FLORENCE OBERLE TO
BE IN SOCIETY PILOT
TWO PLAYERS ARE SPECIALLY Y
ENGAGED FOR BURBANK
"kniqht for a Day" Chorus Girls Start
Short.LiVed Strike and Local
Actresses Are En-
gagged

Mrs. Florence Oberle, widow of Tom
Oberle, one of the best known and best
loved actors who ever played in Los
Angeles stock company, has been en-
gagged by Manager Oliver Morosco to
play Mrs. Eileen Wilmot, the part she
created, in next weeks revival of "A
Society Pilot" at the Burbank theater.
Another special engagement for the
same production is that of the well
known singer, George H. Carr, who will
sing "Drowsyland," the Moroseo-Mont-
rose ballad first heard in public at the
premier performance of this play. The
play will be mounted with every pic
turesque feature of the original pre-
sentation.
]. S. Landon, for two years sporting
editor of the New York Sun, but who
is now in the theatrical business, is in
town ahead of Emmett Dewey. who is
starring this season in I'm Dreamland'
and who comes to the Majestic theater
week after next. I'm Dreamland" is
an expansion of a vaudeville sketch
written by Dewey and played by him
at the local Orpheum a few years ago.
Both as a playlet and as a three-aet
comedy the piece has been remarkably
successful. In plot it bears a strong
resemblance to "A Message From
Mars" though in the Dewey comedy
the messenger, instead of being Mar
tian, Is a daughter of Venus, who flies
through locked doors and who compels
ordinary mortals to do her bidding
merely by wave of her wand.
Chorus girls employed in the "a
Knight for a Day. company initiated
a strike yesterday, all of them agree
ing to walk out unless certain demands
made upon the management were
granted. Apparently, however, the
strike was short-lived and unsuccess-
full, as only six of the girls really made
good their threat. News of the diff
Guilty was received here in a telegram
from Bert WILDER, manager of the
company, to Walter NJ. Koll, business
manager, who is now in Los Angeles
preparing for his organizations ar
rival at the Majestic next Sunday
evening. Kohl at once started on a
hunt for girls. By dinner time last
night he had engaged three and he
expects to complete the seXtet before
noon today. Piano scores of the chorus
numbers should reach here this morn
ing, and as soon as they arrive the
new recruits will begin rehearsing for
their opening with the company Sun

LIFE SENTENCE ASSUMED
BY LAD TO SAVE MOTHER

SIDNEY, Neb., Oct. Anton Krup
nicke was a wealthy farmer living d
few miles from Sidney. On the night
of June 29 he arose from his bed, got
a drink of water and sat down at the
kitchen table. While sitting there,
bullet from a rifle was fired into his
right temple, producing almost instant
death.
Mrs. Krupnicke telephoned the sher-
iff here that robbers had entered tho
house, stolen $500 and then killed her
husband. The money and the rifle werr
found wrapped in Mrs. Krupnicke's
apron and buried near the stable. She
was arrested and charged with murder.
Yesterday in court, Andrew, her IA
year-old son, testified that it was he
and not his mother who shot his father.
After the boy had been sentenced
to Imprisonment for life, the case
against the mother was dismissed.
Then the boy told the sheriff that ne
was not guilty, Notwithstanding his
confession.

listed prior to consolidation, I beg tc
say:
This question, as I understand it
has particular reference to the office oi
councilman, but really concerns all Off
ces of the city, so far as the eligibil-
ity of persons residing in the territory
mentioned is concerned.
Section 20S of the charter reads as
follows;
Section 203. No person shall be
eligible to any municipal office under
this charter who, at the time of his
election, or appointment, is not a quail
fed elector of the city; and to be eligi-
BILE to the office of member Of the coun-
Gil the person elected must have been
a resident of the city for at least two
years next preceding his election
1.-The consolidation of the cities OF
San Pedro and Wilmington was ef-
fected Saturday, August %, 1903, on
which date the certificates of the re-
suits of the two consolidation elections
were filed. By the terms of the act
under which these proceedings were
taken, the resulting union is more than
q mere extension of the governmental
or political jurisdiction of the larger
city over the smaller. The statute ex
pressly provides that the territory OF
Tie SllldllCI Nlly Sllclli pC OCClllOd ~ "
annexed to, Joined to and merged with
the larger city, and the principle OF
territorial annexation enters into the
act of consolidation.
For reasons that were set forth al
length to you in a former letter,
stated that, in my opinion, the regis
tered voters residing in the territory
proposed to be annexed on October 1G
will, in the event that such election is
fa avorable to annexation, be entitled to
vote at the coming primary election
A somewhat similar question in prin-
ciple is here presented, although the
circumstances are different"

