SAY ENTERTAINMENT WILL
BE THE BEST EVER
PRESS CLUB PLANS LONG LIST
OF ATTRACTIONS
Offerings from Grand Opera Company
and the Best Theaters In Los An
geles viii Go Far to Make the
Affair Success

Those who are In a position to know
say:
That the Los Angeles Press club en-
tertainment in the Burbank theater
Monday afternoon, Nov. rs, is going to
be corker, and
That the mere fact that the Lambardi
Opera company will be represented on
the menu card is enough to guarantee
a full house, and
That the best offerings of the Or
pheum for the week will be there, too,
and will attract probably as many
amusement seekers as the singers, and
That Phoxy Philadelphia Pugilist
Jack O'Brien will spar little and talk
a lot, after the manner of his kind, and
That Victor Schwertzinger, just re-
turned from a successful tour with FL
len Beach Yaw, will play the violin,
and the way he does it is a caution, and
That his ten-year-old sister, harp
soloist, will furnish beautiful music, and
That the Los Angeles Press club
quartet will be worth seeing as well as
worth hearing, and
That Bobby Brooks chalk talk" will
make the city campaigners laugh at
themselves, and
That Marquis Ellis will sing Little
Pappoose," that catchy ballad which
Ollie Morosco and Joe Montrose dashed
off in an idle moment, and
That several other attractive features
will be announced, and
That the souvenir book will be worth
several times the price of admission,
and
That this ought to satisfy everyone.

To REMOVE WESTERN BRIDGE
Country Club Association Lays Drains,
Thereby Making Structure
UseIeea

The city engineers office has COM
pleted its work I'm connection with the
Western avenue bridge.
AS the natural watercourse has been
filled in west Of Western avenue, where
It crosss the lands of the Country Club
association, the bridge ~ deemed of no
further use to the locality and can be
removed without detriment to public
interest. The lumber may be of some
service to the street department.
In lieu of the natural channel the
Country Club Park association has
constructed box drain of about %
square feet, sectional area, laid from
Western avenue along San Marine
street several hundred feet westerly.
storm drain on the same water
course now being constructed across
Vermont avenue a mile above has
sectional area of 1913 square feet. The
box drain. except at the Western ave-
nue. crossing, is OF fiimsy construction,
the city engineer says, and will in time
have to be replaced.

NEW CLUBHOUSE
IS DEDICATED
ALLEGORIcAL CEREMONY is
PERFORMED
Social Organization Composed Of Act
i've Musicians Opens New Home
with First Formal Function
In It's History

The Gamut club formally dedicated
its new clubhouse, once the Dobin-
son auditorium, last night, and at the
same time eliminated all symptoms of
envy, hatred, malice and all unchar-
itableness from its ranks by burning
them with fire. The ceremonies took
place in the auditorium and were
unique and impressive.
Harry G. Lott opened the program
by singing the prologue from "Pag-
liacci." Immediately after this the
strtdent notes of the Pilgrims chorus
from "Tannhauser" were heard In the
entry hall, blown on the trumpets. A
male chorus took up the words and
the active membership of the club,
all in evening clothes, marched into
the room and down the aisles to the
stage singing.
Then one by one members read sem
timents condemnatory of the vices
which interfere with good fellowship
and these slips, together with the Of
ficial hammer, were laid on the Goals
which the president ignited with a
torch. And the flames consumed them
amid great applause.
President Wilhartitz spoke a brief
welcome and Charles Edison told Of
the hopes of the club for the further
ance of music, art and letters, for
which it was to be a home.
f. r. Leischner played "Senetta
Petrarca" by Liszt and then Domenico
Russo sang effectively the Celeste
Aida" aria from "Aida," after which
Arnold Krauss played violin solo.
This concluded the formal program
and all adjourned to the other hall,
where light refreshments were served
and dancing was enjoyed.
The Gamut club is compoSed wholly
of active musicians who have banded
themselves together for mutual fell
lowship. 1t existed as a dinner club
for some time, but only recently 1t
was decided to branch out and assume
the functions of a regular club. This
affair was the first formal meeting
in the new building.

