BAND IS
FEATURE OF CIRCUS
Trained Horses and Dogs Vie
with Chimpanzee for AMI
NAL HonorS

A brass band of elephants is the lat
est achievement in training animals.
1t is one of the striking features which
will be seen in Los Angeles with the
Barnum & Bailey show, Tuesday and
Wednesday, September 20-21.
These elephants do not merely make
a noise on the instruments of a brass
band They get real harmony out of
them. The audience may easily recog-
nize their tunes. for they are selected
from among the OIL songs that every
body knows. They play Home, Sweet
Home" and THE Last Rose of Sum-
mer," perhaps not as well as Sousa's
band, but certainly better than they
are rendered by the average village
band. One big elephant sounds all the
regulation bugle calls as a prelude to a
march number. The big drummer uses
his tail instead of the usual bucksl1in
stick. Sitting on the head of each ele-
phantine soloist is a beautiful girl.
The girls sing to the accompaniment
of the elephant band.
Another act of Importance among
the animal features is a company of
Hungarian stations. They walk into
the arena and enter the ring on their
hind feet. The ring is set to represent
a roadside inn. One of the horses is
the landlord. A second horse enters
for food and a nights lodging. The
landlord is very hospitable, taking care
of his guest elaborately. After sup
per the boarder goes to sleep in his
chair. Mine host wakes him, lights a
candle and shows him to his bed.
Morning comes and the landlord raises
a din with the breakfast bell. The
guest lifts up from his bed and listens
with disgust at the thought Of getting
up so early. Then, like schoolboy of
the lazy age, he fops over and goes to
sleep again. The landlord comes in and
takes him by the ear The guest starts
row and there is fight. To the
rescue of the tavernkeeper comes a
third horse, dressed as the county con-
stable. The unruly lodger Is hustled
off to Jail.
Another trained animal speciality is
introduced by Winston's troupe Of
seals. They ride horses, jump hurdles,
play tennis and Juggle firebrands and
balls with skill. While riding horses
they toss balls and swords back and
forth among themselves, catching the
balls on their noses and receiving the
swords between their fins and bodies.
Then there is Paula Peters dog and
monkey circus. One monkey is an ac>
compllshed jockey and the property
"man" of the little act. The dogs are
an organized fire department. sound
ing alarm brings them in with full
flame fighting equipment The captain
of the company climbs a ladder and
rescues a poodle from a burning cot
tage.

MOTHER To FIGHT
FOR SEIZED CHILD.
Mrs. Lillian EngeIbraCht Accuses
Husband Of Employing Men
to Take Son
WILL ASK DIVORCE, SHE SAYS
Thinks Boy Now with Relatives
of Man from Whom She
Is Separated
WILL ASK DIVORCE, SHE SAYS

Elmer Engelbracht, years of age
who was torn from the arms of his
mother Saturday afternoon by TWO
men who declared they were detectives,
is still missing. His distracted mother
Mrs. Lillian Engelbracht, accuses her
husband, Theodore Engelbracht, form
erly cigar salesman. of having em-
ployed the men to take her boy from
her by force. She said yesterday that
she would begin proceedings for d.
Vorce within few days, charging de-
sertion.
Mrs. Engelbracht was so nervous
yesterday, following Saturdays excit-
ing events, that she was unable to
plan her line of action, but she said
that she would fight for the custody OF
her boy. She has no idea where he IS,
but believes him to be with some rela-
tive of his father.
IT do not want to make any further
statements, or take any action Mrs.
Engelbracht said yesterday, until |
consult with my attorney, II. II. Appel.
I do not know what steps he can take
to apprehend the men who stole my
boy"
IT have not heard from either the
boy or my husband since they dlsap-
peared" she continued. 'The boy, must
be with relatives of my HUSBAND, put
where I do not know
'I only hope he has good care" she
added tenderly.
IT will say, however, that am go
ing to try and get a divorce from Mr..
Engelbracht and the custody of Elmer.
Goodness knows, there are enough
charges that I could bring against him
to warrant granting the decree, but l
believe I will charge simple desertion.
1t is claimed by Mrs. Engelbracht
and friends of the family that Engel-
bracht hired two men to kidnap the
boy. They succeeded in getting him
from his mother Thursday night, when
he was taken from his crib. Later ne
returned only to be taken by force
again Saturday afternoon while he was
RECOMMENDING his mother along Seven
teenth street on the way uptown.
The husband, it is claimed, also had
the family furniture moved from the
fat in which the mother and boy had
been living, at 221 East seventeenth
street, taking away things which, Mrs;
Engelbracht says, were her personal
property. Official action may be sal;,t taken
on the part of Mrs. Engelbracht'
through her attorney, H. II. Appel,
Tuesday, in regard to this.

