Storing Icicles for Summer Use. /

South Germans produce ice from
pure WI ter il winter. They use a
larre wooden framework in two
sto les, about six y4iIs square and six

wood rises beyond the upper floors
This tube.is connected with the water
main and tie water issues through a
rotating disc which sends moving
spray on the beams. AS the water
drops from the beams icicles are form

CHARGES HUSBAND
DESERTED HIS WIFE
WARRANT is SECURED FOR
MANS ARREST
John King Is Said to Be Living Here
with an "Affinity," but Police
Are Unable to Find
Him

According to a statement made to
the prosecuting attorney by Mrs. Han
nah King yesterday two women, wife
and an affinity, have been deserted by
John King, who, while he lived IN Den
yer over three years ago, was known
as John B. Hill, the name he has since
been known by here, and who disap-
peared recently.
King lived with his wife, Mrs. Han
nah King of Pottsville, Pa, in Den
yer for seventeen years. Three years
ago he is said to have deserted her
there and came to Los Angeles with
Bessie Thomas.
They attended religious meetings
about a year ago and Joined the New
man Methodist church. After becom
ing members of the church King told
the pastor the story of his married life.
He was advised by the preacher to
secure a divorce from his wife and
marry Miss Thomas. He agreed to do
so. and notice of the suit was served on
Mrs. King at Pottsville. King thought
at the time his wife would not come
here. He was wrong, however, for Mrs.
King arrived in Los Angeles and found
her husband. He was painting the
Newman Methodist church. He re-
fused to have anything to do with her
and threatened to have her arrested.
She appealed to the police and was told
to sue her husband for non-support
Now that the papers have been pre-
pared King cannot be found.
The woman who is living with him
is alleged to have said she is not the
legal wife, and says she has not any
knowledge of Kings whereabouts.

WIFE ALARMED BY
HUSBANDS ABSENCE
SALT LAKE CLERK MISSING
THREE DAYS
Steady Habits and Pleasant Domestic
Relations Leave Foul Play to
Account for Mysterious
Absence

H. P. Smith chief clerk of the claim
department of the Salt Lake and one
of Glendale's best known citizens, has
disappeared from his home and his
relatives and friends are greatly Wor-
ried over his absence. His wife is
driven nearly frantic by the belief that
foul play may have befallen him.
He was never known to drink and
his domestic relations were of the most
pleasant. His mysterious disappear
ance cannot be accounted for on the
ground of trouble at home for he was
a great lover of his home and could
seldom be induced to leave it, except
to attend the meetings of fraternal
orders of which he was q member.
He left home Sunday morning at
$3.50 o'clock, telling his wife that he
was going to call on a friend and
would be back before noon. The
neighbor he mentioned did not see him
Sunday, nor has any member of his
family nor any of his friends seen him
since. He has not been at his office
since Saturday and none of his fellow
workmen have heard from him. He
was about SO years old, five feet eleven
inches high, light mustache and hair,
weight $50 pounds.

EDELMAN HEADS
CIVIL SERVICE
SUCCEEDS DR.. JOHN r. HAYNES
AS CHAIRMAN
With Commissioner Morton's Entry
on Board Presiding Officer Is
Changed, Doctor Dis
placing Doctor

DIR. D. w. Edelman, M. D., was last
night elected chairman of the civil
service commission, succeeding DR..
John r. Haynes
With the confirmation of w. Ona
Morton, the new commissioner, it was
a foregone conclusion that there would
be a change in the presiding officer.
Some months ago 1t was stated in
city hall circles that with the new
year, when Commissioner A. B. Nc
Cutchen's term expired there would
be a radical shakeup in the commits
sion. Mr.. McCutchen died suddenly
and Attorney Morton was named to
fill the uneXpired term. Monday the
appointment was made permanent
DIR. Edelman is a veteran in the civil
service movement, active in civic work
and during the last mayoralty cam
paign was Arthur C. Harper's man
ager.
DR.. Edelman served on the first COM
mission in the Snyder regime and Dr.
Haynes was also one of the first mem
bers of the commission. He has served
as chairman the past two years, his
term as such expiring the first week
in February.
Mr. Morton did not reach the board
rooms yesterday until the meeting was
almost over.

STAGE TERM "BR0ILER"
Invented FOR WOODLAND"
First Heard When This Tuneful Pixley
Fantasy Was Originally Pro-
duced on an Eastern
Stage

m HERE have come to be many diff
ferent classifications in the ranks
Il of the chorus girl. Some years ago
a chorus girl was simply chorus
girl and nothing more. Nowadays
there are SHOW girls" singing girls,
chorus girls" extra girls" squads"
ponies" and 'broilers." The term
''broiler' was an invention of that brill
liam librettist, Frank PiXley, and was
first applied to the canaries in the
chorus of his successful musical fam
tasy woodland" Pixley used the
term to designate the youngest girls in
the chorus. These little ones speak no
lines, neither do they wear gorgeous
frocks that help to make the show
girls famous, but they are chic, and,
IN the more familiar American sense,
cute. They make attractive groups in
contrast with the more stunning show
girls.
1t is hard to define a "broiler." Have
you ever wandered through a farm
yard? Then you have noted the big,
plump Brahnas. the obese but fair
Cochin China fowls, the stately Doml-
nick. Well, from these your eye may
have turned in relief to a small, slen-
der, shapely, very young, sprightly,
technically known as a broiler, and
what she is to the rest of the fowls
the stage broiler is to the larger, slow
er moving fcotlight women.
The broiler is a watch-charm girl,
combining all the beauties, vim and
grace, of the others, but in miniature.
She is the old time favorite, seen
through the small end of rose-tinted
opera glasses.

