REGISTRATION IN ORDER
FOR CITY LAB0RERS
BY Virtue of Charter Amendments
Another Class of Men Comes
Under Civil Service

The civil service commission yester-
day decided that A. II. Reavis,
deputy in the Office of the city as
SCISSOR. is not entitled to the benefits
of the civil service system. ReaVis is
one of a number of deputies who
claimed his position by virtue of the
adoption of civil service while he was
employed by the city.
The commission has decided that
Reavis was not an employe of the city
when the civil service law went into
effect. ReaVis' name was dropped
from the roll of eligibles.
About fifty laborers have already
registered, as provided in the new
charter amendment. President Thom-
as appointed Commissioners Haines
and Edelman as a committee to pre-
pare a set of rules for the certification
and appointment of laborers.
The employment of men in this
classification in the street and park
departments is at a standstill until
the commission shall determine the
methods whereby they are to be given
places.

CALLEDTO PREACH ON STREET
Strange Applicant Appears Before the
Police Commission

1T am called to preach the gospel
and 1 want permit TO speak on the
streets. / am sure God will bless you,
let me have this permit. l expect TO
preach the true gospel. Christ appeared
to me and told me to do this"
In such manner Carl Swanson made
application to the board of police com
missioners yesterday for permission TO
carry out what he believes to be the
divine command. No attention was
paid to his request and he went away
grievously disappointed.
Swanson has the air of mystic and
the looks of a tramp. His hair Is un-
kempt and his eyes stare straight be-
fore him as if he would penetrate the
veil of futurity with his searching
gaze.
His shoes were in shreds and his
coat was held in place across his breast
with "a safety pin. Yes" he said, aft
er the commission meeting, II have
been commanded by God himself to go
forth and do his work. He has given
me the light and 1 am all ready. II l
do not so the consequences will be Sc
rious."
No one appeared TO know Swanson
and he came without announcement
of any kind Similarly he faded away
into the winter sunshine after he had
failed to secure the permission he de-
sired.

MAY END ALL "HOBO GRAFT
Supervisors Favor Fixed Salaries for
Constables and Justices

The day of the alleged hobo graft
is fast drawing to a close for yester-
day the board of supervisors passed a
resolution indorsing senate bills Nos
S55 and So, which purport to do away
with the fees which follow in the
wake of a "hobo's" arrest.
These bills place all constables and
justices on the salary list, their re-
spective compensations to be regulated
by the population of their respective
precincts.
In townships of less than 1000 popu-
lation the salary is fixed at $95 a
month, in townships with a popula-
tion of between 1000 and 5000 the
salary will be $50, in townships with
a population OF between 5000 and 49,
900 their compensation will be $75 a
month"; while in townships of over 15,-
900 population the bills fix the salaries
at 500 a month.

Spe axis of Her Work in

Gods child, follower and fellow
worker of Jesus Christ, the winner of

Sc much akin to that of our blessed
Lord. Mrs. Maud Balington BOOTH"
These were the words used by Rev. f..
p. Ryland in introducing Mrs. Booth.
who is known in the prisons through
out the United States as Little
Mother" last evening at the First
Baptist church when she addressed a
large audience on her work among the
prisons.
Mrs. Booth held her audience spell
bound with narratives of her work,
pathetic and humorous. She said in
part:
when I went into this work many
told me it would be so futile that
would give it up, but [ came back here
and shall not have to tell a story of
helplessness. have greater hope and
confidence of the possibility of reform
ing those within the walls of the state
prisons.
Il would to God, instead of drawing
pictures for you, could let you see the
wonderful audiences in prison chapels
and see our boys there. You, too.
would believe there Is much gold even
beneath the brass, and, reaching it. re-
claim it as good coin of the kings
realm.
When I first went into the prison
l..
come national. l went into prison with
the feeling that there was something
there to redeem and with the power Of
God would accomplish it. The mes
sage we take to the prison walls is

