w. 5. Gilbert, at 90, it is announced,
is at work Oh a new comic opera, which
will shortly be produced at the Savoy
theater in London. The hopes OF a
generation which first witnessed the pro
duction of the series of pieces by Gilbert
and Sullivan and have since incurred
that golden age of the stage will be
raised by the news. 1t was in 1879 that
w. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan be
gan to work together. In the next ten
years We're produced: "Pinafore,' The
Pirates of Penzance," Patience"
"lolanthe,' and The Mikado." Their
comic operas were clean. wholesome,
clever and really comic in more than
name. They were grateful to the eye
and ear and mind of persons of all
ages. Sullivan's tunes were sung and
whistled everywhere and Gilbert's
songs and dialogues became household
words and were rewritten and parodied
most widely.

Municipal Affairs
SAYS COURTS MUST
ORDER SCENT FARE
COMPANY REFUSES TO GRANT
CHEAP RATE
Huntington Interests Willing to Con-
cede City Charges, but Do Not
Wish Clause Put In
Franchise

Taking the position that granting D.
cent street car fares to the residents
of annexed territory as far south as
Manchester avenue would be ac-
knowledging the city's right to force
such fares, W. E. Dunn, attorney for
the Huntington interests, told the city
council yesterday the matter would
have to be threshed out in lawsuit
before such fares would be granted.
He intimated IL the city would re-
cede from the position that 1t had the
right to compel the railway to grant
scent fares the people in the annexed
territory who are clamoring for this
concession would be granted what they
asked. He declared further that If
the Los Angeles Redondo Railway
company was compelled to secure a
franchise from the city for running its
cars down Main street, Grand avenue,
Broadway and Second that these cars
would be stopped at Jefferson street.
which Is the terminus of the right of
way granted by the old franchise, and
that passengers from Redondo and
other stations on the line would be
transferred to the Los Angeles rail-
way cars.
He said his company could not afford
to accept a franchise If the scent fare
was included, as he believed 1t cer-
tainly would be.
Mr.. Dunn holds If the city has a
right to compel the railways to grant
scent fares in all territory subse-
~rently annexed then it has the right
to coE1pel scent fares to Wilmington
or San Pedro, when these places are
consolidated with Los Angeles, and he
declares such a confiscatory fare would
drive the company out of business.
"This scent fare principle means
life or death to the railways in this
CITY" said Mr.. Dunn. IF we must
carry passengers from Los Angeles to
San Pedro for cents then we VIII
have to tear up our interurban tracks,
for we cannot run them at such a loss
as would ensue from such cheap
fares"
Councilman Wallace and others
pointed out to Mr.. Dunn that no one
III Los Angeles would expect to be car
ried to San Pedro for cents. that such
a demand would be unjust and that
the council would not support 1t. Mr.
Dunn replied if the city had the power
to force the cheap fares and did not
do it because it would be unjust the
company would exist only by suffer-
ance and that it could not AFFORD to
accept such position.
"Our legal rights must be deter
mined, once and for ALL" said Mr..
Dunn.
At the afternoon session of the coun-
ell City Attorney Hewitt asked au-
thority to bring an injunction against
the Los Angeles-Redondo railway for
bidding it's entrance into the city north
of Jefferson street. This is to be the
first step to compel this company to
secure franchise which will have the
scent clause.
The matter was laid over week.
and in the meantime the city attorney
and Councilmen wallace, Dromgold
and Blanchard will call on Mr.. Dunn

PRESBYTERIAN FAITH is
DISPUTED BY STUDENTS
Three Applicants for Licenses to
Preach Are Rejected Because
otEModernism

NEW YORK, April 13.-Three young
candidates for licenses to preach, all
members OF the senior class Of the
Union Theological seminary, have been
rejected by the presbytery Of New
York.
Their applications were considered at
the annual meeting of the presbytery
yesterday, but they were rejected be-
cause of their answers to some of the
fundamental questions asked in the ex-
animation.
Though the examination was in
secret, it is said one Of the older APP
plicants is said to have questioned the
miracles and to have accepted the
modern view OF the divinity of Christ.
In other words, he did not believe
Christ arose from the dead in body.
The other candidates saw fit to ex-
press doubt concerning the divinity OF
Christ as advanced by the old school
of Presbyterianism.
The rejected candidates are Archibald
Black, a brother of the Rev. DIR. Hugh
Black of Edinburgh. George e. Fitch
and John Steen.
It is said, however, that they will
have a further opportunity of explain
ing their beliefs. There was only one
other application considered which was
accepted. 1t was that of Luigi Moxe-
gano, an Italian graduate of the
Bloomfield, N. j., seminary.

the state railway commission next
Monday, and the board at its meeting
today issued an invitation to repre-
sentatives of the principal railroads IN
the state to be present and join In a
conference on the subject at that time.
Considerable debate was engaged IN
by the commissioners over the extent
of the boards jurisdiction with refer
ence to steamers plying between Los
Angeles and Catalina. Commissioner
Summerland stoutly maintained that
as the island was part of Los An
geles county the powers of the board
could be exercised over carriers to 1t.
The majority of the board differed
from him, holding that when vessel
passed out of the three mile limit 1t
was beyond the commissions juris-
diction.
The complaint against the railroads
made by the Danaher- Campbell Mill
and Lumber company Of Los Angeles
was called up and the secretary was
instructed to ask the complainant to
file a properly sworn statement of its
case, upon receipt of which a date for
hearing would be set.