NEW ARTISTS To SING
ON Los ANGELES STAGE
Philharmonic Course Will Draw
Metropolitan Stars to the
Pacific Coast

Concert goers in Los Angeles this
winter will have a chance to hear
many decidedly novel and interesting
musicians. The program for the Phil
harmonic course, as outlined yester-
day by L. e. Behymer, promises to
be marked with the number of abSO-
lutely new artists. Usually the Pa
cific coast has had little chance to
listen to the newcomers to the con-
cert stage, until frequent eastern ap-
pearances had dulled the edge of de-
sire, but this year this is not to be
the case.
The opening concert for the course
this year will include Bernice James
de Pasquali, a Boston woman who
has been singing and winning laurels
in Europe, and more recently with the
Metropolitan opera company, where
she was heralded as the successor of
Madame SembI1ch. She will be ac-
companied on her concert tour by AL
lesandro Scotti, and the singers will
give a concert program which will
include also scenes from several op-
eras.
Jaroslav Kocian, the young Bohe-
mian violinist who will be included in
the list of instrumentalists, and JOSEF
Hoffman, pianist, are both too well
known to require formal introduction
here, although the violinist has not
played in Los Angeles before.
Liza Lehman, composer of the
many beautiful musical numbeSs,
among which the Persian Garden"
has been a favorite with singers for
some time, will appear with quartet
of vocalists giving this song cycle, as
we'll as many solos, and other concerted
numbers. Nine. Lehman plays the
accompaniments, directs the singers
and occasionally adds her own voice
to the ensemble.
Madame Gerville-Reache, Of whom
the Boston Post said: 1.-THE music
flies along as If there had hardly been
time to put the burning stuff on pa
per- It is not dramatic. 1t is fright
fully and tremendously elemental. So
was the great Gerville-Reache By
nature, by voice. by physique, by the
very bottom of her soul, she Is fitted
as no woman on the stage, save per-
haps Emma Calve, is fitted for the
part" will also be one Of the mem
bers of the distinguished company of
soloists to be included in this course.
Madame Joanna Gadski and Bonci,
tenor, will also be heard in the sea-
son, completing list of most admir-
able and attractive artists.
other noted musical attractions
which Mr.. Behymer will offer for the
local public will be the Metropolitan
Symphony orchestra with the Russian
ballet and the great solo dancers, Anna
Pavlowa and Michael Mordkin, who
were such a stupendous success at the
Metropolitan opera last winter in New
York. These great stars viii be at

CLAIMS NEIGHB0R IN HEN
HOUSE Threatened HIM

Frank Velasco Of 233 South Avenue
10 summoned a police officer at z
o'clock yesterday morning and caused
the arrest of Theodore Roengke, claim
ing that Roengke had threatened his
life on being discovered in the Velasco
hen house.
Roengke occupies a small house in
the rear Of the Velasco home. Velasco
informed the officer that shortly be-
fore 7 o'clock he saw Roengke enter
ing his hen house. He went in to or
der the man out when. he says, the
latter fiourished revolver and threat
ened to shoot.
Velasco then called in the officer. He
believes that Roengke went to the hen
house to steal eggs. Roengke was
booked at the city Jail on a charge of
threats.

The insurgent conference held in

end the lion and the lamb lay down
together-the lamb inside the lion.
1t has been apparent for some time
that Gov. Vessey and R. 0. Rich
ards, who for nearly year had
been at swords points, had formed
an alliance, and the reports we're
current that the Governor had
made an unconditional surrender.
The result of the conference con-
firms these reports, although it re-
quired some scrapping to force the
other members of the Vessey ma
chine to join in the surrender.

