RuShmOre would have called 1t a vul-
gar accomplishment, but the mag
nificent prima donna was too true a
musician, as we'll as a singer, not to
take pleasure in a sweet sound, even
If 1t were produced by a street-boy.
But as Mr.. Van Torp went On, she
opened her eyes cry wide and held
her breath. There was no mistake
about 1t; he was whistling long pieces
from "Parsifal," as far as it was pos
sible to convey an idea of such music
by such means. Margaret had studied
1t before coming to Bayreuth, in or
der to understand 1t better; she had
now already heard it once, and had
felt the greatest musical emotion Of
her life-one that had stirred other
emotions, too, strange ones quite
new to her.
She held her breath and listened,
and her eyes that had been wide open
in establishment, slowly closed again
in pleasure, and presently, when be
reached the Good Friday music. her
own matchless voice floated out with
her unconscious breath, in such per-
feet octaves with his high whistling
that at first he did not understand;
but when he did, the rough hard man
| shivered suddenly and steadied him
self against the window-sill, and
| Margaret's voice went on alone, with
| family breathed words and then
without them, following the instru.
mentation to the end of the scene,
| beyond what he had ever heard.
Then there was silence in the room,
| and neither of the two moved for
| some moments, but at last Van Torp
! turned, and came back.
Thank you," he said, in 4 low
voice.
Margaret smiled and passed her
hand over her eyes quickly, as II to
dispel a vision she had seen. Then
she spoke.
do you really not know what that
music is?" she asked. Really,
really?"
ooh, quite honestly I don't!"

thing but easy! Where in the world
did you learn it? Don't tell me that
those are old tunes you picked up
on a California ranch!"
Its true, all the same" Van Torp
answered.
He told her of the two foreigners
who used to whistle together in the
evenings, and how one was supposed
to have been shot and the other had
disappeared, no nj had known width
er, nor had cared.

ASKING Too Much.

The mother of little six-year-old
Mary had told her a number of times
not to hitch her sled to passing
sleighs, feeling that it was a danger
Gus practice. 1t was such a fascinat-
ing sport, however, that Mary could
not resist it and one day her mother
saw her go Swimming past the house
behind a farmers "bobs."
When she came in from play she
was taken to task, her mother saying
severely: MARY, haven't / told you
that you must not hitch onto hobs?

Mary tossed her head. "Oh," she

CELEBRATE OPENING Of
LINE TO OWENS RIVER
Valley Residents Hold Festivities
to Mark Completion of
Railroad Branch

The completion and opening of the
Southern Pacifics new line from
Mojave to Lone Pine, in the Owens
river valley, was celebrated by cltl-
zens of the valley yesterday at Lone
Pine the day being given over to fes-
tiVities in honor of the event. An
old fashioned barbecue at noon;
speeches by General Superintendent
Platt of the Southern Pacific, Assist
ant General Passenger Agent I. A.
Graham of the came company, ]. b.
Lippincott, representing the Los An
geies aqueduct, and a number of the
most prominent citizens of the valley;
a roping and tying contest between
Indians and cowboys; and wild horse
riding followed during the afternoon.
During the evening a grand ball was
given in the town hall, followed by
a display of fireworks. which com
pleted the days program.
The sentiment expressed by several
of the speakers from Los Angeles was
to the effect that the success and
prosperity of the valley depended
largely upon the establishment Of
friendly relations with this city. Lo-
cal speakers expressed themselves as
realizing this, and maintained that on
their part such relations were in eX-
istence. AS an instance of what the
road has accomplished in the valley
it was stated yesterday that land val
ues have doubled during the past year
as a. result of the approach of means
of rail communication with Los An
geles.
That the new road will open up to
the commerce of Southern California
one of the richest agricultural and
mineral sections of the state was the
statement made yesterday by James
r. II. Wagner, a Los Angeles business
man who has extensive interests In
the valley.
Until the line was completed, the
valley with it's abundant water supply
and fertile soil was one of the most
isolated sections in the United States.
With the new line in operation it is
within ten hours of Los Angeles by
raj, and this city will be the dis
tributing point for the large crops OF
apples, corn, potatoes, onions, grapes,
berries, pears, garden truck and honey,
in the production of which the valley
is making great strides.
The new road connects the branch
running out Of Mojave to Olancha with
Owenyo and Lone Pine the terminus
of the narrow gauge road from Hazen,
Nev. Hitherto, by using the narrow
gauge. only goods which would stand
a long shipment could be exported
from the valley and for this reason all
perishable freight was excluded. With
the new line, however nearly every
commodity raised in the valley can be
sent to Los Angeles.
The regular operation of trains over
the new line was commenced yesterday
morning.

