Produce Pretty PIayIet

''Why Dorothy Went to College," a
one-act comedy, was presented at the
Orpheum yesterday afternoon by Evan
Baldwin and Edith Maisonave. Both
Mr.. Baldwin and Miss Maisonaive are
residents of Los Angeles, and Miss
Maisonave was for several months con-
nected with the county clerks Office at
the court house.
The action of the playlet takes place
in a room at college. The scenery used
was good and the stage effects were ad-
mirable. Several songs wer given both
by Mr. Baldwin and Miss Maisonave.
The latter has a pretty soprano of good
quality, although not great volume.
Mr.. Baldwin is a splendid baritone.
The act did not have a great deal of
action, but the incidents were congru-
Gus and were connected with bright
dialogue. Flags and other emblems Of
u. S. C. were used in the stage setting.
Mr.. Baldwin is graduate of that in
stitution.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA

Harry Mestayer is to have an oppor-
tunity to prove what he can do in a
series of problem plays to be put on at
the Belasco this summer, with Miss
Constance Crawley as leading woman.
Mr.. Mestayer has drawn crowded
houses whenever he appeared in an
Ibsen drama, but at a series of literary
matinees he will have chance to prove
his versatility in the Interpretation of
Maeterlinck, Hauptmann, Suderman,
Shaw and Gorky. The literary matt
nees are a new venture in America, al
though they have proved popular in
London and France. With company
of famous players, Mr.. Mestayer and
Miss Crawley should be able to give
performances that will be distinct artis-
tic achievements. The Belasco man
agement will put on the plays most
sumptuously, and. beginning July II,
the matinees will be social events as
we'll as dramatic events, for club
women leaders in the smart set and
students of the drama have united as
patronesses who will give enthusiastic
support to this novel season of literary
dramas seldom seen on the American
stage. Much curiosity is awakened by
the announcement of Miss Crawley's S
engagement for roles so unlike Every
man and the Shakespearean characters
with which her name is associated on
the coast. The fact that her last ap-
pearances in Lordon were in the most
modern of dramas gives assurance of
her success. AS Roma in "The Eternal
City" she made great hit in London,
and while she was Beerbohm Trees
leading woman she became known as
one of the most gifted exponents of the
psychological play.

at Edendale yesterday and forty acres
of the grain were burned before the fire
was finally eXtinguished by engine No.
6 and chemical No. 1.
The residents of the suburb were
greatly alarmed and turned out to a
person to fight the flames.
The grass was so dry that it was
quickly seen that the fire could not
be controlled without the aid of regu-
lar fire fighting apparatus. A call was
sent to the Los Angeles department
and the blaze was subdued.
Many houses were badly scorched by
the intense heat and it was feared for
a time that the settlement would be
destroyed.
People fought the flames with every
thing from broom to a coal shovel.
One woman endeavored to save her
house by pouring water on it with an
ordinary garden sprinkling can.

the boy submitted a number of his
sketches to him for criticism. Mr.. Mac
Leod encouraged the boy to go on with
his work and finally admitted him as
a student in his art school.
Young Villa rapidly developed as an
artist and in 1899 began to do work for
several of the engraving firms of this
city. In 1903 he went to San Francisco,
where he remained several months, ara
then returned home to resume his
studies in the Macleod Art school.
Two years later he graduated from the
school. but for some time previous to
this he had been serving in the capacity
of an instructor.
During his schol days Mr.. Villa
gained much favorable notice because
of his work for a number of the rail-
road. companies. The young mans
friends are confident that within the
next decade he will rank as one of the
leading mural decorative painters in
this country.

IGNORES LlBRARY'S DEMANDS
City Auditor Refuses to Permit Its
Account to Be
Overdrawn

The board of directors of the public
library were worried yesterday by re-
ceiving notice from City Auditor
Schwaebe that he would not honor
$1,000 worth of demands which the
library sent to him yesterday.
Should Mr.. Schwaebe allow these
bills the library account would be over
drawn nearly $3OOO In addition to the
demands for $1,000 the library is still
holding demands for $1,000 which it
wants cashed.
Today the new municipal year begins
and the departments that have been
running behind are glad of it, for the
finance committee will soon get to-
gether and arrange a new budget for
the various departments.
The money will not be available be-
fore fall, but with an appropriation
in it's favor each department can run
a little while on credit.

