"THE MAN OF THE HOUR.v

The Man of the Hour comes to the Elks theater this afternoon and to- night, for an engagement of two per formanees. The play is a comedy by George Broadhurst. It deals with modern city affairs, but depending for its interest more upon the human qualities of it's incidents, the fidelity of it's characterization and the all- absorbing nature of a novel story. The play ran for two solid years at the Savoy theater in New York, and that in turn, by five months at the Tre- mont theater, Boston. The producers of the play will present it here with their special company which includes Harry English, John Moore, John Morris, Warren Conlan, Edward Kaane Clyde F.

Municipal Affairs,
MESSENGER FOR HARPER
GUARDS PRESENT MAYOR
Frank White Secures Position of
Greater Dignity in City
Executives Office

Frank White, the young negro who
was messenger to A. C. Harper when
he was mayor is again back in the
mayors office, but this time with
greater dignity, for he Is the personal
bodyguard of Mayor Alexander. The
mayor did not want a bodyguard, but
the police commission insisted on his
accepting one and he chose young
White.
White is tall and straight as an In
dian, and is said to be the best look
ing man of his color in Los Angeles.
When he was messenger, to Mayor
Harper he wore a dazzling uniform of
blue and gold braid and as bodyguard
he will have chance to don blue
uniform with the regular police badge,
for he is a regular member of the
police force.
The council abolished his position as
messenger to the mayor at the sug-
gestion of Mayor Alexander, who re-
ceived him as a legacy when he was
elected at the RECALL election. The
mayor had no personal objections to
White, but did not consider the Of
flee necessary. After he was legis-
lated out of office as messenger he
secured position as janitor in the
health department, where he worked
until he was appointed to the police
force by the police commission last
Tuesday night and assigned to duty
as the mayors bodyguard.

MAY CHANGE DIRECTORATE
ALI NIGHT: AND DAY BANK
Report Represents Institution Is
Operated at Loss

A reorganization Of the directorate of
the All Night and Day bank is contem-
plated in a petition filed in Judge Con-
reys court yesterday by the Title In
surance and Trust company, receiver
for 1155 shares of the banks stock.
This report represents that the bank
is being operated at daily loss of $100,
OF $4,000 a month; that its affairs are
improperly managed and conducted,
and its capital seriously impaired under
the present management.
Permission was granted for the re-
ceiver to vote the 1155 shares of stock
at a stockholders meeting scheduled
for today, to secure a new management
and a new board of directors.
The matter is an outgrowth of the
recent suit of Hugh Blue, trustee,
against the All Night and Day bank,
in which Blue obtained an order for the
transfer of the stock certificates from
the names of former stockholders to his
own.
Subsequently the receiver was ap-
pointed to hold the stock pending the
outcome of an appeal to the supreme
court.
The receiver alleges that w. ]. Con-
ner, secretary of the bank directors,
refused to call meeting, and therefore
the receiver caused one to be called,
set for today.
The purpose of the meeting will be to
remove the present directors, includ-
ing Newton j. Skinner, president, and
to put in a new board.
The stock held by the receiver repre-
sents a majority of the issued stock of
the concern.

SUES WOMAN He PLANNED
TO WED IF HUSBAND DIED
Asks Return of $3.50 When She
JiIts Him for Another

The most shameless case which ever
came under the cognizance of Judge
Monroe of the superior court, accord
ing to his own statement, was heard
by him yesterday. 1t was that of Her
mes II. Alexander against Isadore ID.
Hughes and it involved a series of pc
culiar transactions.
According to the complaint, Alexan-
der was infatuated with Mrs. Hughes
when she was known to the world as
Mrs. e. NJ. Porter.
If the statements of the two are to
be believed, the plaintiff was prepared
to marry the defendant when certain
arrangements were perfected. The de-
fendant had an invalid husband and
the plaintiff had wife from whom he
was seeking divorce.
Both wished to be freed and the
result was that they had considerable
correspondence. Before this, however,
Alexander claimed that he had given
the woman considerable sums.
Meantime, according to the evidence
introduced in court, he had written
loving letters to her, giving her money
for her rent and many other things.
It is alleged they had an agreement
by which they were to be married
when he had obtained divorce from
his wife, and when Mrs. Hughes was
freed from her husband by death.
All the time Alexander was giving
her money for ice cream sodas and
other delicacies. When the woman's
husband died, however, she married
Hughes instead of waiting for Alex
ander, despite his wishes. He sues
for $3.50, which he says he gave her
both before and after the defendants
marriage.

