Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market RsDortS
Bradstreet's saws:

DiauStittt says.
Trade, crop and Industrial develop
ments OF the week are mainly favor
able. The first of the fall merchants
excursions are reported in leading
cities, thereby enlarging sales by job
Ders and wholesalers. Industrial re.
ports are generally of increased tima
run and enlarged output, and the
leading crops have approached a
week nearer harvest. There are,
however, some features accompany
ing these developments deserving of
note. There are statements from
quite a few markets that early fall
buying is hardly up to expectations
and that caution and conservatism
govern buyers actions.
In the industrials there Is per-
ceptibly more doing in iron and steel,
hardware manufacturing, Western
coal mining and the lumber trade
generally The railroads are certain
ly buying more of rails, cars and
also light supplies. The building
trade evidently turned the corner in
July, but reports of curtailment in
output of certain lines of cotton
goods are still prominent.
Wheat, including flour exports
from the United States and Canada
for the week, aggregated 3,696,34s
bushels, against 2,605,99S last weel
and 3,272,993 this week last year
For the six weeks ending August c
this year the exports are 15,1O4,79I
bushels, against 1888, 200 in the
corresponding period last year. Corn
exports for the week are 114,622
bushels, against 1923 last week
and 1,1O7,621 In 1907. For the six
weeks ending August the corn ex-
ports are 340,7S9 bushels, against
9,272,2S2 in the same period last
year.

SENSATION OF
1907 RECALLED
DIVORCE SUIT REVIVES STORY
OF WIFE'S DESERTI0N
CHAUFFEUR WITH WHOM SHE
ELoPED IS DEAD
Court Insists on Testimony from De-
PENDANTS Mother, in Order to
Secure More Evidence
About Case

A sensation which occurred about
two years ago was recalled in the SUI
perior court yesterday when George
r. Cummings, wealthy capitalist and
formerly owner of a South Spring
street confectionery store, resumed his
testimony, began q week ago, in his
suit for divorce against Jemima c.
Cummings.
Cummings charges his wife with de-
sertion and says she left their home,
at 1910 Alvarado street, June s, 1907,
when, he claims, she ran away with
j. T. Batchelder, a chauffeur in his
employ; and, after a short visit to
Long Beach, went to San Bernardino,
where she remained a month.
When Judge Conrey learned week
ago that two former actions for di-
vorce had been instituted. he demanded
the papers and ordered subpoenas TO
be issued for the appearance of Mrs.
Cummings and her mother, Mrs. En-
ma Eckels. These subpoenas were not
served the process server reporting
the door of the Ecklels home was
closed against him early in the week
and he could get no response to re-
peated rings at the door bell.
Mrs Cummings, however, was in
court yesterday. Her mother she said
was unable, because of nervous col
lapse. to appear.
With the two complaints filed in for
mer divorce suits in his hands, Judge
Conrey was able to gain a better
knowledge of the domestic differences
of the couple, which date back more
than three years. One of these COM
plants was filed by Cummings two
days after Mrs. Cummings left home
in June, 1906, but the action was
dismissed a few weeks later when a
reconciliation took place.
Then, according to Cummings his
wife went east while he was at Lake
Tahoe with his daughter, and they
have not since lived together.
month after her departure Mrs
Cummings, through court proceedings
in Denver, secured the custody of the
child, Cummings making no contest

MAYORS HEARING
AGAIN DEFERRED
QUESTION OF DELAYS BEING
PROPER is INVOLVED
COURT WISHES NOTARY TO Ex-
PLAIN CoNTINUANcEs
Judge Monroe Reiterates Purpose Not
to Order Harper to Depose Before
Reporters, but Admits Its
Legality

Owing to uncertainty over a ques-
ton whether the proceedings connect
ed with taking the dispositions of Mayor
Harper, to be used in the latter's two
libel suits against the Express, had
lapsed because of the intervening court
proceedings, Judge Monroe yesterday
continued until Wednesday evening at
1880 o'clock the hearing of the order
to show cause why the mayor should
not give his deposition before a notary.
In the meantime Arthur d. Bagley.
notary will be summoned to explain
whether the continuances have been
legal and attorneys on. both sides Will
argue whether formal continuance
from day to day is necessary in no.
tarial proceedings.
Attorney H. H. Appel of the mayors
counsel consumed the entire forenoon
yesterday with an argument to prove
his client should not be called to give
his deposition in this case, claiming
1t would be used by the defendants in
an unfair manner and would bene1t
them in the trial of the two libel ac-
tons.
Judge Monroe again stated he was
opposed to any publication of state
ments made at the time dispositions
are taken.
Il want to make it clear however"
he said, ut is perfectly legal to have
all the reporters in the country present
and to have the dispositions taken, but
l won't make an order for the deposit
ton unless the condition of exclusion
is stipulated. Otherwise possible jurors
will be informed of the evidence in the
case before it comes to the courts"
Judge Monroe stated he was certain
the deposition could be taken, but the
formal order will not be made until
the uncertainty about the continuances
before Notary Bagley is decided.

