HER SINGERS ARE SINGED
Rooming House Fire Adjoining Jail
Quickly Quenched, With Loss
of Four Canaries

Though the Los Angeles fire depart
ment would not save for Mrs. S. L.
Heck her four pet canaries, the energy
of the firemen probably saved the in
mates of the city Jail a severe scare
in an incipient fire Monday morning
near the bastie.
Mrs. Mary Wallaces rooming house
at First and Hill streets caught fire
from a leaky gasoline stove in the room
occupied by Mrs. Heck, who sustained
singed fingers in trying to rescue her
singers. The birds were suffocated.
Roomers did the best they could by
forming a bucket brigade, led by the
cool-headed Mrs. Wallace, but so
prompt was the arrival of the trained
fighters and so efficient their efforts
that a really threatening blaze was
reduced to a smoking pile of debris
and water soaked furniture.
Mrs. Wallace's hostelry adioins the
Jail on the west. and the twenty guests
under her roof, most of whom were
tourists, informally rendered congrat-
ulations to the fire department, while
the Jail inmates sent telepathic thanks

CaIve Coming

The world renowned Calve-most
golden voiced of singers, most dramatic
of actresses, most fascinating OF Wo-
men-will be heard in concert at Simp-
son auditorium on Monday, January 20,
The reserved seat sale opens this morn
ing at Birkels music store. This Is an
opportunity such as music lovers have
NOT had heretofore, for this Is Calve' s
first concert tour. In no other season
has Calves singing won so many en-
thusiastic encomiums as on her present
tour. Her magnificent voice, with its
rare blending OF mellowness, luscious
ness and brilliance was never more
beautiful, nor was her mastery of vocal
art ever more complete. Those who
love music for the mere beauty of it,
without thought of science or art it
embodies, are transported to great en-
thusiasm by the French soprano. Those
who know music technically, particu-
larly authorities or students Of the
subjects of tone production and voice
placing, find Calves singing a reve-
lation of correctness. The stanzaS
from Gounod's "Sapho," the bird song
from "Fellcien," David's LA Perle du
Bresil' and the Habanera from Bizet' s
Carmen" will probably be selections.
Calye will be assisted by a splendid
company, Derrick Won Norden, tenor;
Mona Bouxmann, basso; Camille De-
creus. pianist; Louis Fleury, flutist,
and Jeanette Vermorel, vloliniste, are
all artists of high rank.

Nielsen in Opera

This evening at the Mason opera
house Miss Alice Nielsen and her COM
pany of European artists will present
Donizettis delightful comedy opera

on Friday evening and Saturday natl
nee. From light opera prima donna
of four years ago when she sang III
1.-THE Singing Girl' and "The Fortune
Teller" Alice Nielsen has developed
into a grand opera artist of first rank.
Tonight the same merry, mischlevious,
bewitching Alice Nielsen will greet
audiences as in the days Of the Bos-
tonians' production of "The Serenade.
The part of Norma in Don Pasquale'
contains every element of the char
acters that won Miss Nielsen such pop
ularity during her last starring tour.
"Don Pasquale" is essentially Italian
light opera, full of melody and merrl-
ment and the company selected to sup
port Miss Nielsen is one of the pest
it is possible to engage in Europe At
the Mason every box will doubtless be
occupied and 1t will be one of the social
events in Los Angeles.

STATE CARE OF CHILDREN

No charitable function of a state is of
greater moment to its present or its
future than the care of it's homeless,
deficient or dependent children. These
are its future citizens; good or bad, as
the case may be. Other and more for
tunate Juveniles have the supreme ad-
vantage of home life and parental care;
these have neither. To them, the state
must act in loco PARENTS, and must
fill every need that the child's parents
ordinarily would cover.
In many states are many methods for
handling this tremendous problem.
Most of them leave it to the cities
or the counties, for individual hand
ling. In California, on the contrary, the
state itself assumes parental care of
its dependent and deficient juveniles,
and on it rests the responsibility for
their well being.
At the coming conference on charities
and corrections in Los Angeles, a ses-
sion will be given up to the discussion
Of the states care of the child
Juvenile reformatorles will be consid-
cred; this is particularly pertinent in
view of the recent inquiry at Whittier
Secretary A. j. Pillsbury, who has made
an extensive study of the handling of
dependent children, will discuss the
placing of them in homes-the ideal
working out Of the whole problem, as
well as the question of the states re-
lation to these helpless wards And the
child labor law, itself a state measure
Of protection, will be looked into, while
the experiment Of probation laws-and
they are yet an experiment-will be
debated. Even the causes of child
delinquency may be investigated so
that the whole scope of chlld-care will
be handled.
And this is eminently proper. As
stated, these children are the states fu-
ture citizens, and it is right and fitting,
in bravely assuming responsibility for
them, that the state should seek out
the best ways Of caring for them and
follow the highest light of experience
Well trained children insure high
class men and women, as a rule. and
the state should make its care of its
wards 80 thorough and so ideal that
even in the home, much may be learned
from it.

