CITY MAKES COMPROMISE
WITH INGLEWOOD COMPANY

The city council yesterday accepted al
arrangement with the Inglewood Water
company by which the city Is absolved
from the necessity of making fill alona
the outfall sewer route and turns over a
warehouse to the water company.
The city and the company had hereto
fore entered into contract, one of the
provisions being that upon the compile
tion of the outfall sewer the dirt taken
from the shafts should not be scattered
over the right of way but hauled to a
certain depression:
The city engineer estimated that II
would cost $12S5 to haul the dirt to the
depression and to clean up the right of
way as required by the contract.
The city is the owner of a warehouse in
Inglewood located on ground of the Ingle-
wood company. The city received offers
for the purchase of the warehouse, 1t be-
ing no longer needed by the city, the
highest of which offers was from ]. II
Dinsmore, who offered $500.
The Inglewood company made proposi-
ton in a letter addressed to the board of
public works to take the warehouse and
the sum of 5000, and thereby release the
:ity from moving any of the dirt. This
is equivalent to an offer of at least $685.
for the warehouse, OF $S5 more than the
highest offer so far received.
The city engineer recommended that che
offer of the Inglewood company be ac'
copied, thus relieving the city of the
necessity of moving the dirt, and the
council agreed yesterday.

MUSIC AND MIRTH IN

1.-THE illionaire' at Herr Fischer S
theater a performance worth seeing
For plot, the weeks musical comedy
depends upon the situations in which one
Schmitz, multi-millionaire, finds himself
as the result of his preference for a
French soubrette. He is discovered in
his deceit by the society girl to whom he
is engaged, who follows him to an even
ing engagement with the soubrettc, dis
guised as a boy, and the fun which fol-
lows is fast and furious. Eventually
Schmitz elects to release his fiancee, who
marries the man she really loves, and the
plutocrat assumes Hymens harness with
the soubrette in charge of the reins.
Miss Rutledge created sensation with
the audience yesterday afternoon and
evening in her boys clothes" Mani
festly the houses approved not only of
the manner in which she filled her cos
tune, but of her song, 'In Dreamland'
as well, and she received hearty encores
at both performances.

marvels of physical development and give

BOYS COMPLAIN THAT
THEIR WHEELS ARE SPOILED

A number of the boy students of the
Polytechnic high school who ride TO
school on their wheels took 1t upon them-
selves to petition the board of education
to erect sheds on the school property TO
protect their machines from the rain DUR
ing the rainy weather. Owing to the raot
that the youths ignored their principal,
]. H. Francis, regarding the matter and
sent the petition to the board without his
knowing it, a misunderstanding arose be-
tween the boys and the head of the
school.
There are about nine hundred of the
Polytechnic students who ride to school
daily on their wheels Until this term
they were all permitted to place them in
the Railways and alleys of the building
when it rained, but owing to the large
increase in the enrolment of the school
this term 1t was found impdossible to
allow the students to continue the prac-
tice, as it interfered greatly with the
crowds passing through the passages be-
tween periods. It was for this reason
that Principal Francis ordered that all
passages should be kept cleared, and SO
the wheels had to go outside in the rain.
| 1t was at this crisis that some one sug-
gested petitioning the board of education
| for the sheds. A letter was accordingly
| drawn UP and signed by about eignty
| lads. ThlS was malleu u TIE pieSiuoh.
| of the board and the boys thought that
| their labors were over. They were all
waiting patiently to see the first load OF
material arrive and the work to COM
meuce on the enterprise, when yesterday
morning they discovered all their names
on the schools bulletin board and no.
tice to meet their principal at an APP
pointed time and place.
| Mr.. Francis had the petition. 1t was
/ sent to him by the board for his recon-
mendation. When he questioned them al
to why they had not spoken to him about
the matter they replied it was an over
sight on their part and that the affai'
/ had not been done Intentionally. Mr.
Francis then explained to the boys thai
the school had outgrown itself so fas
that it was impossible to build every
thing that was needed, but that he would
| give the matter his attention.

