H HE persons who had purchased
seats for the Tillie Koenen recital
Il last evening were notified that
although Miss Koenen had wired the
local management that she would
reach Los Angeles at o'clock Tuesday
morning, the distractions on the rail-
road made it impossible for her to
reach Los Angeles until this morning
on the Owl. The Koenen concert for
Tuesday night is changed to Satur-
day matinee and the tickets purchased
will be good at that time.
Miss Koenen's engagement with the
Symphony orchestra on Friday will be
carried out, as she will have plenty of
time to rest and rehearse with the or
chestra. Landslides and snowstorms
are playing havoc not only with the
engagements Of vocalists and instru-
mentalists, but the dramatic combina-
tions and baseball clubs are postpon-
ing their advertised dates as well.

PEELED to cancel both her Spokane and
Tacoma dates on account of landslides,

Miss Elvyn expects to reach here next
Sunday in plenty of time for her Tues
day concert and Miss Powell wires

DEPICTS HUMOROUS SIDE
OF ENGLISH LEGAL LIFE
Henry Latchford Delights Hollywood
Audience with Stories of Four
Inns of British Court

Henry Latchford, M. A., formerly
of the Inner Temple, Inns of Court
London, lectured last night at Holly
wood before the Current Events club
on his personal recollections of the
bench and bar Of England.
Mr.. Latchford gave running,
touch-and-go description of the four
Inns of Court-Inner Temple, Middle
Temple, Grays Inn and Lincolns Inn
where for nearly eight hundred years
the judges and barristers of England
have been educated.
The speaker dwelt with gusto on
the Indispensable process of eating
dinner for the bar" which, as he re-
marked, has already been treated by
the genius of Thackeray In the story
of Pendennis.
Varieties of men from all part Of the
British empire, of all races, creeds and
colors were presented in vivid and
amusing word pictures. Reference was
made to the historical association of
law and literature in the Inns of
Court, from the time of Chaucer to
the present day as illustrated by the
fact that Blackstone wrote his Com
mentaries" in a room adjoining that
of oliver Goldsmith, who was then
writing his Good Natured Man"
Mr.. Latchford left law to the law
yers In his address last evening, and
displayed q vast amount of human
interest in entertaining his listeners
with rapid and humorous sketches of
famous lawyers and men Of letters in
their frolics and hours of social relax
alton.

NEW ENGLANDERS MEET IN
0LD-FASHI0NED SESSION

The New England society of South
ern California held a meeting last
evening in Blanchard hall and elected
officers for the coming year. The af-
fair was in imitation of the old-fash-
ioned New England town meeting held
in Puritan times and the members of
the society had great fun in carrying
out their novel program.
Each member was given a chance to
make a three minute talk on whatever
topic suited and many took advantage
of this privilege. Judge Waldo M.
York was selected as official dog
catcher for the society and during his
three-minute talk moved that the
town" sell their automobile and pur-
chase an aeroplane for his exclusive
use. The board of road commissioners,
however, objected to this and the mat
ter was laid over until next years
town meeting"
Those elected to office were: Judge
C. ]. Noyes, president; DR.. w. A.
Lamb, vice president; H. A. Palmer,
second vice president; H. o. Wheeler,
secretary, and d. L. Durand, treasurer.
FRANKIE S. Forbes, DR.. w. A. Lamb,
Fred w. Fuller, DR.. Sherwin Gibbons
and Mrs. Ida S. Newbro were appoint
ed as delegates from the New England
society to the Federation of State So
cieties of Southern California.

Club News

TIME omen meeting of the Woman's
press club for March was held
- Yesterday afternoon in the ban
onet room of the Alexandria, a COM
many of over two hundred members
and guests being present to enjoy the
Mrs. David Chambers McCan, presi-
dent of the club, first introduced Dr'
Walter H. Nichols of MonroVia,
formerly professor of English IN the
University of Colorado, who gave
brief, but scholarly and interesting, 4,s"
discourse on "The Structure or the
Play" .,- :,
Drama, according to the speaker, is
in essence purely matter OF FORM
and must be constructed in obedience
to well defined laws of technique.
There is little literature on the SUD-
iect, but two authorities given were
Freytag, author of Technique OF the
Drama" and Price, who also wrote
hook with the above title, and second
called analysis of Play construction
and Dramatic Principles"
AS examples of the evolution OF
form. DR.. Nichols had prepared ana
distributed printed leaflets showing at
the head of the page paragraph IN
the form of a special telegram Whlch
told briefly the story and circumstance
OF murQeT. IIlS lilNluSiib "Ne
elaborated below into the scenario OF
tragedy in five acts.
The greater part of the program was
devoted to the Interpretation of Suder-
manns play, "Margot," by Lillian
Burkhardt Goldsmith, who lent the
music of her beautifully modulated
voice in turns to the commonplace, the
pathos, the passion of the despair
called forth by the action of the play,
holding her listeners spellbound.
The play is based on the world-old
circumstances of a girl betrayed,
whose conventional mother holds that
her daughters only possible restitution
to virtue and honor lies in marriage.
Margot's different point of view and
her individual solution of the problem,
also the opinion of the man who,
knowing her secret, seeks her in mar
riage, tell of the more righteous and
sane public sentiment that is making
for the moral uplift of this twentieth
century.
Following the program many of those
present gathered for tea in the grand
salon of the Alexandria. Among the
hostesses was Mrs. McCan, who en-
tertained Mrs. Goldsmith and DR.. and
Mrs. Nichols. Countess Wachmiester
also entertained friends.

