SAN CARLO STARS
SEE BULL FIGHT
SPEND EXCITING SUNDAY IN
Ell PAS0
Rival Theatrical Managers Clash over
Performance and Miss Nielsen
Is Nearly Frustrated
by Trouble

BY Associated Press.
Ell PASO, Tex, March S.-Ten thou
sand people witnessed a novel sight
at the Jaurez plaza del Toro this after
noon. A bull fight occurred in which
places of matadors and banderillas
were filled by professional Spanish
women bull fighters. The matadors
killed three and failed to kill the
fourth bull and two of the kills would
have done credit to any matador who
ever appeared in the Jaurez plaza:
In the audience was Madame Nor
dica, the prima donna, in whose behall
one of the bulls was killed, and VINO
rewarded the matador with roll OF
bills.
Following the close of the perform
ance at the Crawford theater here this
afternoon of 1.-The Barber of Seville
by the San Carlo opera company with
Alice Nielsen as prima donna there
were exciting scenes.
When the curtain went down one
Silberberg, who is interested in a riva
theater, vehemently declared that the
play had been cut, demanding the re-
turn of his money. Others Joined IN
and the scene that followed was little
short of a riot, during which Miss
Nielsen says Silberberg forced his way
into her dressing room and seized hel
roughly by the shoulder, charging hei
with having cut the play. The an
nouncement was made that the money
would be refunded and order was re-
stored.
Miss Nielsen, when seen by an AS
ISOLATED Press representative after thf
performance, was almost prostratec
and declared that the play had moi
been appreciably cut. But many per-
sons who witnessed the performance
asserted it was badly cut and thai
Miss Nielsen was the only member OF
the advertised troupe who appeared.
The company left by special train fol

COUNCILMEN HAVE
BUSY DAY AHEAD
MAY REOPEN UTILITY RATES
CONTROVERSY
outfalI Sewer Contractors viii Ask
City to Restore Contract to
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Movement

Today's session Of the city council
will be a prolonged one.
First in popular estimation is the
probable action of the city's lawmakers
in regard to the telephone rate con-
troversy. Last week the council reg
ulated the rates on public utilities by
increasing the Home company's phone
rate to Sc a month and leaving the
Sunset company's at IS. This applies
to the highest priced service. A re-
action has since taken place and at
least two councilmen will switch their
votes-Messrs. Wren and Dromgold.
Their plan will be to cut the Sunset
rate 81 a month.
Action depends largely on the opin-
ion of City Attorney Hewitt, who has
held the belief so far that the council
has no right to act further after the
last day of February.
Mayor Harper will send in veto mes
sages probably on the phone bill and
the electric light bill, as he deems the
rate on both too high.
The finance committee will hold a
special meeting a half hour before the
council this morning and will then de-
eide course in regard to taxing the
sale of cigarettes and cigarette paper
and possibly tax on cigar stores
1t is believed the rates for dealers
will be lowered to $1.50 a quarter, but
a higher price will be put on the sale
of cigarettes.
The civil service commission will
appear before the council to make a
request for an additional clerk and
for an increase in the salary Of Miss
Matte Scherer who is doing clerical
and stenograhpic work in the office
of Secretary Spalding.
Contractors Stansbury & Powell will
today ask the council for permission
to resume their contract on the outfall
sewer, provided the route is changed
to turn from the present line through
the water-bearing lands at Inglewood
and swerve around a chain of nearby
hills. The cost will be no higher than
contract price, it is promised, and the
outfall will be finished in the agreed
time. If the city consents to a change
of route it will absolve the surety
company, which was on the contrac-
tors bond, from paying the money
claimed by the city for the unfulflled
contract.

MANAGER ROTH SAYS
RIVAL MANAGERS CAUSED
TROUBLE IN Ell PASO

Theatrical men in Los Angeles say
the trouble was caused by rival man
ayers of local houses In Ell Paso
Manager Rich Of the Crawford thea

Manager Rich held the San Carlo

The trouble was made by Robert
Silberberg, a stockholder of the Schu-
bert house, according to private ad-
vices here. Manager Nat Roth OF the
San Carlo company at the Alexandria

the shock came. He was thrown to the
ground, but only slightly bruised. Bing-
ham did much to quiet the excited pas
sengers who gathered at the rear of the
train.
The Southern Pacific company wreck
ing crew cleared the tracks yesterday
afternoon, the Salt Lake company's s
wrecker being at Cotton.
The switch at Seventh street, where
the accident occurred, is becoming un-
favorably conspicuous in the eyes of
railroad men. An engineer declared
Yesterday afternoon that several trains
have been derailed at the same place.
Only last winter local No. z was thrown
INTO the ditch at o'clock in the MORN
ing.
Switch in Bad Order
The switch was known to be in bad
order for some time. A railroad man
said yesterday afternoon that when
brakeman threw the switch 1t was
necessary for him to pull and tug at
1t to make the switch catch. Only last
week a section gang worked trying to
repair it that it might be safely closed
more easily, but when they went away
1t was as bad as before.
The theory held by railroad men Is
that the switch was improperly thrown,
and as It was not locked the jar of the
heavy train threw it open and the
Coaches following were sent whirling
down one track while the engine took
the upper one. The baggage and pas
senger coaches and the tender, being
heavier than the engine, tipped 1t over
with disastrous results.