float" declared Mr.. Richards. The
conditions on which he agreed to
make the old ship float we're that
he was to be permitted to dictate
the platform and be made chair
man of the campaign committee.
How important these demands
were will be realized by those who
know the patronage program pro-
posed by Mr.. Richards. He pro-
poses to estab blish a patronage
board composed of members Sc
lected from the state central COM
mittee, and all government ap-
pointments must be made on the
recommendation of this board. If
therefore, he could write the plat
form pledging the legislature to en-
act such a law, then get himself
elected chairman of the central
committee, it would be easy for
him to become the dominating in
fluence in this patronage board
and establish himself as dictator.
The governor would become sim
ply stool-pigeon as regards ap.
pointments, and would have moth
ing to say in the selection of the
men on whom he must rely to make
his administration successful. A
strong candidate for governor would
have spurned such suggestion,
but the insurgent candidate did
not. The demands of Richards

FREIGHT TIE UP BROKEN
Kenosha Merchants Get Freight Shipped
to Them More Than Week Ago

The freight tie up which has bothered
the merchants and other business men
in Kenosha for the past ten days seems
to be broken and this morning cars Of
merchandise which had been on the
road for full week coming from Chi
cage reached Kenosha. Some of this
freight was perishable matter and it
is declared that much of it is being
refused by the merchants who ordered
it for delivery more than week ago
The coal situation in Kenosha is get
ting better daily as trains of coal are
being sent into the city and the danger
of tie up of the big plants on ac-
count of the coal shortage seems to be
past. The N. R. Allen s Sons Com
pany is still waiting for the delivery
of eighty cars of hides and four humid
red cars of bark but the railway COM
pany is making an effort to move these
cars so as to bring in enough material
to keep the plant in operation. The
other plants in the city have raw ma
terial held up by the railways but it
is declared that this will be moving
within the next forty-eight hours.

TO Be HANDSOME STRUCTURE
Windorf Brothers and John Larsen Get
Contracts for New Church to be
Erected at the Corner of Crate and
Elizabeth Streets.

Members of the Swedish Baptist
church in Kenosha have decided to
proceed at once with the erection of a
new church for the congregation and
the work of building will be started
lust as soon as the weather will permit
The new church will be erected at the
corner of Crate and Elizabeth streets
and it is planned to make it one of
the most modern church buildings in
Kenosha. The plans for the new
building have been made by Architect
Howard Hahn. The building will be
of brick with an asphalt roof and will
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
In connection with it there will be a
parsonage, a neat building of seven
rooms.
The church will have an auditorium
large enough to seat $50 people with
large Sunday school room adjoining.
1t will be built so that the two rooms
can be thrown together making a single
auditorium with seating capacity of
more than 900 people. The church
will be modern in every way, In the
basement there will be large parlors.
reading room, kitchen and dining
rooms and it is expected that these
rooms will be large enough to take
care of all the social gatherings of
the church.
The contract for the mason work on
the church has been let to John Larsen
and AWindorf Brothers have the con-
tract Nor the carpenter work. It is
planned to have the church ready for
dedication by the early part of August.
During the past year the congrega-
ton Of the Swedish Baptist church has
been growing very rapidly and it is
now one of the most active of the small
er congregations in the city. The
board of trustees and the building com
mittee headed by M. Matson are busy
at work collecting the funds for the
church and it is expected that large
amount of the money needed for the
completion of the building will be rails
ed before the work of laying the foun-
dations is completed.
While the membership of the church
is not large the members are decidedly
enthusiastic and they will give literally
to the support of the congregation.

SNOW HARD ON FARMERS
Ruralites Just Beginning to Dig Them
selves Out of the Huge Drifts

Ruralites Just Beginning to Dig Them
selves Out of the Huge Drifts
Many farmers were in the city today
getting supplies such as coal, oil, kero-
sene, flour and other prime necessities
of life. Some of the stories they tell
are very interesting, and give graphic
illustration Of the extent to which thew
suffered owing to the recent heavy
snow storm Almost alt of the little
hamlets and villages were forced to re-
ly on their own resources, communica-
tion with the outside world being com
pletely shut off. When the small stock
of provisions kept in the family 1arder
was used up, the corner grocery stores
were raided, and their stock quickly
disappeared. When the supply of
kerosene was gone tallow candles were
brought into commission, and many a
farmer was forced to do his milking
by candle light. When the scanty sup
ply of coal was used up, the old rail
fences built with such infinite labor by
their grandfathers, were chopped up
and used for fuel; but when the -four
got low, when starvation stared them
in the face they were forced to unite
and break the roads.
