call for their designations and,
failing to Get them, he should
chop off the directors heads.
ACRES OF LABELS.
lie alluded to trip a director
is alleged to have made to Gin
cinnati, taking bids for labels
along in his pockets, and, while
in that city, making a contract
for the printing of about $50
acres of labels" enough to last
ten years probably. The Sena-
tor characterized the directors
as cheap $400 a year fellows,
managing a three and half
million dollar business. He said
he would give his salary for a
year as Senator to be Governor
three months in order to "clean
out the Internal machine"
Instead of voting out the dis
pensary and thereby losing the
revenue and having the country
overrun with blind tigers, Sen
ator Tillman advised the people
to send men to the Legislature
who will purify the system.
Don't destroy the law" he de-
clared, because a lot of fellows
in Columbia have debauched it. F"
If you have not sense enough
to make a good law you must
suffer like all fools for lack of
gray matter in your heads"
WANTS AN EXTRA SESSION.
Referring again to the State
board the Senator said that if
the Governor does not see prop
er to resa%ye its MEMBERS, since
they had proved their unfitness
to fill the position, he should
call an extra session of the Leg
lslature. Senator Tillman en-
phasized the loss that the schools
will sustain if the dispensary is
killed. "You country people,"
he said, ''for the first time in the
history of liquor selling and Ii
quor drinking, are now getting
some returns from the sales of
Whiskey. You have had your
school terms increased, which
will be reduced if you vote out
the dispensary."
Toward the close of the Sena-
tors speech he engaged in a
good natured colloquy with the
Hon. Mat Hough, of Chester
County, which began by the
latter asking Tillman if he did
not think drinking had increas-
ed in the last five years.
The Senator replied that such
was probably the case, but the
increase was due to the dispen-
sary authorities ignoring those
provisions of the law intended
to curtail sales, such as the re-
quest feature, etc.
Mr.. Hough said something
about seeing wine on the Sena-
tors table, which the latter did
not deny.
Senator Tillman's speech made
a good impression, evidently
strengthening the dispensary's
cause in this county. C.T.C.

HER PLACE IS NOW
MADE PERMANENT
BOARD or HEALTH APPOINTS
CITY BACTERl0L0GIST
Legislature viii Be Asked to Pass a
Bill Regulating Dumping Of Rub
bish on Unoeeupied Lots.
Garbage Contract

Action taken by the board OF health
last night assures DIR. t. L. Leonard,
the city bacteriologist, her position for
the ensuing two years at a monthly
salary of S125. Ever since she became
a member of the department the doc
tor has been in a state of uncertainty
on one account or another.
Her reappointment last night makes
her practically a fixture of the depart
ment and at the same time gives sta
bility to a branch of the work of the
health department to which Health
officer Powers attaches a great deal of
Importance.
Or. Manning inquired IL DIR. Powers
considered a bacteriologist necessary
to the successful administration of
affairs. II certainly do" replied Pow
ers. "In that case" replied DR.. Man
ming. 81 don't see what more we have
to do with it." Dr. Kurtz then moved
that DR.. Leonard be appointed, and
the motion was seconded by DR.. Man
ming.
The mayor shook his head. ct don't

has the faculty of getting a raise
every once in a while. I would like to
have some assurance that we won't
have to pay more than $125 per month
after a while"
The appointment was then made
with the understanding that the bac-
teriologist will not receive any in
H.. 1I,av
of the present board.
DIR. Kurtz called attention to the
practice of dumping rubbish upon un-
improved lots and asked if something
cannot be done to stop it. DIR. Powers
explained that it is very difficult to
take effective measures against nom
residents, and said state legislation is
needed upon the subject
The draft of a bill covering the
points that Powers thinks ought to be
in the law is in existence, and it is
probable this document will be sent to
the Los Angeles delegation at Sacra-
mento with request that the bill be
introduced in the legislature for pas
sage.
The report of DR.. Day, the city
chemist. showed that he has found
samples of buttermilk and vinegar in
the market that are unfit for food.
Some arrests of vendors of these adul-
terated foods are likely to result from
the investigation.
The garbage contract also came in
for it's share of attention. The exist
ing contract expires next August. The
clerk was ordered to have copy of the
contract at the next meeting of the
board so that the members can famil-
iarize themselves with its provisions.
Deductions amounting to $3.50 were
made on account of uncollected gar
bage.

one-act plays was the natural fore
runner of 1.-THE Darling of the Gods. I"
1t first appeared in the form of a story
in Lippincott's magazine. David Be
lasco then secured the dramatic rights
from John Luther Long, the author,
and the little tragedy of modern Japan
was soon the hit of New York. 1t is
like 1.-THE Darling" in that 1t has all
the exquisitely quaint atmosphere of
the land of flowers, but different in
that there is an American character
in leading part, and the motive Is
somewhat lighter, though tragic. my
Aunt's Advice" is a one-act comedi-
eta by Miss Bates and George Ar
liss, telling the story Of a tremendously
big storm in a very small domestic
teapot. The two will make an excel
lent contrast on the double bill this

