GOOD SCHOOLS FOR THE RURAL
DISTRICTS.

II Is pity. Thousands Of children
are growing up In the Indian Terri
tory without the privilege Of obtain
Ing common school education.
The welfare Of the country children
demands statehood Barring this par
ticular and unfortunate condition there
is no reason In the world why the
country children should not enjoy
just as good school opportunities as
city children. They should have Just
as long school terms, Just as good
minds and characters and are as sus'
ccptiblc to uplifting inhuoI'ces. They
have just as much az stake IN the bat
tie OF life, and need just as much IN
tclligcucc in their business.
The Ardmuroltc is very much in
earnest In imprcssing upon men who
are going to aspire TO the public SER

and to bed soon afterward, he said,
and knew nothing of the damage done
to the various large windows until
after his arrest.
A jewish weighing $50 pounds was
caught carry this morning by Raymond
Darby, a boy, who was fishing off the
pier. Two men in a skiff played the
fish for ten minutes, at the end of
which time it was hauled i'm. 1t was
the first large fish to be caught off the
pier for five months.
There is on exhibition at a real es-
tate office here a relief map of the

Musical Comedy at Fischer's

Fischer's Musical Comedy company
offer for the current weeks attraction
"Our Neighbors' Wives" bright
musical comedy written and staged by
Fred l.. Griffith. Judging by the good
impression the comedy made at it's first
performance last night it should pack
the First street theater at very per-
formance. Manager Fischer has
strengthened his company by adding
such talented artists as Maud Kriech-
baum and Frank Burton, formerly the
popular baritone of the Hotchkiss
theater The chorus has also been
augmented by number of pretty girls
with good singing voices. which adds
much to the smoothness of the produc-
tion. A number of catchy songs are in
troduced this week, and the musical
numbers and dances are catchy and
up to date. The comedians, Lawrence
and West, have ample opportunity this
week to show their ability as comedians
and keep the audience laughing from
rise till fall of curtain. Nellie Mont
gomery and Bonnie May introduce
some novel specialties which, together
with the new motion pictures and a
good vaudeville act. complete one of
the best bills this theater has yet Of
fered.

HONOLULU TRIP WAS FAKE
Pasadena Couple Whose Disappear
ance Caused Much Excitement
Are In Cncago

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, June 1S.-It is reported
that Karl Knuth and his bride, who
was Mrs. Walen, are living somewhere
in Chicago, the story that they had
gone to Honolulu having been fake
pure and simple. The woman who
claimed to be Knuth's wife during her
sickness at private house in Alta
dena when KnIth was married to Mrs.
Wallen, has disappeared, and as she
positively refused to make complaint
against her presumed-to o-be erring hus-
band, it is likely that no effort will be
made by the authorities to prosecute
the man.
It is suggested in some quarters that
the woman living in Altadena may
not have been legally the wife of Knuth,
although admittedly the mother of his
child. and that for this reason she re-
fused to prosecute.
Deputy District Attorney Fleming,
who investigated the case at the time
of Knuth's disappearance, has stated
he believes her to be Knuth's wife, but
apparently believes conviction impos-
sible under the circumstances.

BELASC0 FARCE
IS LAUGHABLE
STOCK ACTORS MAKE GOOD
IN NEW BILL
"A Stranger In Strange Land"
Needs No Press Agent to Her.
aid II as a Side
Splitter

"A Stranger In Strange Land" the
farce comedy at the Belasco this week.
is laughable to a painful degree and it
needs no expletives of the press agent
variety to make IL convincing. The
awful trials of the Indian from Buffalo,
New York, or worse than that, of the
two men who are forced into the belief
that they are Indians are hopelessly
ridiculous. II is of course, the same
old story of too many of one knd-in
this case it is 1ndans--but the Indians
are all such remarka BILE persons that
they are interesting.
In the first and part of the second acts
the members Of the company did not
put quite as much snap into their work
as they might have done, but during the
latter part of the performance they
were all sufficiently warmed UP to make
a lively finish
From the charming young hero of
Soldiers of Fortune" to the position of
the prevaricating young Engishman
from the ranch In Buffalo, New York. is
a far step for William Walling, but he
makes the leap valiantly and does good
work, though 1t Is safe to say Mr.. Wall
ing is not as well fitted for the farce
comedy part as for the heroic. Juliet
Crosby, as the American girl who has
come from real cattle ranch not stu
charming bit of work. Her merry little
laugh is captivating, and even though
she did nothing but wear clothes she
would lend something to a stage pic
ture. for she wears everything well.
Marie Howe comes back from her vaca-
ton looking much the same as ever,
and in a part much like some of those
we remember so we'll. She is a clever
actress and this truth is no new one to
Los Angeles play patrons. AS Mrs.
Barton Holcomb, the aunt and trustee
to the fortune of the young man who
has just returned from America, she
succeeds in keeping that young man in
hot water most of the time.
Richard Vivian is one of the make
believe Indians and he adds many of
the most laughable bits to the perform
ance.
Clarence Montaine is the real Indian
with a penchant for fire water and the
Valuabes of all those he meets. Robert
Dempster has an active time portraying
the part Of the detective from Scotland
Yard and an Indian. William Yerance
and Howard Scott both do good work
and Adele harrington and Virginia
Brissac are others of the cast who help
to round out the performance.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
CHARMS HEARERS
AT THE ORPHEUM

