RAILROADERS TO
DANCE AND SING
Performance at Mason Opera House
Monday Night Promises to Be
Unique in Character and
Quality

When the conductor calls "Al
aboard" for the big minstrel show at the
Mason opera house next Monday night
March l, an entirely new idea in min
strel work will be presented for the
criticism Of friends Of the Salt Lake
railroad employees. With a chorus OF
forty voices, besides the principals, high
class singing may be expected. The
oId-t1me minstrel gags have been rele-
gated to the rear and only entirely new
jokes will be the order of the evening.
Those who are to participate have
been rehearsing steadily for -four
months and promise a smooth running
and amusing show. The proceeds will
be used to fit up a gymnasium which
will eventually be for the use of all the
railroad employees in Los Angeles.
Dug White, as interlocutor, promises
his many friends to keep things on. the
move. The railroad men will endeavoI
to present to the public some idea OF
how they think a train ought to be run,
and will reproduce some of the many
amusing incidents which occur daily.
One of the acts will be an imitation
railroad coach scene. Ralph Wray, the
well known minstrel director, has had
the rehearsals in charge.
In addition to the first part, which
will be the minstrel show proper, there
will be six short, snappy vaudeville
acts, all by amateurs.
Seats are now on sale at the Salt
Lake railroad ticket Office, 601 South
Spring street, but Monday, the date OF
the performance, tickets may be pur-
chased at the Mason opera house box
office.

CITY TREASURY
TO BEAR COST
WILL TAKE CARE OF SMALL
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Vrooman Act Applied to Minor Work
Swamps Property Owners with
Expenses Out of All
Reason

There will be no longer any necessity
for the people of Los Angeles to pay
five times the reasonable cost for small
street improvements. In fact they will
not have to pay at all, except through
the general tax fund, for the city will
order the work done and pay for it out
Of the treasury.
This is according to a resolution
passed by the city council which car
ries with it instructions to the board OF
public works to submit small jobs Il
the council for action.
The decision reached was brought
about by the enormous cost of the
paving of the intersection of Clay and
Second streets, little job containing
only 1913 square feet, which cost the
property owners in the assessment dis
trict $198, or 81 a square foot. Clay
street is little more than an alley, and
the improvement consists of a brick
pavement, and not particularly good
bricks at that. A we'll known con
tractor, who looked the work over at
the suggestion of City Auditor Mushet
declared he would be content to do the
work for $50, and would make a good
profit at that.
The work was done under the Vroo-
man act, and that is what made it cost
so much. The proceedings for a small
job are the same as those for a large
one, and before a brick had been laid
the engineers fees and advertising had
amounted to $50, making the prelim-
mary steps alone cost more than the
Improvement was worth.
Hereafter this first cost will be cut
out. The city will order the work done
and pay for it out of the general funds,
even though the improvement is purely
local in its nature.

BROKER JONES
STILL MISSING
COURT IMMEDIATELY ISSUES
BENCH WARRANT
Additional Men from District Attor-
ney's Office Will Be Employed to
Search for Real Estate
Dealer

L. E. Jones, the real estate man
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses, who disappeared after
second criminal complaint was issued
against him, did not respond when his
name was called in Justice Summer
fields court yesterday, and cash bail
amounting to $500, deposited for his
appearance more than two weeks ago,
was declared forfeited to the state. A
hench warrant was issued Immediately
by Justice Summerffeld, and efforts to
discover Jones whereabouts will be re-
doubled. Besides the constables and
deputies from two justice courts addi-
tional men from the district attorneys 5
office will be sent out and every clew
followed.
Il have not the slightest idea where
Jones is at present. said his attorney,
Jud Rush, yesterday. Il believe he is
making an effort to get money to
straighten out matters, and L have no
doubt he will be successful"
The little justice court was crowded
yesterday at 10 o'clock, the hour at
which the Jones arraignment was fixed
Many of those present had suffered at
Jones hands, having purchased ficti-
tious mortgages or mortgages on prop
erty already encumbered.
Immediately after it's issuance the
bench warrant was placed in the hands
of an officer who, it is undersood, left
Los Angeles last night to investigate
q rumor that Jones had been seen in a
nearby town.

