SMITHS WIN 1910
DIRECTORY FEUD
Browns and Jones Follow Close
on the Heels of Victorious
Family

The annual Smith-Jones-Brown di-
rectory feud for 1910 is over and r c.
Devereaux, manager of the Los An
geles Directory, has awarded the de-
cision to the Smiths. According to the
new book there are more Smiths In
Los Angeles than Browns and more
Browns than Jones. Brown and Jones
will, consequently, flip coin to see
who sets 'em UP for Smith.
The new Los Angeles City Directory,
on which the work of compilation has
been under way for nearly a year, will
be ready for distribution probably next
Wednesday or Thursday, says Mr.,
Devereaux.
The new directory will be more ex-
tensive than any previous edition. II
will contain $50 pages more than the
directory OF 1909. 1t will contain the
names and addresses of 333,7SS per-
sons, as compared with 307, 1922 names in
last years directory.
This number cannot be taken as a
criterion Of the population of Los An
geles, as 1t represents not only the
persons who sleep and live in Los An
geles, but those who are actively en-
gagged in business in Los Angeles but
have suburban homes IN Pasadena, AL
hambra and other adjacent cities
For this reason the figures of the
new directory will not correspond with
those of the United States census, and,
according to Mr.. Devereaux, may be
10000 more than the figures of the
United States census takers.
The directory has been improved In
every way, and the classification has
been arranged on more systematic
basis. Space has been condensed.
The paper used in the new directory
is of a finer texture, and the book
gives more detailed information than
hitherto. The covers of the new book
will be a light gray.
The delivery of the books has beer
delayed on account Of the number of
business changes, but it was deemed
advisable to await the near completion
of number Of large buildings, that a
more definite business reference edition
might be issued.
The appendix shows changes too late
to have been enumerated in the body
of the book.
A new feature is the index, which
affords a ready reference as to the
location Of streets.
Special attention has been given to
the cross references Of names, which
precedes those names that are fire.

BEVERLY HILLS TRACT
APPEALING TO BUYERS

Prominent among the many beautiful
suburban home tracts which form the
nucleus around which local real
estate activity revolves is the Beverly
Hills tract. Situated between Los An
geles and the sea, the picturesque old
Rancho de Redeo del Aguas is being
improved in many ways. In addition
to the many new and beautiful resi-
dences which now are being built is
a main sewerage system, which soon
will be in operation. One Of the unique
features of the tract, and one which
possibly no other can boast, is an
ironclad restriction against boring for
oil on adjoining acreage. A number of
these lots have been sold by the Percy
H. Clark company within the past few
days and more deals probably will be
negotiated this week.

FORMALLY DEDICATE ANNEX
TO YOUNG WOMEN'S HOME
Salvation Army Plan for Work
ers Is Literally Supported

Commissioner Thomas Estill. COM
mander of the Salvation Army west Of
Chicago, formally dedicated the annex
to the Young Women's Boarding Home
in South Hope street yesterday after
noon. An excellent program had been
prepared by the members Of the Poin-
settia club, an organization for educa-
tional and social advantages In the
home.
The home, under the auspices of the
Salvation Army, was erected last year
for the purpose of providing comfor-
table and safe quarters for young
women in business in the city whose
parents reside elsewhere. 1t Is entirely
self supporting, even though IL often
accommodates young women whose
salaries are small.
The home filled such need In Los
Angeles and became so popular that
within a few weeks after 1t was opened
the rooms were all occupied and
number of persons were waiting for
accommodations. This condition has
existed throughout the year, and to
supply the demand 1t was necessary
to erect an addition to the building,
which will accommodate thtrty-hve
persons.
The Poinsettia club, composed OF
many of the occupants of the house,
has enjoyed lecture course during the
year and among the speakers have
been Judge Curtis D. Wilbur, Mrs. Kate
Waller Barrett OF the Florence Crit
tenton home. the Rev. J. Whitcomb
Brougher and Rev. J. R. Pratt. Be-
sides these lectures there have been
socials each month during the year ana
members of the club have prepared the
programs. This evening the June So
cial will be given at the home, and TINS
will be the last affair until after the
summer vacation.

