GRAND OPERA COMPANY
WILL NOT COME SOUTH
LOOKS WITH DISDAIN, 1T is SAID,
UPON LOS ANGELES
Hugo GorIitz, Manager of kubeIk, the
Worlds Famous Violinist, COM
ments on Situation and incidentally
Tells of Latter's Success

Conrieds grand opera company has
looked with disdain upon music-loving
Los Angeles and will not visit this city
during the present season. which opens
on the Pacific coast in April.
This is The news that was brought
here last night by the arrival of Hugo
Gorlitz, manager of Kubelik, the world
famous violinist, who will appear in
this city at Simpson auditorium, COM
mencing March 26.
No reason other than an unusual
crush of business, says Mr.. Gorlitz, has
been ascribed for the almost unpar-
donable action of Conried. But accord
ing to Mr.. Gorlitz, Kubelik will remain
here longer than usual and the repor-
toire that has been arranged will be one
that will attract every music lover in
Los Angeles.
With the arrival of Mr.. Gorltz comes
stories of the greatest success in the
east and in Canada ever made by
Kubelik. Mr.. Gorlitz, who was at one
time Paderewski's manager. says that
the record houses of the famous Polish
pianist have been broken by Kubelik.
At present Kubelik is playing in
Toronto. After leaving there he will
complete his middle east engagements
and then come to this city. Mr. Gorlitz
and his son have apartments at the

"oNn MAN FROM MILWAUKEE,"

Mr.. e. p. Ripley, president Of the
Santa Fe Railway company, said
good many memorable things in his
speech at the chamber of commerce
banquet-words that will go echoing
over the United states and come back
to him with the thunderous reverbera-
ton of an incoming tide.
one of the memorable things he said,
i'm his effort to show the contemplate
beginnings Of this universal demand for
railroad rate regulation, was that it
emanated from cone man from Mil
waukee, persistent and persevering'
and with a real grievance"
II Mr.. Ripley had paused to con-
slider this declaration he would have
assuredly recalled the fact that that Is
precisely where all the great move
ments Of the world have originated.
one man with a grievance-one man
patient and persevering-has over
turned dynasties, dethroned kings and
caused many lands to run red with
human blood The man with a real
grievance is only dangerous when the
people are aware that his grievance is
their grievance; that his condition is
their condition and his fight their
fight.
It was bad policy to speak with con-
tempt of the lone man from Milwau-
kee." for that one man represented all
the burdens that the people bear in the
way of excessive and discriminating
railway rates. That man became a
beacon light pointing the way to safer
and better conditions. That man, pa
tient and persevering, stood for the
great human outcry that found vent
through a single channel.
Stupendous results have been accom-
plished in the world by one man. His
tory is full of them. 1t is the one man
who does things, who thinks great
thoughts and performs great deeds. If
zone man from Milwaukee" spoke for
no one but himself; if his protest had
not found an answering voice in the
spirit of the people; if his vigor and
aggression meant only his own per-
sonal affair, he might have shouted and
gesticulated in vain. But the public
recognized the cry as coming from
themselves. They knew that his fight
was their fight and his condition was
their own.
One man with a grievance, patient
and persevering, is a power in the
land when he is right. And he needn't
come from Milwaukee every time, for
his citizenship is national and world
wide.

THE FIZZLE EAT FRESNO

A so-called public ownership" party
was launched at Fresno this week. A
few men of various political tendencies
so few that organization was we'll
nigh made impossible-met, resolved,
named a committee and adjourned. And
thus another flash in the pan petered
out.
This convention was to have been a
great affair. 1t was to have been
"graced" by the presence of San Fran
cisco's mayor, Fiddler Schmitz, and his
owner, Abe Ruef. They were to have
ment and the Socialists, and action was
to have been taken which, it was eX-
pected, would revolutionize politics in
California.
But all this, which was to have been,
was not. Despite his agreement made
when here by Schmitz, the fiddler-may-
or and Ruef stayed away. And the con-
vention was composed of such four
flushers as Arthur Hay, Dock
Houghtcn and a few more of their ilk
This ought to show these dupes of
shrewder men that SchmitZ, Ruef ct
al. are merely making cats-paws out
of them. The San Francisco contin-
gent has no idea of tying itself up with
any such outfit as the Fresno public
ownership bunch, foredoomed to defeat,
Schm1tz and Ruef are playing for big
ger game. They have the Republican
party where the wool is short, and they
intend to force themselves on that or
ganization as candidates for governor
and senator, respectively. With the
grip they have on the Republican ma
chine, why should they sacrifice their
chances, even for principles" to a
mediocre outfit like that evolved this
week?
True, Schmitz and Ruef have declared
for public ownership in San Francisco
by seizng a dinky street railway there.
But there is small comfort in this for
the Houghton outfit. The street rail-
way will afford political jobs to horde
of Schmtz-Ruef followers who are
clamorlng uneasily close to their heels
for a piece of the pie; and afford a
bully chance for "rake-off' besides.
And on the strength of it, bid will, of
course, be made for the new crowd s
support at the right time. But no one
need be deluded nor sidetracked by
these doings; Schmitz and Ruef are 60
ing to stick closer to the Republican
party than a porous plaster, and are
going after the governorship and the
senatorship in that organization.
Municipal ownership may become a
reality at no distant day, but if so it
will be established by it's friends, not
by such small fry politicians as en-
deavored to butt into prominence at
Fresno on a great economic question
which they do not understand or ap-
preciate and which they don't care to
understand as long as they can use il
for personal ends.

