SELL CARNATIONS TO
AID CAUSE OF CHARITY
Beach Girls and Club Women Get
Money to Support Hos.
pitaI Ward

OCEAN PARK, Sept. 21.-Prominent
club women and pretty beach girls
sold several thousand carnations to-
day to raise money for the associa-
ton which supports a free ward at the
Santa Monica Bay hospital. The
flower sellers were stationed at almost
every corner in Santa Monica, Ocean
Park, Venice and Sawtelle. Each pas
serby was approached and very few
escaped without buying at least one
carnation. The flowers served as tags,
and never in the history Of the beach
have so many of one species been
worn at the same time.
Walter Armacost, a local florist, to-
day turned over the conduct of his
store to the association, and during
the day we'll known society leaders
stood behind the counters and disposed
of cut flowers to the public. Among
these temporary flower clerks were
Mrs. r. c. Gill, Mrs. c. H. Ritchie,
Mrs. E. M. Grigsby and Mrs. II. b.
Eakins. This evening 1t was an
nounced that the florist shop did one
of the best business days in its his
tory.
Included in the list OF other workers
for this cause were Mrs. George II.

FIND COTTON MAN GUILTY
OF ASSAULTING WOMAN

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 21.-J. A
Magill, former night watchman of Col
ton, who was on trial for attacking
woman, was today found guilty of as
sault, the simplest charge on which
he could be convicted. The jury, 1t is
said, on the first ballot stood IL to l
for conviction of the offense charged.
The lone juror hung out and at II
o'clock this morning made an offer OF
a. compromise to vote for conviction
for assault. The other members of the
jury consented.
The case had an international as
pect for the reason that the Mexican
government insisted on the prosecu-
tion of Magill for an offense alleged 10
have been committed by him against
a Mexican woman of Cotton. Consul
Lozano of Los Angeles directed the
prosecution and retained two attor-
neys to assist the district attorney.
Attorney r. e. Bledsoe, who rep
resented Magill, moved for new trial.
The case was continued until Monday.
The charge against Magill grew from
an investigation started by the city
trustees of Cotton and his subsequent
acuuittal on the complaint made by
Mexicans. He then swore to COM
plant against the Mexican who made
the complaint, charging him with as
sault The case was dropped and at
this point the MeXicon government IN
terested itself.

SAY HARRY RHEINSTROM
: HAS INSANE DELUS|ONS
Former AngeIeno and Husband of
Edna Lotus Held by
Oakland Police

OAKLAND, Sept 21.-Harry Rhein-,
stron, son of a wealthy Cincinnati
family, was taken in charge by the
police today and will be examined to-
morrow as to his sanity.
Rheinstrom is suffering from the de-
lusion that someone is trying to poison
him. He has been afraid to eat for
several days.
Mrs. Rheinstrom, who was Edna
Lotus, an actress, called a physician
today to attend her husband. The
physician arranged to take the young
man to a hospital, but while he was
ont of the house Rheinstrom ran to
the police station and asked the police
to protect him.
The Rheinstroms left Los Angeles a
few weeks ago, ostensibly en- route to
Cincinnati, where the young man was
to seek his mothers forgiveness FOR
having married Edna Loftus against
her wishes Statements were made at
the time the young man took the ac-
tress as his bride that his mother had
disinherited him, and that she even
tried to have his sanity investigated in
an effort to prevent the wedding.
The Rheinstroms came to Los An
e,eles with the avoWed intention of liv-
ing the simple life here and proving
that they merited forgiveness and fin
ancial encouragement from the bride
groom's mother They took bunga%
low in the Boyle Heights district, and
while the former actress, garbed In a
neat bingham dress and a spotless ap-
ron. busted herself with household
tasks, her husband tried to break the
stubborn soil
Both grew tired of the plain life they
were leading, however, and began to
long for the frills again. The lights of
far-distant Broadway ever twinkled
more alluringly as the days went by
and finally they decided to go east and
press their appeal for forgiveness in

LAKE AVENUE TRACKING
EVOKES SHARP LETTERS
Pacific Electric Official Answered
by C. H. Parker and
Harry Geohegan

PASADENA, Sept. 22.-Charles H.
Parker president of the Pasadena
Lake Vineyard Land and Water COM
pany, in an open letter made public
yesterday attacks General Manager
Mcmillan of the Pacific Electric rail-
way in the controversy as to who is
responsible for the delay In complet-
ing the work of double tracking South
Lake avenue and paving the thorough
fare between Colorado and California
streets. He says in part:
1.-THE real facts in the situation nave
been grossly nlisrepresented by Mr.
Mcmillan. He states that the water
company held up the Pacific Electric
railroad for a good part of the expense
of removing our pipe from its position
and installing a new one. In announcer
paragraph of his letter he says that
the Pacific Electric had to stand one
half Of the expense of making the
change. The railroad paid us not one
half but only $500, which is not one
fourth of the expense, and that, TOO,
arising from no condition brought
about by the water company, but sole
ly for the benefit of the railroad people
"And in addition to that, the ran
road gang continued it's work uninter-
was engaged in its work, so it is not
true that the water company delayed
the work Also he is equally mistaken
in the dates he gives. The water
company put on large force and had
their work completed before June TO-
the date he gives as the beginning
of our work"
Harry Geohegan, president of the
board Of trade, writing as an indl-
ole aXHPnflOn
Mr. McMillan's letter. He writes in
part:
"The Pacific Electric agreed to push
through with. dispatch all this work
This agreement was made in April.
Now. let us take Mr.. McMillan's own
dates. He says he received authority
to go ahead with his work on May o,
and that a few days later he sent the
laboring gang over to do the work.
Thus far think he was trying to carry
out the terms of his agreement.
"But the railroad must have gone
away and celebrated the unusual ana
novel discovery of a water main IN
the street, for the whole outfit disap-
peared from the face of Lake avenue
a few days later. The water company
completed it's job by June 10. and
shortly after that the railroad gangs
made their appearance again. We, the
people of Lake avenue, were made
glad. but after working a few days
they disappeared and we have been
looking for them without success. For
two long months we have been unable
to find anything that looks like gang
of laborers.
During the few days they were with
us they constructed the east tracks.
They were put way down in hollow.
The old tracks on the west side of the
street are way up in the air, and when
the tourist arrives during the winter
months we will have another freak to
point out to them-namely: the two
story street railroad in South Lake
avenue" - "A !
