ELDRIDGE HAS BIG PATRONAGE CHAIRMAN OF SUPERVISORS NAMES COMMITTEES Pridham Says He Will Give His Con. stituents Self.Government as Regards Road Foremen Chairman C. J. Nellis of the board of supervisors announced the list of his committee appointments yesterday as follows: Court house—Supervisors Eldridge, McCabe and Nellis. County jail—Nellis, McCabe and Prld- ham. County hospital—McCabe, Eldridge and Manning. County farm—Eldridge, McCabe and Nellis. Finance—Pridham, Nellis and Man- ning. Bridges—Manning, McCabe and Prid- ham. Oil pit—Manning, Pridham and Nellis. The bridge and oil pit committees are new additions to the standing commit- tees. By the new arrangement the bridge committee will have supervision of all bridges In the county, instead of placing this work in the hands of the supervisors in whose district bridges are located. The board has always had a finance committee, but it existed In name only, for nothingw sa' submitted to it. Chair- man Nellis, however, promises that this committee shall be one of the most im- portant on the board. The committee \u25a0will act as an auditing body and every bill against the county must hence- forth pass through its hands and re- ceive its approval before being paid. Eldridge Powerful Factor Supervisor Eldridge has been chair- man of the county farm committee for several years and his reappointment to that office and also to the chairman of the court house committee makes him one of the strongest men, so far as patronage is concerned, on the board. Supervisor Pridham of the Fifth dis- trict, who was elected to succeed C. E. Patterson, announced yesterday that he \u25a0would ma"ke a new departure in select- ing the foremen for road work in his district. There are now fifteen road districts in Mr. Pridham's territory and one will be added soon. Mr. Pridham has decided to reappoint Foreman Shoemaker of the Piano district, but says in all other cases he will leave the selection of the foremen to residents of the districts. "This will mean self-government on a small scale," said the new supervisor, *'and the people living in the districts will, I believe, take a greater pride in their roads." Protests against the rates charged by the Union Hollywood Water company were made to the board by water users living near Hollywood, and the board was asked to regulate the prices. A reduction of 25 per cent from present schedule is asked. The matter will be taken up at a future meeting of the board. Appoints Engineer The most important work done by the board during its two days' existence \u25a0was the appointment of A. E. Loder as chief engineer of the highway commis- sion to superintend the good roads project. Ray L. Chesebro was reap- polnted secretary. Loder's salary was fixed at $333.33 a month and Chesebro will receive $125. At the same time the board authorized the commission to draw $1000 from the general fund for the purchase of instruments for the surveying department, and next Mon- day the highway commission will ap- pear before the board with the names of a number of sub-engineers for ap- pointment. This means that prelim- inary work on the good roads will be begun within a few days. The boaTd denied a saloon license to Reuben A. Brown, who wanted to es- tablish a saloon on the corner of Louisiana and Hodge streets, Laguna precinct. A protest signed by 300 resi- dents of the section had the desired effect. Nick Stambook, who several weeks ago applied for a license to run a saloon at Neenach, near the aqueduct, with- drew his application yesterday. He says he will file another application in a few days to establish his business still farther from the line of the new •waterway. June Raymond Arraigned June Raymond, accused of carrying morphine to Ralph Buchanan while he was in the city jail awaiting trinl on a charge of vagrancy, was arraigned in the superior court yesterday. She will enter a plea before Judge Willis Wednesday. Incorporations The Fox Suburban Land company, with a capital of $10,000, filed articles of incorporation in the county clerk's office yesterday. The directors are Edward C. Fox, Grade E. Fox, W. F. Heathman, Santa Ana; George Fox and Rachel A. Fox. Los Angeles. RUN OUT OF HOME BY MAN WITH REVOLVER Professional Spiritualist Writer Ac cused of Invading House on North Fremont Avenue and Threat. ening Inmate's Ufe Emil Edlnger, aged 24, a writer for