RABBIT HUNTERS READY TO
BAG BUNNY AT LANCASTER
Hundreds Will Go on Special to Ante
lope Valley Saturday to Join in
Big DriVe-Ranchers Plan
Reception

All is ready for the descent of the
army of rabbit chasers who will leave
the Southern Pacifics Arcade depot
Saturday morning early for the Ante
Iope valley to decimate the Dummies
around Lancaster.
The committees are counting on at
least 400 passengers on the special
which departs at 1920 a. m, leaving
Lancaster for the return trip at $50
o'clock.
Lancaster's people will slaughter a
few beeves to feed to visitors at bar
becue, and a dance will also be ar
ranged.
1t is probable that there will be a
distribution of rabbits to the poor
on Sunday.
Yesterday Bert Updike, who years
ago was a deputy marshal at Lam
caster, wandered into the reservation
of the rabbits in Los Angeles, and at
the United States hotel last night he
was given the three degrees. a ban
quet was arranged by John Althouse,
Joseph Stitch, A. c. Reehl, Roman G..
Schmidt, Oscar James and other Of
fcials. and Updike was induced TO wire
for a leave of absence to the Cerro
Gordo mine officials al Keller Cal, his
employers, so that he could remain for
the big hunt Updike has charge of
the feeding and comfort of the 125
miners at the big mine overlooking
Owens lake. and his services viii be
valued by his old fellow toWnsmen at
Lancaster, where, years ago, he was
a butcher.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS 81 .
WILLING TO SUBMIT
NEW DOG CONTRACT
HUMANE ANIMAL LEAGUE OUT
WITH ANOTHER OFFER
Instead of Its Previous Claim Will
Take $4,000 and seVenty-five
Per Cent of the
Collections

Rather than quarrel with individual
members of the council, although it
had the law on it's own side. the HUI
name Animal league yesterday sub
mitted another contract with the city
by which the league virtually makes
the public present of about $4,000.
The new contract calls for the pay
ment as soon as the contract is signed
by the mayor, of $4,000 and rs per cent
of the dog licenses collected each
month.
A few weeks ago the council ap-
proved and the mayor signed a con-
tract with the league whereby the lat
ter was to receive IS per cent of all
dog licenses collected beginning with
the first of June. when the dog year
starts.
The contract was discussed in the
council. No effort was made by the
league to push 1t through without con-
sideration, but when, on the strength
of this contract. DR.. w. A. Lamb,
president of the league, presented a
claim for $7100, being rs per cent of
the dog licenses collected from tho
first of June, minus some money paid
to G. B. Vacher former dog catcher.
which in itself was virtually a gift to
the city, Councilman Dromgold and
others objected. The objection was
based on the fact that the league had
not done anything to earn the money,
and that it was a payment in advance
for services to be performed. The city
attorney ruled that the claim was n
valid one and that, under the terms of
the contract. it would have to be paid.
But, simply to show it is in earnest
in it's efforts to reform the dog pound
system. the league has agreed to fore
go $4,000 of the money to which it is
legally entitled and accept $4,000.
The organization has been already at
considerable expense in fitting up the
pound and hiring men to perform serv-
ices necessary to the system, and did
not feel justified in digging into it's
own pockets. especially as it is acting
from philanthropic motives and will not
make a profit on the venture. If any
profit is made it is agreed it will be
applied to charitable purposes.

FORTY-SEVEN new COUPLES
TO CELEBRATE
PRE- THANKSGIVING RECORDS
UTTERLY EcLlPsED
Blind God, However, Must Keep up

Dan Cupid began the last round OF

hour yesterday. AT o'clock, when the
marriage license bureau opened Tor
business, Deputy County Clerks Wat

big book of records and issue the per-
lnits to wed. which, one woman said
are as Dig as TAX receipts and some

carried under her arm a turkey big
enough for two. The fowl lay on the
table in Justice Selph's private office
fifteen minutes later while the cere-
mony was performed
There was a lull in business after the
noon hour, only two or three coupies
appearing from that time until 2
O'Clock Then the afternoon rush be-
gun. The first man to ask for license
was Herbert d. Coon, who came from
d northern county to Los Angeles, ac-
companied by strikingly pretty girl.
He wanted to surprise his friends When
he returned home with wife. but their
wonder must be delayed, for coon dld

