U. S. Marine Band, April II.

The United States Marine Band
which is to appear here on Wednesday
April II, is the Oldest musical military
organization in the United States
Starting with sixteen drums and six
teen filters, during the administration
of John Adams, it has developed along
the line of brass, until at present, there
are but two drums, and bass drum
left. The band has further evolved
itself so that it is as much an orchestra
as it is a band.

Dramatic Notes

Blanche Walsh is to play an extended
engagement in San Francisco, using
several Of her former successes, in adj
dition to her new play by Clyde Fitch,
1.-The Straight Road"
An interesting coincidence of the
modern drama is that two successful
writer's for the stage, one in England
and the other in America, should be
the sons OF a man who brought up his
children to shun the theater as "the
gate of hell" This uncompromising
enemy of the stage was John Nitchie
Chambers, who, after sowing his wild
oats in the old country. went to Aus
tralia in search of gold, accepted a po-
sition in the government service, was
converted" by the workers of an evan
gelical sect, married and became the
father of five children, Of whom the
third is Haddon Chambers, the English
dramatist, and the youngest is Kellett
Chambers, author OF '"rhe Butterfly"
in which Miss Lillian Russell is play
ing.
Booth Harrington is engaged on a
play that will satirize the snobbery of
Americans travelling In Europe. Harry
Wilson is collaborating with the author.
1.-THE Silver Box" is the name of Ethel
Barrymore's next seasons play Lionel
and John Barrymore will be in her COM
pany.
An unfinished play, left by the late
Charles Coghlan and which was being
written by the actor for his daughter

POLICE DECLARE
MEN ARE FOOTPADS
SAY THEY HAVE CONFESSED.
TWENTY-FIVE CRIMES
Recovered Diamond Ring and Watch
May Be Part Of Booty Stolen
from Arbueke
Brothers

James Cronin, known as Jimmy the
Rat" among his associates, and r. r..
Supple, the young men arrested Fri
day night on Central avenue and sem
fenced Saturday to fifty days on the
chain gang on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons, are said by the
police to have confessed yesterday that
they are responsible for more than
twenty-five holdups which occurred in
Los Angeles during the last four
months.
Among the robberies to which the
young men are said to have confessed
is the holdup of Walter and Dennis
Arbuckle in front of the Kearney sa-
loon on East Seventh street last De-
cember. valuable diamond ring,
said to have been stolen from Dennis
Arbuckle, has been recovered, while
the watch taken from Walter Arbuckle
has been found in a San Diego pawn
shop.
Emma Boutwell,, the mysterious wo-
man who was arrested in connection
with the case several days ago and
who has refused to give the police any
information about herself, is said to
have been living with Cronin and, ac-
cording to the police is one of the most
notorious confidence women in the
United States. Her picture, or one
bearing a striking resemblance, is in
every large rogues' gallery in the
country and it is believed she Is one
of the shrewdest operators that ever
visited this city. Cronin claims to
have met the woman in this city sew
eral months ago and says he knows
little about her.
Supple is married and lives at 62815
Mateo street. His wife and little child
were in court Saturday when he was
sentenced to the chain gang. So far
they have not been told of his confess
sion. The family is destitute.

"NETTIE THE NEWsGIRL,"
PLAIN MELoDRAMA, is
PLEASING AT THE GRAND

All kinds of plays are required to
please all kinds OF people, but there
are few people who are not pleased
with well presented melodrama. The
name "melodrama" is anathema in
many theaters which regularly serve a
melodramatic bill of fare. AS a matter
of fact, there is not a theater in town
which has not melodrama habit more
or less developed. Even the Mason,
which is supposed to-and does-cater
to the long purses, opened it's season
of 1906-1907 with q melodrama, and the
Auditorium first saw Dick Ferris and
his players in play of that class.
The one theater which offers no ex-
cuses and makes no. pretences is the
Grand. When 1t has melodrama there
which is to say about four weeks in
each month-it is plainly and fearlessly
described as such, and If by chance
the word is omitted from the adVer-
tisements the reviewers supply the de-
ficiency. Which is good business.
Manager Drown believes that melo-
drama reaches a larger class of theater-
goers than does any other style OF play
except vaudeville. Sometimes Grand
Opera house melodramas are-well the
reverse of artistic. but now and then
comes one which stirs the blood and
makes the nerves tingle Such is
fering.
"Nettie" Is real newsie in petticoats,
who can sing, dance, make love- hold a
gun straight and follow the trail of
crime with the unerring instinct Of a
LeCoq. Miss Isabelle Lowe, who plays
the part, is a charming little woman
and a clever actress. Her hair is the
exact shade of the vaunted tresses of
a certain leading lady recently arrived
here. AS a newsie she left only one
regret-that one could not see more of
her. AS an actress she recalls the
charming and lamented Lotta.
II. G. Maddox offers new kind of
stage Dutchman. He Is at least half
way natural, and as such is long
step in advance of the slapstick fra
ternity OF so-called Dutch comedians.
He sang some topical songs which
were new, and failed only when he
tried to do the pathetic A Dutch
comedian should not be expected to

