music lovers bears eloquent testimony
to the truth OF the statement that the
Steinway is just as much the piano for
the music lover of limited wealth as it is
for the castle of the Emperor.
We have said you will ultimately
want a Steinway-
This is literally true.
1t always happens. and unless you
guard against it you'll have to make
sacrifice when this Steinway temptation
becomes too great to resist, for then
you'll bargain to trade in your cheaper
piano for Steinway, and unless this
cheaper piano was purchased of us you'll
not get all you paid for it
To protect those who know that
within few years their love for music
and ambition for the best OF all things
will crowd them into an intense long
ing for a Steinway we make. the follow
ing proposition. This offer enables all
those who can not afford a Steinway
now, and who can afford a cheaper
piano. TO secure a temporary piano, and
at the same time be protected against
loss when the time comes to trade the
cheaper piano for the Steinway.
This is the proposition we make to
you:
Any one purchasing a piano of us
may exchange it at any time within
three years for Steinway, at which
time we will allow them on their
Steinway every cent they paid on their
other piano. By this plan you prac~
tically have the use of any new piano in
our store for three years and will be in
a position to have fine, new Steinway
whenever you want it without any loss.

In every nook and corner of the
globe where good music is priced can
! be heard the voice of the Steinway
Piano.
In the palaces Of Kings an En-
perors, in the homes of musicians of
renown, aboard the ocean greyhound, in
the sumptuous suites OF DIR great
American hotels, the Steinway Piano
constitutes an integral and indispensable
part of the furnishings.
In the foremost music schools and
in the concert halls and opera houses of
the art centers of both hemispheres the
Steinway stands as the criterion of piano
excellence by which all others are meas
ured.
1t is uhquestionably and unqualified
ly the piano that is universally recog-
nized as the worlds standard-it is the
ultimate piano, the one great piano we
all eventually wish fort marks the
zenith of the highest aim in piano perfec-
ton, and is as dear to the heart of the
true musician and is as Sure to be de
sired eventually by the pianist as a
Stradivarius violin is wished for by the
violinist
The Steinway Piano is the master
key OF music, and although its price is
low for masterpiece and differs but
little from the price of many ordinary
pianos, it is loved by its possessors as
priced work of art, an object of real
affection to be handed down from one
generation to another.
Any person of moderate means may
become the owner of Steinway, and
the fact that Ithe Steinway Piano has
already found an abiding place in more
than $4,000 homes of all classes of

SAY CLERK STOLE
FUNDS FROM STORE
ALLEGED TO HAVE FORGED MAN.
AGER's NAME
Younu Man Who Worked for Small
Salary Owned an Automobile
and Much Valuable
Property

William B. Harvey, clerk in the
Central department store, was arrested
Yesterday on a complaint sworn to by
Eugene Canister, a department man
ager of the store, charging theft OF
funds from the establishment.
Harvey, 1t is alleged, stole money by
forging the department managers name
to c. o. D. slips and keeping the
amounts named.
When purchases were sent out G. o.
d. and for any reason returned, the
slip would be o KID by the department
manager and the goods returned to
stock. Harvey's system, it is claimed,
was to get slips for goods that had
been collected for, take the money and
o K the bills with the department
managers signature and convey the
impression the goods were brought
back. It is said he has been working
this method for some time and that
the amounts taken daily by him aver
aged S25.
Harvey received a salary of s1S a
week, He owns an automobile and has
100 acres of land somewhere in North
ern California.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
KIDNEY TROUBLE

Kidney trouble is inflammation o. the
kidneys due to colds, exposure, worry.
excuses in eating and drinking, etc.
Backache is seldom an evidence of
Inflammation of the kidneys.
Smokiness or sediment that can be
seen with the naked eye is not usually
an evidence of a very serious stage
of the Inflammation. Both often show
in ,eople otherwise well. and commonly
disappear with the exciting cause.
The patient should diet. avoid colds
and live carefully, and the ordinary case
of kidney trouble will with care and
treatment usually disappear the first
few weeks.
If it persists, or there should be con-
tinued evidence of disordered kidneys
it should demand the attention of the
patient in view of the position taken
by medical writer's that about the sixth
month the infiamed condition becomes
chronic and incurable.
# will be seen through all the above
that the real trouble is Inflammation in
the kidneys. While there are many
kidney stimulants they have been aban-
doned by physicians, for they now know
that none of them carry repair to in
famed kidneys.
The late John ]. Fulton was the first
man in the world to discover an emol-
lient that reaches the kidneys.
It reverses the old treatment. In
stead of irritating the infiamed kidneys
with stimulants the effect is the grad
ual reduction of the Inflammation, and

GIVES POWER TO

AMENDED STABLE ORDINANCE
READY FOR COUNCIL
City Attorney Changes Measure Which
Mayor Vetoed, So That Unneces-
sary Detail Work Is
Avoided

Following the veto of the stable or
dinance, the city council will probably
pass the amended ordinance at it's spe-
cial session today.
City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt has
returned draft of ordinance entitled
'An ordinance regulating feed stables
and livery stables" which was passed
January 20 and vetoed by the mayor on
February 8. Attached to the ordinance
is the written objection of the mayor
to the same.
In compliance and in accordance
with the mayors objections he has
prepared and presented draft of an
ordinance entitled AN ordance regu-
lating feed stables and livery stables,
and repeating certain provisions of Or
dinance No. 11017 new series,) APP
proved May 8, 19O5.''
This ordinance provides for the re-
peal of certain provisions of ordinance
No 11017 (new series) which requires
that a permit must be obtained from
the board of fire commissioners to
erect maintain or occupy a livery
stable or feed stable.
1.-THE ordinance here presented" saws
Mr.. Hewitt, satisfies. in my opinion,
the objections of the mayor to the eff
feet that without the repeating clause
added to this ordinance unnecessary de-
tail work would be entailed upon the
commission.
1.-THE council referred this matter to
the city attorney with instructions to
prepare an ordinance delegating the
power to issue permits to the fire COM
mission.
1.-THE matters involved in regulating
feed stables and livery stables are mat
tiers that should, In my opinion, come
before the police commission, and

