INVITE TEDDY'S TERRORS
TO JOIN FLORAL PARADE
DIVISION MARsHALS WANT cow
BOYS IN LINE
CabeIIeros Suit Will Be Used for
Staff and Aids - Native Sons
Will Assist Daughters With
Float

Teddy's Terrors are to be invited to
Join in the floral parade and to be in
the cowboy division.
AT a meeting of the grand and di-
vision marshals last night the follow
ing resolution was adopted: That the
division marshal of the cowboy di-
vision request the grand marshal to
invite the individual members of Ted
dy's Terrors to participate in the floral
parade in the cowboy division, and
that the invitation to the individual
members be extended through the chief
buster, John F. Hughes, and that they
all come costumed as cowboys"
1t has now been decided that the
grand marshal, his staff and aids
shall be costumed in the cabelleros
suit, and that each division marshal
and his aids shall decide on the uni
form they will wear. A mounted aid
from the grand marshal's staff will be
assigned to each division and repre-
sent the grand marshal in the parade
1t is said that the native sons will
assist the native daughters financially
and otherwise in preparing a float or
tallyho to turn out in the parade
Flowers will also be furnished and it
is said this display will be magnif-
icent one.
Arab patrols have been given the
right of the line in the floral parade
and will turn out. This means at least
seventeen patrols and perhaps more.
The city officials are to be asked to
do no sprinkling on the streets to be
used by the parade, that is after day
light. 1t is suggested that they be
thoroughly cleaned at night and nc
water put on them after that.

HAZARD HINTS BLACKMAIL
Defense Finally Shows Its Hand
in the Rowland
Case

The defense began the introduction
of evidence yesterday in the case OF
Henry l.. Hazard, the real estate man,
charged with attacking Lulu Rowland
who was drowned in the wreck of the
ill-fated Valencia.
The trial has been going on in de-
partment one of the superior court and
the startling testimony of the drowned
girl was offered by means of the tran
script of the preliminary examination.
The general line of defense was an
attempt to prove that H. NJ. Rowland
and a lodging house keeper Mrs. Mary
Murphy, We're attempting to blackmai!
the defendant.
1t was alleged that Roy Hazard, who
also met death in the Valencia wreck,
was paying attentions to Mabel Row
land, sister of the alleged victim, and
was very friendly with Lulu.
During the morning the prosecution
brought out evidence tending to show
that Hazard rented rooms at 1919
Maple avenue and called there at var
ious times.
The testimony of Mrs. Murphy was
unshaken by ss-examination, and
her daughter, Lorraine r. Smith, cor
roborated the mother.
During the trial II. NJ. Rowland was
overcome with Weeping several times
but the defendant kept an lmpassive
countenance, except when reference
was made to his son Roy, drowned
with the Rowland girls.
The trial will be resumed today

POLICE ORDERED TO MAKE A
THOROUGH INQUIRY
While There Are Many Hieh=CIass

Criminals

Acting Chief of Police Paul Flamnler
was yesterday ordered by the police
commission to make a thorough investi-
CATION of all the pool and billiard halls.
This action was taken on the recon-
Inendation of Commissioners James and
Mason, who declared these places might
he running day and night, every day
in the week, without the knowledge of
the board
AS these places are supposed to keep
the same hours a saloons the COM
mission is anxious to find out if the
law governing them is being violated.
The police will make thorough in
vestigation of every billiard and pool
room in the city and give detailed
account of conditions to Acting Chief
Flammer.
1T is well known to u.s." said an Off
Ger last night, that thieves and petty
criminals hang out in some of the
places and younger boys learn a good
deal of wickedness in them"
While there are a number of high
class places in the city, against which
there has been no complaint, the police
say that others should be regulated
and the conduct of the proprietors
closely watched.

