THREE CLEVER WOMEN IN
GOOD BILL AT ORPHEUM

Three clever women shine in a bright
bill at the Orpheum this week-Lydia
Yeamans Titus. Louise Dresser and
Grace Gardner, the last of whom was
one of the hits of last week with Louis
Simon in 1.-The New Coachman." All
three have been seen before in Los
Angeles, and all that vaudevillians ask
at the Spring street shop is that they
be seen and heard again before many
seasons roll by.
Lydia Yeamans Titus is best known
as the originator of the baby song,
but she initiates other voices beside
that of the child. Would-be sopranos,
Adelina Patti and italian grand opera
singers all come in her repertoire and
all are done well.
Miss Dresser, sister of Paul Dresser,
sings too, or rather talks her songs.
Her three selections, a comic song,
little tragedy in melody and topical
song, were all received enthusiastically.
Miss Gardner's talents do not get
the opportunity to shine out so clearly
as those of the other two clever Or
pheum women, for the predominating
feature Of the skit, THE New Coach
man." is the way Louis Simon handles
a step ladder. But there is one thing
that possibly few realize and that is
that without the refining influence of
Miss Gardner's stage presence and
happy faculty of reading meaning into
her lines, the effect would be one of

1t is good bill throughout barring
some vulgar pictures of 1.-The Holy

Trio, the merit of which aggregation
could be all boiled down to the one

DELAY IN ISSUE OF
CITY SCHOOL BONDS
Eastern Financial Experts Have Not
Yet Made Their
Report

The county board Of supervisors al
their meeting yesterday afternoon with
drew the order for the issuance OF
$7S0,000 worth of school bonds recently
voted upon favorably by the people OF
Los Angeles county until such time as
the bond attorneys could have oppor-
tunity to investigate the issue.
The bids for the bonds were to have
been opened May Is and advertisements
for their sale had been published.
President Washburn Of the city schoo
board, however, put a quietus on the
issuance by appearing before the county
supervisors yesterday and announcing
that a delay in the transaction would
be beneficial, as eastern financial
authorities had failed to make re-
port upon the bonds.
1t was understood that the selling OF
the bonds might prove difficult without
the seal Of approval given by eastern
experts. and so the board was unanim-
Gus I'm its vote to temporarily Withdraw
the order for the issuance.
The bonds amounted to $26O.OOO for
the high school and $4,000 for the
primary schools.

ANTI-SALO0N ELECTION
Is SET FOR JUNE 2
Period of Registration for Voters
Came to an End Yes
terday

The voters of the city of Los Angeles
will decide for or against saloons Fri
day, June 2.
This is the date inserted in the initia-
tive election proclamation by the coun-
ell yesterday, and it is understood will
be satisfactory both to the hackers of
the liquor men and the anti-saloor
faction.
One vitally important point involve
in the setting of the election for this
date is this: 1t is now too late Ia
register and unregistered voters who
have been putting the action off from
day to day and waiting for definite
action by the council will now have to
content themselves with standing
around and watching the other fellow
decide whether Los Angeles shall be
wet or dry.
The law provides in initiative and
special elections that voters must regis
ter or secure their transfers twenty-five
days before the date set for the cleo
tlon, thus yesterday was the last day
open for such registration.

meeting of the Ohio society last even
ing. when natives of the Buckeye state
gathered to do honor to their adopted
land. 1t was Los Angeles throughout
the whole evening, and the sentiment of
the meeting was expressed by L. G.
Gates in speaking of the growth and
popularity OF the city when he said
that the population is two hundred and
one million. The mistake was cor
rected at once, but the sentiment had
been expressed. Under the direction

as has not been seen since that festival

BABE MAKES MERRY
AT INSANITY TRIAL
Sixteen-Pound Child Makes Friends
With 3oo-Pound
nanI.fU


A sxteen-pound baby and a 300-pound
deputy sheriff gave free exhibition
of devotion in Judge Wilbur's depart
ment of the superior court yesterday
afternoon. which kept the spectators
at the trial of Alice K. Riner. charged
with insanity, in a constant state of
mirth.
The baby belonged to one of the
witnesses in the case and Immediately
upon its entrance to the court room
became alarmed at the quiet and
started to sing to itself.
Later the sound waxed louder and
regular torrent of infantile happi-
ness poured from the babys throat.
Deputy Hutchinson volunteered to
quiet the child.
AS the officer reached the baby its
voice touched the highest pitch and
the spectators leaned forward in anti
cipation of the trouble to come. But
the baby leaped into the arms of the
big deputy and leaning it's tiny head
on his shoulder spent the remainder
of the time attempting to get hand
full of his mustaches.
Alice K. Riner, fifty-two years of
age, was the defendant in the case. She
had but recently recovered from ty-
phoid fever and her mind had broken
under the strain of the disease. She
imagined she was filled with electricity
She was ordered committed to Patton

BRIGHT COMEDY
At THE BELASCO
HARRlET'S HONEYMOON WELL
PRESENTED
DIFFICULTIES ARE OVERCOME
Actor Stricken With Sudden illness
PluekiIy Resumes His Part
After Hall Of the
First Act

