WON'T INTERFERE
WITH PETER PAM
HUMANE OFFICER SAYS NO LAW
WILL BE VIOLATED
Theatrical Managers, However, De-
clare Laws Apply and Demand
Their Enforcement-Mayor
May Grant Permit

Rev. r. W. Reynolds, officer of the
Humane society, will take no action
against the children who are preparing
to present .iome- made version of
Peter Pan" at Cumnock hall tonight.
Mr.. Reynolds explained last night that
the manager of local theater had
sought to compel HIM to prevent the
performance, but added that he had no
intention of doing so.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Reynolds
called up little Miss Ellen Galpin over
the telephone and told ner he had no
idea of interfering with her plans. He
suggested, however, that she obtain a
permit from the mayor in order to avoid
trouble from any other source, and the
child agreed to call upon his honor this
morning in quest of permit.
In speaking of the matter last night
Mr.. Reynolds said:
This children's performance at Cum
mock hall Is quite different from per-
formance in a theater and it does not
come under the law. Recently in our
arrests of theatrical managers we nave
been proceeding under the child labor
law, which cannot be made to apply &c
the Peter Pan show for the very
good reason that the children are mol
employed. They have gone into this
thing for the fun of 1t and not one OF
them will receive penny for theil
| services"
Asked IL an admission fee was to be
charged for the performance Mr.. Reyn-
| olds admitted that to be fact and ad-
| ded further that he did not know tc
what purpose the money was to be de-
voted.
Can Secure Permit .
| "Of course there Is another law we
might proceed under" he continued
| That is the child theater law, but DC
not believe Cumnock hall Is tneatei
within the meaning of the statute
| However to make everything safe nave
advised the children to secure perm,
| from the mayor. The law provides tna'
the mayor may grant a permit in sucn
cases and 1 expect they will have nc
difficulty in securing one
THE theatrical managers do not view
| the matter in this light. They say tha'
what is sauce for the goose should DC
sauce for the gander and intimate tna'
| they will demand the impartial ENFORCE
ment of the statutes II they are 10 oe
enforced at all. They believe tnat
they can invoke the laws against cnurcr
| entertainments and such entertain
ments as the "Peter Pan" show the
measures will be brought into sucn ois'
repute that no further attempt VIII DC
made to enforce them. Being state
laws. however, they can be neigher re-
pealed nor amended until the next ses'
sion of the state legislature. :,
The entertainment at Cumnock nal
tonight will be given under the title Of
eternal Youth. Story of Peter Pan,
The piece has been constructed by Eli
len Galpin herself who wrote 1t from
memory, after seeing Maude Adams II
the Barrie play, and with the sole ldes
| of playing 1t herself, supported py
number of her little friends. some o
the children who will appear are onl!
In years of age.

DRUGGIST SAYS HE WAS
MADE AN OFFICE BOY
Forced to Sweep Out His Own Store
by His Wife-Two Others
Want Divorce De-
crees

j. H. Bellan. druggist on Downey
avenue, told Judge Hutton yesterday that
his wife, who is very large. henpecked
him continually till he suffered nervous
collapse. When she had done her worst,
he claimed, she deserted him.
Bellan alleges that while he was tend
ing to the store his wife would enter
1t repeatedly and interfere with the busi-
ness, telling him that he didn't know
what he was about, and that she would
handle affairs herself. Finally, he says,
he found himself sort of an office boy
in the store he himself owned, and that
his principal duty was to sweep the
place out each day.
The judge, from the expression of his
countenance. evidently commiserated
with the unfortunate husband and grant
ed him the desired decree.
Other divorces that were heard and
granted by the same Judge were those of
Mrs. Mary Thinglestadt, who claims her
husband deserted her, and that of William
A. Peters, who was freed from his wife
on similar plea.

Reopen Discussion Concerning
4 Preliminary Program for
the Deliberations

with the return of Councilman Blanch-
ard 1t is expected that Mayor Harper will
call another meeting of the charter re-
vision commission in few days.
Many grave problems are already aris-
ing in the work.
The principal one is whether to amend
the present document or frame a new one.
Certain interests fear that If new
charter is framed 1t will result in the
elimination of certain desirable features
in the present work.
Other vital questions are: :
Shall 2-year franchises be continued?
Shall alternative propositions be con-
sidered?
Shall existing ward lines be changed?
Shall commissioners or councilmen al
large be added to the scheme of govern
ment?

PASADENA COMPANY
MUST LIQUzDATE
RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR THE
BRAND CONCERN
Officers Admit Inability to Meet obII-
cations and Federal Court Names
Man to Conduct Active
Business

A. receiver has been appointed for the
Brand Manufacturing company OF
Pasadena, dealers in building mater
ials The petition for receiver was
acted upon recently and the receiver,
Henry S. Mckee, was appointed yester-
day under bond for $4,000.
During the past three years the
Brand company has contracted debts
with several concerns for materials
purchased on credit Three of these
companies appeared in a petition 70
the federal authorities Tuesday asking
that a receiver be appointed to take
charge of the Brand company ana pay
off its debts. The Brand company have
acknowledged their inability to make
Immediate settlement and appear will
ing that receiver should be appointed.
OF the three companies petitioning
for receivership the Western Hard
ware and Lumber company advanced
claims against the bankrupt concern
for S25. 900. the Wheeler Osgood COM
pany claim an indebtedness of 1888 and
the National Lumber and Box company
enumerate items to the amount OF
$793.24.
These sums are alleged by the peti-
tioners to have been accommodating dur
ing a period of several years. Iney
claim their action was taken only a1ter
the condition of the Brand company
had become such that they were con-
vinced it could not liquidate its ac-
counts.
Mr.. Mckee takes charge of the busi-
ness with instructions to conduct 1t to
the end of settling all the just and
lawful debts of the concern. When this
has been done any property left viii be-
long to the stockholders of the Brand
company.
The Brand company is well known in
and about Pasadena, where it has oper-
ated for a number of years. The rail-
ure is attributed by the creditors OF
the concern to lack of business judg-
ment and extravaganza.
To customers of the concern, how
| ever. the receivership will come as a,
matter of surprise. Apparently thel
company was in a healthy state of bust
ness activity and only the creditors
knew the inside of the story.
| 1t is believed the assets of the COM
| pany will go far toward settling It's
debts. and If the receivership is wisely
conducted, as it promises to be, there
| should be left a considerable holding
to the stockholders.
