Judge Mogan dismissed the battery
charge against George E. Stickel and
Dora Mowry because the complaining
witness, Sam Bowley, notified the
court that he had decided to refrain
from prosecuting. Bowley's skull was

in StickePs room in the Geary street

Discovery of a flaw in the formal
complaint against Miss Lena NJ. Wal

charge Of obtaining money under false
pretenses that was filed last August.
The clerical defect was quickly rem
edied, however, and the case will be
heard by Judge Fritz tomorrow.
The defendant is known also as "the
Hetty Green of Alaska" and the
Queen of Nome" and the felony
charge is the outcome of a mining
deal in which she participated. She

the premium on a pianoforte which
she claimed to have been destroyed by

hear testimony next Wednesday and
the woman will probably conduct her

Police Judge Mogan decided that
Mrs Miller, a middle-aged lady OF
Amazonian demeanor, was primarily
responsible for the battery charge on
which her son James, was arrested, but
as she was not formally accused of the
offense her offspring must serve as a
vicarious sacrifice to the ends of
Justice
1t was proved that James had as
saulted NJ. Sextus Of 3138 Pierce street
at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of Friday,
November II, and the defense pleaded
provocation more than ample to justify
the battery. Mrs. Miller and her young
daughter, it was avered, were passing
the Sextus dwelling when Mrs. Sextus,
wife Of the complainant, shouted in
menacing tone: Mrs. Miller, you'd
better prevent your daughter interfer-
ing with my young daughter!"
WhereupOn, according to the prose-
cution, Mrs. Miller retorted in Ian
guage so profane as to shock Mrs.
SeXtus and impel Mr.. SeXtus to emerge
from his house and sternly command
Mrs. Miller to cease her TRADE. The
little Miller girl then ran home and told
her big brother James that Mr.. Sextus
was saying awful things to her mann
ma, and James promptly responded by
rushing TO the scene of hostility and
shifting Mr.. SeXtus' jaw.
Various witnesses testified that the
words addressed by Mrs. Miller to Mrs.
SeXtus were utterly unfit for publica-
ton, and various other witnesses testl-
fed that Mrs. Miller's language was
ultra-refined as compared with the oral
outpourings of both Mr.. and Mrs. Sex
tuS The Judge however held that
Mrs. Miller was more aggressive than
her opponents in the debate. and eX-
pressed regret that she was not ar
rested instead Of her son, whose action
in defending his mother was entirely
filial, if unwarranted by law.
Sentence was deferred till next Satur-
day.
Judge Cabaniss dismissed Louis Par

Miss May MAIZENA,, who prefers that she

it is much prettier name. In support

Jean Pom, who has figured conspicu-
ously in connection with the manage

street, was charged before Judge Mo-
gan with having maliciously broken
window of the restaurant which is a
part of those disreputable premises.
He pleaded great provocation, aver
ring that after being utilized as cats
paw and stalking horse and several
other things by Messrs. Mariscano and
Sellinger, owners of 1929. they re-
warded his services by throwing him
out of the cafe that yielded him live
lihood. Frenzied by their ingratitude,
to say nothing of the spleen aroused
by their rough handling of him, he
smashed the glass. Judge Mogan will
hear further details next Wednesday.

a "TechnicaI Director
for English Grand Opera

The great revival of interest this year in
the works OF Wagner, on account of the
production OF "Parsifal' in America has
opened the way for a technical director
for grand opera productions. The latest
imported genius along this line is Joseph
Engel late of the Imperial Theater at
Strasburg, as technical director for Henry
w. Savages English Grand Opera Com
pany. Herr Engel arrived from Germany
and took charge of Mr.. Savage's English
grand opera productions during the recent
New York engagement.
Director Engel was born forty years ago
on his fathers stage, in KrollS Garden. the
summer home of grand opera in Berlin.
After krOllS Garden was converted into the
new Royal Opera House by imperial de-
cree Herr Engel spent a year at the Grand
Opera in Paris, four years at the Stadt in
Bremen and then five years at Strasburg.
He has staged all the Wagnerian operas
except "Parsfal. we'll the entire rep
ertoire of Italian and French operas that
have been sung during the past fifteen
years.
A technical director" as the term is
employed by Henry w. Savage and Helm
rich Conried. of the metropolitan, is man
so well schooled in stagecraft that he can
not only put on an opera with all the tradi-
tional business called for in the author s
original manuscript, but can create bust
ness either for old opera or IL new one
about 10 be produced. He must be well
schooled in stage lore. knowing how the
classic music dramas have always been in
terpreted
The engagement of this foreign director
by Mr.. Savage is further evidence that he
has determined to bring English Grand
Opera in America TO the highest point of
perfection possible. 1t is in keeping with
his enlarged organization this season, that
includes a full grand opera orchestra and
two musical conductors. Eastern critics
credit Mr.. Savage with giving more COM
plete and satisfactory performances than
ever before during the eight years history
of his famous organization.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Last Monday evening, during the per-

clever comedy, Her Own Way" by Maxine
Elliott and her excellent company, the four
children who enact important parts in the
piece were standing in group behind the
scenes, waiting for their cue 10 "go on the

OF the theater, noticed that a cold draft
was blowing upon the youngsters. Three
of the little tots were in short stockings.

tops to their knees, and Tull was afraid
that they might catch cold. He walked up
TO the Juvenile Thespians and suggested
that il would be we'll for them to retire to
a spot where the draft would not strike
them. They paid no attention TO him and
he then became aware OF the fact that they
were engaged in heated argument among
themselves.
Master Donald Gallaher. to whom Miss
Elliott ialludes as her leading man.. was
endeavoring TO explain his dignihed position
in the organization to little Frances Clinton
and the other children-Marie Hirsch and
Dollie King-were taking opposite sides in
the same controversy. Little Miss Clinton
held that she was of just as much import

estimation she was Just Il wee bit more i'm

burst of Indignation. she held up one little
finger and shook IL threateningly under Mr.

Judging from the excellent reputation of
some of the performers engaged, the new