RYAN IS
GIVEN LIBERTY
Declares Her Intention Of Returning
and Instituting Legal Proceedings
Against Agent Who, She
Claims, Wronged Her

Enze Ryan, the pretty 1S-year-old
girl from Long Beach, who was ar
rested Friday night on charge of at
tempting to kill James Alexander, an
. insurance agent, with offices in the
Fay building, was released by JUS
tice Summerfield yesterday after her
attorney, Fred w. Morrison, had
given his promise that the young
woman would leave the city. Miss
Ryan did not appear in the court room
during the proceedings. She sat in the
Justices chambers, mirthful or weep
ing, according to her varying moods
and the way in which her youthful
mind viewed the situation.
When Alexander swore to the COM
plaint against Miss Ryan he stated
that she had endeavored to compel
him to fulfill his promise of marriage
with the persuasive aid of a small re-
vilver. This statement was laughed at
by the young woman.
81 simply went to his office to say
good by, as I was going away" she
said. "AS a token of my affection |
carried a bunch of violets. Perhaps he
thought they were loaded. I never
owned or carried a revolver in my
life"
Miss Ryans home is in Tennessee.
She came to California six months ago,
accompanied by a chaperon, but has
been alone in the beach town the past
three or four weeks. Alexander, she
said, wronged her, and when she
sought restitution and the fulfiIlment
of his promise to marry her, refused.
Miss Ryan, according to her attor-
ney, will not return to her Tennessee
home for the present. She declares her
intention of returning to Los Angeles
and instituting legal proceedings
against the insurance agent.

Mrs. Mary Hobbs, 19 Years Old, Meets

gasoline stove at the home of Oliver
Hobbs, "a years old, at 443S San Pedro
street, d, short time after o'closk yes
terday morning Mrs. Mary Hobbs, Is
years old, was splattered with burning
oil and was burned so seriously that
death ensued, and Hobbs was painfully
burned, on the face, arms and hands
when he hurried to the rescue Of his

Mrs. Hobbs was preparing breakfast
on a gasoline stove, when the supply OF
OIL in the tank became exhausted. She
ref1lled the tank from large can and
spilled a quantity of the liquid on top
Of the stove, but failed to notice it.
When she lighted the burners the oil
fared up, and instantly there was an
explosion. The woman was leaning
over the stove and in a shower the
burning oil fell on her.
She uttered an agonizing scream and
rushed from the kitchen into the cham
Der, where her husband and their IL
months-old child were in bed.
Hobbs sprang out Of bed, and seizing
a blanket wrapped it around his wife,
whose clothing was burning furiously.
After he had placed the blanket around
her Hobbs lifted her in his arms and
fastening into the yard rolled her on
the grass and smothered the flames.
Ne1ghborS nearing the woman
screams ran to the assistance Of Hobbs,
whose clothing had become ignited. and
after beating out the flames in Mr..
Hobbs clothing they assisted him in
conducting the suffering woman to the
home Of r. Throbeck, 4440 San Pedro
street, where emergency remedies were
applied.

Col. Robert Northam, man about
twon, bon viviant and good fellow has
been robbed of what man holds most
dear-money-and what he holds most
necessary-his trousers.
That their esteemed fellow citizen had
been made the victim Of unscrupuloUS
thieves was a shock to men along the
Rialto yesterday, and one and all they
began to condone with the colonel.
According to the story, Col. Northam,
being detained in the city too late to
reach his suburban residence, took
quarters at a big downtown hotel. Re-
firing, the colonel was soon fast asleep.
But not so the thieves. Entering the
room stealthily, they seized the colonel s
trousers, bore the garment away in tri-
umph, with a watch and several dollars.
Colonel Northam awoke in the morn
ing and arising hastily began to dress.
To his horror he discovered that his
trousers were missing. He called
boots" 'FbelIhop" and other attaches
Of the hotel, but none had seen the
trousers. In despair the colonel looked
about for a barrel, but could find moth
ing, and being too large to encase his
form in pillow cover he was in de-
spair. Tailors and clothiers were called
and a pair of trousers were sent to the
room. But more woe! They were too
small.
At last as Colonel Northam began to
fear he must stay in bed all day, be-
tween clerks, bell boys and anxious
friends the colonel was equipped with
the necessary garments, and no longer
fearing Anthony Comstock or any one
else, he sailed forth into the bright
light Of day.
Hotel and police detectives had not
been able to recover the trousers ac-
cording to latest reports last night.
