WOMAN SHOOTS THROUGH
WINDOW ATfNIGHT PR0WLER

Believing somet mysterious person is
trying to harm her, Mrs. Margaret
Reardon, who lives at Winter and
Hicks streets, in the eastern section of
the Boyle Heights district, has appealed
to both the police department and the
sheriffs office to investigate the cir
cumstances attending a visit to her
home by a mysterious man Monday
night shortly after o'clock.
Mrs. Reardon asserts that she was
alone with her son, who is years Of
age, when she heard noises indicating
that an attempt was being made to
open window. She seized revolver
and fired a number of shots, but missed
the burglar. Waiting half an hour, she
then went to a neighbor's home and
notified the east side police station. A
motorcycle policeman was sent to the
scene, but did not find the burglar. The
following morning footprints were dis
covered beneath a bedroom window.
Yesterday B4Rs. Reardon told Deputy
Sheriff Wright of the attempt to break
into her home. She said that her neigh
bors have seen a man acting strangely
in the neighborhood. Some of them be-
lieve, she says, that he is the person
responsible for recent attacks on
women and their escorts. c. P. Tuttle,
a neighbor, last might substantiated her
statement that a man had been seen
prowling about the neighborhood.

WHEATLEY RETIRES FROM
CONSOLIDATED LUMBER
General Manager of Corporation
Since Its Organization to
Enter Oil Business

W. T. Wheatley, who has been gem
Der company from the time of its or
ganization has resigned that office and
will retire from that company and be-
come vice president and director Of the
Midway Five Oil company, in which
Mr. Wheatley is interested. Mr.. Wheat
ley is yell known throughout the Paci-
fic coast as one of it's most efficient
lumber men.
The Consolidated Lumber company
was organized in 1906, and arose out Of
consolidation of the Southwestern Lum-
ber company and other lumber COM
panies of Los Angeles and vicinity.
The organization was through the et-
forts of Mr.. Wheatley, who had been
with the Charles Nelson company OF
San Francisco for a great many years.
Under Mr Wheatley's excellent man
agement, interests of the Consolidated
Lumber company have grown until to-
day 1t is one of the largest lumber
companies in California. 1t handles
annually through its yard at winning
ton and it's Los Angeles general office

Mr.. Wheatley has developed the lum-
Der company with every possible mod
ern convenience for handling it's busl-
ness. in the most economical and profit
able manner, and serves It's numerous
patrons with the greatest possible speed
and efficiency.
The harbor lines at Wilmington, So
called, were established on July %, 1908,
and through the efforts of Mr.. Wheat
ley the Consolidated Lumber company
procured 200 acres of land, located on
Wilmington harbor, and have dredgeo
q channel some $500 feet long, with a
depth Of 1874 feet at mean low water
and a width of 200 feet, with turning
basin at the upper end of the channel

This channel enables the Consolidated
to handle it's lumber directly from the
ships and to save large expense there-
by, and ships have been brought two
miles nearer to Los Angeles by the
above channel.

BILL MISS ELLINGTON
FOR LOCAL ENGAGEMENT
leading Woman of Until Eternity
Forms Stage Name from a
Geographical Location

1t was in the year 1901 that theater-
goers in New York saw the part OF
the gypsy girl in 1.-THE Pride of Jen-
nico" being played with much fire and
dash by a young woman who was set
down on the program as Maude Light.
Next week the theatergoers of Los
Angeles will see the role of a woman
who has suffered deeply, in Until
Eternity" being played at the Majestic
theater by Miss Margaret Ellington.
The two actresses are the same per-
son. In nine years this young woman
has risen from obscurity to the position
of one of the foremost women of the
American stage.
Miss Illingtons real name then was
Maude Light, but when she was pro-
NOTED to the second important lady
in that same company, and even still
shorter time before she was doing the
princess, which was the leading female
role, whenever Bertha Galland was out
of the cast, it did not take this young
novice very long to learn that the
other players all were, more or less,
using stage names, so the idea oc-
CURED to Miss Light that perhaps she,
too should adopt a MON de theater."
But what shall I call MYSELF" she
inquired.
ADOPTS GEOGRAPHICAL NAME
That question was finally answered
when forthwith some inventive mind
took the name of her native state,
Illinois, and her home town, Blooming
ton, and out of this geographical com
bination formed Ellington, pref1Xlng
Margaret for euphony.
From THE Pride of Jennico" play
Miss Ellington passed to the stock
company at Days theater, appearing
in "FrOcks and I'rills," and later at
the same playhouse she played Fleur
de Lis in "Notre Dame"
r. H. Sothern next claimed Miss IL
lington's services in "1f I were King, -
and she took the place of Cecilia Lof-
tus, who was the leading woman, when
that actress fell i'll. Another important
engagement was in "A japanese Night
ingale," which was also given at Daly's
theater She was engaged to play
Henriette in the all-star cast revival
Of THE Two Orphans" at the New
Amsterdam theater, New York. in 1904.
That same year she created the lead
ing role in Arthur w. Pineros play,
"a Wife Without q Smile" This was
followed by her appearance in the role
of Mrs. Leffingwell in Augustus Thorn
as comedy, Mrs. Leffingwell's Boots" ="
Other roles played by Miss Ellington
include her appearances in 1.-THE Lion
and the Mouse" during its long run in
Chicago and at the Duke Of York S
theater, London, with John Drew In
His House in Order" and in 1.-THE
Thief" the play in which she was ap-
pearing at the time of her breakdown
in health two years ago which brought
about her temporary retirement from
stage work

