A verdict of accidental death. due to
''excessive inhalation of chloroform while

Another attempt is being made to tie up

granting and revocation of saloon licenses,
several months ago. two column pub
lication appeared in morning paper with
this end in view yesterday, and it made the

the police board very mad. No interviews
for publication could for obvious reasons
be secured yesterday, upon the subject,
but one of the four members of the police
commission best sized up the situation
when he declared that the proposition to
have any association, or any man or set of
men wise the applications for saloon
licenses or intervene in reflections of the
same, was impracticable and foolish, and
uch step would mean, the statement
was made, the entire REIMBURSEMENT by
the police board of its prerogatives, and
while it might work in San Francisco, it
would not succeed here.
The scheme also means, 50 it was al
legged, that part of the liquor interests
would in a very short time be the absolute
master of the situation, which fact would

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN

The First Services In the New Auditorium to
Take Place Tomorrow
Tomorrow the congregation of the First
Presbyterian church will hold its first serv-
ices in the magnificent auditorium of the
new edifice, corner of Figueroa and Twen-
tieth streets.
This is one of the most complete struc-
lures of the kind on the coast. The style
and finish of the auditorium is certainly
beautiful, and the trustees and congrega-
ton cannot but greatly rejoice over it's
completion. 1t has a seating capacity of
100, which can be increased should occa-
sion require it. Its acoustic properties are
pronounced perfect. To occupy the new
auditorium will be a relief 10 both pastor
and people. as the increased attendance
fills the chapel annexed to the church, so
as to be uncomfortably crowded.
The services tomorrow will consist of
morning worship at L o'clock, with SER
mon by the pastor, Rev. Burt Estes How
ard. In the evening at 1890 o'clock
praise service will be rendered by the choir,
consisting of Mrs. Burdette, Miss Stone
man, Mr.. Zinck and Prof. Morrison, Miss

MULLEN'S TERM IS ENDED
The Vacancy for Trustee in the
Whittier School
IT WILL OCCUR ON MARCH |
The Plum in the Pudding Is the Super.
intendency
IT WILL OCCUR ON MARCH
Some Of Those nentioned to Succeed nullen
and Few Who Would Like to Step
Into Superintendent coffin's Shoes

The term of Andrew Mullen as men,
ber of the board of trustees of the Whittier
reform school expires tomorrow, and his
successor to the position has for some time
been the cause of considerable speculation
in political circles. Mr.. Mullen does not
seek a reappointment. He does not, in
fact, want to be considered an applicant
for the position at all. He would not ac-
cept the place were it rendered him.
That Democrat will be appointed goes,
of course. without saying, the several gen.
tlemen whose names have been connected
with the honor being ex-Sherif James G.
Kays and w. B. Wiltshire. The latter is
said to be the only one of the three who has
no personal candidate for the superintend-
ency OF the home, which is really the plum
at stake in the whole controversy. The
position pays $500 month and nainten-
ance.
Among the prominent candidates for the
place are ex.Chief of Police Thomas Cud-
dy and DR.. E. E. Powers, eX-city health
officer, although John Coffin, the present
incumbent, is pulling several secret strings
to be his own successor. He is brother
in-law to Hervey Lindley, and that astute
Republican leader is leaving no stone un-
turned in Cotfin's behalf. Ex-Sherif Hays
appointment as trustee is being opposed
in some quarters because of that fact, as
his personal friendship for Lindley is we'll
known. Kays is not and never has been an
avowed candidate, despite the efforts of
some of his friends to draw him into the
fight.
W. 3. Wiltshire, who is mentioned as the
probable successor to Andrew Mullen, is
the vice-president of the Children's Aid
society of San Francisco. He is the head
of the well-known Wiltshire company and
has for years taken more than ordinary in
terest in reformatory work incidental to
the juvenile population. He was for years
a member of the Democratic state COM
mittee, and although in no sense a poll
tican, he has always taken a progressive
interest in public affairs. United States
Senator George G. Perkins is the president
of the Children's Aid society of which Mr..
Wiltshire is vice-president. He has but
recently removed permanently to Los An
geles where he intends making his future
home. h
Governor, Budd was out here on February
% to look over the situation, but was de.
tanned at SACRAMENTO upon more important
public business. He will arrive here for
the purpose of selecting a successor to
Andrew Mullen, on March 4.

HAYMARKETS LEFT OUT
Some one has blundered about the city
hall, and as result an ordinance which
will soon be law is minus an important
section which it was thought was con-
tanned in the new law. The ordinance re-
ferred to is the one creating a district for
horse and mule coIrals and haynarkets.
The latter avocation has been. for some
reason unexplained, overlooked in the law
as it was signed by the mayor. The Fiesta
management appears 10 be the most
interested in the matter, the. execu-
tive, committee having intended to
hold large part of its set
program on the site of the haymarket,
located on Sixth street near Hope, instead
of at Central park, as heretofore. The new
ordinance was intended to remove the hay
market referred to, which will now be i'm
possible unless it is amended. which may
be done at the next meeting OF the council.
NATURAL GAS ON PAPER
The following signed by Easterday

M. Francois D'Hauterive gave party of
friends at down town French restaurant
yesterday the following little biography of
M. Coquelin, the famous French comedian,
who, with Judic, was with us SO recently.
Coquelin was born at Boulogne-sur-Mer of
a family of bakers and other small trades
of his art. A Partisan who was passing
through Boulogne spoke to Coquelin pere
of the success which his son had obtained.
"If pardon him" replied he, "for becom-
ing comedian, it is because he is the first
in his art, as | am in mine." The boy
Coquelin had been brought up in the idea
that he should succeed to his fathers busi-
ness. but the youngster at an early age
manifested his prediction for the stage
by stealing out of the house in the even
ing and running to hear some
melodrama of Bouchardy. But what COM
pletely turned his head was the evening
that the great Rachel, passing through
pldycu IeCOuVTeuTs
Landed in Paris, he sought out the illus
trious actor. Regnier, then professor in
the conservatoire, the examination for adj
mission to which Is no small matter, the
number of candidates being always large.
Coquelin failed. ''Oh, no! That boy is
too sinfully ugly" exclaimed Nine. Angus
tine Brohan, one of the judges. "Look at
his big nose, shaped like trumpet" Reg
nier. however, took the boy into his class
and for a long time labored in vain to tone
down his exuberances, till finally he sug.
gested that Coquelin should assume the
parts of capitalists. So. though only 20,
he had to grow old and to walk and speak
heavily. At the Tour d'Auvergne theater
one day he played with that
brilliant soubrette, Mile. Delahaye,
in Tartuffe, he taking the Hart of
Orgon. When il became time for him to
retire after his stormy interview with Dor
inc saying, "Her insolent remarks have
put me in such passion, must go out to
recover myself" mocking voice in the Or
chestra called out, ''That's it, my good fell
low. go out and keep out" Coquelin full of
wrath and despair sought his master Reg
Hier, declared he would play capitalist no
longer, even if he had to renomce the
stage. At Regnler's advice he took up the
part of valet once more. He played the
role of Scapin in des Fouberies. It was
wonderful! All the old exuberence gone,
his gestures were moderate, his voice
came from the chest naturally. Coquelin
triumphed, and one year later left the con-
servatory with the first prize in his pocket.
Today he is inimitable-the cleverest COM
edian in Europe.
