AGED SHOE SALESMAN
DISAPPEARS FROM HOME
w. H. 5ispham Has peen Missing
Ten Days and There Is No Clew
as to His Whereabouts

w. H. Bispham, II years old, shoe
salesman, is missing from his room
at 264S West Pico street. where he has
been living since he separated from
his wife short time ago, and Deputy
District Attorney Harry Alexander, a
cousin of the old man, has been asked
to make an effort to locate him.
1t first was reported that Bispham
had been missing for q week. Later
Mrs. Bispham, who lives at 1859 South
Avenue Twenty, visited Alexander and
told him that she had heard nothing
of her husband for ten days. She said
the old man frequently suffered attacks
of vertigo and probably met with some
accident during one of these spells.
None of the missing mans belongings
in his room had been disturbed and
there is no clew as to his present
whereabouts.
He is described as being six feet in
height and weighs 1876 pounds. He has
gray, thin hair and gray mustache.
He always dressed neatly.
Mrs. Bispham said her husband was
greatly interested in the election of
today and cannot account for his dis
appearance.

FRUIT CROPS ARE
BENEFITED BY RAIN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GROW
ERS PLEASED
Further Irrigation is Unnecessary in
Sections Which Are De-
voted to Deciduous
Fruits

Southern California fruit crops have
been improved by the recent rains and
growers in this section of the state are
in good humor as n consequence. The
citrus and deciduous fruit industries
were benefited alike. The cold snap
that brought umbrellas and overcoats
into service has not injured the citrus
fruits and the rain is thought to have
made further irrigation in the lemon
and orange orchards unnecessary until
spring. According to the statements
of the growers of deciduous fruits, the
cool weather is going to insure a great
crop of the fruit.
Vegetables, however, have not Jared
quite so well. for growers and dealers
state that the cold wave and rain have
damaged the gardens to some extent.
In other parts of the state tomatoes
suffered and even those arriving on the
market yesterday were frostbitten,
showing the wholesale price Of good
tomatoes up to so cents advance. Ber-
ries were also affected. They were
driven into the dirt by the rain and as
a consequence their picking was de-
layed and none arrived on the market
yesterday.

FOR MURDER OF 0GAS

After hearing the testimony of two
witnesses who stated that they heard
Ysidro Sais, 60 years old, declare he
would kill Natividad Ogas, % years
old, if the latter did not leave the
premises owned by the former, Police
Judge Williams yesterday held Sais to
answer to the superior court without
bail on a charge of numbering Ogas.
The killing occurred the night of No
vember in the court yard of the
house at 1851 San Fernando street.
1t seems that Ogas was living with
a niece of Sais and there had been
bad feeling as a result. The men met
in the court yard. A dispute arose
and Ogas fell to the ground with a
knife wound in his body.

FIVE INJURED IN
AUTOMOBILE CRASH

Street Car and Former
Is Completely
Wrecked

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 6.--As the result
of a collision between a Mission Hills
electric car and an automobile late this
afternoon five persons were injured
and, but for the presence of mind of
the driver of the automobile, the ac-
cident might have at once resulted
fatally. The automobile was driven
by ]. d. Hill of this city.
On the seat with him was J. d. Nor
rison, Los Angeles automobile agent,
In the tonneau were M. w. Wiseman
and wife, and o. Nj. Feindell, eastern
friends of Morrison.
The accident occurred when the au-
tomobile was about to cross the street
car tracks at Brooks and Second
streets.
Seeing a collision was inevitable, Hill
threw the steering wheel over. turning
the automobile in the direction the
car was running, and by this move
ment the impact, which was on the
right wheels and tonneau, was dimin-
ished. The automobile, however was
completely wrecked and all its occu-
pants thrown out.
All were severely bruised and
wrenched, and Feindell was hurt by
flying splinters and had a bad cut over
the left eye. 1t is thought all will
recover unless there are internal in
juries.

Besides entertaining the newspaper
men of Washington, Seattle has just
finished showing the exposition to the
members of the National Editorial
Association. This gathering drew twice
the attendance that its officers had
expected, more than 400 editors and
their families coming from the Atlantic
Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, California.
the Great Lakes and all intervening
points. A special train from the East
over the Northern Pacific, brought 1914
persons, in eight standard Pullman
coaches. They were cared for in ex-
emplary fashion. So solicitous was the
Northern Pacific for the comfort of the
editors that it placed the special train
in charge of ]. N. Stewart, advertising
manager for the system. His attentions
made the trip one that every partici-
pant will always recall as perfect one
in every detail. The party stopped
five hours at Spokane where the Cham
Der of Commerce showed all the mem
bers over the Falls City. At North
Yakima, the local Commercial Club
piloted the editors through the fruit
laden valley, in automobiles. Many of
the visiting editors are about ripe to
become boosters for the great North
west and it is sure that their trip will
result in columns of space in their res
pective papers, on the wonders of this
country, when they get back home.
AS the exposition season progresses, it
becomes more and more apparent that
every section of the Northwest will
benefit from the undertaking, for the
travellers are radiating to all parts after
seeing the sights of Puget Sound.

A.-Y.-P. EXPOSITION NOTES

Bath and lounging robes wired with
electricity for warming the wearer are
among the novelties shown in the
Manufacturers building at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc exposition.
Athletes from Yale, Harvard, Penn
sylyania, Chicago, Minnesota and other
colleges will participate in the great
A. A. u. meet at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition in August.
There are about $50 flags floating
over the different buildings and about
the grounds of the Alaska-Yukon-Pac-
ifc exposition. More than a million
electric lights are used for illuminating
at night.
The art exhibit at the AlaskaYukon-
Pacific exposition is valued at over a
million and a half dollars. 1t includes
work from the greatest private and
public galleries of both the European
and American continents.
To prepare an entirely different
menu for each day, is what the chef
cooking canned salmon in the Alaska

to do to hold his job. The dishes of
salmon are for distribution to visitors.
Built entirely of logs pegged to-
gether is the Arctic Brotherhood build
ing at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc expo
sition. 1t is a permanent structure
and will be used as a clubhouse by
the Alaska students at the University

the miracle painting In the Shadow
of the Cross" by Henry Hammond
Ali. It is to be seen in the Swedish
