WORST CONSTABLE IN
BLOODY SALOON SET-TO
POLICEMAN COMES TO RESCUE
OF COLLEAGUE
Three Prisoners Are Booked or
Charge of Interfering With Blue
coats as a Result of Main Street
Fracas and Must Answer in Court

In an effort to stop drunken brawl
which originated in the saloon next
to the Star theater on South Main
street last night, William Whit eside, a
deputy constable under Cline, was Sc
verely beaten by three men under the
leadership of E. M. Davis and Joe Bur-
nett.
In the saloon a controversy started
over some trifling matter and Davis
and his friends started to fight in the
saloon. Whiteside, who was passing at
the time, heard the row in the interior
of the resort and went in to try to stop
the brawl.
He succeeded in getting Davis to the
sidewalk across the street from the
Star and was calling for policeman
when Davis struck him on the head
with a set of brass knuckles.
Patrolman O'Brien placed three OF
the participants in the row under ar
rest. Davis was the first to be arrested
and the others were arrested for inter
fering with O'Brien in the discharge
of his duty.
All three were booked on the charge
Of interfering with an officer

STOMACH ON THE BRAIN
what n Man Gain the whole world
and Lose His Appetite.

The man with a well-behaved stom-
ach never thinks about it. He eats
what he likes and likes what he eats.
He knows he'll enjoy. it, because he
knows he has a stomach that Will
easily digest 1T. All things look good
to him; he will sit close to the table,
and with a merry twinkle in his eve
and a world-peace expression he will
start" on the delicious meal before
him.
But the man with the bad, brashy,
gurgly stomach is the man who is al
ways thinking about it, lie can seldom
eat what he most likes, and seldom
likes what he eats. His stomach wor-
ries him before meals, after meals and
between meals. 1t is on his brain. 1t
robs him Of his cheer and interferes
with his daily work. Around him Is
dark spirit which presses itself forward
in his thought, crying: 81 am agony, /
am disgust, / am nausea. am sick
ness, languor, worry. / am conceived
in quick lunches and pappy food, and
nourished by gulpy meals. / rob brains
of their force and bodies of their life.
/ steal away nerve and vim. | bring
heart disease and apoplexy. / make the
world a pit of WEAKNESS and darkness.
am woe, l am death. | am dyspep-
STA. But yet, 1 bring also hope, light
and future health, because by my
gloomy presence / give you warning
and chance to escape me-"
This Is a bad dream, but 1t Is the
daily dream of the dyspeptlc. If 1t
were not for the white we couldn't tell
the black. If it were not for dyspepsia,
we couldn't know the JOY the happi-
ness of well-ordered digestion. All
the world looks bright to a man of
good health, and good health Is impos-
sible without a good, hardy stomach.
And any sick or weak stomach can be
made good, strong one by just taking
something which will digest your food
for you, instead of letting your tired
stomach do it. Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are the most effective little
tablets in the world for this very thing.
If you feel bloated after eating, or you
have nausea, aversion to food, bra sh,
irritation, sour stomach, heartburn or
dyspepsia, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
will stop 1t, because one grain of an
ingredient of these tablets will digest
5000 grains of food.
Your stomach is overworked Let ii
take rest. You're not yourself when
you have q bad stomach. These tab
let's will do the work that the stomach
has to do and make you feel bright,
think clearly and give you ambition
and power to concentrate your atten-
ton on your work. You'll feel good.
You should always have a box OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets on your
dining table. They will make you get
all the good possible out of everything
you eat, and you'll enjoy 1t.

so many years. The only figures given
in this first report was statement that
to the best of it's knowledge and be-
lief the company was possessed OF
100000 worth of property. This state
ment declared that the Peoples Gas
company was a new incorporation
which had but recently taken UP the
property of the Independent Gas COM
pany and for that reason was in no
position to give the facts demanded by
the ordinance.
In what it termed a supplementary
report filed with the city clerk last
Monday the Peoples Gas company fur
n.shed further figures telling the
amount of cubic feet 1t had supplied to
Los Angeles consumers and giving the
cost of this supply. This report was
not sworn to and in this way was a
violation of the ordinance.
The Home Telephone company po-
litely, but firmly, refused to make any
report whatsoever, declaring that il
feared to invalidate it's franchise
granted by the city if it complied with
the ordinance.
The Sunset Telephone company,
which operates under precisely the
same kind of franchise, submitted a
complete sworn statement, although it
declared it did so under protest and re-
served all rights. This company was
several days late in getting the report
into the hands of the city clerk and
the city attorney had contemplated
proceeding against it, but as it was on
hand in time for the Monday session
of the council he overlooked this vio-
lation.

