There is a "cullud pusson" down at

tice for their various stunts Tor tne

"Herb" Cornish and "Heine" Krohn
will be the bright particular ngnts
among the host of prize testers at the
circus festival. They have been study
ing the art of grotesque makeup WIN
results that have been pleasing 10
friends. AS an aid to the removal OF

to purchase a new bottle or the per-
fumed water every day, no matter now
little or much was used, untl! thelr
suspicious were finally aroused that all
was not we'll with the Florida water,
and that some one was helping himself
to it. Glancing around for possible
pilferer their glance fell upon PORK

as valet to the gentlemen ana MS dan-

among the Shriners who had business
at Venice. In order to test their sus-

ish: Lets empty out the FLORIDA

for results This was done and as
the phony perfumed water slowly van
ished Pork Chops" was anxiously
scanned. About the fourth day results
came, when the negro's hair began
turning a streaky, dirty white.
Then Cornish hashed up a truly
fiendish scheme. Taking a number of
the boys into his confidence he stated
the case to them and said: Lets cas-
ually pass Pork Chops ask his
health, say how badly he is looking
and get a doctor to fix up dose that
will serve as a lesson against MS ever
again pilfering perfume"
AS each man carried out his part
it was not long before the much per-
turbed Pork Chops" forced his way
into the presence of Mr.. Tammen and
exclaimed. For Gawds sake, boss. wat
all am de matter wild me?" Mr.. Tam
men gave one look at the negro's dim
blonde locks, took in the situation and
said solemnly: Pork Chops you have
yellow fever think, and will have to
go to the isolation hospital What have
| YOU been doing to yourself?" Pork
| Chops" hesitated. Then he asked feebly
| if he could not see a doctor. Mr.. Tam
men kindly took him to the physician

BOARD AGAIN TURNS DOWN
ENGINEER KOEBlG'S CLAIM
German Syndicate Offerd to Turn over
Its Alleged Rights and Hold
ings to Los Angeles
for $4,000

The board of public works decided
yesterday to notify the Silver Lake lr-
rigation and power company that IL
could not accept the tender OF tnat
company to sell all it's rights in the
owens valley for $4,000.
This is the claim that grew out of the
work of Engineer I-oebig for syndi-
cate of German capitalists who aliege
that surveys and filings ordered by
them along the aqueduct route ante
date those of the city at several points;
Attorneys for the cqueduct have all
along regarded the Koebig claims as
not well founded, and after the trip OF
inspection by General Chaffee, Major
Norton and Mayor Harper last month
this view was confirmed.
The Germans state that they spent
100000 in doing preliminary work 1or
sell their interest for one-half actual
cost, but the city's legal department
does not take the allegations seriously

ary, and Sent Alleged
Proofs of Death

After chase across the United
States Ira ]. Bayliss, former insur-
ance agent of Cohoes, N. Y, was ar
rested at Denair, Stanislaus county,
and brought to Los Angeles and locked
up in the city jail.
Bayliss was an agent of the Pru-
Dental Life Insurance company and
is charged with having defrauded that
corporation out of between $4,000 and
$1,000 by series of foregeries.
According to the officers who brought
Bayliss to Los Angeles the accused
man is said to have issued an insur-
ance policy on the life of an imag-
mary person. This policy was for $6500
and was made out in the regular way,
duly certified and returned to Bayliss.
A short time afterward Bayliss report
ed to the home office of the company
that this fictitious person was dead and
that he had been named as beneficiary.
Then, 1t Is said, Baylss forged a death
certificate, caused a death notice to be
published in newspaper forged a cor
oner's certificate and buried a dummy
in cheap coffin with the proper cere-
monies.
In due time a death claim was for
warded to the company for the insur-
ance and was paid.
Shortly after receiving the money
Bayliss left Cohoes. The officers of the
company became suspicious and caused
the coffin in which the remains of the
person on whom the insurance was
paid to be dug up. When the cover
was removed the trick was discovered
and Detective Johnson of the Cohoes
police force was detailed on the case.
He began to trail Bayliss and fol-
lowed him from city to city across the
country and finally caught up with
and captured him at Denair two weeks
ago. johnson at once telegraphed
Chief A. E. Adams of Cohoes, who OBJ
tained requisition papers and came to
California.
The two officers with their prisoner
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday morn
ing. Bayliss is a well dressed man
about 40 years of age. He appeared
cool and unconcerned, but refused to
make a statement regarding the case.
Officers Adams and Johnson will
leave with their prisoner for Cohoes at
10 o'clock today.

county jail, across the street from the
rooming house, rushed out with drawn
revolvers. thinking some one was be-
ing murdered.
The injured man was sitting on the
sidewalk with his right leg bent under
him. He was rocking to and fro and
muttering incoherently. An ambulance
was sent for and the demented man
was taken to the receiving hospital for
treatment.
After an examination the surgeons at
the hospital found Malta was suffering
from a dislocation and double fracture
of the hip. His injuries were dressed
and the man strapped to the bed.

~ EXCEPTIONS which disprove a
III rule are the Curzon sisters. whose
- smiling faces and graceful forms
are displayed at the Orpheum this week
in u novel areial act called "The Fly
ing Butterflies These two young
women have disproved two rules by
their success in vaudeville.
They have disproved the old saying
that there is nothing new under the
sun-nobody ever thought of such
thing in vaudeville as the CurZon SIS
ters are doing until they did 1T.
And they have disproved the rule
that immediate success depends upon
having a "pull' with the management.
When the sisters came to prominent
vaudeville booking agent and told MN
they had a new act he just laughed.
"There are no such things as new
acts" he replied.
But ours is new" they insisted.
'How do you know it is new?'
because we invented 1t all by our
selves"
And so strongly did they insist that
theirs was really new that they got
a chance to show 1t, but even then
they secured no engagements for a
time.
1--WE are not anxious to have any
fatal accidents on our STAGE was the
answer they received everywhere. Man-
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-19

ayers did not care to trust these young
amateurs in so perilous an act.
But again persistence won out and
the Curzon sisters in their flying but
terfiies act became the sensation OF
the New York Hippodrome.
The young women are frank in their
statement that they do the "Flying
Butterflies" absolutely and solely for
the money it brings. No stage fever
in theirs! They are materialists and
love the good, gold coin, but prefer
currency, which is easier to carry In
large amounts.
1--WE had to make living somehow,
said one of them when asked how it
feels to swing by the teeth twenty
five feet above the stage. What odds
how it feels if it brings the coin? It's
honest, and after all, should we need
them, the salary we get will buy any
number of false teeth.
1--WE don't expect to do this act for
ever We are working on another nov
city, and when the Flying Butter
flies act is old we shall have a better
one.
Meanwhile, as you see, we are at
the top of the bill, and that is a satis-
faction to a girl who has always had
to fight her own battles"
The sisters do not look like fighters.
They are rather of the type of girl
called "cuddling and confiding." but
appearances are sometimes deceptive.