LIFE IS TAKEN FOR A
SMALL PIECE OF LAND

AS a result of a dispute over the
division of a small piece of property,
John Stacei of 1922 Darwin avenue
was shot to death in his home last
night. Pete Carbonne, who recently
came to Los Angeles from San Fran
cisco, is a prisoner in the county Jail,
charged with murder.
1t seems that Carbonne and Stacei
purchased several acres of land some
time ago and have been quarreling
about their holdings since that time.
Last night Carbonne visited the
home Of Stacei and while they were
discussing the matter in the kitchen
Stacei, it is alleged drew a revolver
and fired two shots at Carbonne. The
latter, according to his statement,
grappled with Stacei. In the struggle
Carbonne seized the revolver and was
about to wrest it from the grip of
Stacei when the weapon was dis
charged and the bullet struck the lat
ter in the neck, severing the jugular
vein.
Deputy Constable Corneau, who is
employed as a watchman at the Maier
Brewing company, heard the shots and
ran over and placed Carbonne under
arrest.
Detectives Cowan and Ingram were
detailed on the case after the matter
was reported to the police. The dep
uty constable refused to turn over the
prisoner. to them and the detectives
withdrew from the case in his favor.
The officers were unable to locate the
revolver with which the shooting was
done.

The Theaters

If James Mccormack, who, with
Eleanor Irving, is one of the best fea-
lures of the new bill at the Los An
geles. could not talk so well he surely
would be taken for the well-known
Billy CASTOR, for in manner, method,
appearance and cleverness Mr.. NC
Cormack is a double" for this we'll
known comedian. Mccormack and
irving have one of the brightest Of
ferings that has been seen at the Los
Angeles theater in their Laughing,
singing and dancing skit, "Flirtology.
Both have personality, stage presence
and a light, airy, natural manner that
always delights an audience. Mr.. NC
Cormack wins much applause with his
catchy song, Foolish Questions"
while Miss Irving has big voice and
understands how to use 1t. They are
both nimble dancers.
The Free Settlers Four is a quartet
of splendid voices, who offer an act
far away from the beaten trail usually
pursued by acts of this character.
While their numbers are all rendered
with high degree OF excellence, their
rather novel manner of presenting
them is partly responsible for their
hit They are all masters of harmony,
while one of their number is master
of fun. This is the colored chauffeur,
who causes a giggle every time he
moves, and who has a method of eX-
tracing laughs all his own. His sing
ing of the chinatown Rag" wins him
much applause. The act is full of good
comedy and we'll worth seeing.
Bockman and Gross, "The Merry
Maidens," are sprightly and pretty
maidens offering a series of character
songs, light, graceful dances, and dis
play several changes of natty cos
tunes. Mile. Olive, the French Jug
Cling artistic, is skillful juggler. who
works in a rapid manner every minute
she is on the stage. A clown assistant
supplies considerable humor. Maxwell
and Dudley are entertaining and mu-
sical in Will M. Cressey's song skit,
1.-THE Singing Lesson" and Bell and
Richards, the melodious novelsts, pro-
duce real music of every variety on
score of odd instruments. Completing
the new bill, which is enjoyable, is
film of amusing motion pictures.

CALIFORNIA NOW
TOURISTS MECCA
1850 CoIoniSts Come to Land of
Sunshine Daily Over the
Salt Lake Route
BREAK PREVIOUS RECORDS
End of Cheap Rates on Oct. is
Marks High Tide of the
Westward Rush