MADAME M0DJESKA is AT
BEST IN "MARY STUART
EXQUISITE PICTURE GIVEN OF
FATED QUEEN
Genius Of the Famous Actress Shines
In Brilliant Contrast Beside the
Work Done by the Excellent Play
ers of Her Company

Madame Modjeska's MARY Stuart
gave the audience a much keener
glimpse into the genius which made
tnls actress famous than was afforded
by her characterize lion of Lady Mac
beth. Excellent as was the work of
the members of her company, who are
nearly all at the height of their
careers, the star shone ~ brilliant con-
trast.
When the audience applauded the
work of Loretta Wells they were show
ing an appreciation of almost perfect
elocution, or remarkable strength and
OF her intelligent delightful conception
OF her character. But the spontaneous
outourst at the close of Madame Mod
Jeska's scene in the third act was a
recognition of that unexplanable thing
called genius, which makes material
charms, however great, fade into in
significance.
The pitiful fate of the Queen of Scots
makes the character demand much less
OF physical force than the Shak-
spearean role of the evening before re-
quired Madame Modjeska's powers of
body have now limitations which We're
unknown in the former days.
Such character as Mary Stuart.
which throws the advantage in favor
of the display of soul carries her to
heights of which only a hint was given
the night previous in the sleep walking
scene.
The stars wonderful scene in the
third act bore so strong likeness to
nature, was made so marvelously gen.
une that any small infirmties that
years have added to her body only
added to the verisimilitude of the char
acter.
The cast was displayed to excellent
advantage. Most of them overacted,
which was made additionally plain by
the quiet natural methods of Madame
Modjeska. Miss Wells gave a pleasing
portrayal of Queen Elizabeth, although
her personal appearance showed she
gathered her ideas from a far more
fiattering history than Nance O'Neil
studied
Edwin Caldwell as Mortimer looked
like Alexandra Salvini and was gener-
ously applauded. Charles Herman was
acceptable as William Cecil and Will
liam Hazeltine was good in the role of
Robert Dudley.
Mary Stuart will be repeated this
afternoon, and tonight Much Ado
About Nothing" will be offered.

THE Telephone Girl" which is this

Ing one of the most attractive bills ever
presented by this company in Los An
geles. 1t displays to excellent advan-
tage the principals and gives opportu-
nifty to show the comedian in a more
cheerful light than was afforded in last
weeks play.
Lottie Kendall has apparently in
creased her popularity with Los An
geles audiences with the passing OF
pears to excellent advantage in the

The rendition really is a more merito-
rious production than when it was pre-
sented by the original Olympia Opera
company last season. Although the
comedy Is somewhat broad in some of
the scenes, the songs are tremendously
effective and are, without ain exception,
well sung.

LAWYER GRILLS
T0SSIE WRIGHT
LIBRARY DIRECTOR TESTIFlES
AT INVESTIGATION
Proceedings Drag Along With Little
to Show for Hours spent-Wlt-
nesses Make Accusations
Against Miss Jones

The attorneys for Miss Mary L.
their side of the case in the library
investigation, which was continued in
the council chamber last evening, and
the attorneys for the library directors
began the presentation of the defense.
Library Director Foster c. Wright
was the first witness examined for the
board last night and his examination
was not completed when an adjourn
ment was taken. Mr.. Wright was
griled and roa sted and broiled, but
"Tossie" has been educated in the hard
school Of politics and didn't mind 1t
a bit He returned suave answers tc
all the questions in the severe cross
examination to which he was subjected
by Attorney Harris, and only once did
he lose his temper and tell the attor-
ney that he did not propose TO be brow
beaten by him. At convenient inter-
walls "Tossie' forgot entirely, or could
not exactly recollect, but on the whole
1t Is probable the prosecution got what
1t wanted out of him.
Attorney Harris attempted to make
the witness confess that he was the
real instigator of the removal of Miss
Jones, but while Mr.. Wright would not
directly admit it. he did not deny 1t,
and Harris appeared satisfied.
In his testimony Wright said that he
believed Miss Jones was lazy in the
administration of the affairs of the
library and that he had frequ entity
criticise her for this. He also de-
clared that she was careless in the
manner in which supplies were pur-
chased and that this carelessness had
cost the library many dollars that
might have been saved. He stated en-
phaticaly, however, that he had no
charge of dishonesty to prefer against
Miss Jones in connection with this
purchase of supplies. He also declared
that she did not keep proper hours.
Here Dock Houghton had to butt in.
Does Lummis get the same hours
as the other employees and those which
Miss Jones was expected to keep?' he
asked.
mr. Lummis has the permission of
the board to do some of his work at
home, privilege which Miss Jones
never had" was Mr.. Wrights answer.
"Uh, huh" crowed the dock, Just see
how easy it is when one is a good In
dian"
The witness declared that no politics
had entered into his preference for Mr..
Lummis as librarian, as Lummis had
voted against former Mayor Sny-
Wright had been a hard worker for
Snyder and the former mayors secre-
tary during two administrations.
When the witness was dismissed for
the evening the commission adjourned
to Thursday evening at o'clock AT
the council chamber, when the case will
be continued.

