from the Introduction of steel cars.
We confidently predict that the next
great step will be the general intro
duction OF steel shapes TO replace
wooden ties. BY the end OF this year
the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad
company expect to have In their
tracks 100000 OF these ties. which viii
cover fortytwo miles OF track and
weight $3.50 tons. This expenditure
Is based on experimental track laid by
them In the fall OF 1904. which has
shown satisfactory results under the
exceptionally heavy trafic OF last
year. In addition experimental lots
have been laid by about ten other
companies. M people are no doubt
familiar with this subject, and the
purpose OF this letter Is to ask II We
may not count on your cooperation In
the successful working out OF this
problem. which will mean so much to
us al manufacturers, and TO You as
carriers. II you care to communicate
with the Carnegie Steel company.

COMMITTEE MAY
BREAK DEADLOCK
MAYOR HAS CONFIDENCE IN
MEN CHOSEN
McAIeer Expresses Willingness to
Yield to Judgment of Citizens
In Board of Public Works
Controversy

Apparently clinging to the forlorn
hope that the council, tired of con-
Stantly rejecting the same names,
would in spirit of resignation con-
firm the board of public works which
he has set his heart OH, Mayor McAleer
yesterday afternoon again submitted
the names of w. NJ. Humphreys, e. II.
Perkins and Lester L. Robinson to be
confirmed by the council. But the
Legislators had had a conference with
five members of the citizens committee
of seven, and for the fifth time this list
was summarily rejected.
This conference with the citizens
committee, appointed at a meeting held
in the chamber of commerce last week,
was held between 2:30 and o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Every member of
the council was present at this meeting,
which was in executive session. What
happened during the conference neither
the members of the committee nor the
council will tell.
THE committee is now handling some
questions of a very delicate nature and
we have given our word that their con-
fidence will not be betrayed" said
Councilman Smith yesterday in dis
cussing the conference with the COM
mittee.
viii Trust Committee
This committee now has the views of
both the mayor and the council over
the deadlock, and I'm a. message to the
council yesterday the mayor expressed
a willingness to trust to this committee
to bring about an adjustment of the
case.
In his message Mayor McAleer said:
IT think 1t Is due the public that 1
should say, officially, that l have the
highest regard for and confidence in
the committee chosen some days ago
by the meeting of citizens at the cham
ber of commerce, and trust that their
sound judgment and high standing in
the community may bring about solu~
tion of the problem with which we are
confronted. But 1 have not yet re-
ceived any report or suggestion from
the committee and therefore feel that it
would be neither courteous to them nor
fair to the gentlemen whose names are
herewith presented to offer any other
names at this time to the council for
confirmation.
II have herewith submitted the
names Of three gentlemen whom l con-

