The owners and lessees have spent (30,000 in improvements and equipment. Henry Kaufman and M. Kallk arc the proprietors, and they are confident that with the recent business expansion In the north end tit town the new Nadeau will be one of the most successful hotels in the city.

The Nadeau at one time was one of the principal buildings in Los Angeles and played an Important part In the city's development thirty vears ago. Its construction was expensive and massive, and the building Is in excellent condition now. The repair work, which has been going on for several weeks, has been thorough and extensive. All the wallpaper was removed and the walls in every room scraped and scoured before they were repapered. All the plumbing and electric wiring are new.

The old gas pipes have been taken out. The carpets an linoleum were practically all laid last night, and the furniture was being moved Into the rooms. Mr. Kaufman, who has had much hotel experience in this city and New York, nays the Nadeau will be run as a first-class hotel In every respect. The rates will range fronw 75 cents to (2 a day.

Mr. Kaufman believes with other business men that the entire northern district Is about to have a mug period of prosperity, especially it in outlet through the Bunker Hill biu'ler Is secured. The reopenlne i the Nadeau Is only one of many li'iMlness extensions In that part of the city. Traffic? through the Broadway tunnel ha doubled since it was lowered and re-gradedJbetween Temple and California streets. The regrade also added a story each to the Alhambra Hotel and annex.

1 Peck Hills are building a furniture factory ten stories high at Alameda and Alpine streets, as an addition to -their seven-story building. Several new grade school buildings and the $200,000 Franklin High School have been completed In North I8 Angeles. Negotiations for the construction of a ten -story and theater building at Third and Broadway are pending, the project having the support of the Business Stability Association. New grocery and other mercantile business houses are prospering on Broadway between First and Fourth streets. The Jant-zen-Rallsback Company, since moving from Hill end Seventh streets to its location adjoining the City Hall, has enlarged Its business and scope.

The Spear Dry Goods Company has opened a modern store occupying the entire first floor of the Merchants' Trust Building. The Fair Bargain Store will next month occupy the entire buildipg vacated by the I. W. Robinson Company. New stora fronts have been built on both Broadway and Spring streets to acommodate new retail establishments.

The J. 3. Sugarman Auction and Commlsion House has added the big storeroom at Nos. 142-8 North Spring street to Its floor space equipment on Court street. Mr.

Sugarman came here from Portland about ten years ago and has steadily built up his business. He sells for the United States bankruptcy court and for the Los Angeles Wholesale Board of Trade, and has figured In some large transactions here. With his augmented equipment on North Spring street he is prepared to do a business of 1500,000 or more annually. Uses Signs. SILENT SCHOOLMASTER.

Who for Twentv Tears Has Imparted. Knowledge to Deaf Persons is Visitor In This '-City. Interprets Church Services for Them. The Silent Schoolmaster1 would an appropriate title for Prof. George W.

Berry. For twenty years he has been an Instructor. of children and during-that time has not used his voice to Impart knowledge. He teaches the "Three R's" and other things through the medium of the sign languages, for his pupils are deaf. For nearly a quarter of a century Prof.

Berry has been a member of the faculty of the State School for the Deaf at Fulton, Mo. He is a Mason and came to the city to attend the recent Knights Templar conclave and prolonged his stay. He will be one of the principal speakers at the Missouri State Society picnic next Saturday at West lake Park. "1 teach all day without speaking a word," Prof. Berry said yesterday at the Pickwick apartments.

"While my pupils are handicapped with the great misfortune of deafness, they enjoy an advantage In not being disturbed with any of the sounds which so often distract other school children. 1 "My pupils never speak or hear cross words. That is something for which to be thankful. Frequently boys and girla coma to ma without knowing their own names or the names of their brothers and sisters and parents. When a deaf child grows up in a family where no one knows the sign language, as often happens, there is little opportunity for it to acquire knowledge." When out of the school-room.

Prof. Berry spends much of his time lrf adding to the pleasures of the deaf. Frequently he attends church and "signs" tha entire seflviee. Including tha sermon, prayers end hymns, for the benefit of deaf persons in the audience. He has appeared in this philanthropic role at Trinity Auditorium and other prominent Churches of the city this summer.

L. Doheny in the Chester Place and St. James Park districts have constituted of themselves notable real estate activity In tha last few years. Mr. Doheny has oought tnousands of feet of frontage on and near West Adams street and has removed a large number of old residences, flats and apartments that have not seemed to fit Into the en vlronment he has desired to create.

Much of this exceedingly valuable property has been laid out Into beautiful areas of green turf and garden, and a considerable portion of It Is now dotted with conservatories or the browsing ground of deer. Much of the ground is now practically a public park, as no one Is rormdden access through the wonderful estate that has thus been created. Five hundred feet of frontage ex tending westward along the north side of Adams from the corner of Figuoroa, and of almost equal depth, is now being put by Mr. Doheny into a fine grass plot gridironed with tree borders and dotted with flower beds, a small army of men being engaged in the work. This ground has been acquired by the wealthy oil man in various parcels and con cerning its eventual disposition he alone knows.

