Our Electric Light Plant.

The Board Of Managers Of the Electric
Light Plant have every reason to be
thankful Their service Of late has
been very satisfactory. A competent
man is in charge of the plant and light
service and is always working to please
the consumers. u q =
Their patronage has increased inn
mensely within the past few months,
owing chiefly TO the good service sup
piled.
Messrs. w. r. Wilson, Duval Bros.
Gilmore & Davis Co., P. T. Nicholson,
NJ Goodman, Levy Bros, j. w. Cor
bett, VanBrunt e. Demilly, ourselves
and many others have installed, as
larger quantity of electric lights, some
of them depending entirely on same for
their light supply.
All Of this should be an encourage
ment to the managers of the plant to
see that their output is increased as
much as possible, thereby assuring the
patrons the best service possible at all
times.
The merchants are doing their part,
so be sure and do yours; show that it is
appreciated, and when all things are
equal, or more than equal, give the
City's Electric Plant the benefit of it.

OCEAN PARK, Jan. PA docu-

Ocean Park all streets and alleyways

by the city council last night.
The Abbot Kinney company former

oughfares, many of which are improved
and all of which are within the cor

Much surprise was occasioned by the
action of the council in ignoring alb
solutely any reference to the license
question which it was generally I'M
derstood would be the subject to which
the trustees would give especial at
tention during the evening. The Alb
bot Kinney company has practically
demanded that one blanket license
cover every attraction and concession

sion one week ago almost came to
blows i'm trying to adjust the situation.

DONATELLI ON DEMAND
LAYS DOWN HIS BATON
MUSICIANS IN ROUND ROBIN PRO-
TEST HIS WAYS
Cincione, Trombone Artist, Is Now
Leader of the Band at Long Beach
and Harmony Reigns Where Dis
organization Threatened

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Jan. ga new figure
appeared in the role of leader of the
Donatelli band this afternoon as the
result of an open revolt of musicians
against Nicola Donatelli, who has been
director since its formation. Domenico
Gattone was approached by a committee
of band men armed with "round rob-
i'm signed by twenty-five of the men
protesting against the conduct of the
versatile director. In a plain, straight
forward manner the Italians explained
to their manager that Donatelli's con-
duct has been abusive. He has been
not only profane, but violent, frequent
ly attacking the younger men with
clenched fists when in a musical
mood"
Prior to reading the round robin
Gattone had been familiar with condi-
tions existing II the band and he rea-
Lied that he must act at once. He eX-
planned to Donatelli that he must either
resign or the band would be disorgan-
lied The leader readily consented and
left Long Beach without delay.
For the present Donatells place has
been taken by Felipe Cincione, former
solo trombone player. Cincone is a
leader of considerable experience, hav-
ing conducted band at Naples, Italy
Tor seven years before coming to this
country. Immediately upon receiving
Donatellis resignation Gattone wired
an italian leader in Philadelphia, who
is expected to arrive in Long Beach
about February l.
Not long since the leader delivered
a rebuke at one of the concerts, it is
claimed, in broken English, shouting al
the auditors that they were the mos
impolite people he had ever come il
contact with. The dumbfounded Ions
Beachers made no demonstration.

WOMAN ARRESTED
ON ARSON CHARGE
MAY HAVE TO STAND TRIAL
FOR MURDER
Mrs. Emma Patterson, Who Conducts
Resort In Chino, Wanted in
Connection With Shooting
of Lizzie Smith
Special to The Herald.

| Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 24.--Sher-
| if j. G. Ralphs today arrested Mrs.
Emma Patterson, who has conducted
a resort i'm Chino for years. She is
charged primarily with arson, and a
second charge of murder may be placed
against her.
1t is for the sensational shooting of
Miss Lizzie Smith of Pomona in Chino
the night of october Z, 1902, that the
woman is wanted. On that night the
Smith girl, who was 49, visited the Pat
terson resort in company with Andrew
Trlnkle of Pomona. They left there at
11:30 in a carriage but had driven but
a few rods from the house when sew
eral shots rang out from an ambush
and the girl fell dead in the young
mans arms one of the bullets striking
her squarely in the back of the neck.
The officers at that time searched
unavailingly for evidence. but were UNI
able to connect anyone with the crime
with any degree of certainty and the
case was finally dropped.
Last July the house occupied by the
Patterson woman was mysteriously
burned and she collected $1400 insur-
ance. Suspicion at the time pointed
strongly to its being case of incendiar-
ism. but 1t could not be proved.
Recently Mrs. Patterson wrote a let
ter to Mrs. Josie McFarlane of this
city in which she is alleged to have
confessed the burning of her house and
boasted that for a week previous she
had been removing valuable articles
from the building and hiding them. She
is also alleged in the letter to have con-
fessed to the murder, and this letter
is now in the possession of the sheriff.
The Patterson woman was today form
ally charged with arson and held for
A. H.. L. hair
placed at $1,000 but not furnished.

SAYS HUSBAND THREW
DISHES AT HER
MRS. FINkELsTEIN SUES FOR
DIVORCE
Former Chicago Club Woman Asks
Court to Break Bonds Which Bind
Her to Abraham, Whom She AS
serts Has Bad Temper

Because, as she alleged, her husband s
faVorite fad was hitting her on the
head with dishes and throwing plates
at her. Mrs. Elizabeth Finkelstein, Il
prominent club woman of Chicago,
yesterday brought suit for divorce from
her spouse, Abraham Finkelstein, be
fore Judge Trask in department four of
the superior court
Mrs. Finkelstein has been living i'm
Los Angeles about a year, and during
her stay here has been identified with
several prominent lodges and clubs.
According to the allegations of the
woman, the trouble between she and
her husband began many years ago
in Chicago because of his i'll temper
when under the influence of liquor. At
that time she commenced divorce pro-
Ceedings against him in the Chicago
courts, but withdrew the case when
her husband asked to be given another
chance. The woman appeared as the
chief witness in her own behalf, but
her testimony was corroborated by
that of her daughter Gertrude.
Mrs. Finkelstein testified in part as
follows:
I'VE were married in Chicago jan
uary 3, 1856 We lived happily for
many years and nothing serious hap
pened until my husband began to drink
and 1 started to get a divorce, but on
account of the children 1 withdrew
the case.
Throws Plate at His Wife
well, o short time before we came
to Los Angeles my husband and had
a little quarrel over something l had
bought for the children. He became
angry and said l bought things for
them that they did not need, and L
asked him If that was the kind of
| treatment I ought to receive after !
had pawned the rings off my fingers
for him.
AT that he became angry and picked
up his plate from which he had been
! eating and threw it in my face. He
then sent the children to bed and at
| tackled me, hitting me and knocking me
against the hall rack. 1 was bruised
| for days.
Sometime later I came home from
lodge little late and he abused be and
called me hard names and then he
| picked up q coffee pot and prepared
| to throw it Mt my head, whereupon one
| of the children slammed the door be-
| tween the dining room and the Kitchen
and that left him in the kitchen, but
! he still cursed me through the door.
'In Los Angeles he came home one
evening and he wanted me to go out
somewhere with him, and when I was
just little late about getting ready
he struck me and threw me half way
across the table.
For slight provocation at another
time, he grabbed some fine plates from
a fancy rack in the dining room and
chased me from the room, throwing the
plates at my head. One of them STRUCK
me in the shoulder"
Judge Trask granted the decree or
the ground of cruelty and settled the
community property in an equa
division.
