COUNTY ABANDONS
FILL At ARROYO
Supervisors Order Plans for Con-
crete Bridge from Garvanza
to South Pasadena

The board of supervisors yesterday
instructed the county surveyor to
draw up plans for a six-arch concrete
bridge over the Arroyo Seco from
Garvanza to South Pasadena, signi-
flying that the earth fill originally
planned will be abandoned in favor OF
the new structure wanted by citizens
living in that vicinity
The board was informed by R. w
Pridham, supervisor from the Fifth
district, that the city of South Pas
adena, the city and county of Los
Angeles and the Salt Lake railroad,
all interested in the building of the
bridge, had agreed to the new plan.
They agreed, Pridham said, with the
understanding that the new bridge
would not cost more than $144,0OO.
Bids were opened for grading por-
tion of Central avenue and Glendale
road ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 for
the grading and from $1.35 to $1.S5 a
ton for the road work on Central ave-
nue..
Three bids for grading only, rang
ing from $13,SS3.23 to $4,000, were re-
ceived for the La Canada road. These
were taken under advisement.
Because the former bids were too
high, bids were ordered readvertiseo
for the San Dimas section of the Co
vina-Lordsburg road.

statistician, covering the range of in
dustries in the county, including agrl,

ed the commission to look into the
prices of a suitable automobile.
Representatives from Pasadena ap-
peared before the board yesterday and
requested that the arch gate at Devil s
bridge be removed, as it was a men
ace to the travelling public. A COM
munication was received from the
county surveyor stating that the old
steel bridge crossing the Arroyo Seco
at DEVILS gate on the La Canada road
was unsafe for heavy traffic and ad-
vised replacing the bridge with a
concrete arch and strengthening the
floor. The matter was referred to the
bridge commission and the surveyor.

sented to continue as a member of the
board of trustees of the association.
A letter from him advising Secretary

"It has been my fixed intention to
insist upon retiring from this office be-
cause l felt that after long years of
service therein was entitled to be re-
lieved of it's duties and responsibilities.
IT beg to notify you that l will ac-

PIONEER, IS DEAD
Man Long Prominent in Business
Affairs of City Called
by Death
REALTY HOLDINGS LARGE
Capitalist Was Well Known in
Mining and Financial Cir
CIes of Los Angeles

Henry John Woollacott, for thirty
five years one of the most prominent
business men of Los Angeles and
widely known throughout the state
died at his home, 1115 South Alvarado
street, after an illness extending over
a month The immediate cause of death
was heart trouble. For years he had
been known as one of the heaviest tax
payers in Los Angeles.
Mr. Woollacott was born in Salt Lake
City in 1858, and in 1875 came to Los
Angeles. Wholesale mercantile bust
ness was entered into by Mr. Woolla-
colt when he came to Los Angeles, and
he was engaged in 1t for the first fif-
teen years of his residence here. AT
the end of that time he became presi-
dent of the State Loan and Trust COM
pany, which was later known as the
State Bank and Trust company, re-
naming at the head of this institution
until 1906, when it was cosolidated with
the Central National bank.
At the consolidation of these banking
interests Mr.. Woollacott retired from
the active banking business and de-
voted his time to his large private in
terests, occupying an office with his
son, A. H. Woollacott, In the Lanker-
SHIN building.
Aside from his heavy real estate
holdings, Mr.. Woollacott was largely
interested in several mining and indus
trial corporations.
Mr.. Woollacott was actively inter-
ested in the upbuilding of Los Angeles
and was always prominent in the well
fare of the city. 1t was he who erected
the first brick building south of First
street, which still stands and now ad-
joins the Douglas block, on the north
at the corner of Third and Spring
streets.
Aside from his business relations,
where he was considered one of the
leading business men of Southern Cali
fornia, Mr.. Woollacott was also well
known in club and social circles. He
was one of the organizing members of
the Jonathan, Concordia and California
clubs and was member OF the Elks,
the thirty second degree of Masons and
a Shriner
Mr.. WoolIacott is survived by his
wife two sons and a daughter, James
S. and A. H. Woollacott and Miss Mar
garget Woollacott.
Funeral arrangements will not be
completed until today, awaiting word

THREE TWINS AT MASON
ARE AS LIVELY AS EVER

If all twins were like the three
who are performing at the Mason opera
house this week the audiences would
not object if they were seXtet, II the
manual appreciation of the small but
cordial one of last night may be taken
as a criterion.
AS 1.-The Three Twins" have been to
Los Angeles before there is no oc-
casion now to vivisect them. Vivisect
is the word, for 1.-The Three Twins
is full of life from first to last, even
if there is only one really good voice
in the company.
Victor Morley is the most energeti-
cally mischievous-in fact, the only
genuine mischievous one of the twins
and he supplies enough laughs to please
those who believe that vocal cachlna-
tions increase the avordupois. A good
light comedian, a clever dancer and an
adept in the use of burlesque, which
he employs more in a rapier than
broadsword fashion, he is the most
satisfactory "twin."
Bessie Clifford flutters through the
performance and twitters through the
''Yama-Yama Man. with the deft
touches of feminine humor and agile
feet that have made the turn what 1t
is. She and Morley perform 1.-THE
Hypnotic Kiss55 in bizarre manner
which is sufficient cause for its nav
ing been written.
Minnie Allen, who plays Kate Armi-
tage, is the possessor of the best voice
in the company. She sings the ever
popular "Cuddle Up Little Closer,
I,oyey Mine" to the tune of several
encores and pleases with her general
appearance. Edward Wade, as Cen
eral Stanhope the martyr of dyspep-
sia, and Helen Du sBois, as Mrs. DICK
Winters, a cheerful weeper, do anus
ing character work.
A chorus of svelte feshings, bur
lesuue on mommoth headgear and other
novelties please the eye most OF the
time and the ear frequently Whlle on
the stage and the "faceograph," while
not marvellous" as it is alleged to be
proves itself highly diverting never
