Death of Maud Berri'S Father
Causes AnnuIment of
Advance Sales
TO SING HERE WEDNESDAY
Estate of Parent Now Makes
Star One of WeaIthiest in
Stagedom
TO SING HERE WEDNESDA'

Rather than open their Los Angeles
engagement with an understudy in
place of their prima donna, Kolb and
Dill turned back about $4,000 in adj
vance sales at the Majestic theater for
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights.
This was the result of the death
Saturday evening of Commodore"
Fulton G. Berry of Fresno, we'll known
among the veteran politicians Of the
state, millionaire raisin and oil mag
nate and father of Miss Maude Lillian
Berri, prima donna of the Kob and
Dill forces. Miss Berri will reach Los
Angeles Wednesday, and the engage
ment will open Wednesday night.
Fulton G. Berry was one of the best
known men in Central California. For
many years he had been interested in
the hotel, raisin and oil business, and
previous to his death was rated as.
worth at least two millions. He leaves
a widow and two daughters, Miss Min
ME Berry being the elder sister of Miss
Maude Lillian. Miss Minnie has recent
ly returned from China, where she
served several years as missionary.
The prima donna wanted to cancel
her engagement with Kolb and Dill,
but they succeeded in persuading her
to play in Los Angeles at least. Miss
Berri will unquestionably be the
wealthiest woman on the American
stage when the Berry estate Is pro-
bated, as she was his favorite. When
she opened her recent engagement in
San Francisco her father came up from
Fresno and fairly deluged the stage
with flowers. Later, when his illness
began, she forsook the stage for six
weeks, and did not return until she
believed he was well on the way to
recovery.
The Kolb and Dill company played in
Fresno Friday and Saturday nights,
and Miss Berri made big hit, as she
is very popular there. Her father was
unable to be present. but after Fri
days performance the company were
his guests at a supper in the Fulton
hotel, which he owned. He looked in
on the party for moment, but was
forced to retire because of his illness.

SUBURBAN CITIES
WILL VOTE TODAY
Movement for Good Government
Spreads to Many of the
Nearby Towns

Cities in the vicinity of Los Angeles
ranking in the fifth and sixth classes
will hold elections for trustees today
The campaigns have been conducted
entirely on local issues and have been
characterized by a movement on foot
among the citizenship toward good
government. These movements nave
been forwarded in several of the cities
by newly formed Good Government or
| ganizations While the majority of
! these organizations have no connection
with the main organization at Los An
geles, it is generally conceded that
| they are working along the same lines,
with a desire to conduct their city gov
ernment on a clean basis.
There are some instances. however,
where the so-called Good Government
organization Is composed OF men not
| in sympathy with the Good Govern
ment forces of Los Angeles. 1t thus
rests with the voters of these smaller
cities to take the situation in hand, to
look carefully into the attitude of each
candidate toward machine interests
and to act for himself irrespective of
party flag or following.
An "open" or "closed" town is a
clearly defined issue in Alhambra
The Good Government organization
there stands for a closed town. Hans
Reef. G. w. Cameron and r. E. Behlow
are trustee candidates on the Good
Government ticket. 1t has already
has elected Peter T. Anderson as school
trustee.
The ocean Park tickets are named
Good Government league and Citizens
league, respectively. w. O. Stamps, Z.
w. Holbrook and H. S. Lorenz are
Good Government candidates for trus-
tees. Edward Horan, ]. M. White and
E. G. Hostetter are presented by the
Citizens league.
Five candidates are before the voters
at Hermosa Beach for four positions.
Sawtelle also has Good Government
ticket. 1t is composed of John q. era
ham. C. C. Hayes, c. H. Wyant ana
William Haas for trustees, r. G. Put
thur Hill for city clerk, w. n. May LOT
CITY marshal and w. H. Williams Tor
city treasurer. The Peoples league IN
the other hand has nominated George
p. Lawrence, George Horning, {. Z.
HAYES and e. E. Rice for trustees, Ar
thur hill for city clerk w. n. May for
marshall and F. W. Seeley for treas
urer. Charles d. See is running as IN
dependent candidate for marshal.

JOKE ON CHINESE
CAUSES TURMOIL
MongoIians in Jail Frenzied by a
Report That They Would
Lose Heads

Crazed with fear from his long con-
finement in the county Jail on a charge
of illegal entry into this country and
laboring Under the impression that he
was about to lose his head or his
queue, a lean, hollow-eyed Chinese, one
of the twelve found hidden in a boxcar
in the Southern Pacific railroad yards
several months ago. caused turmoil
of excitement among the Jail attaches
yesterday when he delayed for some
moments an order of deportation by
climbing with the agility of monkey
up the bars OF his cell to the ceiling.
Only the prompt use of strong
stream of water from a hose brought
him TO the floor, wet, bedraggled and
gasping for breath. Handouts and the
use of an interpreter resigned the Wild
eyed Chinese to his fate and few
hours later three deputy sheriffs left
for San Pedro with the twelve Chinese,
where they boarded the steamer Santa
Rosa, bound for San Francisco, at
which place they will be deported.
Deputies at the county Jail say the
Chinese have been acting queerly for
several days and they are inclined to
believe that a practical joker had a
hand in telling the Chinese in their
own language they were about to be
beheaded instead of deported.
The Chinese were found at a time
when the federal authorities were most
active in securing the country for the
agents of a ring engaged in smuggling
Chinese and opium into this country.
The ring is said to have headquarters
in the Chinatowns of Los Angeles, San
Francisco and several eastern cities.
The Chinese under arrest were found
in a boxcar starving and surrounded
with filth. Their discovery was made
by accident and has furnished an inn
portant clew by which the immigration
authorities hope to at last lay their
hands on the smugglers.