CREMAT0RY WILL BE BUILT
NEAR R0SEDALE
Time Limit Under Which Initiative
May Be invoked Against Enter.
prise Has Expired-Armed
Neutrality Preserved

Luther Brown will be allowed to
build his crematory on Sixteenth
street, Immediately adjoining Rose
dale cemetery, without fear of the in
itiative clause of the charter being
invoked to prevent him. The time
limit under which the initiative may
be invoked has expired and the Pico
Heights protestants have decided to
preserve an armed neutrality.
The fight against the crematory will
be long remembered by the residents
of Pico Heights. The feud began last
October when residents in the imme-
date vicinity of Rosedale cemetery
arose in wrath against the proposal of
the Los Angeles Crematory associa-
ton, of which Luther Brown is secre-
tary and chief stakeholder, to build an
institution for the cremation of bodies.
Mr.. Brown secured q permit for the
building and began its erection, after
which the Pico Heights residents took
their case to the council.
They appeared before the council on
three different occasions, always in
increasing numbers, and President of
the Council Summerland. who repre-
sentS the ward in which the crematory
is being built, made the fight of his
political career against it, but the
council needed not and Mr.. Brown con-
tinued the erection of his crematory.
Finding the council would grant no
relief, the protestants began an active
canvass to secure signatures for the
purpose of forcing the council to call
special election that the question
might be submitted to the people.
This petition, bearing the names of
thousands of voters, was filed with
the city clerk ten days ago. but the
number necessary to call a special cleo

the protestants had ten days to file an
amended petition. but those ten days
have elapsed and the amendment has
not been filed,

MUSIC AND
TIE DRAMA
Leonora jackson Concert

The concert given by Miss Leonora
jackson at Simpson auditorium last
night was attended by a fair sized
audience. Miss Jackson was a success
in every number and her hearers were
not content with one encore but de-
nanded two. Her appearance is pleas
ing, her tone sympathetic and graceful,
while her general Interpretation pos
sesses that life and buoyancy which
all tends to make her numbers mag
netic Her best number was the
"Berceuse" by GODDARD, In which she
showed much versatility in tone color,
while her emotion was adequate to the
sentiment.
The soprano of the company was Miss
Slbyl Sammis, who sang Carmenia with
much luster and finish. Her execution
Is fluent, facile and clear. Miss Sam
mis- not only possesses musical gifts
but is endowed with attractive features
and a disposition that makes everybody
feel at home.
The pianist was David Williams, who
has Joined the company the last two
weeks only. He played the well known
"Prelude" by Rachmaninoff in very
credible manner and played PadereW-
skis "Minuet' for encore.
Charles e. Clarke. the Canadian bari
tone, impressed all favorably with his
rich. sweet and clear voice. He sings
all his songs in we'll balanced style
that bespeaks of good training. The
best vocal number was Hildach's Nov,
Thou Art Mine Forever" In which Miss
Sammis and Mr.. Clarke took part. The
phrasing was Well directed and the
general effect spirited, so that the
audience responded to the sentiment
so Cleverly presented.

BIG CITY SEAL SMASHES GLASS
AND VANQUISHES MINUTE CLER1

The entire trouble was directly traced
TO the mayor, who has been holding
up proposed street improvements in
his office and thereby keeping the
handsome minute clerk out of practice
in handling the big city seal.
When the city machinery is working
smoothly Wilde can wiggle the handle
Of the big seal faster than a sausage
maker, but lately he has had but little
practice. A few papers need the big
seal, however, and yesterday morn
ing the minute clerk had to use It. lie
threw the heavy handle back to open
the seal and crash went one of the
ground glass windows in the eastern
side Of the partition
Ordinarily Wilde is anything but
what his name would imply but the
things he said at this juncture-draw
the veil of charity.
"I'll put it where It won't do any
further damage" said the minute
clerk when he had cooled down suf-
ficiently. and he accordingly placed It
on the counter facing the entrance to
the office.
In a few minutes he again had
occasion to use the seal and again
threw back the big handle to open the
seal. Smash, and the biggest ground
glass in the entire partition fell to
the floor broken to bits.
I'm through, some one else can
use the seal" said Wilde, this time
in a plaintive voice that showed the
big seal had thoroughly cowed him.

DEFEAT
Watchdog Of the Municipal Treasury
GIowers at Avalanche Of Deeen-

chorus OF city hall employees as Council
man Smith, chairman of the finance

wrought in the office Of the city clerk
yesterday.
Charley Wilde did It, Eat him up,
urged the bloodthrsty crowd.
The occasion of the demonstration
against the popular minute clerk of
the council was large vacancies in
the glass partition above the counter
where ground glass windows should
have been and were not.
The reason for the glover from the
chairman Of the finance committee
was that 1t takes money to replace
broken ground glass windows and the
old watchdog of the treasury has put
the screws down tight on the city's

The mayors decision to sign ordi-
nances OF intention for street work is
commendable, for, notwithstanding the
fact that there is no board of public
works, it is still the duty of the mayor
to either sign or veto the ordinances
which come to him from the city coun-
ell. Two wrongs never made a right,
and the fact that the council is with
holding action on the mayors appoint
ments would hardly Justify the mayor
stopping the public business by refus-
ing action upon ordinances. The mayor
has scored a point with all citizens.
