The Theaters

The daily crop of rumors regarding
the operations of the Shuberts in Los
Angeles has crystallized in the definite
announcement that they will build a
theater. They have abandoned the
hope of securing the Majestic from
oliver Morosco, and yesterday J. j.
Shubert, who still is in Los Angeles,
began an attempt to secure site at
Main and Winston streets.
Mr.. shubert promises that the new
theater will be one of the finest in the
west and that only high class produc-
tions with the full New York COM
panies will be given. He denies that
there is any possibility of a compro-
mise between the Shuberts and Klaw
& Erlanger, and declares that the fight
to finish has. begun:
George L. Baker, manager of the
Baker and Bungalow theaters of Port
land, Ore, is in Los Angeles on bust
ness. Mr.. Baker says Portland is
booming and that the theater business
is hourishing proportionately.
Miss Lillian Russell will celebrate
the 500th performance of "Wildfire"
tonight. The author, George Broad
hurst, has been prevailed upon to re-
main over for this occasion. The man.
agement of the Mason opera house is
trying to prevail upon Miss Russell.
in view Of the 500th performance, to
add a few of her popular song hits on
Saturday night, 1t is TO be hoped that
she win consent, as it would indeed

WHILE SUIT PEMDS
Banker and Mining Man, Sued for
Divorce Tells Court He Contracted
for $4,000 Worth Of
Furniture

Five thousand dollars for her sup
port, pending the hearing of her di-
vorce suit filed Tuesday last against
AID. Myers, the wealthy banker and
mining man, will be- given Mrs. Mat
tie NJ. Myers within the next three
days.
Myers was in Judge James depart
inent of the superior court yesterday
in response to an order to show cause
why he should not give his wife suf-
ficient money to maintain her comfort
ably while the divorce suit is pending.
Mrs. Myers also was present, but was
not called upon to explain the neces-
sity for this maintenance, the proceed
ines being cut short by Myers attor-
ney, former Judge Trask, who stated
$4,000 could be borrowed. with Mrs.
Myers interest in the palatial nome at
Long Beach as security, proVlueu no no
objection was raised to this course Dy
her. This was agreed to by ]. ID. Fred
ericks, Mrs. Myers attorney.
BEFORE reaching this agreement,
however Myers was closely examined
regarding the Long Beach residence.
The original contract price Tor the
house, he said, was $4,000, but when
completed he expected the cost WOULD
reach $160, 1000. Contracts for $4,000
worth of furniture have been signed,
on which $4,000 is still due. Myers
also stated he was the owner of all
the stock of the Nevada Ice, Cold
Storage and Commission company.
II do not see the necessity for going
into Details" interposed Judge Trask
at this point. "Under the law Mrs.
Myers is entitled to only enough to
support her pending the divorce hear
ing. If she will agree to mortgage
her part of the community property /
will see that she receives $4,000 within
the next three days.
The proposition was agreed to by
Mr.. Fredericks and the matter was
continued one week.

Officers Humphrey and Roberts.
According to Mrs. Let's the pup
was stolen from her Hollywood resi-
dence about a month ago, entrance nav
ing been gained to the house by Lhe
use OF q pass key to a rear door. Ine
pup was taken while the tenants were
Temporarily absent from the house.
when the officers were searching
Redmond's room yesterday for further
evidence against the gang the dog
was found in the care Of the woman
who has been taking care OF the rooms
and answered the description of the
one reported by Mrs. Let's to the po-
lice as missing.
The pup was brought to police head
quarters and identified by Mrs. Let's
Is her dog.
According to the police the gang Of
seven viii attempt no defense, as the
evidence against the men IS over
whelming, and the police reported fhat
they had confessed yesterday to the
many charges against them.
Operations Are Exte&ive
In rounding up the gang and secur-
sng confession the police believe they
have made great capture, as such ex-
xensive operations as the potato sellers
have been conducting for several
months have not been brought to the
attention of the department in ten
years,
The gang admits that it was respon-
eibie for seven robberies that have been
reported recently. The police have re-
covered nearly all the stolen property
and expect to get all of it, as the burg
lars had not made any effort to dis
pose of their Ill gotten goods.
The method they employed was to
visit the houses of their intended vic
tins during the daytime under pre-
tense of selling vegetables, and then
planning the robbery, or If the chances
were good the robbery would be car
ried out at the time of the first call.
IT is expected that complaints will
be sworn out against the seven men in
Police Justice Chambers court today.
The men under arrest are J. A. Red
mond, 1923 East Fifth street; A. Delhi

Municipal Affairs
DE La MONTE MAY BE
NAMED POLICE CHIEF
MAYOR ALEXANDER SENDS FOR
POPULAR CONSTABLE
Is Known to Be on the List Of
EIIsIbIes, One OF Which VIII
Be Given Broadhead's
Job

Constable ]. H. De la Monte. who Is
considered one of the foremost In the
running for chief Of police. was Wis
itor at the mayors Office yesterday af-
ternoon and had a long conference
with the mayor. While many other APP
plicants for the position have called on
Mayor Alexander to present their
claims, De la Montes case is peculiar
in that he did not go OF his own accord
but was sent for by the mayor. The
mayor admitted last night that De la
Monte was prominently in his thoughts
in connection with the position. Addi-
tional significance is given to this visit
of De la Monte, as Mayor Alexander
and the new police commission held a
long session Thursday night in the
mayors office, and the subject Of a
chief of police was discussed.
while there is no doubt that some
one will take the star and title from
Chief Broadhead, yet as far as Mayor
Alexander is concerned Broadhead may
remain in the department as captain
If he chooses. Broadhead is a civil SER
vice captain. When he was appoiated
chief of ipoiice last January by Mayor
Harpers police commission he was
given q years leave Of absence from
his position as Captain. 1t is optional
with him whether he exercises the right
to the full year or takes up his duties
as captain as soon as q new chief is
appointed.
Mayor Alexander said last night that
he believed Lieut.. Dixon had right to-
a captaincy. Dixon Is the head OF the
civil service eligible list for police cap
tain, and there are two such vacancies
in the department now. The death of
Capt. Auble made one vacancy and the
promotion of Broadhead to chief made
the second. If Broadhead takes up his
old job there still will be D. vacancy.
The only captain in the entire police
department now is Capt. Bradish, who
is located at the University substation.
DR.. John r. Haynes was also Wis
itor at the mayors office yesterday,
and it is confidently predicted that he
will be one of the appointees to the
board OF health, of which there are two
to name. Neither DIR. Haynes nor the
mayor would deny that such an action
was contemplated.
