FLEMING TO HELP
PUSH HARBOR WORK
Secretary of Commission Leaves for
Washington in Interest of
Pacific Coast Ship
ping

Secretary A. P. Fleming Of the harbor
commission will leave this morning for
Washington, d. c., to confer with SEN
ator Flint and Representative McLach-
Ian of California in regard to the har-
Dor interests of Southern California.
although both Mr.. Flint and Mr..
McLachlan have the matter well in
hand" said Secretary Fleming yester-
day afternoon, "they believe that my
testimony will carry some weight with
the committee on commerce, and want
me on the ground"
Mr.. Fleming yesterday received a
copy of Senator Flint's steamship bill,
which, If passed, will establish a gov
ernment line of steamers on the Pacific
coast connecting with the Panama ca
nal.
LOS Angeles must be made a port of
call for vessels passing from the At
lantic to the Orient after the Panama
canal has been completed" said Secre-
tary Fleming Moreover, our railroad
rates on the coast are exorbitant, and
fair competition would accomplish what
the interstate commerce commission
has been unable to bring about toward
reducing them. A line which would
give us weekly service is what is
wanted"
The bill comes up for hearing Feb
ruary 10, and before then Secretary
Fleming will have placed the position
of Los Angeles before the committees.
Another bill also is pending which
plans for an expenditure Of about $780,
900 on Los Angeles harbor. 1t is be-
lieved that an annual rivers and har-
bors bill will provide for this hereafter,
and that the present appropriation, if
allowed. will serve to begin improve
ments which must be continued.
Although Secretary Flcming's trip to
washington was authorized several
days ago by the harbor commission, it
was not given out that he would leave
until yesterday. He will be gone about
two weeks

YOUTHFUL AERONAUT
HURT BY HIS TOY
TweIve=Year.OId Lad Tries to Emu

the Receiving Hos
plta

Arthur North. 12 years old, 1865 West
First street, is firmly convinced that
he cannot be a second Paulhan-at
least that was what he stated at the
receiving hospital last night after his
experience with a toy aeroplane.
Young North forgot to follow the In
structions as to how to fly the ma
chine, and the spiral coil which is sup
posed to send the flying machine into
the air worked before he anticipated.
The boy forgot to get out of the way
and the aeroplane was buffeted by an
unfavorable wind and landed against
his face.
The force of the shock rendered him
unconscious, and at the receiving hos
pital it was found that he had suf-
fered a two-inch laceration on the
right side of the head extending to the
eye.
Police surgeons stated that it was
fortunate that the flying machine did
not strike him in the eye, as it would
have resulted An the loss of the sight
Of one eye.

FOUND WANDERING
in FINE ATTIRE
Constable Finds $156 in Cash in Pock-
cts of Man Who Only De-
manded "Another
Joy Ride"

Wandering aimlessly, APPARENTLY q
victim of insanity, and with jewelry
and cash in his possession amounting
to nearly $1,000, ]. D. Drinkall, a sales
man for one of the largest furniture
houses in Portland, Ore, was found
late yesterday afternoon near Dodge
vile.
The strange actions and incoherent
talk of Drinkall attracted the atten-
ton of a number of persons of Dodge
vile. and as he was unable to account
for his presence, Constable Ben Parker
of Alhambra was notified. pending
the arrival of Parker the demented
man was detained in store near the
Dolgevilel station.
Constable Parker, after questioning
the man, decided it was case for the
county and Drinkall was taken to the
county Jail.
Despite repeated questions, Drinkall
was unable to give a satisfactory ac-
count of his wanderings and his mind
apparently was blank. He could not
tell his name, where he came FROM
or how he happened to be roaming
near Dolgeville.
To all questions he declared that he
wanted to go for an automobile ride
and demanded that an auto be en-
gagged. From letters and papers found
in his possession it was learned that
his name was Drinkall, and memo
randum of sales showed that he had
been employed recently by a furniture
concern in Portland.
Ddinkall is apparently about 52 years
old, fashionably dressed and has all
the appearance of a man of wealth.
In his pocketbook was $156 in cash,
and he wore a gold watch, diamond
ring and two valuable scarf pins, the
value of the jewelry being estimated
at $500.
Although his talk was irrational,
Drinkall was not violent, and his case
puzzled the attendants at the county
iail. His one subject of talk was of
automobiles, and he begged that he
be allowed to take a 'joy ride"
Attendants at the county jail be-
lieve that the man was the victim of
an accident, possibly an automobile
accident. which rendered his mind
blank. AS it was feared that he might
become violent and attempt to escape,
it was decided to keep him at the
county Jail last night, and telegraphic
dispatches were forwarded to Port
land in hope of locating his relatives.
Drinkall is evidently an Englishman,
of polished appearance, and his con-
versation, although incoherent, is in
dicative of a high education.