spiritualist publications and said to be the son of a playwright and publisher of Paris, France, was arraigned in po- lice court yesterday afternoon on charges of carrying concealed weapons and flourishing a revolver. He will appear for trial this afternoon. Edinger lives at 425 North Fremont avenue. Late Monday night, it Is said, he went to the home of Arthur Eustis, at 461 North Fremont avenue, and chased the occupants from the place by flourishing his revolver. He pursued Eustis and threatened to kill him, it Is asserted. Patrolmen Parker and Mclntosh ap- peared about this time, overpowered Edinger and took him to the central station. The man was greatly agi- tated and declared over and over again that he w^s being persecuted by Eus- tis and wanted to fill the latter full of lead. Edinger is an enthusiastic exponent of the spiritualist cult, and earns his livelihood by writing for those publi- cations. He said he ran away from his home in Paris six years ago after a quarrel with his father concerning a certain act in a play which the young man was writing. He declared he had followed the life of a sailor before the mast for almost five years. He came to Los Angeles some time ago and began to study psychological subjects. It is thought Edinger is mentally un- balanced. When the charges against him were read in court yesterday and he was asked how he pleaded to them he replied: "It was in self-defense." He was unable to furnish the $125 bonds required and was taken back to jail. NEGRO CROSS-EXAMINES HIS FORMER SWEETHEART Laughable Scene Enacted In Justice Court When Dusky Suspect Faces Erstwhile Love A comedy was enacted in Police Jus- tice Chambers' court yesterday after- noon during the trial of W. H. H. Morris, a negro, charged with placing poison in milk at the boarding house conducted by Annie Martin at 620 East First street. The laughable feature of the trial came during the testimony of Isabelle Phillips, a former sweetheart of Morris.' On direct examination she told her story concerning her relation with the accused. She said they were quite friendly for awhile, then her love changed and she ordered Morris to cease coming to see her. She declared he threatened to kill her and warned her on one occasion that some poison might find its way into her food. His words to her were in effect that the ac- cused had a premonition there was going to be sickness in her family and he thought she might be the victim. Morris expressed a desire to cross- examine the witness. He began a long harangue and was told by the court to confine his remarks to questions. He would ask lengthy questions and when the replies of the witness were adverse to his case, both would argue the point, to the edification of those in the court room. The controversy ran along this line until Morris had tired of questioning the woman: "Now didn't you say such and such a thing?" "No, I didn't," she would retort. "Yes, you did, and you know it," he would reply. "No, I didn't. You shut up. You haven't any sense." Efforts of the justice and the attor- neys to stop this method of cross ex- amination were without avail for a time, but finally Justice Chambers held Morris to answer to the superior court in bonds of $3000. BUSINESS WOMEN RECEIVE INFORMALLY AT CLUBROOM California Association Carries Out Highly Successful Program and Decides to Make Celebration Annual Affair The California Business Women's associa- tion gave an informal party last night in their club room on West Third street. The affair passed off so pleasantly that it was decided to make it an annual event. A program was furnished by different members of the association and included guitar and mandolin numbers by Mr. and Mrs. ML P. Spalding, readings by Miss Mabel Damar, songs by Miss Louise E. Warner, who accompanied herself on the guitar, and Browning readings by Miss Stella King, re- cently from New York and Boston. Good stories were told by different mem- bers, and an lmprompt cake walk by Mrs. Frank Wolfe and Mrs. Leland Norton added to the merriment of the occasion, which was marked by complete informality. AERO CLUB ESTABLISHES FUND FOR GLIDER TRIALS At its monthly meeting last night the Afro club of California established a fund for encouragement in construction of glid- ers, which will be utilized in connection with this year's trials and exhibitions under the auspices of the