AN EVENING WITH GYPsIEs
The Today Club Had Its Social Even.
ing Tuesday at the Home of
Mrs. Doyle.

In the outlined program of the
Today Club, one of the literary clubs
of the city, one of the evenings OF
the year is devoted to a social fea-
tu1e. and Tuesday evening the men,
hers assembled at the home of Mrs.
A. I'll. Doyle, on Third Avenue
west. A six O'Clock dinner was serv-
ed in six courses, each member con-
tributing something for the spread
and it was an elegant and tempting
menu that was put together. The
tables looked %resplendent in their
cut glass and silver, and cut flowers
we've an added adornment, which
also found places in several rooms.
While dinner was being served Miss
Genevieve Branson on the violin and
Miss McGrath as accompaniste en-
tertaiued the guests with music.
Nearly all the ladies we're dressed
in gypsy costumes, some of which
were fantastic and quite appropriate
to the occasion. The committee had
arranged the program so as to include
levery member of the club to make
an appearance in some form. Sew
eral Of the ladies who do not make a
speciality Of singing, collaborated on
a speciality that was given a humor-
GUS rendition, and several others in
diyidually took advantage of the
same opportunity to get through
with their exercise as easy as posi-
BILE. Vocal solos we're rendered by
Misses Noble and Scallin and Mrs.
e. 3. Vermilyea. Mrs. e. j.
Haynes presented a most interesting
paper in which she introduced in the
running Of her story the name of
each member OF the club. 1t was
voted a highly entertaining paper
and she vas congratulated for its
originality. Mrs. Vermilyea pre-
sented a dream in which she took
the entire club on a most interesting
and instructive trip through France.
which was it, the nature of a review
of the study which the club has given
that country during the winter.
During the latter part of the even
ing an enjoyable experience was that
of having the fortunes Of the mem
bers told by the system of palmistry.
Mrs. Stafford, who has given the sub
lect considerable study, read the
palms with a great deal Of accuracy
and the prophecies which were fore
told in the strong or light lines of
the hands caused more or less amuse-
ment.
:The gypsy entertainment was a
pronounced success, and the many
happy and amusing features that
were introduced throughout the
hours Of the gathering will long be
remembered as a most happy and de-
lightful occasion.

BARGAIN SHOE SALE
CAUSES BIG SCRAMBLE
STRENUOUS DAY AT THE BROAD

Hats Crushed and Clothing Torn DUR
ine Crush of Anxious Buyers.
Thirty=five Thousand Pairs OF
Shoes Sold During Yesterday

my! amt those red ones with the
gray tops cute"
"Whew! but that pair would be
peach to wear tonight" and similar
expressions came from all sides at the
shoe sale of the Broadway Department
store yesterday.
A universal price of 81 was fixed on
all the shoes, and a couple of hundred
pairs, each with a dollar bill in them,
were displayed in the windows. one
small urchn passing by remarked:
Gee! but them are cheap; you only
pay dollar for them and then they
give you dollar bill"
But the windows were not even in 1t
compared to the sale itself. The shoes
were on the third floor and the crush
WAS so great that the elevators were
overtaXed and many purchasers climbed
the two flights of stairs.
AS soon as the doors opened yesterday
morning hundreds of people rushed in,
falling over themselves and everybody
else, tripping on their skirts or some
body else's skirts, elbowing and even
pinching.
The first detachment all got into the
shoe room, but the next time the floor
managers were more wary and they
kept the crowd back with ropes until
a few had purchased their shoes and
escaped. Every district of Los Angeles

Mothers had their children, from babies
in arms to half grown girls and boys.
Men We're there with their wives, and
everybody was bent on getting the best
shoe in the place.
A Russian with his little girl was go
ing up and down the aisles hunting for
pair of shoes heavy enough for the
child. He looked in disdain upon shoes
with soes a quarter of an inch thick,
and finally he went away disguised
when the clerk told him those were the
heaviest he had.
One tired mother was having a hard
task She had five children with her,
and was trying to get handsome shoes
for all Of them. She looked as if It
was practically hopeless task.
Thirty-five thousand pairs of shoes
were Sold and doubtless the same num-
Der of people, despite broken hats, torn
dresses and ripped gloves, are glowing
inwardly thinking of the money they
have saved on their new shoes.

