NEW YORK CONNECTING ROAD.
Direct Route for Freighting Over New
 Haven Road.

Direct Route for Freighting Over New
 Haven Road.
 The settlement of the dispute between the city and the Pennsylvania Railroad company as to certain details in terms under which the Pennsylvnia wishes to build link which will give an all-rail route through New York city is of great importance not only to New York and the Pennsylvania, but to all prts of the country which it's vast mileage serves and to New Haven as well, The connecting link, over which there has been so much discussion and not a lit- tie ill-feeling, will give the Pennsyl- Wania an all-rail line across Manhattan Island and the two rivers to the tracks of the New Haven & Hartford, and therefore to all New England points. It is many years since this object was sought by the Pennsylvania, but as bridging the North river was made inn practicable, and as tunneling had not in those days been brought to such a sim pie matter as now it is, there was no way in which the desired end could be atatained
 The connecting road is to form link in the system that brings freight from the Pennsylvania depot in Jersey City to the New York, New Haven & Hartford yards at Mott Haven. The freight will be brought from Jersey City across the bay to Bay Ridge, thence carried to Sunnyside, a suburb of Long Island City and by means of a yiaduct across Wards Island, be for warded to Mott Haven

New Haven Theater.

Two of the marvellous scenes of "The Volunteer Organist," which comes to the New Haven theater as the Christ mas attraction, tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, are the snoWstorm scene in which a lost child is rescued by two St. Bernard dogs, and the in terior of a church where the volunteer nrganist is seen at his post, and the choir boys led by Master Willie Nel- son, the wonderful boy soprano from the famous Trinity church, New York city, render "The Holy City" and "The Palms"
 One of the scenes of the idea Amer ican pastoral play "The Volunteer Organist," which is to be produced shortly in this city is the rescue of two tots in snowstorm by a pair of canines. In order to make this situa- tion as realistic as possible, Manager w. w Newcomer has imported two genuine St. Bernard dogs from Switz- erland to this country. These dogs have done actual service in the Alps, and one of them "Monarch.' is the hero of a score of rescues. There dogs were formerly the property of the monks, and it was with reluctance that they were permitted to depart from the monastery,
 "Mardo," the other dog, is not as larg eas Monarch" but the two are considered the finest specimens of the St. Bernard ever brought to America. A few days ago, Jacob Rupert. the proprietor of the Rupert kennels, when he saw Monarch" offered $2,5OO for him. MT. Newcomer refused the offer and said that twice that sum could not purchase him,
 The public will have an opportunity of seeing these wonderful dogs at ev- cry performance.
 Unlike other plays, dramatized from book form, this remarkable work from the pen of William B. Gray emanated from his immensely successful song of the samo title.
 The song had a most phenomenal sale. over 2S5O00 copies being sold in its dramatic form it is accepted by the appreciative public with even more gusto. if that be possible.
 MT, Gray has long enjoyed the dis
 tinction of being one of the trlo of most successful song writers, the other two of the group being the late Paul Dresser and Charles K Harris. There will be holiday matinee Christmas day at which night prices will be charged and the regular mati- roo yyo51oodav eoouro eoo+e n4 o.o. as the advance sale has been large.

ION DANGEROUS GROUND


 The comedy element is particularly strong in the new melodrama "On Dangerous Ground from the clever pen of r. Summerfield, which will be the attraction at the New Haven thea ter for three nights and Saturday mat inee beginning Thursday night, De- cember 27. The authors selection of comedy characters has been very hap py in this thrilling picture of life in San Francisco. The sister of the her oine, the soubrette part, Is dime nov el reading young lady, who vows to never marry anyone but an ideal hero of the Nick Carter stamp. Freddie Fripp, the innocent boy who would like to make her his wife, does all sorts of foolish things to meet her re- quirements of heroic accomplishment, even to throwing a lad in the river and jumping after him and saving his life for which he is promptly arrested by prosaic policeman. Rosy O'Grady is another laugh-provoking character. Rosy and her roth covered beer can, her Irish wit and contagious laughter a~pear in nearly every scene of the play. Freddie's final heroic act of sliding down fireplace chimney into the luxuriou7ly Oriental apartments of Chang Wah, kind of 'F'riseo's China town, where the heroine is held prison- CT, and turning the tables on the will lainous Chink by tying his cue to a rope and having him hauled up the chimney by his hair finally wins for him the love of the soubrette. The play is filled with sensational situa- tions and comedy is rife all the time. The scenic settings are most sumptu-

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Fheats4.

With the applause of New York au- diences, whom she delighted for the past twelve months, still ringing in her ears, "The Girl of the Golden West" David Belasco's great drama of Cali fornia and the gold fields in the days of '49, comes to the Hyperion Christ mas, matinee and night.
 The part of the girp' in "The Girl of the Golden West" was so delicatey moulded that it's best interpretation re- quires more than a careful reading and ordinary ability in deIineation of char acter. Belasco, the story teller, Belas- co, the playwright, and Belasco, the producer, are all seen in what is ap- proximately their best. In book form the tale would enjoy enviable popular ity. It is story of love and adventure told with remarkable skill. The cli- maxes are thrilling, but so carefully approached and consummated that the spectator almost invariably fails to know their strength until they are nearly passed. In the relaxed tension their power is realized,
 With the Sierra Nevadas to furnish the background and a group of typical forty-niners as movable pawns, it is little wonder that MT. Belasco has transformed his story into a drama that really deserves to be called great. A description of the action would re- quire much more space than can De given here.