club. It is planned to have an exhibition or contest this month, provided those now being built by members of the organization can all be finished in time. The club has not settled upon a park for its experiments, but expects to do so within a week. The Zerbe aeroplane Is still at Bimlni baths. Mr. Zerbe expects to receive the new crankshaft for the engine today, and will probably give the Aeronef a test this week. CITY HALL NOTES A number of bids were opened by the coun- cil yesterday for nje engine sites near Fifth and Wall streets. The bids vary in price ac- cording to the size of the lot offered and to determine which offer is to the best advantage of the city they were referred to the land committee. This committee will report to the council next Tuesday. The matter of advertising for bi.is for the collection of garbage was laid over for an- other week. On the recommendation of Tax Collector E. E. Johnson the restaurant liquor license of Chin Cow, 309& Marchessault street, was re- stored to him by the police commission yes- terday. The police commission had revoked the licence for non-payment of fee, but this was done through a misunderstanding. The council yesterday ordered the adver- tisement of a franchise for Fifty-fourth street, from Hoover and Dalton. This rail- way line is to be a connecting cross town line in the southern part of the city. The council has rented two rooms In the Copp building, next the city hall, for the use of the city oil Inspector. By an ordinance passed yesterday afternoon the city treasurer's office will close at 4 o clock instead of 5 o'clock as has been the cue. This is done in order to permit the treasurer's force to make their daily balances and check: up with lha auditor. DE MANVILLE'S SLAYER CAUGHT FORCED BY SHERIFF HAMMEL TO SURRENDER SAYS HE MISTOOK CONSTABLE FOR HOLDUP MAN Had Been Hiding In the Foothills, but Came Down at Nightfall to Ranch for Food and Shelter John H. Allen, "Arizona Jack," who shot and killed Deputy Constable Charles de Manville at Newhall Mon- day night, was captured at the old Kellogg ranch near Newhall last night by Sheriff W. H. Haramel and Deputy Sheriff Martin Aguirre. He was brought to Los Angeles and placed in the county Jait with the charge of mur- der against his name. Allen, who is a small wiry man, 35 years of age, tells a story of the shoot- ing which places an entirely different complexion on the affair. According to the account by the prisoner at the county jail last night he had been in Newhall Monday night drinking, and for noisy and boisterous conduct had been ejected from a sa- loon there. From the saloon he went to a show in the opera house, and after the show returned to the saloon and got some- thing to drink; after that he started to walk to the Kellogg ranch, where he was employed. When he got to the edge of the town five men who had dropped off a freight train some time previously, and had seen him in the saloon spending money, attempted to hold him up. He resisted them and when he succeeded in get- ting loose from them drew a revolver and fired several shots at them. The men disappeared in the darkness, go- ing toward the twon, and a few min- utes later a man who proved to be Deputy Constable de Manville came up to him and pointing a gun at him ordered him to throw up his hands. Allen thinking it was one of the men who had attempted to hold him up started to draw his revolver again and De Manville fired three shots at him, two of which went wild, while the third passed through his coat, burning him along the side of the back. At the third shot Allen drew his re- volver and fired one shot at the offi- cer. This ran up his arm, penetrated his breast, entered his heart and killed him instantly. Allen then made his way to the old Kellogg ranch and passed the night in the barn after getting something to eat. Yesterday he went to the new Kellogg ranch and told his employer, Charles Kellogg, of the shooting. He then went into the foothills near by. Kellogg notified Constable Pardee and he notified the sheriff of Allenfs probable whereabouts. Sheriff Hammel and Deputy Aguirre went to the old Kellogg ranch yesterday afternoon and scouted all through the foothills near there without finding any trace of Al- len. The ywaited, however, at the ranch and last night shortly after 7 o'clock Allen came down from the hills to get something