Day after day the groups of young
peope who are to take part in Pro
fessor Napoleon" forswear all minor
pleasures for the hours they must de-
vote to practice. AS a result they are
becoming proficient as dancers under
H. Wade Davis instruction, and their
voices are improving wonderfully un-
der It. Griffith's good coaching.
Every afternoon finds them busily
at work in groups of so or more. The
costumes have arrived and are being
fitted by competent dress makers, and
the necessary fans, parasols, buckets.
stools and other ornamental and useful
paraphernalia have been given to the
various groups. The result is that
the rehearsals are almost as picturesque
as the final performances VIII be. The
stage settings have arrived from New
York and are beautiful and unique. A
novel electrical display is one of the
features

DISSOLUTION SUIT

Bearing on Case f]

That negotiations between Hartman
officials and officials representing tho
United States government in the suic
instituted at Salt Lake City two years
ago for the dissolution of the so called
Hartman lines, are likely to be con-
cluded in a manner satisfactory. both
to the prosecution and to the railroad
men, is evidenced by the fact that E.
E. Calvin, vice president and general
manager of the Southern: G.. r. Rich

tiOn of the Southern Pacific, and sew
eral other Southern Pacific of1cials
who were to have started for New York
last Monday evening, are still in the
city and will not leave until instruc-
ttons have been received from New
York
1t is possible and even probable,
that Calvin will not leave San Fran
cisco at all. More than a month ago
n was rumored that the Hartman
lines would attempt to effect a disso-
luton before the final hearing of the
suit and the news from Washington
yesterday morning ito the effect that
Judge Robert S. Lovett. Harriman's
successor, had been in conference with
President Taft and that he had asked
the chief executive to drop the suit,

POLICEMEN TRY TO
SECURE GOOD JOBS
Offices Regarded as Plums
Make Members of Force

Candidates Appear Willing to
Become Property Clerk and
Clerk to Chief

Now that it is generally conceded
Martin will be the next chief of police
TO succeed Chief Cook, and that Cap
tain Henry Colby will be the next
captain of detectives. to succeed Cap
tain Anderson, speculation is rife as TO
who Will fill other Offices regarded as
plums.
One is the post of property clerk.
which Cook held when appointed chief.
The general expectation was that Cook
would be put back to the position of
property clerk, but it is believed that
Corporal Lewis c. Clark will be given
the job. His son, who is the head of
the Clark construction company, is very
close to the mayor. and it is said that
he spent his money freely in securing
the mayors election.
Another of the plums is the position
of clerk TO the chief of police, now held
by John j. OMeara. 1t is not a sine
cure by any means, but requires steady
application and thorough knowledge of
police business. O'Meara has given
every satisfaction and the only one
mentioned as anxious to supplant him
is Corporal P. n. Herlihy.
1t is said that since it became known
that Henry p Flannery was to be a
police commissioner Herlihy has been
constant visitor at Flannery's cafe
and has spent his money recklessly in
the expectation of getting Flannery' )
backing, No one takes his chance Sc
riously. 1t is expected that O'Meara
will continue to hold the job unless
the mayor has some friend in his
mind.

toast fingers.
Or try this plan. Have the rice rath-
er wet, and smooth it out in baking
fish with layers of cheese sliced very,
very thin at intervals and a busting OF
salt and pepper. Some think few
drops of onion juice dropped on each
layer an Improvement. Bake until II
browns, with cheese and little bread
crumbs on top and serve hot.
When other things fail at the crucial

will be fresh eggs in the house, and
these can be transformed into a very
acceptable luncheon dainty as egg