Colonists have been coming to Cali
fornia at the rate of 1850 a day on the
Salt Lake railroad alone, according
to the traffic report received yester-
day by 7. c. Peck. general passenger
agent for that route This breaks all
previous records for daily travel on
any one line into Southern California.
1t is believed that even this record
will be shattered by the Santa Fe rail-
road when it's reports are in, as it has
one more overland train arriving each
day than the Clark road.
Just what the Southern Pacific s
daily arrivals will amount to is con-
lecture at present, but owing to the
fact that that road has seven trains
on which tourists are accommodated
arriving every day, the figure will be
large, according to traffic officials.
1t is believed that fully $4,000 colo
nists and tourists arrived in Southern
California during the period mem
toned, it being the last days of the
annual low rates west. So crowded
are the trains that passenger agents
and traffic managers on both the SAN
ia Fe and Salt Lake lines are in a
quandary as to how TO handle them.
The Salt Lake is badly tied up at
Salt Lake City, where 1t was stated
yesterday, the tourists are arriving in
crowds over the Denver q RIO Granue
and Union Pacific. expecting to con-
tinue their way to Los Angeles via
the Salt Lake. The road has run out
of diners to accommodate the trains
and every bit of rolling stock at the
command of the road in which pas
sengers can be hauled is being pressed
into service.
The Santa Fe is also having troubles
of its own, it is reported, the absence
of sufficient motive power on the d.
vision out of Albuquerque hindering
the rapid transportation of the colo
nists.
1t is believed that the greatest rush
will come today, when hundreds who
left Chicago on October 10, the last
day of low rates, are TO arrive. 1t is
believed that a new daily record VIII
be set with today's arrivals.

MAUS WANTS GREATER GULF
BETWEEN OFFICER AND MAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Brig. Gen.
Maus, commanding the department of
the Columbia, in his annual report to
the war department, recommends legis-
lation for the elimination of inefficient
officers. He expresses the belief that
a general service corps would add
greatly to the efficiency of the army,
and in the end actually prove econ
omical.
Gen. Maus also recommends that as
far as practicable greater distinction
be made between on-commissioned
officers and privates generally through
ont the service, and that privates be
divided into first and second classes.

NUN DRIVES MAD DOG TO
COVER; CHILDREN ESCAPE

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-A mad bulldog
caused a panic among the forty chill
dren in a classroom at st. Bridget's
parochiaI school yesterday. The dog
ran through the aisles, foam dripping
from its Jaws, and the children has
tily climbed on their desks.
AS the animal came toward Sister
Josephine, in charge of the room, she
faced him and drove him under her
desk. where he remained yelping and
growing until the last child had es-
capped from the room.
When a patrolman arrived the dog
was in the worst stages Of rabies, dash
ing about the room and biting at the
seats. The officer drove the dog into
the yard, where he shot it.

INCREASE
IN FIRE FIGHTERS
Mayor Recommends Addition of
2 Lieutenants and 10
Men to Department
MONEY is ALREADY PROVIDED
CITY Executive Points Out DAN
uerous Condition in Con-
geSted Districts

Two lieutenants and fifteen firemen
can be added to the fire department
without additional cost, according TO
figures submitted to the council yes
terday by Mayor Alexander. The
money to pay the additional men has
been appropriated in the budget ana
was to have been used to pay the
members of engine companies % and
"a. but there was a long delay in put
ting these companies in commission,
and a portion of it was not used. The
mayor explains this matter in the fol-
lowing message:
"At the present time a fire company
in the congested district consists of
but ten men. Each man is entitled
to one day off eacn week and to four
teen days vacation during each year.
Thus during the greater part of each
week there are but eight men on duty.
Each man is entitled to one hour off
each meal Dividing eight men into
three shifts at meal time three times
a day means that Tor two hours each
meal time, or six hours each day, there
can be but five men on duty. This
provides a fireman, a stoker, a driver
and two hosemen, which is sufficient
in the residence districts, where the
buildings are not high. With but two
hosemen only one line of hose can be
handled and 1t would be very slow
work for two men to carry one line OF
hose to any height. This is danger
Gus condition in the congested district.
Moreover 1t would be necessary at
times. with so few men, to shut off the
water and use the engine crew to help
raise ladders or to help man the life
nets.
APPROPRIATION MADE
"Fifteen more men and two more
Iieutenants can be provided for the
congested district without increasing
the appropriation already made for the
fire department for this fiscal year, in
the following way:
The amount saved to date In the
salary fund of the fire depart
ment by reason of the delay in
going into commission OF engine

"This will leave an uneXpended bal
ance in the salary fund of the f1re de"
partment for this fiscal year of $50.
believing it to be for the best in
terests of the city 1 would strongly
recommend that your honorable body
provide fifteen more men and two more

The matter was referred to the sup
ply and finance committees.