to eat and to sleep In the barn. As he was approaching the barn Sheriff Hammel held him up with a rifle and arrested him. He was brought at once to this city. DANGEROUSLY INJURED IN COLLISION WITH WAGON Ironworker, While Riding Bicycle, Attempts to Make Crossing and Is Struck Senseless to the Ground Nels EnolK, an Iron worker employed by Edward Trinkkeller at 1720 South Main street, was run down by a wagon while riding a bicy- cle at Twenty-first and Main streets last night, knocked from his wheel and seriously injured. Enollt was riding south on Main street toward his home at Fifty-ninth street Just as a delivery wagon driven by N. L. Denibis was crossing Main street. Enollt tried to pass in front of the wagon and was knocked down, falling heavily on nis head. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the receiving hospital, where he lay in an un- conscious condition all night. Judge Dies Here Funeral services over the body of Frank H. Clark, a former jud^e of Salt Lake City, will be held this afternoon at the parlors of the Dexter Samson undertaking company. Judge Clark, who was 54 years of age, recently came to Los Angeles and died at his home, 1223 South Olive street. He was a past chief commander of the G. A. R. of the department of Utah and Stanton post will conduct the services this afternoon. Burial will be in Rosedale cemetery. Again in Like Trouble J. C. Quinten was arrested last night by Detectives Jones and Boyd on the charge of having passed a fictitious check on E. V. Lewis, a dealer in photographic supplies. Quinten was arrested for a like offense in December last and was released by the su- perior court on probation. He will be pre- sented In court today and probably sent to prison on bis first conviction. Committee Forms Resolutions The executive committee of the Log Angeles Church federation formed a resolution at its meeting yesterday asking that a state law be passed pro- hibiting prize fights in California. The resolution will be sent to the legisla- ture. BOTH PRACTICING DAILY FOR CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Athletic Club Much Interested in Coming Handball Contest Between Ray Dunnigan and Gordo Whelan Members of the Los Angeles Athletic club are greatly interested in the cham- pionship handball contest between Ray Dunnigan and Gordo Whelan, Janu- ary 16. Both men are practicing daily for the coming event, which, judging from all indications, will be a hotly contested match. The winner of the contest will be the club champion, and will hold the Garbutt handball cup. SAVAGE PAYS $45,000 FOR MINOR HEIR, PACING CHAMPION INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 5.—M. W. Savage, owner of Dan Patch, world's champion pacer, yesterday became the owner of Minor Heir, last year's pacing sensation, by paying $45,000 to P. C. Isaacs of Johnstown, Pa. Minor Heir is a brown horse, foaled in 1902 in Rose- ville. 111. He finished the,last season with a mark of 1:59%. j LAMBARDI SINGERS SHINE IN 'LA TOSCA' "LA TOSCA," opera in thr»e acts, by Puoclni. Florla Tosca, a celebrated singer Ester Ferrabini Mario Cavaradossl, painter Kugenlo Battain Baron Scarpla, chief of police Alessandro Modesti Angelottl A. Mauceri A. Sacristan Natal" Cervi Spoletta, police agent A. Neri Sciarrone, gendarme Elena Pompeo A shepherd boy A. Oiana The Lambardi opera company gave what was probably the best rendition of "La Tosca" ever heard in Los An- geles at last night's performance at the Mason opera house. Ester Ferrabini's "Vissi d'Arte d'Amor" and Eugenio Battain's "E Lucevan le Stell ed Olez- zava" received enthusiastic encores. Both singers were in excellent voice and accomplished a highly artistic por- trayal of the roles of Tosca and Mario. Even to those who did not know the story of the opera the plot was made clear by Slgnorina Ferrabini's intelli- gent pantomimic elucidation of the plot. In the last act the situation would have been unintelligible to an English audience, assuming that the story was unknown, had it not been for the carefully shaded expression of both singers. Tosca believes that the execution of her lover is a sham and that it had been arrange I that he would escape after feigning death. The plan miscarries and Mario dies. The action is made understandable by the finished acting. While Ferrabini's voice cannot be called beautiful she uses it with so much