SECOND CONVICTION OF
AGED WOMAN CONFIRMED
Mrs. briggs Suffers with Serious
Heart Trouble, but Must
Go to Prison

The district court of appeals in a
decision handed down yesterday af-
firmed the judgment of the lower
courts in the conviction of Mrs. Ger
trude briggs, go years old, whose trial
on a charge OF forgery dragged
through the superior court two years.
Mrs. briggs was sentenced to serve
five years in the San Quentin peni-
tentiary for the forgery Of the name
of John G. Charnock, a raneher OF
Palms, to a lease to 1877 acres of land
in that vicinity with an option to pur-
chase. She appealed her case and
was granted a new trial. She was
tried on the charge in Judge DAVIS
court and convicted, receiving pen
itentiary sentence.
The case was appealed six months
ago and the decision rendered yester-
day practically abolishes all hope the
woman may have had of regaining her
liberty. She has been at liberty un-
der heavy bail.
During the period of her imprlson-
ment in the county Jail during her
first trial the aged woman received
the sympathy and support of Mrs, Hes
ter T. Griffith of the w. c. 7. U,
Considerable interest was aroused
among the various organizations in
her case and her release was tenn
porarily obtained through the testi-
mony Of physicians that her heart was
twice it's normal size and that i'm
prisonment would ultimately result in
her death.

The Theaters

Seats for the engagement of Madame
Nazimova at Hamburger's Majestic
theater will be placed on sale at the
box office at o'clock this morning.
Six evening and three afternoon per-
formances will be given. On Monday
and Tuesday evenings and wednesday
afternoon the bill will be Ibsen's
Little Eyolf," on Wednesday ana
Thursday evenings and Thursday af-
ternoon Thanksgiving day) "A Dolls
! louse" is scheduled, and on Friday
and Saturday evenings and Saturday
afternoon "The Fairy Tale will be
presented.
'The Fortune Hunter will continue
to make Los Angeles forget its trou-
bIes for another week, beginning
Monday night, with matinees Wednes-
day, Thursday Thanksgiving day)
and Saturday. This clever comedy
which has been commended in the
highest possible terms by press and
public alike, has caught the popular
fancy, and nightly the Mason is being
taxed to contain the crowds. The en-
gagement of 1.-THE Fortune Hunter" is
the first two weeks engagement the
Mason opera house has ever had. The
popularity of the play, which is ex-
pressed SO well in box office receipts,
is the best evidence of Manager
Wyatt's judgment in making the long
booking.
One of the most important theatrical
events of the local stock season will
be "The Case of Sergeant Wilde"
which will take place on the Belasco
stage Monday night.
Although Mrs. Wells is successful
short-story writer, two of her stories
appearing in November periodicals,
sHrI,a Ctaco oP CarUaanf WiIdeb ia her
first effort in the dramatic field, and
from all indications it will prove un-
usually successful for a first attempt
at writing for the stage. Manager
Blaclxwood is highly enthusiastic over
the new play, feeling which is shared
in by every member of the Belasco
company.
The new piece of dranaturgy is an
American play with several really
thrilling situations and a love story
which Manager Blackwood says is in
comparable. 1t will allow especially
fine opportunities for strong acting to
Lewis S. Stone, Eleanor Gordon, Frank
Camp, William Yerance and several
others OF the company, while 1t will
also serve to introduce John ]. Ken
nedy to Belasco audiences.
"Florodora" will close at the Grand
opera house Saturday night, and Sun
day afternoon Ferris Hartman and his
associates will offer, for the first time
by stock organization, 1.-THE Spring
Chicken"
Seven acts, which promise to be up
to the standard set by this weeks at
fractions, will open at the Los Angeles
theater with the usual matinee next
Monday. The new bill looks to be
another example of the excellence Of
Sullivan & Considine shows 1t is
headed by Franklyn Ardell and his
company in the timely political comedy
sketch, "The Suffragette," which has
scored a substantial hit all over the
Sullivan e. Considine circuit. Roland
Carter and his company will present
his original musical travesty, ''Vaca-
tion Time" Others on the program
will be Hetty Urma, one of England's
foremost male impersonators; Christy

