Only relatives were present at the

The families of both Mr.. and Mrs.

BEST DRAMATIST
LECTURER SAYS NORWEGIAN
GREATEST PLAYWRIGHT
CLAIMS HIS WORKS REFLECT

Mrs. Potter Asserts Average Ameri-
cans Views of Mysticism Are
at Once ChiIdike and
Practical

That the average American view of
mysticism is at once childlike ana
practical is the opinion of Mrs. Frances
Squire Potter, who lectured last even
ing at the Unitarian church on The
Stage Today"
Mrs. Potter in an interview yester-
day afternoon at the Hotel Alexan-
dria spoke of the remarkable clearness
with which the average American play
represents the every day life of the
American people. She said: This is
an age of mysticism reflected by the
stage. August Thomas 'Witching
Hour which has had such run in
New York city, represents the average
American view of mysticism which is
at once both childlike and practical.
The Servant in the House is the
British view of the same subject, which
in many ways corresponds to that OF
the American people Maeterlinck, the
Belgian, is the greatest living eXpon-
ent of all that mysticism implies"
Mrs. Potter went on further to speak
of the tremendous strides taken by
the drama during the past fifty years
Modern drama" she said, was
shocked into existence by that great
Norwegian giant, Ibsen." One flash of
Ibsen destroyed the chaff thrown to
the public in the 70s and sos. In my
estimation, Ibsen is the greatest of all
playwrights in rejecting the machin-
cry of modern society"
Mrs. Potter is best known by her
novel, 1.-The Ballingtons," although for
several years she has lectured through
the country and has been prominently
identified with various women's clubs.
She has written two plays, one of
which will probably be staged at the
Seattle exposition and is entitled
Jameson" Mrs. Potter has delivered
recently a series of lectures at Del
Monte before the California Federation
of Womens clubs and has addressed
recently the Friday Morning club of
Los Angeles.
She will leave for a tour of the east
ern cities, returning later to deliver
course of lectures at the Seattle ex
position.

COUNTY SUPERVISORS
PURCHASE ROCK LAND
MATERIAL FOR GOOD ROADS
TO COME FROM PAC0IMA
Opponents crlticlse Proposed Acquire
ment, Saying Quarry Was Reject
ed by Southern Pacific and
San Pedro Engineers

The board of supervisors unanimous
" passed a resolution yesterday Tor
the purchase of 191 acres of land lying
near Pacoima, from which will be
taken the greater portion of the supply
of rock and gravel to be used IN the
construction of the good roads under
the SO, 500, 900 bond issue. The purchase
money, $23,S91.95, was authorized TO De
paid to Lee c. Gates, who sometime
ago secured an option on the quarry.
Some criticism has arisen over the
purchase, it being stated that the
quarry was once rejected by the South
ern Pacific company, after tests We're
made showing that the rock was not
I'D to the standard of quality required
and that the material cannot be pro-
duced except at excessive cost. Inc
stone also was rejected, 1t is claimed,
by engineers in charge of the break
water construction work at San PEDRO.
Furthermore, it Is contended the South
ern Pacific will be benefited greatly by
the purchase as almost all the hauling
will be done by that company and at
an excess expenditure of about $5OOOO,
C. d. Daggett, chairman of the high
way commission, stated, however, that
the rock was perfectly satisfactory for
road purposes, preliminary tests show
ing it is of excellent quality. The OPP
position to the purchase. he ADDED,
arose from selfish motives.
Specifications are being prepared
calling for bids for the installation of
a rock crushing plant at Pacoima.
Seven bids, ranging from $17 400 to
$31. 900 were received by the supervisors
for grading the five miles of boulevard,
from Gardena to Wilmington. All eX-
cept the three lowest bids were re-
iected Those retained were taken
under advisement and probably will be
acted on Thursday.

Because of Trouble Between TWO De-

Friction has arisen between officials
at the county Jail and those in charge
OF the county hospital, because of the
reluctance on the part of the latter to
receive prisoners at the hospital for
treatment while awaiting trial. The
matter was brought to an issue sew
eral days ago when A. j. Matezuski,
q. prisoner at the Jail who has been
sentenced to the penitehtiary alter
conviction on a charge of grand lar
ceny and whose case has been APP
pealed, was refused admittance TO the
hospital.
Matezush is said to be afflicted with
contagious disease, necessitating
medical treatment which cannot be
furnished at the JAIL and it was only
after strong insistence that he was
permitted to enter the hospital. The
prisoner belongs to one OF the most
distinguished families in st. Peters
| burg, his brother being court physl-
clan to the car.
A day or two later objection again
was raised when an effort was made
to send to the hospital another pris-
oner awaiting preliminary examination
