Haf-Back is a modern college play,
with a modern college setting. 1t is full
of college spirit and enthusiasm, from
the time the two rival football managers
of Queenstown and Kingston colleges try
to secure Sandy Smith, for their res
pective colleges, and football teams,
until the time, Sandy wins the great
football match for Kingston. and-Mabel
Sumner. The plot is interesting and the
characters well chosen. Mrs. j. II.
Stewart has trained the cast. The play
has been given by nearly every college
dramatic club in the country, twice by the
University of Vermont club in the
Strong, twice by the Colby club, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Williams col
lege, etc. The college orchestra will fur
nish music for a dance after the play.
The play was given last March to full
hall and it is by request that it is being
presented this year. The proceeds will
go to the Debating Union and Athletic
Association.

MAYOR APPROVES BUT
MAKES NO SELECTION
INSPECTOR OF LICENSE TO BE
APPOINTED
Harper Wishes No Conflict Between
New Office and Chief of Police
and Asks for Amend
ment

The mayor has signed the ordinance
providing for the Inspector of licenses,
IL was published Tuesday morning, and
thereupon became a law, but the mayor
will not make an appointment to the
ONCE until the council amends the ordi-
nance.
He sent a message to the council at
It's adjourned session yesterday after
noon, asking that the ordinance be
amended by striking out section 4. This
section provides that the inspector of
licenses shall assist and supervise the
regular police officers in the discharge
Oh their duties as provided in the license
ordinance
This section, the mayor says, consti-
tutes conflict of authority. He de-
clares this section passes some of the
GutleS of the chief of police to the in
spector of licenses, and that it is bound
TO make trouble if left in the ordinance.
AS soon as the ordinance is fixed to
the mayors liking it is probable James
A. craig VIII be appointed to the posi-
tion of license inspector created by the
ordinance
Cralg'S name was mentioned when
the ordinance was first introduced and
10 one else has appeared on the horizon
as likely appointee.
1t is stated the mayor will insist that
the person who receives the appoint
ment must wear uniform This does
not appeal to Craig very strongly. He
is plain American citizen, modest in
his estimation Of his own appearance
and although his friends believe he
would look handsome in blue and gold
braid he does not agree with their idea.
Inc matter of changing the ordinance
was laid over by the council until Sat-
urday, when it will meet to take action
on some important aqueduct matters.

APPOINTMENT LIKELY
TO SEPARATE BODIES
Associated Charities Do Not Take
Kindly to Inspector Named by
Chairman of County Su-
perVisors

That the action of c. j. Nellis, chair
man of the boar dof supervisors, in ap-
pointing Hobart M. Crane, his brother
ln-laW, to be inspector of charities iii
Los Angeles. county may result in the
separation of the Associated Charities
from the organization maintained By
the county, was the belief expressed
yesterday by persons affiliated with
both charity organizations.
The directors of the Associated Char
tiles declare their intention to retain
as secretary Spencer K. SeWall, who
has been acting in that capacity for
sixteen months, in addition to perform
ing the duties of county inspector OF
charities.
The Supervisors, on the other hand,
as expressed by a member of the court
house committee, are as firm in their
determination to place Crane in office
as inspector, even If this should have
the effect of causing the two organiza-
tions to split and force the Associated
Charities to remove their headquarters
from the court house.
The directors say they are anxious tC
keep their work out of politics, and de-
mand SewalPs retention. The super
visors claim that SeWall was placed In
Office through political influence an
should take his medicine when po
litical fortunes change.
The strongest reason advanced 1Ol
Mr.. SewalPs retention is, however, his
familiarity with the county's charita-
BILE work and acknowledged success ir
carrying on this labor. By his removal
it is claimed, several important projects
would receive a setback, among them
the wood yard established about three
weeks ago and which has been a sue
cess so far.
Heretofore the offices of county in
spector of charities and secretary of the
Associated Charities have been filled by
one man, the salary and expenses being
divided and quarters maintained on the
lower floor of the court house.

MUNICIPAL AFEAIRS|RIg!1;|;1!||3: =:
ROAD TO SAN PEDRO
MAY BE CONSTRUCTED
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS Or
DERS SURVEYS
Western and Pacific Avenues Will
Be Connected by Thoroughfare
at Least Twenty Feet
in Width

It is almost assured the road between
Weston road and Pacific avenue in Sar
Pedro, will be constructed, in. COM
pliance with the wishes of the Sar
Pedro chamber of comerce.
The board Of public works yesterday
authorized the city engineer to make
surveys and secure rights Of way fol
the road, and when this is done q
passable road, twenty feet in width
will be constructed for immediate use
even if nothing better can be afforded
at this time. This road will be used
as the basis for extensive improvement
in the future, but in the meantime il
will form direct connecting link with
San Pedro which now cannot be had.
The only way San Pedro can be
reached through Los Angeles by road
is by way of Wilmington. This makes
necessary a detour around the bay
which greatly extends the road.
The only place where rights of way
will have to be secured is about three
miles between Pacific avenue in San
Pedro and Weston road in the shoe
string strip. This line will parallel the
right of way of the Los Angeles In
terurban until it reaches Los Angeles
territory. The road will be carried on
as straight up Main street into Los
Angeles as possible.
The city engineer reported to the
board of public works yesterday that
this right of way could be secured at
a reasonable price and that the cost of
construction of such q road as is
wanted for immediate use would not be
excessive.
The Municipal Waterways association
told the council Tuesday that action
by the city toward the construction of
this road would be an evidence of good
faith the citizens of San Pedro would
be glad to see, and that it would have
a marked effect in the proceedings foT
anneXing San Pedro to Los Angeles.

FINE TABBIES
PUT ON SHOW
PANORAMA RINK EXHIBITION
WILL RANK HIGH
NOTED ENGLISH FANcIER TO ACT
AS JUDGE
Former President of Minnesota AS
ISOLATION Will Place on View
Her Celebrated Cat, Bon
ME Eddie

Entries for the cat show to be held
at the Panorama rink are coming in
rapidly. Many fine animals were
brought in yesterday afternoon, ano
judging by the samples thus far ON ex-
hibition, the show promises to be high
class.
Mrs. f. H. Williams of 1872 Ocean
avenue, Long Beach, announced yes
terday that her pet cat Bonnie Eddie
would be on exhibition one day. He
Will not be a contestant for any prize
but will be merely placed in the show
to satisfy the many visitors and fan
ciers who have long wanted to see this
cat that has almost national reputa-
ton.
Mrs. Williams, who was formerly
president of the Minnesota association
is a new arrival from Minneapolis, and
brings with her sixteen fine Angoras
The change from the cold climate to
the warmer one of California has
caused the cats to shed their glossy
coats, and it is for that reason they
will not be entered as contestants for
prizes. Mrs. Williams says she has re-
fused a cash offer of $1100 for her fam
GUS Eddie, which is considered one of
the most valuable cats in the United
States. Mrs. Williams also has two
Angora house pets on which she re-
fuses to put any price.
The show will open today with fully
fifty cats on exhibition. The manage
ment is fortunate in having secured as
judge Mrs. G. D. Hindley, who is prob
ably better fitted for that position than
any other person on this coast.
Mrs. Hindley became a cat fancier in
England years ago, and her blacks and
oranges carried away many honors at
the Crystal Palace shows. A change of
climate became necessary and Mrs.
Hindley and her husband disposed of
their fine collection and moved to San
ia Barbara, where they now reside.
They recently promoted a cat show in
Santa Barbara which was an unquali-
fed success.