Be Found First

The fire commission yesterday ad-
yanced it's proposition for the city to
buy an automobile for the rse of all
commissioners and the councilmen as far
as the finance committee of the council
the finance committee of the council
Yesterday. If funds can be found a
seven-passenger car will be purchased
though this may not happen for several
weeks.
Commissioner Anthony Sehwamm ad-
dressed the council yesterday, urging the
necessity for such a machine because of
the increasing duties devolving on the
commissioners, all of whom serve the
city without pay
Mr. Schwamm said Mayor Harper Is
obliged to go into his pocket repeatedly
to pay for entertainment of visitors and
to hire automobiles on such occasions.
This is hardly fair, as In most large
cities ways and means are provided for
just such occasions.
The plan is to keep the machine in the
fire department headquarters and have
one of the department chauffeurs rur
and take care Of 1t.
| The councilmen seemed favorable II
! the idea but remarked that the city's
| funds are scarce and possibly more
weighty matters pressed for settlemen
until the finances grew to larger pro
| portions.
| Councilman Yonkn preferred that tht
police department be first provided witt
it's automobile, saying that patients an,
prisoners often had to wait for hou :,
until wagon could be sent after them
Commissioner Schwamm said he ha,
no disposition to force quick action, bu
merely wanted the council to consider
the suggestion .or a favorable time.

EsMoND PLAY is GIVEN
A FINE PRESENTATION

Henry V. Esmond's excellent play,
'When We Were Twenty-One" with a
part of the risque third act omitted was
revived at the Belasco last night before
an audience that was of good size de-
spite the counter attraction of society
vaudeville" at the Mason. The play itself
is too familiar to warrant comment. Re-
earding the manner of it's presentation
much may be said In praise, for the play
is perhaps. as finely done as anything
the Belasco company has given us this
season, which Is saying a great deal.
Charles Ruggles as the imp found in
the part an excellent opportunity. Mr..
Ruggles made bad impression upon his
first entrance by the usual disorderliness
of his attire. The imp, of course, is sup
posed to be under the-infiuence of liquor,
hut that disarranged tie and the other
outward and visible signs of inward dis
turbance always seem rather overdrawn,
DESPITE their frequency on the stage.
This impression, however. soon was dis
pelled by his acting He presented an
excellent characterization of a wayward,
headstrong boy, suffering the effects of
a calf love unfortunate in it's object, and
in the last act, where he realizes his mis-
take and returns to his guardian, his
stimulation of grief and repentance are
very real indeed. Mr.. Ruggles has done
nothing better since joining the Belasco
company.
Lewis Stones Richard Carewe likewise
is fine bit of work, marked by the ease
and finish that ordinarily attend any
part he plays and by something more
than his usual skill in depicting emotion.
Miss Blanche Stoddard is at her best
In the role of Phyllis. Richard Vivian
contributes fine picture of Waddles,
both in acting and makeup, and Miss
Adele harrington makes an exceedingly
enticing Firefiy.
.When We Were Twenty-One' never
has been betterN played in Los Angeles
than it is at the Belasco this week. 1t
Is an interesting play, very capably pre-
sented.

PROMOTER MITCHELL
FIGHTS EXTRACTION

The attorneys for L. II. Mitchell, the
we'll known mining promoter, are prepar-
ing to resist his removal from Los An
geles to Wilkesbarre, Pa, where he is
wanted to face various indictments,
including the charge of using the United
States mails to defraud.
Mitchell, it is alleged by the authorities,
boosted the Joaquina Gold Mining COM
pany of Mexico, and in persuading gull
lble investors in various parts of the
country, to part with their money for
the stock he employed Uncle Sans post
offices An investigation proved that the
mine, instead of being worth millions.
was valueless, and Mitchelrs claims were
shown to be based on nothing but false
representations.
United States Commissioner Van Dyke
found sufficient cause for Mitchells re-
moval to Pennsylvania, where he must
face trial. Attorneys L. III. Valentine,
Mckinley and LeComte Davis will repre-
sent Mitchell when he resists the order
of removal before Judge Wellborn next
Monday
