ROBIN HOOD PRESENTED
BY HARTMAN COMPANY
BY Florence Bosard Lawrence

Reginald De KoVen'S beautiful opera,
Robin Hood" is the bill this week at
the Grand. The Ferris Hartman play
ers s.sow cleverness and much ability
in adapting themselves to the diff
cult roles and the chorus is we'll cos
tuned and sings the many chorus
numbers with considerable power.
Robin Hood" was so long a faVorite
vehicle for the old BOstonians that
its every solo and ensemble number
is familiar and this very fact makes
it perhaps the more difficult of presen-
tation now, because each tiny deIect
is more clearly revealed. Despite this
fact, however, the Hartman company
gives a satisfactory production, and
both Edith Mason, as Maid Marian, and
Tom Persse, as Robin Hood, fully de-
serve the applause which falls to them.
Myrtle Dingwall, in the role of Anna
belle, is showing a decided gain, not
only Vocally, but in stage appearance
and action as well. John H. Lenore
was cast as VIII Scarlet, and sang his
solos to the delight of the listeners,
who applauded his efforts vigorously.
George Poultney sang the part of Lit
tie John. and his Brown October Ale
was well received. The orchestra is
large and is composed of musicians
who, by displaying a little more in
terest in their own parts, might ma
terially improve the erect OF the en-
tire production. Other members of the
cast are Ferris Hartman, as the
Sheriff: Walter McLeon, as Guy;
Joseph Fogarty, as Friar Tuck, and
Miss Josie Hart, as Dame burden.
Alan a Dale, the part in which Jes-
sic Bartlett Davis achieved such last
ing fame, and which was one of the
most delightful parts of the opera, is
played by Miss Georgianna Strauss,
who sang the role yesterday afternoon,
but was unable to appear last night.
The management promise her appear
ance tonight and for the rest of the
week, and she is said to give a most
artistic presentation of the role. Every
one of the well-known songs received
applause last night and the thinkers
Chorus" the "Milkmaid's" song, the
"Jet Black Crow" Brown October
Ale" the Armourer's song and "Oh,
Promise Me" each received several en-
cores.
Maud Allan, by special request from
an admirlng public and her many
friends, will return this week for a
limited farewell engagement at the
Auditorium. The seat sale will open
this morning. Two programs will be
given, Friday afternoon, May 6, and
Saturday evening, May T.
"The Price" Broadhurst's extraor-
dinary play, will start upon its second
week tonight at the Belasco theater
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-02

"Brewster's Millions" the busiest
play ever written. started out on it's
second week at the Burbank yesterday
with two crowded houses This comedy
does not pretend to do anything but
entertain, and it fills the bill to the
limit. It's incessant flow of novel
humor, coupled with it's spectacular
features, make it an ideal amusement
device, and the Burbankers handle it
with all the vim imaginable.
Harry Mestayer has covered himself
with glory in the leading part, which
would exhaust a less energetic actor
before the first week was half over.
While the first performances a week
ago were all that could be desired in
the matter of speed and vivacity, the
weeks experience in dovetailing has
brought about a spontaneity of action
that is delight to the audience.

BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Is
BISHOP CONATY'S THEME

May, the month of special devotion
to the Virgin Mary in the Catholic
calendar, was opened yesterday morn
ing at the Cathedral of st. Vibiana
with a sermon by the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Conaty at the 10:30 o'clock mass on
1.-The Blessed Virgin Mary"
The bishop took for his text ST. Luke,
1:4S, For behold from henceforth all
generations shall call me blessed" He
said in part:
1.-THE church has assigned to each
month some special devotion in order
thus to develop piety. May, the month
of spring, the month of flowers, is
called the month Of Mary because she
was the one chosen by God to give
birth to Christ, and thus to be as the
spring time of redemption. AS the Lily
of Israel she is also symbolized by the
flowers of earth, and thus May calls
TO us the goodness and mercy of God,
who by redemption through Christ
brings life to the world and happiness
to human souls
"She was prefigured by the great
women of the Old Testament and was
foretold as the woman who was
destined to crush the head of the ser
pent. The prophet Isaias described her
when he said: Behold a virgin shall
conceive and bear a son and his name
shall be Emmanuel One sees the
vision of her coming on these words Of
the inspired writer: Thou art fair, o
my beloved, and there is no spot in
thee 1t was to the Virgin Mary of
Nazareth whom the Angel Gabriel pro
claimed as Full of grace, the Lord is
with thee Chosen by God as an in
strument in the work of redemption the
wonderful mystery of the incarnation
is made known by the words of the
angel: The Holy Spirit shall come
upon thee, and the power of the Most
High shall overshadow thee. And
therefore also the holy which shall be
born of thee shall be called the Son of
Cod"

PAYS TRIBUTE To
LATE MARK TWAIN
Or. Locke Declares Humorist Had
important Message and Min
istry to Humanity
SENSE OF HUM0R IMPORTANT
If More Women Laughed Heartily
Fewer Would Suffer from
Nerves, Says Pastor

