VAIN SEARCH FOR RELATIVES
Family of Dead Carpenter Has Not
Yet Been Found

Following out the last wish of a
dying man, employees of the Breese
Brothers undertaking establishment
are seeking the relatives of c. j.
Peters, carpenter, who died in Los
Angeles two days ago. but thus far
their efforts have been unsuccessful
Friday morning Peters was at work
on house at III Towne avenue. Sud
denly one of his companions saw him
pitch forward to the ground and when
they reached him he was found to be
dying of internal hemorrhage. Every
thing possible was done for him but he
expired a few minutes later.
The only words said by the dying
man were, Notify my relatives" The
undertakers Immediately started out to
follow this request and searched the
dead mans room at 1902 Central ave-
nue.. Nothing was found there to give
clew except several letters from
Washington.
1t is asserted that Peters had rela-
tives In Los Angeles but they have not
claimed the body.

ONMERCY ERRAND;
STABBED IN BACK
YOUTH LEAVES FRIENDS BIER,
ALMOST MURDERED
Louis Christophon Set Upon by Two
Thugs and Dangerously
Wounded-Assailant
Escapes

While returning home early Sunday
morning from night spent in watch
ing by the body of deceased friend,
Louis Christophon was attacked by
an unidentified Mexican on Buena Wis.,
ia street and stabbed.
Christophon is % years of age and
lives at 243 Yale street. Saturday
night in company with two friends he
volunteered his services as watcher at
the bier of an acquaintance. The three
young men left the house shortly after
daybreak and Cristophon in company
with friend started home. When the
two men had reached "a point about
three blocks north of the county Jail
they passed two Mexicans who were
intoxicated. One of the Mexicans
called the boys back and asked the ad-
dress of a woman whom they desired
to see.
The boys took them to the house,
but the woman drove the Mexicans
from the premises, saying that they
had formerly worked there but she
would not have them around while they
were drunk.
One of the Mexicans then became en-
ragged and struck at Cristophon but
missed him, while the other, who was
small man, drew sharp knife and
stabbed the young man in the back
Cristophon was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital where his wounds were
dressed. His companion then left with
detectives and one Of the Mexicans
was arrested and gave the name of
Valdez. He will be held on suspicion.
The man who did the stabbing has not
yet been apprehended and the trial of
Valdez will be held pending the arrest
of his associate.
Cristophon is in a weak condition
from loss of blood but his recovery is
expected.

AUDIENCE HEARS PSYCHIST
McIvor-Tyndall Gives Interesting
Demonstrations

Hundreds of people thronged Blanch-

DIR. Alexander j. McIvor-Tyndall's dis
course on the psychological subject
Goods Feet" Many were turned away
owing to the large audience and also
because the management of Blanchard
hall have decided that no one will be
Prof. Jean De Chauvenet, the cele-
brated pianist, rendered Paderewskis S
minuet, and was enthusiastically en-
cored. Some interesting demonstra-
tions of thought transference and
psychometry were presented by DR..
McIvor-T -Tyndall at the close of the lee
ture.
DR.. McIvor-Tyndall said in part: "It
is because of our limited viewpoint
that we take literally the admonition
lay your burdens at Gods feet Could
we get above the pressure of everyday
material existence and view life from
the general and impersonal rather than
the concrete and personal we would
realize the deeper meaning in the
words. To sit at Gods feet is to be
ready to learn life's lessons. 1t is to
have the mind receptive to knowledge
from every source. 1t is to be able to
learn wisdom from every experience
and every manifestation of life energy
1t is to look for the good in all things
and to keep our souls alive to the truth
wherever found. When we are able
to do this we find that those things
which had seemed so heavy a burden
fall from us as snowflake is dispelled
by the warmth of the sun. They were
but transitory and had no real place in
infinity."

WAR OF WEALTH
POOR PRODUCTION.
FIRST PRESENTATION NOT UP
TO. BURBANK STANDARD
Heroine Has Difficulty in Find
ing Fatal Trap and Then
Sinks Gently Out of
Sight

"War of Wealth." which began a
weeks run at the Burbank theater yes
terday, is low even in the scale of
melodrama and the opening matinee
was further marred by a generally
ragged and inartistic performance.
The dialogue and situations are forced
and lacking any semblance of con-
tinuity.
william Desmond continues to appeal
to a certain type of feminine admirers
to an extent that absolveS him in the
eyes of the box Office from his many
histrionic faults. He is the same
hero each week and it is only a small
variation of things that in this play he
saves the heroine by jumping gingerly
off of a cliff.
Miss Blanche Hall is more to be
pitied than blamed, for she does as
we'll as any one could in her wild and
"woozy" part. She is forced to spoil
her pleasing personality by burying it
in the artificialities and elocution ap-
parently necessary in melodramas.
She experienced considerable diff
Guilty yesterday in balancing herself on
the proper spot on top of the balcony
so that when the villain tore away the
underpinning she should be hurled
down the face OF the cliff. Finally
she was successful and after Shrek
ing "It is falling! 1t Is falling!" sank
gradually out of sight. So gently did
gravity work in her case that Des-
mond was able to leap over the cliff,
catch her before she struck the bot
tom and then grasp a rope which was
hurled after him by one of the other
characters.
Stanley Johns did good work as the
villain of the play in spite of severe
cold which robbed him of the best part
of his voice. John w. Burton appears
again as southern major" and re-
ceived large share of the applause.

REVERSAL OF FORM AT GRAND
Through the Breakers" Acceptably
Presented by Clever Company

If one of the judges at the Ascot
races were to drift into the Grand
theater this week and venture to COM
pare Through the Breakers" which
began it's week in Los Angeles yester-
day with the show which held the
boards last week, he would give as his
opinion a decided reversal of form"
and the management of the house
might be ruled off for life. Through
the Breakers" is one of the best things
of it's kind that has visited the Main
street home of meodrama for many a
day and the large audience which filled
the place yesterday was duly appre-
ciative.
The piece contains the plot usual to
melodramatic productions. First there
is the villain, intent on destroying the
peace and happiness Of the hero, who is
incidentally the high man" with the
wronged one. After nearly killing the
hero in the first act the villain lays his
snares to entrap the heroine, when the
heros dear friend comes to the front
and effects seemingly impossible
rescue.
This is not where the villain dies,
however, for he is a regular cat with
nine lives and cannot be put down
with anything less than an ak. He
manages to get the heroine into his
power again and into the cave where
his band of smugglers lies i'm wait when
one of his own band turns on him
and allows the captive maiden and a
parson who is In the same predicament
to escape.
The second act of Through the
Breakers" is one of the most thrilling
ever staged at the Grand. In it the
hero is found sick In bed with the
villain, I'm the guise of friend, stand
ing guard over him. The tried and
trusty friend comes in just after the
villain has gagged the hero so that he
cannot speak Luckily the hero, to-
gether with his friend are telegraph
operators and just when the villain
thinks all is serene and he can go to
bed in peace the hero manages to get
an arm free and tell of his plight.
Then there is the usual fight between
the friend and the villain and just
when the latter is about to dash a
lighted lamp over the form OF his OPP
ponent the hero manages to "come TO-"