PRAIRIE DOGS MbSSACRED
BY THOUSANDS AS PESTS
Official Government Poisoner Said tc
Have Exterminated Large Num-
bers of the Animals

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 7.-More than
$50, 900 prairie dogs have been killed by
j. w. Holman, the officially recognized
United States government poisoner of
the pests in the southwestern states
during the last eight months.
Mr.. Holman is not through yet. He
is here now obtaining a new supply
of stiychnine and will start out on a
second crusade within a few days.
Il am going to kill at least 1,5000,0O0
doge during the next eight months, -"
said Mr.. Holman today. THE prairie
dogs are a serious pest in the south
west. They are destroying pasture
land and their burrows make it danger
Gus for horsemen. They cannot be
trapped or shot, but it is easy to poi
son them by placing strychnine on
wheat, which they eat readily"
The government pays Mr.. Holman
/ 1-2 cents a head for killing the dogs.

good men to stand for election, it IS
certain the private citizen will reap
vastly more from the sowing of honest
business men than from that even of
honest politicians.
1t is considered practically certain
the three men named will be indorsed
with c. w. Conway and possibly John
T. Pope by the Good Government
workers. What other will be chosen
for recommendation to voters seeking
the best for the city cannot now be
determined, as the reform organization
members have not yet reached de-
cision. There will be a meeting for
that purpose Saturday night in Sym
phony hall, and it is rumored the
choice will be made then. No formal
ticket will be placed in the field, but
the members of the organization will
see to it that candidates who are rec
commended by particular qualifications,
by integrity of motive and by a desire
to serve the best interests of the city
will be chosen from the general ruck
of officeseekers and their names pre-
sented for the consideration of the
good citizenry of Greater Los Angeles.

Refuting the statements advanced

of that city who had entered the race
for members of the council of Los An
geles would not be eligible to office.
city Attorney Hewitt last night wrote
an exhaustive opinion directing City
clerk Lelande to receive the nominat-

declaring they were as eligible to run
for office as any one who had resided
the required time in Los Angeles

His decision follows;

His Name Causes Surprise

The formal request of John Myers
that his name be placed with the six
others for nomination as auditor came
as a surprise to many, as Mr.. Myers
has said several times that he was
out of politics. For TWO terms he
was an assistant in the county treas
urer's office under Mark Jones, but
when he ran for city treasurer against
''Uncle Billy Workman four years
ago and frightened the invincible old
man by cutting down his majority to
a mere shadow of its former self he
said he was through with the game.
Certain powerful influences, however,
are understood to have been brought
to bear on Mr.. Myers, and he con-
sented Wednesday at noon to stand
His petitions were taken out by friends
and in less than twenty-four hours he
had more than enough names to place
him by law on the ticket. His pc
titions. signed by many prominent
men, were filed yesterday afternoon.
For eighteen years Mr.. Myers has
lived in Los Angeles. After his race
against William Workman for treas
urer, in 1905, he became connected with
the Union Title and Trust company
which built the Braly building. When
that company was consolidated with
another he left and went to banking
with the Home Savings bank). and
last spring resigned there to take a.
position of trust and importance with
the Columbia Trust company on Third
street. His home up to last week has
been in the cid Fourth ward, but Mon

TALKS WITH THE

Professor William James, of Harvard

died on December 20. 1905, to many
perscns. through Mrs. Piper. the med

a hundred pages Of the number Of the

tim records of these communications.
one Of tho 'onger records is that of

fcssor James. himself, and believed by
Dr.. James Hys.op, secretary of the So
ciety. and others, to have been with
the spirit of DR.. Hodgson."