JURY SECURED TO !.
TRY PERJURY CASE
JOSE M. Y6ARRA MUST STAND
TRIAL
Man Who Is Alleged to Have Sworn
Falsely During Divorce Hearing
Arraigned in Superior
Court

A jury was secured at noon yester-
day in Judge Conrey's department OF
the superior court to try the case
against Jose M Ybarra, indicted by
the grand jury on charge of perjury
in connection with the divorce case
of Beatrice Arnaz against James A.
Arnaz in August, 1906.
The indictment charges Ybarra
swore falsely when he testified that
Mrs. Arnaz, Leo Monreal and himself
drank whisky and beer and smoked
cigarettes in her home on Temple
street and that the woman sat on Mon
reals lap and kissed and Rugged him.
The afternoon was taken up with ar
guments by the defendants counsel
who contend the testimony of Ybarra
was immaterial and inadmissible In
the divorce trial, and therefore no
criminal action could be founded on 1t.
The court will decide this question
this morning.
Montreal was sentenced to serve ten
years in states prison on conviction
in a similar trial, and his case is now
on appeal. Before the grand jury look
up an investigation into Ybarra's con-
nection with the divorce trial he fled
to Alaska, but was arrested in san
Francisco in November.

PASTOR ADVISES ADOPTING NEW
METHODS
City Councilman Addresses Ministers,
Saying There Are $4,000 unem-

81 decidedly object to the stopping
of the machinery run by the laundry
girls, even to help other people. These
poor girls need the work, and they
should not be deprived of 1t, said
Rev. Robert Mcintyre at the Method
list ministers meeting yesterday in an
earnest retort to a proposition made
by one of the ministers that the laun-
dry machinery be stopped in order to
scatter the laundry work to be done
by the outside needy people.
After the reading of an interesting
paper by Rev. ]. A. Johnson, pastor
of the Hamilton Methodist church, on
THE Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.
Councilman Wallace presented himself
before the ministers in the interest OF
the deserving and needy unemployed
of Los Angeles. He said:
There are COCO skilled workmen VINO
are out of employment In Los Angeles
today. aside from other grades of la
borers, which will increase the whole
number to about $4,000. The city has
furnished work for $50 men, but even

don't want such men to be obliged TO
get free lunches in a saloon. We want
to supply them with work for which
they may receive pay.
Do Not Want Money
I'VE Cont want to give them money
unless they work for it, and they do
not want it in any other way than by
doing honest work. We ought to be
able to give our own needy people of
the city the work they require to carry
them over to better times. We do not
want the chamber of commerce and
other institutions to do it ALL
ut seems right at this time to bring
this labor problem more specifically
before this body of ministers, that 1t
may take immediate action for the re-
lief of the unemployed
Rev. Mr.. Mcintyre championed the
cause of the churches. He said:
1.-The truth is, there are two sides to
this question. The side out of the
churches has been freely discussed as
to it's needs and wants in these har1
times, which is all right, but many of
the working people have the idea that
the churches are not doing their part.
But I can say that there are many
church people, who are as good as any
other people, who are in need and the
churches are helping them, which is
their right and duty to do and which
should be taken into consideration
with regard to helping those within
the churches as well as those on the
outside"
After some discussion it was decided
that each pastor with one or more lay
men, as far as possible, should meet at
the study of DIR. Mcintyre to make ar
rangements for further action.

OFFERS PROTECTION
FOR MANY CHILDREN
HUMANE SOCIETY is GROWING
IN LOS ANGELES
Opposes Employment of Boys and
Girls Under Age in Theaters.
Homes Are Wanted
for Many

Outside of the theaters, Los Angeles
is obeying the laws regarding child Ia
Dor better than any other city in the
United States" said r. W. Reynolds of
the Los Angeles Humane society yes
terday.
Our stand as a society regarding
the employment of children to work
on the stage. with regard to the Belas-
co theater especially, has brought a
great deal of criticism upon the HUI
name society,"" he continued
But even though they declare that
two of the little girls in question were
getting 500 week for two hours work
a night, were in a moral play and were
getting easy money that does not
alter the fact that their schooling is
being neglected at the same time. This
is the essential thing for children of
their age. There were six children
under age being employed by them;
so far under age that there could be
no misunderstanding possible on the
part of the management. The children
were from 10 years up to 10 years old,
and the state law declares 1t unlawful
to permit any child under 16 to sing,
dance, play musical instrument or
perform acrobatic feats on the stage.
Since the child labor law, which
is quite distinct from the state law,
is being tested in the courts, we
brought our action under the state law.
Los Angeles Best of All
"Outside of the theaters, Los An
geles is obeying the law regarding
child labor better than any other city
in the United States. The little cash
girls of the department stores all are
working under special permits.
I'VE took our stand as a society re-
garding those little girls on the stage
because the state law, the child labor
law and the theater law are all re-
lated to the compulsory education law.