"The Tourists" which comes to this city for an engagement of one night only, at the Hyperion next Thursday, can honestly be accredited as one of the musical and positive hits of the season, as it has remained at the Ma jestic theater for an engagement of six consecutive months in New York and was popular in Boston for four months The book and lyrics by R. H. Burnside, the music of Gustave Kerker, form an entertainment of unusual diversion, and besides containing all the humor of a well-made farce comedy, there are in- cluded in it's musical numbers some of the best song hits in recent years. Among these are Its Nice to Have a Sweetheart" sung by Madge Criehton and a chorus of girls, and Love is a Wonderful Thing" The company in cludes, besides those mentioned, such players as Richard Golden, Grace La Rue, Edna Mcclure, Edna Chase Ma bel Wilbur and an ensemble force of more than seventy

James Wade Arrested for Reckless
Drivlng-Rev G.. G. Lehmer In
Bed From lnjurIes-PoIice Say
AutomobiIist is Old Offender

While riding his wheel south on MAR
street yesterday morning Rev. G. G.
Lehmer, pastor of the German Baptist
church on Hancock avenue, was rur
down by an automobile, driven by
James Wade. The clergyman was
bruised and shaken up and received
several decorations of the body. He will
recover. He was first taken to the re-
ceiving hospital and later removed to
his home, 219 South Gates street.
Detectives Redmond and Ingram
were detailed to arrest the chauffeur
for fast driving. He will probably be
arraigned in court today The investi-
cation by the detectives revealed the
fact that Wade took the big machine
from 80 South Spring street without
the permission of the owners, Arnaz &
White, cigar dealers.
The police say that Wade jumped into
the motor car. and speeded up Spring
street, meeting three girls. These joined
the party, which then started in the
direction of the plaza. When opposite
the st. Elmo hotel the machine swerved
to one side of the street and smashed
into the wheel ridden by Rev. Mr.. Leh-
mer. While the clergyman lay uncon-
scious on the pavement Wade left
the automobile and disappeared. The
girls started on the run up Main street
without even inquiring as to the extent
of the injuries sustained by the victim
of Wade's carelessness.
According to the police, Wade has
been in court several times for violat-
ing the speeding ordinance.

searched several rings were found In
his pockets. He could not give any
satisfactory reason for having them in
his possession and the police believe
that he may be one of the ghouls who
robbed the dead and dying in San
Francisco on the days following the
fire. Dillon will be held for examina-
tion.
Owing to a lack of evidence against
them, kid" Funk and James Eagan,
two San Francisco men with a police
record, were released yesterday after
noon on their promise to leave the city.
Acting Chief Flammer said that he
had instructed his men to arrest all
suspicious characters. Many of these
will be released after the officers are
given an opportunity to see the men.
AS there are supposed to be number
of San Francisco crooks in the city the
police are trying to become familiar
with the faces of the newcomers. This
is one reason for the number Of arrests
on suspicion during the past week.

SATURNAL|A OF
CRIME BEGINS
POLICE ARREST MANY SUS-
PICIoUS CHARACTERS
, Influx Of Refugees Brings Hundreds
of Clever Crooks-Drag-net
Out for Undesirables.
Hold Few Persons

The saturralia of crime has begun.
From all sections of the city reports
of robberies, burglaries and petty
thefts are being made to the police.
Porch climbers, pickpockets and bold
highwaymen are being arrested almost
hourly. The police are of the opinion
that the carnival of crime is directly
traceable to the influx of refugees from
San Francisco and other northern
places.
In the crowds or refugees the police
say there are hundreds of the cleverest
of crooks. While the majority of the
refugees are honest. law-abiding citi-
zens there is a proportion of the direct
ly opposite. 1t is these undesirables
who are carrying on the nefarious
practices.
Instructions have gone out from
headquarters to all policemen and de-
tectives to arrest all suspicious char
acters. If, after investigation, the ar
rested persons are found to be blame
less they will be allowed to go their
ways. The police are endeavoring to
become familiar with all newcomers,
good and bad.
Men Predominant
In the horde of criminals coming to
Los Angeles from the north men pre-
dominate. But few women have been
arrested so far.
The police are endeavoring to carry
on system of drag-net arrests, so that
no guilty person may escape. After
each roundup the police deport the
greater portion of those taken.

MURDER WAS
ALSO INTENDED
Cowboy Nell and her COnSOrt had
Planned Murder and Robbery.

Apropos of an article that appeared
in the BONANZA of the 18th inst. con
corning a modern "Madamme Panta-
looms" or Cowboy Nell'' as she was
better known, whowore "men's pants
and gave out the statement that she
was going to prospect in the deserts
in the vicinity of Tonopah, a dispatch
from Phoebe under date of the 25th inst.
says that this dame, with her consort
Monroe Sanford, had a plot deeper than
was at first supposed. Every house in
De Lamar that carries money was to be
looted, and the work was to wind up by
numbering Frank and Sid Pace, then
rob the store, and bury the bodies in
a grave already dug under the house in
which Munroe and Nell were living.
Had it not been for detective Hanks
gaining their confidence and joining in
with them in all their work, they would
have robbed the citizens of De Lamar
of at least $25, 600 and murdered two
reputable yonng men of that camp.
The plot was well laid and had thew not
supposed they recognized in Hanks a
noted criminal known as Jack Golding.
now serving time in the p~enitentiary,
and confded in him, it would have been
carried out as planned.
