. PB1NG fashions are, Il possible.
more attractive this year than
ever, and are fairly bewildering
in their variety and colorine, so
that in fact IL is difficult TO decide
among all there are TO decide from.
There are a. usual any number OF
smart costumes with coat and skirt to
match; but this year these are not the
only ones that are smart and there
are q great many more separate wraps
than usual-those made OF cloth. silk.
chiffon. lace and in fact every material
that has ever been known that could
be put into q wrap.
The hslf-itting loose coat effect with
sleeves is for the moment more popu-
lar than anything on the cape or cloak
order and everything seems TO be loose
rather than tight fitting. although a
close inspection shows in the new
models that the lines Of the 6gure are
followed, II not defined; in other words,
while the coats are loose they are not
shspeiess, and st the same time they
are becoming both 10 stout ond slender

almost without exception they are
quite elaborate in detail with lot
OF trimming. and often with two or
three different materials combined in
their composition. They are also not
made on any regulation pattern. and
it would seem as though there were TO
be marked individuality about them.

MOTHER MOURNS FOR
MISSING YOUTH
FRIENDS FEAR WOMAN WILL
LOSE MIND
Goes to Door of Her Home Frequently
During the Night, Convinced
She Hears Footsteps of
Returning Son

Harry Flores, or any one who can fur
nish reliable information as to his safety
can relieve the mind of his mother, whe
Is frantic over his disappearance.
No attempt will be made to force the
young man to return home.
Harry is the son of E. r. Flores OF
51S North Figueroa street, and until
three weeks ago was a pupil at the
Polytechnic high school, He was dis
satisfied with school and longed to &c
to work that he might in time see more
of the country.
1t is supposed when he left home three
weeks ago he Joined one of the survey
ing parties to work on the Owens river,
as he is familiar with that kind of work.
Flores is sixteen years old, tall, dark
eyes and black curly hair. He wore at
the time of his disappearance a light
suit and a light soft hat.
Friends of the family have done all
they could to quiet the fears of the
mother, but their efforts have been in
vain, and some of them fear unless word
of her son is received soon she will lose
her mind.

who kept Mrs. Flores company last
week, "she arises from her bed ara goes

WORKHOUSE ORDERS
EXPECTED TODAY
CITY coUNcILMEN MUST SAY
THE WORD
Will Accommodate Two Hundred Pris-
oners on City Lands and Avoid
Necessity for Building
New Jail

Steps will be taken by the city council
today to authorize immediate construc-
ton of the new workhouse.
Though the name stockade has been
freely applied, Chief of Police Edward
Kern says 1t will be workheuse-noth-
ing else-and he prefers to call it such.
The only opposition so far manifested
10 from Councilmen Clampitt and Healy.
The former represents the Second ward
and many of his constituents object to
having the institution in their ward,
which also harbors the quarantine sta
ton
Councilman Healy says he objects to
spending any more money on makeshifts,
but wants the city's funds used In sub
stantial new jail
The finance committee members are
unanimous in saying that not within
three years will sufficient cash be in
sight to warrant buying jail site and
erecting a building, which should cost
at least 100000. On the other hand the
erecting of the stockade at q cost of pos
sibly $4,000 0he land being now owned
by the city, will afford refuge and
prison for 200 men. These men will do
most of the work in chain gang duty and
their removal there will enable the use
CI the present Jail for years to come, be-
sides furnishing additional space for the
receiving hospital.
Rough drawings have been made show
ing concrete buildings surrounded by a
high fence.
In the Chavez ravine, behind Elysian
park, the proposed site, the detention
hospital plant is located and the kitchen
used for the hospital as well as the heat
ing plant there could easily furnish ia
ci.ities for both the hospital and work
house. The two institutions Will be
thoroughly separated, however.
Los Angeles officials say when this
workhouse is built every hobo, yeggman
and loiterer who comes to Los Angeles
will be sent there and the annual winter
crime carnivals will be reduced.
The rough plans for the workhouse
show a one-story structure 190x67 feet,
with a central court 10Ox15 feet.
This structure will accommodate about
200 men, the cells varying in size but
ranging from six to sixteen prisoners
capacity.
The different classes of inmates such
as drinkers, yeggmen, hoboes, vaga-
bonds and tramps will be separated.
Arrangements for bathing and clean
liness will be installed

CHEWING GUM CUDS' END
is FIELD FOR SLEUTHS
TRY to Find Your Own Under a Res
taurant Table-Former opPo-
nents of Habit Change
I Views

Where do the cuds go? Gum chewing
as an art has been highly developed, for
physicians, beauty doctors and esthetical-
iv-inclined persons failing to impress the
chewers with the danger of contracting
disease early wrinkles and the bovine
appearance of our masticating apparatus,
have ceased their condemnations and new
rules have been formulated showing how
to properly chew the luscious and rub
berry substance.
That the sale of gum is one of the main
assets of cigar stands, drug stores and
corner fruit stands is proved by the
amount kept on hand and it's ever in
creasing decrease 1
But where does all this gum go? Where
is its final resting place?
Few persons have seen piece of gum
thrown into the street, the garbage can
or any place where it would naturally
belong.
Heads of beds, windows and door sills,
mirrors, policemens stars and hat bands
are favorite hiding places. and that they
are p;aces of concealment is shown by
the fact that months afterward the gum
is still found where it was originally
placed, sticking with IL determination
that is an example of steadfas tness and
a continual worry to the busy housewife.
But most of the gum that has become
second hand is found in restaurants and
dining rooms and where a table is found
there will almost invariably be found
gum.
The favorite place used for pasting this
adhesive article of commerce is under
the long counters of restaurants, and
here investigation shows that gum chew
ing is one of the most pronounced habits.
Run YOUR hand under the counter and
see If you can find your own gum.

