MUSIC NOTES
Genevra Johnstone-Bishop Concert
Company at Music Hall

The unerring instinct which keeps Los
Angeles people away from any music
that they have reason to believe is
good, was again in evidence last even
ing. Even the bait Of Society" failed
to draw to Music hall enough Of an au-
dience to fill more than quarter of the
seats on the floor at the concert given by
the Genevra Johnstone- Bishop concert
company.
Whether because of the depressing
rows Of empty chairs, or because she has
overtaXed her voice or strength or per-
haps for all these reasons, Madame
Bishops performance was very different
last night from that of last April. All
her singing was distinctly an effort, and
in the high notes her voice was fire.
quently forced off the key.
In the tremendous eXactions of Bee
thoven's "Ah Perfido," Madame Bish-
ops present, and, without doubt, tenn
porary limitations were naturally most
apparent. In a group of ballads later
in the evening many of the delightful
qualities in her voice and her art were
in evidence; but the great love duet from
la Traviata," which she sang with Mr..
Fellows and which closed the program,
eluded her grasp.
Mrs. Gertrude Sturgeon Colby, who is
the solo pianist as well as accompanist
for the singers, showed a clean tech
nique, flexible wrists and fingers, and a
very nice touch. Her rendition of the
wonderful fire music from die Valky-
rie" was adequate, and an octave etude
and encore in fifths later on were bril-
liantly played.
H. ]. Fellows, the other member of the
concert company, is lyric tenor with a
deliciously sweet, smooth voice of wide
range and considerable power When
he forces his head tones there is tend
ency to be strident, but otherwise and
in mezzo voce the quality is entirely
agreeable. his enunciation delightfully."-
clear and the whole handling of his voice
is thoroughly artistic.

MORE PLUGS
Commission Orders Better
Protection
FOR THE PRINCIPAL STREETS
ALONG EACH BLOCK ON MAIN
AND SPRING
FOR THE PRINCIPAL STREETS
Majority of Property Owners for Re
surfacing Main Street Has Been
Secured-City Hall Notes

The regular session of the board or
fire commissioners yesterday morning
was not of long duration. In accordance
with instructions from the board Chle1
Moore presented report designating the
places where the proposed new two-way
fire hydrants can be placed along Spring
street to the best advantage. He recon-
mended that one such hydrant be
placed in each block on the east side OF
Spring street from Franklin to Fifth
streets. These hydrants are to have
six-inch inlet pipes and valves and are
to be large enough to supply water "
two fire engines. The Merchants and
Manufacturers association called the
attention Of the board to the necessary
of such additional fire equipment. The
hydrants needed on Main street Will be
located later by the chief.
The sale Of old worn out material used
by the fire department brought $oO into
the pension fund and a receipt from the
city clerk for this amount was filed.
Chief Moore also reported the payment
of $50 as fines for infraction of the rules
Of the department by James Velsir and
p. c. Meyers.
Fred T. Hughes. who was recently
elected to the position of meat inspector
in the health department, sent in his
resignation as callman in the fire de-
partment which was accepted. AS 1t is
unlawful for one person to receive two
salaries from the city. he of course de-
cided to take the new place, which pays
SIS per month.
Chief Moore reported that the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
was considering the matter OF washing
the paved streets instead Of sweeping
them, and would perhaps send in COM
munication on that subject He stated
that the hydrants could be used for that
purpose. A number of cities now use
that plan of cleaning the streets.
The applications of William s. Doel-
ling and Charles H. Balzer for appoint
ment as callmen were received and filed.
The petition of Oliver Kinds for permis-
sion to operate a pottery kiln at SOC
East Main street was referred to the
chief with power to act. ..

Robbed on the Street

Last evening at about 1880 Mrs. J. H.
Loveland, who resides at 221 South
Bunker Hill avenue, having been out to
purchase her Thanksgiving chicken, was
returning home alone, and when at the
corner of Second street and Grand ave-
nue. man ran up, rudely seized her by
the arm, grabbed her purse and glove
which she was carrying in her hand and
ran down Grand avenue. Mrs. Love-
lands cries soon brought a crowd of peo-
pie to the spot, but the thief had made
good his escape and the lady was so ex-
cited she could give no description of her
assailant. The purse contained IS in
gold and some small change.

OPPOSE A CHANGE
Some Merchants Content With the
Hitching Ordinance

The opposition among the business men
along Main street to the anti-hitching
ordinance is not unanimous. 1t is un-
derstood that a number of them will pro-
test against its modification or amend
ment or against the passage of another
ordinance. They assert that the plan
to place time limit on hitching destroys
just the intention of the measure. One
of their arguments is that team may
be hitched for any period under the time
limit and then after moving a few feet
may stand for another twenty minutes
OF half an hour.
1t is hardly probable that the protest
will be considered unless it represents a
large number of business men, because a
majority of the city council are in favor
of changing the measure.

RESURFACING SURE
Majority Of Property Frontage on
Main Street Secured

The resurfacing of Main street In a
manner similar to that Of Spring street
is now assured. Several weeks ago
petition was filed in which it was sup
posed that the majority Of the frontage
was represented. 1t was discovered that
there was one conditional signature.
which prevented action by the majority
and the petition was withdrawn. Yes
terday, however, the required majority
was secured and the petition will be
filed sometime between now and the time
for the regular session of the city council
Monday. Along with it will be the or
dinance Of intention for the work and
this measure will be passed by the coun-
Gil at once.
The work Of securing the consent of
the owners of majority Of the frontage
along the street was performed by Po-
lice Commissioner George McLain.

A Drunken Mans Freak

Jack Weston drank something strong
er than water yesterday, which resulted
in a mental condition that caused him
for the time being to forget all distinc-
tion in property rights. AS he walked
up Broadway he saw horse and wagon
belonging to Leroy Castet, which was
hitched in front of yard at No GA. He
unhitched the horse and was about to
drive away when the owner came run
ming out and stopped him.
Officer Hubbard was near at hand, and
after inquiring the cause of the trouble,
placed the drunken man under arrest.
AT the police station he was charged

preparing for Thanksgiving, and the
officer stopped the pedestrian and asked
him to give an account of himself. The
latter was unable to satisfactorily ex-
plain his possession of the fowl and
was taken into custody. At the police
station he was booked on suspicion. The
prisoner save his name as J. w. Christ.
