J. ]. Helm, the well known traction
magnate Of Kansas City who is at
present guest at the Hotel Alexandria,
Is profuse in his praise Of Los Angeles
and his predictions for its future. In
his frankly expressed opinion there is
no city in the world with the attrac-
tions equal to those Of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Helm does not limit to that but
says Los Angeles will forge ahead to
greatness that never has been edualled
and never will be. It Is the one city
in the entire world that he considers to
be the duintessence of attractiveness for
man in all walks of life.
There Is positively no city In the
United States or in the world equal to
Los Angeles" said Mr.. Helm last night
at the Alexandria. You have every
thing here that promotes the desire to
live Travel where you may in the
United States, in Europe or the Orient,
one cannot find city or locality with
the air., surroundings or wealth, none
tary or artificial, that abound in and
about Los Angeles.
Ahead of Other Cities
"The conditions in Los Angeles are so
much beyond those in other cities that
there Is no comparison between them.
Los Angeles is the embodiment of all
that is attractive, charming and beau
tiful; the commingling of realities of
every desire that the most fastidious
may have to bring them to this city and
keep them here as permanent citizens.
Personally, l am most interested in
your street car service. There is abb
solutely nothing in the world that COM
pares to it, The rolling stock, the SER
vice and the accommodations are far
beyond anything ever achieved in any
other city in the world. Next in rank
to the Los Angeles railway service I
consider Berlin, Germany. Berlin does
not compare with Los Angeles.
There is but one feature to your
street car service here that can be
criticized. 1t is the absence of owl
cars. When I was informed that Los
Angeles did not have the owl street car
service l was more than surprised. /
had no idea that a city like Los Angeles
was without this important feature of
municipal accommodations. 1t is the
one blot upon this city.
Favors Owl Cars
"There is absolutely no reason for
this imposition on the residents of Los
Angeles by the railroad companies. 1t
is absolutely folly to think that 1t
would mean a loss financially to the
railroad companies. The people are
waiting for such an organization and
will take advantage of it the moment II
is installed.
"The owl cars is like every other
municipal feature. The public must be
made acquainted withit. There can be
no arguing why owl cars should not be
installed in Los Angeles. The history
of every city where owl cars are run is
that as soon as they were put on the
public began to take advantage of them
as soon as the opportunity was given
them.

BOY RIDES ON ENGINE PILOT
CrawIs Up Into the Cab as the Train
Rushes On-Trip to See
the World
Special 10 The Herald.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 14-While
James Hugo, engineer, and A. c. Stein
metz, fireman, were bringing the Big
Four fast train from Cleveland, Hugo
thought he saw something on the pilot
of the engine as he was passing New
London.
The train makes no stop there and
the schedule time in that section of
the run Is fifty miles an hour. Peer
ing through the darkness to see what
it was, the men in the cab were
astounded to see a small boy Chamber
up from the pilot, over the steam chest
to the running board, and holding
weakly to the hand rail, shuttle to-
ward the cab. So lottery were the
boys motions and so fast the speed of
the train that they expected to see him
dashed to death momentarily.
AS he neared the cab, Fireman Stein
metz reached out and drew the little
fellow in. He had crawled upon the
pilot at Wellington, and riding in the
cold night air without wraps had
chilled him until he was numb. He
proved to be Abel Miller, 10 years old.
who had taken that method of getting
away to see the world. He was re-
turned to his home by the next train,

BELASCO OFFERS
'AREYOU A MASON
HIT SCORED BY GEO. BARN JIM,
ACTOR SHRINER
Interpretation of Jovia Old Man,
Burdened With Memories of
Past, Clever Bit
of Work
Are you a Mason?

If you are not it is because you did
not go to the Belasco last evening to
see the only Los Angeles actor Shriner
unfold the wonders of the, Mystic
Shrine, or, perhaps you are not a Moson
because you are a woman.
Some members of the fair sex never
really knew how much they have
missed until last night, when George
Barnum and others of the Belasco stock
company undertook to show them.
Pass words innumerable, high signs
indescribable and "stunts" galore were
exchanged on the Belasco stage, and
even the Masons in the audience learned
some things about Masonry which they
never knew before.
Mr.. Barnum has recently gone
through the Shrine, therefore he is a
qualified teacher, and besides he is an
actor-one of the few actors in Los An
geles.
Some of the men who have gazed
with longing eyes toward the lodge and
have at the same time heard the COM
pelling tones of wife's voice denounc-
ing lodges in' general, would do well to
take their wives to see the Belasco
production of Are You a Mason ?" All
the women in that piece have a sur
prislngly good opinion of Masonry.
The scene in which each of the sup
posed Masons has to confess to the
other that he is only a counterfeit, is
a pitiful one indeed, but for the wo-
men there remains only bliss for ig-
norance is their lot
They never learn that when the sup
posed high master is comforting hin-
self intos omething very like a mule, lie
is not giving one of the most sacred
signs of Masonry.
George Barnum, of course, receives
the biggest share of the honor, not only
because of his acting, but because
George Barnum really does know the
innermost secrets. His Interpretation Of
the too jovial old man. overburdened
with memories OF past is a clever bit
of work to be classed with the striking
successes some of his other old men
have made.
Richard Vivian-no one but the pub
Usher of the program ever dareS to call
him anything but Dick-furnishes no
end of merriment in the double role OF
the dressmaker's assistant and the
stock broker. Mr. Vivian is a fetching
French maid. and his figure is quite
what 1t should be.
William Bernard, as one of the much
troubled "Masons," does good work, and
Robert Dempster has a part only a lit
tie less colorless than those which
have been the fate of this young actor
for several weeks. Mr.. Dempster gives
all that anyone could possibly expect
from the part.
Fanchon Everhart does a clever
Characterization as the prim wife of

