and that the key hole was stopped with
rags. Mrs, Kuhlc came to this city
from Beaumont where her husband is
proprietor of a saloon. Her home is in

ARRESTS LEADERS OF YEGeS
PstroIman Murphy, Disguised as
Crook, Secures Confidence Of
Thieves and Arrests Two

by the arrest of Pat Dolan and Pat
Kelly yesterday, Patrolman J. j.
Murphy believes that he has the lead
ers of gang OF the worst yeggs that
have infested Los Angeles this fall
After two days work in plain clothes
the officer succeeded I'm landing his
men yesterday on charges that Will
hold them until the officers have ample
time to investigate their careers.
For tho past two weeks Murphy has
had the men in view and has been
watching them closely. Friday he
became suspicious of their actions and
attiring himself I'm citizens clothes be-
gan to mix with the men. Saturday
Dolan and Kelly conhded to Murphy
that they were out for the yellow"
Dolan told the officer that he and
his partner narrowly missed a chance
to relieve n guest Of the Bankershim
hotel of S40O on the previous night.
They said that they had their victim
well soaked" and were going to his
room with him, but the clerk of the
hotel refused to let them occupy 81
room
Shortly before noon yesterday Muir
ply arrested Dolan on suspicion and
confined him to the city Jail. Before
leaving his beat last evening the Of
ficer was accosted by Harry Wilson,
an employe of Fred Flemmlng, owner
of fish wagon. at First and Los An

clothes and set out to find the man.
He located Kelly. and Wilson identi-
fled him as the man who had passed
the counterfeit bill for good certifi-
cate. Kelly was arrested and ac-
knowledge passing the bill.
The officer hopes to obtain evidence
OF more serious character against the
men. Murphy thinks that Kelly has
other victims of the bad bill graft"

gang OF hold-up men and burglars that
the police are seeking.

YOUTHS HELD ON
FORGERY CHARGE
POLICE SAY YOUNG MEN HAVE
BAD RECORDS
Detectives cowan and Smith Arrest
Trio Who viii Have to Face Aen
cusation Of Passing WORTH
less Checks

Otto NJ. Cole Joe Zerbes and r.
Lloyd, all of whom are said to be
criminals with bad records. were ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Detec-
tives Cowan and Smith. charged with
forgery on several counts.
The trio Is said to have operated in
this city for some time. One of the
men is supposed to have written the
Fictitious checks and the other two
passing them. Several checks sup
posed to have originated with these
men are now in the hands of the po-
lice.
Each Of the three men have local po-
lice records. but Zerbes Is said to be the
worst one Of the three. Some time ago
he was arrested on the same charge
now placed against him. The trial
came up in Judge Smiths court, but for
some reason the man was given his
freedom.
At another time Zerbes was convicted
on a charge of stealing 5000 watch
from Main street--Van Nuys hotel
At the trial his mother interceded for
him and promised that she would see
that he join the navy. The charge was
dismissed against him.
The mother departed with the young
man for San Francisco supposedly to
dSSlSL tne young ildn lulo tne navy.
But. no sooner had sne arrived In the
northern city. than her son escaped
from her and was not heard of until
when arrested Yesterday. Besides the
above events in his criminal career,
Zerbes is connected with scores of
petty larceny jobs perpetrated in this
city and Southern California.
r. Lloyd was also up before Judge
Smith some time ago on a petty
larceny charge. Owing to an appeal
from friends and the mans own prom
ises. Lloyd was released on probation.
Cole also is said to have a police
record but not of such fragrant hue as
that of either Zerbes or Lloyd.
When arrested yesterday the young
men were captured in the Arizona pool
rooms on Main street where they have
been in the habit OF foafing for the
past three months

SEES ROAD To
QUICK SUCCESS
BELASC0 FAv0RITE DREAMS
OF GLORY
Miss Virginia 5rissac, clever Little
lnuenue, Hopes to Find Road
to Fortune In "ViVian's
Papas"

Martin Beck, the general manager OF
the Orpheum circuit Of vaudeville
theaters, has taken his initial dip into
comic operatic management on his own
account. His first venture is THE
Pink Hussars," farrago of music and
nonsense which has successfully played
i'm Chicago for the past five or six
months and which promises to estab-
lish a new record for musical enter
tainments before it is forced to aban-
don its Chicago home.
A hit of tremendous size has just
been scored in Mr.. Beck's piece by
Blanche Ring who played in Chicago
in Leo Ditrichstein's new farce, "Viv-
ian's Papas," last summer. When Mr..
Beck saw Miss Rings Interpretation of
Vivian Rogers one of Gotham's merry
chorus girls, he quickly decided that
she was the very person for the chief
role in THE Pink Hussars," and hur-
riedly bought her release from Lew
Fields for five thousand dollars.
Miss RiIg, was at the time, under
contract to appear in Fields produc-
ton of at Happened in Nordland."
this winter, and while the Fields man
agement thought highly of the young
womans future artistic worth to them,
the idea of a check for five thousand
dollars was so overwhelmingly stag
gering that they hastily consented to
release her.

Will Try for Stardom

Another young actress who made her
first success in "ViVian's Papas" is
Hattie Williams. When Miss Williams
first played in the Ditrichstein comedy,
Charles F'rohman witnessed her per-
formance and Immediately made up
his mind that Miss Williams was des-
tined for greater achievements, and
put her in THE Rollicking Girl' as n
Co-star with the well known German
comedian, Sam Bernard.
Miss Williams is soon TO head her
own musical comedy piece, and share
the honors with no one. Both Miss Ring
and Miss Williams aver in the strong
est possible language that their good
fortunes are directly traceable to their
distinct hits in "Nivian's Papas."
Now, Virginia BrsSac, the ingenue of
the Belasco Theater Stock company. il
wondering if the same success that at
tended The efforts of Miss Ring and
Miss Williams are to come to her, for
she is to appear tonight for the first
time in the west in the chief role in
"Nivian's Papas.'
The play is Leo Ditrichsteins newest
and most succcssGui farce and offers
manifold chances to the dainty and
clever little actress at the Belasco to
score one of the biggest hits of her
career She is keeping the good for
tune Of her two predecessors in "Viv-
ian's Papas" in mind. and is determined
that she is going to try and discover
the route TO stardom, via "Nivian's