SELF-PROPELLER COMING
New Style of Electric Car to Make
Trip Across the Continent With
Los Angeles as Destination

The first propelled electric cars ever
built are now being constructed for use
over the interurban railway, which
will be completed between Kansas City
and Olathe, some time in June.
Four Of these cars are now being
built in New York city and one that
is already constructed will soon start
on a trip across the continent, coming
west by the way of Chicago, Kansas
City to San Francisco and thence to
Los Angeles over the railroads and
running upon the schedule of limited
trains.
The car is propelled by means of an
electric motor that is run by gasoline
engine and is called the Strang-Ntlson
car. Storage batteries are used to sup
ply additional power for climbing
grades.
The records of the experimental car
are said to be unusual. Gasoline cars
burn one gallon of liquid per mile.
The Strang- Nilsson car uses half gal
lon The gasoline engine driving the
electric motor has six cylinders. so
placed on the shaft that any dead
center is entirely overcome. Storage
batteries are used to meet the require
ments of high grades. Kerosene, alcohol
or crude oil can be used in the motor
as we'll as gasoline. The efficiency of
the electric motor over the gasoline
motor as a propulsion power is ac-
counted for by the statement that the
difference in grades cause loss of en-
ergy in the gasoline motor that is OBJ
waited in the electric motor by the
storage battery. The new car has
maintained an average speed over east
ern steam roads of fifty miles an hour.

OR CREIGHTON, THEY ASK
Receives Many Different Answers in
Pronunciation Contest for Free
Tickets-Prizes Awarded to the
Six Frst=Comers

Manager Blackwood of the Belasco
theater yesterday morning had a large
portion of The Herald's readers guess
ing as to the correct pronunciation OF
the name Crichton. In yesterdays Her
aid he advertised that he would give
two free seats to the Belasco theater
company's Monday night performance
of j. M. Barrie's fascinating fantasy,
"The Admirable Crichton," to the first
six persons that sent to the box office
the right phonetic pronunciation or
the chief parsonage in the play.
He was led to do this by the various
ways Crichton had been pronounced by
people who wanted to purchase seats
for next weeks Belasco performances.
Apparently no two persons had the
same idea as to how the name should be
pronounced. Yesterdays advertisement
in The Herald made it APPARENT that
there exists a wide diversity Of opinion
on the subject.
The replies were waiting for the Be
lasco people long before the box office
was open for business at o'clock. The
first mail brought a huge bundle of
answers, while all during the day and
until the contest closed at o'clock,
people brought or sent letters to the
extent of over three thousand to the
Belasco theater ticket department. The
answers showed that Los Angeles tne-
ater-goers have been calling the hero
of the Barrie piece anything from ms
right name, which is, according to MIR.
Blackwood, "Cry-ton," to Crayton,
Kreetong, Kratong, Krittin, Krichin,
while one person ventured the state
ment that he couldn't pronounce the
name. but could spell it correctly, which
he then proceeded TO do, covering a
sheet of fools-cap paper with the woro
"Crchton.'
The first six to send in correct re-
plies were: N. Bowditch Blunt of the
city engineers office, Horace b. King
of the First National bank, Grace Poy-
ger of 667 Echandia street, w. f. Ash
bridge, 222 East Thirty-eighth street;
Edna Miller, 1857 East Forty-seventh
street, and M. Moore, 20i9 Aubrey
street The free tickets await the
fortunate people at the Belaseo theater

PHYSICIANS SUSPECT SUICIDE
Patient at the Emergency Hospital
Dies Under Very Peculiar
Circumstances

'Ethelbert Brown, a trainer at Ascot
park, died at the emergency hospital
yesterday afternoon under peculiar Cir
cumstances, and the hospital physicians
suspect a case of suicide. An inquest
will be held today to decide the cause
of death. t
Brown was taken suddenly i'll at his
room near the park in the morning and
was removed to the hospital, where he
died about o'clock.
He had been suffering from kidney
disease and it was thought that he
took an overdose of morphine because
of despondency over his chronic
trouble.
The body was taken to Bresee Broth
ers' undertaking rooms to await the re-
suit of the inquest.
The deceased came of a good family

COMMITTEE IS
IN A QUANOARY
SEEKS PUBLIC SPIRITED MEN
FOR APPOINTMENT
Board Of Public Works Question Re-
mains Open Until Citizens Can
Be Found Who Are Will
ing to Serve

"Guess again." is the Injunction the
members of the committee of seven
who are laboring over the board of pub
lie works problem give to all questions.
Chairman Call of the committee said
yesterday that all previous guesses had
been wrong, but that by Monday
morning he felt certain the committee
would be in a position to present three
names to the mayor to be sent to the
council for confirmation, and as posi-
lively stated that his name would not
be among the list.
The committee spent q good part of
yesterday afternoon in considering the
proposition, but what conclusion it ar
rived at it's members refuse to rake
public until they are certain of their
grounds.
1t is an open secret that a number of
prominent men have been offered the
positions, but that most of these have
declined to accept under any circum-
stances. 1t has claimed that two have
signified a willingness to play the role
of lambs led to the slaughter and out
of pure public spirit will accept the po-
sitions. These are said to be men to
whom a paltry $500 month has no
destinations, but who they may be is
q secret that Is carefully guarded.
A. b. Cass, whose name has been per-
sistently mentioned said yesterday that
he would positively not accept the
place, as he could not afford to sac
rifce his business interests at this
time. Joseph Scott will not act under
any circumstances. Major Norton has
positively refused. This narrows the
possible choice down to few, as Mr..
Call is responsible for the statement
that no member of the committee of
seven will be named by that COM
mittee.
Rumor has it that d. X. Edwards
and General r. p. Johnson are the
two who have signfed a willingness
to take a place, but this rumor cannot
be confirmed.
1t is highly probable though that by
Monday the board will be selected and
by next Tuesday the Interrupted pub
lis work will be taken up at the point
where it so abruptly stopped the first
of the wear.
