PLAYS OF THE SOUTH
GROW IN POPULARITY

Players Of the South possess an
indefnable charm and especially the
two founded on the popular novels
of Thomas Dixon. Jr., THE Traitor
and THE Clansman." One reason is
that the South is the native home Of
romance, and a charming love story
always possesses potent appeal to
the theatergoers. Il would take col
umns to inquire into the many other
causes of the remarkable popularity
Of plays of this type but the fact re-
mains that such plays are what the
public demands. The success of The
Traitor" is even more remarkable
than that of "The Clansman" for sue
cess is often hard 70 duplicate. This
new play by Claiming Pollock and
Thomas Dixon. Jr., is manifestly a
great drama or it could not have
achieved such results. Those who en-
joyed The Clansman" and their
name is legion will be delighted to
learn that the dramatic sequel of that
mueh-talked OF play will be the at
traction at the Auditorium, Wednes-
day, March3. a.t.-

ALLEGED MEMBER OF MANY
ORGANIZATIONS LOCKED UP
Charge of Drunkenness Against M.
Gamer Changed to That Of
Suspicion

A man giving the name Of M
Gamer was arrested for drunkenness
at the corner of First and Alameda
streets last night, but when brought to
central station attained such degree
of sobriety as to arouse suspicion.
Gamer stated he was a member of
the Railway Conductors association,
and later boasted he was full-fedged
member of the Odd Fellows
Patrol Wagon Officer Sweeney, who
belongs to both organizations, ques-
toned Gamer and found he did not
have the thigh sign" of either
When searched cards were found In
Gamers possession denoting member
ship in the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the Locomotive Flremen
and Engineers association.
Three cards were found bearing the
names of r. w. Ming, Mathew Mar
tin and Edwin Hangschild, the cards
designating membership in the two
railroad organizations.
The matter was reported to Chief of
Police Dishman, who ordered the
charge of drunkenness be changed and
Gamer be locked up on suspicion. The
matter was reported to the detectives
office and an investigation will be
made today. 1t is the opinion of the
police that Gamer has been beating
his way and raising money by use of
the bogus membership cards.

SAN PEDRANS DIVIDED ON
MATTER OF LUNCH WAGONS
Council PetltIoned to Amend ordl-
nance SO That Street Restaura-
teurs May Be Licensed

An apparent conflict of opinion of
what is best for San Pedro has devel-
oped among business men Of the har-
Dor city.
Last Tuesday the council passed an
ordinance prohibiting lunch wagons
from standing on the streets of San
Pedro. This action was taken on the
petition of a number of restaurant men,
who declared that before San Pedro be-
came part of Los Angeles lunch wag-
ons were not permitted, and they did
not think it would be fair to change
the policy. The council agreed, and
passed the ordinance they asked.
Yesterday petition was submitted
to the council asking that a permit be
given Charles B. Wilson to maintain a
lunch wagon on the streets of San Pc
dro. The petition contains the sigma
lures of about forty business men, but
none of them is a proprietor of a res
taurant. They ask that If an ordinance
has been passed making 1t illegal to
maintain such lunch wagons it be
amended to permit of issuing licenses
for this purpose.

WOMAN BARRED FROM
HOUSE BY lNEBRlATE
GIRL FINDS INTOXICATED MAN
LYING AT ENTRANCE
Gallant Stranger Assists Female Over
the PROSTATE Form of Drunken
Person-PoIice Appealed
to by Victim

A young woman was kept on the
sidewalk, outside of her rooms, for half
an hour in the busiest section of
South Broadway at o'clock last even
ing, by a drunken man, and she had
to appeal for aid at police headquar-
ters.
IT want to go to my room," she said
to the desk sergeant, but there is a
man who Is lying inside the doorway
and I am afraid. 1 live at No. 212
South Broadway and have an impor-
tant engagement and L must get in
soon."
1.-THE patrol wagon is out just now,
but it will be down there in minute
or two and we will rid the place of
your unwelcome visitor" replied the
desk sergeant.
The woman returned to the place,
and soon a small crowd was attracted
by her actions. She would go inside
the hallway, only to return in hurry.
She repeated this movement several
times, until finally a gallant and in
terested spectator inquired the reason.
"Oh, there's a horrid man lying at
the foot of the stairs and I'm so
afraid" she said. The stranger peeked
in the hallway and saw man ap-
parently dead to the world enjoying a
quiet sleep, unmlndtul OF the anxiety
he was causing the young woman.
Come along" said the man; Il will
see that you are not harmed" Gath
ering her skirts about her, the woman
approached the entrance again. accom-
panied by the stranger. AS she neared
the PROSTATE form she started back,
crying: What if he should grab me?
He may be a murderer. L cannot 60
Do you suppose he has gun or a
Infer"
After some coaxing the young woman
made another advance, and as she
neared the PROSTATE form, the gallant
stranger lifted her over the body, and
she fled up the stairs, giving hasty
thanks to the stranger who had per-
| formed a regular Walter Raleigh

wiped his eyes, and apparently as So
Der as a judge, walked away before
the arrival of the patrol.