WESTERN PACIFIC IS
DAMAGED BY FLOOD
Humboldt River Rises Above Previous
Record Marks and Does
Much Injury to
Ranches

RENO, New, March S.-Breaking all
previous records and coming with
suddenness that caused general alarm,
the Humboldt river last night rose two
feet above all former marks. The lower
part of Winnemucca is submerged, the
great bridge spanning the river at that
place Is threatened and the levee Is
now thought to be menaced. Great
property damage has been done, the
principal loser being the Western Pa
cific railroad.
The roadbed of that line is badly
damaged and in one place suddenly
sank into the water with a train Of
loaded cars.
Although the river is falling slightly
this afternoon there Is still great fear
that the levees and bridge at Winnie
mucca will go out. Watchers have
been posted at various points and all
possible effort is being made in prep
aration for still higher water.
Ranches between Winnemucca and
Battle Mountain have suffered much
damage and many head of cattle and
horses are reported to have been
drowned

Great Roar of Wind Only Warning of
Catastrophe, According to Trav-

In the Mountains
rAsaociated PressI

VANCOUVER, b. c., March s.-One
hundred and fifty persons who were
imprisoned on trains caught between
slides In Rogers pass reached Vancou-
yer today and gave accounts Of the
disaster of last Saturday morning. c.
G. Anderson, a commercial traveller Of
Toronto, said:
Picture an area twenty miles square
covered by millions of tons of snow,
half ice, and here, close to Rogers sta
tion, great trees and boulders torn up
and hurled down from the mountain
side into this canyon.
II saw the bodies of three white men
and several Japanese taken out cold
and stiff Every one of these men was
found in an upright position, with the
arms raised to the level of the shoul-
ders. The shovels were all thrown In
a heap. That showed how closely they
were working together, preparing the
way for the rotary The great roar of
the wind seemed to have been the one
warning signal"
DR.. Inglis of Montreal said:
early Saturday morning, after a
sleepless night. many of the passen-
gers trudged through a binding bliz-
Zard to the scene of the slide. We found
hundreds of men at work removing the
mass of wreckage underneath which
the victims were entombed Now and
then their efforts were rewarded by
the discovery of bodies. The frozen
hands of the dead were uplifted or
outstretched as if they had been at
tempting to shield their heads from the
force of hundreds of thousands of tons
of debris that descended upon them.
"The worst sights were witnessed in
a fifty-foot heap of wreckage piled on
top and alongside of an abandoned
snowshed forty or fifty feet from the
main line. The space between these
two tracks was heaped with snow, ice,
rocks, trees and stumps. After the
mild weather 1t froze into solid mass
"Seven or eight of the section men
working on the side of the slide es-
capped. although the wind that blew
with the fury of q cyclone carried them
in some instances fifty or sixty feet
"Lachance, the engineer of the ro-
tary, who was severely injured, said
he felt that he was being boiled alive
as he was lifted in his engine and car
ried through the air from the main
line to the top OF a snowshed nearly
fifty feet away. He landed under the
protecting shelter of huge fragment
of the rotary, and was enabled later to
crawl from underneath n covering of
snow and debris. He lay unconscious
there for several hours before he re-
allied what had happened"

Northern railroad as the result OF a
statement made, charging that road
with negligence.
AS soon as all the bodies have been
extricated from the avalanche debris
at wellington, Coroner James e.

FREE LUNCH AND TREATING
IN SALOONS MAY SOON END

Two amendments to the liquor ordi-
nance have been prepared by Judge
John D. Works, president OF the city
council, and yesterday he submitted
them to w. j. Washburn, chairman Of
the public welfare committee, for con-
sideration by that committee at it's
public meeting tonight.
One of the amendments would make
it a misdemeanor to treat" in a sa-
loon. Under it's terms everyone would
have to buy his own drinks and could
not buy them for another and another
could not buy for him.
The second amendment would dispose
of the free lunch feature maintained
in many saloons.

OIL COMPANY DENIES SUIT

Frank G.. Baker, secretary of the Big
Sespe Oil company, denied most EN-
phatically last evening that his COM
pany had filed suit against A. f.
Johns, manager of the company, and
w. E. Johns, late secretary. 1t was
reported yesterday that suit had been
filed making some ugly charges against
the two men and involving others, but
Mr.. Baker says the report is unfounded.
The only possible reason for such a
report being circulated, according to
Mr.. Baker, is that possibly H. H,
Francisco, president of the Big Sespe
company, might have filed suit in his
own name. If such thing was done,
however, it will be Mr.. Francisco's s
suit as a private individual and not as
president of the company, according to
Mr. Baker

MUST ARArE NUISANCE

Charles A. Alexander, the garbage
contractor, was notified by the board
of public works yesterday that he
must Immediately abate the nuisance
at his transfer point on Also street,
east of the river. The nuisance is
caused by transferring the garbage
from the wagons to f1atcars to be
hauled out of the city. By securing
duplicate beds for his garbage wagons
and transferring the garbage directly
in the wagon beds, the board believes
the disagreeable feature can be greatly
mitigated.
