WILL TELL STORIES AND
SING SONGS OF DIXIE
Miss Louise A. Williams to Give Her
Charming Entertainment at
Y. M C. A. Auditorium

"Dixie Land in Story and Song" Civ
EN- in darky dialect and melody by
Miss Louise A. Williams, one OF the
south's own daughters from Georgia,
assisted by Mrs. C. Fletcher Quillian
and by the Y. NJ. c. A. male quartet,
will be presented under the auspices Of
the Young Mems Christian association
in it's auditorium, Hope, near Seventh
street, this evening.
Miss williams received an ovation
Saturday evening from a representative
and highly appreciatlve audience at the
Gamut club. She visited California two
seasons ago, to appear first upon the
Southern California Chautauqua plat
form at Long Beach. She gave her
"Evening in Dixie" before the Los An
geles and Robert e. Lee chapters OF tho
Daughters of the Confederacy, and af-
terward appeared in other large cities
of California.
Miss Williams comes from one OF the
souths oldest families, her father hav-
ing served in the Confederate army,
and she picked up her dialect and sto-
ries from incidents in real life among
the southern negroes. Raised in Geor-
gia, she is thoroughly acquainted with
the land of the watermelon, hoe cake
and hominy, ''pOssum and 'taters." Her
natural appreciation Of negro humor,
combined with a remarkable talent of
impersonation, enables her to re-create
in clever presentation the old-time
southern darky.

Amendments to the rules of the fire

mission is the plan C. o. Hawley, fire
commissioner, has arranged to get the
loan sharks from the backs of the fire.
men. This rule, with a number OF
other amendments, was submitted by
Mr.. HaWley to the fire commission at
meeting yesterday morning, and while
it was not adopted it probably will
be- A committee consisting of Com
missioner Hawley and Chiep Lips has
been appointed to revise the rules and
this will be among those the commit
tee will submit.
All the other commissions and the
board of public works will probably
adopt the same rule, and it is ex-
pected this Will effectually stop the
drains on the pay rolls made by the
usurers.
The first active step to get rid of
the fire department loan sharks was
taken yesterday morning when A. S.
Hamilton, a fireman attached to En-
gine Company No. II, signed for
NAL notice revoking the power of at
torney he had given to George l.. Ar
mold, who makes a business of loaning
money to city employees. Hamilton had
given Arnold power of attorney to col
lect his wages every month in pay
ment for a loan at usurious interest
which he had been forced to secure.
Hamilton's action was taken on the ad-
vice of his attorney, Robert G. Loucks,
and the revocation was signed in the
presence of the fire commission.
Investigate Loan Sharks
Hamilton's case started the investi-
cation into the control of the loan
sharks over the city employees. Ham
iton was injured slightly while work
ing around his engine house, but the
wound was so slight he paid no at
tetnion to it. A few days later blood
poison developed and he was forced
to stop work. He made no report of
the injury and another man was put
in his place until he could get well.
The substitute received Hamiltons sal
ary and the little that was coming to
him was collected by Arnold, who held
his power of attorney. Hamilton had
nothing left to pay his board bill and
he still is in debt to Arnold. The
money he still owes Arnold is accrued
interest at an usurious rate and the
fire commission does not feel he is
morally bound to pay it.
But Hamilton cannot return to work
for some weeks and in the meantime
he must eat. There is no fund in the
fire department from which he can be
paid and Commissioner HaWley will
go before the city council and ask
that money be appropriated to pay
Hamilton's salary for the time he has
been out OF work.
Hamilton originally got into the
clutches of the loan sharks because of
one of the rules of the department.
This rule compels a fireman to secure
his uniform within twenty days after
his employment. When a fireman is
employed the first of the month he
does not receive any pay until at least
thirty days after and If he is "broke"
is forced to go to a loan shark to get
the money to pay for his uniform. This
rule is to be amended so that the time
will be extended to thirty-flve days.

NEW WORK FOR JEWISH
WOMEN IS OUTLINED
Well Known Leader in Settlement
Labor in New York Speaks Be-
fore Los Angeles Chapter

The possibilities of settlement work
among the poorer class of Jewish peo-
ple in Los Angeles was put before the
members of the Los Angeles chapter,
Council of Jewish Women, at their
melting in the B'nai Birth temple yes
terday afternoon. Miss L. Robinowitz,
a former worker in the Henry street
settlement, New York, appeared before
the chapter and outlined the work
pursued In that city. Although moth
ing definite has been done so far, it is
possible that q similar settlement may
be established in Los Angeles.
Miss Robinowitz is a professional
nurse and has been working among
the poorer classes of her people several
years. She has succeeded in interest
ing a large number of nurses in the
work among the poor In New York, a
feat which prominent medical men
and sociological workers said was inn
possible. The Henry street settlement
is to New York what Jane Addams's
Hull house is to Chicago, and Miss
Robinowitz is at the head of it at
present.
Before the speaker of the afternoon
took the platform a short business
meeting was held. at which plans were
discussed for holding a tea FEBRUARY
10 at the Womans club house. Mrs.
1. II. Norton. accompanied by Mrs.
Leo Keller, rendered a vocal solo,
which was appreciated.

MEAT PRICES FORCE
BUlCHlR TO PRISON
Unable to Meet Check for Which Mo
Funds Were on Deposit, Former
Retailer Is Arr
rested

E. Eager, formerly a retail butcher,
who says he was forced out of busi-
ness by the increase in meat prices,
was arrested yesterday on q charge
of passing a check when he had no
funds in the bank to meet payment.
He was arraigned before Justice Pierce
and placed in the county jail under
bonds of $1,000 to await a preliminary
examination next Wednesday.
The complaint against Eager was
made by Charles Howland, collection
manager for the Southwestern Pack
ing company, and is the outcome of a
business transaction in November,
when Eager gave the packing company
a check for 5000 when he had only $lOO
in the bank on which the paper was
drawn. The packing company, 1t is
claimed by Eager, has held the check
since 1t was refused by the bank and
Eager has been trying to satisfy the
claim by paying SIS a week, while also
paying for new supplies of meat. AS
one increase in the wholesale price
followed another Eager said he found
it more difficult to carry on, his busi-
ness, and when notice of the last raise
was given a few days ago he was COM
PEELED to close up shop.