WOMAN BELIEVES SHE
is RAILWAY MAGNATE
MRS. MARY CRANDALL is DE-
CLARED INSANE
Under DeIusion She Is Heir to Hunt
inqton Fortune Patient Tries Re-
peatedly to Assume Control of
Electric System

Mrs. Mary r. Crandall divorced wife
of r. f. Crandall, a well known Los
Angeles merchant, was committed to
the insane asylum at Patton yesterday
by order of the insanity commission
i'm Judge Gibbs department of the
superior court.
Mrs Crandall was arrested for the
first time some months ago, when she
claimed to be the manager of the
Huntington system. At that time she
refused to leave the private office of
the railroad magnate, where she had
taken possession during his absence.
She ordered the men about and at last
became such a nuisance that Chief
Auble was sent for.
She was arrested and an insanity
complaint sworn out against her, but
during her stay at the county hOspi-
tai before her trial she became better
and after the eXanination the physi-
clans allowed her to go free on proba-
ton.
She went to her home in Long Beach,
but several weeks later she returned
to the Huntington building and she
was a constant visitor there until ar
rested on the later charge of insanity.
At her trial yesterday Mrs. Crandall
at first demanded Il jury trial, but
later said she was content with the
regular commission. She claimed to be
the daughter of Coils z. Huntington,
and the divorced wife of Henry e.
Huntington.
AS Mrs Crandall is wealthy in her
own right some arrangement may be
made whereby she can be sent to a
private Sanitarium.

MUSIC LOVERS
ARE DELIGHTED
ELLIS CLUB GIVES CAPITAL
CONCERT
Roland Paul and Mrs. Porterfied
Score Success--Others on Pro-
gram Please Large Audience
at Simpson

The Ellis club was again successful
in it's concert given last night at the
Simpson auditorium. The house was
filed with the music loving people of
the city.
j. B. Poulin, who is still the di-
rector, is a great credit to the club.
He not only conducts well but his
actions please the auditors and he has
not the eccentric and monotonous
actions which some of our directors
exhibit.
The work of the chorus was shown
at it's best and much improvement was
also manifest when the club made the
effective climaXes of the various num-
bers.
The first number was 1.-The Anvil"
by Gounod in which Mr.. Roland Paul
was the leading light. We have not
heard from Mr.. Paul for some time and
his appearance last night was both a
pleasure and an attraction.
Mrs. Lottie Buck Porterfield was the
soprano soloist of the occasion and her
voice was shown to the best advantage
in "Pleurez, mes yeuX" by Massenet
and the pretty little encore which fol-
lowed. She received much applause and
the large bouquets OF mowers present.
ed her were a good token of the appre-
citation of her merits
Mr. Howes was the baritone soloist
of the Thanksgiving" by 'Grieg. Mr..
Howes' voice is round and sonorous
while his dramatic effects were the
pleasure of all Mr.. Howes' voice not
only reaches every part of the audi
torium but touches the hearts of his
auditors as well.
THE Messe des Orphanistes" by
Gounod was the best number of the
chorus The shading was extremely
good and the voices in perfect unison
but there could be more imaginative
and effective infection of the meaning
of the Latin words.

Four Passengers Are Injured,
None Seriously

On the edge of the First street VIA
yesterday afternoon and four passen-
gers bear the marks of the collision.
They are grateful, as are the others
, aboard, that they Jared as we'll as they
did.
The viaduct bridges the Santa Fe and
Salt Lake tracks and had just been
sprinkled when the descending Los
Angeles car crashed into Euclid avenue
car No. 247. eastward bound, both of
! them under brake but slipping.
The rear motorman rang his bell vio-
| lently when he saw the inevitable aCci-
dent and the forward mOtOrman put on
the power to get out of the way. but
both failed to avert the smashup which
threw men and women off their seats
and made sad work of the car plat
forms.

