HUNGER FORCES IDLE
MAN TO STEAL PIE
Prisoner at Central Station Confesses
Stealing to Satisfy Cravings of
stomach and Is Given
His Liberty

Hungry, friendless and without mon
ey with which to purchase food, Har-
ry Smith, rooming at 2771s East First
street. prompted by the cravings of his
stomach, was unable to resist the temp
tation to take from ? lunch counter a
large pie.
Smith was walking along First street
trying to forget the hunger that was
driving him to desperation. He saw q
tamale wagon near the sidewalk. On the
counter of this lunch wagon was a large
pie.
Walking to the counter Smith took the
pie and without further ceremony stood
there and ate it. The proprietor of the
wagon was thunderstruck, and it was
several seconds before he could realize
what had happened
Calling policeman he gave an incoher-
ent account of how Smith had appropri-
aztec the pie. Smith was taken to the
police station by Patrolman Burch, who
related the circumstances to Prosecut-
ing Attorney Fleming. Smith was
brought into the prosecutors office and
questioned.

day." said Smith, land it wasn't any

The prosecutor refused to issue a
complaint and allowed Smith to go.

UNION OIL NOW
EARNS MILLIONS
SHOWING FOR 1907 Is ONE OF
MAGNITUDE
Doubles Its Earnings of Previous Year
and Reports Expansion In Every
observation-disclosures in
Dividends

According to a summary of the progress
of the Union Oil company of Los Angeles
the company's net earnings for lsVf were
$2,0SO,771.
This great amount Is nearly double
what the company earned in 1861, USssiS
and increases the rate of earnings from
IL to q per cent and the rate or divl-
dends by nearly 3la per cent. The stock
issued is 7S,O74 shares of the par value OF
$780,
The year was one Of immense develop
ment in all directions. The company
now has 213, 900 acres either owned, leased
or held under mineral claims. Its prop
critics are regarded as the choisest In
the producing field Wells are constantly
being drilled and yet the field has hard
Nv been punctured and only one well has
been abandoned. In the Santa Maria
field in the Hartnell pool one well Is pro-
ducing 1000 barrels daily and another 1900
and have been so doing for nearly year.
In its growth the company has made
large expansions in its facilities for re-
filming oil and has extended its homa
and foreign contracts, covering practical
" the whole coast region. The Bakers
field refinery was operated steadily
throughout the year and the refinery at
Oleum, near San Francisco, has been in
creased until its monthly capacity nearly
EQUALS its former annual capacity. This
plant Is to be further increased and the
company is preparing for an expansion OF
its already satisfactory Pacific and South
American business.

MANY POST0FFICE
CLERKS PROMOTED
Employees Who Have Made Good Rec
ords During the Last Year
Receive Advances in
Salary

Promotions for employees who have
made good records IN the department
were announced by Postmaster Motley II.
Flint yesterday, as follows;
January 1, 1908. the employees OF the Los
Angeles postoffice who have rendered
faithful and efficient services. during the
past year were promoted as follows:
Thirteen clerks from $500 to $500 per
nnnum, eight clerks from $500 to $500 pei
annum, three clerks from $500 to $lOOO per
annum, and four clerks from $1,000 to Sll0O
per annum.
Five letter carriers were promoted from
5000 to $500 per annlm seven letter car
riers from $500 to $1,000 per annum, and
seventeen letter carriers from $1,000 to
s1100 per annum.
Mr.. Flint declares a great injustice has
Leen done Superintendent N Ashcroft, IN
charge of the new station at Hollywood,
where the postal delivery service was but
recently installed.
He states Postoffice Inspector Frank
stewart has charge of the installation of
civ deliveries service, and obeyed orders
from washington. directing the appoint
ment of Ashcroft. The postmaster de-
clares Ashcroft should be given fair
trial, for great deal of work is entailed
in Installing a new system, and If he is
not competent to handle that business
another will be put in his place
The fact that there is no street directory
and that this deficiency has to be supplied
NV the postal employees themselves in the
newly created district is one of the many
obstacles to be overcome

SYNDICATE DEAL
FOR COPPER MINE
Arizona-Apaehe Property in Catalina
Mountains Has Been Under ln-
vestigatIon-Ensenada Iron
Holdings Involved

