very patriotic and enthusiastic. Yield

When the good clothes which our
soldiers left home with and goods
began to be scarce on account of the
blockade, soldiers sewing societies
were formed for the purpose of MAX

The hl"rkHdr was more vigil and goods
not I" be had. the women gladly gave
their w"olrn dresses. blankets, carDcts,
plan" covers. and anythin" that could
be used for the comfort of the loved
ones exposed t" the rigid winters in
Virginia. Then the women wore
h"mcSpum dresses woven in their
homes on hand looms. and felt ylad
that they t"" could share in some
measure the privati"ns their loved
ones were enduring. The writer re-
members well the four humrSpun
dresses of which she was the proud
p"SsrSS"r. trimmed with buttons cut
out Of Il ""urd and covered with black.
And as the hats gave out. we plated
ry" straw and made our own hats
after nur own fashions.

KEPT PRISONER FOUR DAYS
Woman Claims to Have Been Locked
In Room and Abused by
Drunken Conopsnion

Battery charges were filed against
n man giving his name as Johnson
by Prosecuting Attorney Fredericks
on the complaint Of Miss Theresa
Rose, who claims she was enticed to
this city by johnson. who locked her
I'm q room four days and kept her
prisoner to amuse him in his drunken
revels.
According to the girls story she was
working i'm the St Francis hotel as 2
parlor maid when she left San Fran
cisco. Seeing an Advertisement in one
OF the northern city papers for u
young woman to travel with a diamond
salesman. Miss Rose answered IL. She
fell in with Johnson. who represented
himself as the diamond dealer.
Alter travelling through the state
the couple came to Los Angeles and
took rooms on Ruth avenue. Miss Rose
claims that Friday night she was
locked in room and kept prisoner
until Tuesday. when Johnson came
home intoxicated aud after venting
his wrath on her kicked her into the
street.
Miss Rose then went to the
Deaconess home. Not until yesterday
was the case brought to- the attention
Of the police. A thorough investiga-
tion was made and a battery charge
was preferred against Johnson. The
police believe he has left the city
The suspect was arrested last night
by Patrolman w. T.. Smith. The po-
lice say his name is not Johnson, but
Joe Davis.

FIX Slate FOR
BOARD Of WORKS
COUNCIL AND MAYOR MAY
AGREE
Arthur c. Harper, A. H. sostwick and
w. S. Kingsbury Given as List
Acceptable to City
Legislators

Arthur c. Harper Democrat, \. H.
Bostwick and w. S. Kingsbury. Repub-
licans. will form the board of public
works on which the council and Mayor
McAleer will finally agree, it is as
serted.
These names have been suggested to
both the mayor and the council, and
the councilmen have expressed a will
ingness to consider the names if the
mayor will submit them. These men, it
is contended, are the only hope of
breaking the deadlock between the
council and the mayor on the question
of a board of public works.
Kingsbury. it is claimed, is we'll fitted
for the position as member of the
board of public works He is assistant
TO City Engineer Harry Stafford and an
engineer of considerable promise and
experience. 1t was firmly believed in
city nall circles that Kingsbury would
be named by the mayor as member of
his board and much disappointment
was expressed when his name was not
submitted to the council. So firmly did
his colleagues believe he would receive
the nomination that at the annual
"give-away" held in the office of the city
engineer just before Christmas an en-
bossed parchment. naming his appoint
ment, had been prepared as his Christ
mas present. When it was found that
he was not considered by the mayor
the appointment was draped in crepe
and Civ II to him anyhow.
Bostwick is chief deputy in the office
of the city auditor and is considered an
authority on ways and means of pro-
viding funds for proposed improve
ments. Both Bostwick ard Kingsbury
are Republicans and bear the stamp Of
approval Of the Parker machine.
A. 9. Harper who is president of the
Consolidated Pipe company, is we'll
known Democrat and a prominent
member of the Tammany club.
The mayor has ceased his efforts to
force "A decision on the part of the
council on his nominees, Gen. j. r..
Mathews. E. r. Perkins and c. o. Win
ters, as the city attorney has ruled that
the board is not official unless con-
firmed by the council. 1t was the
mayors plan at first to have his board
assume its duties and act on public
improvements without the councils
confirmation in an effort to force the
council to some action.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
ElIery Concert at Venice

Mr.. Ellery is outdong himself in
the arrangement of the programs FOR
the concerts of his great band in the
Venetian gardens this year. For
this evening the program is one OF
special interest in that it is made up of
the works of two composers who repre-
sent the most widely divergent ideas in
operatic compositions. They are Wag-
ner and DoniZetti, the one standing
for all the complexities of the age and
the other. it might he said, for the
simple life" as it is reflected in music
Wagner will be represented by the
"Tannhauser" overture, 'Lohpngrin"
prelude, the "Meistersinger" Prize
Song and the March and Even Star
aria from "Tannhauser. The Doni-
zetu selections will be La File du
Regiment" "Poliuto' and the grand
scene from Lucia di Lammermoor,
commencing with the Chorus of Wed
ding Guests and finishing with the
great seXtet. The soloists of the
exening will be Signor Palma and
Riso.

"BOOKIE" DISAPPEARS
Partners Claim He Has Taken $4,000
of Firms Money, but Have No
Recourse at Law

According to b. Wilcox, Vesey and
Monigan. bookmakers at Ascot park, II
B. Ward, a partner in the firm, abb
seconded with $4,000 of the firms money
Wednesday and left note for his part
ners, telling them that he had lost the
money.
Information received by the men that
lost the money was to the effect that
Ward left Los Angeles Wednesday
morning for Arizona. Since opening at
Ascot Ward has been trusted with the
money for the book. After each race
he has taken the money and deposited
it in the Southern California Savings
bank.
The partners applied to the detectives
for assistance and later to the prosecut-
ing attorney, but We're refused a COM
plant. as the money was used as a
