In my last message I advised you
that the emperor of Russia had taken
the initiative in bringing about a sec
ond peace conference at The Hague.
Under the guidance of Russia the ar
rangement Of the prellminaries for
such a conference has been progressing
during the past year. Progress has
necessarily been slow, owing to the
great number Of countries to be con-
suited upon every question that has
arisen. 1t Is a matter Of satisfaction
that all Of the American republics have
now. for the first time. been invited to
join in the proposed conference.

NOTES BY THE
MATINEE MAN

! r REQUENTERS of the Mason who
! shivered in the icy glare of Max
inc Elliotts cold beauty last week
and wrapped themselves in mental
! furs, will be so thawed out by the erotic
warmth of Olga Nethersole this week
that they will need asbestos clothes be-
fore "Sapho" has run it's course. I
know; Olga is friend of mine.
This is Olga's first appearance in Los
Angeles, but she has played "Sapho"
in the United States befo = I figured
in a hot incident in collection with
this that may be interesting. The play
had been put on in Milwaukee, and then
went to st. Louis, where l was doing
theater stunts. l saw it, and-well, 1t
was about the warmest ever, then, for
that was some little while back. / wrote
! 1t up, and then got strong interview
with the torrid lady, in which she de-
Tended the show and rebuked those who
were so nambypamby that they
couldn't see it without evil results.
Then the churchly opened their batter
les upon it, and altogether nice row
was kicked up.
Olga has an astute brother, Louis,
and he saw the capital in it all. The
play was booked for New York. and he
got a paper there to take up the ques-
tion of it's prohibition as immoral, based
on what had happened in st. Louis, and
had my interview wired on. The paper
made a sensation out of it. and got old
Anthony Comstock aroused. The re-
suit was that it really was censored, 1t
got one performance in New York and
then was backed off the boards. Just
another case of genius o'erreaching
itself. The loss was terrific, and Olga
was heartbroken. But it has often been
played there since, and no one has ever
been harmed by it, that 1 know Of.
Reminds me of the recent uproar
about a Thomas Dixon play in Phila-
delphia, which, started for press agent
purposes, really became a riot, and
compelled the withdrawal of the drama
also. Once in a while, even a press
agent is too truthful for his own good.

CHER'S-Bwlesque
THE one question before theater-
goers in Los Angeles just now is:
Will the big Auditorium and the
Ferris stock company make good? The
consensus of opinion is that both will.
This is said generally, on the principle
that good ingredients make a good
mixture; not always, but generally.
Certainly the individuals comprising
this company are sufficiently able in
themselves, as was amply demonstrated
on the opening night, when packed
house waited through five mortal hours
for q rather meretricious melodrama to
unwind itself and a lot of green stage
hands to set immense spreads of can
vas. These people were more or less
familiar with the play itself, but they
wanted to watch the players and study
them Their verdict was that these
players are excellent, as a whole, and
they expect much from them.
Certainly in the matter of mounting
and effect the opening week left little
margin for surprises for the future.
Few productions ever made in this city
of big things have equaled this in mag
nitude, and for mere bigness it stands
alone. The immense stage affords all
sorts of opportunities, and they were
we'll grasped, several scenes being su-
perb. Dramatically, of course, much
was to Re desired time will be required
to eliminate these crudities. AS the
players become the better acquainted
team work may be looked for, and this
is everything in a stock organization.
Florence Stone has beauty and ability
and Andrew Robson is an actor of
parts, so that the two pillars of the
company are all that one would wish.
But as to the room or need for an
other stock organization-that' an
other story. Watch the box office for
the answer.

Bids on Ground That
a Combination Exists
O'GRADY GETS JOB

The Board of Supervisors awarded
all contracts for the furnishing OF sup
plies to the various city institutions
yesterday. with the exception Of those
for forage, plumbing and lumber. 1t
was held that the bids on the last
three items were excessive. Supervisor
Wilson said the high bids submitted
were the result of combination
among the dealers and il was decided
20 go into the open market for the
supplies named.
The contract for furnishing meat was
awarded to Schrader Bros. despite the
protest of Conway & Co., the loves I
bidder. The last-named Arm lost the
contract because 1t was alleged that it
had not supplied meats under a former
contract in accordance with the requi-
sitions.
Supervisor Lonergan made an effort
to secure the contract for furnishin
milk to all institutions but the Aims
house to Frank Marty. but the board
everruled Loner gaH's motion and made
the award to Joseph Fassler. P. Gahou
will supply milk to the Almshouse.
Other awards were as foliows:

and $3.50 for double team without
as Morton. coal at prices varying from
$3.50 TO $3.50 per ton and screenings at
$3.50 and $3.50 per ton.
The board postponed action on the
ordinance permitting the Ocean Shore
Railway Company to erect poles in The
center Of the roadway on Potrero ave.
nue. The street committee will en-
deavor to induce the company to put
lights on the poles.
The board passed to print the erdi-
nance imposing regulations on persons
and corporations that secure permits
for spur tracks. Rea said the ordi-
nance gave the merchant the right TO
bring his goods to this city on any
transcontinental line. as the use of any
spur track was not limited to the COM
pany building the track. Rea said the
ordinance was approved by the Dray

