IN SOCIAL LIFE

DR.. and Mrs. Shelby Tvlhurst enter
tanned with a musicale at their home on
West Adams street last night. The house
was charmingly decorated with a wealth
of beautiful roses. In the deep embrasure
of the window OF the drawing room was
a large bank of white roses with trailing
branches laden with blossoms falling
gracefully to either side. Roses were over
windows and on the mantel. arranged
with artistic grace. In the library and
dining room pink and dark red roses
were used effectively.
The entertainment of the evening was
rare-n the high standard of the pro-
gramme selected and the artistic render
ing of each number. 1t is seldom in a
private house that professionals of such
ability and reputation can be heard. A
spacious room on the second story of the
house was converted into the dining room
and here were placed small tables, on
which tempting refreshments we're served.
One hundred and fifty guests or more
enjoyed the very delightful evening with
the hospitable host and hostess. Follow

THE ALEX DOCTER CASE
Finally Goes to Trial-Detective Bosqui
Testifies
The Defense Is Using Every Means to
Clear the Former Popular Young
Salesman

The noted Alex Docter case has finally
come to the superior court. The details
of Doctors escapade are still fresh in the
minds of all; how he took $500 of Nose
Gunst's money and skipped to New York
with fair damsel OF this city and was
there apprehended through the efforts of
Detective Bosqui and finally returned
here. Then he told very nice fairy
story of how he had been to Paris with
his charmer and rolled them high in that
city noted for high rollers. which story
was all taken as the truth by those not on
the inside. but the plain facts will likely
leak out yet, as the case progresses.
Several witnesses were examined yester-
day, the principal ones being Detective
Bosqui and Nose Gunst. and NJ. l..
Polaski. 1t seems that Docter still has a
very decided pull, as the detective testi-
fed that Docter and his friends had him
fired from the police force of this city.
Just what effect that pull may have re-
mains to be seen in the result of the
trial. The jury in the case is composed
of George II. Frost. Charles H. Gardiner,
James f. Banning, L. L. Royce, James
Loosen ore. W. l.. Dalton, W. II. Cary,
J. o. Lamb, Thomas ii. Abbott, +. W.

The case will be resumed this morning

Missionary Tea

The Sunday school room of Emanuel

noon with a large lumber of ladies to
meet Mrs. Nevins, recently from China
and Japan. The room was prettily dec
GRATED for the occasion, and at the con-
clusion of the remarks made by the diff
frent ladies chocolate and cake were
served. Mrs. Nevins anu Mrs. Chaplin,
both of missionary fame and so well
known in Los Angeles for their good
works, made earnest appeals to the ladies
present for their encouragement and
financial help in carrying on the mis-
sionary work in Japan and China. Mrs.
Nevins told briefly of this great need of
Christian help in a land that religiously
is in the grossest darkness. A letter was
read from Mrs. Saxton Fulton who was
sent several years ago by Emanuel church
to China as a missionary. At the conclu-
sion Of the remarks social hour was en-

ADJUSTMENTS

ORPHEUM.-The house was packed to
the doors. every loge and b was filed
and fringe of standing but widely smIi-
ing gentlemen ornamented the rear wall
Monday night for Muldoon's Picnic. Not
only ones who smiled; the whole house
was in roar most of the time. There
YVES very little picnic about it. but there
was a great deal of Muldoon and more Of
Mulcahey. and that is all that is neces-
sary when they are in the clever hands
of Tom Nawn and johnny Ray. They
are so entirely different that they make
excellent foils for each other, and yet
both are extremely good. Nawn is the
quiet. elf-contained irishman with gen
tlemanly instincts. a rich but hot over
whelming brogue. and Il tendency to fight
that is held down y sheer force of will.
Rays Irishman, on the contrary, is the
ketful OF chips on either shoul-
der. and makeup and gait
that are infectious and irresistible. His
brogue was dry and unctuous and
his facial expression as good in its way as
Mr.. Nawn's-more cannot be said for it.
The picnic was either an afterthought or
else was forgotten early and remembered
late. Everything happens in and about
Michael Muldoon's residence, and there
is very little of the time that something
isn't happening. The skating act be-
tween Muidoon and Mulcahy was
screamingly funny and the hit of the
evening. Much OF the other business was
new. original and clever. and the rest of
the people played around Nawn and Ray
with considerable success. The Binns
and Binns introduced their clever mu-
sical skit. and Mr.. Stuart sang a number OF
songs with the same success that attended
his efforts last week. Mr.. John Il. Drew
also sang and did some double shnfflrs
and breakdowns. and Flynn and Mcbride
gave a song and dance. The Picnic runs
all the week and Saturday matinee.