and that sunshine can reacn even be-
tween prison bars
Poor Folsoml 1t has made my
heart ache to think that the people of
this state look upon it as place of
desperate brutes. There are 1901 men,
$50 of whom have life sentences with
nothing to lose and everything to gain,
with no prison walls. A prison with
out walls is a great temptation. If
YOU and | were there and could see
the green hills and trees we might
make a break, and l am quite sure
should. / have no word of censure,
but | tell you a few thousand dol
lars could well be used to build suit
able prisons and walls, which would re-
move temptation. | think there will
come a time when every effort will be
made to make the prison a place for
reform.
THE blame rests not on the prison
ers or officials, but on the shoulders of
the public who care not for the reform
of these public charges or that they be
brutalized.
Il should have no fear of spending
any hour of the day in any Of the
prisons where it is commonly believed
are only desperadoes,'
Mrs. Booth win speak this afternoon
before the members of the Friday
Morning club at the Womans club
house and this evening at the Hotel
Green, Pasadena. Tomorrow she will
go to Santa Barbara and later north
where she will visit the prisons.

Many Encores Demanded

Madame Melba's second number was
the Tosti "Serenata,'' with harp ac-
compartment. When she had been
recalled several times she sang Good
BY" with such magic of tone and
phrasing that every man who did not
care for operate selections awoke to
enthusiasm. There was a demonstra-
ton so spontaneous and persistent that
the diva smilingly returned to sing
Comm Through the Rye" Then all
who remembered PATHS encores dis
covered that Melba's Comm Through
the Rye" was superior to any previous
prima donna's singing of the old tune.
Arditis Valse "Se Saran Rose" was
Madame Melba's last program num-
Der, but when the applause continued
after she had bowed again and again,
she sang little Italian song to which
she played her own accompaniment.
Although Mr. Ellison Van Hoose the
famous American tenor, and Charles
Gilbert. the French baritone, are mem
bers of the concert company, Signorina
Sassoli, the young harpist really
divided the honors with the prima
donna. This talented Italian girl in
short dresses won instant sympathy,
for she is beautiful and she has most
attractive stage presence. In the
opening trio for harp, piano and flute
she proved that she has tremendous
technique but later in the ''Nordische
Ballad" she showed that she has much
poetic feeling. She responded to
recall and the audience expressed de-
lighted appreciation of her rare talent.
Eighteenth Century Songs
M. Gilbert was first heard in two
French songs of the eighteenth CEN
tury, "Plaisir d Amour" (MartinD and
"Jeunes Fillettes" CWekerlin). After
ward he sang "Maigre Moi" He has
a voice of big range and he sings with
the finish and style of the artist. Mr..
Van Hoose sang the aria Celeste Aida
from Verdi's opera in Il manner that
would have caused more than ordinary
enthusiasm If Madame Melba had not
been the star of the evening. Because
of their association with MaLame Melba
both the tenor and the baritone re-
ceived less than their fair share Of
consideration. Charles X. North, who
played the flute is also an artist
Taken as whole Madame Melba's
company is the best that has toured
this country in concert.

MELBA ENCHANTS
HUGE AUDIENCE
FAMOUS SINGER is RECEIVED
WITH ENTHUSIASM
Prims Donna Is in Wonderful Voice,
and She eraeiously Responds
to the Many Demands
for Encores

Madame Melba was greeted last
evening by an audience that filled Tenn
pie auditorium. There we're few
vacant seats on the main floor, most
of the boxes were occupied and both
the galleries were crowded. Not since
Paderewski appeared this season has
there been such brilliantly attired
audience. All the hotels in Pasadena
and Los Angeles sent parties of music
lovers and society in both cities was
well represented.
Madame Melba was in a most gra-
cious mood. Her wonderful voice was
at it's best and she gave of il generously
in many encores. Her first number
was the mad scene from Lucia di
Lammermoor." This was sung with
flute obligato, daring challenge to
criticism that only vocalist of mar
velous endowment could successfully
carry off. Those who had heard
Madame Melba in opera remembered
her Lucia with an enduring pleasure
and last evening the mad scene was
given with such superb tonal effect that
the lack of dramatic force was not
missed by the audience. The voice of
crystalline purity and exquisite sweet
ness blended with the flute and in the
perfection of the singers art revealed
its fleXibility, its velvety quality and
its great compass. The supreme
charm of this superb soprano voice is
it's peculiar freshness and briliancy. 1t
has certain beauty unequaled at the
present time. There are prima donnas
who possess more temperament and
more dramatic power, but Madame
Melba can claim PATHS place. so far as
the voice and the art which controls it
are concerned.