WILL SUSTAIN VETO OF
ALVARADO ST. ORDINANCE

Recommendation that the mayors
veto of the Alvarado street boulevard
ordinance be sustained will be made
to the council by the street and boule-
wards committee, which considered the
matter Yesterday. The committee will
also recommend that another ordinance
be passed, which will eliminate street
car lines on Alvarado but will not
prohibit heavy traffic. This is in line
with the mayors suggestion.
L. H. Valentine, who has led the
movement to boulevard Alvarado, told
the committee yesterday that the prop
erty owners on that street would be
satisfied if the car line was kept off
and that the mayors suggestions were
a compromise that had been reached
by the mayor and the property own

SUES HALF-INTEREST MEN
FOR $1,000; CHARGES FRAUD

To recover $500 in cash and cancel
eight notes for $50 each, which he al
leges were obtained from him by
fraud Lawrence Sondheim yesterday
filed suit in the superior court against
P. B. McCabe and Al A. Crank. The
plaintiff claims that he answered an
advertisement of the defendants who
represented themselves to be the own
ers of the Lodwic Concentrator COM
pany, and of a one-half interest In the
Lampert patents and offered him a
position as their secretary at 500 a
month, providing Sondheim invested
$1,000 with them.
The plaintiff, according to his allie
cations, did not have this amount, but
handed over 5000 in cash, with eight
notes for $50 each. He now claims
that they falsely represented conditions
to him, and that the defendants, Nc
Cabe and Crank, had no interest what
ever in the Lodwic company or the
Lampert patents.

OCEAN STORM DRIVES
HEAVY RAIN ON CITY
Downpour Continues During the
Night, but No Damage to
Property Is Reported

Los Angeles and vicinity received a
generous downpour last night. Ram
began falling early in the evening ana
continued all night, with only short IN
termissions. While the total precipita-
tion was not unusually heavy, it did
much to put the rainfall for the sea-
son to date near the normal mark. II
did no damage. On the contrary II
will be of benefit.
According to A. B. Wollaber, the To-
cal weather forecaster. the storm came
from the ocean beyond the limits COW
cred by the reports received by the bu-
reau, consequently no warning of lts
coming could be given.
1.-THE rain was caused by disturb
ance which developed after our reports
were received this morning" said Mr..
Wollaber yesterday. mo storm was
indicated by early reports. The pres
sure fell rapidly during the afternoon
however, and this was followed by IN
creasing cloudiness. The rain probably
was due to the influence of some storm
which moved in from the ocean beyond
the limits of our reports. The weather
will continue unsettled and shoWery
until the storm passes eastward. The
rainfall for the season to date is 10
inches. The normal rainfall for the
season to this date is .32 inches"

Railroad Construction FinanCier
Says New Line Means a

HAS FAITH IN LOS ANGELES
Man Who Supplies the Funds for
Steam Road Building Speaks
of Growth of California
HAS FAITH IN Los ANGELES

William Saloman, whose firm, the
William Saloman company of New
York, in conjunction with the Blair
company and the William A. Reed com
pany, financed the building of the
Western Pacific railroad, is in Los An
geles on a short visit, after having in
spected the new road.
ACCOMPANIED by Louis P. Sheldon,
London representative of the Saloman
company, the New York fnancier IS
paying one of his periodical visits to
Los Angeles, and incidentally showing
Mr., Sheldon the Pacific coast, the latter
never before having been in the west
ST can easily tell you why am mere
and for what" said Mr Saloman last
evening at the Alexandria, because L
am here only for pleasure. l am no
newcomer to this city or to the coast,
for I Travelled over Southern California
thirty years ago in q wagon with II.
d. Huntington, and have watched the
city and state grow from what 1t was
then to what it is now. Why, Mr.
Huntington and myself Travelled over
the oil fields, the rich lands and the
sites of cities years ago, and l never
for a moment doubted then tnat thg
country would develop as 1t has.
have always had faith in California and
in Los Angeles, and still have. 1t has
a great future.
aThe new Western Pacific road is one
of the finest in the country, as far as
roadbeds and grade are concerned. A
great deal has been published about
the Iowness of the new roads grade,
and from inspection I find the pub
lished accounts reliable. California
should appreciate the road and patron
ize it as much as possible. It's coming
means another transcontinental line to
this state"
Mr.. Saloman's familiarity with Cali
fornia is due to a large extent to the
fact that he, with other New York cap
italists, financed the building of most
of the railroads In this state In fact,
he furnished a great deal of the money
used by Fl. e. Huntington In building
ali the Iatter's steam railroad lines.

Mayor Alexander yesterday received
word from the employers of structural
iron workers that they would refuse to
arbitrate the strike. They declared
they intended to stand by the men who
worked for them during the strike
and would not appoint committee to
confer with a similar committee from

A committee of the strikers called
on the mayor a few days ago and
asked him to act as mediator. They
submitted a proposition they considered
fair and offered to meet a committee
of their employers to discuss the dif-
ferences and arrive at an amicable
settlement.
The mayor addressed letters to the
employers asking them to name such
a committee, but they yesterday re-
fused to do so.
