EARLY MAID CAUSES WILD
BURGLAR FRIGHT AT HOME
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NE WYORK, April 13.-Dr. William
T. Klein, of No. 712 East One Hundred
and Thirty-eighth street, hired new
cook two days ago-Nora Lonergan--
who was just off the boat from Ireland.
Nora made herself at home at once,
and was instructed in the mysteries
of an alarm clock. The doctors fam
lily rise early, and it was necessary
that Nora be in the kitchen raking out
the fire by 5 a. m.
when the bell rings, run for the
Kitchen" explained the doctor to the
cook. Nora said she would. She pro-
ceeded with her Investigations of the
alarm clock after she got to her room
and got things twisted.
The alarm clock went off with a bang
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and
Nora, true to orders, made a rush for
the kitchen. She raked down the range,
cupboard full of tins and ground the
coffee.
Upstairs Mrs. Klein awoke with
start. She aroused her sleeping hus-
band and together they listened with
awed breath. Nora was just then
wheeling out the kitchen table.
"Burglars!" concluded the doctor and
MS WIG ln6 DredlI. 140 uOc-
tor crept stealthily to the telephone.
Mrs. Klein took refuge in the bed COW
ers.
Come quick" whispered the doctor
to the Bronx police headquarters.
Smash in the basement door and nab
the burglars"
Twenty cops were aroused from sleep
at the Alexander avenue station and
surrounded the Klein house. Sergeant
Thompson at their head, smashed open
the basement door. Down the hall
they rushed.
Hands up!" yelled the sergeant.
NOW what do ye think OF that?"
cried Nora, as she emerged from the
furnace cellar. The Kleins came down
stairs and Nora tried to explain, but
she had to produce the alarm clock
as an exhibit.

MUSHET ARGUES
OVER $3.50 ITEM
Finance Committee, Unable to Settle
Difference, Lays Question Over
for a Week-TaIk Over
Auto Bill

City Auditor Mushet yesterday before
the committee on finance opposed pay
ment OF a printing bill for his own
office because Of a difference of opin-
ion over $1.50.
Postal cards were printed for the
auditors office and Clerk Bert Farmer
of the supply committee gave the work
to Burkhardt 81 Co. for SIS. Mr..
Mushet afterward heard that the work
would have been done for $3.50 by
other printers, hence he argues against
alfNwing the same to avoid establish
ing a bad precedent.
The committee finally laid the bill
over for a week.
Auditor Mushet also reported that he
had held up two demands against the
Gamewell telegraph service which in
stalled the fire alarm apparatus. Sup
plies for this service are furnished by
the Gamewell company, which con-
trolls the patents. Under the law bids
must be advertised for supplies over
$500, but members of the fire board
and of the council say that advertis-
ing would be a waste OF money, as
only one company handles the sup
plies.
A financial iEaif which no department
can trace has also turned up in re-
pair bill for aL on.obiles asgregating
k1S7. This was work done in 1906 and
apparently no one can be found who

SAFETY MEASURE
IS REMODELED
Space Demanded by Municipal Bodies
for Clear Crossings Is Reduced
from Forty to Twenty
five Feet

Another effort is to be made Monday
to pass an ordinance to keep corners
clear of vehicles so that persons get
ting on and off street cars can get
about without danger and be constant
ly in the sight of motorman and con-
ductor.
The Municipal league and the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
favor the measure, which this time calls
for twenty-five feet of clear space in
stead Of forty feet, as proposed some
weeks ago.
The letter on the subject which
reached the city clerk yesterday was
as follows:
Honorable City Council At the
joint meeting of special committee
from the Municipal league and the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation an ordinance was adopted to be
submitted to your honorable body with
the request that it pass.
1.-The object of the ordinance is to
safeguard the public in alighting from
and reaching street cars in the con-
gested business section.
"The ordinance recently repealed by
you and the one now submitted are
identical, with the exception that the
one for which your approval is re-
QuoSleu Keeps lAl0 SliOOlS NAOolt AOA
twenty-five feet from the corners of
any intersection, instead of forty feet
in the one adopted by your honorable
body February 26, 1907"
The proposed ordinance follows:
"Section 1. It shall be unlawful for
any person to hitch any horse, mule
or other animal, or to leave standing
any bicycle. motorcycle, automobile,
buggy carriage, wagon or other We
hicle with or without animals attached
thereto upon any street upon which
street car or interurban railway cars
are running or operated, within twenty
five feet OF either side line of any
street crossing, intersection or termin-
ating in such street or within twenty
five feet OF either s"eh side lines ex-
tended across such streets at right
angles
'See. 2. Any person who shall vio-
late any OF the provisions OF this or
dinance shall be deemed guilty Of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine not
exceeding $50 or by imprisonment in
the city jail for period not exceeding
twenty-five days. or by both such fine
and imprisonment.
"Sec. 3. This ordinance is urgently
needed for the immediate preservation
OF the public peace, health and safety,
and the city clerk shall certify TO its
passage by a two-thirds vote OF the
council, and cause IL to be published.

