From Devils Lake, Rugby, Minot

AVIATION WEEK ATTRACTING
WORLDWIDE NOTICE
HOTEL MEN DECLARE RECORDS
WILL BE BROKEN
Even in Far OFF China the Flight Of
the Sky Pilots Has Been Heard
Of and Caused Change
of Plans

A steady stream of visitors from all
parts of the United States is pouring
into Los Angeles for Aviation week. Ii
it were not for the fact that the city
possesses ample hotel accommodations;
that there are hundreds of apartment
houses and that the homes of residents
have been thrown open to their friends
the city today would be taxed to its
fullest capacity.
There is every indication of a record
breaking crowd" said Chief Clerk Sib-
bald of the Hotel Alexandria last night,
"and it is my opinion that Aviation
week will be of untold benefit to the
city in many ways. Why, visitors are
here even from the orient, the islands
of the Pacific and from Europe to see
this event. and the greatest interest
seems to be manifested. 1 know of one
family in particular which will serve
as an illustration. They are English
people residing in China and had
planned a trip to California and the
American cities in 1911. The news of
Aviation week reached them, and on
short notice they decided to sail for
California this year instead of next and
to make Los Angeles their headquar-
ters that they might be present during
the aerial flights"
Bennett Bont. chief clerk at the Hotel
Lankershim, declares business Is
good" and attributes 1t to Aviation
week.
Although we do a splendid business
all through the winter months" said
Mr.. Bont. Il have noticed a rapid in
crease in the hotel arrivals compared
with those of last year. The visitors
are registered from various parts of the
United States and many of them have
come from Europe and the orient. The
impression should not go abroad, how
ever, that our hotels are overcrowded,
for it must be remembered that Los
Angeles is city peculiarly we'll fitted
to handle an event like Aviation week,
and 1 am confident that she will be
equal to any emergency and can handle
the crowds comfortably"

SIMPLE CEREMONIES
FOR EDDIE GRAHAM
Last Sad Rites Will Be Performed
Today, When Ashes Will Be
Strewed on Waters
of Pacific

Seldom has a newspaper man of Los
Angeles had a more kindly fare
well than was that accorded to George
Edward Graham, formerly assistant
managing editor of the Los Angeles
Examiner, at the chapel of Pierce
Bros. on South Flower street yester-
day afternoon. His casket was fairly
embowered with the blossoms that he
loved so well, and the chapel was
crowded with men and women who had
worked with him, or talked with him,
or knew him-and all of them loved
him.
Eddie" Graham was gone. His
friends in life knew that, but, somehow,
as they gathered there in that chapel,
there seemed to be a breath of that
CHEEKY good fellowship that had been
with him all his life and in all his deal
ings with his fellow men. living and
breathing there in the last goodby that
he did not have time to say.
1t was q simple service. Rich trib-
utes of flowers were piled about the
plain black casket. The Episcopal SER
vice for the dead was read by Rev.
Lewis G. Morris, rector of st. Johns
Protestant Episcopal church. Two
simple songs we're sung Dy lueHibefS VI
the Gamut club, where Eddie Gra-
ham often in life had been a welcome
guest Then the body was borne away
to the crematory at Rosedale cemetery
where the ashes were collected to be
streWn on the waters of the Pacific
this afternoon. 1t was a wish often
expressed by the newspaper man be-
fore death called him. A special car
bearing the ashes and a party of his
friends will leave the Pacific Electric
station at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and
Banning company's tug will bear the
funeral party out onto the ocean, where
the final ceremony will be performed.

AT POLICE STATION

Years Ago Told Again When
Lad is Brought in
Manned

When Howard Lozier, IA years old,
was being treated at the receiving hos
pital yesterday for a fracture of the
left leg at the thigh, caused by falling
under a dairy wagon, he learned for
the first time that Mrs. Lozier, 92S
McGarry street, whom he had always
known and regarded as mother, was
his foster mother.
Fourteen years ago last night, an in
FAINT was found beneath a rose bush
in the yard of Martin Kane, a foundry
man living in East Los Angeles, who
was dying and members of the order
of the Eastern Stal were keeping the
death vigil. The cry of the infant at
tracted their attention, and the source
of the cry located.
sThe infant boy, doubtless abandoned,
was sent to the receiving hospital and
was cared for by Mrs. Lucy Gray at
that time matron at police headquar-
ters. Mrs. Gray became sick and her
daughter, Mrs. Aletha Gilbert, present
matron at police headquarters, took
care of the baby.
The case was reported in the news
papers and Mrs. Howard Lozier
adopted the baby, taking him into her
home and caring for him as SON.
When the boy, who is employed
nights for the Mutual Dairy associa-
ton, 1886 Victoria street, was sent to
the receiving hospital, Mrs. Lozier was
notified. The boy had been playing
with Harold Radney, driver of milk
wagon, and fell from the seat, his leg
being crushed beneath the wheels.
Matron Gilbert was attracted by the
grief of Mrs. Lozier and recalled the
circumstances of the Loy's first visit
to the receiving hospital, and related
the circumstances of his adoption. Al
ter the fracture had been reduced the
boy was sent to the home of his
foster mother.
