NO MESSAGE FROM STEEN
Officers Have Been Unable to Conn
municate News of Wife's Death

At the inquest yesterday morning
over the body of Mrs. o. b. Steen, who
died at the Catalina hotel Friday, the
coroners jury found that death re-
suited from an overdose of morphine.
DR.. Bayless was the only witness eX-
amined and he said that when he was
called he found the woman lying on
the bed unconscious and breathing
heavily, with all the indications of
poisoning. The usual anti
dotes failed and she died without re-
gaining consciousness.
Mrs. Steen left IA message saying that
she was tired of life and wanted to die.
She always seemed to be cheerful, but
it was known that she was worrying
over financial affairs. She seemed to
have enough for her personal needs,
however
Efforts to locate her husband have
so far failed, though many telegrams
have been sent. The body will be kept
until he is located and his instructions
received. kilograms to her relatives
in the east have been unanswered.

LEAKY ROOFS ON
EN- CINE HOUSES
HOLES APPEAR AFTER SIX
MONTHS USE
Report of City Auditor, Which Was
Intended as Sensation, Shows
Good Work Done by the
Former Chief

The fact that the roofs of some Of
the new fire houses are in a leaky con-
dition, although they have been con-
structed but six months, developed yes
ter day at the meeting of the fire COM
mission. The notice to the commission
came in the form of an application
from Captain Martin Bruhat to have
the roof of the new engine house at
Pico and Berendo streets repaired. The
building committee of the commission
will make an investigation.
A letter which had been sent to Chief
Lips by City Auditor Schwaebe Gre
ated some surprise when read by the
clerk. This communication stated that
the fire department has been exceeding
its appropriation at the rate of $493 per
month.
Examination of the letter from the
auditor, however, shows that the con-
dition is not nearly so sensational as
a first glance would indicate. The two
new second size engines recently pur-
chased by the city at a cost of over
$4,000 were charged to the fund. A fire
engine site on North Main street was
recently purchased at cost of $1,000.
Five sets of harness were bought a
short time ago at an expense of about
$780,
With all these items accounted for
the statement of the auditor shows
that the department has used only
66 % per cent of its appropriation.
The payroll of the department amounts
to about $4,000 per month and the es-
timated expense allowed under this
years appropriation is S17O55. This
leaves about $4,000 per month to be
used in the purchase of supplies. The
total appropriation was $216,4S5.97.
The firemen have applied to the com
mission for permission to procure
seeds and flower plants from the park
department with which to beautify the
grounds about the fire houses. The
commission gladly assented to the re.
quest, and the mayor stated that on
behalf of the park department he could
give the assurance that the hremen
would be supplied with all the seeds
and plants they want.
Chief Lips recommended that all the
lower floors in the houses and the stalls
for horses be made of wood He said
the wood floors were well adapted to
the purposes and there was less noise
than where cement floors are used.
All the houses are to be repaired in a
thorough manner

Thompson Seton Lecture

Lovers of nature and especially of
wild animal life will he delighted to
know that Ernest Thompson Seton is
to appear at Simpson auditorium on the
afternoon and evening of Saturday,
March H. To the vast number of read
ers of Mr.. Setons books and magazine
articles and 10 the school children who
dearly love bear stories no introduction
Is needed.
Mr.. Seton is known to many persons
only as brilliant writer of animal
stories, but he Is a man of many ac-
complishments AS am artist he stands
without peer I'm depicting with pen
and brush the wild animal. Many OF
his paintings have been awarded first
prizes in the great art exhibits Of the
world.
All of Mr.. Seton's writings and draw
ings descriptive of the personality of
wild animals are enhanced many fold
by his inimitable description of them
given from his own lips 1t is seldom
that an author-artist is gifted with the
ability to entertain upon the lecture
platform. bat Mr.. Seton is as clever
with his voice as with his pen and