COUNCIL DIVIDED
ON SOCIAL CLUBS
Wallace Argues That Licensing VIII
Largely Increase clty's Drinking
Places, Despite Mayors
Recommended

Social clubs were again subject OF
debate with councilmen yesterday, the
committee of the whole being unable to
reach an agreement as to what course
to recommend.
Mayor Harper in his message urged
that monthly license of $25 be ex-
acted from these clubs which so far are
not under police supervision.
Councilman Wallace yesterday spoke
warmly against the idea of licensing
them. His view is that 1t will tend TO
largely increase the list of clubs and
consequently, drinking places in Los
Angeles.

Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Chicago Symphony Orchestra
T0 1E crowning musical event of this
season will be the visit of the cele-
brated Chicago Symphony orches-
ira under the direction Of Alexander
Won Fielitz, director and composer COM
ing to this city next Friday and Sat-
day nights, April 10 and 20, and NATL
nees Thursday, Friday and Saturday
at Simpson auditorium.
This is an orchestra of sixty, four vo-
cal soloists and three Instrumental
solists. Won Fielitz was one OF the
leading conductors Of the grand opera
in Berlin and at Naples and has de-
voted himself to the present organiza-
ton for the past year. His programs
are highly spoken of and his work Is
considered as above the average. Franz
Wagner, the cello soloist is member
Of the organization. Mr.. Foerstel is the
concert master. Elaine de Sellem, who
sang corresponding roles with FRITZ
Scheff, appearing last season with Max
Bendix, is the contralto of the organi-
zation. Nine. Marie Zimmermen will
sing the soprano role in the Creation"
and also In "Hiawatha's Wedding
Feast" The tenor, e. c. Towne, Is one
Of the best known in America. The
basso is DR.. Hugo Schussler.
At the Friday afternoon concert of
the Los Angeles Symphony orchestra
at the Auditorium the music lovers of
Los Angeles celebrated the close of the
first decade of symphony seasons in the
southwest. Los Angeles musicians have
reason to be proud of this anniversary
as an historical event of no little inl-
portance. Local enthusiasts are con-
fident that the next decade will be one
of unparalleled musical activity, and
the symphony concerts will be estab-
lished on a secure financial basis.
In the musical life of the southwest
country the Symphony orchestra has
done a magnificent work for culture,
and it deserves the support of all who
have the greater good of Southern Cali
fornia at heart.
At the final concert Friday afternoon
the Womens orchestra attended in a
body, the guests of Harley Hamilton,
director of both organizations. The
women's orchestra, by it's successful
concert to Mr.. Hamilton, has made it
possible for the popular director to
make an extended trip to the great
musical centers of Europe this sum-
mer. Mr.. Hamilton will leave In May,
and during his absence will work for
the best interests Of both the Symphony
and the Women's orchestras.
Friday was also the first time in the
history of Los Angeles that a great
organ solo was heard with orchestra
accompaniment Archibald Sessions
played the great Temple organ.

Penalty of S29,240, 900.

Chicago, H., August 3-Judge Landis, in the United States dis trict court today, imposed a fine upon the Standard Oil company of Indiana of S29, ,240, ,000, the max imum amount upon each of 1, ,462 counts of the indictment on which that company was recently con- victed of rebating.
 Judge Landis recommended that call be issued for a special grand jury which is to consider the other party to the relating operations of which the Standard Oil company was found guilty, and it is therefore probable that within a short time proceedings will be commenced against the Chicago X Alton railroad for the alleged commission of similar offences.
