SHAM BATTLE CAUSES
MANAGERS TO QUARREL
Special to The Herald.

VENICE, April 5.-Competition for
attractions between Amusement @Ian-
ayers McCarver and Wiley of the
Venice and Playa del Rey resorts re-
spectively has brought on discussion,
1t Is alleged, among companies of the
Los Angeles national guard that had
practically closed arrangements with
McCarver to present sham battle here
some time during the latter part Of the
month.
Wiley, it is stated, prompted by Nc
Carver's plans, went the Venice man
the limit in bidding for the contest,
which 1t now appears certain will be
held at Playa del Rey. Backed by the
railway company Wiley guarantees
the soldier boys a big cash bonus as
we'll as the use of horses, boats and in
cidentals that the sham battle will call
for. Also free transportation for all
members of the military body.
Speaking for the Kinney company,
Manager McCarver says he feels that
he has not been treated right by the
military organization, as he conceived
the idea and brought about the ques-
ton of holding the contest. The mat
ter has been put before Gen. Wankow-
ski for adjustment, and he in turn has
passed it back to the company captains
to settle between themselves A. J.
Copp, jr., captain of company r, is al
legged to have irtimated in an interview
at Los Angeles yesterday that there
was a strong probability of the entire
negotiations falling through. Should
the event be held it would bring into
action three companies of the Seventh
regiment, the signal corps, one troop Of
cavalry and one troop of the naval
militia.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-06

California's silver -throated nightin-
to her own friends, neighbor= and we'll
wishers last night in Simpson audi
torium in a sweetly girlish pink gown,
then pursed up her lips and straight
way whistled herself into every heart in
her audience. Like bird the delicious
notes poured from her round throat,
her lips dropt pearls" as has been
written of another, and the very air
was vibrant with the gorgeous ca
dences. Staccato and crescendo, forte
and arpeggio, these notes came; the
most difficult and intricate passages
of the scores of masters rippled and
trilled with ease and dashed like a
waterfall down upon her delighted
hearers. And when it was all done the
listeners were fairly dazed and dazzled
with the unaccustomed melody.
And, withal, every composition was
done without a false note; every tone
was as clear and we'll defined, as true
to key and as perfect in melodious
qualities as are those of the most ex-
pert flutist. Carroll McComas is we'll
named; her carols are madS by nature,
and in Voicing them she does so as
merrily and as unconscious of effort
as the birds sing.
The program which this entertainer
offered would have tested the virtuos-
ity of anyone. Beginning with Strauss
difficult "Voce di Primavera," full of
technical difficulties which troubled her
not at all, she moved easily into the
lovely Moszkowski "Serenata," that fa-
vorite so familiar to all. This again
she negotiated without the least effort,
with every note absolute. The Mol
lenhauer Nightingale" polka was ap-
parently very easy for her; it's imi-
tations of a bird she handled as nat
urally as if she had been one. Her
real test came in her next group when
she visited Chopin's "Nocturne," an
other familiar but exceedingly hard
number. 1t presented no obstacles to
her at all; no more did Chaminade's
"L'Ete," and the great Raft "Cavatina"
was equally simple.
Perhaps her virtuosity was even bet
ter shown in the Massenet "Elegie,"
with Mr.. Ovid's cello accompaniment.
This brought the only encore she had
given so far, the well known Mascagni
"Intermezzo." Her final group con-
sisted of two Foote numbers, one writ
ten for her, the GODDARD "Berceuse" and
a David song with flute obligato.

FLORENCE BARKER TO BE
LEADING WOMAN FOR THE
ULRICH STOCK COMPANY

Florence Barker, who has been hav-
ing her first stage experience. with the
Ferris stock company, playing small
parts, is to be leading woman of the
Ulrich stock company ring its sum-
mer season at the Grand. Arrange
ments to this effect were made yester-
day by Manager Drown. She will make
her appearance a week from Sunday,
when the Ulrich season opens in IA
Marked Woman"
Miss Barker is a Los Angeles girl,
born and reared here. She has studied
hard for the stage and what she has
had to do at the Auditorium has been
Of first quality. Her best work was
in character part in 1.-THE Altar of
Friendship" She is one of the squires
and flower girls in "Parsifal." She is
not yet 18, so will doubtless be the
youngest leading woman on the stage.
Miss West, who was to have taken
leads with the Ulrich company, was
unable to come owing to her mothers
illness.
"It is a pretty big undertaking" said
Miss Barker last night, "but I shall
study hard till the opening, and feel
that L can fill the post. 1t was GER
tainly kind of Mr.. Drown to offer 1t
to me, and he will have no cause to
regret it if I can help it. I am pretty
young, but not many take me to be
under %, so perhaps I won't look too
youthful"
Which is a thing an older player
would never have said.

LONG BEACH, April 5.-The tank
room of the bath house was flooded by
thousands of gallons of hot water short
ly before 9 o'clock this morning, when
one of the two enormous tanks, from
which water is supplied to the plunge,
burst with terrific report.
Salt water and salt air had weak
ened the iron bands encircling the

at the same time. The tank was twen-
ty-five feet high, reaching to the lofty
ceiling, and contained 300 barrels Q5, 600

PASADENA, April 5-Dr. s. M.
Green of 555 North Eel Molino avenue
had q race with death this evening
which terminated in his favor. He es-
capped from the affair with bad cut
at the back of his head and his arm
and back injured. The fact that he is
54 years of age makes his case rather
serious.
The accident was combination run
away and street car collision and the
fact that DR.. Green was thrown from
his wagon just before the team coll
ltded with q California street car is in
a measure responsible for his lucky es-
cape, as one of the horses was killed
in the crash and the heavy wagon
was demolished.
The accident was not in any way
chargeable to the crew of the street
car, for the horses simply became be-
Wildered by the glare of the headlight
and instead of turning out for the
car they dashed full tilt into it, crush
ing In the front platform and blocking
traffic.
DR.. Green had only recently pur-
chased the team of heavy horses and
was out trying them. Just how they
became frightened is not known, but
they dashed east on California street.
Ihe driver was thrown out near Oak
land avenue and 1t was near this cross
street that the team ran into the car
DE- Green was taken to the police
emergency hospital where his injuries
were dressed by DIR. Grinnell, who does
not look for particularly serious result

LONG BEACH, April 5.-The cham
ber Of commerce last night adopted a
resolution approving the compromise
offered the city by the Salt, Lake Rail-

Eighth streets and also extend the
privilege of building a 3OO-foot wharf at
the end of each of these streets.
The city council had asked the
