Secretary Pro Tenn

The st. Vincent's Dramatic club
more than fulfilled the expectation of
its friends last evening in the presenta-
tion Of the comedy, Secretary Pro
Tenn" The comedy was in three acts
and was full of mirth from start 10
finish. The young people who took
Fart all possessed much talent, which
had been admirably trained by Rev. f,
X. McCabe, C. NJ, director of the club
The comedy dealt with a spinster
her secretary pro TEN and several love
affairs which proved very amusing in
their process of elimination.
The club is rapidly taking its place
as the leading amateur dramatic club
of Los Angeles and deserves much
praise.
The following were in the cast.
James Hanley, Edmund Booth. John
Pendleton. Gabriel Durnerin, August
Guercio. Misses Catherine Creed. Mar
guerite Banks, Grace Du sasse and

STRONG MAN HURT BY
LIFTING EXTRA WEIGHT
Military Hercules Does Not Appear
at the Orpheum as
Scheduled

For several years Paul Conchas, billed
at the Orpheum as THE Military Her
cules," has been lifting and juggling
with heavy and awkward weights, but
this week he is unable to appear as
promised because he lifted just little
bit too much at San Francisco last
week
Conchas' speciality is juggling with
cannons, Krupp shells and similar airy
nothings, and last week in San Fran
cisco he decided to add a few more
pounds to his heaviest piece of work, in
which he balances on his chin a heavy
cannon, including the gun carriage.
The result of this extra work was a
strained back. He managed to get
through his week in the northern city
but when he arrived in Los Angeles last
Sunday he realized that he would be
unable to go on on Monday night. DR..
Hitchcock was called in and ordered the
strong man to rest for a few days, and
yesterday DIR. Newmark was called in
consultation and Conchas was ordered
to remain in bed until the end of the
week.

there is now a branch office here in

years younger before collecting a

MAY NOT BUILD
NEW VIADUCT
RAILWAY WON'T SHARE PART
OF EXPENSE
TEMPORARY BRIDGE IN USE
City Engineer Practically Abandons
Plans for Permanent Structure
over the River at Sew
enth Street

Until the twenty-one year limit on
street railway franchises is removed
residents of Boyle Heights might just
as well abandon any fond hopes they
may have entertained Of having an cleo
trio line across the new Seventh street
bridge.
The railway company has served no.
tice that it will not share the expense
of building a permanent bridge across
the Los Angeles river at Seventh street,
and it is now regarded as very probable
that City Engineer Stafford will rec
ommend that the temporary bridge,
which was opened to the public yester-
day, be accepted for the present. He
has discontinued work on plans for the
proposed new bridge recommended by
the council, which 1t was supposed
would be built Jointly by the Los An
geles Railway company and the city.
If motion is made in the council to
discontinue work on the plans for the
permanent bridge there will likely be
trouble, as Councilman Kern of the
Seventh ward says his constituents will
not brook such action.
1--WE must have a permanent bridge
whether the railway company will
share a part of the expense or not"
said Mr.. Kern yesterday. I'VE ought
to go ahead with the project and If the
railway desires later on to run track
across the viaduct it can be made to
pay literally for the privilege. BY all
means we of the Seventh ward want a
permanent bridge constructed"
MIR. BIanchard's Views
Councilman Blanchard, who is a
member of the bridge committee, ex-
pressed surprise when informed of the
report of the intended action of the
city engineer.
This is the first 1 have heard of a
proposition to discontinue work on the
plans for the permanent bridge" he
said
II was under the impression that the
railway intended to help defray the ex-
pense of building a permanent struc-
ture, butof course if it does not care
to go into the project, then l suppose
the only thing to do is for US to make
out as best we can with the temporary
bridge. 1 would favor the construc-
tion of a permanent structure if the
funds are available, but 1 would not
approve of incurring this indebtedness
unless the city can do so without ma
terially injuring it's finances"