ARRESTED ON TWO CHARGES
Friend Complains Tha: Sight Draft
Was Worthless, and Watches and
Money Were Stolen

c. c. Churchill, who claims to be a
resident of Durham, Mass, was ar
rested yesterday by Detectives Zeigler
and Hosick on charges of obtaining
money under false pretenses and
burglary.
Both charges were preferred against
Churchill by Francis B. McCabe, 9S3
East Thirty-third street, the victim.
Soon after Churchill arrived in Los
Angeles a few weeks ago he became
acquainted with McCabe, and induced
him to cash a sight draft on his father
for 800. The draft was returned soon
after with notice that it was worthless.
The burglary charge against Churchill
Is brought against him on the grounds
| that he was seen in McCabe's room a
few nights ago, at which time he is
said to have taken two gold watches, a
silver watch and a small amount of
money.

INVENTOR ARRESTED
FOR PETTY LARCENY

street, was arrested last night by Pa
trolman Bonnar on the charge of petty
larceny. Galiano was found selling a
new rubber blanket and some new
clothing to the proprietor of a second
hand store at 319 East First street.

tablished he will be held at the police

liano it is believed that he is an in
ventor. but no exact data was found
in regard to his standing.

LITTLE BOY BURNS A BARN
Destroys Nearly Forty Tons OF Hay
Just to See the Pretty

To have lost between thirty and
forty tons of hay and barn through
mischief and to have no redress by
law is the misfortune of p, A. Amick,
who owns a small ranch on Fifty fourth
street west of Vermont avenue.
Last Thursday a barn containing a
large quantity of hay on Mr.. Amick's
ranch burned down. Yesterday Charlie
Webber. the S-year-old boy of neigh
bor, confessed that he had set fire to
the barn and hay lust TO see the
fire"
The law provides no penalty for so
young a child, and as Mr., Amick car
red no insurance on his property he is
entirely without redress.

Tea on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in report recently
made by large tea exporting house
IN Yokohama to its American Gus.
toners. Incidentally 1t indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re.
port says: owing to the rapidly in
creasing cost OF living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence cul-
tiyation Of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly.
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that OF sea-
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence Of former years. New

SLEEPING MEN BEST THINKERS
Also Act with Wonderful Quiekness
Declares French Professor.

Baltimore, Md.-Prof. Pierre Jouet,
Of the Paris Sorbonne, IN lecture on
somnambulism at Johns Hopkins uni
versity, said that while somnambulists
can see things aud speak huently they
cannot remember what occurred dur
ing the delirium. He SAID:
THE somnambulist has not our dull
memory Of things. He sees the OBJ.
jects he speaks Of and really hears
feels and touches the, exactly as II
they were real.
When a patient speaks he has flu
ency of language and even an elo.
quence that are superior to his nor
NAL powers. When he acts he has a
precision and quickness that are won,
derful.
THE man who ran to the housetop
showed more agility than he would
have had in his normal state, even II
he had not been paralyzed,
In connection with this precision
and certainty of memory we find
some strange mental blanks. You
speak Of patients and they do not an
swer. You try to make your presence
felt, they do not perceive. To make
yourself heard you must dream with
the patient. and speak to him only in
accordance with his delirium."

UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS SAID.
In no Other Way Can Actions Of Cat
Be Explained.

As striking a cat story as l have
heard in long time comes from Al
ton, N. NJ, and is vouched for abso-
lutely. says writer in the Boston
Record. The cat was accustomed to
visit the next door neighbor after each
meal to be fed and petted, bringing
also two kittens.
One Of the women at the house thus
visited, who had entertained a dislike
for cats, finally, on observing the ami
NAL, expressed aloud liking for the
gray kitten and said she intended to
ask to be allowed to keep 1t.
The next day when Mother Cat
came for her bits only one kitten ac-
companied her. but she took away
some choice morsels for the one left
at home. This continued several days,
when the woman who had first ex.
pressed intention to get the kitten
which the cat was feeding, remarked
that she had given up wholly the idea
of securing the gray kitten. All three
felines appeared at the next meal and
have done so since.