The magnificent $260,000 church projected by St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Parish. It is generally understood, will occupy the corner, looking diagonally across Flgueroa street toward a similarly splendid house of worship destined eventually to take the place of the present St. John's Episcopal Church. REMOVES OLD MANSION.

H. C. Wiley, a business associate of Mr. Doheny, has recently removed an old colonial mansion built a decade and a half ago at Chester Place and West Adams and Is now converting the site into a formal garden adjoining his own fine home. Included among the Improvements is a series of pergolas that bid fair to rank among the noteworthy embellishments of this character in tne Southland's fine residence places.

At West Aaams and Hope streets, and bounded on the west by the famous lane of giant palms known as Palm Drive, Mrs. Ella H. Potts and Mrs. Rowena T. Carruthers have Just started a four-story brick apartment-house planned on metropolitan lines.

The structure will stand well back from the sidewalk on the property line of adjoining homes and will have a most attractive front designed in the style of the French Renaissance. Drawings for the building were recently completed by J. F. Kavenaugh, a local architect, and the foundations are now being poured. Of the private Improvements under way outside of the recently boulevarded portion of the street the most notable are on that portion across the higher ground at the western end.

Here W. A. Clark, is putting a large plot of ground adjoining his handsome residence into private gardens that it is said will be unsurpassed in Los Angeles. Six months ago Mr. Clark erected a large garage at the back of his grounds and on top of this he put an observatory, in which is to be housed an exceedingly valuable telescope, the owner having a passlpn for astronomy.

Near the building were built a series of hothouses. Then Mr. Clark discovered that 150 feet of frontage immediately adjoining him to the east was on the market and at once added this plot to his holdings. Now he has decided to tear down the garage and ob. servatory and rebuild them In another part of the grounds.

Wilbur D. Cook, a landscape architect of this city, is supervising the work of transformation now going on and which will Include the laying out of sunken gardens, the construction of pergolas, drives and walks and an elaborate planting Dan Murphy, whose palatial home In the same district Is one of the show places of West Adams, has acquired 165 feet of frontage adjoining his present grounds and extending back to Twenty-seventh street and has Just started in to enlarge and elaborate a landscaping scheme on which he has already expended a large amount of money. The front of the new plot will be put into lawn and the back into gardens. At least a dozen fine new homes have sprung up on the street to the west of Mr. Murphy's mansion In the last two years.

First Blood. TO FIGHT FOR GEMS. Woman Wins Opening Skirmish In Legal Action Involving "Gift1 Diamonds, Wlien the Court Sets Pate for Trial; Love Notes Basis. The first skirmish in the battle for possession of diamonds valued st $400 was won yesterday in Justice Hinshaw's court by Mrs. Rosa Ro-elalr.

who is being sued for their recovery, by J. R. Thorpe, an engraver. Mr. Thorpe's attorney appeared for tha purpose of showing that the alleged love letters which passed between the two principals and which form the base for the contention of Mm.

Roclalr that the Jewels were given to her outright, were nothing more than a sham. On this attempted showing he asked that the court deliver to tha plaintiff the diamonds. The attorney for Mrs. Roclalr declared the letters are sufficient foundation to merit the trial of the suit and that at this trlak the Jewels will undoubtedly be awarded his client insisted Mr. Thorpe had been sincere In his affection and had made a present of the Jewels, an act he later regretted.

The court held there Is sufficient ground for a trial of the action, which was act for the 13th Inst MAKING GREAT BOULEVARD OF WESTADAMS STREET.

Laying down the proposition that entrymen cannot get the land cov ered by the Salton Sea, in the Imperial Valley, until a resurvey has been made, the General Land Office has affirmed the judgment of Regis ter Roche and Receiver Mitchell of the local Land Office, canceling the entries Of Samuel Milligan, Edward Hastings and Dock I. Denny, each on 320 acres of land now covered by the inland sea, Mr. Milligan's entry was contested by Alexis L. Sebllle, Mr. Hastings's by Albert G.

Kingsbury and Mr. Denny by Sarah M. Kingsbury. The papers in the case show that the contestees made entry according to the old plat, that showed the lands to be outside the waters of the Salton Sea, before that body formed about ten years ago. The contestants alleged that at the time and now the land was covered by the waters of the Salton Sea.

Both parties produced private surveys to prove their contentions. It was held by the local Land Office that inasmuch as the surveys conflicted it could not be determined which argument was correct. The entries were not allowed. On June 27. 1916.

after the con test had been disposed of by the local officials, the plat of another survey was filed, that shows the land under the waters of the Salton 'Sea. Under the ruling that has been af firmed by the Washington author ities, nobody can get the land until another survey is made after the waters recede. Both the contestants and the contestees have spent a large amount or money in me matter, but it is all lost fo years, at least. The Salton Sea is about forty miles long and twenty miles wide and the waters are receding very slowly. In fact the evaporation Is more than offset by the surface Irrigation water that flows in.

