PROMISES TO DO HIS BEST
Pending his formal appointment,
Lieut. Sebastian was somewhat retl-
cent about certain parts of his pro-
gram with regard to increasing the
efficiency of the department, but he
SAYS emphatically that as a police Of
fcer having a full knowledge of the
conditions In Los Angeles from his
ten years experience, he Will do
| everything in his power to prevent
crime and increase the efficiency or
the department.
Sebastian comes by his ability as a
law officer naturally. His father,
though a farmer In everyday life,
was a deputy sheriff back in Missouri
before the family came to Los An
geles When they moved to Ventura
in 1874 the elder Sebastian became a
deputy sheriff, and later in this coun-
ty he served at times under Sherlh
George Gard.
A grandfather, Milton Sebastian,
was sheriff of ST. Francis county, Mis-
souri,, and a circuit judge as well. Sc
bastian was born at Pennington, in
st. Francis county, and drew inspira-
ton from MS ruBS6u STdIluldtHGA CD
he saw him perform his duties.
HAS ENVABLE RECORD
Sebastian entered the police service
in Los Angeles ten years ago, or
April "a 1900, as a special officer. In
October that year he was made reg
ular patrolman.
Four years ago in January he was
appointed sergeant after having
served as acting sergeant at UniVer-
sity station for nearly year.
Prior to that time he had served as
Gamewell police reporting machine
operator at headquarters and had done
clerk duty in addition; he was spe-
cial policeman at the Santa F'e depot;
from the University station he was
transferred to Chinatown and made an
enviable record in cleaning up that,
at the time, Vice-infected district.
June l this year he was made act
ing lieutenant at central station, and
August % regular lieutenant. He
was at central station until December
l, when he was again transferred to
University station. Thus he has seen
service all along the line, and every
where his work has been clean, faith
full and conscientious.
Sebastian is married and has son
ia years old, who is in Polytechnic
high school. The new chief and his
family live at 1888 West Twenty-sec-
ond street.

CHIHUAHUA REBELS

CHIHUAHUA, Dec. 23.-A daring
squad of four insurrecto scouts rode
into this city last night, distributing
circulars stating that citizens should
remain within doors after o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, as the rebels intend
to enter the city. The warning is not
regarded seriously. \ patrol of eight
soldiers who fired many shots drove
them from the streets and they disap-
peared in the direction Of the noun

Il believe the office of chief of po-

in the choice of members of the de-
partment.
II have noticed that the men on the
police force who played politics gen
orally lost out in the end
NO TINE FOR POLITICS
Men who are giving their time to

duties of their office.
"A policeman has a good deal to do,

Sebastian said that up to last night
he had not been formally notified of
his appointment, and the first intima-
ton that he had of Mayor Alexander S
announcement that he would be ap-
pointed came when friends called him
up over the telephone and congratu-
lated him. However, he admitted that

with him and the news did not come

ACTORS ROMANCE
Under the Sign of the Rose Love
Grows in Hearts of
Thespians

George Beban. actor, will on next
Monday become George Beban, bene-
dict. Mf. Beban hasn't advertised his
Intentions. in fact, he did his best to
keep them secret, but the story leaked
out yesterday afternoon when Beban
showed up at the registry bureau and
demanded a marriage license blank.
He got the blank, but at the same time
learned that il will do him no good,
for the marriage will not take place
In Los A lgeles county, and license
issued here Is good nowhere else. The
young woman who will soon become
Mrs. Beban is Miss Edith MacBride of
New York. Beban's home is in San
Francisco.
The actor was more ratified yesterday
when he learned that his secret had
been discovered than an aspiring fe-
male impersOnator on amateur night.
He declined Point blank to give any
Information regarding his plans, eX-
cept to say that the marriage ceremony
will be performed Monday, somewhere
In California, but not in Los Angeles
county; and that he and his wife VIII
return here for their honeymoon, arriV-
Ing in the city Tuesday evening.
Beban is well known in San Fran
cisco, though his stage work has Kept
him east most of the time during re-
cent years. He has a brother IN the
northern city, who is in the United
States customs department, and 1t
probably is safe conjecture that the
marriage will take place somewhere in
the vicinity of the Golden Gate, with
the brother as best man.
Mr. Beban's one-act play, "The Sign
Of the Rose" has been the feature of
the local Orpheum bill during this week
and last, his own acting of an italian
immigrant having won high praise not
only locally but all over the country.
Miss MacBride plays an important
part in the play. and when it is eX-
banded into a four-act drama next sea-
son a role will be provided for her
The couple will have only few days
in Los Angeles, as they have to be in
Salt Lake City a week from next Mon

day night.
The examinations of policemen and
firemen are the most expensive that
the civil service department conducts,
for a medical examination fee of 81
must be paid for each applicant. AS
the large increase in the police force
made larger number of examinations
necessary it also used up the funds
of the civil service department rapidly
