CAFE OWNERS BRING
MUSICIANS TO COAST
Bio Restaurants in Pacific Cities Will
Provide Long Series of
Concerts

BY means of a combination formed
among the leading restaurateurs of
the Pacific coast, and embracing
Levy's in this city, this region is about
to enjoy what it is hoped will be a
long season of cafe entertainment of
the highest order, similar to that made
famous in Europe, but so far stran-
ger in this country owing to it's ex-
pense.
Such diversion for his patrons has
long been a desire on the part of AL
Levy, but the cost of importing high
class artists from the east has been
too great for him to share alone. Now
however. by the formation of a book
ing association among the big cafe
men of the north, including San Fran.
CISCO Seattle, Portland and other
cities, it is found possible to book ar
lists for several months and to divide
the railroad expense so that it is light
enough to be handled by even the
smallest cafe in the combination. The
result is that Mr.. Levy is enabled to
announce his opening bill for Monday
February IA, when he will present at
least five high class musical acts, with
a new and fine orchestra, and on a
special stage built and equipped for
the purpose.
1--WE have under contract through
our joint booking agent" said Mr..
Levy last night, 'a large list of the
best artists and singers who are in
this work. These we are bringing out
as fast as we need them and sending
them from one city to the other, COW
ering the entire coast"

SCENERY ARRIVES
FOR PASSION PLAY
Work. of Staging Big Production Keeps
Army of Men Busy-Cast of
Characters is AM
nounced

"If you know how to handle a piece
of scenery, there's work for you over
at the Auditorium
This was the tip the stage hands
were passing along yesterday. The
occasion was the arrival of the five
carloads of scenery for the Passion
play. Another carload is due today
and the storing of this great amount
of stage trappings has required the
work of a large force of men. The
costumes were sent to st. Joseph s
hall, where they are being assembled
by the wardrobe mistress, under the
direction of G. w. Freddy, who man
aged the play when it was produced
in San Francisco last October. The
dressing of the 900 people in the cast
is no small task in itself and it Will
take two or three days to attend to
this feature of putting on the great
production.
William Stoermer, manager of the
Passion play, went to Santa Barbara
Yesterday to consult with Rev. Peter
Huesges, o. +. NJ, of st. Anthonys S
college, who composed the music. He
returned for the rehearsal last night
Very satisfactory progress is being
made nv the members of the cast, who
are being coached by Frank Egan of
the Fgan- -MoroscO dramatic school.
No out-and-out professionals are to
take part, but most of those to whom
roles have been assigned have had
considerable experience on the stage,
so that there will be little danger of
anv amateurishness about the produc-
tion. Mr.. Stoermer, who is to portray
Christ, was chosen by the Franciscan
Fathers for the part. Miss Ethel
Stoddard is to be Mary MGgdalen and
Miss Helen Pancratia Johnston is to
play Mary Mother of Jesus. Martha
has been assigned to Mrs. M. G.
Gonzalez and Miss Myrtle Gonzalez
will appear as the Angel of Compass
sion. She will also sing one of the
solos.
BY the special permission of Faith
er Peter Wallischeck, o. F. M, head
provincial of his order Rev. Humilis
Weise of st. Josephs church is to
take part in the Passion play. He
will be the choragus, who delivers a
recitation before each tableau and act.
His will be the longest speaking part
in the drama.
Salome at the court of Herod will be
seen in the play, but she will not be
the Salome of the Strauss opera. Her
dance. with seven other maidens, Is
an Interpolation introduced to add life
and color to the picture of the luXur-
ious Herodian court. Miss Bessie
Small. a talented Los Angeles girl, Is
to have this part.

