THAT SMEETS CASE

Comment OccasiOned by Alleged Peculiar
Tactics
Upon motion of Deputy District Attorney
James, the case against Louisa Smeets, an
Alameda-street prostitute, was yesterday
continued to be reset. The woman was ar
rested on February 18th for yagrancy.
She demanded a jury trial, and the case
after one continuance, was set for yester-
day at 8 80. The woman meanwhile had
been released on $50 cash bail. When the
case was called the woman failed to ap.
pear, and it developed that she had left
town some days since and had gone to San
Diego.
The cash bail, which had been put up by
well-known official, had been drawn
down, with the consent of Mr.. James.
Some comment was caused by certain re.
marks of the arresting officer who was on
hand to prosecute the case, and who pro-
fessed surprise that the defendant was not
produced to stand trial, as he claimed to
have evidence sufficient to justify con-
viction. Mr.. James states that he allowed
the bail to be drawn down on being as
sured that the woman had left town for
good, he thinking that such was the easiest
and best way out OF it. Accommodations
at the jail are Inadequate for female pris-
oners. and cases of this kind, when con.
victed, are nearly always given fioaters to
enable them to leave town.
ENln this case the woman had already
gone, the bail was Withdrawn and the mat.
ter rests to be reset, ready to be pressed
should the Smeets female return TO this
city. The district attorney says he will
vindicate his actions in the premises and
will in any case OF similar nature act on
the same lines, as being conducive to rid
ding the city of undesirable persons with
out the expense of trial.

FIESTA PLANS FLOURISH
The Amount Of Subscriptions In aud the
Amount Yet Wanted
Emerge a Number of Fiesta Clubs.
Liberty Pole and Other nntters

The Farmers and Merchants bank has
shown its appreciation of the great benefits
derived by this city from the Fiesta by
voluntarily increasing its subscription from
500 TO $3.50.
The total amount secured by the Fiesta
committee thus far is nearly $21 900,
leaving about $4,000 to be raised. In the
near future special committees will be ap-
pointed to interview those who have failed
to respond to the request of subscription,
as much of the success of the celebration
depends upon the financial support and
tho amount of money secured. In order
to carry out the plans of the management
in all their details it is absolutely neces-
sary that 81 1000 be secured.
On Tuesday evening next the Athletic
club will tender a "smoker" to the Fiesta
workers at its rooms in tho Stowell block,
On that occasion the young men will be
specially appealed to for their assistance
and enthusiasm to make the carnival a
success. Between refreshments and ci-
gars a discussion will be had looking tow
ard the organization of a number of Fiesta
clubs, the members of which will be ex.
pected to take an active part in the events
of the week. These clubs will be COM
posed of the best element of young men,
and will be formed after the manner of the
Mystic Krewe and knights of Comus of St.
Louis and New Orleans. They form dis
tinct parts of the celebration, and the iden-
tity of the participants is only known to
the members of the respective organiza-
tons.
The park commissioners have consented
to arrange for the erection of the liberty
pole at Sixth-street park, and for its con-
veyance from the railroad depot
to the place of its destina-
ordered from the state of washington and
has been donated by the w. II. Perry
Lumber company, that pays the expenses
of transportation to San Pedro. Ii will be
from 100 to l2O feet in length and will be
brought to this city on special train. A
program has been arranged for ceremonies
prior and during the erection of the pole,
around which the school children will
gather on the afternoon of Friday, April
24th, when the stars and stripes will be
hosted and saluted by $4,000 young
Americans. Professor Foshay, who is
chairman of the committee on flag raising,
believes that only small percentage of
the school children will fail to participate
in the patriotic event.
Mr.. J. Fred Blake of the Southern Cali.
fornia committee has for the past week
been i'll San Diego with viaw of securing
from that city a float for the parades. His
efforts have been successful, and it is al
most an assured fact that San Diego will
be handsomely represented in the process
sion of floats. that will show to the tourists
the resources and development of Southern
California.

street, Boyle Heights. At No. 333 Chicago
street he owns a coy little cottage, and
all would be we'll with him but for his be-
setting sin, drink. 1t is alleged that he
goes on periodical sprees and while intox-
icated brutally beats and abuses his wife.
Some four years ago Sturdy became SO
bad that he was committed to the insane
asylum at Napa, where he remained over
eight months. He was discharged as cured,
but resumed his drinking again. Night be-
fore last he got drunk and. coming home,
commenced abusing his wife. She stood
it as long as possible. but he finally be-
came SO violent that she escaped from the
house, afraid she would be killed should
she remain. This was the last straw and
yesterday an action for divorce was insti-
tuted. Habituai intemperance is the cause
given and there seems little doubt but
what Mrs. Sturdy will get her decree. On
the advice of her lawyers the warrant of
arrest was sworn out and Sturdy will be
prosecuted on charge of threats to kill.
Constable Quinn has good cause to re-
member his man, as some years ago,
while in Jail, Sturdy broke three ribs and a
finger for him while he was endeavoring to
subdue him in a drunken frenzy. When
he went after the blacksmith yesterday he
took along another man for good luck.
Sturdy, however, was sober and made no
trouble,

PASADENA GRAND OPERA HoUsE.--There
was any amount of fun at the Pasadena
grand opera house last night when the in
before delighted audience in his we'll
known play, Pair of Kids. The fun was
continuous from the moment Mr.. Kendall
struck the stage in his familiar character
of the old countryman, Giles Button. The
burlesque baseball act is one of the fun
nlest pieces OF comedy ever seen on any
stage, while his parodies and the ballads
of Miss Kingsley were also among the
many amusing and entertaining features
of the play. Ezra Kendall and Company
OF comedians will appear tonight at the

THE ORPHEUM.-Only q few nights re-
main in which to hear Rachel Walker, the
creole nightingale, who has been the star
attraction at the Orpheum during the past
three weeks. That sweet singer has de-
lighted everyone who has heard her. Last
night. by special request, she sang The
Last Rose of Summer and Swanee River,
the crowded house applauded her to the
echo. Carroll Johnson bids fair to become
almost as great a favorite. Billy Carter,
the jolly minstrel, Lorraine and Howell,
burlesque artists, Tina Corri, male imper-
senator. Walter Stanton, the giant rooster.
and the ever humorous acrobats, Heeley
and Marba, conclude the excellent pro-
gram.
The BURBANK.-Tomorrow afternoon a
grand gift matinee will be given for bows
and girls. Twelve life-sized photographs
OF little Mildred will be given away, and
each boy and girl attending the perform
ance will have a chance to secure one of
these handsome pictures. Little Mildred
will conduct the drawing. The attraction
will be The Power of the Press, and un-
doubtedly the house will be crowded on the
occasion. Saturday evening will be the last
production of this piece, it making way
on Sunday night for the laughuble comedy
Baby, preceded by the curtain-raiser, The