CHANGE Of GRADE
IS CONSIDERED.
Board Hears Arguments
onLowering Hump on
Golden Gate Avenue
COST OF PROJECT

The Board of Supervisors heard
arguments yesterday for and against
the proposed change of grade on
Golden Gate avenue. between Taylor
and Hyde streets, so as to remove the
hogs back therefrom.
John Carson, attorney for the Fran
ciscan Fathers OF st. Boniface Church,
Red Mems Hall Association and sew
erai other property owners filed formal
protests against the reduction of the
grade on behalf of his clients. Some
of the protestants would only agree to
the reduction If Leavenworth street
were extended through to Market
street Carson argued that the city
should bear the entire expense of the
project if it were carried through.
]. II. Hutaff produced the plans for
the new Red Mems Hall building on
Golden Gate avenue. between Leaven-
worth and Hyde streets, saying that
the foundation of the structure de-
stroyed is worth $4,000 and will be re-
built upon Hutaff claimed that the
proposed reduction was designed TO
benefit the property between Jones and
Leavenworth streets. where the grade
was to be cut from fourteen feet to
four feet.
A. Never said he would favor the
Improvement If the grade Of twenty
two feet were evenly distributed to
make a grade of 7.3 feet from Taylor
street to Hyde.
Rev. Father Valentine objected to
the reduction of the grade, as it would
necessitate the construction OF twenty
six steps to secure ingress to the st.
Boniface Church edifice which is to be
rebuilt on the site.
NJ Lynch cited a section of the char
ter in support of the claim that the
expense of correcting the grade must
be borne by the city, an opinion TO
that effect having been rendered by
James A. Devote. attorney for the
Board Of Works.
Joseph S. Tobin said a petition
signed by majority of owners of
property affected by the change askin &
that the grade be reduced had been
/ filed. Tobiu said business on Golden
Gate avenue had been held back be-
cause of the heavy grade, and sug-
gested that the Franciscan fathers sell
their property and move elsewhere so
as not to block the Improvement.
City Engineer Woodward said it
would cost $150,000 to remove the
humps at Jones and Leavenworth
streets. which would benefit all the
surrounding blocks Woodward urged
the doing OF the Improvement at once.
on account of it's comparatively small
expense.
James D. Phelan said the improve
ment would benefit the entire retail
district in the locality and bring
added revenue to the city through In
creased assessments. Phelan said an
assessment district would be formed
to raise the money for the project
which he held would benefit the prop
erty of the Red Men and the Fran
ciscan fatbe ers.
Supervisors Wilson and Galaghe er
both advocated the reduction OF the
grade The board then took the mat
ter under advisement. with an agree
ment that action will be taken at next
Mondays meeting. In all likelihood
the reduction of the grade will be or
derod. as most of the Supervisors ap-
pear to favor it.

GETS A DIVORCE

Married to the son of Seth Beach. a
lumber king of Placerville, a young
man who deserted her three months
after the wedding ceremony was per-
formed, Alice J. Beach applied for and
secured divorce yesterday from Percy
M. Beach. Judge Kerrigan heard the
testimony in the case and granted the
separation.
Mrs. Beach is now employed as a
waitress. Ever since her husband left
her abruptly she has been earning her
own living. She asked for no alimony.
and. to use her own words. she is
thankful enough to be free from the
young man.
She met her husband in San Fran
cisco in March. 1903. Beach was flying
high in those days and his courtship
was a matter of minutes rather than
days. 1t was speedy marriage, to
be followed by as speedy separation.
Three months Of domestic life con-
vinced the heir to lumber millions that
he would prefer to be alone. and he
took the law into his own hands.
George r. Wood, who Is acquainted
with both members of the Beach fam
lily, says that Percy was a heavy
drinker. and that on one occasion he
confided In the witness that he could
not support a wife, nor was he going to
try. True to his belief. he returned to
the parental roof in Plaeerville and is
there at the present time.
Clara X chm. whose husband. Charles,
is an electrician. brought suit yester-
day for a divorce on the ground of
cruelty. She related that on the 4th
OF August of the present year he said
to her: you are crazy. You are SO
ugly. I don't see why | ever married
you" again. on July 80, 1t is alleged
that he made slurring remarks to the
seven-year- old daughter of his wife by
another husband and then kicked her.
Winnie II. is seeking a divorce from
Michael G. Desmond on the ground of
desertion. John B. Warner wants a
divorce from Matilda a Warner. to
whom ne was married in Portland, July
/, on the ground of cruelty.
Elsie Z. Bolger has filed a divorce
complaint against Francis w. Bolger.
who is boat builder. They were
married August 5. 1897, and Bolger de-
serted his wife in December of the
same year. Religious scruples were re-
sponsible for her failure to ask for a
separation before this.
