The Dancer.

She dances like a dandelion,
Fluff upon the breeze.
AS gayly as a butterfly
And quite as much at ease.
And surely she was always meant
To fly upon her toes.
There never was another
That could go as Doris goes.
The flowers she is scattering
Are no lovelier than she.
They fall m yellow showers
AS she gayly sets them free.
And she beckons them TO follow
To the land where all is young,
Where a thousand sprites are singing
In the eeris faerie tongue.

CONSTABLES RAID
JAPANESE FISHERS
Fifteen Men Arrested on Charge of
Catching Fish for Sale Too
Close to outfaII
Sewer

A raid in a steam launch on a fleet
of Japanese fishing boats was made
by Constable Ed Rice and Deputy
Constable Jack Johnston yesterday
and fifteen men were arrested, charged
with violating the county fishing or
dinance by taking fish within one mile
of the Los Angeles outfall sewer. Six
Of the men were brought to Los An
geles in the forenoon and arraigned
before Justice Ling. They will plead
today.
Six others were brought to the city
last night and placed with their COM
panions in the county jail. They also
will appear in Justice Lings court to-
day. Three fishermen were left at the
fish camp to watch the boats.
Complaints that Japanese fishermen
have been taking large quantities of
fish from the waters near the opening
of the outfall sewer have been num-
erous recently and the demand that
something be done to prevent this work
became so insistent that the officers
were sent to Redondo early yesterday
morning. They boarded a launch for
the prohibited zone and stated on their
return to the city that many of the
Japanese arrested were as near as
possible to the mouth of the sewer.

GOVERNMENT READY TO
ASSIST LAND OWNERS
Stock Company May Be Formed for
Purpose of Bringing Water
to Imperial District

Ell CENTRIC, Jan. 2S.-Word has
lust been received from Secretary of
the Interior Ballinger that the gov
ernment stands ready to furnish water
to the land owners on the high land
east of the present Imperial valley
water system, provided the citizens
construct the necessary canal. Presi-
dent H. j. Messenger of the No. IL
Water company, organized to provide
water for these lands, is now endeav-
oring to reach all entrymen who have
holdings in the district referred to to
the end that a stock company can be
formed to raise funds for the work.
No. IL district is bounded on the
west by water company districts Nos.
and Z, under the present system.
All the land in No II is too high to
be reached by the canals built by the
California Development company. 1t
is now proposed to build a ditch from
the Laguna dam proposition at Yuma
to the high land. This will add at
least 10000 acres to the irTigable land
of the Imperial county.

ORPHEUM BUYS
INTO MAJESTIC
BECK AND HIS ASSOCIATES
MAKE DEAL WITH M0R0SC0
VAUDEVILLE LEADERS ADD TO
LOCAL STRENGTH
Policy of South Broadway Playhouse
Will Remain as Heretofore
with Same Manage
ment

The biggest local theatrical deal since
the Morosco- -Belasco merger was con-
summated yesterday, when a half in
terest in the Majestic theater, in Broad
way near Ninth street, was purchased
from oliver Morosco. the former lessee,
by NJ Meyerfeld, jr., of San Francisco,
Martin Beck of New York and Manager
Clarence Drown of the Orpheum.
The other half interest in the lease is
retained by Manager Morosco, who also
owns the Burbank theater, and the deal
obviously brings into closer friendly re-
lations interests which have been at
admitted amity on the local Rialto for
some years. Mr.. Beck is the head of
the Orpheum circuit, and Mr.. Meyer
field his closest adviser. Recent visits
of both to this city resulted in the COM
pletion of negotiations which it is un-
derstood have been pending for several
months.
The new management will be known
as the Majestic Theater and Realty
company. Mr.. Morosco remains as To-
cal manager of the Majestic, and it's
policy will continue unchanged, both
straight dramatic and musical attrac-
tions being booked.
1t is expected that through the new
alliance access may be. had to many
eastern offerings formerly not OBTAIN
able locally. During his recent visit to
Los Angeles Mr.. Beck admitted that he
had long had ambitions to enter the
Legitimate field. Close observers of
the dramatic world believe that his To-
cal venture, with Messrs. Meyerfeld
and Drown, is the beginning of many
acquisitions which will ultimately place
the present head of western vaudeville
in a position to compete with the older
eastern managers.
Neither Mr.. Morosco nor Mr.. Drown
was ready to speculate on this possible
phase of the purchase yesterday. The
| latter left last night for San Francisco
to discuss business matters with the
management of the Orpheum in that
city.

