Tonight viii mark the farewell of
Miss Mary Van Buren,, who has been
the Burbank theater leading woman

part, "The Duchess" in the production
of The sporting Duchess" as her fare

the conclusion of tonights performance
Miss Van Buren will enjoy a several
weeks rest in Los Angeles prepara-
tory to an eastern trip, after which
the noted actress will take a voyage

of the opinion that it is high time for
a little recreation. Miss Blanche Hall,
unquestionably the most popular lead
ing woman tnat has ever appeared in
California, will take her old place In

FIREMEN SURE TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE
BIG FIESTA PARADE

While the fire commissions hands
are tied so far as appropriating any
money for decorative purposes are con-
cerned, Chief Lips of the fire depart
ment is authority for the statement
that the apparatus and men under his
control will be in the Fiesta parade in
all their old-time glory. At least twen-
ty-six different pieces of apparatus
will be in line, and plans for decora-
tions are already made.
In former years the fire departments
showing in the big parades was one
of the pleasing features of the Fiesta
display, and when the word went forth
that no fire engines and hose carts
would clang their way along the line
of march the many friends of the de-
partment felt that they would be losing
one of the fondest remembrances of
former Fiestas. Now, however, it is
certain that the department will shine
in all its old-time glory and the men
in that division of the city service
are correspondingly happy.

Railway men believe that President
r. II. Hartman of the Southern Pa

President Hartman will visit San

that he will stop over in Los Angeles
to give the final depot orders.
Long ago plans for a S75O,OOO struc-
ture were made, but they have not
vet passed the paper stage.
San Francisco, Sacramento and
Berkeley are all listed for fine new
depot structures, the combined cost of
which will exceed a million dollars.
So great has the transcontinental
travel grown in late years and so rosy
is the outlook that further delays will

FLOWERS PLEDGED
FOR DECORATIONS
CLERKS WILL KEEP STORES
IN BLOOMS
Chairman Blanchard Overcomes Last
Difficulty in Insurng That Bios
SONS VIII Be RepIenished
Every Day

Public spiritedness on the part of the
clerks employed by the big department
stores of Los Angeles will result in a
display of fresh floral beauties in the
decorative features during Fiesta week
that will rival anything of the kind
ever attempted, whether in California
or a foreign cline. An appeal by Chair
man Blanchard of the decorative COM
mittee yesterday had its desired ef-
feet, and in nearly every one of the
larger downtown retail establishments
those employed there promised that If
the management would do the work
they would furnish the flowers.
This spirit on the part of the en-
ployes does away with the chief diff
Guilty that stood in the way of sue
cessful carrying out of The Herald s
scheme of floral decorations for Fiesta,
lack of fresh flowers. Mr.. Blanchard
and his competent and enthusiastic as
sistants have been racking their brains
for days past in an effort to find some
means whereby the floral ornamental
tions and embellishments of the stores
and windows would last from day to
day, and now the chief objection to the
scheme of beautifying the city is over
come.
Greenery Not Expensive
While the stores will be provided
with fresh flowers from day to day the
committee in charge of the street deco
rations must content themselves with
moss and baskets of fresh earth to
keep the flowers on the streets from
whitening and fading away after the
first day. Inquiry into the cost of the
various designs of baskets and fern
balls reveals the fact that they can
be purchased with but a small outlay
of money, and the committee in charge
will eXpend no great sum in providing
the floral embellishments with proper
receptacles.
The floral decorative committee held
an enthusiastic meeting yesterday and
the plans for a successful scheme to
beautify the city met with the approval
of all. Now that these plans are TAX
ing definite shape and receiving the
unqualified support of the merchants
the committee feels that it's work is
/ ma measure done, but will not Stacker
in energy for an instant before they
see the city as 1t should be to receive
the crowds attendant on La Fiesta
de las Flores.
A busy session has been planned fol
| the committee today, when Chairman
| Blanchard will appoint subcommittee
! to call upon the merchants and advise
! them as TO the best plan of decorating
! Any information that viii assist In the
work in hand will be gladly volunteered

Will be greatly relieved of the respon.