PRAYERS RID STATE OF
FIGHT, SAYS REV. LOCKE
Many Ministers Are Present at
Pacific Coast Conference
of Christian Workers

at think there is nothing greater
than prayer 1t is my opinion that il
was the prayers of the Christian peo-
pie that caused Governor Gillett to
stop the prize fight in our state.
do not think that he was the arrant
coward he was represented to be
While he may have been somewhat
slow, his actions were finally all
right"
These were the expressions of Rev,
Charles Edward Locke at the opening
of the Christian Workers conference
for the Pacific coast states last night
at the Bible institute. DR.. Locke spoke
on the subject, THE New Heroism and
It's Shibboleth."
Character is the fine art of giving
up" said DIR. Locke. ''I have no rights
that trespass on the rights of another
person. The only way to truly serve
Christ is to go out and work for the
good of humanity.
This world is mans chance, and
man makes his career. Have proper
care of your dress leading up to your
character, for you are entitled to your
share in this world.
1--WE should not belong to those who
beat nor to the class to be beaten. Man
must have faith in himself with the
humility that means success. 1t is
very unfortunate when a man loses
his self-respect. Selfishness is far diff
ferent, which is suicide.
my advice is for each young man
to follow a trail that has been made
by some other good man. Do not seek
for happiness, but seek for usefulness
and the happiness will follow"
The speakers today will include Rev.
#. C. Horton, Rev. R. A. Haddon, Rev.
]. R. Platt, Rev A. B. Prichard and
Rev. Hugh w. Gilchrist. The latter

JOHNSON PUTS MACHINE
IN SHOPS; MAY Do WORK
Rickard Calls Big Smoke to Ac-
count and Sends Auto
to Be Painted

SAN FRANCISCO. June 13.-Jack
Johnson will forego his automobile for
the balance of the training season.
Tomorrow both of his racing cars are
to go into the paint shop to be touched
up, and they will not be ready for use
before the first of July.
1t was in response to a request from
Tex Rickard that the champion re-
luctantly agreed to drop the only
pastime that he thoroughly enjoys
Rickard has, as reward for this
promise, agreed to allow Johnson the
use of his machine whenever 1t is de-
sired, but 1t is part OF the pact that
the black man Is not to touch the
wheel.
Look here" said Rickard on the oc-
casion of his last trip to the Seal Rock
house, you've just got to stop driving
your automobile around so much.
There are too many chances that you
would hurt yourself. You might do 1t
cranking up the machine or in driving
the car. We cannot afford to take any
of these chances"
Johnson admitted that he saw the
force of the argument, but pleaded
that he had no other source of amuse-
ment and that he wasn't a careless
driver.
II don't care how good driver you
are" retorted Rickard, there are al
ways chances that something will hap
pen and I want you to promise me
there will be no more of it,"
"All right" replied Johnson. "I will
run the cars into the paint shop and
they will not be out until after the
fight"
Rickard heaved a big sigh of relief.
"That's load off my mind" he de-
clared to some Of his close friends. "I
certainly was worried about Johnson
and his automobile. He likes to speed
too much"
Johnson took what was practically a
complete rest today. He was on the
road in the morning for short time,
but along before the noon hour had his
machine out and unlimbered for action.
I'm off for San Joes," he announced
to the gaping crowd as he entered his
machine. Sig Hart accompanied him,
and the return was not made until
late in the evening.
Tex Rickard, accompanied by Sam
Berger, arrived this evening from Ben
Lomond. 1t is understood Berger has
come here in order to hold a confer
ence over the sale of the moving pic

sisted he had never been in Highland.
HAS WIFE IN KANSAS
Degginger and Inglehart seemed sur
prised to hear that MARCEL was mar
ried in Los Angeles a short time ago,
and stated that the accused has a
wife and three children living in the
Kansas town. The young woman who
visits the prisoner almost daily evil

insists that it is q case of mistaken
identity and that the police are hound
ing her husband.

Galloway yesterday received a tele-
gram from Superintendent of Police
Frank T. Corrison, to the effect that
MARCEL has been identified by a photo
graph as man who passed a forged
check there under the name Of L. S.
Critchell.
Now that the Identification of Mar
chell is complete, he will be given over
ito the Kansas City authorities just as
soon as the necessary papers can be
arranged.
In addition to the forgery charges
against him, MARCEL also may be
charged with bigamy.
