men and Members Of City
Boards

Fire Commissioner Anthony Schwamm
proved yesterday that he has a greater
influence with the city council than Chief
of Police Ed Kern, though Mr.. Kern left
a councilman's seat to wear the chiefs
uniform.
A few weeks ago Commissioners
Schwamm advocated the purchase of an
automobile by the city for the use of its
commissions, whose members sehve free.
Months ago Chief Kern asked for a
police automobile in which squads of DO
lice could answer rush calls, and, sick
and wounded could be carried.
Schwamm's request was carried out by
the council yesterday, while Chief Kern's
request languishes with the supply COM
mittee.
Acting Chairman Dromgold of the fin
ance committee explained that he thought
the city should have a large auto for the
commissions, the mayor and the council,
maintained by the fire department ana
available for police use when necessary.
The necessary vote was quickly gained
though Messrs. Yonkin and Healy opposed
because they thought the police request
should be granted before that of the
commissioners.

Rev. A. c. Smither Gives Graphic De-
scription of His Recent observa-
tions in the Land of
Palestine

At the meeting of the Los Angeles Min
isterial union yesterday the following Of
ficefs were elected: Rev. Warren Il. Day
president; Rev Frank Dewitt Talmage
first vice president; Rev. Il. A. Healy
second vice president; Rev. A. G. Smither
third vice president; Rev. d. L. jenkins
(re-eleoted), secretary and treasurer.
Considerable discussion arose among the
ministers on the problem presented to
them by the undertakers of Los Angeles
regarding the prohibition of Sunday
funerals.
Drastic measures were not advocted by
some of the ministers with reference to
the conducting of funerals on Sunday
while others maintained that the extra
work was unnecessarily added to their
already hard labors on that day.
The following resolutions were finally
adopted:
'Whereas Representative undertakers
have appeared before this union request
ing action in the matter of Sunday
funerals.
Resolved, That in the judgment OF
yotr committee any needed reform in the
matter should originate with the Under
takers association as far as definite ac-
tion is concerned.
Resolved, That this union will be
pleased to cooperate in any wise ano
practical solution of this problem
Action was taken favoring the protest
started by Rev. G. E. Foster against the
opening Of saloon at Wall and Seventh
streets.
The ministers adjourned to the Fedora
tion Coffee club for lunch and where
they transacted important business.

the mayor and after they had

1t Is stated unofficially that the ques-

needs was the real motive for the trip,
but this the mayo denies.
At any rate the official machine broke
down on the Newhall grade and after a
laborious trip the mayor and police COM

freight train.

WITH THREATENING MURDER

r. ]. Bledsoe, a former employe of the
Gillispie camp in the western part OF the
city, was arrested last night. According
to statements made by the foreman OF the
camp to the police last night Bledsoe be-
came enraged at the attentions offered
the woman cook at the place by one OF

man IL he did not cease troubling her.
The foreman became frightened and APP
piled to the police for protection. IL is
understood he will seek a warrant for
Bledsoe's arrest this morning.
Bledsoe is mild appearing man. After
being arrested he said he had left his
bosition--at the camp and had had no
trouble there.
Bledsoe was taken to the receiving hos
pitali few hours after his arrest and
after being closely questioned was re-
leased.

NEXT MONDAY NEW SIGN
HEARING is SCHEDULED

Mayor A. c. Harper sent a special
message to the, city council yesterday
vetoing the Dromgold sign ordinance.
A delegation of hotel and restaurant
men was on hand to urge an ordinance
freely allowing the use of electric signs,
which is the idea of the mayor also. &.
Counter petitions were filed by the
Municipal league and the Outdoor Art
league protesting against signs being ex-
tended over the sidewalks where they
would interfere with the magnificent sys-
tenn of boulevard el1ctroliers on Los An
ge1es' streets.
The question was laid over until Mon
day afternoon, when an exhaustive hear
ing will be given to all Interested.

