WOMEN FIGHTING POOL ROOM
Interesting Contest Between Husbands
and Wives Before Members of
Police Commission

The APPLICATION of r. F. Slater for a
billiard hall license for 1882 Central
avenue, made to the police commission
yesterday, resulted IN a contest be-
tween the husbands and wives in the
vicinity where it was proposed to es-
tablish the business. The men wanted
the pool room, but the women did not
and 1t is probable the women will win
the case. The matter was laid over
to be personally investigated by the
mayor and members of the commits
sion.
1t was contended that there are two
school houses within a short distance
of the proposed pool room and ex-
Chief Hammel frequently told the COM
mission that pool rooms were 'incu-
bators of vice. when placed within
easy of access of children.
The applicant admitted that he want
ed the business chiefly to provide a
loafing place for his customers while
they were waiting to be shaved. He
conducts a barber shop in the same
building where he proposes to establish
a pool room.

FUGITIVE MEADE
F0RFEITS BOND
DESPERATE MAN IS PROBABLY
MILES AWAY
kidnap Papoose, Robs Passengers
on Train, Is Overpowered, but
Finally Makes His
Escape

William Meade, known to the local
police as one of the cleverest and Most
desperate criminals in the west, has
jumped his bond and yesterday, at
the request of the district attorneys Of
flee and by order of Judge Trask In de-
partment one of the superior court the
bond of $3.50 was forfeited, and officers
will Immediately start on what is
thought to be a hopeless pursuit. M
Meade had served time in San QUEEN
tin on burglary charge and was i'm
plicated In several other charges. Two
months ago he boarded car at
Needles and Immediately became pop
ular with the tourists, who were anx-
ious to find some kind of amusement.
Meade proposed that they play a
game whereby one of the papooses of
the Indians at Needles was to be kid
mapped and later returned to Its people
kidnap Papoose
The plan was carried out we'll and
the baby taken into one of the cars.
Several hours later after the Indians
had become thoroughly enraged the
baby was found, and great excitement
ensued.
1t is alleged that at that time Meade
attempted to secure some of the be-
longings of the passengers and failed,
but a short time later, just after the
train had started, he was alleged to
have slipped his hand into berth oc-
cupied by an fastener and to have
drawn forth the fasteners purse,
which he was charged with having
rifled of three 500 bills.
When the loss was discovered blame
was cast on the porter, but he soon
proved an alibi, and one of tine pas
sengers remarked having seen Meade
searching the purse.
The man attempted to leap from the
car, but was overpowered by the porter
and conductor, and held while word
was telegraphed ahead to have an Of
ficer at the station to meet the train.
Detective Hugh Dixon took charge
of Meade, and he was placed under $3.50
bonds and held to await trial in the
superior court.
The trial was to have been held about
two weeks ago, but at that time a con-
tinuance was asked for. and the case
was set for hearing on Monday. Again
a continuance of one day was allowed
and yesterday when the case was
called Meades attorneys were forced
to admit that they were unable to To-
cate their client and that bail would
have to be forfeited.
1t is thought that Meade has left the
country.

courteous and so generous that she
and her hearers were en- rapport from
the start, and It was almost ere the
first group of songs was over, as IL
we were in our own parlor, listening to
a personal friend MARBLE for our
special benefit and entertainment.
There was in the whole concert a
closeness Of feeling and an absence
of patronizng effort such as so many
affect, that It was wholly delightful
The great prima donna smiled and
coquetted with her listeners; she all
most danced out from her room; she
grinned with pleasure and she bobbed
funny little bows, and altogether was
quite the good fellow generally. So
that element, too, added to the enjoy
ment, and it was almost like festival
of good humor as well as a musical
treat without a parallel.
What did she sing? oh, punches
of things. Her greatest was the won
defful "Elsa's Dream" from "Lohen-
grin" 1t was simply superb. Her
funniest was a Taubert 'Kfnderlied, ;"
in which she initiated a drum. Then
she could keep her lips pursed; but
half the time she laughed with her
hearers, and it was one huge joke.
Three times she sang "The Years at
Its Spring." and that wasn't enough.
German Song Group
She gave a group of FIVE German
songs that were exquisite, and she
sang others in English that were just
as fine.
She did two songs of that young
chap who played for her-a gracious
compllment-and she laughed like n
good one as she made him jump up
and down. bowling, till his shock of
hair wobbled.
And there was bit of an Irish song
that was a. love. and a Scotch air that
almost brought tears. And there were
others-lots of them-just as fine.
But what matters it? Gadsh could
sing a cradle song and make one cry,
and a drinking song and make one
dry--if she wished.
And even when it was all over and
half the folks had gone. the musical
enthusiasts shook the building with
their applause and she sang one more.
Oh, very generous Gadski 1t was,
and so happy. There's only one fear
now-that she won't come again soon.
One little bouquet for Mr.. La Forge.
He was fine, both as accompanist. as
composer and as pianist; quite worthy
to play for Gadsk. And he should
ask nothing more.

NEW QUARTERS
FOR LIBRARY
BOARD TAKES TWO FLOORS IN
LAUGHLIN ANNEX
Floor Space Amounts to 10000 Feet
With Provision for Roof Gar
dens and Outdoor Read
III ing Rooms

The public library will be moved. If
the present plans of the board of di-
rectors are carried into effect It will
be housed in the two upper floors of the
new Homer Laughlln annex on Hill
street, between Third and Fourth
streets, before the end of the next
month. The board held meeting yes
terday evening and agreed to take the
new quarters.
The library board has been offered
the upper floors in the new Laughlin
building for $3.50 a month, and each
member is enthusiastic over the pros
pect of getting into the new rooms. 1t
Is probably that three-year lease will
he signed today, with clause provid-
Ing for an extension of two years, at a
rental of $1,000 month 1t is not likely
that the board will avail itself of this
clause, however, for by the end of the
three-year term 1t hopes to have a
building devoted exclusively to library
purposes.
Inspect New Quarters
With the members of the finance COM
mittee of the city council the library
board yesterday made a thorough in
spection of the new quarters. The
building is three stories high, made of
reinforced concrete and thoroughly
fireproof in every respect; a feature
that appeals strongly to the members
of the board, as they consider them
selves responsible for the $200,000 worth
of books which the library owns and
which probably would be consumed or
entirely ruined by water if a blaze ever
secured Roadway in the city hall. In
addition to being thoroughly fireproof
the new building is equipped with an
automatic sprinkling device that would
quickly put out any fire that might
start in the library itself.
On the second floor, which will be
the main floor of the library, there are
two courts. The entire front and back
are of glass, and with the well ar
ranged courts 1t is probably one of the
best lighted rooms that could be Sc
cured anywhere in the city. This floor
has 10000 square feet of space and
every foot is available. The top floor
is arranged exactly as is the second,
with the exception that there is only
one large court in place of the two
smaller ones on the floor below. This
floor also contains 10000 feet of space.
Space for Roof Gardens
In addition to this 10000 feet, which

Time can only decide whether Strauss

Music In America? Well, America
Is still young country and cannot ex-

where for centuries the people have
been training for art-where even
small town has local opera COM

Artists and advertising. Are ar
lists created by great advertising?
Hardly. The public is not crazy and a
fake will run for a little time but
pretty soon It will be found out Ar
lists cannot be before the public long
without some talent to back them up.
Critics? Well, critic cannot either

Method? Well, there is only one
method and that is the right one. There
is no German, French or Italian