The Bispham Concert

David Bispham's song recital yes-
terday afternoon attracted to Simpson
auditorium a good sized audience.
which gave the famous baritone singer
an enthusiastic reception long to be re-
membered in a city little given to
demonstrative approval of music.
The program, in four parts, was a
long one and ii was well fitted to
show the versatility of the artist now
in the splendid maturity of his power
as an interpreter of music. His re-
markable voice, used with "a prodigal
generosity in the busy years of his
public career, has lost in volume and
range. There is lacking something of
the fullness and roundness of tone
that once made ii the most extraordi-
nary of American baritones, but it is
still beautiful in its middle register
Mr.. Bispham Is master of a perfect
art that enables him to do wonders;
but he has something more than art
which can be acquired; he has mar
velous dramatic force and intellectual
BREADTH gifts of the gods. His is a
dominating, magnetic personality that
instantly wins control of an audience.
Four classical songs formed part one
of the program. Beginning with
Bach's Commit Thy Ways" Mr..
Bispham played upon a wide gamut
of emotion. The passion music was
sung with such finished art and such
reverential feeling that there was no
chance for criticism. In the recitative
and song, 80 Ruddier Than the
Cherry" (HandeD, the lower range of
the voice was not quite adequate but
the Interpretation was delightful. The
Elking" was one of the memorable
berch's Curse" a piece of Wagnerian
Interpretation that could hardly be sur
passed. THE Evening star" aria
from "Tannhauser," was also given
with fine effect. THE Prologue" from
"Pagliacci," heard recently by the
Savage Opera company, revealed the
possibilities of the clowns song.
-Four Songs of the Hill" by Lam
den Roland. were exquisite bits of SEN
timent. Among the English and Amer
lean songs, Mr., Bispham selected Max
Heinrichs "Who Knows?" familiar to
Los Angeles audiences and to this he
gave an Interpretation quite different
from the composers.
The recital closed with Kipling's
Danny Deever," to which Walter
Damrosch has given the stirring music
1t was "a song never to be forgotten
a song full of action and description
a perfect tone picture. 1t held the
audience, even after the singer had
several times returned to bow his fare

GIVES OPENING RECEPTION
Hundreds Visit the Establishment Of
Lyon=Mckinney-Smith Company
on South Broadway

Hundreds of friends, old and new,
attended the formal opening reception
given yesterday afternoon and last
night at the new fashionable furniture
house of the Lyon -McKinney-S Smith
company at 652 South Broadway. The
decorations included festoons of smilax
and carnations galore, while near the
front of the store stood huge floral
horseshoe presented with the compli-
ments of Hulse, Bradford & Co., whole
sale furniture dealers. There was
music on every floor.

plete furniture establishments in the
city. The new brick block has a
frontage of 81 feet and is $50 feet in
depth. Five floors including the deep
basement affords 10000 square feet of
space, and there is ample room for the

makes a speciality of the highest class
goods in their line, but they carry all
grades to accommodate the general
public. Two years ago the firm began
business at 212 West Sixth street, but
their business grew so rapidly that
they were compelled to move where
they could more than double their ca
pacity S. S. Mckinney and j. o.
Smith were statesmen with Niles Pease =
and William p, McMullin, now with
the new firm, was manager OF the
drapery department at the Pease store
for four years.

TO UTILIZE RICH
SANDS OF DESERT
Company Organized to Convert New
Mexico's Wonderful Deposit Into
Valuable Building Material

What is perhaps one of the most re-
markable discoveries from a CONNER
cial standpoint that has been made in
the southwest for many years is the
successful utilization of the famous
white sands of New Mexico j. F..
Miner, mining man who recently
came to Los Angeles has devised a
scheme to convert the sand" which
is nothing more or less than a great
deposit of gypsum, Into the most use

terials.
Mr.. Milner is the manager of what Is
known as the White Sands company
which proposes to build an immense
plant near the snow like appearing des-
ert and turn what has heretofore been
regarded as a waste into money. He
has opened an office at 43S Hellman
building and will make this permanent
headquarters of the White Sands COM
pany
This immense body of white sand
has been a marvel to scientists for
many years. It's formation for miles is
perfect 1t is situated in Otero county,
about ten miles from the town of AL
magordo, and has attracted the atten-
tion of geologists from all parts of the
world.
According to Mr.. Miner the sands"
have been made the hiding place for
many CHASTITY crimes. In former days
the Indians used the white stretch Of
desert waste in which to secret them
selves from the whites, as well as COW
er up the many murders that they were
guilty of from time to time. Mr.. Mil
ner is familiar with numerous crimes
that have been committed in that coun-
try, having been connected with the
government surveyors there for several
years.
BY Mr.. Miners new process some of
the most useful and valuable building
materials on the market may be made
at a greatly reduced price. AS evidence

Advice from Washington, in regard to the passage of the Hamilton Joint Statehood bill, are quite mixed. The Beveridge clique effects to believe that the bill will pass as reported to the senate, while Bard and his fol, lowers are of the opinion that the amendments desired by the people will be made. If so, Con- gress had just as well pigeon hole the bill for after the Arlzoni- ans get through voting it wont be worth the paper it is printed on.

The senate has confirmed the appointment of Governor Brodie to be assistant chief of the record dept. in the pension bureau, with the rank of Major in the regular army. This leaves the office of governor vacant, among those prominently men, toned for this position are Col James A. MCClintock, Hon. B.. A. Fowler and Secy. Nichols. 1t is hard to guess who will be sue cessful in securing the plum, but it is very probable that one of the above mentioned gentlemen will.
 The citizens of Arizona, with out regard to political creed, while rejoicing with the Cover nor in his good fortune, regret to see him leave us. No more honest and conscientious man ever sat in the Governors chair in this territory, nor did more for the territory's welfare. May the promotion his ability merits come rapidly in his new position.
