OYSTER COCKTAILS CHANGE
BACK FROM FOOD TO DRINK
City Attorney GuesSes Again and
ReSCindS Order to Restaurants

You may order an oyster cocktail
over the bar or at the soda fountain
today without fear that the proprietors
of either will be forced into the res
taurant business.
The city attorney has said so and
countermanded an order issued early
yesterday to the police to stop the
sales of the oyster cocktail over bars
and at fountains.
Attorney Frank Dominguez appeared
before City Attorney John Shenk yes
terday in behalf of big manufacturer
of the beverage-fO with the state
ment that if oyster cocktails were
food then sherry would have to go
without the egg, milk without the malt,
Tom without the jerry nuts without
the sundae and bananas without the
ice cream. Thus would the matinee
girl be deprived of her favorite dishes
and the ice cream soda man put out of
business.
The city attorney unused over the
matter for a moment and counter
manded the order, with the statement
that before cocktails were stopped over
the bar the case would have to be
tested in the supreme court.

WOMAN KNEELS TO GIVE
AID; Thief Gets PURSE
Wife Draws $100; Takes Water
to Aged Man in Faint; Is
Robbed in Crowd

Within five minutes after she had
der yesterday afternoon Mrs. Flossie
Garrison of 1413 North Broadway was
robbed of the money while in the act
of giving a drink of water to an aged
man who had tainted at Fifth and
Broadway A small red purse contain
ing the money, in gold pieces, was
taken, from her pocket by some one in
the crowd that pressed about her as
she assisted the stricken man.
Mrs. Garrison discovered her loss as
she was leaving the crowd and began
screaming. Several policemen in the
vicinity hurried to the scene and had
considerable difficulty in handling the
crowd as it surged about the corner.
Mrs. Garrison reported the matter to
Captain Planners Office and a detec-
tive accommodatinsly loaned her
cents for carfare.
The woman had wired her husband,
P. c. Garrison of Dalton, Tex, earlier
in the day to send her $780, which he
Immediately did. She cashed the tele-
graphic order at the Postal Telegraph
office and was on her way to a drug
store at Fifth and Broadway when she
saw the aged man fall. Running to
drinking fountain she procured glass
of water and pressing through the
crowd knelt at his side while sho
gave him a drink.
The money she had slipped carelessly
into a side coat pocket, and the police
believe some one may have followed
her from the telegraph office and while
she was ministering to the stricken
man taken it from her pocket.
Mrs. Garrison said yesterday that
she would gladly pay half of the
money to any one who would return it
and ask no questions.

GIRL WHO LOVES DANCING
AND NOODLES Is MISSING
Mother Asks Police to Help Her
Find Daughter of II

If officers of the local police depart
ment see a young girl who is inor-
dinately fond of dancing and Chinese
noodles they are directed to report the
case to headquarters in order that the
anxious mother of the girl may be nOti-
fed.
Since December l Elizabeth Lee, II
years old, daughter of Mrs. H. Lee,
living at 4121a Grand View, has been
missing from her home. Except that
the girl is much given to seeking a
good time," the mother is unable to
account for her daughters disappear
ance.
The girl had until recently been en-
ployed as a telephone operator in the
city. The San Diego police have also
been notified of her disappearance, as it
is thought she might have gone to that
city.
IF my daughter cannot be recognized
by her clothing and general appear
ance she should easily be identified by
her fondness for dancing and noodles"
Mrs. Lee told the local police last night.

