AT THE HOTELS
HOTELS EXPERIENCE RUSH
OF NEWLY MARRIED COUPLES

The principal hotels of Los Angeles
are experiencing from verttable IN
fiux of wedding couples, with the con-
comitant of trunks adorned by baby
blue ribbon and suit cases covered with
libelous posters. Two store-new trunks
taken in at the Alexandria yesterday,
beside the telltale satin ribbon, We're
ornamented with Teddy bears and a
tiny gocart of the latest pattern.
A small boy who hopes at some future
date to be a member of the Los An
geles detective force amused the guests
in the Alexandria corridor by following
a thin delicate stream of rice on the
marble floors. From the elevator it
led to the Cesk and then over to the
telegraph office in the southwest corner.
There was quite a little pile of rice
here, and the small boy surmised that
long telegram of deep import had
been sent.
At this point the trail was lost till
the boy happened to double back on
the trail Sure enough, from the desk
another line led to the bar, and here
the Youthful admirer of Conan Doyle
found his quarry.
When Day Clerk Sibbald of the Alex
andria was asked to explain the high
pressure of the matrimonial barometer
he said:
"You have got me, old chap; this
isn't the season for brides at all. l
understand that a new species of lady
bug has been discovered by the chief
enromologist of the University of Cali
fornia and that it bites-but don't
quote me as offering this as an ex-
PLANTATION. I will say this, however,
that a large percentage of this year.
brides have mahogany nhair-I mean
that peculiarly rich and pleasing shade
bordering on chestnut. Now, don't ask
me why"

MERCURY AT SO, BREAKS
RECORD FOR OCTOBER I
Weather Forecaster Says This Month
Is Always Likely to Have
Some Extremely Hot
Days

"Today is the hottest October since
the weather bureau was established
thirty-one years ago." said Weather
man Wollaber yesterday. But that is
nothing" he continued; 1--WE break rec
ords here every little while, and 8S de-
grees is not excessively hot for an Oc-
tober day in Los Angeles. Nine years
ago tomorrow the mercury made a
clean century and on October 3, 1885, it
reached 102 degrees, which was some
hot!"
1t was one degree hotter yesterday
than it was the day before. while no
abrupt change is expected the present
period of hot weather will gradually
fade into cool days and cooler nights
as summer is gradually folded into
the arms of autumn" concluded the
weather prophet.

QUARRELS WITH HER
FORMER PATIENT ON
SUBJECT OF WILL
TESTATOR REPENTS HAVING
EXECUTED DOCUMENT
Offers His Nurse Check for Return of
the Paper and Then Claims
She Took it from
Him

1t is seldom that the maker Of Will
has occasion to fight about the pro-
visions contained therein, ths contest
ing generally being done by the lega-
tees after the death Of the testator.
The exception to this rule, however
came to light yesterday afternoon When
an angry couple, q man ana a WoInaIi'
drove up to the police station and,
after considerable argument, in which
loud words were used, alighted, stood
on the sidewalk and quarreled. BY thls
time Detective Mckenzie had appeared
and was told by the man that the
woman had stolen a valuable docu-
ment from him. The woman started
to walk away but was detained ana
taken into the detectives office ana
later into the office OF Deputy Dlstrlct
Attorney Donnell.
The man, Bartolo Ballerino, of 613
CASTELAR, street, and the woman, Mrs.
Bella Garrison, sometimes known as
Della Durand, a usic teacher, told
their stories to the attorney.
1t seems that Mrs. Garrison mad
nursed Ballerino through severe ILL
ness and attended him for about a
year. according to his story. To show
hfs appreciation of her kindness Bal
lerino made a will and named her as
a legatee. The document was executed
according to law and handed to Mrs.
Garrison to take care of.
Later Ballerino decided to obtain the
will and offered the woman $3.50 II she
would deliver to him the document,
and. in consideration for a check for
the amount agreed upon, give him a
receipt in full releasing him from any
and all obligation. The agreement
was carried out, and yesterday, with
the will in his coat pocket, Ballerino
started for town, Mrs. Garrison ac-
companying him. Then, he declares,
she took the paper from his pocket and
refused to give it up.
After talking the matter over, both
agreed that the document should be
left with a third party and decided to
entrLst it to the custody OF Major Don
nell His former title of Cupid is now
changed to that of Custodian of Wills

Birmingham, Ala, April 2S.-That
Alabama. the first state on the roll
call in the national convention, Will
be split into three republican factions,
all Of which will send contesting dele
cations, is made evident by the eX-
pressions of delegates who arrived
here today for the Davidson or anti
administration convention of the
party. The convention will be held
tomorrow and was called by j. w.
Davidson. who is the leader of the
anti-Roosevelt faction of the repub-
licans in this state. He was expelled
from the state executive committee
by the Roosevelt faction because he
attended an anti-Taft meeting. Da-
wilson has sought the support Of "all
republicans who are opposed to the
party being controlled by office
holders
The Roosevelt faction, led by State
Chairman ]. o. Thompson, internal
revenue collector for Alabama, will
hold its convention on May g. Charles
Scott. the national committeeman
from Alabama, is for Fairbanks. He
will probably lead the third delega-
tion to Chicago.
The "Lly-white" and the black
and-tan" elements Of the party also
may play a part in this peculiar con-
test. The negro voters will have no
affiliation with the Taft outfit, and
Scott, It is pointed out, may derive
much support from them. While the
colored voters as a rule prefer Fora
ker, they would be more apt to flock
with the Fairbanks crowd than with
Taft's emissaries.
For the real thing in debatable
ground and furnishing a hot three
cornered contest, Alabama it seems
easily takes the palm.

Jackson, Miss, April 2S.-On the
eve of the Mississippi republican state
convention, it is indicated that the
Roosevelt faction is in control and
that tomorrow's convention will send
an instructed delegatin to Chicago for
William H. Taft. An attempt by the
negro wing of the party to create a
controversy over the Brownsville in

A fish story that is somewhat diff

boy with his dog were out fishing. A
trout was hooked and the pole and
line were jerked from the boys hands.
The dog was sent in after It and sue
ceeding in getting hold Of the pole.
but the fish was so large that the dog
was jerked about in the swiftly run
