The Jefferson theatre was opened last night for the fall and winter theatrical season with the ever popular Tim Murphy and his company in Cupid and the Dol
 lar,' a comedy of manners by Charles Jeffrey. The theme is one that is much on the tongue these days-the barter of foreign titles for American gold The play is rather "talky," but it has a great many bright lines and the part afforded MT. Murphy is ideally suited. He is again a diamond in the rough, a bluff, hearty American citizen, with a great many dollars and a whole lot of sound common sense. His observations on the nobility in general and especially titled sons-in-law who refuse to work are felic- itous and rich in humor. MT. Murphy was most happy in his performance last night The house was filled with his friends and they left nothing to be de- sired on the score of cordiality. The laughter was frequent and unstinted, while the applause was whole-souled. Miss Dorothy Sherrod a player of dis tinct charm and ability, was excellent in MT. Murphy's support, as his leading lady. The remaining members of the company were satisfactory. The per formance in it's entirety was one to still further increase Mir. Murphys hold on local theatregoers. His quaint personai- ty was set off to fine advantage.

SALVATION ARMY Is
SEEKING AMENDMENT T
City Attorney VIII Recommend No
Action Be Taken Until lnJunc-
ton Case Is De-
cided

The Salvation Army is preparing to
make another appeal to the city coun-
Gil Monday to amend the street speak
ing ordinance so as to give 1t the priv
lege of holding half-hour street meet
ings every evening in the restricted
district.
The council two weeks ago refused
to place this amendment in the ordi-
nance, and although two or three MEM
bers are in favor of it, majority pre-
fers to leave the ordinance alone. They
have found that every time they touch
it something happens, and they object
to giving privileges to one orSaniza-
ton that cannot be granted to all.
When the ordinance first became q
law the Salvation Army started to fight
II by suffering arrest but soon changed
its tactics and has brought suit in the
superior court asking for an injunction
restraining the city from enforcing
the street speaking ordinance. The fact
that this injunction still is pending
will be the basis of 8 recommendation
from the city attorney that the council
take no action until the case is de-
cided.
The Salvation Army has been given
a permit by the chief of police to
march through the streets once during
the day, and unless the court grants
the injunction or, In a test case, de-
clares the law unconstitutional. This
is all the organization is likely to
secure from the city authorities.

INCENDIARY SETS FIRE TO
OIL DERRICK SECOND TIME
Flames Communicate to Two Tanks
Containing 1000 Gallons of Crude
MateriaI-Loss Estimated
at $500

Fire ofan incendiary origin destroyed
two oil tanks and their contents, also
a derrick, the property of the Lapp &,
Clifton Oil company, at $50 Ramona
street last night, entailing a loss Of
$500.
The derrick which was burned last
night was partly destroyed Friday
night. The origin of the first fire is
mysterious and the owners Of the der
rick can offer no explanation.
Last night they made a statement
that the place was undoubtedly set on
fire, and probably by a discharged en-
ploye or other person with fancied
grievance.
The fire when first detected had
wrapped the derrick in flames, which
quickly were communicated to the oil
tanks. The tanks were of 1000 gallons
capacity each, and were filled with
crude oil.
The fire was spectacular and attracted
a great crowd to the scene. Owing to
the nature of the burning material the
firepent had a difficult and hazardous
undertaking to extinguish the blaze,
but under the direction of Chief Lips
got it under control within an hour.

New Departure for Los Angeles

The fact that Los Angeles is daily
becoming more cosmopolitan Is evil
denced by the opening Of many stores
devoted to exclusive lines. One of
these, The Juvenile company, will have
it's formal opening tomorrow at its
beautiful store located at 429 South
Broadway.
In this new store will be found a
complete line of wearing apparel for
children and young men. Everything
that is needed for the little tots can be
found here, as well as clothing and ac-
cessories for the older boys and girls.
The goods are all direct from the fash
ion centers of the east and are marked
at the lowest prices that are consistent
with reliable merchandise. Two lines
that are especially worthy are the
girls coats and boys school suits.
For the young men and men who
stay young this new firm shows the
famous Society Brand clothes, which
are recognized as the greatest achieve
ment In the art OF ready-made clothes.
The store will be under the personal
management of Mr.. L. Schwartz. who
has been connected with the juvenile
clothing business Of Los Angeles for
number of years.

DECLARES AMENDMENT
DOOR FOR PERJURY
JUDGE C0NREY ADDRESSES
CITY CLUB
Riddles Suggested Change in State
Constitution Requiring New Law
Governing Barter of Stock
Futures

