CITY AND COUNTY
GIVE FLEET FUNDS
HARBoR COMMISSION WILL DIS
BURsE $4,000
Council and Supervisors Find Way to
Appropriate Money Without
Running Counter to Laws
Limitations

Reconsidering it's former action the
city council yesterday appropriated
$4,000 for any uses the harbor COM
mission may see fit in entertaining the
officers and men of Admiral BOD
Evans battleship fleet.
The charter limits the amount to be
appropriated By the council for public
celebrations t. $4,000 in any one year,
but by turning it over to the harbor
commission the charter is not Violated
and the act is done on the advice of a
half hundred prominent citizens who
are willing to bear the responsibility
for thus voting away public money.
This sum gives the finance committee
a substantial start in its work of ac-
cumulating an expense fund.
The success of the arrangements for
the entertainment of the great fleet
now on its way to San Pedro, as far
as los Angeles county is concerned,
was Yesterday given assurance by the
action of the board of supervisors,
when that body appropriated $4,000 from
the county funds to be used Tor the
purpose.
The appropriation followed lengthy
discussion, not over the question
whether the money should be appro-
priated. but what fund 1t should be
taken from. 1t was finally decided the
amount should be taken from the ex-
position fund, thus leaving $o0OO Tor
exposition purposes, the state law pro-
v.ding that the board shall not set
aside more than $4,000 in any one year
Tor expositions.

Wonnen's Clubs
HnUR greatest work is the making
of Americans" said Rev. Dana
" Bartlett esterdav afternoon in

of Americans, Sald Kew. Dana
" Bartlett yesterday afternoon in
the course of fifteen-minute talk be-
fore the Ebell on the needs of his peo-
rle, the foreign-born population VINO
reside in the Eighth ward, who form
the environment of which Bethlehem
Institutional church is the center, and
who constitute the problem to the
happy solution of which Mr.. and Mrs.
bartlett are giving their lives.
The particular phase of the problem
with which Mr.. Bartlett Is struggling
this winter is that of furnishing work
for the unemployed and incidentally
food and heat and clothing for the i'll
and infirm and for the little children
who are dependent on these wage
carriers. Hundreds of families in the
city today, he says, are racing eVlc-
ton; the larders are empty and the
household furnishings are being SOLD
piece by piece. Conditions among this
class are steadily growing worse ana
there seems 10 better prospect in the
near future. The work of relieving
their necessities is not one of charity
but is simply a question of reaching
out a helping hand. of standing shout
der to shoulder with a brother in need.
These people are foreigners who come
from the mountains and valleys and
rlains of the old world and from the
ends of the earth. They represent al
most every nation and every creed on
the globe, and it remains for us to
make of these component parts a
reasonable, harmonious whole.
Who have been their teachers in the
past? We good people-we draw our
skirts away from the 100000 Souls
who come to our shores annually and
standing eager to take our places and
doing their work we'll were the saloons,
the ward politicians and the brothels.
Mr.. Bartlett's earnest words were
followed by q scarcely less fervent plea
from Mrs G. N. Sterry, who has been
actively engaged in relieving the neces-
stiles of these poor people for months,
and who represented the conditions
that she has found in many families
as a veritabe struggle from hand to
mouth. Mrs. Sterry is secretary and
treasurer of committee composed OF
Mrs. C. c. Carpenter, Mrs. John X.
Haynes, Mrs. Fred Walton, Mrs. sum-
ner p. Hunt and Mrs. T. e. Gibbon,
who are ably seconding Mr.. Bartletts
efforts, and she asked that each Ebell
member pledge one dollar year to-
ward a Bethlehem fund. The same
request will be made of every club
woman in the city When Mrs. Sterry
had closed her brief plea Mrs. Eliza
beth Fonda was heard in a group of
songs.

THE CAST

NEORGE V. HOBART is either an
vT unusually brave or an extraor-
VI dinarily careless man; 1 don't
know which. Hobart not only wrote
Coming Thro' the Rye" but he has
permitted the thing to be presented In
various cities all over the country with
his name attached to 1t. If the piece
pays him royalties he ought to- be pres
ecuted for obtaining money under false
pretenses, for this "song play" SO far
as it's book is concerned, is about the
weariest lot of twaddle ever inflicted
upon Los Angeles audience at $1.5O
prices. Coming Thro' the Rye" more
over, is not Hobart's first offense. Sew
eral years ago he wrote THE Sleepy
King" Dick Ferris produced it in
Duluth. He spent the profits of year
or so of stock companies on the produce
ton and the piece ran for six consecu-
tive weeks, after which it was shelved.
Yet 1.-THE Sleepy King" was far and
away a better show than Coming
Thro' the Rye"
Somebody's wasn't Dick Ferris
has spent lot of money on this latest
Hobart effusion. The scenery is not
particularly remarkable, but the cos
tiously expensive. The gowns of the
show girls, if they were not made In
Paris, might have been; and the Choir
us costumes, particularly in the bron-
cho ballet, are better worth looking at
than the girls inside them, though the
proportion of girl to costume is sur
prisingly large.

and fell, letting the lamp drop.
The burning oil was thrown I'm all

Hyatt could do nothing to combat it,
In fact, he found his escape from the
basement an extremely narrow one,
and before he could alarm his family
and begin the removal of the house.

entire lower story of the building.
An alarm was telephoned to a near
by engine house and box alarm was
turned in, but by the time the fire
apparatus arrived the house was prac-
tically destroyed.
Paintings Are Saved
Mr. Hyatt, with the assistance of
neighbors, succeeded in saving many
valuable pieces of furniture and num-
Der of paintings.
A fire shortly after o'clock last
night, which started from the explo-
sion of an instantaneous heater in a
bath room, damaged the residence of
A. F. George, 1901 West Seventh street,
to the extent of $780,
Mr. George had entered the bath
room for the purpose of taking a bath
and turned on the gas In water heat
er. A few minutes later there was an
explosion, which blew out the top Of
the heater and set fire to the wood
work of the bath room.
Mr. George tried to extinguish the
flames, but was unable to do so, and
he then ran and gave the alarm.
The fire spread from the bath room
to the attic of the building and burned
out the partitions Of the room before
it was extinguished.