LABOR IS SCARCE
IN CALIFORNIA
URGENT CALL FOR MEN,
WOMEN AND TEAMS
Thousands Are Needed for the Early
Fruit season-Ranohes Drawn
on 10 Supply San Fran
eiseo's Demand
BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-The de-
velopment and reconstruction work that
is going on in San Francisco has re-
suited in most appreoiable shortage
of labor all over California, and from
all parts of the state there Is urgent
call for men and women and for tams.
1t is estimated that seventeen thou
sand teams are at work In San Fran
cisco and to supply this extraordinary
demand all the towns and cities and
even the farms themselves throughout
California have been depleted to such
an extent that the shortage Is a seri-
GUS one.
From estimates by the California pro-
motion committee the immediate de-
mand in California, outside of San
Francisco, will require several thou
sand teams with drivers to supply 1t
at present, and as the season opens for
spring and summer work this demand
will be greately increased. From $3.50
to $3.50 is the average wage paid In the
interior of the state for teams with
drivers, and the demand seems most
insistent just at present.
Labor shortage is also noted in all
agricultural districts and it is esti-
mated that employment will be ready
for many thousand men beginning with
the earliest fruit season.
In all the interior towns and cities
where are located small factories there
is constant and increasing demand for
female help as operatives.
In the lumber districts there is
marked shortage and it is estimated
that between ten and fifteen thousand
men will be needed to supply the de-
mand.
Railroad building, which is going on
in all parts of the state, Is another
source of great demand for labor, and
both men and teams are needed in large
In some localities two roads
are competing with each other to such
an extent that they are bidding against
each other for men in all lines of their

POLICE LOOK FOR
WANDERING BOY
Leaves Home In Imperial Valley al
Harvest Time and Anxious Father
Knows Nothing Of His
Whereabouts

A message from an aged father seek
ing lost son was received by the Los
Angeles police yesterday, who were
asked to search for Paul Robinet, 16-
year-old boy who left his home in the
Imperial valley in Washington last fall
The home of the father, M. Robinet, is
near Walla Walla, Wash, and by tire
less efforts since his boy left he traced
him to Los Angeles.
1T was harvest time in the valley,
the message states, when my boy left
home" Paul had lived all his life in
the little world inclosed by the blue
hills, and like Will o. the Mill he often
longed vaguely and wonderingly for the
great world beyond. He went several
times with his father to Walla Walla,
and the glimpses of the enchanted life
outside the valley became more and
more woven in his dreams.
When Indian summer drew it's veil OF
haze around the hills. the mystery OF
the men and women, the cities and the
great ocean which he knew lay beyond
came like an obsession into his mind
and when he toiled in the wheat fields
or wandered home in the afterglow he
heard only the voices beyond the hills
life of the world which he yearned tc
see.
Every Sunday Paul went with his
parents to the little French Hugenot
church. He told the priest of his de-
sire to go out into the world, and the
priest told him wonderful stories of the
two great seas and the ships and the
towering buildings.
The boy told his father of his longing
but M. Robinet, although he had lived
twenty years in the little valley, knew
more of the great world than even tn;
priest. He told Paul of some of th'
dangers and hardships met by adven
turers in the big strange cities. but hi
stories only made the boys restlessnesl
greater.
One night when the smell of tn,
stubble fields was in the air and tn,
harvest moon made ghost cities of tn
banks of haze that lay still below tn
valley, Paul knew that at last he mus
answer the call. With his Sunda,
clothes tied up in bundle and with
last look at the little home hiddel
among the trees he followed the wind
ing road down through the mist an
was lost in the world-"the world o
wonder and hope"-that lay beyond.

There is some talk Of dividing
Utah County, excepting Provo
CITY, into six large school dis
tricts. three north and three south
of Provo. The question IS lar
reaching in importance and should
of course be very carefully consid-
cred.
At the present time there are
twenty-six districts in the county,
many o fthem SO small as to be
able to maintain but one mixed
school with one teacherh and ne
cesarily three trustees. To these
small districts a very great adj
vantage would come in supervis-
ION and, in some instances, hnan-
cial aid.
To the larger districts the
change could not mean so much.
Their systems already provide for
thorough organization, close SUI
pervision, and grading. The gen
eral effect upon educational work
OF the county would, we believe
be beneficial, as more unity anC
uniformity would characterize the
work. Local prejudices which sc
often bar out the west because
OF wrong standards of judgments
would necessarily disappear be
fore the influence of the larger SUI
pervisory division.
