High School Notes

The Minerva literary society held
their weekly meeting Friday afternoon.
The program consisted of a debate,
which shows that the girls are pre-
pairing for the contest with the boys
debating class. The question was:
Resolved that too much attention is
paid to athletics in schools aud COL
leges. Those on the affirmative vote:
Grace Barrett, Jessie Coulter and Lucy
Brown. Negative: Annie McIlraith,
Florence Secord and Lillian Tagley.
Miss Barrett, first speaker on the
affirmative treated the subject from AN
educational standpoint, stating that the
present system of school athletics was
wrong. causing distraction from the
studies. Miss McIlraith on the mega
tive followed, giving reasons for and
benif1ts derived from the athletics. She
stated that the best thing in the world
was a sound mind in sound body and
mentioned some of the benefits derived,
as, moral, self-control, temperance,
nerve (invaluable), and courage, clos
ing with the statement that never be-
fore in the history of Yale college have
there been such high standard of
morals as now. Miss Brown said that
the practice of taking professional
players into the teams was doing harm,
destroying fair play, and described the
game as noisy, rough and boisterous
from kickoff to touchdown. Miss Sc
cord stated that the body, If neglected
in youth, could never reach physical
maturity, also that there not being any
compulsory military system in this
country, athletics were essential to the
youth. Miss Coulter said that foot
ball, ETC., gave the malicious man an
opportunity to injure his opponent, al
so. that complete physical exhaustion
shortened life. Miss Tagley touched on
intercollegiate contests. saying that
athletics promoted scholarship, espe-
cially in schools where certain aver
age Is required of one participating,

The meeting was in the form of a
reception given to prohibitionists under
the auspices of the Los Angeles Wo-

spoke words of greeting and welcome
to the candidates in the name of the

After remarks by Mr.. Wheeler Mrs.

that it makes one believe that it is
not so much the fault of the players
as of their instruction, their stage di-
rection. The unanimity of declamatory
effects is too universally to admit of
hardly any other construction. If so,
Arizona" needs another stage director;
If not, then its actors and actresses
need course in stage reading.
OF the company the best player is
Escamillo Fernandez, the Tony AL
most no fault lies with him. He plays
the mandolin well, sings better and is
the Mexican to the life. Joseph Green
Is Candy, and in size he is ideal. Clar-
ence Heritage as Bonham, E. j. Far
rell as Denton, and especially Thomas
Lingham as Hodgman, vastly everyday.
Alma Powell as Estrella is fierceiy
melodramatic in the elopement scene
almost mirthfully so. Alma Bradley
shows lack of repression as Bonita.
Bernice Buck isn't so bad as Lena, and
Jack Ferris is good as the Chinese. The
rest of the cast are subject to the same
general criticism heretofore mentioned.
The scenic investiture. and the cos
tunes are excellent. The Introduction
Of the cavalry is variant which makes
for stage effects. But the horses should
be stabbed on some soft substance to
muffle their hoof beats, as they can
be plainly heard all through the even
ing.

ARIZONA OPENS
FOR BRIEF STAY
FINE PLAY INTRINSICALLY,
BUT OVERPLAYED HERE
Lines and Situations Are So Clever
That They Carry 1t in Spite of
Defective company-cav-
airy introduced

ARIZONA" which opened for a brief
engagement at the Mason last night, is
so intrinsically good a play that COM
pany of the Veriest dubs couldn't ut
terly spoil it if they tried. Augustus
Thomas, in this his first great work,
gave us what many have termed the
great American DRAMA" and certain
ly neither he nor anyone else since
then has written anything more worthy
of the title. 1t breathes the very spirit
of the great west, that glowing west
of the cattle range and the desert,
where a man Is what he is and not
what the people think he is; where the
free life and the wide open air and
land make up for all the artiticiality
OF civilization and its softness; where
1t is a Joy to be alive and a pleasure
to breathe.
Mr.. Thomas has caught this atmos-
phere of Arizona" so we'll that the
play seems like a bit of actual life,
not merely series of stage pictures.
Its situations are true, never forced:
its events are perfectly natural; It's
people are absolutely replicas of many
whom traveller with his eyes open
can find today. Hence. no matter
what may be done to the drama, its
Verities are as constant as are the
everlasting hills.
The present company which essays
ARIZONA" doesn't realize ones ideals,
by any means. Almost without ex-
ception the parts are greatly over
played; they are declalmed with fatu-
Gus gestures and i'll placed emphasis.
The people move about like automa-
tons, seemingly not understanding the
of the situations, not COM
pretending the purport of their ac-
tons, but spouting their words in elo-
cutionary school fashion, with all the
stilted movements of a creaky wind
mill This makes of an intense drama
a thriller Of the shocker class, some
thing that was never contemplated.
This is so general with the company