FITCH MELoDRAMA is
WELL DONE AT BURBANK

"The Cowboy and the Lady" with all
its sparkle of rough cowboy wit ana tne
primal emotions of love and nate, was
rather we'll done by Moroscos players
Yesterday afternoon-done so well tnat
the appreciative audience quite insisted
upon a curtain call at the conclusion u
the performance. :,
Tba trials and tribulations of Teddy
North in his love for his "lady,' Mrs.
Weston, are too well known to require
of recounting here. They unfailingly win
for the hero that devotion from the rem
mime portion of his audience which be-
speaks strongly the romantic streak SO
prominent in the hearts OF all Eve
daughters since the beginning of time.
That William Desmond should meet
with enthusiastic approval through his
breezy, dashing presentation OF the
'dude rancher'' is not surprising, for he
is not only the appealing figure de-
manded of a "hero," but he puts world
of sincerity into his love making, quite
to his artistic credit.
Miss Blanche Hall as the winsom, cap
tivating MRS. Weston" is delightful,
botn her comedy and the more serious
work demanded of her In the closing act
of the play, ringing true.
Mace Greenleaf, Larry" Underwood
and Henry Stockbridge as the cowboys
evoked much mirth by their cheerful
rendition of English as she is spoke" III
the picturesque West of the stage and
their heartfelt devotion to ''the boss"
A. Byron Beasly read the line of the
halfbreed we'll, but strayed from consis-
tency somewhat in his makeup, leaning
to exaggeration Miss Elsie Esmond as
Nudge, Louis Royce as the fiirtatious
dance hall pianist, and Maude Gilbert as
the siren who lures Weston to his death,
all appear to advantage. The play goes
we'll and makes hit with the Burbank

MAN SHOT IN DUEL WITH
OFFICER DIES IN HOSPITAL
Rico Delgardo succumbs, Despite
operation-BattIins with Fellow
Countrymen, Turned Weapon
on Police

Rico Delgado, the Mexican who was
shot late Saturday night at San Pedro
and Commercial streets by Detective
James Hosfck, died at the county hos
pital yesterday.
The shooting took place as the result
of pistol duel between Delgado and two
other Mexicans. Detective Hosick and
two other officers were attracted by the
sound of firearms and when they made
their appearance Delgado turned his
weapon on them. Hosick drew his re-
volver and shot the Mexican, one bullet
entering the abdomen and another the
left side.
The man was taken to the receiving
hospital, where an operation was per-
formed and he was later sent to ths
county hospital. The body is at Pierce
Brothers undertaking rooms. An inquest
will probably be held today.

ARIZONA is
WELL PLA YED
CAST THE BEST SINCE ORIGINAL
PRODUCTION
POPULAR DRAMA RETAINS ALL
ITS CHARM
Has Been Seen Here Many Times, but
Always Is Assured of
Hearty Los Angeles
Greeting

This is not by any means the first visit
of Arizona" at the Grand, for before its
appearance at the Mason last year 1t had
already been seen on Main street. But
whether on Main or Broadway, ARIZONA"
is good for one week out of every fifty
two. and as long as the management
maintains the excellence shown by yes
terday's production the play will be well
coined by managers and patrons alike.
The Arizona" company of this season
Is the best since the original cast. In
some respects it may be considered better
Joseph Green, who plays Henry Candy
this year, Is worthy successor OF Iheo-
dore Roberts. the creator of the role
Lizzie Mccall will be admitted by those
who have seen her to be the best Mrs.
Candy who ever played the role. Frank
Kemble, seen for the first time this year,
as Sergeant Kellar may without prejudice
be compared with Tom Oberle, our own
Tom, who was the originator OF the cnar-
acter The others of the principals are
we'll cast. If there is weakness 1t IS
seen in Tony Mostano, the Mexican va
huero. and the shortcomings in dialect and
mannerisms of Irving J. Lancaster in this
role will be forgiven for the sake OF the
clever "get away he practices in the
last act.
Altogether the play and the players are
pleasing and profitably repay second or
third seeing. The man who built IL
knew his business. He was master OF MS
materials. There are no mere happen-
ings'' in ARIZONA" There Is not char-
acter nor d line without reason. Every
player has an essential part to play ana
every movement of every character ID
guided by definite purpose. There is no
need for the actors in Arizona to ASK:
rs that you?" when they enter the room.
for their reason in entering is TO meet
the person who may be there. The only
accident in the play is the lost letter
found by Lena. The locked door which
nrevents the escape of the lieutenant is
locked by the sergeant to prevent the es-
cane OF the elopers, and in this as in
everything else the pay is as logical and
as seuuental as a game of chess.
Interest in ARIZONA" naturally centers
in the two love stories, that of Lieutenant
Denton and Bonita, and that of the colo
mel and Estrella. When these are settled
to the satisfaction of the audience there 's
a ouick scramble for hats. But the minor
enisode of the Mexican vaquero ana MS
Lena is in it's way just as essential TO the
integrity of the plot as either of the 9TH
ers.
Another notable feature of Arizona
which appeals equally to the critic ana
the public is the fact that the players
cannot be classified as leads, Juveniles,
heavies. comedians, characters, etc. Inc
comedy is equally distributed among the
nrincipals. and the juveniles are as much
of a muchness as The leads. Every play
er has his and her responsibilities, and
perhaps it is this that maintains the
..class'' in ARIZONA" and enables it to
retain it's hold on public favor.