AMERICAN
FEELING CROWS
CHINESE SITUATION CAUSE
FOR CONCERN
For Some M onths the Conditions Have
Been Subject of Worry to the
State Department and
Mr.. RockhilI
BY Associat ted Press.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Reports
continue to pour into the department of
state from diplomatic and consular
agents in China regarding the rapid
increase of feeling against Americans
and things American as expressed in
edicts issued by local authorities in
various parts of the empire. For six
months the situation in China has been
the subject of very genuine concern
to the department and Mr.. Rockhill,
the American minister at Pekin, is
under instructions to keep Washing
ton thoroughly and frequently in
formed of the situation. He is also eX-
erting himself at the Chinese capital
in an effort to check or allay the anti
foreign feeling that appears to be
growing. While not admitting tn 1T the
situation is one of immediate danger
the officials here would not be at all
surprised at any developments a month
may bring forth
Although at the outset demanding
only return to the provisions of the
original exclusion treaty of 1880. which
excluded from this country Chinese
laborers without specifying the classes
oe Chinese which should be admitted
in some provinces manifestoes have
been issued declaring that if the boy
colt is rigidly adhered to, Americans
will be forced to forego any eXclu-
sion at all. Such expressions have been
Immediately denied by Mr.. Rockhill al
Pekin.
Although directed primarily against
Americans the feeling of i'll will that
seems to be growing in various parts
of the empire is interpreted by orien-
talsts to have a far deeper meaning
In a word it is declared to be anti
foreign, and there are Indications that
all foreigners. with the possible excep-
ton of the japanese, will soon be as
keenly affected as are Americans.
Informal representations regarding
the Chinese situation already have been
exchanged between some of the Eu-
ropean powers, hut thus far this coun-
try has not called foreign nations into
consultation because there is a very
general feeling among the European
powers that the Chinese are unjustly
Disseminated against by the American
government. and so long as the anti
foreign feeling is confined to Ameri-
cans the Europeans are expected to
bde their time.
The dispatch from PelSin published
yesterday, regarding the activity of
Russia in Mongolia, has been taken
note of by the officials here.

BARBOUR WAITS
CLEARER SKIES
WILL REAPPEAR WIEN STORM
HAS PASSED
Finaneler Has Not Left the State and
Remains In Telephone commu-
nlcatIon With His Most 81.
Trusted Friends

Henry p. Barbour, who was con-
nected with the Los Angeles Dock *
Terminal copany, alleged to have left
the state with bad debts to the amount
of S250,000 behind him, Is not far from
this city.
A close friend of Barbour told a
Herald man yesterday that Mr.. Bar
bour was still i'm touch with his bust
ness associates ana might return any
day to the city.
As exclusively told in The Herald,
Barbour was I'm Los Angeles Monday,
and was seen at the Douglas building,
where he gave a brief interview about
his complicated affairs.
He left the city that same night but
is in constant telephone communica-
tion with his friends and may return
any day to aid in settling his financial
difficulties.
Woman in the Case
Besides being deeply involved in
speculative enterprises, the name OF
Mr.. Barbour has been coupled with
that of Miss Mary A. Nye, pretty
little milliner living on West First
street.
1t is alleged that for some time Bar
bour has been infatuated with the lit
tie blonde and that 1t was an open
secret to his friends but was unknown
to his wife.
Miss Nye could not be found yester-
day at her cozy little flat at 5l9 West
First street and it was said that she
had left for San Francisco. There was
absolutely no evidence tending to show
that Barbour had gone with her, and
the pretty millner Is expected back
any day.
That the woman in the case had any
thing to do with the unfortunate out
come of Mr.. Barbour's real estate deals
hall a
critical time rumor connects in prom
inent way the names of the absent
Spectator and his alleged protege, the
little milliner.
May Attach Furniture
1t is alleged that the furniture in the
flat was the property of Barbour and
attachment proceedings may be taken
to cover all the furniture
S. S. Wolfe, the landlord, says that
Miss Nye was a quiet tenant and that
she supported herself as milliner.
IT have never seen anything out of
the way in her conduct" he said yes
terday. However, I never mix up in
other peopre's private affairs and as
long an the rent is paid l do not pry
into the goings and comings of my
tenants"
Close friends of Mr.. Barbour knew of
the alleged attachment of the wealthy
promoter for the lovely blonde, and it
was a matter of common knowledge, Il
Is said. except to Mrs. Barbour, who
has learned of the woman part of the
story for the first time through the
papers. Mrs. Barbour is at the Hotel
Portsmouth and denies herself TO even
intimate friends. She is bearing up
brayely under the double burden of her

Murray Mitchell, manager for Mr..
Barbour, claims that his employer is
out of the state but it is but ma tural
that he should shield him until the
complicated business deals are straight
ened out.
Mr.. Mitchell is endeavoring to save
some of the property for Mrs. Barbour,
and he is loud in his admiration for her
pluck under such trying circumstances.