In the face of many difficulties the
eelasco stock company last evening
filled a comedy of unique complications
with more legitimate laughs for the
audience than anything in which they
have appeared for many weeks.
The chief of the difficulties mentioned
was the sudden illness which seized
Richard Vivian and kept him out of
the cast for the first half of the
first act.
This misfortune added to usual first
night nervousness to an extent which
made the lines of the actors run any,
thing but smoothly.
In spite of these things and in spite
of the fact that several scenes were
made over full of dialogue by the
author there was furnished an excellent
evenings enjoyment.
Joseph Galbraith made a splendid
showing as the entangled half Of a
honeymoon, made complicated by the
loss of the couples money. Amelia
Gardner provided the other part of the
bride party with her usual charm and
vivaciousness.
Thomas Oberle was every inch a
prince, and without intruding into the
limelight which belongs to the leading
man by right of stage custom, took the
greater portion of the honors of the
evening, so far as the male members
of the company were concerned. James
A. Bliss, who is entitled to the medal
for the greatest amount of improve
ment shown in the past six months,
was delightful in spite of his conspicu-
Gus lack of memory respecting his
lines. Illness did not prevent Richard
Vivian from making a memorable
character of the head waiter.
Mary Graham gave an artistic per-
formance as a silly baroness and Mar
garet Langham won favorable notice
as foolish child.
Fannie Nantes makes the most of an
opportunity to create a clever character
role. Agnes Rankin and Marie Howe
are we'll cast, although their roles are
short.
Probably nothing in the history of
Belasco productions equals the elabor-
ateness of the staging of "Harriet's
Honeymoon" and for the satisfying
attention to this important part of the
play George Barnum deserves great
praise.

DISCUSSION BY EBELL CLUB
To Have Economic independence,
Women Need Not Earn Money,
Says Mrs. Florence
Porter
DISCUSSION BY EBELL CLUB

"Women who have husbands earn
earn money in the home" This was the
general sentiment expressed yesterday
| by members of the home section of the
| Ebell club in q meeting led by Mrs.
Florence Collins Porter.
ITO have economic independence, .
said Mrs Porter, "a woman does not
need to be wage Garner, for the wo-
man who stays at home and bears her
responsibility in the home earns equal
ly with the man, and an allowance
should be made to her in equal propor-
tion to that which the man makes"
The women have decided that they
want to know more about community
property laws, and this subject also
came up for discussion, but it was
moved that the subject be considered
at more length at the next meeting, and
an invitation will be extended to Miss
Elizabeth Kinney to address the club
at that time.
Profitable occupation for women in
the home was spoken of, and instances
cited from personal knowledge where
women have earned large sums of
money without going out of the home.
What we need" said Mrs. Porter,
'is something to stay the tide of young
people which is sweeping toward the
city. 1t is one of the threatening evils
of the day. and the young women must
be encouraged to find home industries
and to seek more after life in the
country"

BIO NEW JERSEY IRON DEAL.
Bethlehem Steel Interests Said 10 Have
Bought wharton Mines in Morris Co.

Paterson, n. j.. Sept. st was an
nounced here to-day that all the iron in
terests in this State Of Thomas Wharton
have been disposed of to Charles M. Schwab
OF the Bethlehem Steel Works. The price
named in the current stories Is $4,000 900.
II is considered a conservative figure for
the mines controlled by the New Jersey
ironmaster. All the property included
in the deal Ia situated in Morris county;
near Wharton new name for Port
Dram. The mining plant gives employ
ment to nearly everybody in the town.
Rumors that the deal was to be made
were current in iron manufacturing circles
some time ago. 1t was stated to-day as
practical certainty that Mr.. Schwab has
rained control OF the Morris county in
dustry. The railroad connection between
Wha rton and the bethlehem plant is direct
and convenient. The mines at Wharton
are among the best in this part Of the coun-
try and their location near the Atlantic
seaboard makes them a desirable property.
With the rumors OF the closing OF the
Wharton deal stories were renewed that
the same interests were trying to acquire
the Passaic Steel Works, In whose capital
stock an investment was made recently.
Mr.. Schwab visited the works here some
time ago, but ID reported to have said that
he did not consider them necessary for his
operations. The Passaic company is the
largest steel manufacturing plant near the
Atlantic seaboard.

window and had been overcome. George

BALTIMORE TROLLEY BONDS UP.
Rum Ored That Great Consolidation Of
CIty's Utilities Is on Foot.

BALTIMORE, Sept 3-During the last
week securities of the United Railways
Company in this city have been soaring,
the income bonds particularly making de-
cided gains. As these have not been paying
dividends for several years. there is no ap-
parent reason for the demand. The COM
mon stock, too, has been advancing.
The activity lends color to the well defined
rumor that something definite will be done
as to refinancing the company in the early
fall.
Those who profess to represent the in
siders have for many months predicted
that the same interests that now dominate
the Consolidated Gas, Electric Light. and
Power Company as well as the Consolidated
Gas Company will eventually get the United
Railways
The United company has a monopoly OF
the street car system In Baltimore Alex,
ander Brown, who is heavily interested
and Is now in Europe, has been cabled to
come home. 1t is the impression that Mr.
Brown is not antagonistic to the interests
that seek control.