art that she easily masters any role in which she is cast. Eugenio Battain showed clearly as Mario that he would be properly placed In any galaxy of stars on the great "Silky Way." The euphemistic accounts of his achievements in South American cities were received here with some mental reserve, but after hearing his Mario It can be said without hesita- tion that he has by no means been underrated. Alessandro Modesti's opportunity comes in the second act, where Scarpia holds Tosca in his power and seeks to compel her to submit to him by tor- turing Mario. Like the other two sing- ers he adds much to the effectiveness of his performance by his noteworthy histrionic ability. Jaccia, who is a favorite pupil of Mascagni and a close follower of this composer, won the enthusiastic ap- proval of the audience and was com- pelled to appear at the end of the first act with Ferrabini and Battain. His direction of the orchestra has improved greatly since the first performance of the present engagement. The staging of the piece is a noticeable improve- ment on that of the other performances of the present engagement. The committee in charge of the Gla- zier benefit to be given at the Majestic theater Friday afternoon, January 15, yesterday announced the program as follows: William Desmond, Lillian Lamson and Florence Stone in the playlet, "Who Calls," by Sir Gilbert Parker. Miss Edna Mason, contralto. Ollie Walters, song. Song and chorus by members of Fischer's stock company. Murray and Mack, the "'Faceograph," with chorus. Schreck and Aldro, strong men. The Burbank stock company in the first act of "Raffles." Germain, the wizard. Fay Bainter, song and dance. Harry Mestayer and Miss Lillian Al- bertson in Gilbert's "Sweethearts." An act from the Orpheum. Henry Stockbridge, Willis Marks and Miss Florence Stone in Mr. Stock- bridge's one-act farce, "The Widow." Kenyon and Healy, vocalists, from the Los Angeles theater. Scene from "La Tosca," presented by Miss Mary Hall and A. Byron Beasley. Ferris Hartman company from the Grand opera house. Lillian Burkhart in a sketch, not yet selected. Miss Pearl Dillon, soprano. The Belasco stock company in a one- act piece by C. E. Van Loan. Reed and Arbuckle, who are pre- senting an Irish-Teutonic duology as one of the features of as diverting a bill as the Empire has presented in some time, are muchly interested in the completion of the Municipal Water- ways association's plans, since both are the owners of property that will be vastly enhanced in value if the canal scheme can be promoted. They have been joking each other all week about what they will do with their money when their land is condemned for the purposed waterway on the "Shoestring strip." The Five Royal Hawaiian Serenad- ers continue as prime favorites with their Hawaiian songs and instrumental music, while Edith de Belle's singing and whistling solos, to say nothing of her dainty dancing, are well done. The Hill sisters offer an illustration of un- usual appeal in "My Garden Which Blooms for You." and the stock com- pany gets a lot of fun out of "The Ar- rival of Jefferies," another of Al Franks' farces. All in all the bill is a distinct credit to the house A tuneful and amusing musical comedy is being: offered at the Unique this week under the title of "The Toreadors." The comedy, which is in one act, is supposed to portray the adventures of an Irish-Mexican in Old Mexico, in his usual adventurous spirit he becomes a toreador and one of the numbers is a bull fight which is uproariously funny. Will Arm- strong is given many opportunities to display his ability as an Irish comedian and is largely responsible for the many laughs through the comedy. Barney Williams makes a good Dutch comedian, with Ed Armstrong and Jack Curtis as an offset between the two. Among the catchy song num- bers are "Shamrock," by Lillian Suth- erland, who does her work in a very clever way and was recalled several times; "Long Ago," by Ethel Davis, proved a pleasing number, sung in her usual charming manner, while Magda- lene Holly made a decided hit with "Merry Ouch" and chorus. Barney Williams was heard in a monologue and in "Peerless Julia," and caught the fancy of the audience last evening. The illustrated songs are rendered this week by Leona Craft, who sings the latest local success, "California for Mine," written by the Armstrong brothers.