Add to Three=Nlght
Tableaux

The management of the Passion
play. which will be given in Temple
auditorium March 13, promises that it
will be one of the most impressive
spectacles ever given in Los Angeles.
George w. Freddy, a San Francisco
artist of wide reputation, is in charge
OF the arrangements for the play, and
he has secured a cast of excellent
players.
The scenery was painted by Maxwell
S. Alexander of London, with the as
sistance of a staff of fifteen artists
from sketches and paintings made In
the holy land. The costumes are the
most gorgeous and elaborate OBTAIN
able. For trimmings alone, consisting
in the main of ornamental emprold-
cry, more than 5000 yards of cloth was
required. Fringe, jewels, armor, wea-
pons and accessories were imported
from Europe, and 400 pairs of sandals
were made in New York.
The proceeds from the play Will be
used in the restoration of the mis-
sions of California. The completed
drama will require three nights, two
presentations being given during the
week. The action will take place on
a triple stage, by an arrangement OF
two smaller arches at the sides. In
stead of the usual drop a large parting
curtain of velvet will be used. The
tableaux preceding each act and ex-
employing the prophecies Of the old
testament are shown in these side
stages. which are cleared away while
the curtain is closed for the main ac-
tion of the play.

play is sustained by the choragus, who

whether the wholesaler is demanding

Dear little Men and Little Women: When
my father came home from Florida last
spring ne brought with him two large air
plants. They are very large and look much
like pineapples. but much longer. After
having them few months they began to
open, and TO our amazement we saw lit
tie tree frog in each. They were still asleep,
but we awakened them. They rolled their
eyes a few minutes and gazed around them
Ny father took a straw from the broom and
stuck a fly on it He then put ii few
inches over their heads One made no ef-
fort to catch it: and he set ii over the
other frogs head. This one gave a leap
and caught the fly in its mouth. After eat
ing it he rolled his eyes. To make the other
one eat we set a fly under his chin. After
eating il he was as much pleased to jump
for the flies as the other one was We de-
cided to call the frogs TriXie and Dixie.
Every morning they waited in their queer
little houses for one of US to throw in a
few flies. They always stayed in the little
house and sat gazing at the top OF the air

rabbit jumped quite off the ground IN his
astonishment and, to Polly's amazement.
began TO grow until he was almost as large
as the Tin Dipper.
He turned on Polly. and said: Shame on
you. Pollyi Come with me and will show
you a place where children are punished
for their naughty deeds
But the Tin Dipper came up just then
and said: Not yet. dear Rabbit; please
give Polly another chance"
The rabbit at once returned 10 his nat

But they next went to visit the aviary,
where thousands of bright. pretty birds
were hopping around in their cages or sing
ing In the branches Of the trees The birds
knew the children, and came flocking
around them, flying upon their shoulders,
looking for crumbs which the children
found in their pockets. One little wren
perched on PoIly's arm. and before Polly
thought what she was doing she was pull
ing his mouth open TO see where the song
came from The little bird began to grow
and grow and grow until he quite over
topped PoIly1s head.

hurting a little bird that trusted you Come
with me and I will take you to place
where you will be well served for your

had been sadly watching her, again begged
for her release.

Having seen the birds the children then
wanted TO see the snails. So they all went
TO the corner of the garden where many
snails were sitting under the lettuce leaves.
Even they seemed to be glad to see the
small people, and waved d welcome with
their horns One snail was very fascinat-
ing, for such was his pleasure at seeing
his friends that he crept to the very outer
most edge Of a leaf and balanced himself
on this uncertain footing. And Polly for

and snapped him with her finger quite of

however, than he became as big as a huge