SEWER ASSESSMENT
HALF WHAT FEARED
PROPERTY OWNERS AROUSED
UNNECESSARILY
Realty Holders In South Park Dis.
trict Believe They Must Pay
Dollar and Quarter a
Llneal Foot

Indignant property owners in the
southwestern part of the city have
been making life a burden to Frank
Palomares, assessment clerk, because
of the high assessment they must pay
for what Is known as the South Park
sewer. They figure that their assess
ment will be SIPS a front foot be-
cause the contract price, including cost
of advertising, engineers fees and oth-
er incidentals, brings the cost of the
sewer to S1.25 a lineal foot. Because
the price is SIPS a lineal foot they be-
lieve they will have to pay that much
per front foot for their assessment.
In most cases it has taken the as
sessment clerk but a minute to show
the objectors they are wrong The con-
tract price of $1.25 a lineal foot is dl-
vided between both sides of the street
and the actual assessment is 621a cents
a front foot or a little more than $50
per 80 foot lot. When protesting prop
erty owners have learned that their as
sessments are not to be as high as they
anticipated they have breathed deep
sighs of relief and left the office of the
assessment clerk in a happier frame
of mind.
But some of the property owners
still believe they have just cause for
complaint. A sewer was recently laid
in this district and the assessment per
front foot was much less than in the
South Park sewer district. But the
contractor who had the cheaper job
had not gone far before he discovered
that he would lose money and had TO
sell his contract.
Another feature that has made the
assessment of 621A cents n front foot
higher than 1t would be ordinarily is
that nearly every corner lot in the as
sessment district has been assessed
for previous sewers and on this ac-
count the assessment clerk has been
forced to practically cut these lots from
the district and give them only nom
inal assessment.

ASKS MORE MONEY
FOR STORM SEWER
WANTS GARVANZA APPR0PRIA-
TON DOUBLED
Board of Public Works Tells Council
Adequate Drain Cannot Be Con-
struoted for Five Thou
sand Dollars

Rather than throw away $4,000 of the
citv's money the board of public works
will ask the council to reconsider its
action in appropriating that sum for
the construction of a storm drain TO
relieve the Garvanza arroyo and make
the amount $4,000.
The city engineer reported to the
board Yesterday that he could build a
storm drain of 2O-inch pipe Tor lhe
$500 the council had appropriated, but
that it would have only one-siXth the
capacity of the big concrete storm
drain he had contemplated construct
ing that it would not be able to handle
ali the water of heavy flood and that
fine city would still be liable for dam
ages from property owners aHected py
the impounding of waters in the Car
vanZa arroyo. TIT.
works asked the council to appropriate
s10 600 for a concrete storm drain that
world carry the water through the
Metz tract and into the Arroyo Seco.
This was the result of the polcy
adopted by the council OF bulldln8 no
more storm drains by district assess
nent. The concrete drain was to oe
1art of a permanent system and would
easily handle all the water that is I'M
pounded in the Garvanza arroyo eacn
rainv season. The council cut the de-
mand of the board of public works IN
two and instructed the city englneer
to build a storm drain not to cost more
than $4,000. m ,-,,,
Not only will the proposed 2O-inch
drain be inadequate to carry the water
and will be useless when a permanent
storm drain is built in that portion OF
the city, but the right of way for
nortion of the drain cannot be secured
unless it is of larger size. The prop
erty owner who controls the right oI
go, has nositively refused to give the
desired right unless the sewer Is OF
sufficient size.

SOCIALISM AGAINST
TARIFF TO Be ISSUE
CONSERVATIVES IN ENGLAND
TO FOLLOW BALF0UR
General Election VIII Take Place in
December or January, Depending
on Action of House of Lords
on Budget

LONDON, Sept 24.-Agents of both
political parties are convinced, it was
said today, that a general election will
take place either in December or Janu-
airy, the date depending on whether the
house of lords shall reject the budget
outright or take a more temporizlng
course. The house of commons Will
conclude its discussion of the budget
and send it to the house Of lords about
October 21.
Should the house Of lords reject the
budget it is probable the Liberals
might win on the double issue of re-
form in the house of lords and the
budget. For this reason the shrewd
moderate men on the Conservative side
are anxious to make the election strug-
gle as Mr.. Balfour recently laid 1t
down, on the platform of tariff reform
versus Socialism, keeping the question
of the house of lords in the back
ground 1t is believed Mr.. Balfour and
Lord Lansdowne favor the acceptance
of the budget by the house of lords
with the understanding that the gov
ernment will dissolve parliament and
appeal to the country.
