HAMBURGERS PLAN GREAT
SNOW OF LOCAL PRODUCTS
Management of Big New Department
Store May Turn Basement Over
to Auto and Manufac.
turing Men

The management of the new Ham
burger store, which was dedicated
Monday and visited by $4,000 people,
according to estimates made by mem
bers of the firm, announced yesterday
they are considering the establishment
of a permanent exhibition of Southern
California products for the purpose of
showing to the many visitors to Los
Angeles just what this section Of the
country is doing.
d. A. Hamburger, vice president of
the firm said:
I'VE have plenty of space in the
basement where manufacturers of this
part of the state could exhibit their
wares with profit to themselves.
1--WE may call together the manufac-
turers of Los Angeles and get their
views on the subject of the exhibition.
One floor might be devoted exclusively
to automobiles and every dealer would
be invited to exhibit two or three of
his machines.
"A horticultural exhibition later in
the season or perhaps next year also
will be part of the general scheme.
We were greatly pleased at the DEM
onstration yesterday and had no ex-
pectation of seeing such vast numbers
take an active interest in the dedica-
ton of the new store"

TERR0RS OF DESERT
ARE OVERCOME BY
JUICY WATERME0NS
Indians Nearly Famislhed Are saved
from Death When Luscious
Fruit Is Rushed
to Them

Desert terrors have yielded to the
watermelon.
The luscious fruit is what saved
large party of Mojave and Yuma m
dams. who nearly succumbed with
thirst and heat recently while travel
ing to attend a powwow at Neeules'
They stopped exhausted ten miles from
Needles. and but one of the party had
strength enoagh to stagger into Town ,
with a report of their condition. Inc
mercury stood at 126 degrees IN tne
shade and their suffering was pltlapIe.
The Needles Indians Immediately
called a council, presided over by Stem
ula. O-i-che-tup was hastily sum
moned from his resting place under the
big palm in front of the Santa re
depot and made chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, for the Indians
at Needles are civilized.
Ah-oo-il-ya-votch. who is not, as
his name might indicate, the first part
of a monograph record, and Mut-chee
made talks in favor of immediate re-
lief. While they were speaking Chalr.
man Stemula proved himself man or
action.
"Watermelons," he grunted. Heap
watermelons."
Before Ah-oo-il-ya-votch had reached
his "a man who'' Stemula had secured
with the aid of the authorities four
loads of ripe, luscious watermelons and
started them toward the exhausted
travellers. The report from Needles IS
that when the Yumas and Mojaves
met the melons the four loads dwin-
died in thirty-seven minutes to heap
of clean-picked rinds. There were no
fatalities on the Indian side, and the
powwow went off with all present.

DIRTY BEDCLOTHES
AIRED in COURT
S0ILED SHEETS EXHIBITED IN
DAMAGE SUIT
Pottery Factory Accused Of Filling Air
with SCOT and Smoke-Piain-
tiff Asks $4,000
Indemnity

Once spotless sheets and bedspreads,
their surface covered with SCOT, the
dark lines of which formed picturesque
scenes of mountains and valleys, an
unconscious study in black and white,
were exhibited in the superior court
yesterday in the suit of w. S. Crane
against r. W. Braun, ]. T. and George
Tomaseck, proprietors of a pottery fac
tory on Forty-eighth street, near Nc
Kinley avenue.
Crane owns dairy in the vicinity
and adjoining his home, In the still
watches Of the night, he says, the
noises from the pottery disturb the
slumbcrs of himself and family and
other persons living in the neighbor-
hood, while the SCOT from the factory
chimney falls silently but with mar
ring and filthy effect on the washing,
seeking with unerring aim the whitest
fabrics, and even penetrating to the
tender membranes of the lungs of those
breathing the tainted atmosphere. His
milk is also badly freckled and Oft
times unstable.
To clinch the argument, bundle of
bedclothes was unfolded, covered gem
erously with SCOT, which the defense
maintained was placed there purposely.
Six score of witnesses were in the
courtroom to give testimony. Most of
them live in the vicinity of the factory,
or have lived there, but their stories
did not agree as to the effects of the
smoke, SCOT and noises, many saying
they slept peacefully in spite of the
sounds from the factory and that much
Of the SCOT was caused by the belching
of their own chimney smoke.
Crane asks for an injunction to pre-
vent the pottery company from main
tanning what he terms a nuisance and
also demands $4,000 damages, which he
says he has sustained because of de-
probation of his property and the flight
of his tenants.
The case will be argued this morning.

l mortgaged my furniture In order to
secure his release"

Mrs. Pratt prayed was granted.