Linden Beckwith, the Singing Por-
trait" is the best of the new acts at
the Orpheum this week. Her songs are
not new, but they are pretty, and her
costumes are all that could be desired.
To start with, Miss Beckwith is a de-
cidedly beautiful woman and with that
qualification does not find it difficult to
win her audience. The setting of her
act was original and added to it's value.
The Majestic Trio, composed of three
negroes was another new act. The
darker of the trio is said to be the only
negro on the stage who makes up black
er than he really is. The woman has
little excuse for being in the act, and
in fact it would be better as a single
turn of the smaller of the three.
Karl Heinrich of Julia and Karl
Heinrich sang the "Toreador" song
from Carmen as it has never, per-
haps, been sung professionally in Los
Angeles. His rather thin voice was
which for ideal rendition requires a
robust baritone. Julia Heinrich
played the piano and sang. Her work
was better than that of her companion.
The Soils Brothers with an odd sort of
an instrument called "El Melodioso"
opened the bill. In view of some of
the acts which followed. they were
worthy of better place on the pro-
gram. They responded to several en-
cores. Miss Allen was the most nota-
BILE of the holdOVers. Cliff Jordan's S
monologue is changed from last week
He has a talking song that is new
and gets the laughs. His turn is one
of the cleverest that has been seen at
the Orpheum this season. The Damn
Brothers are the other holdovers. The
pictures conclude the bill

ATTORNEYS AVOID DELAY
Crown Citys Representatives File
Sweeping Denial of Edison Conn
panys Charges

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, June 1S.-The citys
legal representatives in the Edison in
junction case filed their answer in the
superior court today. No demurrer was
entered, as had been expected, the
attorneys contenting themselves with
fling a specific denial of every charge
made by the Edison company. 1t is not
expected that the case will be dismissed
on this reply, but it is filed with the
purpose of bringing the suit to some
conclusion as soon as possible.
While the object of the Edison people
is presumed to be delay, the object of
the city is to bring the suit to trial as
soon as possible. Any effort to amend
the complaint on the part of the Ed-
son company will be fought by the city.
II no amendment is allowed the case
will go speedily to trial on its merits.
There is movement on foot to per-
suade the city administration to ignore
the suit brought by the Edison people
by calling another election on the same
question, an election which shall not be
open to the alleged faults cited by the
complaining company.
1t is believed that the people of the
city are in a frame of mind now with
reference to the Edison people as would
guarantee practically unanimous vote
for the proposed plant.

dent Mrs. P. G. Hubert.

Mrs. Hubert secured the laurels.
An elaborate program, under the
name of "The Long, Long Ago." was
given by the Ebell club yesterday af..
ternoon.
Dances Most Gracefully
One of the most interesting numbers
was the Highland Fling danced by
grace and with such easy movements
that she could easily have been mis-
taken for an inhabitant of old Scot
land. All lands were represented
Mrs. Baumgardt rendered two German
songs, ode Lorelei'' and Die Heiderose-
lein." Mrs. Katherine Kimball Forest
and Mrs Mary J. Shallert gave an
Italian duet, "See the Pale Moon; Miss
Maude Rees Davis sang two French
songs, '"The Summer and "The Last
Rose of Summer; two little Spanish
children gave some Spanish songs and
dances which were much appreciated
by all; Mrs. Stern, accompanied by the
piano, gave delightful recitation of
the money Musk" while double trio

mayer Mrs M. A. Welch, Mrs. Kath-
arine Kimball Forest, Mrs. Requa and

dearing Young Charms" a beautiful
Irish song, was given by Mrs. Banks;
Mrs. M. A. Welsh. Mrs. Katharine
Kimball Forest. Mrs. Requa and Mrs.
Mary ]. Shallert sang the blue Bells
of Scotland" AS a finale Mrs. Welsh
sang the "Star Spangled Banner" and
when the members of the club Joined
in the chorus and waved tiny Amer
lean flags, 1t made one of the prettiest
features of the afternoon.