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
DISPOSAL OF WATER
Citv Will Have 10000 Surplus
Inches to Enrich $4,000
Acres Contiguous
continued from Pare ous'


only q scattering portion of the inhab-
itants or of the land in a district the
distribution system will have to be as
extensive and almost as expensive as
if it were built to serve the ehtlre
area, thus involving an improper eN-
penditure and an undue burden on
those using or supplying the water.
"As the area contiguous to the city
unon which the water may be applied
is greater than that which the water
available can adequately serve, and as
il is important to the city TO promptly
market it's water and obtain revenues
therefrom, it will be economically
nroper to hold in reserve water Tor
land not promptly paying for 1t, which
land would be greatly benefited there
from in a speculative way and wlthouF
cost Such a procedure would prop@
ahlv prevent other districts which are
willing to promptly pay for water from
being supplied at all. Nor would II
be fair to permit one living IN q as
trict. who is subsequently willing TO
nav tn afterward take a portion of
the water previously bought by MS
neighbor. a..
trict is supplied with water, both the
distribution system and the amount
Of water therefor must be ample toI
the entire area, then some plan shoul9
be devised for dealing with ORGANIZED
districts having power to contract WIN
the city under the federal state anu
municipal laws
walter J. Trask, who also discussed
legal phases of the matter, suggesteu
that to remove any doubt that the CITY
could regain any water 1t might lease
should the city want 1T, condltlons
should be put in the contract that the
fglz hi
the city needed the water. He also re-
ferred to the formation of water dis
tricts and declared that it would be a
good plan to have the territory that
was to be supplied with water within
the city limits before the water was
distributed.
Leslie r. Hewitt, former city attor-
new and now special counsel for the
harbor. was of the opinion that the ter
ritory to be served with water should
be that adjacent to the city and cap
able of absorption by annexation. He
declared ii was the duty of the city Of
fcials who distributed the surplus TO
put such safeguards in the contracts so
that when the water was required by
public necessity it could be taken back.
The ultimate solution of the problem,
he declared, would depend on these
safeguards.
O 70. Parish, representing the Los
Angeles realty board, declared ne
would never favor disposing of the
water to consumers outside the city at
the same rate Los Angeles had to pay
to bring it here. He said the city
should get all it could from this sur
plus. rr,
Another meeting will be held Thurs
day night, and the program committee
asked the various civic organizations to
send representatives to discuss the
question. The chamber of commerce,
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
tion, Municipal league and Labor coun-
ell were invited to speak Thursday.
w. B. Mathews, attorney for the aque-
duct, will lead the discussion. After
Thursday night it is planned to hold

ELEVATOR MAN ON

Bandit Holds Revolver While Pal
Robs Operator in Crowd
ed P. E. Building
SECURE ONLY SIX CENTS
Police Hurry to Scene, but Rob-
bers Escape by Rear Exits.
Took Desperate Chance
SECURE ONLY SIX CENTS

While more than q hundred persons
were passing In and out of the Pacific
Electric building at Sixth and Main
streets shortly before IL o'clock last
night two highwaymen entered the
elevator, pressed revolvers to the head
of John Janwick, an elevator operator,
Just before the second floor was
reached, and robbed him of cents.
The robbery is one of the most dar-
in that have come to the notice OF the
police recently. The bandits-both at
tired in dark clothing and wearing
black derby hats-entered the build
ing, walked to the one elevator that
was in operation at that time and
were taken upward. Almost immedi-
ately one of the men pressed a re-
volver to the head of the operator and
commanded him to hand over his
money. Before the latter could comply
the second robber drew revolver ana
placed 1t against the head of the VIC
tim and warned him against making
an outcry.
Janwick stopped The cage at the sec
ond floor landing and threw up has
hands at the orders of the two men.
While one of the robbers held a pistol
to his head the ether man searched
him. They found only nickel and
penny. Warming him to keep quiet,
floor, hurried down the corridor and
made their escape by a rear entrance
on the Los Angeles street side of the
building.
The frightened elevator operator no
titled the night watrhman, who in turn
communicated with the police. A doz-
en- officers in the auto patrol hurried to
the scene, but were delayed when a
tire of the auto blew out while the
driver was making q sharp turn at
Fifth street and broadway to avoid a
collision with a street car.
A careful search was made of all
floors Of the building, but no trace of
the robbers could Lc found.
AS soon as the robbery was reported
to him Alexander c. Vignes, station
master, placed guards at all exits in
an effort to apprehend the men.
The detectives are unable to under
stand why the robbers held up the ele-
vator operator, and say that the men
probably are amateurs and took the
desperate chances, believing that the
victim had recently received his month
ly wages and had the money with him.
