COUNCIL GIVES w. C. T. U. S1o0
White Ribboners at First Think City
Legislators Are "Mean Old
Thinus"

Several members of the w. C. T. U.
who were present at yesterday morn
ing's meeting of the city council
thought that the members of that body
were just the meanest old things that
ever lived. They had asked the city to
allow the w. c. T. u. 500 from the
municipal treasury to help in enter
tanning the delegates to the national
convention.
The proposition had been referred to
the finance committee and this COM
mittee yesterday recommended that
the demand be filed for lack of funds
to meet it. When this recommendation
was made, women ON whose breasts
futtered the white ribbon, sedately left
the gallery where they had been sta
toned to see what action would be
taken on their request.
Half an hour afterward, when the
episode had been forgotten, one of the
councilmen moved q reconsideration of
the filing of the request and Council
man Smith, chairman of the finance
committee, said he believed that some
arrangement could be made and the
council passed a resolution allowing
the 500.

BUILDS STAGE FOR "BEN HUR"
klaw 6 Eranger's Manager Super
vises Extensive Alterations at
the Mason

For Klaw and Erlanger's production,
''Ben Hur," which comes to the Mason
for two weeks beginning November 20,
the stage of the theater must be almost
entirely rebuilt.
Edward G. Cooke, the advance man
ager arrived in Los Angeles yester-
day and Immediately took charge Of
the work.
He said What the Los Angeles
public is interested in is the manner
in which Ben Hur" is to be staged at
the Mason. / have carefully gone over
the entire stage from cellar to grid
iron with Manager Wyatt, and do not
hesitate to say that a staging will be
given the play equally as big as done
in New York, Chicago, Boston or San
Francisco and one that will fairly
astonish the public. The company nura-
bers more than 300 persons, while ten
carloads of scenery, twenty horses and
three camels complete the outfit. This
will give you an idea of the magnitude
of the attraction. Nothing like it has
ever been done in the history of the
stage world, and it is quite question
able if anything resembling it will be
produced for years to come,
"All railroads entering the city are
to make special rates for distance of
