CONTRACTS were signed yesterday
by Oliver Morosco, manager of the
~ Burbank theater, and Dick Ferris,
acting for Florence Stone, which assure
the appearance of Miss Stone upon the
Burbank stage for a limited starring
engagement, beginning October IS.
Miss Stone will open in Charles
Majors romantic comedy, Dorothy
Vernon of Haddon Hail." Other plays
in which she will be seen later include
Oscar Wilde's brilliant drama, "a
Woman of No Importance" Mrs.
Temples Telegram" a comedy which
has met with large success in the east
and abroad but which never has been
played in Los Angeles; the Sardou ver-
sion of cleopatra" one of Miss Stones
best known and best liked roles, and
La Belle Marseillaise." This last
named play was produced by Charles
Frohman five years ago and has been
held since at such eXorbitant royalties
that it has been unavailable for stock
purposes. Recently the royalty de-
manded for it's presentation was re-
duced and Manager Morosco imme-
diately placed the play under contract.
Miss Stones engagement to the Bur
bank management came as something
of a surprise, Notwithstanding the fact
that negotiations to that end have been
in progress for several months past.

SCARLET FEVER FOLLOWED
BY COMPLICATIONS FATAL
Son of Griffith Park Foreman Sue
cumbs to Succession of Diseases.
Health Board Forbids At
tendance at Funeral

Roy Harmon. the 11-year-old son or
Charles Harmon, foreman OF Grlnith
park, died Saturday from compllca-
ton of diseases which the attending
physicians declare were rare DIN one so
young.
He was attacked first with scarlet
fever, a little more than month ago,
and this soon was complicated with
typhoid. This ran into what Is known
as puff fever and, in addition, pneu-
monia set in.
on account of the contagious nature
of the disease which caused death a
public funeral cannot be had, but the
boy will be privately buried today at
Rosedale cemetery.
This death has brought sadness to
the employees of the park department
with whom little Roy was great "a
vorite. They much regret they cannot
show the affection they bore him by
attending his funeral, but this is not
allowed by the health department.

NEEDS HUSTLERS
TO HANDLE MAIL
POSTMASTER FLINT TELLS OF
WORKING
MEMBERS OF CITY CLUB HEAR
PRACTICAL TALK
Quick System In Use to Keep Track
of Residents and Non-Residents
In Changing Their ADJ
dresses

Postmaster Motley II. Flint yesterday
let the members of the City club into
some of the secrets Of the postotf1ce
service.
He told the gathering at the weekly
luncheon at the Westminster hotel that
Los Angeles persons were among the
most critical of any in the country, and
before going into details distributed all
kinds of samples of schemes, cards, no.
tees, files and paraphernalia used In
the postoff1ce to expedite the service.
Referring to the great problem Of
keeping up with the changes of adj
dresses in this great tourist city, MIR.
Flint said:
I'VE keep a directory of attorneys,
business houses, hotels and lodging
houses. These are changing continually
and it Is compiled monthly at the post
office.
office Building Problems
Another serious problem arises
when a big office building is COM
pleted. When structure Is ready for
occupancy from 300 to 500 people move
in ana others take the places in offices
made vacant.
1--WE must make all of these changes
Immediately, for the public is impatient
and wants its mail.
I'm twenty-four hours practically
every railroad office was moved to Sixth
and Spring streets. We were expected
to make the changes Immediately and
make no mistakes in delivering the
mail.
"Hotel guests are impatient and some
times unfair. They think 1t is very
easy for mail to be delivered to them
immediately after they change their
address.
For instance a guest becomes dis
satisfied with ones hotel and changes to
another. He expects his mail to be de-
livered to the new address Immediately.
We must depend on the assistance and
cooperation of the hotel clerk. In this
Chicago depends entirely on the hotel
clerks.
careIessness is Common
''It is surprising how little attention
merchants give to having the correct
address on their letter heads. Some do
not give any address, while others in
sist on receiving their mail at lock
box and use the street address on their
letterhead. This is q detriment to
quick distribution.
much work is required in handling
the changes in addresses. We handled
1885 of these last month.
1.-THE firm or person forwards the
order for a change to the station or
main office before anything is done
with them.

Account of Injuries to
His Health

On account of injuries to his health
as the result of a cold which, he says,
was due to exposure while travelling
from Paducah, KY, to Los Angeles,
Henry C. Warren yesterday filed suit in
the superior court against the Pullman
company, asking damages in the sum
of $3.50.
Warren says he arranged for accom-
modations in October of last year, and
when he boarded the train was ex-
cIuded from the berth. he had engaged.
Instead, he says, a berth near the door
was given him. This he occupied until
San Antonio, Tex, was reached, and
he was transferred to chair car, in
which he rode to Ell Poso. At that
point, he says, another berth near the
door was given him.

I'VE have a city directory in thirty
nine volumes and between each printed
page are four inter leaves, and each
change is made as soon os the order is
received.
"If a change is ordered from one sec

is first given to the carrier. who enters
it and then gives 1t to the superlnten-

searches through the general delivery

the order to the carrier, who delivers
to the new address.
MANY letters are received that are
incorrected addressed. Last month We
had 1929 of these, or an average of
about 1914 a day. Each address is

BIG GAME HUNTING IN WYOMING
PhiIadeIphians Rough it on the Ranch
where Wister wrote HThe

A party of men and women of Phil

they were the guests of Mr.. Gilpin
Lowering on his ranch near Dubois.
They have brought with them rich

people, bronzed and healthy looking,
give full corroboration to their tales of
horseback riding through the foot hills,
hours of lying in wait for game, and
camping out on the half broken trails.
Mr.. Lovering's ranch is eighty miles
from Lander, the terminus of The
North Western Line, in the midst of
the finest Big Game country in Amer
lea. 1t is at an elevation of 1000 feet.
The ranch covers thousands of acres.
The houses are of logs, with big open

to have written the first part of his
famous novel, ''The Virginian," here.

TURKEYS HIGH
IN K|LBOURN

Turkeys at $8.333 apiece is rather
more than the ordinary man would
care to pay for such luxury. However
that is what James Wildrich will have
to pay for twelve that he got in that
village week ago. This is not the
prevalent price in Kilbourn, bnt he
came in possession of the birds under
rather suspicious circumstances, so
much so that he was unable to convince
Justice Mackness that he did not will
fully and maliciously steal them one
night from a neighbor.
After the hearing had been COM
pleted yesterday at Kilbourn, at least
a dozen witnesses swearing that they
had seen Wildrich with the turkeys
and others that they had caught him
in the act of relieving the roOst, the
venerable justice gave the prisoner a
lecture abounding in rhetorical phrases
and pronounced his ukase that Wild
rich should pay a fine of 500 or could
spend the next six months under the
tender care of Sheriff Hawkes., At
present he is taking an inventory of
his capital stock, and also that of his
friends, in order to raise the hundred.