WOMAN |MAG|NES
HERSELF A STAR
SHOOTS AT MAN BELIEVING
HIM A SPIRIT
Is Locked Up as Violently Insane and
Will Be Tired Before Commission
to Determine Mental
Status

Calling for her mother to come and
aid in driving off the spirits she i'm
agined were surrounding and endeav-
oring to carry her away, Mrs. %. Grif-
hths, a comely woman, 81 years of age,
was taken from the city Jail last night
to the county hospital. where she will
be held pending an examination as to
her sanity.
The woman was arrested yesterday
morning on complaint of John Breen,
2703 South Hope street, who informed
the police that while sitting near the
Southern Pacific tracks at Santa Mon
lea avenue and Figueroa street some
person had shot four times at him
from the barn in the rear of the rouse
at 521 West Thirty-eighth street De-
tectiVe Jack Walsh was at once sent
to the scene and on arriving at the
barn found Mrs. Griffiths waving a
large revolver and crying loudly for
the spirits to go away and leave her.
II am the star Of Jupiter" she shout
ed when she saw the detective. "Spir-
its have been taunting me all morning,
but have driven them away. They
have tried to molest me, but l have
conquered. Heed thou; be like the star
Of Jupiter and naught will ever harm
you"
Mrs. Griffith had been shooting
through cracks IN the side OF the barn
at young Breen, thinking he was a
spirit and was endeavoring to molest
her.
With considerable difficulty the de-
tective obtained her consent to accom-
pany him downtown and she was at
last locked in the city jail.
According to neighbors, Mrs Grifiths
has been acting strangely for some
time and has frequently spoken OF
seeing spirits and holding conVeTsa-
tions with them. Although 1t was
thought she was insane, no one ever
thought she would become violent and
no precautions We're taken to guard
against an outbreak.

BESOLD TRIAL
To Be RESUMED
DEFENSE WILL DENY IDENTITY
OF CLOTHES
VIII Also Try to Show That on Date
Of Alleged Murder the Couple
Were Living in Los
Angeles

After two days delay, the prelimin-
ary examination of Anton Besold, on
trial. charged with the murder of his
wife, Claddie Besold, will be resumed
this morning before Justice Young of
the township court.
Although during the two days of ex-
animation already past the most grew
some details of the horrible find of the
Temescal canyon were thoroughly re-
hearsed before Besold, and the mass of
hair which had fallen from the skull of
the woman supposed to have been his
wife displayed in court, it has had no
effect upon him, and he has been en-
joying the regular routine pleasures
of the county Jail to the fullest extent.
Today Attorney lie Compile Davis will
continue his aggressive defense of the
accused man. Already subpoenas have
been issued for several witnesses who
will represent the defense. 1t will be
attempted to prove that the decomposed
body found in the Temescal canyon last
August was not the remains of Mrs.
Cladde Besold. 1t will be argued that
the body had been exposed to the ef-
feet of the elements for several months
whereas the allegations OF the prosecu-
tion are that the body was there lust
about a month at the time of its discov-
cry.
Say Clothes Are Not Mrs. Besold's
1t will be further contended by the
defense that the clothes produced at
the trial, while bearing a resemblance
to some worn by Mrs. Besold, are re-
ally not her clothes. To that end a
number of newspaper men who Viewed
the condition Of the grewsome find and
took notice of the decayed condition OF
the bones will be called as witnesses for
the defense.
Another point in the defense of the
accused man will be that on the date
alleged BY the prosecution to have been
the day upon which Mrs. Besold was
murdered, Besold and his wife were liv-
ing In Los Angeles. In fact, that point
OF the trial will cause one of the chief
arguments. The prosecution contends
that Mrs. Besold was induced TO go TO
the Temescal canyon, above santa
Monica, by her husband during the
early part of July 1t will also contend
that while there Besold shot his wife

FIGHTS FAKE AUCTIONEERS
Captain FIammer Determined to Drive
Out Sharks Who Wait for
Victims

Captain of Detectives Paul Flammer
has declared his intention of fighting
all fake auctions, and has isued warn
ing TO the proprietors of shops con-
Quoting these alleged swindling games.
a great many complaints have re-
Gently been received by the detective
department against auction shops
where the victims claim to have been
lnisled into buying worthless goods for
large amounts.
Investigation by the detectives re-
veals the fact that these so-called auc-
tion places employ men to stand about
the counter and create enthusiasm in
the crowd of on-lookers by extolling the
merits Of everything offered for sale
under the hammer.
One man who recently complained
against these auction shops claims that
he paid $50 for a watch which was not
worth more than SIS at the most extraV-
agant estimate. He was induced to
pay that price for it, he AYERS. because
he heard some one In the crowd of
spectators say ii was valuable gold
Waltham watch. Later he found 1t
was brass, and that the case contained
the very cheapest works.
