SEAMANS AND WHITE PART
IN H0TCHKISS MANAGEMENT
EXPENDITURES CAUSE FEELING
AND A SEPARATION
New Partner Takes Hold in Theater
Enterprise and "Trip to the
Catskills" Will Be Given on
Monday

AS result of disagreement between
Jeff White, manager of the Hotchkiss
and Ed Seamans, director of the same
theater, White is no longer connected
with the Spring street house.
According to the statement of EN-
ployes of the theater there has been
trouble since Seamans left, and it was
in response to an urgent telegram that
Seamans returned to Los Angeles from
Portland, where he had been with the
Olympia opera company, of which he
was manager.
The disagreement which led to the
withdrawal of White from the theater
was said to have been in the handling
of the funds.
Many expenditures which are said
to have been unnecessary were made
under the White regime. and the climax
came when Seamans returned and un-
covered the true state of affairs.
While the Kolb-D Dill-Dillon engage
ment has been a success in every par
ticular and the houses have been al
most capacity at every performance,
the money which came in through the
box office window was quickly spent.
During the time of adjustment to the
new conditions the Hotchkiss theater
will probably close but according to the
statement of Director Seamans when
the house is renovated and the finances
are again put on a business basis. the
theater Will again open with Kolb
and Dill.
Mr.. SeamanS announced that he has
new partner in the enterprise, and
although the name of the backer was
not given out yesterday it is believed
that this will be done today.
Beginning Monday week, the "Trip to
the Catskills," which was due to have
been put on tomorrow afternoon. will
be produced, and during the week the
theater will be dark.
The last performance of "Roly Poly
will be given Sunday evening.

LETS CONTRACT
FOR CRUDE OIL
LIGHTING COMPANIES MAKE
PARTIAL BIDS
Board of Public Works Still Believe
There Is a Combination of Pro-
ducers, but Makes Awards
Notwithstanding

Five bids for crude oil for fuel for the
city hall were received b. the board of
public works yesterday afternoon.
These bids ranged in price from 55 to
40 cents barrel. This is the first
break in prices that has occurred since
the board proposed buying $4,000 barrels
of oil for use on the streets when the
price jumped suddenly from "a cents a
barrel to 65 cents. Three bids for oil
for sprinkling We're received by the
board during the first part of the week
and all three bids were for 30 cents a
barrel.
The oil men Indignantly deny that
they have formed a combination to
compel the city to pay the price they
demand for oil, and yesterday they
pointed to the great discrepancy in the
bids submitted to substantiate their de-
nial. The board, however, is far from
being convinced on the strength of yes
terday's showing.
While the board entertains a doubt
as to a combination among the local
oil producers they have no doubt at all
concerning q combination among the
local electrical companies.
The three lighting companies doing
business in the city submitted bids to
the board yesterday for lighting Main
and Hill streets, and every bid received
=
Not only were the bids all alike but
each company bids only on one section.
Award Contracts Regardless
The contracts were awarded to all the
companies in spite of a lack of COM
petition.
The oil and lighting bids were as fol-
lows:
To furnish crude oil for the city hall:
| 7. F. Joyce proposed 56 cents per bar
| rel. C. C. Harris Oil company proposed
| 55 cents per barrel; C. f. Lapp pro-
| posed 60 cents per barrel; Associated
| Oil company proposed 20 cents per bar
| rel; Doran- Brouse & Price proposed 80
| cents per barrel.
| For lighting portion of Main street
designated as section 2, from Second
street to Sixth street, the Pacific Light
and Power company proposed 3A cents
per kilowatt.
For lighting portion of Main street
from Marchessault street to Second

posed 3a4 cents per kilowatt hour.

from Sixth street to Pico street the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric company pro-
posed 3A cents per kilowatt.