ROBBED; DISCHARGED FROM
HOSPITAL; DISAPPEARS

Gay F. Morgan, who was taken to the
receiving hospital late Saturday night suf-
fering from wounds which he said had
been administered by a robber, failed to
return to his home at 2S1 East Thirty
third street after being discharged from
the hospital and his relatives are wor-
ried.
Friends of the man told the police last
night that his wife was suffering with
heart trouble and it was feared news of
his disappearance would kill her.
Morgan was found by Patrolman Green
in a saloon on East Fifth and Central
avenue late Saturday night. He had $59
in his pocket and claimed to have been
robbed of about 500.

Sunday night Resident Manager John
Blaclwoed now is in New York in
search of her successor.
There are numerous stories af1oat con-
cerning the breach between Miss Stod-
Gard and the management which has
made her retirement imperative, and it
may be that the matter will yet be aired
in the courts. Miss Stoddard claims to
have contract from which the usual
two weeks notice" clause has been
emitted, and it is said that she has all
ready consulted an attorney with "a view
to seek in the courts an enforcement OF
the terms of this agreement.
Mr.. B,ackwood's New York trip was
undertaken, it is said, in the hope that
lie might be able to persuade Miss Lii
Ian Albertson to return to her old posi-
ton as leading woman at the Belasco.

financial success and has been with
drawn. Therefore it is popssible that
Miss Albertson may be induced to return
tc Los Angeles, though she was report
ed recently to have other plans in pros
pect
Miss Stoddard's going, moreover, is not
the only change in immediate prospect at
the Belasco. Hobart Van zandt Bos-
worth. the Belascos stage director. finds
himself compelled to take a vacation. Mr..
Bosworth's health. never of the best,
makes 1t necessary that he pass the
winter in higher altitude than that of
Los Angeles and that he give up all
work temporarily. He will not, how
eyer. sever his connection with the COM
pany and hopes to b. able to return by
next spring. In his absence Joseph De
Grasse, formerly stage director of the
Ulrich company, probably will be in
charge of the Belasco stage.
1t is said, too, that recent troubles
between the Belasco management and
John Daily Murphy may soon lead to Mr..
Murphy's retirement though this is not
certain.
Altogether, affairs at the Belesco back
OF the curtain seem to be In a very
much disturbed condition.

LILLIAN BURkHART IS
GIVEN CORDIAL WELCOME

Society with capital S was much in
evidence last night at the Orpheum.
Usually when the social top-notchers go
to the Orpheum they adopt the free and
easy style that conforms with the prin-
ciples on which vaudeville entertain
ments are built. This time society was
decked in its best to do honor to Lillian
Burkhart and the author of her playlet,
Ruth Comfort Mitchell. In every respect
the occasion was a repetition of that
night last June when Mrs. Goldsmith
threw off the mantle of retirement and
reappeared on the stage for the first
time after her marriage. 1t was tho
same procession of f1ower-laden messen-
gers that kept the actress bowling and
smiling through tears of joy, while the
stage was piled high with the loveliest
of floral tributes.

Wednesday. The changes are Tor the
better and the audience last night APP
proved equally the play and the player.
The touch of realism which Lillian Burk-
hart introduces when she comes ON III
a dripping wet kimono after her sup
posed exposure to pouring rain on the
fire escape is enough1to frighten less
courageous actress, and when she reaches
climate less accommodating than this
of California her twice-a-day bath Will
surely lessen her liking for her playlet
Both the author of this charming
sketch and the clever woman who por-
trays the principal role are indebted to
their support for much of the success
of the piece Without in any way de-
tracing from Lillian Burkhart's merits
praise mcst be given to Miss Allegra
Gardner and Warren Ellsworth for the
real touch of comedy they introduce.
Mr.. Van Pelt shows up much better
than last Wednesday afternoon, and in
the course of few performances will
doubtless merge his personality in the
role he plays. At present he lacks nat

good today as it was then. Their special
ty is breaking crockery, performance
in which they indulge with real enthu-
