SENTENCED TO MAKE
CHARITY CONTRIBUTION
Mayor Alexander Suggests Middle
Course in Dealing with Livery
Men Found Guilty

A contribution to the Associated
Charities will save the license of Lat
terman & Pickett, who conduct liv-
cry stable at SS3 East Second street
This was the decree of the police COM
mission last night, made at the sug-
gestion Of Mayor Alexander. 1t is in
the nature of a fine, and is as close to
such a punishment as the commission
can inflict for violation of laws. Lat
terman & Pickett We're delighted to
get off so easily, as their license had
been revoked before the mayor had
his happy thought.
The livery stable proprietors were
accused of renting a room in their
stable to Chinese who conducted a
lottery game. They pleaded ignorance
of what the Chinese We're doing, and
the commission was convinced they
did not know gambling was going on,
but considered that Latterman, who
was around the place all the time,
should have known and that he was
culpable because he did not
While the refusal of the right to do
business appeared to be harsh pun
ishment the commission has no middle
course and reluctantly revoked the
permit. Pickett told the commission
that the action meant their absolute
ruin and that Latterman, who is 65
years old, and he would have to walk
out of town.
The mayor said that he had heard
Pickett had a good reputation, ana
he did not like to bear down so hard,
as it seemed unnecessary. Then the
mayor had his happy thought and the
contribution to the Associated Chart
ties was accepted as medium.

ORPHEUM CIRCUIT LENDS BRAINS
TO ACTORS, SAYS MARTIN BECK

ESN VERYBODY wants to sell out
H. said Martin Beck yesterday,
- when asked how soon he ex-
pected to abandon vaudeville for the
Legitimate" as per a pestilential New
York rumor. Some time ago I
thought of it, but just now l am too
busy giving the people what they are
going to want to think for a moment
of quitting the most interesting game
in the world. 1 find my greatest sat
isfaction in improving the quality Of
entertainment afforded throughout the
Orpheum circuit, and in my producing
department whereby author and ae-
tor are brought together, with no fee
attached, and where anyone with an
idea or a novelty for vaudeville will
meet ready appreciation"
Mr.. Beck admitted that certain
eastern vaudeville interests were prone
to regard very jealousy the progress
of the Orpheum circuit on the coast,
but declared that, officially speaking,
it's relations with the New York links
of United Booking offices were placed.
ITO instill thinking power into ac-
tors who have no time to Think said
he. ais the aim and intention of our
producing bureau. Without it a great
number of players would drift out of
high class vaudeville into the smaller
theaters. We furnish them the brains
to keep at the top.
''The dramatic sketch will live in
vaudeville because it affords a chance
for originality by it's elasticity of con-
struction. Many actors in the legiti-
mate fall into as true a rut as do
some of our acrobats in vaudeville We
intend to preserve the features of the
old variety, so far as possible. The
one thing we do intend to frown upon
is the suggestive. Our theaters must
be kept clean and inviting for the

A. B. Lowman, an oil driller, who
arrived in Los Angeles from Bakers
