WASTE CASH ON
DETENTION HOME
"S0LID THREE" BUYS LAND
NOT NEEDED BY COUNTY
Plenty of Vacant Property Was Open
for Occupancy at No Cost
Near the County
Hospital

The solid three of the board of
supervisors, Eldridge McCabe and
Nelns AFFIXED the final seal to official
extravaganza in connection with the
detention home site yesterday when
they voted to confirm the purchase of
the site at Yale and College streets
from o. +. Sherer for $4,000 This
large sum, which could have been
the home and for its maintenance,
Will soon be taken from the county
treasury and turned over TO the sellers
of the land.
The decision to advertise for the
purchase of this site was reached by
the "solid three" a month ago over
the strenuous objections Of Supervis
ors Manning and Pridham, who in
sisted the county owned plenty of
available land in the vicinity of the
county hospital where the home could
be built and have an unrestricted area
for Fairgrounds and gardening. The
expense of improving the land. they
pointed Out-and proved their con-
tentions by figures compiled by the
county engineer-Would be almost
nothing, the saving TO the county
great.
Consistent to the last, the two su-
pcrVlsOrS, Stlll seeking TO save money
to the county, recorded an emphatic
no" when the proposition to confirm
the purchase was submitted to the
board yesterday. Opposed to them
We're the "ayes" of the triunvirate
which, in all probability, will be
broken in the approaching county cleo
tion. Realizing this probability, it is
said. the solid three" were hopeful
until the last moment that Pridham
and Manning would vote favorably for
the purchase.
The site purchased yesterday con-
sists of four lots, with a frontage Of
$50 feet on Yale street and l65 feet on
College street.

There is something doing every sixty

THE Three Twins" Fun and music
| both go with a rush and one is kept
as busy as when watching a three
ring circus.
1t is a slender thread on which the
comedy is strung, but it holds for
three hours. General Stanhope, typ
ical, hOt-headed, domineering army
man, refuses to consent to his sons
marriage with a charming girl. paid
companion of the generals ward, and
Tom, the son, in an effort to win his
fathers permission, disguises himself
unwittingly after a fashion that is

who figure prominently in the beau

One of the three twins" who is a
married man, is discharged as cured
from a sanitarium for nervous trou-
bles where he has been a patient, after
the plot begins to unravel, and he un-
Intentionally helps make things lively,
as does also the equally innocent third
twin" a quiet gentleman, who asks
nothing better than to be allowed to
go about his business in peace. Each
is mistaken for the other by every
body else in the cast, the wife, the
generals ward and Toms fiancee in
Cluded, and the fatality with which
each one embraces the wrong person
at the right time could never by any
possibility occur anywhere but on the
stage.

HORSE DEALER ARRESTED
ON ENLIGHTENMENT CHARGE
Frank Edwards Accused of Fraudu-
lently Obtaining Eight Animals
and Selling Them at Auction

Frank Edwards, a horse dealer, was
arrested yesterday, charged with en-
bezzling eight horses belonging to ]. d.
Ryan. Edwards was unable to give
bond of $2500 and was taken to the
county Jail. His preliminary examina-
ton was set for December 20 by Justice
Ling.
1t is claimed by Ryan that Edwards
got the horses for $100 and a note for
$500, representing that he was well able
to pay the note, as he owned a large
ranch at San Jacinto. Investigation,
says Ryan, disproves the latter asser-
tion. The animals, it is said, were later
sold by Edwards at auction.

to the legitimate advertising of Los

which you are connected"
Similar expressions are given to the
committee by prominent business men.
Among these was the opinion of Stod-
dard Jess, former chairman of the Los
Angeles consolidation committee, which
so successfully managed the harbor
campaign, and vice president of the
First National bank.
THE Aviation week events will at
tract widespread attention to Los An
geles," said Mr.. Jess to H. e. Hunting

of the committee which called on the
banks, land will bring a great influx of
people to the city. The advertising is
of a different sort from that yielded by
conventions like that of the Elks, but
is none the less important, Through
the reports of the aviation events in
January thousands of persons will read
about the city. Los Angeles Is one of
the best advertised cities in the coun-
try. due largely to the civic spirit of
its people, and this is one of the city's
