WANTED IN EAST;
CHARGE FORGERY
WELL DRESSED MAN HARVESTED
ON STEAMER
Preston La Baw Apprehended at Re.
dondo Beach by Los Angeles
Detective on AdVices
from Gotham

When the German tramp steamer
Erna, from San Francisco for Sorrento
by the way of Santa Cruz, Mexico,
locked at Redondo yesterday Detective
C. Chapman, accompanied by City Mar
shall Stanchfield of that city, boarded
her and took into custody Preston La
Baw, on telegraphic instructions from
Chief Inspector James McCafferty of
the New York detective bureau, on a
charge of forgery.
The prisoner, who is a small, well
dressed and distinguished looking man,
expressed no surprise at his arrest and
took it as a matter of course. He
simply asked that he be treated as well
as possible under the circumstances,
but refused to make any statement
whatever
The only information the local police
have is a telegram and a letter of ad-
vice from Inspector McCafferty stat
ing that La Baw would probably be
found as a passenger on board the
steamer and that he was wanted in
New York for a series of forgeries of a
large amount and that he must be ar
rested and held at all hazards, regard
less Of expense,
A message was sent east last night
informing the New York officer of the
arrest of La Baw, and in answer a
telegram was received that an officer
would be started west at once to take
him back to that city.

II FAIR ARIZONANS
TO LEAVE FOR FAIR
YOUNG WOMEN BECOME LOST
ON SPRING STREET
Tourists from Desert Get Confused in
Business District of Los Angeles
and Are Unable to Find
Hotel

The party of twelve young women
comprising the winners of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific contest held by the Arr
IONA Gazette of Phoenix, who have
been seeing Los Angeles for several
days, will leave this afternoon at 2;SS
o'clock direct for Seattle, where they
will be guests at the exposition Tor one
week.
The party expressed itself as thor
oughly enjoying the visit in Los An
geles, despite the fact that one-halt or
the number became separated from the
others last night and wandered about
at a loss to find their way to their
headquarters at the Westminster. They
were finally located after an hours
search by A. G. Dulmage' business
manager of the Gazette, who, accom-
panied by his wife, is directing the
tourists.
The party arrived in Los Angeles
Friday night, and Sunday, as guests
of the Pacific Electric company, were
taken on trip to Mount Lowe. sun
day afternoon the young women were
guests of the Harvey Sight Seeing
company, and for two hours enjoyed
an automobile journey about the city.
Sunday night they were guests OF
Oliver Morosco, and witnessed the per
Torrance of Three Weeks" at the
Majestic theater.
Yesterday the young women visited
Catalina island and were guests OF the
Banning company at the Hotel Metro
pole during their stay in Avalon.
Last night the young women formed
a box party and were guests at the
Orpheum theater, although for a time
it looked as though the party would
have 10 be given up when six n the
girls got lost on Spring street, and were
wandering about near First ana Hill
street in an endeavor to locate the Or
pheum theater.
This morning the party will be guests
of the Los Angeles-Pacific Electric
company and will ride over its lines in
General Sherman's private car
They make their farewell to Los An
geles persons this afternoon, and after
a weeks visit at the exposition Will
return to Phoenix, making stops at San
Francisco and Portland on the return

way centers from the numerous quer-
les that will be made and also to pro-
vide reliable information for the Wis
itors. Every special Elks' train COM
ing to Los Angeles will be bulletined
ahead and the information department
will be in charge of a score of expert
enced operators.
The accurate list of the headquarters
of the visiting Elks during the week
of July IL has not been completed, oW-
ing to the changes and cancellations
that are being made each day, and the
correct and verified list will not be
announced for several days. While
many of the big delegations to Los
Angeles will have official headquarters
in one place, their accommodations
and "open house" quarters may be in
another. For instance, the official
headquarters of the Cincinnati lodge
will be at Hotel Alexandria, while 1t
has engaged 100 rooms at Hotel Vir-
ginia, Long Beach, for living quarters.
For this reason it is at present i'm
possible to give an accurate and re-
liable list of where the visiting dele
cations can be found.
| Many of the visiting lodges intend to
make the most of the reunion for ad-
vertising the industries of the various
sections of the country which they
represent. Elks of the Sacramento
! valley plan to bring large shipments
of fruit to Los Angeles, which will
be distributed to show the products
of that section.
From July 10 until July 10 the
steamer service to Catalina island will
be increased and every steamer of the
Wilmington Transportation company
will be put in service for the benefit
of the Elks. Four steamers will ply
daily between San Pedro and Avalon
during reunion week.
Entries for Parade Recorded
Each day new entries for the parade
to be given for the entertainment of
! the Elks are being recorded.
The Detroit lodge will enter drill
squad, word to this effect having been
received by Motley II. Flint, chairman
of the executive committee, from Will
lis p. Rand, secretary of Detroit lodge
No. "a.
The contest for the prizes offered for
the best drilled and the best and most
neatly uniformed team promises to be
interesting.
The White Squadron, which is the
name given to the Los Angeles drill
squad, has been practicing diligently
and expects to show the visiting
squads q few new ideas in Elk manip-
ulations
Already the various business blocks
and hotels are being bedecked in holt

fact that the Oakland lodge intends to

PREPARE ROADS
FOR AUTO RACE
SANTA MONICA COURSE WILL
BE PERFECTED
MACHINES Arrive FOR HARD
CONTEST
Cars viii Be Equipped with Shock
Absorbers on Account of Rough
Places to Be Encoun-
tered

