Miss Louise Jorgen6en Began Her Public Career Under Ruth St. Denis, Following 'several years of work and study, Miss Louise Jorgensen, a former Oakland danced her way into the limelight and Is at present playing in a San Francisco theater under the stage name of Virginia Lee. Miss Jorgensen's opportunity came several years ago, jand: later she went to New Tork, where her personality and portrayal of terpsi-phorean art earned for her an enviable position. She began her dancing under Ruth St. Denis, later became a of a Russian school of dancing, and then accepted a contract to dance in one of George M.

WIDEGROSSCITY Following, recommendation of the city planning commission, the city council this morning gave two readings to a resolution ordering the acquisition of properties for the widening of Claremont, avenue between College and Telegraph avenues. A wider street, says the planning commission, Insures a good cross-town highway In north-central Oakland. The Parr 'Terminal company was ordered by the council to be paid $11,678.74, its share of the receipts as of April 30.

This is the proportion of dockage and warehouse earnings which has been in dispute for some time.t The resolution of the Oakland Federation of Mothers' Clubs, protesting against the early closing of the schools and asking that this be avoided next year by the council furnishing eductioonal "funds as requested," was read before the council and referred to the budget committee. "That," said Commissioner Morse, "is assuming that the board of education will make requests that are right." Improvements were ordered for Fruitvale avenue between Hopkins and Nicol avenue. At request of the Fabiola Hospital association, permission to build a garage on Moss avenue near Piedmont avenue was denied bv the HIGHWAY SOUGHT Supervisors Told If His Re- districting Flan Faib He'll "Go to People. A hint that he win more ht political machine Into county polities Should the Supervisors fail to re-district the county according to his plans was made today by Mayor John L. Davie in a letter to its members.

In this letter Mayor pavie altered that the Supervisors had "their judgment befogged by attempting to create artificial lines" so that the Supervisors might perpetuate themselves in offices. The letter was filed by the board without comment. The paragraph which hints that the Mayor will take a part in county politics follows: "If my request that you rectify ths unjust apportionment of representation to Oakland is not acted upon by you, I will unquestionably at the next ejection of supervisors in those districts of Oakland call the attention Of the Oakland voters to the manner in which they have been cheated out of their rights by political chicanery and impress upon them the necessity ut voting for Oakland candidates at such eleclion." The first district to include Ala meda and all of the county east the eastern boundary of Oakland, the second district to include Berko-Ivy and all of the districts north of the northern boundary of Oakland, and the three remaining districts to 1 1.. Emeryville, is the plan urged by the Mayor. Continuing, the mayor said: difficulty is due to the fact fjiui you have not adopted or con-3dcred the simplest and most logical plan, but have had your judgment befogged by attempting to create artificial lines to perpetuate yourselves in office.

If the interests of the Oakland citizens are exclusively considered and your personal political 'advantages subordinated is no difficulty. "Section 4029 of the Political Code provide that the supervisorial district be so laid out a -to be as nearly in populationMposBibie. The law is clear. AIK.I ask of you is implicit obedience to the plain man-tuue of the law. I suggest that you re district as follows: first district to include Alameda and all of the county east of boundary of Oakland: the' snamd district to include Berkeley uiHl all of the county north of the northern boundary of Oakland; the three remaining districts to be comprised ol OaKiumt, I'wtimum and iJtneryville.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21 The divorce action of Mrs. Fva Fay Is-bcll, 193 Belvedere street, again was brought into prominence today when the identity of the alleged affinity was' made -known.

Duffy referred to had nothing whatsoever to do with the case. How the memorandum chanced to be included in the papers could not be explained today. by Attorney Anthony I'odesta, one "of the lawyers for the plaintiff. Mrs. Isbell herself, however, was quick to declare that Mrs.

Florence Blethem Duffy of Seattle no connection whatever with the case. "I do not know how that memorandum was handed to Judge Mogan," she asserted. "The woman I referred to as Miss Duffy is now living in San Francisco under her married name. I think she was a Frances Duffy before her marriage, but certainly Mrs. Florence Duffy, the daughter of the late Colonel Blethem; was not concerned in this matter and I never heard of her."