COUNCIL CATCHES
UP WITH WORK
WARD REDISTRICTING is NOW
BURNING ISSUE
At Today's Sessions Garbage, Bill.
boards, Bad Streets, Fiesta and the
Sewer Fund Are Programmed
for Discussion

Today's session of the city council it
is believed will be of shorter duration
than for some weeks, as the council
men have caught up with much of
the pressing legislation.
In the past morning sessions have
been held from 10 till IL, with re-
sumption at and lasting until
o'clock. BY holding meetings of the
committees and of the committee of
the whole a semblance of unanimity
has been reached on mooted questions,
thus shortening inevitable debate.
1t Is probable that the garbage, bill
board, Fiesta donation and outfall
sewer questions will come up in some
form. Legislation in the past has been
insufficient, conflicting or unsatisfac-
tory to some interests and amendments
may be proposed today.
Principal discussion may be ex-
pected, however, on the ward redis-
tricting. Some weeks ago Councilman
Wrenn gave notice that he would soon
call up this ward boundary problem
with a view to enlarging some wards
and cutting down others. 1t is freely
admitted that the recent election shows
conclusively how unequally the lines
are drawn, based on the voting popu-
lation. Councilmen Blanchard and
Healy Republicans, have the smallest
votes in their wards-the Ninth and
Eighth.
Because the action of Mayor Harper
in asking the police as well as all in
terested citizens to send to him re-
ports of bad streets, with a view of
getting action before the Shriners
come, some report may be looked for
concerning the supervision of this
street work by Inspector d. X. Ed
wards of the board of public works.

OPEN MOUNTAIN
CLIMBING SEASON
BIG CROWD CHAMBERS UP MT.
WILSON TRAIL
Shortage of Street Cars Nearly Causes
Several Accidents, and One
Woman Faints in the
Crush

More than three hundred men, women
and children of Los Angeles yesterday
opened the mountain climbing season
by journeying up the old path of the
faithful to the Mount Wilson peak.
From early morning to late at night
little parties left the city for Sierra
Madre. Every car was filled. A COM
bination of costumes, the like Of which
might never again be seen in one place,
made the Pacific Electric depot look
like q crowd of picnic junketers and
section hands had invaded it.
At Sierra Madre these people plunged
into the mountains and lost them
selves. No matter how big the crowd is
old Mount Wilson can accommodate
them all. The old trail is still the best.
The work on the new Wilson trail lead
ing over toward Eatons canyon has
been processing indifferently during
the winter, but extensive arrangements
are being made to get 1t in shape for
the summer.
1t was the old trail that got the trade
yesterday Well known Los Angeles
business men, decked out in leggings or
boots and suits of khaki in various
forms of dilapidation, smoked old and
smelly pipes and indulged their passion
for the mountains to their hearts con-
tent. The weather was perfect. and the
Santa Anita canyon the melting SHOWS
of the mountains were pouring raging
torrent Of Icy water.
Accident Mars Day
The day very nearly terminated in
accident because of the poor car SER
vice. When the crowds bound for the
trail were the heaviest of the year the
cars were cut short instead of in
da6 Whan the tina arrival For
the o'clock car it did not appear. At
that hour the climbers were coming out
of the trail and canyon, and the absence
of the car caused a crowd of more than
two hundred to congregate at the little
Sierra Madre station.
The o'clock car arrived at Very
nearly g. and by that time the climbers
were eager to be away. A rush was
made for the car and many attempted
to board it before it stopped. Two or
three were thrown about and very
nearly missed being hurled under the
wheels.
When the car stopped $50 men, women
and children attempted to board 1t at
once. None wanted to wait and re-
main at Sierra Madre until the next
car arrived. One young woman was
caught in the crowd and so crushed
that she tainted. She was taken on
board the car and word was then re-
ceived to hold the car until the arrival
of the next car.
The next car appeared half an hour
later, and another rush followed. Even
then many were left.
After the first car had started for
Los Angeles the young woman who had
been injured in the rush tainted a
second time, and the car was stopped
and every attention given her until she
revived.