OFFICIAL COUNT ELECTS
DEMOCRAT TO CONGRESS

MARINETTE, Wis, Nov. 16.-On the
face of the returns in the ninth con-
gressional district Konop, Democrat, of
Kewaunee has a majority, and the GER
tificate of election will undoubtedly be
issued to him by the secretary of state.
The canvassing board of Marinette
county, by a vote OF 2 to l. refused to
admit the thirty-four alleged Repub-
Iican votes in the Second ward which
were missed by the inspectors. This
gives Konop a majority of five in the
entire district.

and Lee, the melodious novelists; Kate
Fowler, the Marie Tempest of vaude-
vile, in a somewhat different piano
logue, and Alexander Brisson, the con-
tortionist, and motion. pictures.
The sale of seats for the two matt
nee performances of the Countess
Thamara de Swirsky, which will take
place at the Auditorium next Tuesday
and Friday afternoons, will open at
the Auditorium box office tomorrow
morning.
To those interested in natural his
tory the management of Pantages
theater will offer tremendously IN
teresting subject next week in the
public appearance of "Alfred the
First" young, tractable chlmpanzee.
ALFRED the First can do anything
that a human being can do but talk,
and even without this faculty he can
make his desires plainly known. He
can skate, dance, smoke, play hand
organ and perform other acts which
indicate intelligence akin to human.
other acts on the same program will be
Edwin Keough, Helen Nelson and
company in an elaborate scenic, cos
tune and electrical production; Billie
and Maud Kellar in a singing and
singers and dancers; Delmar and Del
mar, gymnasts, and new moving pic
lures.
ga Grand Army Man" will be the
Burbank bill for next week, and A.
Byron Beasley will return from the
vacation which the two weeks OF
musical comedy gave him, to play the
part which was made famous by
David Warfield. This play was OBJ
tanned from David Belasco by Oliver
Morosco while he was in New York,
and it will be staged with close at
tention to detail. IT never has been
attempted previously by any stock
c. rnpany, as it is one of the most ex-
pensive productions ever given, the
royalty being of true Belasco dimen-
sions.
Augusta Close comes to the Or
pheum as headliner for Thanksgiving
week, beginning Monday. Miss Close
has not been here in some time, but
she is a person not easily forgotten,
and her delightful pianologues still are
fresh in the public mind. She comes
again with a new lot of spoken songs
and limitations, and is assured of a
hearty welcome. Willard Simms is
another who goes to make up the "one
big laugh" bill for a holiday showing.
Simms, in his wallpaper playlet,
"Flinders Furnished Flat" is one
long scream. Spissell Brothers and
company bring a European novelty,
wherein an idiotic writer is the ex-
cuse for much fun and some clever
work, while Thurber and Madison, in
"On Shopping Tour" will present
much bright and smart chatter and
song. Tortajada will be in her last
week, as will "Marse Shelby's Chicken
Dinner" with Mr.. Wade and his COM
pany; Quinn and Mitchell and the
Flying Martins. New pictures will
complete the bill.
Charles W. King, who has the part
of an old southern gentleman in
"Marse Shelbys Chicken Dinner at
the Orpheum this week, was char
acter man in the Burbank stock COM
pany when 1t first opened ten years
ago at the Burbank theater. He has
many "reminiscences to tell of those
early stock days here.
Tomorrow afternoon at Temple Aud
itorium, at o'clock, the first Sympho-
ny orchestra concert of the season will
be given. Director Hamilton promises
some very good things, and the pro-
gram Of Russian music should be full
of interest to those who love symphanic
work.

"A Brutalizing Spectacle"

Under the above caption the News
and Courier makes a very timely
and sensible editorial comment on
the Vanderbilt cup races at Long
SONS were killed and score or
more were injured. The News and
Courier says in part:
1t Is plain, however that the
!, general public, not the public which
attends the races, but the public at
iarge, must intervene if automo-
lie racing is to be stopped,
IS Ii ought to be stopped.
The men who originated this new
sport" will not stop it no matter
how large a toll of human life 1t
takes. Among the blood-bespatter-
ed spectators who cheered the vic
tor as he made his "electrifying
finish" on Saturday expressions of
regret were heard, we are told, that
so many persons should have been
killed and manned, but the crowd
did not leave, and as for the man
agement it issued the announcement
that "the Grand Prize race over
the same course will positively be
| held on Saturday. October 16." A.
r. Pardington, vice-president and
manager of the Motor Parkway,
7"spoke of the race only as a sue
cess" The statement chiIls us to
3the marrow. The man must be alb
solutely heartless. Deaf to the
3groans of the wounded and dying,
deaf to the death walls of the poor
&fools whose lives were crushed out,
