TIE INGLESIDE.

. a Ogilvie, in The London Outlook
When the shadows downward glide
Fancy rules the ingieside,
And within the glowing fire
Lie the dream fields OF Desire
Brighter than the lighted lamps
Clean the stars on far-on camps,
Warmer than the pine-log glow
Wait the lips OF long ago
There is not a lover fair
But her face is pictured there,
There is not a comrade true
But goes redly riding through.
There is nc'er a dream OF fame
But takes shape in yonder flame,
There is ne'er a song of love
But is sung in yOn red grove.
Soft and gray a clnder falls:
Camp and grove and castle walls
Fade away in dust and flame
With our dreams of love and fame;
Yet, when shadows downward glide
Fancy rules the ingleside,
And we find amid the fire
Dream flowers OF the old Desire

MEXICAN HANGING
FIXED FOR MAY a
Adelfino AIbitre Must Pay the Death
Penalty, but He Laughs at
Fate and Seems Indif-
ferent

Judge Smith of department one of the
superior court yesterday signed the
death warrant of Adelfno Albitre and
the official document was mailed to
the warden of San Quentin peniten-
tiary naming the day of execution as
May "a.
Albitre does not know what day he
will be hanged and does not care. Of
all the Indifferent and insolent prison.
ers the county Jail has ever harbored,
Albitre Is said to be the worst. He
has shown no interest in any of the
arrangement for his execution.
When he was called to trial in de-
partment one of the superior court he
laughed at the witnesses. When a de-
fense-was called for, he alone went to
the witnesses stand and told what he
knew of the tragedy, giving only the
minor details and refusing absolutely
at the moment of telling of the actual
tragedy to say another word.
When the jury returned the death
verdict against him he laughed and
with sneer, the little Mexican walked
from the court room, his only word of
regret being that he wished he might
see his little girl, the only one for
whom he ever cared.
When Judge Smith called Albitre be-
fore him for sentence and overruled
a motion for new trial, Albitre
laughed and scoffed. When the judge
read the death sentence and the audi
ence in the court room was dumb with
the horror of the sentence Albitre
tossed his head and grinned and said,
Thanks, judge. that's all right"
Since he has been in the death cell
at the county Jail Albitre has been I'M
usually cheerful. He eats regularly,
he sleeps as an innocent child and
laughs and jests at his fate.
Yesterday he was told that for the
murder of his common law wife Fra
bicsca Ramirez, he had been finally
condemned to death and that the judge
had just signed the death warrant. He
grinned and asked for his supper. He
did not even ask what day the execu-
ton would be, simply remarking that
he did not care when it took place so
long as he was sure to be on hand for
the hanging.
1t is probable that Albitre will be
taken north today with Suttle and Gro
min, two fifteen-year term highway
men and the trio of desperadoes will
be carefully guarded by squad of
officers.

NEW PLAY DEPICTS
EARLY CALIFORNIA
"UNDER THE BEAR FLAG" IS
BOOKED AT BURBANK
DR.. c. w. Baehman, Los Angeles Man,
Is Author, and Critics Predict
Production VIII Be Well
Received

Under the Bear Flag" a delightful
drama of the early days Of California,
written by DR.. c. w. Bachman, will
be produced at the Burbank theater
next week.
The piece is romantic military
drama and deals with the Bear Flag
revolt, the most romantic portion of
Californian history-a period Of twenty
six days, during which Alta California
was under the rule of a party of ad
venturers, members of Capt. Fremonts
army.
Not daring to run up the Stars and
Stripes, these men, under the leader
ship of William p. Ide, created a flag
of their own.
Upon a white field a large grizzly
bear, facing a red star, stood passant,
while across the bottom ran a red
stripe. This Bear Flag was run up
June IA, 1916, and unit July 8 blew over
the town of Sonoma, then a small mill
tary station, when it was replaced by
the Stars and Stripes.
The story tells of the capture of
Sonoma by these men, the sending of
Col. Vallejo and his son, Don Salvador,
along with Judge Leese, as prisoners to
Suffers fort-there to remain until the
end of the war which followed. During
the action of the drama two young
Yankee soldier boys of Fremonts COM
mand are captured by a party of
Spanish soldiers under Gen. Carrillo,
are tried by court-martial, sentenced TO
be hanged and are saved from an ig-
nominious death by the timely arrival
of party of Bear Flag men with an
exchange of prisoners. The ringing Of
the Angelus forms a pretty and effective
picture for the climax of the secand
act. Three pretty love stories run
through the piece and reach happy end
ings.
Quaint and truly natural are the
characters of this sweet old California
picture, when the Dons were struggling
against dissolution which they knew
must come to this fair land of theirs,
when the Gringo once gained a foot
hold among them. The piece abounds
with bright comedy and pathos.
The scenery is all of the adobe days
type of architecture, at once artistic
and picturesque.
The drama is in four acts, with a long
cast of historical characters, all more
or less we'll known for the part they
took in the action of that period. A
vein of religious reverence so dear to
the heart of the old Spaniard runs
throughout the piece.
Under the Bear Flag" which gives
promise Of being the best and truest
picture of early California life so far
written, will be given an elaborate pro-
duction by Mr.. Morosco.
The play is dedicated to the Native
Sons of the Golden West.