Ife-*^/ P J Making Good Makes Friends There is no way of making lasting friends like "Making Good"; and Dr. Pierces medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after more *han two decades of popularity are numbered by the Wk hundreds of thousands. They have "made good" and they have not made drunkards. V 1L \u0084. A good, honest square-deal medicine of known composition is ge\ 2 fe| Dr. Pierces Groldeii Medical Discovery. m It still enjoys an immense sale, while most of the preparations that came into prominence in ft^^d |s-*-> the earlier period of its popularity have "gone by the board" and are never more heard of. y| |EtfttTtt There must be some reason for this long-time popularity and that is to be found in its superior fl BSiUIL merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, its superior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with its attendant indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, perhaps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing is as good as Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper—no secret, no hocus-pocus hum- bug, therefore don't accept a substitute that the dealer may make a little bigger profit. Insist on your right to have what you call for. Don't buy Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription Expecting it to prove a " cure-all." It is only advised for woman's special ailments. It makes weak women strong, sick women welt.

CHAIRMAN OF SUPERVISORSNAMES COMMITTEES

Pridham Says He Will Give His Con.

stituents Self.Government

as Regards Road

Foremen

Chairman C. J. Nellis of the board ofsupervisors announced the list of hiscommittee appointments yesterday asfollows:

Court house—Supervisors Eldridge,

McCabe and Nellis.County jail—Nellis, McCabe and Prld-

ham.County hospital—McCabe, Eldridge

and Manning.County farm—Eldridge, McCabe and

Nellis.Finance—Pridham, Nellis and Man-

ning.Bridges—Manning, McCabe and Prid-

ham.Oil pit—Manning, Pridham and Nellis.The bridge and oil pit committees are

new additions to the standing commit-tees. By the new arrangement thebridge committee will have supervisionof all bridges In the county, instead ofplacing this work in the hands of thesupervisors in whose district bridgesare located.

The board has always had a financecommittee, but it existed In name only,for nothingw sa' submitted to it. Chair-man Nellis, however, promises that thiscommittee shall be one of the most im-portant on the board. The committee\u25a0will act as an auditing body and everybill against the county must hence-forth pass through its hands and re-ceive its approval before being paid.

Eldridge Powerful FactorSupervisor Eldridge has been chair-

man of the county farm committee forseveral years and his reappointment tothat office and also to the chairman ofthe court house committee makes himone of the strongest men, so far aspatronage is concerned, on the board.

Supervisor Pridham of the Fifth dis-trict, who was elected to succeed C. E.Patterson, announced yesterday that he\u25a0would ma"ke a new departure in select-ing the foremen for road work in hisdistrict. There are now fifteen roaddistricts in Mr. Pridham's territory andone will be added soon. Mr. Pridhamhas decided to reappoint ForemanShoemaker of the Piano district, butsays in all other cases he will leave theselection of the foremen to residents ofthe districts.

"This will mean self-government on asmall scale," said the new supervisor,*'and the people living in the districtswill, I believe, take a greater pride intheir roads."

Protests against the rates charged bythe Union Hollywood Water companywere made to the board by water usersliving near Hollywood, and the boardwas asked to regulate the prices. Areduction of 25 per cent from presentschedule is asked. The matter will betaken up at a future meeting of theboard.

Appoints EngineerThe most important work done by the

board during its two days' existence\u25a0was the appointment of A. E. Loder aschief engineer of the highway commis-sion to superintend the good roadsproject. Ray L. Chesebro was reap-polnted secretary. Loder's salary wasfixed at $333.33 a month and Chesebrowill receive $125. At the same time theboard authorized the commission todraw $1000 from the general fund forthe purchase of instruments for thesurveying department, and next Mon-day the highway commission will ap-pear before the board with the namesof a number of sub-engineers for ap-pointment. This means that prelim-inary work on the good roads will bebegun within a few days.

The boaTd denied a saloon license toReuben A. Brown, who wanted to es-tablish a saloon on the corner ofLouisiana and Hodge streets, Lagunaprecinct. A protest signed by 300 resi-dents of the section had the desiredeffect.

Nick Stambook, who several weeksago applied for a license to run a saloonat Neenach, near the aqueduct, with-drew his application yesterday. Hesays he will file another application ina few days to establish his businessstill farther from the line of the new•waterway.

morphine to Ralph Buchanan while hewas in the city jail awaiting trinl ona charge of vagrancy, was arraignedin the superior court yesterday. Shewill enter a plea before Judge WillisWednesday.

