SPLENDID CAST


FOR PRESENTATION.
The cast presenting ARIZONA" at the
Opera House Saturday night was per
haps the best balanced seen with any
company here in a good while. The
play is a pretty love story of the army
in Arizona, and the players seem to
have been selected especially for the
parts assigned them. This is notably
true as to Joseph Green as Henry Can,
by" Clarence Heritage as Colonel
Bonham," Miss Powell as "Estrella
Bonham," Miss Bradley as Bonita"
Thomas Hearn as Sergeant Kellar"
and Escamelio Fernandez as the Mex
lean, TONY Mostano." No American
could have so well acted the part of an
ardent young Mexican as a Mexican
himself, even his profanity being of the
classical kind, fitting in just where it
belonged. 1t was not offensive-simply
perfectly natural. The story was well
told, and to the entire satisfaction of
the audience. Not a member of the
company but deserves especial praise.

dipping 10000 sheep. The cattle in
that section of the county will also
be dipped in the two watts.

CHECK HAY AND LIME NOW
Southern Pacific Officials Force Un-
loading of Cars at Bay City

SAN FRANCISCO. July 26.-The pol
icy of the officials of the Southern Pa
cific of placing an embargo on certain
kinds of freight, in order to relieve the
situation in the yards here, was fol-
lowed out more fully today when an
embargo was placed on all hay and
lime on the way to the city.
Orders have now been issued under
the direction of Julius Kruttschnitt
who is looking after the situation, to
admit no more lumber lime or hay
into the city, and agents are instructed
not to accept any such shipments for
the city.
The next embargo will be placed on
structural steel, and all goods which
are proving difficult to get freight cars
for will be put on the black list.
The result of the embargo on lumber,
it is hoped by the officials, will be-
come evident in a short time. The lum-
Der supply, on account of the limited
amount that is being brought into port
by water, is becoming short. There
are about 1000 cars of lumber standing
on the tracks of the Southern Pacific
waiting to be unloaded

News

Hundreds of men and teams are re-
constructing and relaying the strip of
track on the Pacific Electric system
between Eastlake park and Oneonta
park-a time and current saving pro-
ject on a large scale.
The Huntington interests have de-
vised a newer routing for cars.
When the new routing is completed
the Short line will be a busy road. At
present there are daily 140 cars each
way over the stretch of road between
Alhambra junction and the city.
Eventually the cars of the Mt. Lowe
line Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Ma
DIRE, Monrovia, Covina, San Gabriel and
Alhambra lines will pass over the road.
The Mt. Lowe and Altadena cars will
effect a considerable saving on running
time.
About half of the work has been done
and the two new tracks are in place.
At Bairds the grade is being raised
several feet and two extra tracks are
being laid. Beyond the station, where
the road skirts the base of a hill, 10
foot cut is being made. This is for a
double purpose. 1t lowers the grade,
making the road more level, saving
power and permitting greater speed,
and it admits overhead passing of the
Pasadena boulevard, which will be
brought over the tracks near this point
by means of a concrete bridge.
Thousands of cubic yards of earth
are being moved daily in the undertake
ing, while the track laying and electric
forces crowd closely on the graders.
1t is hoped to have a four-track line
from the city limits to Oneonta park
before the tourist rush sets in.

LIGHT SENTENCE GIVEN
YOUTHFUL EMBEZZlER
ROBERT MCCALL TO SERVE FOUR
MONTHS IN JAIL
Leniency Shown Former Assistant
Treasurer of Grand Opera House,
Whose Purchases of Presents for
Young Wife Caused Downfall

Four months Imprisonment in the
county Jail was the sentence meteu
out yesterday to Robert Mccall, for
mer assistant treasurer of the Granu
opera house, whose hopes and ampl-
tions were shattered in single mo-
ment when he looked too long at a stray
hundred dollar bill belonging to the
company.
To Judge Smith the young man SAID
he was willing to pleaed guilty TO
charge of petit embezzlement' Then
several people interceded for mccall
and the court decided to allow him an
other chance, so the light sentence OF
four months was handed down.
Mccall lives in Euclid Heights, ana
until his unfortunate venture at the
Grand opera house he had porne
spotless reputation.
A short time ago he married, ana ms
marriage, according to statements or
his friends, originally was the cause
of his downfall, for he was continually
buying something for his wife.
Then came the shortage at the Grand
opera house and Mccall was arrested.
About that time Mrs. Mccall disap-
peared, but those who know stated she
had simply made a trip to San Fran
cisco, there to confide her troubles to
some of her friends.
Recently she returned and Mccall is
preparing to spend his short time In
Jail as cheerfully as possible In the hope
of soon being able to reJoin his wife and
start life over again.

DEMISE DELAYS
RISE Of CURTAIN
STAGE MANAGER ENGLANDER
FALLS DEAD
Audience at Fischer's Theater Una-
ware of Tragedy Behind Foot
lights-Widow and Daugh-
ter Not Notified

Ed Highlander, stage manager at
Fischer's theater, dropped dead last
night a few minutes before time for the
curtain to rise for the first performance.
His death is attributed to heart dis
ease.
Mr.. Englander had been complaining
about his heart a great deal of late.
Last night he went to work as usual
and was chatting and laughing with
some of the employees when he sudden
ly fell to the floor.
AS Mr.. Englanders wife and daugh-
ter are also said to be afflicted with
heart trouble it was not thought wise
to tell them of the demise last night
for fear that the sudden shock might
cause them serious injury.
Mr.. Englander was about GO years OF
age. He lived at 156 West Sixteenth
street. He has been with the theater
company since it opened May Z, 1905.
The play at the theater was delayed
about fifteen minutes. The audience
sat through the performance unaware
that death had visited the flies
The body was taken to Garrett &
Co.'S undertaking parlors, where an in
quest will probably be held today.

