-"'tlon for debt. General Moore of the
Union Mission army, attempted to hide
twenty-six of , the fifty-two beds . in his
lodging house on East Second ■ street,
■; by placing them on' the roof. Attorney
McCormlck and his client, Capt. Wlll
hlte, were vigilant and discovered the
: property, which was sold under execu

'Some weeks ago suit was filed by
Capt. WUlhlte against" General Moore

MERCURY RISES
TO NINETY FIVE
THE CITY'S SUMMER RESORT
RECORD BROKEN
GREAT INCREASE IN HUMIDITY
Two' Months of Cool Weather For
gotten When the Warm Spell
Comes — Fana. Needed
for Today
Would you have suffered more from
the heat yesterday if you had known
that thus far it was the hottest day of
the summer?
The attendant of the official ther
mometer said so in his report made
last night, and there is no gainsaying
the truth of his statement.
Weather Prophet Franklin arose
early yesterday morning for the ex
press purpose of watching the mer
cury climb. At 10 o'clock the mercury
reßted at 93 degrees and a little before
neon it had reached 95. The atmos
phere carried with it an unusual
amount of humidity and as a result
Angelenos sweltered. Mr. Franklin
says the Salton sea has nothing to do
with this increase of humidity in
spite of the fact that the sun Is drink
ing up the big inland sea at the rate
of three or four . thousand cubic feet
of water a day. He accounts for the
/warm weather in this statement:
"There was an area of Tilgh pressure
to the north of . this vicinity and an
area of low pressure to the south,
giving hot, dry winds."
It is thus easily to be seen that high
and low pressure are directly respon
sible for the heat wave and that the
government weather man is entirely in
nocent of any wrongdoing.
Today Will Be Warm
As a point of information Angelenos
forgot to tell tourists yesterday that
Los Angeles is the ideal summer resort
ot the Pacific coast. It will be best
for them to have another lapse of
memory today, Inasmuch as the fore
cast is for continued warm weather.
It may ! be well to state, also, that
It has been unusually cool in Los An
geles during the present summer. For
July, and . the twenty-seyen days of
August: Just* passed 'the temperature
has ranged from three to four degrees
lower than for the same period of last
year.
In the interior of the state, how
ever, even village clowns have ceased
their Jokes at the expense of the
veather. At Riverside Saturday the
temperature was 100 degrees and at
Redlands 102 degrees. At Tucaipa the
heat for the last week has been severe,
yesterday being productive of thunder
storms and torrents of rain. .
ICE COLD BEER TEMPTS
THIRSTY NEGRO. TRUSTY
Albert Harper Appropriates Two Bot.
ties of "Evidence" In "Blind
Pig" Case
A warm day and "blind pig booze"
proved to be too much of a temptation
for a negro "trusty" at the city Jail
yesterday afternoon, and while engage J
In carrying into the police station 200
quarts of "evidence," Albert Harper
was caught jin the i act of "falling
from grace" by Patrol Driver P. W.
PUschke.
Bowed beneath the weight of cases
of beer the trusty plodded back and
forth In the station corridor until he
thought tha watchful eye of the police
was not upon him, and then in a man
ner that would make a sleight -of-hani
performer envious he slipped two "o»'.d
bottles" Into his yawning coat pockets.
Without even the quiver of an eyelid
he passed eafely by three policemen as
they stood guard over the "evidence,"
but, alas, as he approached PUschke
his nerve began to fall him. When the
policeman demanded of him the cause

faint. While he was recovering the
policeman succeeded in extracting the
two bottles from their hiding place.
"I didn't mean nothln', boss. I sho'
didn't. I jes' thought a little ob dat
cold beer wouldn't hurt me none on a
hot day, so I tuk it and thought nobody
was gwine to 'grudge me dat little
pleasure," stammered the frightened
man.
No amount of apolopgy on the part of
the negro could persuade the officer to
return the beer, and while still discuss
ing the pleasure he had so narrowly
escaped he was led back to his cell be
hind the Jail door, where he fell asleep
to dream of roaring torrents of the
amber liquid which were always Just
out of his reach.
The "evidence," which was captured
by the police In Lou Simpson's store on
Wlllmlngton street, near First street,
was carried into the station house by
another "trusty," and will appear in
the police court this morning in con
nection with the case of Albert Harper,
who is charged with conducing a "blind

SAD SHOCK FOR
GEORGIA MAGNET
DEPUTY SHERIFF WAITS FOR
CLEVER ACTRESS
ASKS PAY FOR DIAMONDS
Annie Abbott Brushes Away Her
Tears While She Explains That
Another Woman Borrows
■
Her Name
Ah Annln Abbott, "the original
Georgia Magnet," stepped from the
stage of the Empire theater into the
wings last evening she was accosted by
Deputy Sheriff Goodhue, who served a
summons to appear before the superior
court to answer the charge made by the
Herbert Joseph Jewelry company of
Chicago, which accuses her of buying
$600 worth of diamonds and forgetting
to pay the bill.
jj For a moment the little actress stood
aghast. Then, with a scream that could
be heard far down into the audience,
she cast the papers aside and started
for her dressing room. On second
thoughts she turned angrily to the
deputy and demanded by what right he
accused her of something of which she
was not guilty. She was met by a cool
demand. ,for the diamonds, nnd the
deputy offered a bond of $1000 to secure
her from loss.
"No,", replied Miss Abbott, "I will
never give up my diamonds. Only one
stone that I possess was purchased in
Chicago, and that was paid for a long
time ago. I never heard of the firm you
mention."
Not the Only Magnet
By this time the actress . was too
much overcome by emotion to talk
coherently. When she became calmer
she cried: "This is too bad, too badl
I don't understand it at all." Suddenly
a light flashed in her eyes, and placing
her hand upon the deputy's arm she
cried aloud: "I know it all. I am not
the woman you. want. Tou want Alta
Tillte, that woman who impersonates
me. '
"This is the same sort of trouble that
I went through with once before. When
I returned from Australia in the middle
of December, 1904, I was confronted
with the same charge in Washington,
D. C. There is another woman who
asserts that she Is the original 'Georgia
Magnet' Her right name is Alta Tillle,
but she uses the name of Anna Emma
Abbot. She bought the diamonds that
are mentioned in these papers Decem
ber 1, 1904. I was charged before with
purchasing them, but I easily proved
that I was not the person wanted."
Manager W. F. Banks of the Empire
theater gave out the information that
the woman of whom Miss Abbott spoke
is now in San Francisco. He said that
Miss Abbott receives $500 a week anl
he belives that she could not afford to
have a dispute over money even if she

had purchased the diamonds. Miss
Abbott's impersonator has been appear
liik for the Western Loboskl theater
circuit and Mr. Banks avers that she
has been enjoined several times from
using Miss Abbott's name.
Must Consult Attorneys
Miss Abbott said last evening that
she would call upon Attorneys Adams
and Coyne, who represent the Chicago
Jewelers, and consult with them before
answering the court summons. If she
cannot convince the lawyers that she
is not the Miss Abbott wanted she will
answer the summons and prove that
she did not buy the diamonds.
