CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
"The New York Idea," smart comedy
of modern society life, by Langdon Nit
che1l, in which Mrs. Fiske starred several
seasons ago, will be presented by the
Orpheum PLAYERS, at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, next week. This
play, it may be recalled, created a pro-
found impression in Philadelphia and in
New York, and its success will undoubted-
" be repeated during its coming produc-
ton. The author of the play is a we'll
known Philadelphia, prominent in
literary, as well as medical circles
throughout the country, and "The New
York Idea" is one of his best efforts.
In the original production were such
splendid artists as Mrs. Fiske, John
Mason, George Ar1iss, Marion Lea, George
Harcourt and William D. Mack. "The
New York Idea" deals with certain
phase of social life which always afford:
interesting material to the modern
dramatist The divorce problem figure:
prominently in the story, and the author
does not hesitate to show the ludicron.
side of this so-called social evil.
The action of the play occurs in New
York, and the characters are types of the
upper crust of society who are constantly
appearing in the lime light. The drama
in which they are made to figure, is alb
sorbing in its interest, and full of cleve
situations, brilliant dialogue, light cpl
grams and climaxes that occasion many
| surprises. There is also beautiful love
story, involving a couple who, though
divorced, find after brief period of sep
aration that they have made a mistake
and both admit that their love for one an
other is sufficiently strong to warran
another marriage. The Orpheum produc
ton of 1.-THE New York Idea" will be on
of the prettiest of the season. Tn

near Point Pleasant, opposite Byram, n.

from July to 81, inclusive,
Camping is an experience which every
live, full-blooded, growing boy longs for

Summer camping has helped solve this

influences which will not only cooperate
to give him good time, but will minister
to his physical, social and spiritual needs
and return him after a week or two, a
stronger and a more wholesome boy.
The Presbyterian Sunday school has
learned the secret of keeping the boys in
school. Under the proficient leadership
of Superintendent Robert A. Semple, Jr.,
one or more boys have been given week
or more at the camp with all expenses
paid. This year William Bridge, OF

and that the limit will be reached very
shortly. Yet there is room for few
more boys should applications be sent in
this week.
1t is interesting to know that during
the past three years, 10 boys have spent
part of their vacation at the County
Boys Camp, many of them returning fol
the second and third season. Since thu
opening of the camp over 80 boys hav'
learned to swim. Twenty two boys hav'

The following was taken from Pitts

"Altruistic individuals who hold the
idea that the declaration of independence

number of immature citizens of the great
republic, are hoping for change in the
method of rejoicing over the arrival of

justified that after the day is over there
will be less work for the surgeons and

was on May 6, when there arrived 116
cases of beer, one case of whiskey and

Municipal Affairs
FIGHT OVER BUDGET
DEVELOPS IN COUNCIL
Some of Members Favor Raising
Tax Rate from 85 to
86 Cents

The opening guns of what may de-
velop as a fight on the budgest when
it is presented to the council by the
budget committee, were fired yester-
day. by Councilman Whiffen, who vot-
ed against the SIS cent tax rate when
a resolution to fix that rate was pre-
scented at a special session of the coun-
Gil
The session was called for the ex-
press purpose of fixing the tax rate
so as to give the city clerk time, to
make out the necessary bills. But only
the resolution was passed and that by
five to one vote. Williams, Bet
kousd and O'Brien were not present.
The ordinance was not passed and
the city clerk refused to make out the
bills on the strength of the resolution
alone for should the tax rate be
changed the work would have to be
done over again.
There is a strong probability that
the opposing faction and the So cent
contingent may come together on an
Sc cents basis, for 1t will require that
rate if more than $4,000 is to be ex-
pended in constructing the proposed
annex to the city hall.
Whiffen and Betwouski want better
quarters in the new annex than the
one cent on the tax levy will provide
it. There are other members of the
council who would like to see more
money expended on the annex If there
is a possible way. to accomplish it and
they may side with the leaders of the
opposition.
The present budget committee is
hampered by precedent for the tax
rate last year was So cents and the
committee does not feel that it can in
crease this amount, although the de-
mands on the treasury are much great
er than they were last year. The as
sessment roll is increased, but the
growth of the city has made the de-
mands more than the increase.
The work of the city clerk has also
greatly increased. Last year there
were twenty-four books and four rates.
This>year there are thirty-five books
and eleven different tax rates.

SAN PEDRO CITY FERRY
LIKELY TO COST $4,000
Inspector Humphreys Has Estl-
mates on Boats and Service

Thirty thousand dollars is the esti-
mated cost of the municipal ferry at
San Pedro and Wilmington, accord
ing to figures secured by w. M.
Humphreys, chief inspector of public
works, and w. J. Washburn, chair
man of the budget committee of the
council, does not know where SO much
money is to be obtained.
The $4,000 will provide two ferry
boats of twenty passenger size and
maintain them for the fiscal year. 1t
will require two shifts of two men for
each ferry boat and the wages to be
paid these men is one of the largest
items. The boats can be constructed
for about $2500 each.
Mr.. Washburn would like to start the
municipal ferry business with one boat,
but it has been declared that one boat,
serving San Pedro, East San Pedro,
Wilmington and Terminal island,
would be but little better than none
at all as the service would be made
quate.
Some provision for the establishment
of the ferry will be made in this year 8
budget. 1t is intended to charge
fare that will merely cover the cost
of operating. The pre-consolidation
pledges say that the fare on the ferry
Humphreys plan to charge cents
from San Pedro to East San Pedro, 2
cents from East San Pedro to Terminal
island and 2 cents from Terminal is
land to Wilmington.
1t will be but a few months until
the 5 cent fare on the street cars be-
tween Wilmington and San Pedro will
go into effect and the travel then by
ferry will not be so heavy.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE WHEN
WIFE REFUSES TO RETURN
PIungeS Knife Into Breast in a
Frenzy of Grief

Because his wife refused to return
to their desert ranch and live with
him, but insisted on staying here,
Charles Temple, rancher from the
San Fernando valley, attempted to
end his life yesterday morning by
stabbing himself in the left breast
above the heart. The knife blade
struck a rib and was DETECTED, other
wise he would have succeeded in kill
ing himself. He will recover.
Temple came to Los Angeles from
the oil fields near Bakersfield, where
he had been working, Tuesday, to
persuade his wife to return to him.
Yesterday morning he went to 1920
Borel street, where he found the wom-
an and his four children. Temple
pleaded with her to return but in vain.
He then asked permission to kiss the
children before leaving. This was
granted and he kissed the youngest,
then plunged his pocket knife into
his breast.
The police ambulance was hurried
to the scene and Temple taken to the
receiving hospital and his wound
dressed.
In the hospital Temple explained
that he committed the act in a frenzy
of grief, when, as he kissed his child,
he realized that his family was be-
ing broken up and his children taken
from him. He expressed himself as
being very sorry that he attempted his
life.
Temple charges that o. L. Friel, who
is living at 1920 Borel street, is re-
sponsible for his wife coming from
Bakersfield to Los Angeles and for her
refusal to return home with him.
