PROBABILITY OF STORM
FROM NORTH IS PULLING
Weather Bureau Is Watching for Tail
End of Blizzard to Strike
Los Angeles

VIII the storm now approaching the north
Pacific coast pass inland, leaving Los Angeles
and Southern California untouched or will the
tail end of the blizzard slap as it passes
and give us a couple of days of showers? This
is the question which is puzzling the local
weather bureau and which is of vital in
terest to the Elks and other winter tourists
visiting in Southern California
The farmer now has had so much rain that
he will cease to be considered by the general
public for a time. Everyone wants sunshine
and is tired of the continual drizzle and
Geluge.
The storm lowering off the north coast Of the
Pacific is still reported far out to sea, but is
drawing nearer to the coast, and its influence
felt last night in the northern coast states.
The large, high pressure area, covering the
entire coast Of California is expected to cause
fair weather To-Day with perhaps a slight
cloudiness due to the storm lowering off the
northwest
The rainfall to date is 14O5 inches, as com
pared with 1051 inches for last season at the
same date. The seasonal average of 1864 has
almost been reached and probably will be con-
siderably exceeded before the winter is over.

DANFORD'S WIFE
GIVES EVIDENCE
CLAIMS SHE HAS OVERHEARD
DAMAGING STATEMENTS
Woman Who Paid $4,000 Fee Pro-
foundIy Observation-Disclosures
Says He Was Fighting
Blackmail

Mrs. William J. Danford, wife of the attor-
ney contesting disbarment proceedings
brought against him by the Los Angeles Bar
association, was a witness in her husband
behalf in the superior court yesterday. Mrs.
Danford said the role of detective was thrust
on her by circumstances, and that witnesses
against her husband had unwittingly, and
while ignorant of her identity, made state
ments which, she believed, would aid Danford.
These she repeated on the stand
Mrs. Catherine L. Smith, who charged Dan
ford with accepting $1,000 to represent her in a
criminal case in the United States district
court, in which he is not entitled to practice,
oNuld not conceal her astonishment when Mrs.
Danfords name was called and tall woman
arose from the group of which Mrs. Smith
was the center and made her way to the
witness chair. Other members of the party
were equally surprised.
Il came in simply to listen to the testi-
mony,' Mrs. Danford said. Mrs. Lena Hayes,
Mrs. Smiths stepdaughter, spoke to me while
her stepmother was on the stand, saying she
believed the witness becoming confused.
1 said it too bad, and asked her who
were Mrs. Smiths attorneys. She said John
done work for her before Mr.. Danford was
retained last year, and that John North, who
is in the district attorneys office, made col
lections for her stepmother."
Says Office Collects Debts
Mrs. Danford said she expressed seurprise
when told this, but Mrs. Hayes stated the dis
trict attorneys office had collection bureau
which was run on the side and the existence
of which was not generally known
Mrs. Hayes also told me that Mrs. Smith
had been told by Stevens and North, conduct
ing the prosecution in the disbarment proceed
ings, to stick to her statements, whether true
or false concluded Mrs. Danford
1t is claimed by Danford that part of the
money received from Mrs. Smith was for
services in other matters other than the GRIM
inal action pending in the federal court, in
which she is charged with illegally using the
mails. Certain persons, according to Danford,
were trying to blackmail Mrs. Smith last year
account of her alleged connection with a
criminal operation Elizabeth Myers, which,
he indicated by his questions, resulted in
death. 1t to prevent this extortion he
contends that the money was given him. Mrs.
Smith, however, denied all knowledge of the
young woman.
Oscar Lawler, United States district attor-
ney, said he protested in May, last year.
against DanfOrd's admission to practice in the
United States court, and that Danford had
never been admitted to practice there. The
hearing will be resumed today.

Queer things happen at fres,"

day the lace curtains caught on fire
IN an east side home, and there
was some panic while the fire lasted,

imported cook out in the kitchen
to hustle in with a dishpan or
two Of water. But she didn't arrive
on the scene until somebody had
pulled down the curtains and tram
pied out the flames.
why didn't you hurry they
asked her reproachfuIly.
Hurry she repeated. Wasn't

hot water in the dishpan when you

For Family Reasons.

1t is characteristic of philoso-
pliers and scholars that once their
mind is made up it is almost i'm
possible to change it. They do not
want it changed. The late Charles
Eliot Norton, in his lectures on the
history of art, is credited with a
story illustrating this point. Nal
lock, the philosopher, once met
Thomas Carlyle.
Malock was a v1seman, but he
and Carlyle differed in their views,
and therefore CarlyS4 dubbed NAL
locks opinions false and pernicious.
When Mallock called on Carlyle he
talked in his fluent way for two
straight hours.
Then he rose to go. At the door
Carlyle, who had smoked the whole
time in grim silence, took his pipe
from his mouth and said mildly:
"Weel, goodbv. Mr.. Mallock. I'ye
received re kindly because 1 knew
yer mither, but | never want TO set
eyes on ye again"
