In Saving Japanese Boarding House
From Destruction Rescuers Gain
Valuable Knowledge Concern
Ing Gangs Operations

Within the next twenty-four hours
the incendiaries that have been in
Testing Los Angeles may be i'll the
tolls of the city Jail.
BY the timely discovery of fire in
his Bedroom at Sis o'clock last even
ing, r. Munakawi not only saved the
japanese boarding house at APO Wall
street, where he rooms, from destruc-
ton but placed the police close to the
heels of at least one gang of incen-
diaries.
Before firing the house the pyro-
maniacs ransacked the house, Ihey
moved all trunks from the rooms onto
the rear porch and with broken nam
mer they rifled them. Only money and
jewery was stolen from the trunks
and the bureau drawers.
In all it is estimated that about $3.50
in money and valuables was taken.
Munkawai entered the house short
Nv after o'clock. He had been at
work since early in the morning Inc
minute that he stepped within the nan
he caught the slight odor of smoke
Rushing into his room he found 1t in
flames.
The boy extinguished the fire in me
mattress and the fixtures He then
rushed to other parts of the house to
see if there was any fire there. HIS
next act was to notify the police. De-
tectives Hawley and Mckenzie We're
detailed. They found that the work
was that of experts who had plenty
of time in which to work.
After carrying the luggage of the.
orientals to the rear porch, the in
cendiaries rummaged all carefully.
Their next act was to arrange can
die so that it would burn to a string
and then set fire to the excelsior stuff
fling in the bed.
So carefully was the work done that
but little clew to the identity of the
guilty parties was obtained. The fire
of Tuesday night and the fires of the
three weeks previous are now thought
to have been set by means of the can
die trick. This leaves no cleWs.
The police have been somewhat puz-
zled as to how the fires We're set, but
now it is evident that candles have
been used.
Those that suffered in the fire last
evening were: S Iskakawa, M. Ma
magi, S. Kusanagi, S. Ichikawa, N.

RIGHT NOURISHMENT.

We think of nourishment
as food-meats, soups, vege-
tables, etc., but that's only half.
It's not the food alone that
counts but the good that we
get from food that furnishes
nourishment. A pound of
steak is of less value to a
weak stomach than a crust of
bread is to a strong digestion.
But weak stomachs can be
made strong. Begin by eat
ing less; have regular hours
for meals; avoid fancy things
and about a half hour after
eating take tablespoonful Of
SCOTS Emulsion. It's a fact
Of medical history that people
have lived on not much else
but SCOTS Emulsion for a
long time-not only lived but
gained flesh and recovered
their strength and health.
From the pure Norwegian
cod liver oil to the last drop
Of glycerine, SCOTS Emulsion
contains just the strength
giving and health-building
elements needed for low vital
ity, weak digestion and poorly
nourished bodies.

RUNS AUTO INTO THE CURB
John Olson Smashes His Machine to
Avoid Running Down News
boy on Broadway

To avoid running down Walter
Lockwood,a little neWsboy, yesterday
afternoon, John Olson, owner and
driver of a big White steamer No
1892, ran his machine into the curb on
Broadway between Sixth and Seventh
streets, thus breaking the front axle
of the auto and running the engine.
The boy, after leaving the office of
a newspaper with his load of papers
started across the street utterly obliv-
ious of the approach of the silent ma
chine. Although Olson sounded the
horn, it was too late to avoid a COL
lision with the youngster except by
running into the curb. This he did,
and according to the statement of by
ISLANDERS, undoubtedly saved the bows
life, for the car was running at a fair
rate of speed

clapped her hand over her mouth and
look of CONSERVATION that was al
most tragic came into her face. There
was not q sound on the stage for a
minute, then the prop. boy-blessed be
prop. boys-laughed.
That relieved the situation and 1.-THE
Admirable Crichton" was saved.
Mr.. Barnum had been just in time:
the last line of the play, or the tag, -
as it is known to the actor, was not
repeated.
1t is a hard and fast rule at the Be-
1asco theater that the last line shall
never be said until the night of the
first performance. If Miss Lawton had
really finished the sentence 1 believe
that, without daubt the play would
have been a failure, for the supersti-
ton has gained such a hold on the
members of the company they would
not have been able to forget it long
enough to learn their parts.
Oh, no, they are not superstitious!
The next half hour was spent in dis
cussing superstitions and everyone did
his best to convince everyone else that
he was not superstitious.

why. 1 think it is narrow minded
to be superstitious, said Joseph CAL
braith. Mr.. Galbraith's broad chest
e&panded-well, 1 should not like to
say just how many extra inches but
it was enough to prove that he is not
anyway. Then Mr.. Gall
braith told story which he swears is
true.

BY BESSIE BEATTY.

Oh, no; Los Angeles stock actors
are not superstitious; not a bit.
That is what they all say, but l
shudder to think what would become of
them under cross examination in court:
Not that the matinee favorites would
swerve one iota from the truth-tar
be it from me to even suggest such a
thing. They said it in sober earnest
and, what's more, they believe it.
Since the earliest days of the stage
it has been a well known fact that
there is no class of English speaking
people who have so firm belief in
omens. Besides believing in most of
the prevailing suserstitions, the people
of the theater have many all their own.
There is hardly anything that occurs
in the actors world that has not some
superstitiQus meaning attached to IT.

task of making and unmaking heroes,

Next Sunday

Rev. Lindley Wells, superintendent of
evangelistic work in the Friends
church, will preach Sunday at the
church at the corner of Third street
and Fremont avenue. No definite
action has been taken regarding a per-
manent pastor and the matter may not
be decided until the yearly meeting in
June.
Rev. Levi D. Barr, the former pastor,
returned to Los Angeles from Orange
yesterday. He closed a series of evan
gelistic meetings there covering two
weeks, during which fifty new members
were taken into the church. After a
rest he will resume his evangelstic

Behold an actual novelty in shirt

taken unto itself a little ripping pep

little things as that I am not going

braith.
Turn Tables on Dempster
"Cheer up, old chap, we won't say
another word" put in Dempster.
Then the tables were turned on him.
In self defense Mr.. Dempster had to
own up that he was superstitious. lie
did it reluctantly and stopped to ar
range one of his famous broad ties. 1t
was an unusually large one, so it gave
him plenty of time to think.
"There is that old superstition about
an umbrella" said he. Il never open
an umbrella in the house and L would
not dream of doing it in the theater,
but that is more because it makes you
feel queer. 1t is so out of place"
Mr.. Dempster made the distinction
but he did not stop to explain the diff
ference. Feeling queer and being
superstitious are undoubtedly two very
distinct sensations. 1t is to be hoped
they are different.
BY this time Miss Lawton had suffi-
GENTLY recovered from her terrible
shock to talk of superstitions, and,
wonder of wonders, Miss Lawton was
convinceable.

Miss Lawton's first sentence. She was
already beginning to melt and the other
