S0RR0WING FRIENDS
FOLLOW BODY TO GRAVE
FUNERAL OF SELWYN GRAVES
HELD
Beautiful Floral Offerings Sent by
Former Comrades of Youth Who
Lost His Life in FrightfuI
Auto Accident

Followed by long cortege of sorrow
ing friends the body of young Selwyn
Graves, the young and popular son OF
J. A. Graves, vice president of the
Farmers and Merchants bank, was
placed in it's last resting place.
Young Selwyn Graves life had been
one of greatest promise until the mo-
ment when it was crushed out beneath
the wheels of the train.
]. A. Graves, father of the young
man, and the whole family were pros
trated by the sudden death of their
loved one.
Yesterday morning the medical de-
partment, University of Southern Call
fornia, was closed, the students and
faculty attending the funeral service
There was no business transacted Al
the Farmers and Merchants bank until
after the funeral service. These tokens
of respect and esteem were but slight
acknowledgment of the high place the
young man held.
Young Selwyn Graves was especially
popular and was counted as one of the
most prominent and promising young
men in the medical department at the
college. He was to have graduated
next June with the class of '0S, and his
classmates and fellow students have
been cast into deep sorrow by his death
Members of the graduating class acted
as pallbearers at the funeral.
The impressive Episcopal service was
read at the funeral held yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock at the family res
idence in Alhambra. The home was
filled with sorrowing friends, and sew
eral wagons were required to transfer
the many floral offerings to-the Alham-
bra cemetery, where burial was made
Members of the Los Angeles Bankers
association attended the service yes
terday and in addition to the student
body of the medical department the
faculty, with whom young Graves was
ponular, attended in a body.

&c The Theaters e
SHE MAKES RUBLES
WHILE you WATCH

W on may see rubies and sapphires
manufactured at the OrpheuIn
n this week. You may also be lucky
enough to get n sample of the hand
made gems when they are distributed
through the audience. Likewise you
may see a young woman set fire to j
block of ice and burn a hole In it-not
melt it, if you please, but actually burn
1t. Then, too, you may witness conabus-
tion in water; you may see burning
mass descend into a glass vessel filled
with water and watch the burning
process continue for a half minute or
so after the immersion.
Miss Alice Norton is this modern day
wonder worker Miss Norton is an

student of Prof. Pictet of Zurich,
Before she leaves town several thou
sand persons who never before had
heard of the professor are going TO
have an unbounded respect for his sc-
complishments. Not being a lapidarist
/ am unable to assure you that the
manufactured ruby is as good as the
nature-made product; but Miss Norton
says it is, and she ought to know. The
gems are said to be produced under
5400 degrees of heat, though how they
ever measured it is a mystery.

Violet Dale, Mimic
Violet Dale. announced as America s
greatest mimic" sought to prove her
title yesterday afternoon by giving imi-
tations of Fay Templeton, Trixie Fri
ganza, Vesta Victoria and Marie Lloyd.
None of these performers is known to
any considerable number of Los An
geles theatergoers, but If they are as
sprightly and entertaining as Miss
Dale's limitations of them their popu-
larity in the east and abroad is readily
understandable. During her imitation
of Miss Templeton, Miss Dale sang $50
Long, Mary" The Trixie Friganza
number was mo Wedding Bells for
Me-" from ''The Orchid;" the Vesta
Victoria selection, Poor john" and
the Marie Lloyd number, a Spanish
burlesque done, presumably, in Miss
Lloyd's best London music hall STYLE
The last new act upon the program
is contributed by the four sisters
Amatis, who play classical selections
upon two baby grand pianos, duet of
duets; and who sing. One of the sis
ters is a oomedienne into the bargain.
The holdover acts include Fred Wal
ton and his comedy in the very excel
lent pantomime playlet, "Cissie's
Dream" the Picchiani troupe of aero
bats Czinka Parma, Hungarian instru-
merNalist, and her dancing dogs, and
the Clarkes, banjoists.

pheum has offered for long time.

PHONE RATES
WILL REMAIN
UNCHANGED
COUNCIL PosTPoNEs ACTION ON
OTHER MATTERS
Wallace Tries to Advance Home
company's Rates, but Colleagues
Fail to Respond to
Motion

The city council settled the tele-
phone rates for 19OS-Oo by fixing them
at the last years figures.
This is the first of the public utility
rate decisions, the others to be rem
dered probably next Monday.
After an all-day session the vote was
taken with all but Councilman Wren
voting to let the rates stand. President
Pease who is acting mayor, was IN lne
chamber, but could not vote because
of the mayors absence. Councilman
Wren being speaker pro TEN.
Councilman Wallace again announced
that though he voted as he did after
vainly trying to equalize the rates ana
then raising the Home company's rates
to $3.50 he believed that a commission
of experts should assist the council
men In rate making hereafter, partly
relieving them of that responsibility.
Unjust to Home Company
Councilman Wallace pointed out that
the Home company was at disadVan-
tage with bond buyers, as they could
say that although the Home company
paid more in taxes than it's rival, it
could not charge as much for its ser
vice and was Disseminated against in
its own city.
"Seeing that the Home company
paws larger taxes directly into the
city" said he, 1.-THE fact is fairness re-
uuires more consideration for the
Home company"
Councilman Pease said he supported
Mr.. Wallaces position.
ssIt seems to me the discrimination
between the two companies is decided
ly wrong" said he. There has been
no argument worth while which shows
that the Home company is not entitled
to a higher rate for the reason that it
gives Los Angeles a better service and
pays more into the treasury.
1.-THE Sunset has only 1000 phones at
SO a month. while the Home company
has 1000 at 50 a month
AS to Gas
The question of gas rates was then
brought up and before voting to lay 1t
over till next week Councilman Wallace
remarked that he believed the people
were much more concerned about get
ting sufficient supply of good, pure
gas than to have the rates lowered 5
Jents or so. Furthermore. they were in
terested in having the company sup
press the smoke that hovers about it's
plant.
Several councilmen said they wanted
more information, hence they asked
for delay, when City Attorney L. r.
Hewitt suggested that if the council
agreed to delay the voting on gas rates
it should have a good reason for so
doing.
Attorney Robert Loucks, represent
ing the Public Utility association,
formed of consumers and patrons of
light, gas, power and phones, said he
saw no reason for postponing. The
utility companies had refused to make
and show frank statements such as
the council required, hence there need
be no delays.
Tract Owner j. Harvey Mccarthy
then made a fiery speech demanding
that the lighting companies reduce
their charges for installing poles in new
subdivisions to $16, the reputed actual
cost. They were now charging as much
9s $40 each.
Action on gas, power and lighting
was laid over one week.
