being done toward the
preliminary arrangements for the real
work of construction.
LAS every building or structure must
be put upon paper before it is put

can begin. This requires a great deal

as they could compass, SO that ignoble
squabbles and foolish plots make up
the history Of their days.
Tom Porter was 81 a family which
had zeal0usIy served the king. Under
the new government his occupation was
gone, and he descended to a triviaIity
