The evidence was pro-sen ted by Mrs.

Nix and other apartment keepers at the same address. They said the odor from a llmburger cheese or a busy glue factory, was myrrh and frankincense by comparison.

The sprinkling of, the smelly liquid continued for four nights and on the fifth night, it Is alleged In the complaint, the indlnant apartment-keepers charged upon Mrs. Flnburg and caught her In the act of spreading tho liquid. Chemists have been rallod in to. determine what was used to cause the odor. Detectives who went to the place returned to the Police Station with their handkerchiefs atuffed in their nostrils.

They secured bundles of acid-soaked papers, alleged to have been spread about tho halls and poked under doors."

Ring of Bettors and Oxcncrs 1 in Full Control, "Lucky" Baldwin's dream of locating an American Monte Carlo on his famous ranch is almost realized. Busy track scrapers are at work on the new Ascot Park at Arcadia. George Roso, who will be one of the owners, stated yesterdays hat an attempt will bo made to race for thirty days at tho present Ascot, by which time the new track Is expected to be ready. The formal opening Is planned for December 1.

If-he work is completed by that time, It will break all records for racetrack construction. Surveyor Allen. Who built Ast'ot Park, says that the stupendous Job can be accomplished. Los Angeles has been called upou for all tho carpenters who can be em ployed. A grand stand and staples for 600 horses will be built before the track opens.

Each stable will contain twenty-five stalls and It Is figured that one stable can be put up each day after the carpenters get "on the Job." According to the promoters of the track, tho nature of th ground makes the construction work luster than at most other race tracks. The aoil packs to th required hardness and affords natural drainage. When completed, the track Will be a permanent blot on the reputation of Southern California. Sporting men In other cities express astonishment that Los Angeles would stand for anything as raw as a track owned and maintained by a bookmaker Ir. partnership with the owners of two of the big racing stables.

public certainly has a grand chance against such a combination. The owners of the new track will be George Rose, the bookmaker, Barney Schrelber, owner of a big rating stable, and "Lucky" Baldwin. FAR WORSE THAN ASCOT. It will be Infinitely worse than the present Ascot Park. Operated In connection with the race track will bo the hottest tawn on this Coast.

present Aseot Is merely a race track pure simple. The track at Baldwin's will be a race track with complications. The Oakwood Hotel at Arcadia has long been notorious as the biggest and most glided of the road houses on tha "Devil's Highway." There are a succession of such places, starting at a tough resort near Schuetzen Park and ending at Arcadia. The place Is already beginning to hum with the whirl of the life to cornn to it. Sports and gamblers swarm about the porches.

The tinkle and whir of the machine Is almost Incessant. There are eight or ten of them in "His Master's Voice 1 mmmm- JmmM EATH ENDS LONG SLEEP. Mrs. Rtsi riorfar, Strangely Stricken, in State of Coma for 34 Days. After an almost unbroken Sleep of thirty-four days, Mrs.

1 Rosie Roder died yesterday aft-T ernoon at her home. No. 02Q West Seventh street. For only 4 a few brief moments in all that time was there any evidence of awakening consciousness. she muttered unintelligible sounds.

The case puzzled many physicians. Mrs. Roder, who was 43 years old, was the wife ot John Koaer, inspector of public safety, for- merly a captain in the fire da- partment. She nover before had been ill. On the night of Au- gust 21, she retired apparently In good health.

That night her husband was awakened by a I strange cry from tho baby. Hastening to their bedside, Roder found his wife unconscious. All efforts to arouse her proved futile. Ho called physician at once and later several others were summoned. AH were baffled by the strange malady.

The woman failed to revive, save partially for a short time two weeks aftor ehe was stricken, but she quickly relapsed into the coma. Her ease was quite similar to that of Florence Parker, the young woman who lay unconscious for six weeks, then was restored to health. the hotel building, and the garden behind tho house Is scattered thick with them. The bang and weeze of an old tin-pan mingles with their music. All night long autos go chugging into this garden.

However gilded Arcadia may become, the people of Los Angeles county will have no recourse. "Lucky" Baldwin Is absolutely supreme. The "town," although legally incorporated, is a fake. It Is no town at all. "Lucky" Is the town.

The incorporation was accomplished by a subterfuge. A lot of palsanos were rushed In to make the necessary BOO population. After voting to Incorporate, the "population" disappeared. Practically all the votes of th town are "Lucky's" employes. Anytning says "goes." One would think that the law would provide for the automatic dlsincor-poratlon of a town when It falls below the required population.