efforts to persuade Clerk Watson to
issue the much ished-for paper, the
latter was obdurate. Coon presented
permit from his father, granting per-
mission to marry, but this had not been
certified before a notary and he went
away Enthusiastically disappointed.
When the bureau closed both clerks
had writer's cramp. having recorded
and issued forty-seven licenses, a rec
ord for the year, and the highest num-
Der thus far for any year on the day
preceding Thanksgiving. Thirty-four
licenses were issued the same day
year ago.
Notwithstanding the showing made
yesterday, the little winged cherub will
find it necessary to loosen his love-
tipped arrows quickly and with greater
frequency if he expects to start as
many couples on the road to happiness,
or otherwise, as entered the marital
relation last year. When the bureau
closed last night the record showed a
falling off for the year of 408 as COM
pared with the same date in 1907, when
Ass licenses had been issued, as against
4047 this year.

AUTHOR OF BIBLICAL
PLAY CALIFORNIAN
MARTIN v. MERLE NATIVE OF
GOLDEN STATE
Playwright Was Prepared for the
Priesthood at the Jesuit
College at Santa
Clara

Martin V. Merle, the author of 1.-THE
Light Eternal" which will be staged
at the Belasco next week, is a native
son. He was educated for the priest
hood at Santa Clara college, and the
play was produced as a college produc-
ton during his senior year at that
institution. 1t was later revamped and
produced at the Liberty. theater, in
Oakland, and at the Van Ness at San
Francisco. 1t proved a decided sue
cess, and when produced later i'll New
York was highly commended by New
York critics. Mr.. Merle is in Los An
geles and will remain until after the
production of his play.
THE drama is not intended to con-
vey any deep religious meaning" said
Mr.. Merle yesterday. THE dramatic
possibilities of the struggles of the
early Christians in the Roman empire
led me to write it. / attempted to adj
here as closely as possible to historical
realities"
Mr.. Merle has decided to follow play
writing as a profession and now has
two dramas in process of construc-
ton. One will be called THE Vaga-
bond" and the scene will be laid in
France at the time of the "Three Mus
keteers." The other will be play of
modern life and will take up several
engrossing sociological problems.
Spectacular Play
"The Light Eternal" is a spectacular
production. and calls for elaboraf
staging. The Belasco management haA.
been busy the last week in preparation
and announces that the scenic effects
will be among the most elaborate ever
attempted in Los Angeles.
The scene is laid in Rome, at the
time of the emperor Diocletian, and
takes up the struggle between Chris
tianity and paganism. Marco Valerius,
the hero, is in love with the Princess
Artemia, the daughter of a Roman
project. Marco is Christian, al
though this is not known to Artemia,
and it's subsequent revelation supplies
much of the dramatic interest of the
play. Marco has a friend, Corvinus,
who also is in love with Artemia. Do
cletian arranges a debate between
Marco and Corvinus on the question,
SHOULD a real philosopher be ready
to die for the truth?" In the debate
Marco inadvertently uses the word
christian instead of philosopher, ="
and faith" instead of truth This
later leads Corvinus to the discovery
that Marco is a Christian, and in
creases his enmity for his rival. He
tells Diocletian that the other has en-
braced the new faith and Marco
is exiled. Through the influence of Sc
bastin, one of Diocletian's generals,
who is his friend he is sent to the
villa of the princess at the Campagna.
He has not previously known her, and
she falls violently in love with him,
not having learned that he is a Chris
tian. Her passion is reciprocated and
during a scene between the two Cor
vinus reaches the villa and asks for
an audience with the princess. She
at first refuses to see him. but later
yields and asks Marco to withdraw.
He lays his sword at her feet as n
pledge of his fealty to her, and leaves
with the understanding that she is to

lation in the suburbs of Los Angeles,

the Spalding branch postoffice, on Nor
rill avenue, east of Long Beach, and
will extend the free rural delivery to
persons living on Compton avenue and
Alameda street. from Manchester ave-
nue. to Lynwood and Sherb avenues,
Tajuta road and Lynwood avenue from
Compton avenue to Alameda street,
Tweedy road and Hellman avenue from
Alameda street to Wright road.