R0SSHS HORSE
AT THE 0RPHEUM
IS A WONDER

Luigi Rossi's horse, Emir, at the
Orpheum cannot play a piano and he
cannot sing in English, or at least he
does not do these things in his act,
hut he does nearly everything else,
and some day his trainer will prob
ably rig him UP with a set of patent
fingers and an imitation voice, and he
will add these stunts to his roper
toire.
AS it is he is certainly the cleverest
little animal which has been seen in
vaudeville since Noah opened his fa-
nous hippodrome. Emir does every
thing that any other horse has ever
done at the Orpheum, and in addition
to doing his work he goes about it with
a spirit which is very material in add
ing success to a vaudeville act, as one
j. Francois Dooley also on this weeks S
bill, might learn to advantage.
j. Francois Dooley has a dancing
act, in which he is assisted by Dorothy
Brenner and Ethel Rose. There should
be more of the girls in the act and
less of Dooley's monologue. The girls
are pretty and dance well, and they
are merry little streaks of sunshine,
but the act needs more of the streaks
Besides, although Dooley's monologue
is fairly good of its kind, he was pre-
ceded by James Cullen, and the au-
dience was a little tired laughing
Now there was funny man for
anyone who wished to litter or guffaw.
He had a little bundle of songs, and
every one of them was a gem of the
first water. They were not all the
kind that make one laugh until ones
sides ache, but there is, after all,
really more amusement in listening to
a man who makes you smile with a
clever quib now and then, than to one
who keeps you in a continual uproar
with his absurdities. 1t is the differ
ence between razor and club-you
can kill with either one, but the razor
does the neater job. The whole thing
about Cullen is that he takes things
easy and delivers the goods.
The fourth of the newcomers Is the
Barowsky troupe of comedy" aero
bats. They are good enough acrobats
to dispense with the comedy, which is
quite European and rather beyond the
ordinary American. But their work
is translatable without the least diff
Guilty into any known or unknown
language, and when the little boy of
the quartet goes bouncing into the
air from the arms and shoulders of
the men, or balances himself on their
heads while they climb around each
other. back and forth, to and fro. up
and down-one does not really care
whether these Barowskys are Russians
or Frenchmen or Esquimaux on hol-
iday, for they are entertaining.
The holdovers are Snyder and
Buckley, the musical comedians: the
three Mitchells, colored entertainers:
Mirzl Won Wenzl, the yodler, and
Baron's funny burlesque menagerie.
The motion pictures show a scene
from LES Miserables" and are un-
usually good.

PRETTY GIRLS IN
BEAUTY SHOW
MASON AUDIENCE ENJOYS FINE
PRODUCTION
Ensemble Of the Seasons Makes strIk-
Ing Stage Pieture-seenlc Effects
Are the Most Elaborate
In Months

Los Angeles has had just enough time
to recover from the overdose of musical
comedy administered by managers a
few months ago, and "The Sleeping
Beauty and the Beast" was hailed with
approval at the Mason last evening.
with Beauty there is also a large
chorus of more than ordinary ability,
and though the piece Is lacking in
catchy songs the costumes are bright
and effective, while the jokes are not
quite all antiquated.
Barney Barnard came back and of
course that is the best part of 1t. He
not only came back but came armed
with all his old charm but little bit
that Is entirely new. AS Lena Beauty's
nurse he was effectively hldeous. and In
his quips and jokes he injected some
common everyday philosophy that was
not bad
The company is a large one and the
scenic effects more elaborate than any,
thing attempted at the Mason for
many months.
The story is the same old tale of the
Sleeping Beauty, the wicked witch, the
gallant Prince Charming and the
dozens and dozens Of court beauties.
Strange as it may seem there really
are many pretty girls In the chorus.
Beauty is in need of a new gown for
Ine nrSC dCI, DuU OunerWlSe Slle is an
acceptable parsonage. Rose Sartella
is seen in this part, and in her prinipal
solo was well received Miss Isabelle
Underwood as Prince Charming has a
voice with possibilities but is much in
need of training. She has sweet smile
and a personality which is promising.
Ralph Edwards and Charles Saunders
as the king and queen helped Mr.
Barnard in manufacturing laughs.
Each had a killing makeup.
The scene with Edith Arnold as the
witch was unique and her six assistants
at the spinning wheels formed an ex-
cellent chorus.
A new speciality and a most accept
able one was the woman's band in
which the girls appeared in red caps
and gowns and gave several numbers.
The cornet soloist was especially good.
The finale of the second act was one
Of the most striking ensembles of the
production. The entire chorus was on
the stage at this time and the various
seasons were represented. The dane
ing was fantastic and the chorus re-
vealed months of careful training.