WACO BECOMES A CENTER
Santa Fe and Katy Send Lines In
That Direction

Waco, Tex, expects to shortly be-
come one of the railroad centers of the
Lone Star state.
The Business Mems club of that city
has been advised that the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas is to be extended from
Trinity through Waco, on to Hamilton
and the west. II will be the great
lumber route from eastern Texas to
the plains of the panhandle and New
Mexico.
The Santa Fe is expected there to
run a trunk line from New Orleans and
Galveston, through Waco, to San
Francisco. 1t is to use the Texas
Central, and at first the San Antonio
e. Aransas Pass from Waco to Gray
son.
Waco expects to have the main Texns
shops and hospital, and be one of the
important centers in Texas for the
Santa Fe system.
A road is to be built to Strawn,
which will connect the Rock Island
system with the San Antonio &
Arkansas Pass, now dominated by B. F.
Yoakum.
The two systems will be under one
management, giving Waco another
trunk line from deep water to Chicago
and St Louis.

SAN FRANCISCO July 26.-The de
mand for labor in California promise,
to exceed the supply for many months
to come.
The railroads want large numbe
of labortrs for prospective work anC
that under way. The Southern Pacific
needs 5000 men, the Western Pacific

cisco 5000, the outside electric lines

quin and Sacramento valleys ant
Southern California want 1000. The

The reconstruction of San Francisco
the very large railway extensions and
improvements, the unusually heavy
crops and development work in national
and local irrigation projects and in
mountain power plants have worked to-
gether to create a tremendous demand
Vineyardists Want Help
The vineyardists of the San joaquin
valley, alarmed at the harvest outlook,
have appointed committees to canvass
all available fields for help. There are
S5O,OOO tons of grapes to be gathered,
and by piece work good workmen at
wages offered will make from 1925 to
$3.50 per day. The beet crops along the
coast line and in Southern California
are very heavy and the prune crop in
the Santa Clara valley is double that
of last year. The greatly increased de-
mand for California lumber, both in the
east and locally, causing mills to run
night and day, has doubled the demand
for millmen.
thorough canvass by a local COM
mittee in San Francisco shows that
subcontractors in building trades are
having either to throw up contracts or
secure postponements because of scar
city of workmen. The building trades
council advise that there is great
shortage of men in the building trades
There is a strong demand for 10000
houses to be built in San Francisco i'm
mediately, but the artisans necessary
to do the work are not here. 1t is esti-
mated that nearly one-half of a billion
dollars is to be spent in reconstructing
San Francisco in the next five years.
Work for Thousands
This work is already being delayed
on account of actual and prospective
lack of labor. Fifteen thousand more
men can find ready employment in re
work at good wages.
A minimum wage for laborers on rail-
road work and in warehouses in San
Francisco is now 1925 per day. Brick
layers are receiving 81 and SS for an
eight-hour day, with minimum wage of

RAILROADS SEEK REDUCTIONS
Representative Make Appeals Before
State Equalization Board

By Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, July 26.-The West
ern Pacific Railroad company made its
first appearance before the state board
of equalization today in relation to the
old Alameda & San Joaquin road now
owned by it. The railroad was repre-
sented by H. H. Griffiths and j. l..
Smith, the latter being the tax agent
of the new transcontinental line.
In the report presented to the board
the Western Pacific claims but 1898
mil of single track, valued at $3.50 900.

663; operating expenses, $64,423, leaving
a net income of $31,240.
The interest on the funded debt
amounts to $4,000, and betterments and
additionals had cost $75S.5S, leaving a
deficit from the years operations of
$4,619.32.
The first question that came up was
the proposition of the state tax COM
mission to charge all public corpora
tons from to per cent on their gross
earnings as state tax. Griffiths held
that it would work hardship on new
lines coming into the state, as such
lines would be obliged to expend vast
sums in perfecting their construction
and would be greatly handicapped in
consequence in competing with old es
tablished roads.
The Western Pacific representatives,
while not asking for any reduction, re-
quested to be let alone this year.

The interest on the funded debt
amounted to $4,000, leaving a surplus
of $9071. Mr.. Bliss stated that the road
had showed an increase of business
over the previous year.
Maj P.J. Harvey represented the Boca
& Loyalton road. This road has forty
four miles of single track valued at
$74,s00. The rolling stock is valued at
$13,575. The gross earnings were $202,
624. The operating expenses were $119,-
57S. leaving a net income of $91 046
The interest on current liabilities
amounted TO $40,5L0, and the better
ments and additions to $5916, leaving a
surplus of $44,627.
The Sierra railway of California was
represented by S. D. Freshman. This
road has S4.46 miles of single track
valued at 1903, 100. It's gross earnings
amount to $364,7 and its operating
expenses to $232, 104. leaving a net in
come of $132, 500. The interest on the
funded debt amounted to $106,225 inter
est on current liabilities to S6373 and
betterments and additions to $41,179