CAUSES ARREST OF
ALLEGED SWINDLER
WOMAN SAYS SHE INVESTED
IN WORTHLESS COMPANY
Promoter Pleads Guilty to Obtaining
$500 from Mrs. |. w. Stone by
False Pretenses and Asks
Probation

Jesse E. Wooley pleaded guilty in the
superior court yesterday to the charge
of obtaining $500 under false pretenses
from Mrs. Ida NJ Stone of the New
Angus hotel in October, 1907, and
asked for a probationary sentence.
Wooley, according to Mrs. Stone, rep
resented himself as the secretary of the
Goldfleld- Richmond Mining and De-
velopment company and offered her
shares in the concern at 2 cents each,
saying the price would be advanced In
few days.
She invested $3.50. Later he told her
the shares had advanced in price to ~
cents, but offered more stock at the
price which she had previously paid
She invested another $780,
Then she learned the company was
not incorporated in Arizona as repre-
scented and demanded her money
Wooley she says, gave her check fol-
the amount, but she learned there were
no funds in the bank to meet payment
and Wooley's arrest followed.
The case was continued until Wednes-
day. Wooley says he acted in good
faith, and on instructions from S. C
Hammond, named in the alleged In
corporation articles as president of the
mining concern.

Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together, No Matter
How a Woman May Try
to Make Them

1t does not matter how beautiful a
woman may be- if she is afflicted with
bad breath she will be Stunned and
pitied by men and even women will
studiously avoid her.
If any woman doubts this statement
let her make a pointsof asking a friend
in whom she may confide, man friend
or relative. Ii he be honest he will tell
her that foul breath from the mouth of
woman will drive men from her more
rapidly than any other personal af-
Fiction.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of elf-denial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural repug-
nance which comes to man when he is
in company with such woman
What is true of bad breath in woman
is not true in so great degree in men.
Women are looked upon as the incar-
nation of sweetness, breeding, virtue
and refinement Foul breath will sick
en- a man so that he cannot feel for
such a woman companionship neces-
sary to make him desire to be in her
company.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or women.
Charcoal, the strongest absorbent
known, when taken into the stomach,
will prevent this repugnant tendency
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are sold
in tremendous quantities all over
America and Canada. They cure and
have cured all forms of bad breath. A
single box will convince you of this
fact. One should eat some of these
lozenges after each meal and upon re-
firing. You might eat fifty of them
without harm. They are not medicine,
but pure willow charcoal mixed with
sweet honey to make them palatable
and compressed into a lozenge to pre-
serve their peculiar and lasting
strength.
The next time you wish to go into
company and don't want your foul
breath to humiliate you, eat several Of
Stuart's Charcoal fl4ozenges and your
breath will be pure and sweet
Every druggist carries them, price 20
cents, or send us your name and adj
dress and we will send you trial

BALLOONS PUT
IN GOOD TRIM
AERIAL CRAFT TO BEAR MES
SAGE TO NEXT PRESIDENT
MAYOR WILL SEND. MESSAGE TO
TAFT AND SHERMAN
American and United States VIII
Garry Expression of Good Will
from Los Angeles to suc-
cessfuI Candidates

The balloons which will be started
from Los Angeles next Sunday after
noon In attempt to make several new
aerial records and initiate the first
real transcontinental race in this coun-
try are already famous for what they
have accomplished The United States
is the balloon with which Lieutenant
Lahm won the James Gordon Bennett
cup in the memorable journey across
the English channel The American
took part in the great contest from
St. Louis and sailed to WESTMINSTER N.
Y, 739 miles, last July.
Both have been overhauled at Chutes
park, where the ascent will be made,
and are being put into better shape
than Is customary in order to WITH
stand the journey across desert ana
mountain The American is in the
open partly inflated with air, while
the United States is inside one of the
buildings receiving its final coat of
varnish. They will be taken to the
park ball grounds early this week
and the huge envelopes will be filled
with hydrogen gas specially manufac-
tured.
The aeronauts will carry from Mayor
A. c. Harper a message to President
elect William H. Taft and his mate
on the ticket, James S. Sherman, con-
graduating them on their success
Both the aeronauts and Dick Ferris,
owner of the balloons, believe that they
will come near enough to Mr.. Tart s
home to make a personal delivery.
If any mishap should prevent, me me
bearer will put the message on the
telegraph wires at the first station
reached after landing.
In his message Mayor Harper refers
to the Los Angeles Prosperity Week.
and assures the newly elected heads or
the nation that Southern California is
energetic for a prosperous future, re-
CARELESS of party differences hereto
fore.
Twill the Ferris balloons get across
the desert, and if they do will they
hang up on the Rocky mountains?" is
q question asked iof the aeronauts by
nearly every person who visits Chutes
park. They are confident that the jour
ney will be successful at least as far
as the Mississippi river and hope to
go farther Ordinary coal gas would
not take the balloons high enough to
go over the Rocky mountain range, and
for that reason hydrogen gas Will
be manufactured.
Professors Zerbe and Lowe assert
that the steady air current which pre-
walls from the coast to the mountains
is DETECTED upwards so that it will
carry the balloons over the San Bern
ardino range without throwing out bal
last, every ounce of which is precious
on so long a trip. Pilots Mueller and
Wild hope to reach the Rockies with
out getting rid of any ballast, so that
they may utilize that resource upon
reaching the highest range.
In addition to Wild and Mueller two
newspaper men will be carried to re-
port the trip. They will be chosen as
much for their nerve and consequent
ability to make the trip as for their
newspaper ability.