The finishing touches will be put on
the course for the Santa Monica road
race this week and Friday morning
things will be in shape for the first
speed tests of the big cars. Acting
Chairman Leon Shelter, d. B. Rose
and w. T.. Bush made a trip over the
course yesterday and suggested a num-
Der of things which will be done.
Work on the immense grand stand is
progressing and this will be entirely
completed this week. The stand will
seat 5000 and there has been a steady
demand for seats, which were placed
on sale Saturday at the Wiley B. Allen
company, 416 South Broadway. The
most desirable seats are near the start
and finishing line and the demand has
been for these locations There has
also been lively demand for the
boxes.
Despite the efforts of the committee
to keep the cars off the course until
Friday, many machines have been
making the rounds with the result that
many of the fills have been damaged to
such an extent that additional work
will be necessary.
While the course appears smooth to
the average motorist going over in an
easy riding touring car, it is proving
a bit rough in places for the racers and
as a result almost all the big cars will
be equipped with shock absorbers.
Wrapping springs and attaching the
absorbers has become a general thing
in all the big races, as it is almost an
impossibility to keep course clear of
rough places. Several machines broke
springs in the CODE race at Chicago
Saturday and the Southern California
drivers do not intend having similar
experiences.
1t was definitely decided yesterday
that Bruno Seibel, the Flying Dutch
man who defeated Barney Oldfeld at
Lakeside, will drive the Chadwick Six.
The big car arrived yesterday and will
be stripped and made ready for the
road this week.

It Is PrettIy Situated On Two and Half Acre Tract

Typical of the sort of house that can be erected in Phoenix at a cost of about S4000 is that recently com pleted for II. O. Winslow of the firm of Goldberg. This bungalow, a reproduc- tion of which is printed above, is To- cated on the corner of Palm Lane and Cave Creek road.
 The plans of the house were adapt ed from several Phoenix residences, the particular features of a number of homes which appealed to the owner being incorporated in this dwelling. The outside construction is of brick with outside pebble dash The foun- dations are two feet of concrete un- dergronnd and then stone.
 The entire front of the house is de- voted to the living and dining rooms. which are practically one long room, being separated only by projecting bookcases with a curtain between. In the dining room is a large mantle faced with split river boulders. The woodwork in the front rooms is stained with a dull brown and both have open-beam ceilings. The walls are tinted dull green, which harmon iZes well with the woodwork. The walls of the bedrooms are variously tinted, one being about the shade of a ripe apricot and another a different shade of green from the living.

shrewd buyer. Another sale made by the same company was for the Print CTS Realty company. The transac- ton consisted of Q half block in the Brill addition.
 The offices of the Valley Realty company at 34 West Adams street are rapidly being furnished and pro vided with every convenience for the use of their patrons. The woodwork and furniture is of the antique mis- sion style stained a dark green. It is one of the roomiest and larg- est offices in the city. One side of the room is partitioned off into booths or little offices by heavy oak railing They will be used for the rental, mining, sales departments, etc. new plate glass window is on the way and when it is in place will probably be the largest single piece of plate in the city. The office is also provided with large safe which has just been installed.
Arizona republican., 1909-02-21

The bathroom is situated nearly in the center of the house, and is readily accessible from the living rooms and from the bedrooms. There are two chambers on the ground floor and space for three more on the upper floor. which is as yet unfinished
 Besides the large porch extending acros the front of the house, there is another at the side and screen porches at the rear
 One of the cOmmendable features of this place is the fact that it is situ- ated in the center of a rather large tract, instead of being built on a single or double lot, as are most of the houses now being erected. MT Wins low has built his home in a two and a half-acre tract, and will improve the grounds and make one of the pretty villas of the city out of it. There Is little doubt that the valley will eventually be dotted with these pretty country houses-and not very far at that from the business section of the city-each of which will have a front yard embracing from one to five acres. With the coming of the trolley, homes of this character will rapidly increase.
 D. w. Willard was the architect of MT. Winslow's house. and Harvey b. Patton the contractor.

FRUIT MEN BUY
 A VALLEY RANCH
Sale Made Through the Dick Erdman Office.

One of the good sales of the past lweek, which has not been notable, with few exceptions, for any very large transactions, was that of so acres in section 6, IN 2E, from Mrs. Ella McElhaney to Willis brothers. The business was transacted through the Dick Erdman office. The consid- eration was said to be sI2,O00. James and Benjamin Willis came to the valley two weeks ago from Maryland where they have been en- gagged in fruit raising devoting most of their attention to the raising of peaches and pears. On the new ranch they have acquired they will continue to raise the best class of these fruits. They will take possession in 30 days and at once start cultivation with a view to fruit raising.
 The ranch is now planted mostly in alfalfa, though a part of it is in an orchard of peaches and pears. There is a good house on the place. The ranch is just south of the Christy road about six miles west of Phoenix.
 Another sale made by Dick Erdman during the week is q six room mod ern house on lots 24 and 25 in block 2 of the Capitol addition. This prop erty was purchased by Tom Smith, the mail carrier, from Edna c. Pet tid, who is leaving Phoenix next week for New Mexico. MT. Erdman has a number of other deals in the process of contamination and said yesterday that he had had about the busiest week since he opened up his office But l see that I have got to buy an automobile" MT. Erdman remarked in a sad tone; Tt seems to be just as necessary an adjunct of the real estate business of this city as a map of Phoenix. This thing of hiring a machine at four dollars an hour and taking strangers on a sight sec ing tour of the valley must cease. It has a tendency. to cut into ones pro- fits. so 1t won't be long before you will see me with goggles and all that goes with them-in short, first class car"
