CIGAR DEALER SUMMONED
AS JUROR DENIES BIAS

At the afternoon session of the Arne-
rich case, in which a waiter at the
Good Fellows Grotto is accused oil
serving liquor without meals, the task
of securing a jury was begun.
One of the talesmen who answered
the summons of the court was A
Greenewald, a politician, cigar dealer
and man about town. In spite of the
fact that Greenewald was one of those
arrested at the time of the raiding OF
the notorious Manhattan hotel who
threatened to get square" with the
police department, the talesman denied
bias.
would the fact that the evidence in
this case was secured by members OF
the police force prejudice your judg-
ment?" one of the attorneys for the
city asked Greenewald.
The cigar dealer contemplated a
blotch on the ceiling of the court room
"No," he answered, decidedly; iii

67 MILLION PIECES
OF MAIL SENT OUT
Report of Postmaster Flint Shows
Marked Increase in Business of
Los Angeles Mail Depot
In Year

A report just issued by Postmaster
Motley H. Flint shows that for the year
ending June 80 nearly five million more
letters were sent out of the Los An
geles postoffice than were sent during
last year.
From this fact it may be deduced that
Los Angeles is increasing in prosperity
population and in it's number of WELD
ers of that weapon which is said to be
mightier than the sword.
A great number from this gigantic
total undoubtedly contained money for
persons in the other less fortunately
prosperous parts of the country, and
it may be taken for granted that most
of the epistles heralded the beauties
financial, climatic and moral-of the
great metropolis of sunshine.
At this rate of increase 1T will neces-
sarily follow that soon no one outside
of a lunatic asylum will be found who
has not heard of the advantages of life
in this community and a corresponding
influx of new residents is to be eX-
pected.

Anna Chance.

One of the enjoyable features of the of "The Awakening of Mir. Pipp," which Charley Grapewin will give us at Elks next Thursday, is the performance Of Mrs. Pipp by Anna Chance, a most delightful act ress. Her conception of the part is thoroughly brought out and shows that she has given it careful study. It is a character bristling with oppor- tunity for an actress to cause herself to forget she is an injured wife and not q virago, but never once does Miss Chance deviate from the authors con- ception. She is full of those little touches of feminity that go so far to make her performance enjoyable, and it is to her that Mir. GrapeWin can look as the source Of so much of the popularity of his play during the past three or four years. Miss Chance Is an artist and she is justly entitled to share any honors that may be showered upon the star for the sat isfying results of performance of
 his play.

"A Knight For q Day."

The patronage given "A Knight For in Chicago and its long run at Wal lacks, New York, is indicative that no matter what the conditions of the money market, the popular taste for musical comedy will be satisfied. In othar words, hit is a hit There have not been many of them this sea- son, but the lack in numbers is made up in enthusiasm, and this new musi- cal novelty has certainly received its generous share of prosperity. It is chief among the several big successes and has been a record-breaker, fill ing the two theaters in the two larg- est cities In the land continuously throughout it's engagement and more over they have sold out the capacities weeks and even months In advance. New York and Chicago are only cri- terion in proportion to their superior size and population, and 1t is certain this newest musical furore will enjoy the same substantial patronage in all the other cities in the proper ratio.
 What the people like, and what is the best given them, Is not always ! identical or analogous; but as our amusements are enterprises for profit rather than education, the effort is, naturally, to give them what they will appreciate in a substantial manner all, of course, within the polite laws of reason and adaptability. It IS the wise managerial producer who gives value received in his program thai will ever win with the amusement public for attractions of q more or less stereotyped or imitational char acter are now the ones to suffer iron theatergoers' ennui.

MANY NARROW ESCAPES
One Life Was Lost and Several In
iured In Dallas Fire-Loss Esti-
mated at Fifty Thousand.

Dallas, Texas, June Cone life
was lost in the fire that Quilted the
three-story Knight building, on Elm
and Harwood streets, early this morn,
ing. Several persons were seriously
injured by leaping from the second
and third stories of the rooming
house. At least three of these are
believed to have sustained fatal in
juries. The loss on building and con
tents, not including the personal eff
fects of the roomers, will amount, it
is estimated, to $4,000.
The fire, discovered shortly prior
to o'clock in the morning, broke out
when that section of the city was
still, and the flames had great head
way before they were discovered.
AS result the escapes we're narrow.
There were many distressing Incl
dents connected with the fire, and
many touching scenes and deeds
highly heroic were several in number.
Fire and smoke awakened Geo. F.
Weiland, whose cottage home is i'm
mediately north of the Knight build
ing. In his sleeping apparel he rush
ed from the house and to the fire
station, nearly two blocks away,
shouting as he ran. Assistant Fire
Chief Tom Myers was first to hear
him Within half a minute he was
in the automobile speeding to the
place. The alarm was turned in that
brought four fire engines and the
hose and ladder companies. Fireman
Frank Bachman of the auto squad
was sent through the corridors of the
building. He visited every floor and
aroused the roomers. He had barely
time to escape to the street
Every person in the building was
awakened and many of the fifty or
sixty known to have been in the place
escaped by the stairway. Others es-
capped from the second story by way
of the one-story house in the rear.
But the flames went so quickly