RUN OUT OF HOME BYMAN WITH REVOLVER

Professional Spiritualist Writer Accused of Invading House on North

Fremont Avenue and Threat.ening Inmate's Ufe

Emil Edlnger, aged 24, a writer forspiritualist publications and said to bethe son of a playwright and publisherof Paris, France, was arraigned in po-lice court yesterday afternoon oncharges of carrying concealed weaponsand flourishing a revolver. He willappear for trial this afternoon.

Edinger lives at 425 North Fremontavenue. Late Monday night, it Is said,he went to the home of Arthur Eustis,at 461 North Fremont avenue, andchased the occupants from the place byflourishing his revolver. He pursuedEustis and threatened to kill him, itIs asserted.

Patrolmen Parker and Mclntosh ap-peared about this time, overpoweredEdinger and took him to the centralstation. The man was greatly agi-tated and declared over and over againthat he w^s being persecuted by Eus-tis and wanted to fill the latter fullof lead.

Edinger is an enthusiastic exponentof the spiritualist cult, and earns hislivelihood by writing for those publi-cations. He said he ran away fromhis home in Paris six years ago aftera quarrel with his father concerning acertain act in a play which the youngman was writing.

NEGRO CROSS-EXAMINESHIS FORMER SWEETHEART

Laughable Scene Enacted In JusticeCourt When Dusky Suspect

Faces ErstwhileLove

A comedy was enacted in Police Jus-tice Chambers' court yesterday after-noon during the trial of W. H. H.Morris, a negro, charged with placingpoison in milk at the boarding houseconducted by Annie Martin at 620 EastFirst street. The laughable feature ofthe trial came during the testimony ofIsabelle Phillips, a former sweetheartof Morris.'

On direct examination she told herstory concerning her relation with theaccused. She said they were quitefriendly for awhile, then her lovechanged and she ordered Morris tocease coming to see her. She declaredhe threatened to kill her and warnedher on one occasion that some poisonmight find its way into her food. Hiswords to her were in effect that the ac-cused had a premonition there wasgoing to be sickness in her family andhe thought she might be the victim.

Morris expressed a desire to cross-examine the witness. He began a longharangue and was told by the court toconfine his remarks to questions. Hewould ask lengthy questions and whenthe replies of the witness were adverseto his case, both would argue the point,to the edification of those in the courtroom.

The controversy ran along this lineuntil Morris had tired of questioningthe woman: "Now didn't you say suchand such a thing?"

"No, I didn't," she would retort."Yes, you did, and you know it," he

would reply."No, I didn't. You shut up. You

haven't any sense."Efforts of the justice and the attor-

neys to stop this method of cross ex-amination were without avail for atime, but finally Justice Chambers heldMorris to answer to the superior courtin bonds of $3000.

DE MANVILLE'SSLAYER CAUGHT

FORCED BY SHERIFF HAMMELTO SURRENDER

SAYS HE MISTOOK CONSTABLE

FOR HOLDUP MAN

Had Been Hiding In the Foothills, butCame Down at Nightfall to

Ranch for Food andShelter

John H. Allen, "Arizona Jack," whoshot and killed Deputy ConstableCharles de Manville at Newhall Mon-day night, was captured at the oldKellogg ranch near Newhall last nightby Sheriff W. H. Haramel and DeputySheriff Martin Aguirre. He wasbrought to Los Angeles and placed inthe county Jait with the charge of mur-der against his name.

Allen, who is a small wiry man, 35years of age, tells a story of the shoot-ing which places an entirely differentcomplexion on the affair.

According to the account by theprisoner at the county jail last night

he had been in Newhall Monday nightdrinking, and for noisy and boisterousconduct had been ejected from a sa-loon there.