G. Small and T.. c. McCOwn We're
bruised and scratched, others refusing
to give their names to the police.
Her First Mishap
Mrs. Laying, a woman past the me-
ridian of life, and who has never beer
sick a day and was never in an acci-
dent before, feels that she has a real
grievance against the companies.
while ] am grateful that ! escaped
am disappointed at the thought that
my record for good luck is broken
she said. 81 do not wish to boast, but
have been remarkably blessed in
health so far.
"I took a rear seat in order to es-
cape the draughts, and when the crash
came was hurled forward against the
seat ahead.
"Our car was going down hill anG
bumped into a car that had just made q
stop at the foot of the viaduct. 1 pre-.
sumo the slippery rails made the brakes
useless, although it was not so severe
a shock as if the cars had been goine
with power turned on
Mrs. Laying very pluckily refused
medical aid near the scene of the
smashup, but on reaching home SEM

who bound up the cuts, stopped the
flow of blood above the eye and con-
graduated her on her GOODNESS.
Passengers suggest that the trolley
foremen be instructed to caution theil
motormen to see that cars be operated
under tight brakes on viaducts such as

cuIprlts' Cases Today

Little Albert Wilson, years of age,
lies at his home, 1898 West Seventh
street, recovering from convulsions
caused by the brutal sport of older
boys, who enticed the little fellow into
the Cal Foy residence al West Sew
frightened him into spasms by their
ghoullsh tricks.
The house is commonly reputed to
be haunted and has been tenantless

knowing that Albert was somewhat
timid. some older boys. ranging from
IA to II years of age, caught the lad,
blindfolded him and led him into the
cellar of the house and. removing the
bandage. left him to his fate With
the stories of the house fresh in his
memory, the little fellow cried out in
fear, stumbling against cobwebbed
boxes and slipping upon the damp
floor
Will Summons Boys
He heard strange and uncanny
noises about him and ran back and
forth. vainly trying to escape from
what was to him Il place of horror.
Finally he managed to grope his way
into a room dimly lighted by tiltering
rays from the outside and sank upon
the floor in a spasm.
Some of the boys became frightened
at their cruel sport and assisted AL
bert to his home.
He was put in bed and he rolled and
tossed i'm deirium until it was feared
that he would lose his reason.
A physician was summoned. who
administered sedatives and watched
by the bedside.
Yesterday the boy was better, but
still weak and nervous.
Mrs. Phoebe j. Wilson, mother of
the boy, called upon Assistant City
Prosecutor Eddy yesterday and told
her story.
Several of the lads have been notified
to appear today in the office of the
city prosecutor. and, while no criminal
complaint is likely to be issued those
responsible for the brutality practlced
will be given a severe lecture and it
may be taken up further at session
of the Juvenile court.
A prominent physician said last night
that such a prank might have caused
insanity, and in his own practice he
knew of a case where little girl was
literally frightened to death.

"A ST. LOUIS NEWSPAPER MAN
VISITS THIS CITY
Only the Mountains on One Side and

Growth of Southern California
Metropolis in Check

Casper S. Yost. assistant editor of the
St Louis Globe-Democrat, is visiting
relatives in this city. After five days
soiourn in Los Angeles, seeing all its
points of interest as only a newspaper
man can see them, Mr. Yost said last
night:
1T is useless to say that Los Angeles
is a great city. Everybody knows it
and I imagine the people of this place
must be somewhat surfetted with praise
| of their climate. for which they are not
responsible. and their progressiveness,
for which they are.
when nature is so generous with
her gifts it is hard to understand how
man can help but do his best to meet
her half way. yet it is the rule that
when providence is improvident we are
like the spoiled sons of rich fathers
who suuander their inheritance to no
purpose.
The people of Los Angeles therefore
! deserve more credit than is usually
given to them for the manner in which
| they have made the best possible use
of their fortune.
Il thought | knew something about
| Southern California and Los Angeles,
I and | did but L find that what l didn't
| know was about % per cent of the
| total
Il have met with surprise every time
| turned a corner il this wonderful
city, but nothing, not even the climate,
has impressed me half so much as the
inhabitants thereof.
I'VE think we are hustlers on the
other side of the range, but most of us
can learn something in the art of

corner, as you choose.
Phones at Meal Time
For instance, I took dinner the other
evening in one of your beautiful
restaurants. At the table next to me
a man ordered an elaborate repast and
a telephone. The waiter brought the
| phone, pushed the end of the wire in
! the WALL and the guest carried on a
lang range conversation with somebody
| while he ate his dinner.
1T seems to me that's crowding
| things a little, but it illustrates the
| spirit that is manifested here on every
| hand, and with such a spirit in such
! land everything is possible,
IT'S probably a good thing you have
| the sea on one side of you and the
mountains on the other for if you
were not somehow held in check the
| Lord only knows where you would
spread to.
"As it is, I can see no reason why
| Los Angeles should not continue her
present rate of growth for a long time
to come.
"Nearly everybody the other side OF
the mountains wants to come here, and

| lions of them are coming.