The only way to disincorporate Is to vote to that end. As "Lucky" controls all the votes, Arcadia Is there to stay. Once the track Is established at Arcadia, the Board of Supervisors will be without any authority in the premises. "Lucky" and his henchmen can simply laugh at the Los Angeles city government. Los Angeles will have all the bad effects, and "Lucky" will get all the money.

ANXIOUS OVER DECISION. The City Hall officials and the prosecuting attorneys are anxiously awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court on the appeal to that tribunal of the case Involving the payment of the salaries of the Police Court prosecutors. -On the ground that the prosecutors should be paid out of the county funds because the appointments were made by( the District Attorney, City Treasurer- Hance refused to pay the salaries from the city treasury. A decision In favor of Edward J. Fleming, deputy District Attorney and prosecuting attorney at the Police Station, was recently handed down by District Court of Appeals.

Capt. Hance at once appealed to the Supreme Court. A dispatch from San Francisco last night stated that no' decisions were handed down yesterday by the Justice now in session. WOULD DON MEN'S CLOTHES. Former Los Angeles Woman Seeks Die.

There la gomethlng appealing about him. To tho sporting Avorld he Is merely, "de champ," a God and an Idol and a dog tomorrow If he should be licked tomorrow. But to real pooplo, there Is a curious and wistful Interest surrounding him.

He Is not In tho least like a prize fighter. As a general thing a prize fighter an excessively offensive person, whether he be a Jimmy Brltt and attempt an Intcllectupal pose, or a "rough-neck" like Tommy Burns, and i affect a valet, and cane. Gans Is a meek, humble mulatto with the saddest faco the writer has ever seen. i It is a puzzling and remarkable face. Pome one has written that Gans has the face of an Egyptian or an Arao and not of a and It Is true.

There is something about it that suggests a young 1st. Bernard dog a puppy as it -cooks its head to one side and looks out with troubled perplexity upon the world. There Is the same wrlnklt puzzled look of Inquiry, i No- one could look Into the eyes of the picture printed at the top of this group and not bo impressed. They aro not the eyes of Ignorant negro, and the lace docs noft have that peculiar flitting uppearanee of momen-1 emotions written only slate-deep that churacteriies so many of his race. The tragedw and pathos of his "race and not its merriment are written in the deep eyes of Gans.

His puzzled look is not the fretful peevishness of stupidity: it is the look of one who sees and wonders why. it is as if he were asking why It should be his destiny to beat men's faces with padded gloves. FACE OF A GENERAL. The man who discovered that his face is not a negro face may also have suggested that it Is not a pugnacious face. Jt the face of a general or a war eagle; not of a brawler.

Gans fights because he knows how to destroy, not because he4s a fighter. Many people have seen Gans bitterly insulted, without resentment on his part. Bat Nelson fights bnraose he is a pugnacious little boy and he would Just as soon fight on a sidewalk. Gans could not easily be drawn Into a' quarrel. Down In the bottom ot his heart Gans hates prlz? He may not know It, but he This in spite of the fact that he is, without doubt, the DAILY, STRAW VOTE.

It was interesting to see Joe Gans. Plainly, It wearied He looked out over the heads of ihe crowd-wistfully and and with a gentJe dignity and patient rcslcnatlon. Inside the rubbing room was accomplished the somewhat peculiar feat of introducing a well-known Artist to Joe as the latter lay prous and naked, belngrubbed. Without a khade of either embarrassment or enthusiasm the champion mournfully thrust out one hand from his couch, and the rubbing proceeded. HIS SELF-ABNEGATION.

Some one has written of Gans's extreme humbleness" and of his "knowing his place" whatever But his humility, is not of the order of cringing; rather of self -abnegation. In the midst of all the adulation rhowered upon, him, Gans spied big Jim Jeffries. Hlslook was the awed look of a very little dog upon a giant Newfoundland. i was suggested that he and Jeff should be photographed shaking hands and they were brought ut. But the pose happened not to be of them clasping hands.

"All done." said the photographer, and Jeff started to walk away. A look of Intense disappointment came into the mournful eyes of the negro. "Weren't, we to bo taken' shaking hands?" he Ami. the picture was taken over again to pleafe him. Gans completely forgot himself all day In his admiration of the champion.

There is no tntehtlon here of trying to make out this negro prize fighter a paragon of virtue, He Is said to be a desperate gambler.
