Not only iis Washington's birthday
commemorated by the annual banquet
of the chamber of commerce to be
held that evening at Levy's cafe, but
the Inauguration of a new feature ln
the work of that organization is also
marked by this occasion.- -.-■'■
"Both the incoming and outgoing of

evening," explained Frank C. Wiggins,
secretary of the chamber of commerce.
Short addresses will be made by Wil

president. This is a new thing entire
ly for the chamber and marks the
adoption of an entirely different sys
tem. • .'.'-' -
"The tickets to the banquet are sold
almost to the limit— only a certain
number can attend owing to lack of
room. . And- members of • the chamber
of commerce who have not yet sent in
their applications for tickets should
do so at once. ' •
' "Those members of the chamber ot
commerce who are still waiting to de
cide whether they will take advantage
of ■ the Imperial valley excursion to
be sent out under the auspices of the
chamber on February 27. must make up'
their minds quickly, as the sale of
tickets closes soon, since the number
is limited. -
."I hope those Inland empire excur

ber of commerce has two excursions
for _ them—one leaving Los Angeles
Monday for Pasadena and the other

TRIES TO KIDNAP
RUSSIAN PRINCE
JEALOUS LOVER ATTEMPTS TO
STEAL RIVAL '
Diminutive Nobleman Is Thrust Into
Pocket of Captor's Coat, but _.
, Manager Rescues
'. , v Him
What Is said by his manager, Mr.
Blitz, to be a malicious attempt to
kidnap and perhaps kill Prince Nicoll,
the diminutive Russian nobleman, who
Is in Los Angeles in search of a
moneyed wife, occurred last night Just
as his highness was leaving his, of
fices in Wonderland.
The person who Is supposed to have
tried io .... prince cut c*. .».._ way
ll'ieu to put t-iio y_ ___»*« v.**. w» «..«- ..—.,
is William Evans, a young miner of
Goldfleld. During the stay, of the
prince ln this city his avowed purpose
has been to get a helpmeet of enlarged
financial standing, and with this end in
view made the ' acquaintance of Miss
Esther Battner of Goldfleld, who is
here visiting her aunt, Mrs.' W. E. Ste
venson,'. 4976 Marmlon way. .
- Mr. Evans and Miss Battner for sev
eral months past have reached an un
derstanding in love affairs, and Miss
Battner had made this trip to Los An
geles as probably • the last before she
becomes Mrs. Evans. Up to last week
the vacation had developed no compli
cations, but suddenly the dally letters
of Miss Battner to her fiance in far
away Goldfleld ceased and Mr. Evans
could get no response to telegram, let
ter or telephone message which he
hourly sent to Mrs. Stevenson's ad
dress in . a , frantic ■ effort to find '. his
sweetheart. By some means . the de
serted lover learned that his heart's
desire had fallen a victim to the wiles
of the sporty and attractive .. little
prince and Immediately hastened here
to put a stop to the match or some of
the contracting parties.
\ Has a Strong Will
Miss Battner also has a will of her
own and told her fiance, when she
learned of his intentions, that she con
sidered it her privilege to change her
mind ln love as well as anything else,
and that'- she, would stay with . the
prince, rain or shine. .. ,-' *
Mr. Evans considered - the matter
and thought that if he could only get
the prince out of the way for a time
his sweetheart would return to him.
He procured arv automobile and after
driving up to . the main ' entrance of
Wonderland waited around for Nicoll
to appear. - In company with his man
ager the little nobleman soon came
out, • and while '-. his manager strolled
ahead a little way the prince stopped
to light a cigar. This was Evans' op
portunity and he seized It. Snatching
the midget, the kidnaper dumped him
Into a large pocket in his overcoat and
started to Jump Into his • car. - Nicoll
gave one weak little scream before he
disappeared, and this was enough to
warn his friends. Mr. Blitz turned
around in time to catch Evans, but
the young man dropped _ his captive,
and jerking .-■ loose '-. from v Mr. Blitz'
grasp leaped Into the automobile and
was whirled away. , ■ -*
. Wheh seen after the incident Prince
Nicoll said: "Gee, but I had a close
squeak' that time. That fellow dumped
me in his pocket head flrst and I could
hardly r breathe, let alone make . any
noise. If Mr. Blitz had not heard my
first yell I. might now be dead or at
least off the map for a time." - /
Will Not Prosecute :.-y.'\". .
, .When asked W ha would I prosecute
Evans Prince Nicoll said: '"No,. I am
too much of a sport to do that. I am
in a precarious business when I come
Into a strange land In a confessed ef
fort to ' get ,a ' wife ,for .. money -. and
money , alone, and I must expect such
occurrences. -. I have stolen that; fel
low's girl i and ■ can hardly blame him
for hating me, but I will see that he
don't * get . any more t chances ,to nab
me unless he gets a lasso." J '
s: Mr. Blitz said the prince had not suf
fered any. bad effects from his experi
ence, although his head and body are
a trifle sore from his rough handling.
When told of the futile attempt of
her lover to win back her regards Miss
Blttner | was , chagrined i and displeased
In the extreme. She said:» "The friend,
ship i between ' Mr. Evans and myself Is
now emphatically ended. My actions In
no : way , were deserving lof such I pub
licity and distrust on the part of Mr.
Evans, and simply because I missed a
letter or two was no reason for him to
doubt my love or treat me In this man

This publication, entitled . "The I Edu

tamed an article by W. Ramsay Smith
on "Air and Health," In which Is cited
a striking , parallel ■'- to %y the z proposed!

the two famous Incidents of "The Black

diers died by the score; in ' one . night
from close confinement £ and * another

How Monkeys Suffered
"At a time when : the monkey _ cages 1
ln the London zoological gardens were'
arranged ln two tiers It was found that
the Inmates |of : the . upper I cages suf
fered greatly from consumption. -4, When;
the cages were all put on a level the
trouble ceased. < The Inhabitants of the
upper ; series had to . breathe I the j air
that had been contaminated by those In
the lower cages. -"-'---■'■. v.''-y yyy
;•'- "Similar disease has been. noticed
when cattle are huddled i together jln j
badly ventilated places. It ls usually
only animals, kept in close confinement,
that become tubercular. . • , ,
■ "The necessity for pure air as a .con-]
dition essential to good health was fully'
recognized by ' those , races _ that s held I
beauty and strength lof .< body tin \ the';
highest estimation. ■■ v.- fyf- '.■,-....-, y#£s&.
"The Romans paid more attention to
,tho valuo of pure air In training their
race horses and gamecocks than we do;
In the training of ' our students - and
teachers. For their athletic Jt schools'
they chose Capua and Ravenna as be
ing the healthiest places In Italy." i~&&s
-The proposed change to be made In
the city Jail, already notorious! for | Its
overcrowded condition, - which ; includes!
the erection of a mezzanine floor in that
small structure so that prisoners 'may'
be stowed away; In. two tiers, ls san
exact parallel to ft the ■.- Instance * men
tioned by the English authority re
ferred to by Superintendent Moore.

The dark lesson of history ln the case 5
of the "Black Hole of Calcutta" may .
be repeated ln the Los Angeles city Jail
