PASADENA, May ga corporation
composed, it is understood entirely of
local capitalists, among them G. D. Por-
ter, at present manager of the Pasadena
opera house, formerly the Lowe opera
house, has purchased the opera house
building and will henceforth call it the
Auditorium, while the corporation pro-
ceeds to convert the structure into a
hotel
The corporation is known as the Aud,
itorium Hotel company, and Mr.. Porter
is at present the only known factor in
the undertaking. While all the plans
for the hotel have not been made public
it Is announced that the new structure,
when fully completed, will be one. of the
most attractive in the city, and in it will
be presented larger list of attractions
than any other building in the city if
not in the county.
Plans for Building
The structure at present is located on
the corner of Bellevue drive and Ray
mond avenue. 1t fronts 15O feet on Ray
mond and has depth of 1856 feet 1t is
two stories in height.
To this structure will be added two
more stories in which will be- with the
rooms already in the second floor, 200
airy rooms The ground floor front will
be converted into store rooms with the
exception of the lobby. On the side of
the building, facing Bellevue Sdrive,
there will be added a dining room, and
a kitchen will be Installed in the rear.
The dining room will be accessible
from the auditorium and refreshments
will be served between acts and dinners
after performances A movable floor
will be built and in a few minutes time
can be slipped into place to extend from
the stage over the entire parquet of
the auditorium, making one of the
f. largest dancing halls in the city.
Local talent is expected to make use
of the structure in presenting plays.
There has been an average of five or
six local talent plays a year i'll Pasa--
dena and some of them have as many
as three or four presentations. The
Mikado company of Pasadena this year
proved such success that the play was
put on the boards in neighboring cities.
Uses for Building
In addition to the use the local talent
will make of the Auditorium there will
be billed the cream of travelling troups
that give presentations in Los Angeles.
There will be appropriate lectures and
sacred concerts given on Sundays aud
at times religious services may be con-
Quoted there, as in the case of union
services too large for the local churches
to accommodate.
The work on the structure will be
commenced at once under the manage
ment of Mr.. Porter and the building is
expected to be completed as soon as
rush work can promise.

MORN TILL NIGHT
COL. SINcLAIR'S PATROL BUSY
AT DAYBREAK
Fair Daughters Of Missouri Are EIec-
tloneerIne for Henry Neidring-
haus, First to Seek Inn
periaI Office

Sons of Moolah, the redoubtable ag-
gregation of tent dwellers from ST
! Louis, spent busy day yesterday, the
groups radiating from the Angelus ho-
tel In a steady outfowing and infiowing
stream all day and all night.
! The st. Lou'sans came prepared to
partake of the date bowls, the cup and
the salver and all the treasures in Cali
fornia's cornucopia, for oft has the
fame of Los Angeles and her illimita-
BILE hospitality travelled to the Missfs-
sippi valley metropolis. where too the
old-time hospitality prevails. This is
shown year after year by the Yelled
! Prophet and carnival season, the old
| time trades pageants, the exposition
| seasons and, more recently, the world s
fair occasion.
And then, too, st. Louis has an am
bition to put her favorite son, Henry
F. Niedringhaus, in the chair of the
| Imperial outer guard at the next term.
Last night it developed that Detroit
and Indianapolis, too, nurse an ambi-
tion to put one of their sons in this
office, but at midnight it looked as
though st. Louis and Moolah stood to
win.
Not Mysterious Stranger
Noble Niedringhaus is a veteran rep
resentative, has served Moolah as po-
tentate and comes of family widely
known in Missouri, the state of "The
Mysterious Stranger" Never before
has a st. Louisan asked for seat in
the upper council.
There was happy reunion at The
Angelus yesterday when Potentate
Alexander d. Grant the missing Off
cial who, with five others, had left the
caravan at Grand canyon and failed to
rejoin his tent mates in time, appeared.
Columbus whose steam camel train fol-
lowed St. Louis, had taken pity on the
belated half dozen and invited them to
partake Of salt with them and con-
tinue on their journey to join their
brethren ahead.
Fair Lobbyists
In the st. Louis delegation are a
large number of women, mostly young
A number of them are unmarried and
all are beautiful. The reason why so
many bachelors haunt the Angelus this
week is therefore not far to seek.
These fair matrons and maids include

haus, John Hockmuth S. Mathews, j.

others.
There are also Misses Adele and En-
ma Steininger, Isabel Matthews, l..
Kurtzeborn, Goessling, Schlueter and
others.
Drill at Daybreak
The earliest ones to arise yesterday
were the members of the Arab patrol,
who at o'clock hurried out to Ascot
race track to undergo practice. Col
Sinclair, widely known as drillmas-
ter. feared that most of his men would
take the flights to Catalina, to Casa
Verdugo and to Redondo and wanted
a final drill in order to prepare for
the escort duty which will be in order
today for Imperial Clayton of st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, their sister city.

Factories Not Bothered by 5S-Hour
 Law.

The fact that the new factory law limiting the weeks work to f1fty-eight hours went into effect Sept 1, instead of Jan. 1, through a clerical mistake, has caused some complaint amongst large manufacturers throughout the state.
 New Haven manufacturers, how ever, say they do not object to the pro- visions of the new act,-on the other hand they rather like it.
 Only one large firm In this city Is affected by it's provisions, the Win chester Repeating Arms Co. This mammoth concern has already found it necessary to readjust the working hours of over 1,5O0 women and girls in order to comply with the new law. The change makes difference of only one hour per week, however, and the off, cials of the company are not worrying over it.
 The constitutionality of the new statute is also questioned by the attor- neys retained by several firms, and it is stated that the matter will undoubt- edly be taken to the court in the hope that the act will fail of legal ratifica- tion.
