MAKES LONG LEAP
TO ESCAPE ARREST
Is Alleged to Have Been EMPLOYED
as Lookout" by Chinese Ganb-
lers-Tried to Escape from
Raid

Fred Madina, % years of age, said to
be lookout for a Chinese gambler,
was arrested yesterday morning after
being seriously injured by jumping
from the second story of the Oriental
rooming house, 500 North Alameda
street, in an effort to escape from
officers.
Madina lives at 1906 Kearny street.
He is said to be greatly in demand as a
lookout. as 1t is claimed he is per-
sonally acquainted with all the local
officers.
During the last three months, it is
alleged by the police Madina has been
empoyed at the Oriental rooming
house and during that time has pre-
vented the police from pulling off sew
eral raids. Early yesterday morning
word was taken to the central station
that a fan tan game was in progress at
that place. Several plain clothes Off
GERS were detailed to make a raid. They
succeeded in getting in through a rear
door before they were spied by Madina.
The frightened man sprang for the
nearest window and hurled himself to
the pavement, two stories beneath.
When the officers reached his side
Madina was unconscious and it was
necessary to take him to the receiving
hospital for treatment. At the hos
pital it was found by the physicians
that Madina had suffered a severe
laceration on his head and was also
considerably bruised about the back

FOUR SPEAKERS READY
FOR ORATORICAL CONTEST

Representatives from Occidental col
lege, University of Southern California,
the Los Angeles high and the Poly
technic high schools will battle for ORR
torical honors in a contest given under
the auspices of the Southern California
Oratorical association. The contest will
be held in the auditorium of the Poly
technic high school Friday evening at 8
o'clock.
Great enthusiasm has been displayed
by all the schools interested. Tryouts
were held and leaders have been chosen
to represent the respective schools
Each contestant selects his own sub
ject and will be judged by the value of
the subject selected and the oratorical
power displayed in delivering it,
For the past week the young orators
have been having daily rehearsals to
practice dramatic poses and gestures.
All are working hard and each of the
four boys are determined and quite con-
fident of winning. 1t is evident from
their activity that the contest will be a
spirited affair.
Great as is the enthusiasm displayed
by all the participating schools in gen
eral, there is a very deep feeling and
secret enthusiasm existing among the
students of Polytechnic and Los Ange-
les highs. Poly intends to walk away

BREAKER
y IN CITY PRISON
Arrested on Fugitive Warrant charg-
ing Him with Committing Per-
jury in Case in Portland,
Oregon

John r. Earle, better known as
"Jack" Earle, and sometimes by reason
of his occupation that of a professional
strike breaker as Bill King, Jack Je-
rome and perhaps dozen other names,
is a prisoner at the city Jail on a
fugitive warrant which charges him
with having committed perjury at Port
land, Ore, several weeks ago.
At the Hotel Matson his pretty young
wife is a prey to her fears and emo
tions as she pictures her husband in
confinement with no means of knowing
what the outcome of the case may be.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Earle stoutly deny
that he has been guilty of any crime,
that he has taken a false oath or made
false statement at any time or place,
and the wife says that it is all
trumped up charge to punish him for a
most active part he took in breaking up
strike of street car employees at Port
land three months ago.
According to Detectives Chapman and
Home, who arrested Earle yesterday
afternoon, the chief of police of Port
land telegraphed Earle was wanted

SAVES $5OO,0OO ON
AQUEDUC7 LINE
ASSISTANT ENGINEERS MAKE
DISCOVERIES
Careful Detail Studies on Route of
Owens River Conduit Bring Out
Economical Changes and
Betterments

BY making certain changes from the
original plans Engineers D. L. Rea-
burn and E. A. Bayley have evolved
new lines for the aqueduct by careful
study which will save at least $500,000
in the cost of the big Owens river water
project.
The saving will be effected mainly
between the Haiwee reservoir and An
telope valley.
With the consent of Chief Engineers
Mulholland and Lippincott the grade
has been increased between the south
end of Haiwee reservoir and Fairmount
reservoir.
BY readjusting the grade in the Red
Rock canyon country the flow will also
be increased.
This means that smaller conduit
can be utilized, which, of course, saves
mterials and costs as well as time in
construction.
In the Antelope valley 10000 feet of
syphon will be built instead of $1,000
feet of conduit shortening the route
and the cost by $100.
Engineer Reaburn finds that these
changes will cause additional difficulties
with rock formations, but in the end
the saving will be greater than over
the original route.

EXPOSITION ENDS
IN GLORY BLAZE
"Made in Southern California" Show
Proves to Be a Great Success
and VIII Be Repeated
Hereafter

Amid a blaze of lights, music and
free samples, the made in Southern
California" exposition closed its doors
last night as one of the most success
full events ever held in Los Angeles.
More than 100000 Angelenos and other
visitors saw the big show. During the
two weeks of the display, scarcely a
day went by without 10000 visitors go
ing through the gate, and several big
record breaking nights $4,000 viewed its
beauties.
From the standpoint of both visitors
and the LIS exhibitors the big show was
q pronounced success, for the former
because of it's educational interest,
and for the latter because of the wide
publicity given their wares. There was
no attempt to make money, but the
decided gain to the visitors was so
pronounced that already plans are be-
ing instituted to make the institution
q permanent feature of this city.
Sunday, the employees who have been
kept hustling since the show began,
will have their day. A big picnic at
Venice is being arranged for and the
workers will make merry at the sea-
side. Gen. Sharman has donated spe-
cial car for them and a large crowd
will soothe their tired frames in the
embrace of old ocean.