According to advices from Arizona the
visit of John Hays Hammond to southern
California Is not only to carry out TOT
tbe Cuggenheims deal for the purchase
of the Godby iron regions near Ensenada'
over the line, but he Is also to arrange
a deal whereby an English syndicate is
to come into possession of the Arizona
Apache copper mine in the Catalina
mountains.
Mr.. Hammond returned to the city from
Coronado last night, but sent word from
his room at the Van Mugs that he was Ill
and could not be seen. Advices from San
Diego Indicate that the deal with Colby
was put through and that the Guggen-
helms will control the property.
II Is understood that the English syn
dictate that Is seeking the Arizona-Apache
mines in represented by H. L. Wheatley
and that the deal is to be finally con-
cluded, If concluded at all, at meet
ing in Los Angeles within the next few
days. Inquiries do not reveal the pres
ence of Mr.. wheatler here. He left Tue
son Saturday with Maj. Burnham, f. J..
Pope and w. ]. Guthrie of Pasadena for
a conference with Mr.. Hammond. They
examined the property together and the
impression was created that the deal
was in satisfactory progress.
The sale of the Arizona-Apache group
would involve a consideration of at least
several hundreds of thousands of dollars,
as the company, which acquired the
Foran group of claims about year ago,
has done much development work and
the showings have for some time been
regarded as handsome.
The expectation is that the English
syndicate, If advised by Mr.. Hammond
to close the deal, will at once enlarge
the development work and make the dis
trict one of the biggest in the country.

ny sTDLE LAWRENCE

TIHE name of Frank Daniels appears
upon the Mason program this week
u in larger type than the name OF
his "comic OPERA" which proves merely
that the typesetter knows his business.
1.-THE Tattooed Man" without Daniels
would jeopardize the citrus crop ana
would send the mercury in the tube on
a drop flight to the sub-cellar. with
Daniels, however, and with the company
surrounding him it constitutes about the
best entertainment of it's kind Los An
geles has seen in several seasons.
Frank Daniels is as unalterable Is the
laws of the Modes and Persians. lie Is
the same yesterday, today and until the
end. His Omar I<hayyam, Jr,, or the
present production is only Buckingham
Giltedge of Little Puck days in a new
environment; just as Ali is Jinks Hoodoo
in another incarnation; and Fatima is
Miss Ticklesham. But Little Puck was
funny, and by the same token so is The
Tattooed Man"
Evidently the piece was written to
order, for it provides Daniels with oil
the old opportunities for funmaking In
which he las made good for 10 these
many years. Just one thing is missing
Daniels has cut out his osculatory gym
nastics with the chorus girls, though the
temptation is there in quite as attractive
form as ever before. He still sings with
his eyebrows and crates with his hands;
and he is still the low comedian pleni-
potentiary and extraordinary to the
American theatergoing public. There are
others, but for month or so after Dam
iels has pcen in town you wouldn't pc
able to remember their names If you tried
to introduce them to a friend.
Why He Is Funny
Out in the lobby last night after the
first act one of the habitual first-nlghters
asked RE why l thought Daniels was
funny. Tho answer to that is easy,
think he's funny because there's money
in it. Frank Daniels is a canny sort
He isn't on the stage for glory. He's
an ornithologist, a close student of the
habits of the great American eagle, as
that proud bird appears upon the coinage
of the republic. incidentally the Knick-

AoUEDUcT OFFICIALS CALM
OVER COTTONWOOD TACTICS

Special Counsel w. B. Mathews of the
Los Angeles aqueduct board is not wor-
ried by the efforts of George Chaffey's
legal advisers to tie up the city's rights
on and adjacent to Cottonwood creek on
the aqueduct route.
Suit filed in the superior court of Inyo
county is regarded by the aqueduct Of
flcials as merely an effort to force the
CITY to divide power and other rights
along the creek with the Chaffey inter-
ests so that the same bitches can be
used In common. The Charley syndicate
however, expects to build its own power
plants.
The opposition claims that Los Angeles
holds title only on a forestry service
hermit, revocable at any time.
Unless the board advises otherwise City
Auditor w. C. Mushet will continue to
honor demands for labor and materials
for the plant which the city Of Los An
geles has built alongside the creek.

wHITENs THE SKIN

The formula given below will DO
found wonderfully effective for
whitening the skin, even that Of
the darkest complexion. This mix
ture, while being absolutely harm
less, has peculiar chemical ac-
ton on the surface of the skin,
bleaching the cuticie and impart-
ing that creamy softness. which is
so desirable.
The formula was given out by q
noted dermatologist and is as fol-
lows:
Two ounces of Rose Water, one
ounce Spirits OF Cologne. four
ounces crystalized Sartoin. Put the
Sartoin in a pint of warm water.
then add the Rose Water and
Cologne Spirits, and after dissolved
and cooled strain through a fine
cloth. These ingredients are OBJ
tainable from any well stocked
druggist.
This will make a supply suffi-
cient for a months treatment, al
though the beneficial results are
usually apparent after the first few
applications. This should be used
daily and massaged well into tho
skin of the face, bust and arms. Te
produces a glowing sensation and
the use OF powders or rouge are
entirely unnecessary.
