what she wanted, and she replied:
"a hundred dollars -


When Dunning assured her Olds was
not in the stable, she replied in sub
stance that Dunning was violating the
sacred motto of George Washington"
and that if Olds was not produced she
would make things lively.
An exchange of rapid-fire language
ensued, during which the bag of eggs
descended suddenly and blindingly on
Dunning's head. causing him great an
guish of mind and physical discomflt-
ure.
A hurryup call was sent to the po-
lice, and shortly after her flight PATROL
man Cook found the woman at Ninth
and Los Angeles streets. She was
placed under arrest and taken to the
city jail, where she was locked up on a
charge of disturbing the peace.
Charges and counter-charges are
made by all three principals in the af-
fair, the two men claiming the woman
is an adventures, and that she had no
right to demand the money. Accord
ing to Olds and Dunning, she had fire.
quently threatened to kill the former
ii she was not paid certain sums of
money at stipulated periods.
II want 800 today, or L will plant
you in Rosedale cemetery the woman
is alleged by Olds to have said to him
a few minutes before the melee at the
livery stable.
Olds states he believes the woman
meant to carry out her threat, and
says he intended having her arrested
for disturbing the peace had not her
attack on Dunning caused the arrest
when 1t did.
The woman charges that Olds owed
her money and that he refused to pay
it. She denies threatening to kill him.
Olds is well-to-do and highly respect
ed, 1t is said, by all who know him
He has wife and family. The former
is an invalid.
Dunning's connection with the affair
beyond what Is stated, could not be
| learned last night, but the woman's
story also involves him.
The police appear to put but littl'
credence in her narrative, and friends
| of Olds and Dunning last night came
to their rescue, averring that the wom-
an simply took advantage of an ac-
quaintance to extort money.

SMASHES EGGS ON HEAD
OF AST0NISHED LIVERYMAN

An alleged attempt at blackmail, re-
sulting in a melee at the Rosedale Liv-
cry stable, 1870 West Washington
street, during which bag of eggs was
smashed upon the head Of l.. H. Dun
ming, one of the proprietors, ended
about o'clock last night in the arrest
of Virginia Schubert, a young woman
We'll known about town, who lives near
Ninth and Los Angeles streets.
L. H. Dunning is joint owner with z.
A. Olds In the livery stables, and ac-
cording to the two livery stable men
the Schubert woman attempted to get
$100 out of Olds by blackmail.
Olds says he met the woman on a
train near Salt Lake a little over a
year ago. He declares she has followed
him persistensly and bounded his steps
until, as he describes it, she had made
life a burden to all concerned"
Olds Is a married men, and declares
he is innocent of any wrong actions in
the affair, although the woman tells
different story.
Basing her demand for money on her
claims, she called UP the livery stable
little before o'clock last evening,
and demanded to speak with Olds. The
latter answered the telephone, but
turned it over to Dunning, his part
ner, who told the woman OldS was not
in. He hung the receiver up suddenly
in the midst of the conversation.
A few minutes later Miss Schubert
called up again, and Dunning again
answered, telling her Olds was not in:
To this the Schubert woman replied
that Dunning was liar, whereupon
Dunning hung up the receiver again
abruptly.
Miss Schubert a few minutes later
appeared in the door of the livery sta

DIR. STRATON SPEAKS
ON SOUTHERN POETRY
TEMPLE AUDITORIUM PACKED
BY EAGER CROWD
Dialect Readings, Selections from
Noted Authors and Rendering OF
Favorlte Songs Greeted with
Great Applause

DR.. John Roach Straton lectured at
the Temple auditorium last night to d
crowded and most enthusiastic house
ON ''The South in Song and Story"
The lecture was preceded by the sing
ing by a quartet and the choir of the
Baptist church of a number of the ole
favorites, including Way Down Upon
the Suwannee River and Swing Low
Sweet Chariot" Mr.. Gregg made a
most decided hit by his rendition of a
negro serenade which brought down
the house.
DR.. Straton then proceeded to discuss
southern literature, giving number or
negro dialect readings, which were re-
ceived with tremendous laughter and
applause. He followed this with selec-
tions from southern poets, and dis
cussed the place occupied by southern
poetry in the literature of the world,
awarding special praise to the work of
Edgar Allen Poe, Sidney Lanier and
other we'll known writer's.
An intermission followed, during
which "Dixie'' and other notable south
ern songs were given, the audience
Joining vociferously In the chorus.
In closing the evening DIR. Straton
discussed the literary future of the
south and it's possibilities for progress
along the higher levels of thought,
prophesying that she would yet produce
work more wonderful than that of the
past, inasmuch as better opportunities
were now open to her.
The speaker concluded with pen
picture of a scene in the mountains Of
Virginia, and dwelt on the inspira-
tion that the writer's of the future
would find in the magnificent charms
with which nature has lowered the
south.
The audience then sang the Star
Spangled Banner" which, as DIR. Straton
remarked, was itself the product Of a.
southern pen.

H. G. Hurley returned to Los Ange-
les Yesterday from weeks vacation
at Catalina He said the fishing at
Catalina was unusually poor for this
season of the year, giving as his reason
the fact that the yellowtail are getting
too many fish under water zone day"
he said, II went out in rowboat with
a friend and we came across a school
of yellowtail. We stopped the boat and
let our line down baited with fresh
sardines. [ trolled my line in and out
among them but they would not touch
the halt. Last year at this time sar-
dimes were scarce at the island; now
we can procure them fresh each morn
lag" Hurley also said that the fishing
al Clemente was excellent, and that
MANY big fish were being caught every
day. many of them by persons who
never before had done any light tackle
fishing
Fishing Yesterday at Playa del Rey
was a pleasure to the many eXpectant
anglers who lined the Dig WnarI; Only
the fact that the sardines. which were
being used for bait, ran out prevented
the crowd from covering the pier with
trout. There were big trout and little
trout and big anglers and little anglers.
That the trout were hungry was proved
by the fact that one man caught one
with a pompano hook. The tide was
right for the sport, and judging from
the sentiments expressed by many of
the anglers there will be big. crowd on
the wharf today. and they will be sup
piled with plenty of sardines.

BUT PRICES MIsERA5LY LOW
Special to The Herald

SANTA ANA, Aug. 3.-The apricot
season practically has closed, and a
couple of days more will see the last
of the dried fruit stored. The yield of
dried fruit in the valley probably will
aggregate fifty-five carloads, as against
five or six carloads last year.
The fruit Is small, but is of fine fla
vor and is well cured and bright.
Prices so far range between and s
cents, and buyers say the figure will
not go higher, but as it is estimated
that it costs cents to pick and pre-
pare the fruit for shipment, growers
are hoping the prediction will not come
true.