SEVERAL SOCIETIES URGE THE
MAYOR TO ACT
Police Board Will Consider Whether
Additional Reward Should Be
Bestowed on Connolly,
Meski's Captor

Mayor A. c.. Harper stated to the
police board yesterday that representa-
tlves of several societies had APP
preached him with the suggestion that
the board should do something more
substantial than has been done toward
rewarding Patrolman Anthony Con-
nelly, who captured the slayer of Pa
trolman Lyons.
Il have talked the matter over with
Chief Kern" said the mayor. land
he seems to think that proper recog-
rition has already been given for Con-
nelly through the merit system OF
medals.
1.-The chief says he expects every Of
ficer to do his duty as Connolly did his.
1.-THE men who came to see me
thought that Connolly should be pro
NOTED to a sergeant or detective. AS
he has been on the force less than d
year, this possibly cannot be done I'M

Commons and Lords
"The proposal to elect six councilmen
at large, If adopted, would turn our
city council into a house of commons
and a house of lords; the six lordly
councilmen at large being practically
beyond the recall of the people.
1.-THE working class of this city is
largely confined to certain wards An
attempt to abolish or limit ward repre-
sentation would practically be an at
tempt to lessen the political power OF
the working class.
but no one need say that because the
working people desire, at present, to
retain the system of ward representa-
ton they are not in favor of re-
forming that system. Councilmer
should be sent from their respective
wards in proportion to the population
in those wards.
ITO that end this minority report
proposes that every ward be entitled to
one additional councilman for every
1000 voters over the first 1000 of its vot-
ing population.
This apportionment would give the
First ward one, Second ward one, Third
ward one, Fourth ward two, Fifth ward
two, Sixth ward three, Seventh WARD
two, Eighth ward one and the Ninth
ward one. This would add four more
councilmen to our present city govern
ment.'

EIGHT ASK DAMAGES

FOR $4,000
Cressaty Explosion Results in Much
Legal Warfare, but Cause of
the Accident Is Still
Mystery

What caused the explosion of gas
February 13 last when Cressaty's res
taurant on West Second street was
badly wrecked, may be explained as
the result of a suit filed in the superior
court yesterday by Max E. Rothman
against the Los Angeles Gas and Elec-
trio company asking for damages in
the sum of $4,000 for personal injuries.
Rothman says he was sent to the
restaurant by the gas company to re-
pair a leak, and that the flash lamp
he carried was defective. The gas, he
says, got into the flame of the lamp
and the explosion followed.
Seven other suits were filed yester-
day as a result of the explosion. They
are those of Charles ]. Blumenthal,
who asks for damages of $4,000;
Katharine Shea, $1,000; Henry War
rem, $1,000; Sylvia Cowan, $500; Henry
Conway, $1,000; Cora Ralston, $500, and
Alfred Wilcox, $500, the latter for prop
erty said to have been damaged.

address you briefly in writing.
when the city council generously
granted to me the original franchise
there seemed to be no doubt about the
immediate vigorous prosecution and
completion of the plant. To this end
at once set about the preliminary work

pavilion, assembly hall and other struc-
lures upon the summit; engaged en-
gineers, who cleared off the right OF

surveyed, mapped, profiled and esti-
mated and laid some track, altogether

of dollars in this important and neces-
sary work.

fit. A verbal agreement had been made
and the attorney was formulating q
contract, when a sudden halt was
called, and upon investigation 1 found
that the stop order had come from the
Pacific Electric building-that Mr.
Huntington, although not prepared tc
take up the work himself would not
allow the Los Angele5-Pacif1c to do so
at will not let them build It, Were
his exact words to me, and the order
was as effective in stopping the WORK

the enterprise until conditions should
change was a simple case of kicking
against the pricks.'
Conditions have now changed, and
but for the uncertain financial outlook
am satisfied the work of construction
would be under way. 1 respectfully
submit to your honorable body, whether
under these conditions my application
for a renewal of franchise should be
prejudiced, on account of failure to
comply with the provisions of the for

MEN CLAIM THEY WERE
NOT PRESENT AT FIGHT
Prisoners Say They Were Engaged to
Weigh Dogs for a Battle to
Be Held Across the
Border

Two of the twenty-five men arrested
Sunday by H. M. thinner, superinten-
dent of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. appeared in
Justice Pierces court yesterday and
pleaded not guilty to charges of being
present to witness animals fight.
The men are II. M. Martin and
George Easton, and their attorney,
Fred II. Thompson, says he expects to
prove they were present, not to wit
ness a fight, but merely to weigh in
the dogs for fight across the Mexican
border.
The society's officials claim to have
plenty of evidence to convict the men.
