IT seems that there IS great deal Of
Bitterness IN Italy over the fact tina,
'MasoaEni and Puccini have both con
traeteA 20 glvo their new operas for th'
hrst time IN America instead Of In Italy,
as has always been the case. The news
papers are waging furious campaign
against both OF them and are threatening
all sorts OF reprisals when the operas,
''Ysobei" and THE Girl OF the Golden
West" are performed IN Rome during the
exposition next spring.
To try and smooth this trouble out so
far as Nfascagni is concerned Mr.. Ealph

under the Minister OF Fine Arts, and that
Official is now being appealed TO TO restrain
Maseasni from going TO America this
winter and giving his opera for the FIRST
time there.
1T seems that there is a law that pre-
vents any Italian subject from dlsposins
OF any important work Of art TO a forei gn

eminent. This law was drafted years ago
20 prevent impecunious italian noblemen
from selling their famous pictures 10 Pitts

Municipal Affairs
MAYOR PUZZLED OVER
CONSOLIDATION PLAN
Appointment of Delegates to Con-
slider City and County
Jointure Difficult

How to provide for the appointment
of delegates to the conference to dis
cuss city and county consolidation is a
matter that is puzzling Mayor Alex
ander.
"As a general rule the officials of
the various municipalities in the county
are opposed to consolidation" said the
mayor. Consolidation would reduce the
number of offices. and officeholders
naturally want more offices and not
fewer. If 1 invite councils or boards of
trustees to appoint delegates we will
have q conference in which the dele
gates will be opposed to consolidation
and can make little headway. If l in
vite delegates from civic organizations
that are known to favor consolidation
the opposition will at once raise the
cry of packed meeting
This is a matter that / must give
considerable thought to before I can
solve 1t, and suggestions along that line
will be gratefully received. At any
rate, it will be matter of weeks be-
fore such a conference can be ar
ranged"
The mayor is openly in favor of con-
solidation and has expressed hiahself
so in strong terms. He received a let
ter yesterday from A. r. Fraser of
Ocean Park congratulating him on his
stand in favor Of consolidation and Of
fering to use his influence or do any
work that the mayor might suggest to
bring about consolidation. Mr.. Fraser
is one of the largest property owners Of
Ocean Park.

AGED CLERK TELLS HOW
PAWNSHOP WAS LOOTED
Hearing of Men Charged with
Robbery Continued

Charged with the robbery of the
pawnshop of A. 1. Shapiro at 4O4 North
Main street on the morning of August
4. Peter Vorrath and Harry J. Nau
were taken before Police Judge Cham
bers yesterday forenoon for their pre-
liminary hearing, but because of the
mass of testimony and the many ar
ticles to be identified it was found i'm
possible to conclude the examination
yesterday and the hearing was con-
tinued until Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
X. 1. Perelson, the aged clerk who
was bound and gagged by the high
waymen, was the only witness called
during the session. He identified both
Nau and Vorrath, and related how
they entered the store and enticed
him to the rear of the store under the
pretence that Vorrath wished to buy
a suit of clothes for Nau. While per-
elson had his back turned they both
caught him by the neck from behind
and dragged him to a rear room in the
store, where they placed a gag in his
mouth, the witness testified.
The gag, a short piece of wood with
rope attached to each end, was iden-
titled by Perelson and introduced in
evidence over the objections of coun-
sci for the defendants.
A cash box and other property found
in the river bed and suit case and
quantity of jewelry found in Nau's
possession when he was arrested in
Chicago were identified by the witness.
While the authorities have been un-
able to secure Nau's record, they say
that. Vorrath served a term in an Illi-
nois reformatory for horse stealing
following conviction at Kankakee.

SUGGESTS BILLBOARD TO-
ADVERTISE LOS ANGELES

A publicity campaign to advertise
Los Angeles at a cost of about $25, 900
is suggested by Thomas H. B. Varney,
the Southern California billboard mag
nate, in letter to Mayor Alexander.
Mr.. Varney suggests that about 5000
Autographs 20x10 feet be printed, each
poster bearing one scene< typical of
Southern California. and that the
scenes be distributed in sets of five.
He suggests these be posted through
the United States and Canada, where
they will do the most good. He says he
is in position to make contracts with
billposting companies in various cities
throughout the country and that such
contracts would cost about $25, 900 for
printing and posting.
With Los Angeles making such strin-
gent billboard regulations the mayor
does not believe that such a course
would meet the approval of the coun-
ell, that would have to authorize the
expenditure, if it was done at the ex-
pense of the city.

EXHIBIT OF PURE FOOD
WILL EDUCATE PUBLIC
Elaborate Plans Made for Big
Display Tomorrow in Broad
way Department Store

On more elaborate plan than ever
the annual pure food show of the
Broadway Department store will open
tomorrow in the grocery department of
the establishment on the fourth floor,
and will continue for two weeks.
Because of the exposition the depart
ment had been redecorated, a Japanese
effect having been obtained in the spe-
cial woodwork installed and in the ar
rangements of the booths for the
various exhibitors. The color scheme
is white and green, the former pre-
dominating because of it's effect of
purity, and the latter appearing here
and there in deft touches. Many ad-
ditional electric lights have been fes-
tooned among the booths and across
the ceiling.
With such arrangements, which will
be enhanced by the display of tempt
ing foods, of which samples will be
offered freely, with young girls dressed
in white to serve and explain them,
the management confidently expects
the greatest success of the show. 1t
intends to test its long belief that an
exhibition of the kind will be appre-
ciated by Angelenos.
Among the exhibitors and their prod
ucts are the Genesee Pure Food COM
pany, Spanish-American products, Lip
toms tea and coffee. Fuller-Leighton-
Stratton company, Johnson-Carvel-
Murphy company, Curtis Olive Oil
company, Cudahy Packing company,

Not only will samples of various
prducts be given away but extra bar
gains will be offered during the show,

STOLEN JEWELRY FOUND,
BUT OWNER is MISSING

After search of sixteen months
among local pawnshops for jewelry
which was stolen from Pete Flynn, an
aqueduct laborer, near Mojave, on one
of his visits to this city, police de-
tectives have succeeded in locating the
valuables, but -.ow they cannot find
their owner.
Since May. 1909, when Flynn was as
saulted and robbed of the jewelry, the
detectives have kept tab on all jewelry
disposed of in the pawnshops. Day
after day and week after week they
made the rounds of the shops and
looked over the articles pawned, but
those which were stolen from Flynn
could not be found.
Several days ago Detectives Jones
and Boyd, while on their tour of the
pawnshops, ran across Flynn's jewelry
and Immediately took possession of it,
and took it to central police headquar-
ters, where it awaits it's owner.
A communication was sent to the
address left by Flynn when he reported
the theft but the letter was returned
uncalled for. Several attempts have
been made to locate him, but without
avail The detectives are desirous of
locating Flynn so that the property
may be identified and claimed.