POLICE PROBE BIC
ART COLLEGE FIRE
Silver Plate and Other ValuableS
Missing Cause Suspicion
of Burglary

The origin of the mysterious fire
which destroyed the College of Fine
Arts at Pasadena avenue and Arroyo
Seco at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, entailing loss of more than $22,-
900 and imperiling the lives of eight
girl students, their matron and the
dean of the college, Professor William
L. Judson, is being investigated by de-
tectives.
A search of the ruins yesterday af-
ternoon failed to reveal any trace of
nearly $1,000 worth of silver plate Pro-
fessor Judson had stored in the build
ing and of other valuables he is known
to have kept in his apartments This
fact has given rise to the suspicion that
burglars robbed the college and burned
the building in an effort to conceal all
traces of their crime. Indications that
the fire did not start from the pottery
kiln, as first supposed, supports the
theory.
1t was a matter of common knowl-
edge for several days prior to the fire
that Professor Judson, the matron and
students expected to be absent from. the
building Thursday night and the police
are inclined to believe that robbery
was planned with the idea that no per-
sons would be sleeping in the building
on the night the crime was to have
taken place.
Those interested in the investigation
declare that the first report which
gained circulation to the effect that the
fire broke out in the chimney leading
from the kiln in which pottery had been
placed the night before is erroneous.
THROW DRESSES FROM WINDOWS
The first intimation the students had
of the fire was when they were awak-
ened by volumes of smoke that poured
into their dormitory and for while
threatened to block their progress in
seeking an escape down the stairs. The
girl students, as they scampered from
their beds and ran down the hall ways
barefooted and thinly clad, aroused
Mrs Alta w. Anderson, the matron,
and the dean of the college.
Some of the girls halted long enough
To throw their pretty dresses from the
windows of the bedrooms or to rescue
their paintings, in which they took
great pride.
Miss Signe Hallquist paused long
enough in her fight to drag her trunk
to a window and throw it into the
street, where it struck with a crash
that wrecked it and scattered the con-
tents.
The students were Misses Olive and
Hazel Prester, Florence Sergeant,
Mary Weaver, Ira Connor, Clara Crone-
wetter, Marguerite Vignes and Signe
Hallquist.
The loss is estimated at $21 900, of
which $4,000 is on the building, $4,000
on the paintings and $1,000 in furni-
ture and personal property.
Mrs. Nell Brooker lost fifteen paint
ings, Mrs. Helma H. jain two, and
Orley S. Tottenham seven water
colors.

series of unfair play" and recrim-
nations filled the air at the Los An
geles Cat club exhibition at Pantages
theater yesterday. Dissatisfaction with
the awarding of prizes was expressed,
many of the members of the club as
sertlng that Mrs. C. 70. S. DeBlin, judge
of the show, used old-fashioned
methods in fulfilling her duties Mrs
Colcock Jones of 102 South Occidental
boulevard fatty refused to accept the
rulings and returned the ribbons
awarded her two cats, accompanying
the act with a letter of expostulation
In this letter Mrs. Jones stated that
she returned the third prize ribbon
awarded Traddles, No. 2, in class one,
and a second prize ribbon awarded
Dolly Darling, No. 81, classes 81 and
60, first, because the application she
made for a specific cage was turned
down for one made at Q much later
late; second, that she considered the
ejudging unfair because the cats were
not removed from their cages and
closely examined. but that the inspec-
tion was made through the bars by a
Judge who, having broken her own eye
glasses before the meeting began,
hastily borrowed some one else's
glasses to use in executing her duties;
that the lighting arrangements We're
and, finally, that earlier in the game,
before her ribbons were awarded, she
had made up her mind to present a
protest on general principles for the
porpose of protecting all the exhibitors
from the unfair methods employed
"UNJUST, UNFAIR, TNHEARD OF"
Mrs. Jones further states in her let
ter that the unjust, unfair and un-
heard of method Of judging animals"
could never obtain at any other ami
maa show in any other part of the
country.
Mrs. C. e. S. DeBlin, when asked
about the protests registered, declared:
st have no opinion concerning them.
I have discussed them with no one
and shall continue to ignore them. My
duty in this affair is to judge the cats
not the owners. There are always
some few people who are discontented
with the decisions made at any exhibit,
and all one can do is to be oblivious
to Them
Mrs. C. D. Weston, show manager,
declared that the women of the club
would pay no attention to the letter.
"As every applicant signed an appli-
cation blank waving all right to ques-
ton the decisions Of the judges 1 do
not see on Just what grounds Mrs.
Jones is taking her stand. We shall
pay no attention to the, matter"
Another source of excitement at the
exhibition yesterday was the disappear
ance of Fuzzy, a beautiful silver neu-
ter belonging to Mrs. Zoe 3. Fuller,
142 South Union avenue. Some one
opened his cage in the morning for a
few moments and Fuzzy was missing
when his owner appeared. Whether
the animal was stolen or has slipped
out to join the back fence concerts
of his less aristocratic brothers is an
open question.
The gate receipts have been so sat

