lNCENDIARIES VISIT CAFE
Attempt to Burn Delaware Restaurant
Frustrated by Prompt Action
Of Eiremen

Fire of incendiary origin was report
ed in the rear of the Delaware cafe
at 532 South Broadway, by Warren, one
of the proprietors, shortly before $50
o'clock last evening. Prompt action
by the fire department resulted in eX-
tinguishing the blaze before much
damage was DONE
About three weeks ago an incendiary
fire was discovered before it gained
any Roadway in the same part of the
restaurant. 1t is now believed by the
owners and the police that an attempt
is being made to destroy the restaur-
ant by enemies of the proprietors No
light can be shed ON the identity of the
incendiaries by the owners of the cafe.
While Warren was standing in the
front of the restaurant last evening,
soon after closing, his attention was
attracted by the smell OF burning
wood. He thought nothing of the af-
fair, but supposed that something was
burning in the kitchen. Within few
minutes wild cries from pedestrians on
Broadway attracted his attention.
Warren notified the fire department
and then began an Investigation. He
found Il closet in the rear. near the
roof, in flames and the blaze was lap
ping the roof. 1t is the idea of the
officers that Investigated the affair
that the incendiarles crawled along the
roof and set the fire from the outside.

BURBANK COMEDY
IS WELL CAST
PLAYERS ARE EXCELLENT IN
WHOLESOME ROLES
Actress New to Stock Work in Los
Angeles Makes Favorable I'm.
preston on Her First
Appearance

Scheming villains transformed to
most benifcent personages, and an
ambitious wife boring her North Car
olina bred husband to death with the
pomp and vanities of Partisan So
ciety, are the features Of "Esmeralda,"
which opened at the Burbank yester-
day afternoon.
Wholesome home folks are the chief
actors in the comedy and although the
mountaineer lover of the North Caro-
lima heroine was for a time separated
from his true love, everything turns
out happily as it should in a we'll
regulated comedy and the curtain drops
on the final scene with the reunited
pair in each others arms.
one of the startling portions of the
play is the transformation of William
Desmond, as Dave Hardy, the noun
taineer lover of Blanche Hall as Es-
meralda Rogers, from a sleek, well
fed appearance in the first act, to
nothing short of emaciation in the Sec
ond act. The change Is explained in
the play by the assertion that he has
been following his love from North
Carolina to the wicked French metrop-
Oils and as he has run out of money,
he starves for a certain unmentionud
period
Desmond is thus given an oppor-
tunity to look pale and interesting
and he improves it to the utmost. His
Interpretation of the part in which he
is cast is really worthy of note and
the Characterization was marred by
none of the mannersms which he oc-
casionally affects.
Henry Stockbridge dscards for the
nonce the habiliments of a hobo, but
the exquisite humor OF his rendition
of Mr.. Eastbrook a man of leisure,
needs no outlandish garb to give it
point. Stockbridge in comedy parts
can always be relied upon to be funny,
but in the comicality of the man of
leisure he fairly exceeds himself.
Burton PIeases Audience
John w. Burton has another benev-
olent old man part and his portrayal
is also good. He accedes to the de-
mands of Phosa McAllster as his ter
magant of Il wife with such utter lack
of contention, that when he finally
makes stand in regard to the hap
piness of his little daughter he quite
brings down the house.
George Drew, played by II. G. CHM,
was the legitimate villain, but in the
last act he imparts to the hero the
knowledge that he, the hero, is
wealthy man, made so through the dis
covery of iron ore on his supposedly
worthless farm by the benificent
wretch, so no hard feelings are held
toward him by the audience.
Miss Leola Maye made her first ap-
pearance in stock in Los Angeles in
"Esmeralda," and her Interpretation of
the sister of the English artist was
most vivacious. From the work shown
by her yesterday it would seem that
she is a valuable acquisition to the
capable company at the Burbank.
To be strictly Just none of the cast
should be specially commented on for
the reason that they all, with no eX-
ception. are admirable in "Esmeralda."
Altogether "Esmeralda" seems well
suited to the company and it is one of
the most enjoyable comedies presented
at the Burbank this season.

MISSIONARY INSTITUTE
HOLDS FINAL MEETING
PURPOSES OF WORK PRESENTED
TO YOUNG PEOPLE
Leaders of the Movement Leave for
San Francisco and the North,
Where a Series Of Similar Meet
ings Will Be Held

