STANDPiPE STAYS
WITH CANNON HILL

At meeting of the board Of
works and council committee with
property owners of Cannon hill
this morning it was decided to de-
fer action on the removal Of the
present standpipe to a point on
TWenty-ninth st. to supply the Ma
nito park section. About $4,000
could have been saved to the city
by moving the old standpipe in
stead of purchasing a new one. The
present standpipe cost about SILL
600, while to move it will cost
$4,000 added to about $1,000 to be
expended for a new foundation.
Water Commissioner Roy ex-
planned in detail that the city did
not propose to move the pumps,
but that they would be left in
place for cases of emergency. At
present the Cook Hill standpipe is
sufficient, together with the direct
pressure, to supply Cannon hill.

Society Woman Holds
Reception Behind
Prison Bars

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.-A
pretty, vivacious, well dressed and
altogether charming young society
woman in Jail would be a novelty
anywhere.
Add to all this that the said
charming young lady refuses to
leave the Jail and insists on hold
ing receptions behind the bars of
her cell, at which functions she
firmly refuses the offers of other
equally charming ladies to pay her
bills, and you have the "makin's"
of a real sensation.
The lady in question is Miss
Caroline Rogers. Who is she?
The Los Angeles detective force,
employees Of the fashionable Lark
ershim hotel. and a dozen or so So
ciety and literary persons are los
ing sleep over that very question.
Miss Rogers came to Los An.
geles several months ago. She was
talented. She had travelled extern
sively. She wrote verses, sketched
a little and incidentally made
friends. Modestly she made her
way into the most exclusive wom-
ems clubs.
Then came a bolt out of clear
sky. The hotel people wanted
their money. simultaneously Miss
Rogers disappeared. Later she
was arrested at the home of a
friend and put in durance vile on
the charge of defrauding a hotel.
Miss Rogers, dressed modestly,
richly and becomingly, receives all
callers at the Jail with the grace
that made her so many fashionable
friends. She talks entertainingly
on any subject, save who she is.
She has trunks full of curios col
lected during her travels.
Miss Rogers says she is prepar-
ing to mortgage her effects and
settle her hotel bill. That she is a
we'll known author in quest of adj
venture and concealing her real
name is a theory that is gaining
ground in Los Angeles social cir

PAOEREWSK|
WAS GROUCHY

Paderewski encountered several
little things that vexed him last
night, and the huge audience that
filled the armory to hear him got
a program favored nOticeably with
sour temper. The trouble started
when he discovered that a supply
of hot water in which to battle his
hands had been overlooked, and
later an attempt to ventilate the
hall resulted in a pianist's strike.
Paderewski served notice that he
wouldn't smite key if window
was raised for fear it would spoil
the effect of the music, and the au-
dience had to stand the air. Mat.
tiers were not helped any when the
first number, one of Paderewski's1
own compositions, met with rather.
faint applause.
While he played with the tech
nique of a master, his attitude con-
firmed the recent criticisms in the
East-that Paderewski is now ham,
mering out the music for the mon
ey. While the conscious critic,
primed to detect nothing but "tone
colOring" and other vaguely de-
scribed qualities, and while the in
terpretations are undoubtedly cor
rect and vigorous, there was no
frantic rush in Paderewski's direc-
ton when the final number was
concluded.
In personal appearance Paderew-
ski was disappointment to both
those who had seen him before
and those who had not. He is be-
ginning to show the marks of years
in rather gone to seed style. Dur
ing intermissions he smoked
cigarets, talked with his wife and
bathed his hands. For the even
ings performance he collected ST.
600 out of total receipts of $4,000.
Then he went to his car and left
for the coast. His wife occupied
front seat alone in the first row
for the concert. The members of
company X, on duty as ushers,
handled the big crowd in first rate
style. Those about the stage had
the doubtful honor of being de-
nounced as imbeciles by Paderew-
ski and had to stand for storm of
fault finding.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-Every time

cause of the fact that the week OF

the August monthly settlements,
whereas this year the week ends with
July 80, and no part of the August

larger than it would be otherwise. The

STARTLING MOVE BY PRIEST.

Woman Committed.

Chicago, July 31.-For the first time
since his sensational entry into the
criminal court. Father P. ]. O'Callag-

on which he expects to save Herman
Billik from the hangnan's moose. He
is convinced that Emma Vrzal Me
mann is the murderess in the case.
Mrs. Niemann has never been the sub
ject Of indictment or even Of the
vaguest charge in the cases.
The priest had intended to keep his
secret until, if his suspicious were con-
firmed, he would have entire proof OF
the innocence Of his protege in his
hands and with it could appear before
the public in the most spectacular er-
fort in modern criminology in the in
terests of condemned man.
With his hand forced, he was 10th to
disclose exactly his conception of
where the guilt for the deaths Of the
Vrzal family lies, but such was tha
ardor he felt that he revealed the
groundwork Of his suspicious and de-
clared his certainty that an investiga-
ton already begun would corroborate
them in every detail.

MANY HEAT VICTIMS.
Six Deaths and Numerous Prostra
ti6ns in Chicago in One Day.

Six Deaths and Numerous Prostra!
ti6n1s in Chicago in One Day.
Chicago, July 31.-Chicago yesterday
was the victim again Of a lake breeze
which carried hot, death dealing
moisture over the city during the entire
day. Six deaths which were directly
due to the heat and score of prostra-
tions had resulted before evening
brought relief.
This moist, sticky breeze, according
to Weather Forecaster II. B. Hersey,
was responsible for a condition which
brought about more heat nrostrations
than the suns rays. SuffenNg men and
women who sought relief ftbn the heat
in the city's far famed lake breezes
found themselves far more unconfort-
able than those who quietly remained
in their offices or homes.
Lake Michigan's sudden change OF
attitude-that of radiating heat instead
of refreshing breezes-is explained by
the fact that the surface of the lake
has during the weeks of continuous hot
weather become almost as warm as the
atmosphere. Air which now passes over
it, instead of being cooled, is laden
only with hot moisture.
Probably the most dramatic feature
of the day of tragedies was the death
of Ferdinand Rhein physical cult
ure teacher in the vacation schools,
who was struck down while drilling a
class of twenty pupils Mr.. Rhein was
employed in the Foster school, Union
and O'Brien streets.
