REPEAL MORTGAGE TAX LAW
Members Of State Realty Board Giving
Earnest Support to Proposed
n Constitutional Amendment

Herbert Burdett, executive secretary,
has mailed copies of the following cir
cular letter to all members of the Cali
fornia state realty board.
Dear Sir: In accordance with a
resolution of the recent convention of
this federation 1 have to call your
attention to the Importance of voting
in favor of senate constitutional
amendent No. 8, which will be present.
ed to the voters at @the forthcoming
election.
"This amendment would effect the
repeal of the mortgage tax law. In
the opinion of the convention, unani-
mously expressed, this law is a him
drance to investments. Many eastern
people cannot understand why a per-
centage to cover the tax on mort
gage should be added to the net inter-
est rate; and the law is useless, be-
cause. in practice, the holder of the
mortgage does not pay the tax.
"You are requested to use your in
fluence in obtaining as many votes as
possible in favor of the amendment"

After RlHIns Pockets, Holdup Strikes
Man on the Head with

A daring holdup was reported to the
police last night by Philip Runner,
719 Ceres avenue. Runner said that
about 10 o'clock Saturday night he was
standing at Second street and Central
avenue waiting for a car.
Suddenly man came up behind him
and passed his arm around. Runners s

In front Of Runner commanded him to
throw up his hands. He did so and
the holdup men rifled his pockets Sc

charm.
After the pair had secured all of
Runners valuables the man whose
arm was about his throat struck him
with "black jack" and as he lay un-
conscious they went away. Runner
was not able to describe the man who
choked him, as he did not see him at
all. The description of the man who
thrust the gun In his face and told him
to put up his hands was as follows:

ULRICH STOCK COMPANY
BEGINS ITS CLOSING
WEEK AT THE GRAND

1t Is a good humored audience that
gathers at the Grand opera house, an
audience that asks amusement, not in
struction. There is not another the
ater in the cky whose patrons are
more loyal to the house and the play
ers. There is not an audience more
ready to overlook accidents and delays
which occur In first presentations"
and find amusement in what might
elsewhere draw Kisses and impatient
grumbling.
This week there is perfect unanimity
in the opinion that all Is as it should
be with play, players and playing.
There is abundant comedy and all-per-
vading thrills. There are three scenes
in each act, so every one is delighted.
In every one of the twelve scenes
of chinatown Charlie come Frank I.
Frayne, Lillian Hayward and Harry
Won Meter. Others get a breathing
space now and then, but these inde-
fatigables are always to the fore. There
is more than usual of the Chinatown
atmosphere in this play-in one act
the odor of incense could be scented
out in the lobby. Earl Gardner, in blue
pajamas and a pigtail, brought down
the house, so lifelike was his laundry
walk and the heather lingo which he
directed at his assistant in the "hoI
house," 4
AS in all melodrama, there is no.
ticeable lack Of plot in "Chinatowr
Charlie" Such as has been provided
by the author relates to the efforts OF
Buck Harris and Lola Marsh to make
away with Charles Jackson (no rela-
tive to the ex-heavyweight champion)
and secure the wealth of the rich uncle
Needless to say that they fail. The
story of the how and why of the fail
ure makes the play. The cleverness
of Agnes Ranken as Annie Gordon, a
telegraph operator, is the chief obsta.-
Gle they encounter.
Were there nothing else to amuse 1t
would be worth sitting for the two and
one-half hours to see Agnes Ranken
and Harrison King exchange clothes
on the stage, this trade being followed
by another "swop" between Miss Ran
ken and Lulu Warrenton.

Some Dramatic Notes

Belascos world wide reputation as a
dramatist is shown by a unique bill
which, in dark oak frame, hangs in
one of the executive offices Of the
Belasco theater, New York. The bill is
in Hungarian, and announces the ap-
pearance of the famous Ilka Palmay in
the role of "Pillango Kisassony," by
David Belasco, in Budapest, some time
in October, 1901. American readers
would probably not suspect that the
Hungarian title is the title of Madame
Butterfly" The Hungarians print the
surname first and the given name after,
and the authors name appears on the
bill as "Belasco David" Palmay is the
greatest actress of the dual empire and
achieved a great triumph in the role
of the Japanese wife.
Manager C. f. Hamilton of the
Hotchkiss contracted last week for
four new plays for the Hamilton
Howard company, which will be pro-
duced in rapid succession. All are
very clever comedies and none has ever
been seen here. He Is also negotiating
with several new players whom he
will add to his already excellent or
ganization.
Louis James company, which pre-
sents Merry Wives of Windsor" at
the Mason next week, includes such
sterling players as Norman Hackett,
Nellie McHenry, Aphie James ana
more of the same class. The entire
production is carried Manager Wal
lace Munro having asked the Mason
for only the bare stage and the drop
curtain.