The final mass meeting of the Young
Peoples Missionary institute was held
yesterday afternoon at the First Meth
odist church. DR.. j. +. Goucher pre-
sided and gave q short account of the
Institutes held. c. V. Vickrey spoke
of the Fundamental facts of the move
ment and Harry Wade Hicks spoke OF
the interdenominational side of the
" Work. DR.. Cronkhte made an inter-
esting address on the need of mission
aries i'm I<erea II. d. Soper spoke OF
the purposes of the Institutes.
John Willis Baer, secretary OF the
Presbyterian board OF Home missions,
made the address of the afternoon.
Speaking on the missionary spirit, he
said in part;
"rhe young peoples movement had
been founded on solid foundations by
the young people of the Christian En-
deavor, Epworth league, Baptist Young
Peoples union and the Lutheran
league, without which it could not have
reached it's present usefulness. 1t is
the young people who do things. The
Christian EndeaVor was a mighty rae
tor before the church; also the Ep-
worth league and other organizations.
"If there is a pessimist here he is
out of place. He sees nothing good in
man. the world or the church. He says
that things are going to the bow-wows.
| recently heard good definition OF a
pessimist-I will leave it for you to
Judge. A pessimist is Il large man with
a small breath, trying to blow out Il
candle that is not lighted.
Let us have a definite aim Have
one purpose and drive away at it un-
I'll you have accomplished something.
| remember seeing an advertisement
in IL New York paper advising hunters
not to scatter shot 1t stated that for
Il dollar the firm would tell the hunter
how he could accomplish the desired
end, and when the necessary money
was Forthcoming, sent back the word:
Use one shot That should be the
way with our work.
"'rhe missionary spirit should so fill
our lives that nothing could put it in
the background. 1t is the young peo-
pie who are to stand on the firing line
for Jesus Christ and win the world for
God. This missionary movement is
in every sense of the word an inter-
denominational one. If our missionary
meetings We're in the right spirit they
would be on fire for God and when a
meeting was advertised an ordinary
church would not accommodate the
people. All young peoples Christian
movements in the world owe their al
legiance to Jesus Christ,
LET God have possession of the in
dividual heart. There is no way you
will get such vast returns as from
what you put into the missionary field"
The executive and advisory commit
tees, with the leaders of the institute,
will take luncheon today at the Young
Mems Christian association. The mis-
sionary leaders will leave for San
Francisco to hold an institute, and
thence go to Portland and Seattle
and the eastern states.

BANKERS CHARY
OF STREET BONDS
IMPROVEMENTS MAY BE DE-
LAYED
Contractors Fear Difficulty in Getting
Cash for Services-AWait EVl-
dence of Authority of
Councimanlc Board

Although n number of ordinances OF
intention to improve various streets
have been advertised. bids have not
been coming in very freely during the
last week and 1t is probable that wheh
the council meets this morning there
will be little to refer to the coulell-
manic board of public works,
Two reasons are given for this. one
is that the street contractors have all
they can comfortably do now without
taking on any more contracts, ana the
other is the technical point inNclNed
over the board of public works.
1t is asserted that the various bond
buying companies look charity on the
cOuncilmanic board as not having the
proper authority under the law to order
work done and thus the bonds may be
invalidated. The contractors receive
hands for their work, which under the
VIooman act may not all be paid pc
fore the end of ten years, and to realize
on their contracts sell the bonds TO
various banking institutions at slight
discount.
Bankers Are In Doubt
These banking Institutions are not
falling over themselves to buy these
bonds until they know positively that
they are all right. The contractors are
afraid of finding themselves burdened
with bonds on which they cannot I'M
mediately realize and which may pos
slbly be declared invalid. This is prob
ably the principal reason for their
failure to submit bids.
Thus the refusal of the council to
take any action on the mayors board
Of public works may have the effect OF
delaying street improvements.
The contention Is raised that accord
ing to the charter amendment the eoun-
cilmanic boards OF works automatically
lost all control OF public improvements
at the beginning Of the year when the

IS BUTCHERY
EVER TO STOP2
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT DENOUN'
CED FOR ITS UTTER LAWLESS-
NESS AND CRUELTY.

ST. PETERSBURG, September A.
"When is all this butchery going to
end?" said General Kuzmin Karavaieff
one Of the leading liberals AID an eX-
professor of law at the military aca-
denny.
I'VE are told that the murders from
the right will not cease until they
cease on the left. The government has
found the existing laws, dictatorial or
dinances, martial law and military too
great restraint and leaps across these
barriers every step. 1t has put itself
on the same plane as the revolutionists
The government has borrowed from the
revolutionists their methods and sur
passed them Now the revolutionists
are borrowing from the government.
Formerly it was the ministers, rare
ly the governors, and scarcely ever the
subordinate officials, who were killed,
but now even policemen are slaughter
ed in droves. Formerly pains were
taken to avoid the death of accidental
victims, as in the case of Kalaieff, the
assassin of Grand Duke Sergius, but
now not a thought is given to this. Why
formerly only the principal authors of
terroristic acts were executed Now
no distinction is made between the pre-
parers and throwers of bombs and per-
sons merely engaged in revolutionary
agitation. How many have persisted in
the Caucasus, the Baltic provinces and
in Poland, without inquiry into the
graduation of guilt? Formerly there
were orderly courts to establish the

Tense nor appeals are allowed. Former

Their organization is too weak. Their
fighting corps is acting under the i'm
pulse of an epidemic of blood mania
The government must speak the word
THE government has an ample arse
nal of legal men for it's self-defense.
| There will only be a beginning of an
end to the slaughter when the govern