WOMAN SW|NDLER
BEATS BOARD BILL
Gets Two Weeks Free Feed at Popu-
lar HoteI-DetectlVes Look
for Pretty Flimflam
Artist

All efforts to locate the mysterious
woman "flimham" artist, who kept the
members of the local police depart
ment on tenter hooks for several
weeks, have so far been unsuccessful,
and it Is now thought by the detec-
tives who worked on the case that she
has left for pastures new.
The last clew to the woman was
brought to the attention of the officers
yesterday when two members of the
detective force were notified that a
woman had skipped from a local hotel
without paying a board bill OFFICERS
were sent to the place, and upon ar
rival there were greatly surprised to
hear that the woman the hotel pro-
prietor sought answered in every way
the description of the mysterious wo-
man who led them such merry chase
while pursuing her victims.
Whether the woman left Los Angeles
when she departed from the hotel. or
simply changed her abiding place is
unknown to the police, but they hope
before long to be able to gain some
clew to her present whereabouts.
Is a Smooth Article
This woman is said by the detectives
to be one of the smoothest confidence
workers and short change artists who
has ever operated in Los Angeles She
Is described as being exceptionally
pretty a blonde and about 28 years
of age
Her methods of working are the
same as those used by many other
'fimfiam' artists, but she relies more
on her smile than quickness of hand.

criticises Commission

BY ASSOCldted TTeS5.
PITTSBURG, April 26.-The person
mel of the interstate commerce COM
mission was criticised by w. A. Terry
general freight agent of the Pittsburg
& Lake Erie road, in an address at
the International dinner of the Traffic
club of Pittsburg. Mr.. Terry thought
1t queer that a body should assume
to regulate the relations of railroad
and shipper and yet not have in its
membership a single representative of
either interest. In any event the COM
missioners should, he said, have as
sociated with them in an advisory
capacity men who could supply the
necessary knowledge.
Another address was given by NJ. E.

rectors of the Big Four system.

their craftsmen in all parts of the
country, will lend a willing hand in
arranging the decorations.
Many of the smaller business houses
rely on their clerks for their window
decorations and do not keep a regular
decorator in their employ. Many of
these storekeepers have wondered how
they were going to keep abreast of
their more wealthy competitors in the
matter of decorations, and feared their
simple efforts would not show up we'll
in comparison with those Of the great
stores.
Offer Expert Services
Their worry is now at an end as, with
the generous thoughts which always
surge from their breasts when the well
fare of Los Angeles is to be taken into
consideration, the merchant princes of
the city have advanced a plan which
will remedy this and also make mat
ters much easier for their brother
tradeSmen.
The new plan is for the proprietors
of the large stores to grant leave of
absence to their decorators for such
length Of time as is necessary for them
to instruct the clerks in the smaller
stores in regard to arranging the deco
rations and, where it is necessary, to
themselves arrange the flowers ana
bunting instead of leaving the work 10
inexperienced hands.
When this plan was proposed at the
meeting of the committee yesterday it
met with instant approval, and 1t Is
probable the decorators will be called
into consultation by their employers at
once and instructed in their wishes. 1t
is the desire of the employers to make
those decorators a subcommittee and
allow them a much laewaV q theU lilo
in the matter of decorations.
Offer Prize for Decorations
Arthur Let's, proprietor of the Broad
way department store, brought forth q
plan yesterday which met with the ap-
proval of the other member of the com
mittee.
Mr.. Let's plan was to offer prizes to
the storekeepers that show the best
decorations on the front of their stores.
There will be four prizes offered. Each
will be a beautiful silver cup. one for
each of the principal business streets
from Main to Hill streets. 1t is thought
that with prize of this nature to work
for the merchants will take a much
greater interest in their store decora-
tions and that much better results Will
follow.
The matter of decorating the streets
during the week was given a great deal
of consideration by the members OF
the committee, and It is probable that
Los Angeles will have four great white
ways during the Fiesta week.
If the plans of the committee work
out satisfactorily each of the four prin-
cipal business streets, with the cross
streets connecting. them, will be lighted
| and decorated in a manner fit to delight
the eye of any guest.

Canine Hero Battles With BulI That
10 Tramplins Victim.

SIT b.
But for the interposition Of a
strange dog, which suddenly appeared
upon the scene, Caro- Kastella undoubt-
eddy would have been killed by a mad
bull which attacked her as she was
crossing a pasture on the farm Of
Jacob Ask, "a Walton.
The bull attacked the young woman
without warning, lunging at her and
striking her just above the heart. She
fell senseless to the ground and the
savage animal then proceeded to kick
and paw at her PROSTATE body. A
strange dog suddenly appeared in the
pasture and attacked the bull from
behind. This diverted its attention
from the young woman, and while the
dog and bull were engaged in a ter
rife battle, she, having meanwhile re.
gained consciousness, managed to
crawl out of tho field.
An examination by a physician dis
closed the fact that Miss Kastella
sustained fractures Of two ribs and
was badly lacerated and bruised about
the body. 1t is not yet determined
whether she sustained internal in
juries. If she did not, her recovery
Is anticipated.