DR.. Charles Edward Locke, at the
First Methodist Episcopal church, took
for his theme last evening 1.-THE Mis-
sion of Good Humor; or. Mark Twain $
Message and Ministry to Humanity"
A large audience crowded the big
church. DIR. Locke said in part:
"As truth is stranger than fiction, SO
is real human nature more startling
than any creatures of the imagination.
No book is so instructive as the book
of human life. However humble, each
person is either adding to or sub
tracting from the general good.
"In the passing of Mark Twain there
is something more than the transla-
tion of an honored fellow citizen. HIS
seventy-f1ve years were spent in work
ing out an ideal. Not only was he at
his death our greatest literary repre-
sentative, but he had developed
unique message, and he gave it to the
world in 'Huckleberry Finn Tom
Sawyer, Innocence Abroad and other
books.
1--WE are said to have five senses
sight smell, taste, touch and hearing.
To these has been added the moral
sense as found in the conscience II
it were not unpardonably audaclous,
l would add the seventh sense, the
sense of humor. The seventh sense,
to the normal man like the song to
the bird. The man who has no humor
is like The man That hath no music
in himself he Is fit for treasons,
stratagems and spoils.'
1.-THE sense of humor is indispens-
able, universal and providential-a
kind of lubricator for life's intricate
and ponderous machinery. 1t is rudi-
mentary. In some prosaic natures it
hu
it is a divine endowment, and should
be cultivated.
"If a merry heart doeth good, like
a medicine. then a man whose mes
sage and mission are to cultivate the
merry heart will be an apostle of
happiness and health. Such a bene-
factor was Mark Twain.
1.-The sense of humor softens asperl-
ties, relieves the strain of antagonism,
avoids ructions and displaces war with
arbitration and peace. 1t defeats the
pessimist and caricatures his gloomy
and hopeless philosophy. 1t was Mark
Twain who defined the pessimist as
the person who has the choice of two
evils and takes them both.
1.-The sense of humor helps a man
to quit his meanness. The humorist
is more successful than the moralist
in showing the utter contemptibility
of selfishness. The mean man Is not
moved by criticism, denunciation or
ostracism, but he does hate to be
laughed at.
Laugh and grow fat has a deal
of good sense in it. The sense of
humor prolongs life and adds to the
joy of living. To laugh is a physi
illogical necessity. Men would not
have so much indigestion and women
so many nervous disorders if they
would open their mouths and laugh,
and laugh heartily"

Hotel de Galloway Shows Re-

Its Patronage

Is Los Angeles becoming more law
abiding and more free from crime.
degradation and the infection of pro-
fessional crooks, or is the police depart
ment becoming less efficient in the ap-
prehension of those of the underworld
A look at the police register in central
police headquarters will show that
during April, 1909, 1906 persons were
arrested and booked at the station.
Last month only 1868 were rounded up
by police detectives and police officers.
This makes a difference of 33S arrests,
or more than ten arrests a day.
The number of drunks arrested in
April, 1909, was almost an average of
thirty a day, while the number last
month hardly reached fifteen a day,
with the exception of Saturday nights,
when there is always more or less
drunkenness.
Los Angeles during May, April and
June, last year was literally infested
with pickpockets, sneak thieves, "stick-
up" men, "Yags' and any number of
other undesirable citizens. AS a result,
a. large proportion of the arrests made
during that year were of suspects. Out
of the total number of arrests made
last month not more than 500 were
booked as suspects"
Hoboes, tramps and those who
meander from town to town in search
of opportunities for crime are slowly
beginning to discover that Los Angeles
is no place for their operations.
The difference in the number of
drunks arrested in April last year and
this is about 80 per cent. Whether this
has. been due to the closing of certain
cafes and other resorts is not known.
Chief Galloway shortly after his en-
trance into office, issued orders to all
,-yN1,,a hot r.
rested as a drunk unless he was unable
take care of himself. AS a result, pa
trolmen have used more discretion, and
undoubtedly the chiefs order is re-
sponsible, in part at least, for the i'm
proved showing.

man of Oakland, was arrested this af-
ternoon in that city by Deputy Sheriff
Sweeney on a telegraphic warrant from
Los Angeles accusing her of obtaining
property and credit under false pre-
lenses She is now in the county Jail.

to spite, and that the transaction Civ
ing cause for the charge was an inno-
cent one: that she borrowed money
and obtained credit, intending to repay
but found herself unable to do so. Mrs.
Clemshire is the sister of Henry P.
Squire of 2571 Carlton street. Berkeley
once well known as a newspaper man
and now a wealthy mining man. Squire
made an attempt this afternoon to OBJ
tain Mrs. Clemshires release, but as

by the magistrate in Los Angeles who
issued the warrant, she was compelled
to remain in prison.
The amount involved is $685. and the
warrant was sworn to by M. H. Wells
of Los Angeles and issued by Justice of
the Peace w. S. Baird. Mrs. Clemshire
herself declined to discuss her arrest