JAPANESE CHARGED WITH
VIOLATING NAVIGATION LAWS

SANTA MONICA, Jan. 2S.-Pedro
Mad.lo, deputy United States customs
inspector, today arrested number of
Japanese belonging to the colony of
fishermen at the long wharf on the
charge of violating the government
navigation laws. 1t is claimed the
Japanese have not equipped their
launches, used in fishing, with the
proper signals and lights required by
the regulations.
There are at least sixty launches
belonging to the Japanese in the local
fishing trade which helps to supply the
Los Angeles market. Madilla is said
to have had an eye upon the violators
of the law for some time and gave
them a chance to prepare the neces-
sary signals, but when they failed to
do so after a reasonable time, he
rounded them up. Joe Hanashuta, a
fisherman of Venice, was also taken
in by the government officers, on a
similar charge.

TROUBLE BREWING
AMONG DAUGHTERS
NORTHERN CHAPTERS WOULD
CHANGE CONVENTION
Southern Faction of Organization En-
pIoys Attorney to Protect
Rights of Los An
geIes

An effort to have the place of meet
ing of the state convention of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
changed from Los Angeles to Fresno
has stirred up trouble once more in
the ranks of the members. Southern
California chapters have employed an
attorney to protect them against what
is termed an unjust and Illegal action
on the part of some of the present
officers and the Northern California
chapters. petition asking that the
meeting place be changed has beon
circulated and has received the sup
port of all the northern chapters, ex-
cept Sierra and Sequoia, the latter the
largest and oldest in the state.
The meeting will be held February
IL Northern Daughters say Fresno is
better suited for the gathering on ac-
count of the difference in distance. Los
Angeles was decided upon as the meet
ing place last FebruarN and If the
meeting is taken away Nom Los An
geles there may be a break in the
society which will disrupt it in Cali
fornia. Trouble started in November,
when the state officers visited Los
Angeles. All was smoothed over at
that time and no more differences were
looked for until the circulation of the
petition started the row all over again.
Northern chapters are a unit in
desire for the reelection of Mrs.
Frederick Jewel Laird, state regent,
Southern chapters are supporting Mrs.
w. w. Stilson for the place. 1t is
believed that the fight for the state,
regency has precipitated the second
trouble. Mrs. Henry j. Martin, state
ond Miss Amalia O. Ca1liU.
historian, have withdrawn from the
contest for reelection owing to the
bitterness engendered by strife among
the Daughters.

Interested in Message

"There is one thing in Judge Works
recent message to the council which
deeply interested me, frequent visitor
to Los Angeles, and that is his refer
ence to the billboards," said man
from Tacoma, Wash, yesterday.
''I believe experience has taught the
boycott System is the only method
which can be used effectively to first
reduce and finally eradicate this nut-
sance. At least, as far as my personal
knowledge goes, that was the expert
ence of Tacoma.
''It may not be generally known that
Tacoma is practically billboardless
town. But it was not always so. we
had the hideous things lined up along
the most popular thoroughfares until
civic pride began to assert itself, and
this it did by vigorously appealing TO
the Tacoma business sense. 1t was
not necessary to resort to harsh meas
ures, as our people from the highest
to the lowest take much pride in our
environments.
'"The movement came at real psy-
Geological time. Five miles from the
heart of the citv is situated Point De-
fiance park, and at thi time 1t was IN
its first state of development and new
masses were under consideration by
the park board. But the street car
line on the way out there was bor-
dered on each side by billboards.
Sentiment Awakened
Sentiment was awakened, and the
citizens went after the patrons OF the
ugly things, and as soon as they were
able to rescind their contracts their
names were removed from the scenery.
THE greater part of the line commands
a fine view of Puget Sound, lies high,
so it Is easy to appreciate what the
removal of the billboards has meant.
No longer are delightful glimpses of
the sound punctuated with soap, medi-
cine and breakfast foods.
zone thing that Los Angeles prides
itself on is the beauty of its lnterurpan
drives, by trolley or vehicle. How
anything like the present situation has
heen permitted so long in a community
that brides itself on a leaning toward
the aesthetic is beyond my compre-
hension. You have not run into sub
urban sections that is not literally
Mastered with what is considered as
the most reprehensible form of adVer-
tising. And the worst part of 1t is
that local business men are lending
themselves to this marring of natural
beauties. | can see how foreigners,
national advertisers, can be so short
sighted; it means nothing to them SO
long as a name is impressed on the
public mind from one coast of the
country to another; but that your own
citizens should lend themselves to de-
preciating one of your real assets
well, 1 can't figure it out excepting as
gross thoughtlessness. I hope the note
Judge Works has sounded will bring
them to their senses, and that at the
very earliest they will cause to be re-
moved the rubbish that is no adver-
tisement excepting to their lack of
common sense and civic pride
