MUSIC AND DRAMA
Edith P. Rounds Organ Recital

One of the features of the musical
season was given yesterday afternoon
at Christs church in the form of an
organ recital given by Edith r. Smith
of Redlands. Mrs. Smith is better
known to the musical profession as
Edith Rounds, organist, student of
Middleschulte. The opening number,
Theme With Variations" by Thiele,
was undoubtedly the greatest piece Of
organ work yet heard in this city.
At all times Mrs. Smith showed per-
feet control of the instrument and the
audience present was surprised that
such a variety of work could be pre-
sented through the medium of this
much abused but little known instru-
ment.
"The Pilgrims Chorus" from Tam
hauser was familiar to most of the
audience and naturally received the
larger share of praise. "Saint-Saens
Fantasie" was cleverly rendered, and
Dubois "Marche Triomphale" was a
gem of perfection.
The vocalist was Carolyn Won Benzon,
lyric soprano, whose work is new to
the music lovers of Los Angeles. Mrs.
Won Benzon is most excellent vocalist
and presented Haydn's with Verdure
Clad" (from the Creation) in a most
artistic manner. Connen's Come Unto
Me" as a second vocal number, was
given with much feeling and showed the
singer to be mistress Of the vocal art

FIFTY bad" BOYS
MUST EXPLAIN
Twenty-one Lads Arrested During the
Past Five Days Will Be Ar
raigned In Juvenile Court
Today

More than flftv bad" little boys,
twenty-one Of whom are charged with
thievery will be before Judge Wilbur
of the juvenile court this morning to
explain their actions and escape If they
can being sent to the reform school,
The twenty-one lads have been ar
rested during the past five days by
the local police. The remaining young
sters are boys who have accounting to
make before Judge Wilbur, or who
have charges hanging over them for
numerous offenses, and the court is
anticipating one of the busiest sessions
of it's history in the juvenile line this
morning.
One Of the boys to be on the stand
for examination is the son of Captain
Hall, erstwhile captain of the Rover,
a sloop made famous by the Dora
Bennis escapade. Captain Hall was in
Los Angeles yesterday and will be in
court this morning to speak for his
boy. The lad is IA years of age and
lives at Pasadena. Some of the at
tentions which go far to molding the
futures of children were missed with
the youthful Hall, and his father is
heartbroken over his sons conduct.
THE boy is not just right in his
L
of the Rover yesterday He has been
as well reared as possible, but he has
a tendency to get into scrapes and
will testify in his behalf in court"
The Hall boys case promises to at
tract considerable attention and many
witnesses from Pasadena will be pres
ent.
TWenty-one Charged with Theft
OF the twenty-one youngsters cap
tured and held under charges of theft,
a thorough examination will be made.
Never before in the history of the local
juvenile court have there been as many
serious charges among the boys filed
within one week. These gangs have
been captured by special officers In
various parts of the city and the police
are now confident that most of the
bad boys are in custody.
Petty burglaries, thefts of anything
they could get their hands on and even
one highway robbery are charged to
the infantile band.
Some of the boys are repentant and
fearful, others boastful of what they
have accomplished and others fearful
of the consequences, while the parents
of all of them are planning desperate
defense to keep their boys out of the
reform school.
I'VE OIL lHe DOyS captured are nelQ
on a charge of stealing a horse and
buggy, driving about the town with
it and finally deserting the team. Four
others are held under charges of having
broken into and rifled several cigar and
candy stands and with having eaten
or smoked the plunder. Others are all
legged to have robbed houses both dur
ing the day and night and the most
severe examination possible will be
made. Up to the present time accord
ing to the statements Of the probation
officers, crime among the boys had
reached minimum point and the ses-
sions of the juvenile court had become
unusually short because of the lack of
prisoners.
The probation officers are at the
present time unable to account for the
sudden and unusual number of arrests
of boys, many of whom have been un-
der careful watch for several months.

In the character of Dick Carewe, Los

FUNNY STUNTS
AT CARNIVAL

The preparations for a baseball car
nival such as has never been seen in
the city, to be held on New Years
Day, for the benefit Of the Transpacific
Yacht fund, are going on rapidly. The
burlesque features will be the most
prominent, though a Floradora sextet
in costume should prove of great in
terest, as prominent business men will
take part.
The committee which has the matter
in charge is as follows:
C. F. Chillingworth, Mamie Phil
lips, A. L. c. Atkinson, IS. A. Walker,
Ed. Duisenburg, George Fuller, Harry
Cobb, ]. w. Doyle and john Soper.
Special committees have been ap-

Arrangements: Sam Walker, Harry
Cobb, George Fuller; finance, Mamie
Phillips; grounds, John Soper; adver-
Using, J. w. Doyle; advisory, A l.. e.
Atkinson and C. f. Chillingworth.
The main features will be copied
from those of similar entertainment
which was given for the benefit of the
Actors Fund in New York, and a
burlesque baseball game, with ball
twenty times the size of an ordinary
baseball and enormous bats, will be
features. Other stunts of the most in
teresting kind will be arranged and
there should be good time for all.

Company.

The work on the new schooner which
is being built to represent this Ter
ritory in the coming race between
San Pedro and this port is progress
ing rapidly under the guidance of Alec

most convenient form, and he may be
found there almost any night, even
till midnight. working over the1 plans
and determining just what wiz make
the new vessel faster or better.
In the work of actual construction
| Lyle has been by no means idle. The
Honolulu Iron Works has the job OF
casting the keel now under way, and
it will be completed as soon as pos
sible. The fact that the big iron-keel
will weigh twelve tons and viii be
| twenty-seven feet long, two feet three
| inches deep and twenty inches wide
shows that it will be no small piece
of work, and it will take week OIL
| more to cool after the casting has been
completed.
A she'd in which the new boat will
be built is now being erected at Soren-
son & Lyle's ship yard, and all the
work will be done there The big piece
| of Northwestern pine which the keeI
will be bolted on has arrived from the
Coast, and is being shaped at the yard
| now glance at it's size makes the
impression of a first-class racer arm in
the minds of all who see it.

STORK TALK AND THE BLUES.

We welcome the latest learned lady
who has assured the world that the
American race is in danger of disap-
pearing. We like to hear earnest doc
trinares disuss this subject of race
suicide. 1t is a sign that we are.
after all, pretty well off, If we can
work up an interest in the fact that
some families on Fifth Avenue have
few children it must be because we
haven't much that is important to en-
gage our attention; it implies leisure
to be filled up agreeably with aca-
demic speculations. When we take
solemnly to lecturing the proletarat
children it means that we have moth
ing of weighty nature on our minds.
The notion that the birth-rate may
be affected by series of tracts is so
naive and diverting that it ought to
Danish pessimism out of hand. Are
you downcast? Have you forgotten
how to laugh? Pause and reflect that
people are delivering lectures and
writing books which are intended, in
all gravity, to keep the stork buster.
If ever race committed suicide il
was more than high time for the act.
The felo de Sc, in fact, must have
been some centuries overdue. If lux
ury corrupt the rich and poverty de-
grade the poor to a degree that stiles
the most elemental human instinct,
the race ought to die. If we Ameri-
can people commit suicide it will be
at least a hundred years after we
have passed the point of contributing
anything valuable to the progress of
mankind But we hope the discus
sion will continue. It drives away