DENIES MAKING
ANY confession
F. P. WILSON BRANDS STORIES
AS FALSE
Arrives in Los Angeles Neatly Dressed
in Company With Chief Aube to
Face Embezzlement
Sharge

"I have very little to say regarding
my case, but 1 will get an attorney
and act as he advises me-" said Fred
York city and brought back to Los
Angeles yesterday by chief of Police
Auble.
Wilson is charged with embeZzling
81, 100 belongings to the Title Guarantee
and Trust company on November Is,
1905, while in the employ of the COM
pany. Wilson was considered quite a
high flyer" while in Los Angeles and
was very fond of the races it is said.
While in New York he is said to have
led a fast life and to have quickly spent
all his money.
Chief Auble left for the east two
weeks ago to bring back Wilson. He
was detained five days in New York
city waiting to get the governors sig
nature to the requisition papers. The
governor was in Washington, d. c.,
and the signature of the lieutenant
governor was finally secured
The chief arrived in Los Angeles with
his prisoner at O'clock on the Owl
yesterday morning. Wilson was i'm
mediately taken to the city jail.
Is Good Prisoner
Regarding his trip Chief Auble said
yesterday:
Wilson is an exemplary prisoner and
caused me no trouble whatever. In
fact, he seemed to be glad to get back
to Los Angeles.
He did not confess taking The
money" said the chief. He seemed
to be quite willing to discuss the af-
fair, but has not openly said that he
took the money. He has been cheerful
and l found him to be a very pleasant
travelling companion"
Wilson seemed to resent the stories
that were printed in New York city
papers and which were sent west from
there. Regarding them he said:
Il am not in anyway responsible for
those stories. They never interviewed
me. 1 neved told them that / was
guilty. What was printed was faxed
up. / do not care now to discuss the
case. l acknowledge that L have had a
good time since leaving here. | never
said that | couldn't live on less than
$40 a day."
viii Contest Case
From Wilson's attitude it is probable
that he will contest the case that is
being made against him. He refused TO
make any positive statement or to say
what grounds he had for defense If he
had any.
Wilson is a good looking man and
always dressed neatly. He was well
thought of in Los Angeles before his
disappearance. While on his flight
from arrest he did not become slovenly
In dress and appeared clean and neat
while behind the bars yesterday.
He had a good position with the
trust company and was earning good
salary. 1t was known that he had a
fondess for playing the races, but no
one suspected that he was exceeding
his income.
Wilson will probably be arraigned be-
fore Justice II. A. Pierce Monday.
The New York officers who arrested
the man will be given $500, which was
the reward offered for Wilson's appre-
hension.

REPUBLICANS WILL
MEET At VENICE
COUNTY CONVENTION CALLED
FOR AUGUST II
Big Auditorium rendered Free to
Committee for Gstherlng-Pri-
mary Caucus Dates Are
Settled Upon

Venice has been chosen as the place
for holding the Republican county con-
venton. The date decided upon Is
August 21. The auditorium at Venice
has been rendered free of charge for the
purpose, and after some discussion the
| executive committee of the county CEN
| trail committee, to which the matter
had been referred, decided yesterday to
accept the Offer
| Long Beach also rendered the use of
the auditorium at that place for the
| convention, but this proposition did not
come up for consideration. Some oppo-
| sition was expressed to holding the con-
vention outside of Los Angeles, on the
ground principally that 1t might be in
| convenient for good many of the dele
gates to attend, and that in conse-
quence there would be a large number
OF proxies, but 1t developed that Simp-
son auditorium was the only available
place In this city, and 1t was found
that it's seating capacity was entirely
| too small.
| There will be S37 delegates and as
the new auditorium will not be COM
pleted in time, the committee had no
choice but to go outside of Los Ange-
| les.
Change Meeting Date
In fixing the date for the convention
the committee made 1t one day later
than had originally been planned. 1t
had been intended to call the meeting
for August 20, but as that day falls on
Monday, and there always is a good
deal of preliminary work to be done the
day before, the suggestion that August
q be fixed as the date was adopted.
The primary and caucus dates in Los
Angeles and Pasadena are as follows
Saturday, August II, at p. m.-Pre-
cinct caucuses.
Monday, August 13-Assembly dis
trict convention to nominate delegates
| to the state convention.
Tuesday, August 14-Primary election
to elect delegates to the state and
county conventions.
Dates for precincts outside of Los
Angeles and Pasadena are as follows:

ventions.