of ticket spectators. Yet the pigs

platforms lanking tho big center ring,
and one of their accomplishments or

Chester Thompson.
The Great Trained Goose
Naturally Louis Hauser, who is
down for a trained pig act, wonders
how his porker will compete with the
professionals in the swine line, and the
only consolation he has is that the
betting at present is about even. Her

with his trained goose, is about the

are keeping tabs on the local talent say

the goose has learned many new tricks
under his clever management.
Selection of the band which will give
concerts before and during the show,
and will enliven the big after-show in
the main tent, includes, so far seven
soloists of exceptional ability, in addi-
ton to well-known bandmen of Los
Angeles and other sections of Southern
California.
Big Delegations Coming
The tide of letters announcing the
oncoming of the Shriner thousands for
the May festival week continues to
pour in to Potentate Flint

Al Koran of Cleveland, Ohio, sent de-

delegations will descend on Los Angeles

blare OF trumpets. j. e. Mckee is
chairman Of the pilgrimage committee
of the Newark Shriners, and the Cleve-
land visitors will come under the pro-
tecting wing of Potentate II. ID. Morgan.
The Cleveland itinerary includes a
tour of the middle west and of the
northwest, with a return through
southern Canada. The route of the
Newark delegation has not been COM
pleted, but will be similar to those of
the New York delegations.

LONG BEACH. Nov. 27.-With large

Miller manager for the National Lum-
ber company of Terminal Island, late
last night carted back to West Long
Beach $4,000 feet of lumber he sold
several months ago to the California
Cottage Construction company.
Surprised almost beyond expression
were the officials of the company when
they found this morning that practi-
cally every whit of their yard stock
had been removed.
Miller said today he had never been
paid for the lumber and that he had
heard the company was insolvent
Fearing a new company would take
over it's affairs and that long legal
struggle would ensue before he could
regain the stock or secure the money
for it. he decided upon the plan OF
moving the lumber under cover OF
night.

to his men before they started upon the
task of removing the thousands of feet
of stock but if I am you go right

EVIDENCE lMMATERIAL;
PERJURY CASE DISMISSED

On the ground that his alleged false
statements were not material to the case
in question, C. M. Lincoln, charged with
perjury, was dismissed yesterday by
Judge William James on writ of
habeas corpus.
Lincoln was accused of swearing falsely
in deposition which he made regarding
the divorce suit of Mrs. Augusta j.
Hurth against e. G. Hurth. Lincoln
stated he had not seen or been in the
company of Mrs. Hurth at Catalina
island when they were there in Septem-
ber, although a number of witnesses tes-
titled they had seen the couple in COM
pany on numerous occasions.
Twice the case has been taken over
the head of the justice court to the
superior court on writ of habeas cor
pus, and this time the writ was sustained
on the ground of non-materiality.

CLAIM GIRL RECEIVED
STOLEN JEWELRY
Young Man Charged with Stealing
Watch from Friend Is Held to
Answer 60 Superior
Court

Charles Jones, arrested some time ago
on charge Of grand larceny, was taken
before Justice Fl. A. Pierce yesterday and
was held to answer to the superior court.
There he will be called upon to explain
the source from which he obtained the
bracelet and stick pin he is said to have
presented his sweetheart in Sawtelle.
Jones is charged by former friend.
Ben Carfsozo, with the theft of $47. Ac-
cording to the story told by the complain
ing witness Carisozo became intoxicated
and his friend Jones took him to his
room at Third and Broadway and put him
to bed.
Carisozo says ne had $47 in the pockets
of his trousers. These Jones helped to
remove. The next morning when Cariso-
20 awoke he says the money was gone
He claims his frienu had disappeared
along with the money, but returned later
in the day with gold watch on his per-
son, which he did not have the day before.
Jones said yesterday the watch had
been given him by friend. The friend
was produced by the prosecuting witness,
however, and said he had not presented
the accused man with the watch.
Jones was returned to the Jail, being
unable to produce bail.