SUGAR TRUST ASKED
Combines Dissolution Is Souuht
in Federal Action Under

TWO YEARS FIGHT PREDICTED
Uncle Sam Asserts Monopoly Is
Built on Customs Frauds
and Grinding Out Rivals
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The federal
government began today one of it's
most important actions against great
corporations which are said to have
violated the Sherman antitrust law.
Henry A. Wise, United States district
attorney filed in the United states dis
trict court for the southern district of
New York petition asking for the
dissolution of the American Sugar Re-
inning company and twenty-nine other
corporations which compose the So
called sugar trust.
The petition charges an illegal com
bination in restraint of trade, and asks
for court relief in whatever form may
be necessary, including a receiyership,
If deemed advisable.
The thirty companies composing the
sugar combine have an aggregate cap
italization of $230, 100000 and control a.
large percentage of the output of sugar
in this country. This combine is also,
the government alleged, able to fix
prices arbitrarily.
The petition charges that for years
the companies have vivolated the law
and suppressed competition and ground
rivals out of existence. Railroad re-
bates and customs frauds are mem
toned as devices which were employed
to raise the combine to the commando
ing position which it occupies today.
1t is estimated that the suit will be
in the courts two years before a final
adjudication is reached.
James M. Beck, general counsel of
the American Sugar Refining company,
made this statement:
SAYS IT'S NO MONOPOLY
"The companys reply to the various
charges will be seen when its formal
answer is filed in court. For the pres
ent it is sufficient to remind the nuh1ic
and the company's stockholders that
the supreme court has already declined,
in a similar proceeding by the govern
ment, to hold that this company was
an illegal monopoly under the Sher-
man law, and the court has deprecated
the challenging of the Justice of their
well considered and solemn Judgments
THE company has no monopoly in
the sugar industry; it produces no raw
sugar and does not and cannot control
the price of the raw material; 1t has
no agreements, direct or implied, with
other sugar companies, and is subject
daily to competition of the keenest
character.
"It has, including its beet sugar in
terests, about 81 per cent of the coun-
try's sugar trade, and it requires
liberal stretch of the imagination to
call this monopoly. 1t does not seek
to stif1e competition or oppress the con-
sumer by advancing the cost of a ne
cessity of life. It's refinery profits last
year averaged less than 1-6 of a cent
pound. During the last decade, when
the prices of nearly every necessity of
life have materially advanced and
when the cost of this company's labor
and supplies very largely increased, it
has continued to sell sugar at lower
margin of profit than formerly"

ILLINOIS IS THIRD
IN STATE CENSUS
New York and Pennsylvania Lead
While Ohio Falls Million
Below Rating I

WASHINGTON, Nov 28.-With a
population of 5,639, 591 and a gain in
the last ten years of 817,041, almost II
per cent, as shown by the announce
ment today of the result Of the recent
census, Illinois is assured continuance
as the third state of the Union. Only
New York and Pennsylvania outrank
her, while Ohio, which occupies fourth
place, falls almost a million below.
The increase in Illinois is somewhat
greater than that of any of the mid
die western states whose populations
so far have been announced. Mich
igan shows only a little over 16 per
cent, Missouri per cent, Indiana
something more than Z per cent, Kan
sas Is per cent, Ohio not quite 15 per
cent, and Iowa indicated loss.
Illinois, however, is outdistanced by
New York, Massachusetts, Connect1-
cut and Rhode Island.
The announcement for Illinois en-
phasizes the fact that the greatest
gains are in the cities. OF the 817041
additions to the population of that
state, 4S6,7QS were in Chicago alone,
and a study of the map of the state
shows that the principal counties in
which increases were indicated were
those containing cities of 10000 and
upward. Chicago is shown to have
about two-fifths of the states popula-
tion.
Forty-nine of the 102 counties of the
state showed decreases in population.
The state should gain at least four
if the proposed new ap-
portionment law should be based as
at present.

SUFFRACETTES WIN
BUT CAM 7 VOTE

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. 2S-Women
of the state of Washington 21 years of
age or over now have the right to vote
at all general or special elections. Late
today Governor NJ E. Hay issued his
proclamation putting in force the con-
stitutional amendment adopted by the
male voters at the election held No
vember 8.
Complete returns from all counties
were received by the secretary of state
today and promptly certified to by the
governor, who at once proclaimed the
result. The returns show the suffrage
amendment carried by q majority of
%, 623 votes, 52,299 votes having been
cast for and 29,676 against the PROPOSE
tion.
Although women now have the right
to vote they will be unable to partici-
pate in any elections until next year,
as the registration books have been
closed for the year, and the attorney
general has ruled that women who
registered prior to the issuance of the
governors proclamation are illegally
registered.