LITTLE MOUSE
SCARES "BOOZER'
THINKS HE HAS 'EM AGAIN,
SURE

An incident occurred in the Pacific
building last night which, while it
created no little merriment among
those who were wise, had a more seri-
Gus aspect for the victim of the fun.
The nine O'Clock Long Beach car had
just left, almost clearing the station
of passengers, when a florid, heavy-set
rancher entered, somewhat the worse
for wear. An odor of stale corn"
emanated from his person, and it was
evident that he had come to the city
to celebrate. 1t was also plain that
ne had found the Los Angeles style
OF lubricant to his liking. Sitting down
between two sportive young fellows and
breathing heavily he prepared for the
long wait for his car
Inc station became quiet. The happy
celebrator was just about to fall into
a doze,. when, from behind the tele-
phone booths a little mouse crept
forth. The old soak began to sit up
and take notice. The young fellows sat
sober as judges and appeared not to
notice the little rodent which, as it
saw no one was disturbing it, became
bolder and bolder. 1t hoped UP in
the air; it ran out around the floor:
and all the while the erstwhile happy
man was becoming more and more ner-
vous; but the boys retained an impress
sive expression. Finally in desperation
he arose unsteadily and sought the
drinking fountain, while the mouse ran
back to it's hiding place. From the
wild look in the ranchers eyes it was
evident that the water wagon had Sc
cured another patron, for a time at
least.
1t is stated in local circles that ap-
plicants for seats on the water wagon
has become so numerous that the man
agement has been compelled to limit
the amount of baggage each passenger
may bring with him. Hereafter no
one will be allowed to take on the
wagon more than one green monkey
one bright blue and one orange snake.

full The code commission spent six
years in revising the laws. Senator
Hahn spent sixty days in examinfnn
our vast number of code provisions as
a check on the code commission. His
statements In this regard are all bosh.
The legislature Of the state Of Cali
fornia swallowed the recommendation
OF the code commission as a whole, as
any proper examination Of their recon-
mendations would have taken the en-
tire legislature a year to accomplish.
The facts of the case are that outside Of
reporting the bills Senator Hahn
had no more to do. with them than
Aguinaldo down in the Philippines.
As to the Court Of Appeals
Senator Hahn introduced eonstitu-
tional amendment No. 2, providing for
the organization of the district court
or appeals. How foolish the great law
yers of this state, and numerous bar
associations must feel when they con-
slider that all their brains and ability
and hours of labor were needlesslv
spent, In view of the fact that a bril-
liant legal light was a member of the
state senate, who would have attended
TO all this for them, had they merely re-
quested him to do so, instead of draw
ing up the measures and having them
introduced and going personally to
Sacramento to see thut they became a
law. How fortunate for the Republi-
can party that Senator Hahn was a
member of the legislature when the
last United States senator was elected.
and we only quote from the paid adj
vertisement of the executive committee
or the Pasadena Republican club to
prove It, in the words, IT is needless
TO say that nobody but a poised and
experienced man would be entrusted
with such responsible undertaking.
Had not their choice been such a happy
one perhaps the Hon. Frank p Flint
might not have been United States
senator.
Senator Hahn's Platform
Senator Hahn in his platform, says
he sincerely believes in an economical
administration of the affairs of this
state, but this does not fit with his
record. Senator Hahn without protest
got every dollar of patronage he could
get out of the state treasury In his
platform he is opposed to boss rule
subject, he might have added, to the
orders of Walter Parker and the South
ern Pacific machine. He believes in
direct primary nominations and then
votes against the people of the state
OF California selecting their own United
STATES senator. He is against bribery,
but evidently Is not above accepting
passes against the provisions of the
constitution. He says that 1t Is not so
much what he does himself that
counts as the amount of work he gets
out of others. He should have said
that It was not so much what he him
self did as 1t was the amount of work
which the corporation bosses got out
of him.
The people of Senator Hahn's dis
trlct Will perform painful undertake
ing when they leave at home this
poised and experienced man"-this
able corporation attorney, and how
pear Walter must be unpardonably
shocked to think that such a poised
and experienced man should open his
letters to the public.
