WOMEN'S CLUBS
club ExhlbIts Metal Work

Old bronze takes on a charm and
beauty which it never had before when
in the hands of A. de Wolffers. whose
repousse work was exhibited yesterday
afternoon at the monthly tea of the
Friday Morning club in, the Woman's
club house.
What, in any but true artists hands,
would be a mere piece of metal, under
Mr.. De Wolffers skillfud touch, is a
thing of beauty. The artist has pro-
duced whole scenes on his bronze, and
his portraits are wonderfully true to
life. 1t seems hardly possible that the
metal could be nodded so perfectly and
every line placed SO exactly, but it
takes months of labor and patience. Mr..
DeWolffers has ample reward, though.
for his time, in the beautious things he
fashions.
Mrs. e. J. Elson, Mrs. Ernest Firth
and Mrs. e. J. Wouter served tea for
the club yesterday.

POLICE CLOSE
'ILL|HEE CLUB
Officers Say Institution Is "BIind Pig
and Proprietor Was Operating
Without a Liquor
License

A "blind pig which, according to the
police, has been operated on the most
wholesale and f1agrant scale of any IL
legal liquor dispensary known OF in
the annals of Los Angeles. was un-
earthed yesterday afternoon by Of
f1cers Ingram, Pendergast, King and
Holme in what has formerly been
known as the Illihee club at Central
avenue and Slauson.
John Carr, the proprietor of the So
called CLUB" was arrested and taken
to the central station, but was released
when a friend paid bond of $100 for
his appearance in court.
Although the "club" has been posing
as an exclusive rendezvous of sporting
men, being located near Ascot park,
and membership card has been cir
culated among the patrons of the place,
In lieu of paid dues 1t was, according
to the officers. a very easy matter for
one to gain entrance to the bar pro-
Vided he was in possession of the price
of a drink-and they were high.
The officers found a regularly ap-
pointed bar in the "club," around which
the same crowu Of men that make
themselves familiar at the corner saloon
were grouped, and drinks were being
dispensed to all who came without the
slightest request for membership cards.
The officers state that the place has
been doing a regular business of not
less than SIS day in the sale of
draft and bottled drinks and several
hundreds of dollars worth of liquors
were found in the place at the time of
the raid.
No resistance was made by the pro-
prietor when the officers arrested him,
although he demurred to the accusa-
tions for time and, it is said. claimed
to have a liquor license. However, as
he failed to produce 1t, he was placed
under arrest and the Illihee club was
closed.

PAN-AMERICAN ROAD
ROUTE PROPOSED BETWEEN
ALASKA AND PATAGONIA
The Dream of Charles M. Pepper,
United States and Pan-Amer-
lean Railway Com
missioner

Years ago, when Cecil Rhoades was
In the height of his African successes
ana was doing more than any other
man to develop the British interests
there, he startled the world by his pro-
posal OF Cape to Cairo railroad. and.
In spite of the skepticism OF most peo-
pie, went steadily ahead with his plans,
and to-day what people then declared
was but wild dream has come very
near being a reality.
In this country to-day we hear talk
OF an Alaska TO Patagonia railroad,
and we think of it as a bit of
romancing, but its protector is just as
much in earnest as was Rhoades In re-
gard to his African continental road,
and he declares he expects to see his
plans realized some day.
The man who is SO daring as to sug-
gest such vast enterprise is Mr..
Charles M. Pepper. He is United
