RELIEF CORPS ORPHANAGE
MANAGEMENT CRITICISED
State Controller Refuses to
Draw Warrant for the
Institution

There is trouble on foot between the
Women's relief corps and the state au-
thorities In regard to the conduct OF
the relief corps orphanage at Vallejo.
1t has eliminated in Controller Nye
refusing to draw a warrant for the
monthly amount paid to the orphanage
and a threat on the part of the man
ayers to take the matter into the
courts.
Some time ago report became cur
rent that there were irregularit es in
the conduct of the orphanage,- az d an
investigation was made by Walter F.
Price of the state board of examiners.
He went thoroughly into the affairs of
the institution and short time ago
filed a report. He. said that he had not
found any financial irregularities, but
he severely criticised the management
of the orphanage. He stated that not
only were the children neglected, but
that the place was kept In an extremely
unsanitary condition. The lives of the
children were imperiled, he said and
in addition to that there was danger
of an epidemic on: account of the dis
ease breeding surroundings and condi-
tions. 1t was because of this report
that Controller Nye refused to draw a
warrant for the institution.

EXPERTS TO EXAMINE
GAS COMPANY'S PLANT
Supervisors Also Ask for an
Investigation of Its Ac-
counts

AS a preliminary step toward fixing
the gas rate for the coming year four
members of the finance committee OF
the board of supervisors-Broderi
Johnston, Murphy and Jennings-at
meeting last night decided to consult
with experts with the idea of engag-
ing them to examine the plant and
accounts of the San Francisco gas and
electric company.
The supervisors are of the opinion
that it will be impossible for them to
adjust the rate till they are in re-
ceipt of the figures of the experts.
Supervisor Murphy suggested that
Chairman Jennings of the committee
confer with A. M. Hunt, the we'll
known engineer, with regard to secur-
ing an estimate of the gas company's $
plant, and John Pettee, A. A. Stewart
and May, Laird & Co.. In connection
with the exporting of the books of the
corporation.
The supervisors intend to have every
item concerned in the making and
selling of gas thoroughly gone over.
After these have been submitted, 1t is
expected that the task of fixing the
gas rate will be much more simple.

FAILS TO SQUARE
THE PHOTO Theft
"Gumshoe" Eichols Unable to
Prevent Prosecution of
Examiner Reporters
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN DIEGO. March .25.-"Gumshoe'
Eichols, the man who squares things
for Hearst in southern California. has
days here and departed wondering why
he could not settle the difficulties that
the Examiner reporters got into. as he
had done in many another city under
similar. or possibly less trying. circum-
stances. He had tried all the arts
known to Hearstcraft. not directly per-
haps, but enough to know that none Of
the three would work. He was willing
to pay to have the prosecution of the
reporters who stole the Fitch films
called Off While he assured every
one that he was not wanting to
compound felony. he let it be known
that he knew something and was anx-
ious that the other fellow should first
suggest what it was.
Then he tried the next lay and saw
the political people. the bosses. as il
were: the men who had to a greater or
less extent made 1t possible for the dis
trict attorney to be the district attor-
ney, seeking what political influence he
could bring to bear. This failed. and
then jealousy was tried and the district
attorney was told that the political
leaders were going to withdraw their
support from the officer, that Charlie
Collier was going to run for congress
and that the prosecution of the Exam
iner reporters was the price paid for
the support of the Los Angeles Times
The talk passed for less than fts
weight in breath, and then work on the
next proposition was commenced and
Eichols and Johnnie Grey started to
see what they could fnd in the past of
the people connected with the prosecu-
tfon. Each was told that the Examiner
was after the other until finally Eichols
was told that he could find all there
was to find and publish IL on the front
pages of all the Hearst papers for 365
days a year, but the prosecution would
not be stopped by its publication Then
Eichols left and is said to be disgusted
with his failure.

CAST. OF CHARACTERS
IN THE PINERo PLAY.
"The Notorious Mrs. Ebb-
smith"
BY Walter. Anthony

To render the impossible possible, to
make the unreal real. to persuade that
what is immoral isn't. would not be
esteemed a light task for any actress.
but Mrs. Patrick Campbell performs
the miracle In taThe Notorious Mrs.
Ebbsmith" at the Novelty theater For
the mad Agnes, fanatical and visionary,
she succeeded in engaging the SYM
pathies OF her great audience last
night and made them wish that a
happier fate might have been stored
for the notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith. Such
technic to paint a portrait, such power
to project souls suffering from stage
not been witnessed before at the Nov
city. Her art Is incandescent, iIlumi-
mating and inclusively disclosing. Not
one corner Of Mrs. Ebbsmith's soul but
what was barred last night, and the
transitions from prophecies OF a new
idea, free love advocate and shouter
of speeches to the real authentic
woman were accomplished by the mere
tone of her voice, the nod of her head
or the significant waving of her hands.
Whether the portrait OF Mrs. Ebbsmith
10 Worthy OIL suCn a NnlSned artists
brush may well be doubted: whether
the play itself deserves the production
and your time may also be questioned.
II the essence OF a play is action,
then The Notorious Mrs Ebbsmith" is
no more than half hearted lecture for
free love. closing with an orthodox
conclusion; 1t is an argument in four
addresses. OF which two are for, and
tWo-the last two-against the wild
doctrines. Long, dreary wastes of dia-
logue. which Pinero by no means might
have omitted, fill up much of the plays
allotted four acts. The fact that the
speeches are bright only serves to point
out the emphasis of their unnecessity
There is little element of suspense, be-
cause You know from the first that the
man who is partner to the unconven-
tional compact is not actuated by the
higher, though visionary, notions of the
woman. and that the liaison cannot, for
tunately. last.
The weaknesses of the supporting
company were exhibited last night in
the work of Ben Webster, the lover
and recalcitrant husband. He failed to
say anything convincing. though there
were times when the element Of yeri-
similitude crept into his Interpretation
Of the vain egoist and egotist, Lucas
Cleeve- Miss Stella Campbell appears
only in the last act, but did good work
in her single scene. The rest of the
cast, except Edgar Kent, never rose
above fair expressiveness. Kent as the
old duke was satisfactory exponent
of the variety of English aristocrat
which Americans like to believe is typ
ical.

committee is too small TO accommodate
all those who would wish to attend.

are all men. In this the most import

it will be gentlemen before ladies.