Langham and Virginia Brissac make
the best of indifferent parts.

Berry made her stage debut last even

0RPHEUM HAS THE
FUNNIEST ACT OF
THE WHOLE SEASON

The funniest act that has been at the
Orpheum this season is that of Bailey.
Austin & Cosl6n their skit entitled
1.-Two American Beauties" 1t is a
scream from start to finish and the
audience is not given time to properly
laugh at one of their absurdities before
another equally amusing is sprung.
There is no part of the act that is
more amusing than any other part 1t
is all so supremely ridiculous that one
cannot help laughing all the time.
The bill at the Orpheum this week is
in general one of the best that has
been there recently. There is no over
supply of one kind of amusement such
as there was some weeks ago when
three one-act playlets were on the bill
at the same time.
Katherine Dahl, soprano, is one ofIthe
enjoyable features this week. Her
singing is much better than is usually
found in vaudeville. Her song of "If
Girl Like Me- was good enough as she
sang 1t without employing the rather
hackneyed method of person in one
Of the boxes singing back to her. but
the man who answered her sang very
we'll also, so 1t was perhaps excusable.
Elizabeth Murray sang some simple
songs and told few stories delight
fully, her Irish dialect being especially
good. Carson and Willard have a good
talking and singing act in their
"Frizzled i. Finance" Their dialogue
was much better than their singing,
however.
OF the holdovers Valerie Bergere with
her His Japanese Wife" is far the
best. The piece lacks somewhat of the
charm of the diminutive Carmen"
which was presented last week. but
Miss Bergere as the Japanese wife gave
a quaint and presumably correct pic
ture of transplanted Japanese woman.
Her dialect was delicious and her
makeup for the part was irreproach-
able.
Edwin Stevens changes his might
OUT considerably for the second week
of its presentations 1t is, on the whole.
better than last week. Eva Nudge
with her military act is the remaining
holdover. Her changes of costume are
exceedingly rapid. and each change
finds her more charming than before,
If that were possible Her highway
man song and accompanying business
are good. New motion pictures complete
bill that is much above the average
In excellence.

Boyle Helahts Popular

The popularity of Boyle Heights as
residence section is further attested
by the rapidity with which the hand
some lots in the acreage plated by M.
L. Wicks have been disposed of by
Mr.. Wicks, and the tract agent, Sam
j. Harris. The new addition is
bounded on the north by Stephenson
avenue, on the south by Venice

and on the east by Orme avenue, the
tract comprising four blocks. Seventh

of the lots between Stephenson avenue

home seekers and investors at from
$500 to $3.50, and those south of Sew
enth street are now on the market at
$500 to $500. They are going fast.
The Huntington electric cars will
be running on Stephenson avenue. out
across Euclid avenue and beyond the
city limits, during the month of June,

pany will lay gas mains to supply the
people of the entire Boyle Heights dis

made wonderfully rapid progress In
development during the past year.

TRENTON. May 14.-Mayor Fred
erick w. Gnichtel, who has been at the
head of the city government for four
months without once having had the
pleasure of tieing a nuptial knot, has
made a proposition to any of his
bachelor friends to perform ceremonies
for them free of costlif they will get up
sufficient courage to take the plunge.
The mayor has made his bachelor
friends sit up and rub their eyes by
declaring that their condition of sin
gle selfishness is deplorable and repre-
hensible, because there are so many
pretty and charming girls in Trenton
who are getting desirable partners for
life's journey from out-of-town.
In his generous offer the mayor says
he will furnish all the old shoes and
rice necessary to make each OF the
ceremonies as spectacular as possible. A
facetious friend said he would accept
on condition that trading stamps be
thrown in, but the mayor drew the line
at that.