STAGE HOBO
GETS LAUGHS
AT THE GRAND

The conventional stage hobo Is sup
posed to furnish the humor this week at
the Grand, "A Jolly American Tramp"
is the name of the bill. A person with
an uncouth dialect and ragged whiskers
does things upon the stage of the
Grand and gets an occasional laugh
from the gallery with his banal time-
worn wtticisms.
What terrible travesties upon the
word actor the Grand stage has had
to support. transforming ex-trage-
dians playing melodramas reeking with
the stencil of blood and smoke of blank
cartridges, would-be soubrettes sing
ing shrilly, almost good looking lead
ing men with weak mouths, these and
worse have been there and the long
suffering stage has endured them.
Most of them are there this week
with the Jolly American Tramp" The
idea of the lowest type of humanity,
the American tramp, being humorous.
To think of being whose only thought
is the price of a beer and an occa-
sional meal being made the subject for
Il play is nauseating.
There have been few productions at
the Grand with less excuse for exist
ence than the Jolly American Tramp"
The utter futility of watching a middle
aged man fall I'm and out of scene
would seem TO be painfully apparent.
The villain is discomfited in the usual
manner, no not In the usual manner,
that would imply that there were ex-

ALL TAVERN LICENSES
PLACED IN JEOPARDY
COMM ISSIoNERS MAY REVOKE
DEL MoNTE'S TODAY
Abolish Private Dining Rooms and
Upstairs Apartments Is the Advice
of Chief AubIe-The Mayor viii
Take a Hand

Police Commissioners Johnson and
Mason will make determined effort
today to have the license of the Del
Monte tavern revoked, because of the
public scandal resulting from the
tragic ending of Minnie Blough, a
pretty waitress, who died on the night
of February 6, after a drinking bout in
a private room at the Del Monte.
If the revocation of the hotel license
is thought to be too extreme a measure,
then these two commissioners will de-
mand that the proprietors of the Del
Monte remove their partitions and con-
vert the cabinets and private rooms
into open dining halls, where there
will be no opportunity for men about
town to indulge in drunken orgies with
silly girls.
Chief of Police Auble has plenty of
evidence as to the character of the
place and the police say that politics
ought not to protect a cafe whose
reputation has become notorious
through the unfortunate demise of
Miss Blough.
Not only the license of the Del
Monte, but of the Imperial. under the
same management, and other resorts,
where private rooms are maintained,
will be under discussion.
Commissioner Mason said yesterday
that while it was not probable that
any license would be revoked there
would be determined stand made
against the lodging house annex"
which forms feature of several pop
ular resorts.
Abolish private dining rooms and
upstairs apartments and there will be
less scandals connected with Los An
geles restaurants" said Chief of Po-
lice Auble. when people drink
within view of others certain amount
of decorum will always be main
tanned"
1t is understood that Mayor McAleer
has something to say to the police COM
mission about the Del Monte and other
similar resorts, and he has been hear
ing from friends of the liquor interests
as well as from those favoring the
revocation of licenses of those places
about which scandal hovers.

SHOOTING AND
GORE AT THE
NOVELTY

''The Devils Doings," is the attrac-
ton at the Novelty this week. For
the character of the house. it is well
enough. The stage settings are scanty
and the scenes which are intended to
arouse a breathless interest, fail to
do so.
The plot is hung around a sailor, who
fires a revolver at a detective The
detective falls dead and the sailor
thinks he did the dread deed.
The truth of the affair, as explained
in the last act, is that the revolver held
only blank cartridges and the detective
was really killed by an italian with an
air gun.
A love story is interviewer into the
substance of the melodrama and If one
cares for that sort of amusement, with
plenty of shooting, it is all right.

BLUECOATS TO PARADE TODAY
First Police Inspection Ordered Since
Chief AubIe Came Into
Office

There will be a police inspection and
parade this morning, the first since
Chief Auble came into office.
All the force except those on the
morning watch will be in line. Count
ing the men from the detectives office

be about 175 men in line. The patrol
wagon, police automobile and possibly
the bicycle squad will take part in the

streets and the line of march will take
in Spring, Broadway and Hill streets
ending with an inspection by the board
of police commissioners on Hill street.
The police will assemble at 1915
o'clock with Chief of Police Auble in
command. There will be no band or
music.