making an average cut of 17k feet, and
a cut of 81 feet at the deepest point.
Mr.. Treichler suggested that the cut
might be made by a hydraulic system,
including the construction OF a big
pipe down Thirty>nfth street to the
river He estimated that the earth
could be removed by this method at a
cost of IL cents a yard, while the cost
by means of wagons would probably be
so cents yard. Alderman Anderson
favored the plan of making a uniform
cut, and suggested that the city en-
gineer prepare estimates of the addi-
tiDnal cost of such a cut, and also of
the boulevard on the avenue from
Thirty-fifth street to Forty-siXth street.
Acting on this suggestion. the board
adopted a resolution that 1t meet again
next Thursday evening for the pur-
pose of hearing the property owners.
taxpayers, and citizens, and the park
board, on the proposed work. At that
time estimates on the additional cost
of the Improvement along this line will
be presented, and the property owners
heard on the question of expense. The
question of damages to the property
along the proposed eat will also be
discussed.
Asphalt is the favored material to
be used in the Improvement.

PLANS FOR A BOULEVARD
This and Forty-Fifth Street Sewer Dis
cussed in Local Board Meet
ing.

The hearing of the board of local
improvements this morning at the city
hall, on the two proposed improve
ments, the paving of Seventh avenue
from Thirtieth street to Forty-sixth
street and Thirty eiahth street from
Fifth to Seventh avenues, and the lay
ing of a sewer and storm drain on For
ty-fifth street between the railway
tracks and the river, attracted large
number of the property owners inter
ested. and both propositions were thor
oughly discussed. The question OF lay
ing the sewer was first taken up, and
on the representation of the property
owners, that the only condition on
which the objections to the sewer Will
be withdrawn is that water mains be
laid at the same time, the board sus-
gested that a petition for water service
be drawn up and presented, in order
that it could come before the council
for action at the same time. The petl-
| ton was drawn up at once, and WITH
this understanding, the board passed a
resolution that ii recommend the I'M
provement, and the city attorney be In
structed to draw up an ordinance 10
cover the work The proposed drain
will extend from the south line of the
railway tracks to the river. A 24-inch
line will be laid The estimated cost
of the drain is s5,715.
| Estimates ON Paving.
| The estimates ON the Seventh avenue
and Thirty-eighth street paving, total
ing S94, 1860, were presented, and the
proposed improvement explained by
lefty Engineer Wallace Treichler. One
of the first questions which came up
| for discussion was as to the boulevard
lof the avenue between Thirty fifth and
i Forty-sixth streets. o. u. Cervln was
lheard. and he urged that the opportunl'
lty to beautify the main drive between
Rock Island and Moline be taken adj
vantage of at once. Mr.. Dixon, the
Landscape artist now at work in Mo-
line, was present, and discussed the
possibility of a boulevard on the street
lin connection with the proposed paw
ling. He urged that this be done, and
pointed out that such a step could be
taken with much less expense now than
at a later time. Hon. William Jackson
of the park board spoke in favor OF
identifying the drive, and called atten
ton to the fact that the expense OF the
/ boulevard on the avenue could be JUS
Titled by the addition to the value oil
abutting property, and the general ben
eft to the city. 1t was suggested thai
the street car lines be located In Tho
center of the boulevard, but this wa:
lobjected to by Alderman Anderson, OF
the ground that by placing the tracks
in the boulevard the beauty would b'
llessened, and that such action woui'
relieve the company of responsibiht.