COMMISSION TO
PROBE TRANSFERS
LONGER RIDES FOR A NICKEL
MAY BE RESULT
PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD MAKES
INVESTIGATION
Believed That in Some Instances Rail-
way Companies Are Not Com
plying with Franchise
Rules

The public utilities commission be-
lieves that the public is not getting
it's moneys worth from the street rail-
way companies through the transfer
system now in force and has institut-
ed an investigation that probably will
result in giving persons a longer ride
for their nickels.
The commission further asserts that
citizens are not receiving all that the
law allows in the way of transfers and
that the railway companies will be
forced to grant transfers strictly in
accordance with the law.
Meyer Lissner, chairman of the COM
mission, said yesterday that man
had been sent out over the entire Los
Angeles transfer route who at the
completion of his inspection would
make a report to the commission.<The
inspector carries as a guide d book is
sued by the railway companies to their
conductors.
1--WE do not believe the public is re-
ceiving the full value of the carfare
charged them by the railway COM
panies." said Mr.. Lissner. "The COM
panies must comply with the terms of
the law by which they received their
franchises. If there exists a doubt
between the companies and the public
we are going to give the public the
benefit of that doubt. A thorough in
vestigation will be made, which is
likely to revolutionize the present
transfer system.
Nov that this investigation is un-
der way the commission would be
glad to hear from persons who have
been Inconvenience in transferring
from one point to another. We are
endeavoring to eliminate those incon-
veniences and to make things better
for the travelling public"

PHOENIX INVITES
LOCAL MERCHANTS
California Development Board of San
Francisco Proposes New Pub
licity Idea for Business
Men of the State

At the regular meeting of the board
of directors of the chamber of COM
merce held yesterday afternoon, j. H.
Latham of Phoenix, Ariz., invited the
chamber to run an excursion to Phoe-
niz February 10 in order that those
who so desire may witness the avia-
tion meet there. The matter was re-
ferred to the excursion committee and
it is possible they may act upon Mr.. La
tham's suggestion. The members were
notified to let the secretary know by
this evening whether they would make
the trip if a special train was en-
gagged and if a sufficient number signi-
fy their intention to go by this even
ing the train will be run.
A communication from San Francisco
stating that the promotion committee,
the state board of trade and the Manu-
facturerS association have all con-
solidated into one organization, to be
known as the California Development
board, was received. This new board,
the letter further stated, is develop
ing a plan by which all business men
of the state who send out literature
concerning their business, are to be
induced to include in this literature
one page advertising the state of Cali
fornia. They are also planning to have
firms who have an extensive eastern
correspondence put at the top of their
letter heads a sentence stating some
favorable fact in regard to the state
or a section OF it. The local chamber
w asked to aid in accomplishing these
two propositions. The standing COM
mittee on publications and statistics
was delegated TO investigate and report
back to the board.
The Railway association of special
agents requested the chamber of COM
merce to aid them in securing a hall
in which to hold their annual conven-
tion, which comes to this city May 10.
The board was also asked to take ac-
tion in an attempt to make payment
of postage in bulk by others than the
press permissible. This was referred to
the committee on mercantile affairs.
The Minnesota Gopher club extended
an invitation to the board to ATTEND a
picnic at Eastlake park February 19.
]. A. Klarquist, Charles H. Clark,

LEMON RATE WAR FAR
FROM A SETTLEMENT
Clash Between Growers and Transport
tation Companies Still on.
May Reach Agreement
in Spring

The lemon rate war between the
California Fruit Growers association
and the transcontinental freight 5u-
reau which has been going on for sew
eral months is no nearer a settlement
than ever, according to attorneys for
the fruit growers, who declare it will
not be finally disposed of until late in
the spring.
At present the Fruit Growers asso-
ciation has an injunction preventing
the freight bureau from raising the
rate ON lemons granted them in the
courts of this county. The latter have.
however, appealed to the circuit court
of appeals TO set aside this injunction,
and the hearing of this appeal will
take place in San Francisco February
10.
In the meanwhile the case OF the
growers association against the
freight carriers is before the inter-
state commerce commission, but as yes
no date has been set for the hearing of
it. Until the commission acts the
rates on lemons will depend. to a great
extent, on the decision of the court of
appeals.

plans for houses, cross-sections of intri-