DENIES FRANCHISE
TO |. A.-PAC|F| F|C
COMPANY CANNOT HAVE RAIL
ROAD RIGHT IN TUNNEL
Council In Comnlttee Of the Whole
Decides Adversely to the APP
pIlcatlon as Request Now
Is Worded

The Los AnGeles-Pacific Railway
company will not receive railroad
franchise from the city council to
enable 1T to run through the proposed
Hill street tunnel.
This practically was decided yester-
day when in meeting of the commit
tee of the whole the company's re-
quest for a railroad franchise was de-
MED.
While the committee of the whole
was filing the petition City Attorney
Hewitt ami Judge Pope. legal repre-
sentative of the railway company,
were attempting to settle the question
in a conference.
The city attorney told Judge Pope
that he would never consent to a rail-
road franchise for this company along
the lines asked for. A compromise was
offered whereby the railway was adj
vised to either ask for a street railway
franchise or a railroad franchise from
Sunset boulevard to First street only.
This would take the tracks through the
tunnel but It would not give the Los
Angeles-Paciic railroad privileges
from Fourth street on Hill through to
Sunset boulevard.
one reason given for refusing
railroad franchise is that other street
railways are carefully watching tho
outcome of this petition and should
a railroad franchise be granted in this
instance the city attorneys office fears
that never again, in the history of
Los Angeles would a railway fran
chise be asked for.
There are several points of advant-
age to a street railway company in
having a railroad franchise. A rail-
road franchise cannot be put up for
competitive bidding as railway fran
chise may. railroad franchise car
res with it a privilege of hauling
freight, which cannot be legally done
under a railway franchise, and rail-
road franchise practically invalidates
the twenty -one-year clause under
which franchises are granted. There
is a strong question in the mind of
the city attorney whether railroad
franchise, granted under the existing
laws, is not a perpetual privilege.

The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1906-06-19

Editor Leader: when the old cats
away. the mice will play is just as
true today as when fl uttered; as is
forcibly shown by an article in the
State Capital about starting capitol
building at Guthrie prior to 1918. We
presume it was written by the Juvenile
editor OF that paper, in the absence OF
and without revision by the senior
editor, and does not reflect the sent-
ment Of the people or Guthrie or any
thoughtful friend.
Guthrie will stand for no evasion OF
a true construction Of our enabling act;
TO attempt to secure the erection Of a
capitol building here or in any part of
Oklahoma prior to 1918, would be an
unlawful and nagrant violation of the
act, and neither Guthrie or Guthrie's
friends, will support such an action,
no one can represent Guthrie in our
first legislature who would advocate
such a violation of our fundamental
law. The article does nct reflect the
sentiment OF Guthrie Provision is
made in the act for the temporary ac
commodation OF the constitutional
convention and etc. and II should and
will be only for a modest and abso-
lutely necessary temporary accommo-
dation. "oLD SOLDIER"

that she might marry August Spies.

completely in the Haymarket riot,
links her husbands name with that
OF Mrs. Dora Greenfield, divorced wife
of DR.. Jacob Greenfield.
She charges that Malato attempted
to secure a divorce from her by fraud
while she was travelling in Italy The
trip, she says, was taken at his re-
quest, and It was not until she was
notified by Judge Walker that a de
fault had been entered against her
that she knew Of the action. Mrs.
Malato says that her husband offered
her a large monthly allowance. pro
viding she win allow him to OBTAIN a
decree OF divorce so that he may mar

as to her whereabouts, nor would he
discuss the case.

Spies publicly in the courtroom.
With unlimited means she attend
ed each session OF court in a differ

expensive material, and spent a large
sum in sending flowers and candles
to Spies all the time he was in jail.
Spies accepted her professions Of
love in a matter OF fact way. and
finally consented to a marriage in
the hope that ii would change the
opinion of the public toward him and