MUSICIANS WANT
WAGES INCREASED
Theater Orchestrss Demand Advance
to Take Effect June All Such
Organizations May Be
Discharged

| The Musicians union has served no
tice on all the regular theaters of the
city, with the exception of the Mason,
of a 10 per cent demand for increase
of wages after June 1. The new sched-
ule is outlined in the following, which
is a copy of the communication sent
each manager:
New schedule for theaters running
steady, fifty-two weeks a year: Number
Of men in orchestra as follows: Dra-
matte houses charging rs cents admis-
sion, box seats excepted, nine men;
same, charging so cents, eight men;
combination houses charging so cents,
seven men; first-class vaudeville
houses, ten men. Prices in effect: %
Minimum week of eight performances,
$40; (2) extra performances, each. $3.50;
(3) leaders, eight performances, $32; ex-
ira performances pro rata"
The demand is carefully arranged to
cover each house by it's schedule of
prices as to number of men, which in
every case is the present strength of
the orchestra. The demand is evidently
made as companion to a recent in
crease asked for and secured by the
stage hands.
All local theaters are unionized as to
orchestra and stage men. If an at
tempt to put in nom union players were
if both went out boycotts would doubt.
less follow.
The scheme of the managers now, as
hinted yesterday, is to dispense with
orchestras altogether. This would be
easily possible in every house but the
Orpheum, as all give purely dramatic
performances, and the Auditorium,
which now has an opera engagement.
The managers argue that the orches-
ira doesn't bring in a dollar to them;
that often it is displeasing to those who
prefer to visit between acts; that its
music is not specially an enhancement
of the evenings pleasure in any case
and that the action of their plays do
not require music.
If, they say individually, the demand
is insisted upon the houses will drop
the music feature and every one will
be as we'll satisfied. However, the case
is not acute at present; the demand
takes effect June and the managers
association will meet before then and
decide upon concerted action.

with the honors and see her rival shed
tears of defeat. On the other hanu,
Jesse Land, who will represent the high
school, will endeavor to run away with
prizes and honors.
Besides this the excitement has be-
come more keen than ever when it was
announced yesterday that both high
schools will clash on the baseball dia-
mond Saturday afternoon at Chutes
park. The high school boys are going
to give their opponents a double defeat
to get over by winning both the ora
torical contest and baseball game, but
Poly boys stick out their tongues at
the high school and grin with a cunning
smile, which denotes their confidence.
The baseball teams of both schools
are in excellent trim. Both have gone
through the season with a fine list of
victories Both have lost one game, and
if they play Saturday as they have
played during the past part of the sea-
son there will be some fine work dis
played and a very close score.
Besides the honor of winning either
the baseball game or the oratorical con-
test there are other prizes which both
high schools are eagerly working to OBJ
tain. For the winning of the ball game
the prize will be the championship of
Southern California. For the oratorical
contest there are four prizes, consist
ing of three cash prizes of $25, SIS and
$10 which will be paid to the contest
ants winning first, second and third
places, respectively. For the school
whose representative receives first place
q pennant will be given denoting the
championship in oratorical work of
Southern aClifornia.

Southern California Oratorical associa-
tion, has prepared a program for the
contest and has directed the decoration

IF HE WROTE IT ON ONE
CHECK HE'S A MARVEL

Konstantinious Papanastasiou, a
Greek, was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Miller, Ritch and Robards on
charge of forgery According to the
officers, Papanastasiou has cashed three
forged checks on the First National
bank. The first check was for $43 and
was cashed April 20; the second was
for $34 and was cashed May 10, while
the third check was for $3S and was
cashed yesterday morning.
All the checks were cashed with the
name Thedorus Liatas and were made
payable to Chicos Brothers. Papanas-
tasiou appears to be a working man.
April 20 he appeared at the bank with
the first forged check and signed his
name under the name of Chicos Broth
ers. The officials of the bank did not
become suspicious until Wednesday aft
ernoon when this check was returned by
Liatas as a forgery. Yesterday when
the Greek appeared with the third
check it was casned and Officer Miller
who was al short distance away, was
called.

Rifle Range Association Destined to
Become Crack Shots with Prac-
H tice on the Wonderful
Device

Members of the Los Angeles. Rifle
Range association, comprised of five
companies, with headquarters at the
Eighth street armory, are destined to
become the crack rifle shots of the
southern coast.
1t has been decided to purchase a
subtarget rifle machine. This device
will, it is claimed, raise the marksman-
ship of these men from 80 to 80 per cent
during this shooting season.
The companies which will be bene-
flied by the use of the wonderful de-
vice are A, G and F, Seventh infantry,
the signal corps and the light battery.
If these men do as we'll as the Sew

1t is claimed for the machine that

are using the machine. British officers
declare the device has done more to
improve the shooting qualities of the
troops than anything ever tried
Capt. A. j. Copp. jr., and Col Schrei-

with power to act for the organizations
with reference to purchasing the ma
chlne, have announced their determina-

Fred w. Pearce received a letter from
his home office in Boston last night to
the effect that the Spanish government
had ordered 100 of the subtarget rifle
machines for the army and navy. For