There has been a great demand for the land lying under the water, as it is supposed to be very valuable, but there will be nothing doing until the waters re cede, and a survey establishes the lines that cannot now be run. SpUnhl POOLS FOR SWIMMERS. Petitions Signed "Occupation, KW Win from the City Council an Appropriation to Improve Water Holes In the Arroyo Seco, "Occupation, kid." That Is the way' number of youngsters signed petitions asking for swimming pools In the Arroyo Seco. These petitions, after going through the usual routine, were acted upon by the City Council yesterday, when it adopted the. recommendation or the Finance Committee to appropriate 1200 to cover the cost The pools will be under the supervision of the Playground Commission.

This means that several swimming holes in the Arroyo Seco will be made swimming pools de luxe at small expense. There are number of su'table places on land owned by the city. They have been scooped out of the sand. A few boulders can be cemented to prevent the sides caving while tne water will be provided by the underflow. Where there are no trees or bushes, a fe temporary shacks will be erected for reeicg rooms.

George Davidson of St John's Episcopal Church and Frank J. Thomas playing the leading parts in getting the project going. Later, after this part of the street was in process of alteration, the projectors of the first portion of the work conceived the Idea of installing an ornamental lighting system that should surpass anything of the kind in the West. The type of electrolier finally decided upon was an exact duplicate of those lining (he Lake Front drive portion of Michigan avenue in Chicago. These lofty standards, with shafts of verd-antique bronie and six-lamp clusters, now line both sides of West Adams street from Hoover to Flgueroa street, and, it is understood, will soon be carried on along the rest of the boulevarded part of the street.

BECOMES POPULAR DRIVE. The magnificent concourse that has been thus created on West Adams has become one of the most popular drives in Los Angeles in the short time that has elapsed since the Improvements were completed. This, say the residents who paid for it was one of their main objects in doing the work, the project having been actuated by a pride In the city as well as through motives of a more personal nature. Considerable discussion has been aroused by the fact that the so-called Joint bureau of appraisal working under the city and county assessors seized upon the West Adams improvements as an excuse for doubling the assessed valuation of every piece of property affected before the enterprise was either completed or paid for, although It is not of record that the owners themselves have registered more than an informal protest against thus being summarily penallred for their efforts at beautifying their street Private improvements recently undertaken on West Adams are in several Instances strikingly In keeping with the work just mentioned, in that they have Involved the doing over of former projects that have cost large sums of money. Including the razing of one fine homes and the uprooting of old-time plantings.

T. J. Jones of Pomona Is a firm believer In the old adage that a man's home Is his castle. When the South ern Pacific employed him as a grade- crosslng tender, about four years ago, It elevated him to a high position in an unsightly tower. It was a bleak, bare structure on stilts, painted on the outside, but within, an uninviting place in which to spend S65 days of the year.

So Mr. Jones undertook to improve his castle. He planted vines, flowers and vegetables. Today the place Is a bower of verdure and an ornament to the city. It Is covered with madeira vines artistically trained to form the letters "8.

on one side of the tower and A-shaped patches to adorn the other three sides. On the ground about the structure rows of tile are filled with geraniums and near by is a vegetable garden in which Mr. Jotv-8 grows more tomatoes, potatoes, peas, onions, sweet corn and carrots than he can use himself.

Mr. Hiissenberger was one of the first to introduce animated pictures In mo NOTABLE improvements of both public and private character on West Adams street, including what Is described by many as the finest bit of boulevard work on the coast, are drawing new and wide attention to that already famous avenue of palatial homes. Projects recently completed and now under way on the street represent ft cost running Into the hundreds of thousands.

The recent street Improvements, which are declared by prominent residents of the fashionable thoroughfare to mark the beginning of boulevard scheme that will eventually Include ait of West Adams, take in that portion between Grand avenue and Hoover street. No definite movement to complete the undertaking has as yet been launched, but the topic Is a live one among the West Adams-street property owners. Once this talk shall have taken tangible form there will be no more splendid boulevard in America. PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. The boulevardlng project Just carried out was fostered and carried out under the direction of Ave men.

William M. Garland, Isadore B. Dockweller and E. L. Doh-iny first started the thing, by Inducing some thirty-five other owners to go In with them in a plan to tear up and reconstruct that part of the street lying between Hoover and Flgueroa.

The street was already a broad asphalt surface lined with wide planted parkings, but It was lacking in the eyes of the owners fronting on this jart of It The proceedings for the desired changes were unique In the annals of street work in this city, in that the necessary funds were all pledged in advance and the enterprise handled by private contract without recourse to special assessments. Once started, me worg went through In a hurry. From Hoover to Flgueroa street the old pavement was torn out and new laid, the asphalt surface being made sixty-five feet wide from cyrb to curb. Down the center, leaving travel lane of twenty-nve feet on each aide, was buUt a series of "islands," some circular and others Jn the form of long ovals. These were at once planted with flowers and rare shrubs, and in each was set out one or more slender palms of several years' growth, bought great expense from Southern California nurseries.

The scheme also Involved the sotting out of many trees in the.