PUBLISHERS OF TIMES
ARE FINED $500 EACH
Judge Wilbur Decides Published Arti=
Gle Tended to Influence Grand
Jury's Action


H. G. Otis and Harry Chandler, as
publishers of the Los Angeles Times,
were fined $500 each yesterday by
Judge Wilbur in the superior court for
contempt of court, in connection with
certain articles published in that pa
per in reference to the work of the late
grand jury.
Attorney Hunsaker in behalf of the
publishers notified the court that his
clients did not care to answer, but pre-
ferred to bring the case to an issue.
In passing sentence Judge Wilbur
said:
"In view of the evidence and the
charges that have been made, the re-
spondents will be adjudged guilty of
contempt, and 1 will impose sentence
at this time. Gentlemen, stand up"
'I am informed by your counsel"
said the court, land L am glad to know
it, that it is your intention to have this
matter reviewed by the supreme court.
The question as to when the liberty Of
the press overlaps and interferes with
the law is delicate one, and one that
has been considered in connection with
these charges. 1 had intended to say
something at this time relative to the
rights of the court and the press, but
in view of the fact that the matter is
to be reviewed it will not be necessary.
81 do wish to say, however, that ]
hope the judgment will not be taken as
indicating that absolute fearlessness on
the part of newspaper in dealing
with public matters is not proper. re-
gret that I have to impose this judg-
ment in this case; regret that there
has been a difference between the pow
ers and duties of the grand jury and
the rights and liberty of the press.
II wish also to say that in regard tc
the law governing the custody of the
public moneys, 1 agree with the re.
spondents that it ought to be changed
and 1 hope that as a result of this in.
vestlgation it will be changed. The
criticism on the respondents is thai
such articles published when the mat.
ter was under consideration by thr
grand jury had a tendency to influences
the jurors. 1 hope the enforcement oi
this law will result in the community
receiving the benefit of interest on It:
millions of dollars of public money"

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
"The Darling of the Gods"

"The Darling of the Gods" which is
here repeating the success that made
it famous in the east, comes from the
hands of two men who in collaboration
combine a knowledge of stage technic
and a picturesqueness of phrase which
is unexcelled in the country.
John Luther Long, a Philadelphia
lawyer, first attracted attention in 1895
by writing novelette, of Japanese life.
An actress who read it suggested that
it would make good play.
$50 it will" said Mr.. Long, and, with
knowledge of the dramatic art which
literary man may gain from sitting
in an orchestra chair, he wrote the
play. He read it to a circle of friends,
and observing an untranslatable ex-
preston on their faces out of the cor
ner of his eye, he tore up the manu-
script. Mr.. Long tried again, and the
result was so much better that he had
the courage to take it to New York
manager. The director of theatrical
destiny told him that it would not do.
1.-THE Japanese environment" said he,
lis suited only to light opera and musi-
cal comedy. A serious japanese play
is bound to be a failure"
What would you say to a play"
asked Mr.. Long, "in which all the
characters are Japanese?"
Impossible" was the reply.
When the story of Madame" Butter
fly" appeared David Belasco obtained
the dramatic rights. During the course
of its dramatization the two men dis
covered they were enough alike in their
ideas to work together in harmony,
and an agreement was made that they
should collaborate in the writing of a
play.
Thus the inception of 'The Darling
OF the Gods" dates from the second
night of Madame Butterfly" when Mr.
Belasco said to Mr. Long:
Brother Jonathan. we must follow
this up with long play of Japan"
How about having every character
Japanese-a tragedy" asked Mr. Long.
Good" said Mr.. Belasco.
At the beginning the idea of "The
Darling of the Gods" was abstract.
almost chaotic. Mr.. Long had by this
time acquired some knowledge of dra-
matte technique He learned more as
he labored with Belaseo. The building
OF the play was carried on i'm New
York. and the hours Of toll would have
been shock to the walking delegate OF
a playwrights' union. for when the
fever of composition possessed the au-
thors they worked twenty hours at a
tune. Their meals were sent 10 them.

LODGE PAYS TRIBUTE.
Senator Gives President Entire Credit
for Peace.

A dispatch from Salem, Mass, last night

night closed the Infantry day celebration.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, ex-Mayor Low
of New York, Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles
and Adjt Gen. William Stopford were pres
ent
Senator Lodge responded to the toast, ''rhe
President" He praised President Roose-
velts part in the recent peace conference.
He contrasted the attitude of the nations
toward the United States in 1905, when
American seamen were being impressed,
with the present year, when two nations
came here and settled their differences.
The United States, he said. was friendly
with all nations of the world-a sure tndi-
cation of the power of this country.
Speaking directly of the peace conference,
he said that never was greater deed ac-
complished than that of the President in
bringing about peace.
"One American newspaper said Senator
Lodge, says that the credit for the confer
ence and its successful outcome does not
belong to the President. That is not the
view of the civilized world It is not the
truth. l am familiar with all the details
and to the President belongs the credit of
the organization and of guiding the entire
