CLEVER RUSE

Long, SIow-Moving
Line

There is more than one way of skin
ming cat; so, too, there is more than
one of getting theater tickets when a
long line awaits and you are at the
wrong end of it. A man demonstrated
this at the Auditorium yesterday.
All the last two weeks long lines have
been hugging the box office and it has
been necessary to wait fifteen to thirty
minutes to buy tickets. At another
window orders sent in by phone are de-
livered and this window is generally
free from crowds.
A man in hurry went to the theater
yesterday. He saw the long line and
then he saw the uncrowded window. He
caught the idea. Going into Manager
Berry's office across the lobby he called
up the box office, twenty-five feet
away, and asked for the tickets he
wanted They We're withdrawn from
the rack and he was asked when he
would call for them.
In about three seconds" said he.

Charles Matson was arrested on sus-

on North San Pedro street after he
had tried to sell some worthless jew
Gag 60 the occupants of "a Japanese
boarding house at ia North San Pedro
Fl.
The officer saw Matson coming from
the house and his peculiar actions
aroused his suspicious. When ques-
toned what business he had there
Matson said he was a contractor and
had been trying to employ japanese
help. The officer required Matson to
go with him to the house, where the
information was obtained that Mat
son had attempted to sell some imi-
tation gold lOckets, stating that they
We're worth $25 each. but that he had
no use for them, and would sacrifice
them at a low price.
When searched Matson was found to
have some of the lockets concealed in
his shoes, besides long, fine link chains.

SENDS REPORT
TO WASHINGTON
Capt. A. A. Fries Forwards Recon-.
mendation on Channel, but Nature
of His Suggestions Is Not
Made Public

Capt. A. A. Fries, in charge of the
governments corps of engineers, has
forwarded to Washington his recon-
mendations regarding the request of
the Banni"gs and the Kerckhoff- Cuz-
ner Lumber company to close Boschke's
slough at San Pedro, between the main
land and Smiths island.
Although Capt. Fries has not made
public his recommendation, it is thought
by the protestants that 1t will be against
the closing of the slough.
Originally he recommended that the
request be granted, but later he discov-
cred that the city of San Pedro owned
considerable frontage along the slough,
and also that the slough was an inlet
to the mainland and used by numerous
small craft which could not secure safe
anchorage at any other point.
G. E. Smith, Henry r. Smith and e.
w. Clemmer have asked permission to
fill and build a bulkhead in front of
block 16, between Miles and Banning
streets, Wilmington. and which will
abut upon the Southern Pacific tracks.

insurance men whose methods of doing
business will not admit of the declara-

newspapers to attack Fitzsimmons and
their dirty work ruined his business. 1t
