The STREET RAILWAY
COMPANY PROMISES TO REPAIR
BROADWAY PAVING
WORK BEGINS IN SIXTY DAYS
Police Commission Will Make Public
Investigation of Police Methods
on Friday Afternoon

For over year Street Superintendent
D.ain has argued with the Los Angeles
Street Railway company for the repair of
the Broadway paving along and between
the car tracks. Very much to his salts
faction, he learned yesterday that his work
had not been in vain In the afternoon he
was informed by Superintendent Wood of
the company in question that within sixty
days work will begin, and not only will the
street surfacing be repaired along the
company's tracks, but other desirable and
inlpor:an; improvem ments will be made
The company proposes to put In new
track from First to Seventh streets, using
heavy granite blocks on each side, and In
snort, making the roadbed Of the same ex
celent standard as that now on Main and
Spring streets. The space between the
tracks and a distance Of two feet on each
side will be resurfaced, thus practically
putting Broadway In as goodfconGttior as
airy street In the city.
The surfacing of the street on each side
Of the rails has long been the subject of
frequent complaint because of the num-
erous holes and low places caused by the
constant repairs to the rail joints Other
wise the surfacing Is In good condition and
with the Improvement now promised will
last fer years.

BRYAN WILL RESIGN
Not Enamored of Routine Garrison
DutY

OULy
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20.-A special to
the Star from Jacksonville, Fla. says:
Colonel William Jennings Bryan of the
Third Nebraska Volunteers will shortly re-
sign his commission in the United States
army and resume the discussion Of public
questions This statement Is not made on
the authority Of Colonel Bryan, however,
When asked to express himself on ques-
tions of public interest. he said: you may
say that 1 refuse to discuss any matters
connected with politics, the army or my
self, except that I see no reason to change
the views in regard to the expanding Of
territory Of the United States 1 expressed
in my Omaha speech made before entering
upon this army life."
This was all Colonel Bryan would say,
except to add:
"You might also say that I am not so
enamored of camp life that would at the
close of war apply for commission In the
regular army"
The Third Nebraska Is slated for Cuba
and unless Colonel Bryan resigns. will,
within few weeks. go south. While he
will not say what he is going to do or when,
there is no question that Colonel Bryan Is
going to do something and do 1t soon. That
he has determined upon a course which
will require some action in the NEAR future
means that he Is going to resign his COM
mission, issue a statement as to why he
does this, and enter the discussion of pub
lie questions on lines somewhat more ex-
tended than in the past.

LOS ANGELES.-The many friends of
the genial T. Daniel Frawley will have an
opportunity of seeing him tonight in a role
In which he is said to do the best work he

role in "The Rajah" during its recent pro-
duction In San Francisco, and he will doubt
promised that the play will have an elabo-
rate staging. and should prove one of the
gems of the present season. A brief out
line of the plot of 1.-THE Rajah" Is as fol-
lows:
A young English army officer had
been stationed In Nepaul, in India. The
death of an uncle who had left very large
estate necessitated his return to his home,
as from among all Of his nephews the
uncle had selected him as the executor of
the estate and guardian of his young daugh-
ter. 1t seems that the uncle had never
known the young officer. who had been
dubbed "The Rajah." and he therefore
comes to manage the estate, a total
stranger to his young cousin. The girl i'm
AGNES she Is not going to like him. but later
learns to love him for his manly character
and more particularly from little incident
whereby he was enabled to almost save
her life. In the managing of the estate
there Is quite friction between 1.-THE
Rajah" and the striking workmen, who are
lead by an ex-convict. the villain of the
play.

LEoTI AVENUE
Real Estate Dealers Claim on Natural
Soil Grading

SOIL 9raQ1nE
Mr.. Cook, of the real estate firm of Cook
e Pearsons, is an enthusiastic defender Of
Leoti avenue and the natural soil' with
which 1t Is graded. His firm has for a
number of years owned the tract of resi-
dence property through which the street in
question runs, and its recent grading and
curbing cost them $3.50.
Mr.. Cook contends that the material used
for the grading will make as good street
as any graveled thoroughfare in the city.
For twelve years have paid taxes on the
abutting property" he said yesterday, land
have helped to grade number of other
streets in the vicinity with the very same
kind Of material. They are all being
sprinkled, too. Now have put $3.50 in
Leoti avenue. and 1t Is a good street. I
want 1t sprinkled, and propose that It shall
be-"
Mr.. Cook acknowledged that many OF the
streets in the vicinity are not graded with
the proper kind of soil ana that gravelly
soil is not found excepting in patches. One
block may be good, the next bad. 1t there
for follows that much bad grading has
been done in the district under the supposi-
ton that a gravelly soil was common to the
entire surface. 1t was also acknowledged
that there were no residences on Leoti
avenue. excepting one at the corner of
Adams, which is properly an Adams street
residence The question occurring to the
board of public works Is, "Why should
money be spent to sprinkle street not yet
built upon?"
Street Superintendent Drain has the ques-
