Moline PIoW Co.
Purchases Monitor
Drill Co. Stock

The Moline Plow company, one of the
largest manufacturers of agricultural
implements in the world, which is rep
resented by the California Moline Plow
company, it's branch houses located at
Stockton and Los Angeles, Cal, has
purchased the stock of the Monitor
Drill company of Minneapolis, Mimi,
and will hereafter run that institution
as a manufacturing branch of the Mo-
line Plow company.
1t is the policy of the Moline Plow
company to make all the goods which
it sells, and in addition to its large
plant at Moline, where plows, corn
planters, cultivators, harrows, ETC., are
made, it owns the Mandt Wagon COM
pany at Stoughton, Wis; the Henney
Buggy company at Freeport, ILL., and
the Freeport Carriage company at
Freeport, Ill, where the high grade
vehicles are manufactured for it's ex-
elusive use.
The acquirement of the Monitor Drill
company gives them complete line of
tools for preparing, seeding and culti-
waiting the earth, and the excellence of
the product turned out by the Monitor
Drill company Will maintain the high
reputation for excellence which the
product of the factories owned by the
Moline Plow company has acquired.
The drill factory will probably be en-
larged and revised, and put in condi-
ton to turn out a very much larger
volume of goods in the very near flu
ture.

City Prosecutor and District Attorney
to Appear Before Grand Jury
Monday and Prosecute
investigation

Another busy day was added to Pros
ecuting Attorney Woolwine's calendar
yesterday. He spent the day when not
interrupted by visitors who came TO
assure him of their support in working
on evidence to submit to the grand
jury. Otherwise the day was a quiet
one in the graft investigation.
Mr.. Woolwine has received assur-
ances of sympathetic interest in his
stand from residents of all sections OF
the city. Among those who have ex-
pressed their desire to aid him If pos
sible are a number of officers of I'M
provement associations, and in an i'm
provement club meeting to be held
oxt week the question of passing res
olutions Of encouragement will be con-
sidered.
The Voters league has formally in
dorsed Mr. WoolWine's work. and its
executive committee has pledged the
organizations support in the following
resolution:
"Resolved, That this executive COM
mittee on behalf of the league hereby
expresses it's entire sympathy with the
efforts of the city prosecuting attorney,
Mr., Woolwine, to enforce the law
against certain existing evils. And we
pledge him our hearty support"
The grand jury will not meet again
until Mondav morning, when it was
said at the court house yesterday both
Fredericks and Woolwine are likely to
be called before that body together,
and that a statement that Woolwine
will be reinvested with authority to
pursue graft will follow.
The grand jury went through the
city Jail and receiving hospital yester-
day, Little comment was made by the
members except to the effect that the
location of an emergency hospital in a
place so inadequate and unsuitable to
its work as at of Los Angeles is sit
uated is not a matter for city pride.

CHORUS GIRL CLIMBS
THROUGH WINDOW TO
GET HER COSTUMES
When Her Friend Refused to Give Up
Trunks Miss Fisher Takes
Law Into Her Own
Hands

Can a chorus girl appear to advan-
tage on the stage without becoming
costumes? Certainly not! Miss Erna
Fisher of Fischer's theater needed her
clothes and got them by climbing
through the window of the room which
she had left after an alteration with
her friend, Mary Schmidt.
Mrs. Schmidt rooms at the home OF
Mrs. ]. K. Clark, 10S North Boyle ave-
nue.. ST met Miss Fisher at the the

and live with me. OF course, wanted
some money. She came and 1 loaned
her $40 with which to get clothes and
pay a bill. Then she said she was go
ing away. She paid me the $40, but l
wanted $5 for rent, and kept her
trunks"
Miss Fisher left the house, said Mrs.
Schmidt, but later returned and
climbed through a window, dragged
one trunk through the hallway and
had it upon a dray before she could
be stopped.
The other trunk was held by Mrs.
Schmidt, but the chorus girl secured 1t
yesterday through search, warrant,
and Mrs. Schmidt was told she would
have to bring civil suit for her money.

BROUGHT BACK FROM
DEATH, BOTH GLAD
Two Patients in Receiving Hospital
Smile When They Awake
to Find Themselves
Alive

When two patients who had passed
the night in the ward of the receiving
hospital awoke yesterday morning they
looked at each other and smiled. Pre-
sumably because of the appearance of
the other man, for both of them were
blistered about the mouth. They were
two men who had attempted to commit
suicide by taking poison.
The first man who desired to make
an exploration of the great unknown
was Charles Raggel of 636 South Clar-
ence street. He tried the chloroform
route, but soon after drinking a guam
tity found the road was not smooth
one. His lips were biistered and he
had a detected appearance, but said he
was glad he did not die. His reason
for his attempt to end his life was be-
cause he had been on a prolonged spree
and was disgusted with himself in par
ticular and with the world in general.
Victor Neuman, who rooms at 5261s
South Main street, was the other tourist
who attempted to take passage to the
land of long shadows. While he had
no objection to anything that savored
of the sentimental he preferred direct.

geons brought him from the borders OF
the spirit world back to the land of
stern reality, and while he is glad OF
the return. he is sore about the mouth
and throat, which were badly burned
by the drug.
Both men are out of danger and will
recover. Neuman said he did not have
much money and was disgusted, but
was not sure he really wanted to die.

face longingly toward the Pacific in
reply.

+ The through freight tariffs between
European ports and points on the Pa

received in Los Angeles. They Illus
trate in a striking fashion the disad-
vantage this city labors under through
lack of public harbor facilities.
The tariffs show that on all commod-
tiles the through rate to Los Angeles is
50 a ton more than 1t Is to Tacoma,

European port. Freight rates from
Europe to Honolulu are exactly the
same as they are to Los Angeles, a
situation not applicable to any other
American point on the Pacific coast
To San Diego, San Francisco or any
other point European freights and
charges may be arranged either at port
of shipment or at destination, but for
Los Angeles alone all freight shipments
must be prepaid, a fact which Will not
be fixed In the European mind to the
advantage of this city.
Through rates to Los Angeles now IN
effect from Antwerp, Bremen, Ham
burg, Hull, Liverpool, London, New

the goods most likely to be imported by
Californians as follows per hundred
