SUPERVISORS TO
ACT ON BONDS
MUST DECIDE TODAY AS TO
ACCEPTANCE OF BIDS
Bank and Trust Company Have Indl-
Gated That They VIII Oppose
Entertaining of Any Rival
Proposition

Interest in Los Angeles city and
county centers today in the action the
board of supervisors will take as to the
sale of the $3,500,000 good road bonds,
bids for which were received a week
ago. Sentiment generally is in favor Of
accepting one of the bids for a small
issue of the bonds, one reason given
being that only q part of the whole
amount is needed at present and that
better prices for future issues can be
secured, owing to an advancing bond
market.
1t is barely possible, however, that
the board may find itself confronted
with a serious question regarding the
legality of it's action in amending its
advertisement Of September % two
weeks ago. This resolution called for
bids to be opened last Monday, either
for the whole or part of the bond issue.
According to a tabulated statement
of bids, submitted a week ago and pre-
pared by Chief Deputy District Attor-
ney Hartley Shaw, there is only one
proposition that adheres strictly to the
specifications of the advertisement
This is the bid made by the Farmers
and Merchants National bank and the
Southern Trust company.
1t has been indicated already that
the makers of this bid will oppose
the acceptance of any other PROPOSE
ton submitted a week ago, and should
they take this stand. another delay in
the bond sale is quite probable. Re-
sponsibility for this delay, should it oc-
cur, would rest with the "solid three
of the board-Supervisors Patterson,
Wilson and Eldridge-as they firmly
refused to withdraw the advertisement
of September &c and readevrtise for
bids, seeking to amend 1t by resolu-
ton.
1t was the fear that just such a
predicament would arise that led Su-
pervisors Alexander and Manning TO
make their strenuous but unsuccessful
fight for a. readvertisement for bids.

AT ISIS HOPE BOOTH, now playing
V at the Orpheum, Is in the Pc
Ia culiar position of making sport
of the profession in which her husband
is one of the leading lights.
Miss Booth in social life is Mrs.
Rennold Wolf, and Mr.. Wolf is the
erudite and accomplished dramatic
critic of New York paper of high
standing. His writings are looked upon
as fair, learned and strong. Yet in
1.-The Little Blonde Lady," an eruption
of the Cohan pen, Miss Booth makes
all sorts of sport of the critic, even to
the point Of depicting him as unscrupu-
lous, cowardly and caddish.
How do L reconcile the play and my
real feelings?" Miss Booth said when
asked. Il don't. In other words, l
do not take the play seriously. 1t is
satire, a joke, a Cohanism, if you
please Instead of my looking upon
dramatic critics as such liars and cads
as he would make them out L think
they are fine, admirable fellows. Why
should 1 not, when my own husband
is one?
perhaps, as some have suggested,
Mr.. Conan had q shaft of scorn for
the reviewers because they do not take
him seriously; l do not attempt to
analyze his work. 1 only care that 1t
is lively sketch, that it seems to
please the public and that it generally
makes a hit as we'll as creates a laugh.
Besides being married to a dramatic
critic you know, I am newspaper
woman myself, and you know how
loyal we are to our profession. l could
earn my living with my pen today,
but-well, 1 like the stage"
Miss Booth speaks truly about her
newspaper ability. She it was who
secured one Of the greatest beats in
recent newspaper history-the famous
interview with Nan Patterson, when
the -Florodora sextetter was in jail
for killing a New York bookmaker
All others failed, but Miss Booth, by
tact and cleverness, got columns-the
first real story Of the crime. 1t gave
her a standing in the newspaper world
which she has never lost and place
is always open to her when she steps
from behind the footlights. This, how
ever. she is not likely to do soon, as
next season she is to be starred, pos
sibly in an elaboration of her present
sketch.

wise when he made up his mind tnaI
Los Angeles was ripe for a season OF
stock opera, clean, bright, good ana
unhackneyed. His company is ade-
ouate in every detail, the principals

elements of a good show, and Hartman
has them.
The Ga1nut club will take official cog
nizance of the Hartman season on Fri

honor of the club. Then the organlza-
ton members with their ladies will oc-
cupy specially reserved seats in BODY
and attend to pay honor to Hartman
and his "fanily." The club will act
formally on the matter Wednesday.
Hartman has already been asked to

A majority of the actors are Indians

can. with an unprincipled army officer
as his tool, causes all of the troubles