OCCIDENTAL FUND
REACHES $4,000.
Two Friends Add $4,000 to
Subscriptions for New
College Buildings

An additional gift of $4,000 to Occi
dental college has just been announced
by John Willis Baer, president. This
brings the quarter centennial fund for
new buildings for the college up to
$4,000.
The announcement of the gift was
made to the students and alumni of the
college at the annual dinner at the Y.
M. c. A. building last night. The names
of the donors are concealed behind the
nondescript 1.-TWO friends.
Even with this large sum on hand,
the trustees have decided not to begin
work on the new buildings until more
funds are obtained, but 1t was stated
by President Baer that the college
hopes to celebrate the quarter centen-
nial by opening the college work in at
least two new buildings on the new
Eagle Rock compus.
Another announcement of Importance
attended the annual dinner. This was
the statement of President Baer that
the academy which has been a part of
Occidental college since it's inception
will be discontinued. The end will not
come abruptly, however, and the ter
mination of the preparatory school will
not be made for two years. The acad-
emy will continue until next June with
out change, but no new first year stu
dents will be accepted. Next September
the two upper classes of the academy
will be taken into the college.
The reason for disseminating the
academy, as announced by President
Baer, is the fact that the attendance
has not been such as to warrant the
maintenance of a high-grade prepara-
tory school.
When the upper classes are taken into
the college the academy building Will
be turned into a gymnasium, and will
be used as such during the remainder
of the time that the college occupies the
Highland Park campus.
The study hall of the academy build
ing. SOx90 feet. will be used as a basket
ball court and will also serve for stu
dent social and athletic headquarters.
Some of the class rooms will be used
for offices. Another feature to be in
stituted when this change is made next
fall will be the establishment of cafe
terra for students in the basement of
the academy building, where the pres
ent gymnasium is located.

things-they don't get the care or pet

SPANIARD AND JAPANESE
RUN TO CONSTABLE'S ARMS
Castilian Held by Police on SuS-
picion of Holdup

Ricardo Eschverria, who claims to
be a native Spaniard, sped down
Turner street last night, shouting at
the top of his voice in pure Castilian.
A few yards in front of him ran 1.
Tacunida, a Japanese, who was doing
his share of yelling in his own tongue.
Suddenly both men ran into the arms
of Deputy Constable Street and the
shouting stopped.
Eschverria tried to explain matters
to the constable in Spanish and Ia
cunida tried to talk in Japanese. Since
Street could understand neither tongue
he took both men to central police
station, where they told their griev
ances with the aid of interpreters.
This man owed me $5,' said the
Spaniard, land l tried to collect the
debt. Instead of paying me he ran.
OF course 1 ran after him.

WILL PLEAD HER OWN CASE

Because she lost faith in attorneys,
Mary L. Clark will plead her own case
in Justice Pierce's court, in which the
customary and reasonable fee charged
by attorneys for securing a divorce
will be decided. Evidence in the case
was taken yesterday.
The suit was brought about following
quarrel between Mrs. Clark and her
attorney, II. II. Heath. whom she had
secured to institute divorce proceed
ings in the superior court. The plain
tiff alleges Heath agreed to do the
work for a fee of $40, but presented a
bill for $3.50.