Judge N. p. Conrey declared to the
City club yesterday that the proposed
amendment to the state constitution
known as senate amendment NO. .
'looks very much like the opening of
another door for perjury"
The proposed amendment, if adopt
ed, will require the legislature to enact
a law prohibiting the fictitious buying
and selling of shares of stock. Judge
Conrey believes that this would simply
call for a change in the present law
which would rebound to the benefit OF
STOCK gamblers and do away Win d
statute that has been fully tested IN
the courts. He went into the matter
with considerable detail, which gave
the members OF the club clearer idea
OF the reason for the presentation OF
the amendment.
IF the people of California in 1908,
like the people of California In 1SIo'
ne said, recognize stock gambling as
a public evil, and if they are in 1aVor
of a law which will effectively interfere
with that business $50 far as any law
will do so), then they have now the ad-
vantage of a constitutional provision
which has stood the test of an attack
extending through all the courts.
They have the benefit of decisions
which have shown to a certainty how
the law is regarded by the. courts.
Generally speaking, it is better that the
law shall remain settled and certain.
Changes in the fundamental law should
not be made without some strong and
controlling public necessity.
IAN Illustration of the disadvantage
to the public which perhaps would fol-
low from d change in the phraseology
of the constitution may be found In
that part of the amendment which in
troduces the word fictitious In the de-
scription of prohibited transactions and
which also refers to contracts made
without any intention to deliver or to
receive the shares.
IF this amendment shall be adopted
it will be found that the litigation
which will follow in actions to deter
mine contract rights with reference to
this section of the constitution Will
consist largely in attempts to deter
mine whether transactions are or are
not fictitious.
There will also very probably be diff
ficulties created for the courts in pass
ing upon the truthfulness of testimony
as to whether parties had the i44ten-
ton to deliver or to receive the shares
1t looks very much like the opening oil
another door for perjury"

Lord Bacon Said,

This Is the Secret of Life in Business
or in Health

This Is the Secret of Life in Business
or in Health
1t is claimed that Lord Bacon struck
the prime keynote of life when he
wrote: "Some books are to be tasted,
others to be swallowed. and some few
to be chewed and digested."
He wrote of books; many who have
followed him have written likewise Of
life. The man who digests his business
makes success; the actor or actress
who digests his or her art brings fame;
the man who lives life and digests it as
he should lives as was the intention he
should live.
It is not the food you swallow or
taste that brings happiness to you; 1t
is the food you digest.
If you swallow and taste and don't
digest and chew, Nature cannot give
you health, for you do not furnish the
ammunition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain in
pure, concentrated form the essences

own once wild regions west OF the MIS-
sissippi river, and combine to present
a picture that is almost incomprehensi-

rivalry of fifteen different races and
nations.

in which they are recruited. many

still with Colonel Cody, to represent a
type Of man which is nearly extinct
and difficult to recruit. They are,
seemingly, a part of the animals they
bestride, the most vicious of which are
seldom able to unseat these skilled
equestrians.
The American Indian, riding Is only
nature provided before the saddle was
known to him, is not the least inter-
esting of this great aggregation.
The strangely garbed Cossack from
the far-off Caucasus mountains, the
most expert rider in all Europe, per-
forms feats of daring horsemanship.

BEATEN AND ROBBED
BY RECENT GUESTS
Laborer Stands Treat to Strangers,
Displays His Money and is
Knocked SenseIess on
Way to Chinatown

Charles Seawall, a laborer living at
the Greater Los Angeles hotel, 227K
East First street, engaged in conversa-
ton with two strangers at First and
Los Angeles streets last night and in
vited them to have a luncheon and
drinks.
In paying Seawall displayed what ap-
peared to be a large sum of money.
Shortly afterward the two men invited
him to go to Chinatown with them,
and he walked up Los Angeles street
between the two men. At the inter-
section of Alameda street the two men
attacked him, and after beating him
into insensibility robbed him of $50.
Seawall was badly bruised and cut
about the face and head. His wounds
were dressed at the receiving hospital,
and detectives We're assigned to the
case, Seawall having furnished good
description of his assailants.

The floor Of the big social hall of
the temple will be scraped this week
and the finishing touches put on before
the opening ball Saturday evening.
which will be the first function in the
hall The electrical decorations will
surpass the original plans and the
souvenirs will be unusually attractive.
The State Federation of Labor
passed emphatic resolutions on the
political policy of organized labor and
took steps to keep up an active cam
paign for the Democratic ticket
special resolution was passed urging
the formation of Anti-Otis clubs wher-
ever there is union of any kind.
These clubs are political and represent
organized labor's protest against the
action of Republican leaders In favor
ably considering Harrison Gray Otis
of the Los Angeles Times as eligible
to the position of secretary IF war"
Clubs have already been formed in the
larger cities of California and state
headquarters have been opened at Alb
Ala Union Trust building, Los Angeles.
Busy Entertaining Visitors
Officers of the local carpenters un-
ions have been kept busy entertaining
delegates to the International conven-
ton at Salt Lake who have come to
Los Angeles to see the city Among
the visitors here some of the. inter-
national officers, who were entertained
at the Hollenbeck hotel as guests Cf
the Los Angeles unions.
The carpenters expect to have an
unusually strong program for the mass
meeting at the Labor temple Tuesday
evening. They hope to make a record
in attendance which will stand for
some time to come. Every union car
penter in the city is now at work and
at union wages.
The laundry workers will hold their
annual ball in the social hall Novem-
Der Z, making 1t an after-election af-
fair. The laundry workers have rep
utation In union circles for offering
especially attractive functions, but
they intend to eclipse their reputation
this year.
Despite the usual number of other
attractions the sale of tickets for the
bartenders' ball at Turner hall October
25 shows that its popularity among
those who have attended former blue
button balls keeps it up near the head
of the list
Delegates Hay and Fennessy, who
have been at the State Federation
meeting, will return from San Jose to-
day.
at will be a long time before the
politicians forget the stand of organ
lied labor in this election, if they ever
forget it," says w. A. Enge, president
of the central labor council.
One result Of the strong union agi-
tation in Los Angeles this summer will
show in the organization of unions in
trades that have never before been
unionized in this city. The union cam
paign conducted by a few of the
stronger unions is of material benefit
TO labor organizations in every line of
trade and thereby strengthens Los An
geles as a union town.
