MISS KELLERMAN PLAYS
IN WAVES OF PACIFIC
Water Sprite Declines to Perform
Swimming Stunts

LONG BEACH, Aug. 24.-Annette
Kellerman, the famous woman diver.
remained an hour and a half on the
beach and in the surf here this morn
ing, wading shoulder-deep into the
water, but was not exerting herself to
swim. The young woman is charmed
beyond expression by her first visit to
Southern California, and says, in fact,
she is Just crazy" about it. She pro-
poses to pass some time on the sand
each morning, Just resting"
Miss Kellerman this morning wore a
black suit of her own designing. The
suit is sold in the east and bears her
name. 1t consists of a combination
suit worn underneath and an over
garment cut princess and reaching
about to the knees.
The 23-year-old watersprite said she
would pay no attention to a challenge
reported to have been made by Miss
Dorothy Newkirk of Santa Monica for
a half mile or longer race in the ocean.
"I consider 1t a positive shame" said
she, ''that American women do not cul-
tivate the art of swimming. 1t Is
something everyone should master, be-
cause some day 1t may stand them in
good stead. Moreover, 1t is remark
able good developing and strengthening
exercise. In other countries many
women swim eight or ten miles and
think almost nothing of 1t. am glad
to hear that there are a few expert
women swimmers in Southern Califor-
nia."

COMMITTEE EXONERATES
REALTY BOARD MEMBERS
G. w. Hughes Prefers a Charge
Against Officials

LONG BEACH, Aug. 24.-At a meet
ing of the realty board last night the
grievance committee made report
which had been looked forward to with
great interest for week by the other
members of the board. The report ex-
onerated J. A. Rominger, president of
the board; G. B. Farley and L. c..
Stone of a charge preferred by George
w Hughes that the three men, as an
appraisal committee of the board, had
demanded $3.50 each to approve Hughes
estimate of the value of the Westmin-
ster property west of the pier.
Rominger declared last night that
the three men named set their charge
at the sum named, but that they did so
as individuals and that the realty board
had no appraisal committee. He said
they considered they had right to ask
whatever they saw fit for their per-
sonal services. The site in question is
that on which w. l.. Porterfield says a
nine-story hotel and office building will
be erected. The appraisal was desired
in order to help him secure financial
assistance for his project from eastern
men. The members of the grievance
committee making the report were At
torney George Kapp, S. N. Buffers, l..
w. Folsom, G. H. Marshall and w.

FIRE IN BAKER BLOCK
CAUSES $4,000 LOSS
Believe Blaze to Have Started
from Spontaneous Combus-
tion of Chemicals

Spontaneous combustion is believed
to have been the cause of fire early
yesterday morning, which for a time
threatened the complete destruction
of the Baker block, North Main and
Arcadia streets, one of the city's old
est buildings. 1t caused total es-
timated loss of $35000.
The fire was discovered shortly after
o'clock, and is supposed to have
started in the basement OF the build
ing, where large amounts of chemicals
were stored by the Calkins' company,
S4S North Main street, one of the losers
in the fire. 1t sustained a loss of
$4,000.
Before the arrival of the fire appara-
tus, great volumes of smoke poured
from the windows and doors of the
building, making it almost impossible
for the f1remen to ascertain the loca-
ton of the fire. After several hours
hard work the fire was placed under
control.
Cohen brothers, clothing merchants,
who occupied a store at 344 North
Main street, sustained a loss of $780,
900. The entire stock of the firm was
total loss and the floor and the CELL
ing or In6 SIOr6rOOIH were Dduly udIIl-
aged. From the Cohen store, the blaze
spread to the wine and liquor estab-
lishment of Sherwood & Sherwood at
346 North Main street. Their damage
is estimated at $4,000.
The damage to the building is esti-
mated at $4,000 and is partially COW
cred by insurance.
The Baker block is the property of
Mrs. Arcadia B. de Baker of Santa
Monica, who is one of the heirs of the
Stearns ranch in Riverside and the
Laguna ranch near Wilmington, and
several other large property holdings
in Southern California. At the time
of the construction of the building in
1877 it was said to be the best con-
structed and largest building south of
San Francisco. For a number of years
it was one of the show places for trav-
elers visiting the city

ture and has a 200 foot frontage on

One of the most interesting reports
at the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis was that
of the executive secretary; Dr. Liv.
lngston Farrand, showing the growth
of the anti-tuberculosis movement
since May l, 1909. The number of as
Bociations for the prevention of con
sumption has increased from 200 to
over AIS; the number of sanatoria and
hospitals for the treatment of tuber-
culosis is from 298 to 400; and the
special tuberculosis dispensaries from
222 to 265. During the year 1909,
thirty-six out of forty-three legislatures
In session considered the subject of tn.
bercuiosis, and in %. bills were passed
for the prevention or treatment of this
disease. Since the opening of the
legislative season of 1910, out of ten
legislatures In session up to May |, all
have considered the subject of tuber-
culosis and every one of them has
enacted some law that bears on this
subject.