From the saloon he went to a showin the opera house, and after the showreturned to the saloon and got some-thing to drink; after that he startedto walk to the Kellogg ranch, wherehe was employed.

When he got to the edge of the townfive men who had dropped off a freighttrain some time previously, and hadseen him in the saloon spending money,attempted to hold him up. He resistedthem and when he succeeded in get-ting loose from them drew a revolverand fired several shots at them. Themen disappeared in the darkness, go-ing toward the twon, and a few min-utes later a man who proved to beDeputy Constable de Manville came upto him and pointing a gun at himordered him to throw up his hands.

Allen thinking it was one of the menwho had attempted to hold him upstarted to draw his revolver again andDe Manville fired three shots at him,two of which went wild, while thethird passed through his coat, burninghim along the side of the back.

At the third shot Allen drew his re-volver and fired one shot at the offi-cer. This ran up his arm, penetratedhis breast, entered his heart and killedhim instantly.

Allen then made his way to the oldKellogg ranch and passed the night inthe barn after getting something to eat.Yesterday he went to the new Kelloggranch and told his employer, CharlesKellogg, of the shooting. He then wentinto the foothills near by.

Kellogg notified Constable Pardeeand he notified the sheriff of Allenfsprobable whereabouts. Sheriff Hammeland Deputy Aguirre went to the oldKellogg ranch yesterday afternoon andscouted all through the foothills nearthere without finding any trace of Al-len. The ywaited, however, at theranch and last night shortly after 7o'clock Allen came down from the hillsto get something to eat and to sleepIn the barn. As he was approachingthe barn Sheriff Hammel held him upwith a rifle and arrested him. He wasbrought at once to this city.

LAMBARDI SINGERSSHINE IN 'LA TOSCA'

"LA TOSCA," opera in thr»e acts, byPuoclni.Florla Tosca, a celebrated singer

Ester FerrabiniMario Cavaradossl, painter

Kugenlo BattainBaron Scarpla, chief of police

Alessandro ModestiAngelottl A. MauceriA. Sacristan Natal" CerviSpoletta, police agent A. NeriSciarrone, gendarme Elena PompeoA shepherd boy A. Oiana

The Lambardi opera company gavewhat was probably the best renditionof "La Tosca" ever heard in Los An-geles at last night's performance at theMason opera house. Ester Ferrabini's"Vissi d'Arte d'Amor" and EugenioBattain's "E Lucevan le Stell ed Olez-zava" received enthusiastic encores.Both singers were in excellent voiceand accomplished a highly artistic por-trayal of the roles of Tosca and Mario.

Even to those who did not know thestory of the opera the plot was madeclear by Slgnorina Ferrabini's intelli-gent pantomimic elucidation of theplot. In the last act the situationwould have been unintelligible to anEnglish audience, assuming that thestory was unknown, had it not beenfor the carefully shaded expression ofboth singers. Tosca believes that theexecution of her lover is a sham andthat it had been arrange I that hewould escape after feigning death. Theplan miscarries and Mario dies. Theaction is made understandable by thefinished acting.

While Ferrabini's voice cannot becalled beautiful she uses it with somuch art that she easily masters anyrole in which she is cast. EugenioBattain showed clearly as Mario thathe would be properly placed In anygalaxy of stars on the great "SilkyWay." The euphemistic accounts ofhis achievements in South Americancities were received here with somemental reserve, but after hearing hisMario It can be said without hesita-tion that he has by no means beenunderrated.

Alessandro Modesti's opportunitycomes in the second act, where Scarpiaholds Tosca in his power and seeks tocompel her to submit to him by tor-turing Mario. Like the other two sing-ers he adds much to the effectivenessof his performance by his noteworthyhistrionic ability.

Jaccia, who is a favorite pupil ofMascagni and a close follower of thiscomposer, won the enthusiastic ap-proval of the audience and was com-pelled to appear at the end of the firstact with Ferrabini and Battain. Hisdirection of the orchestra has improvedgreatly since the first performance ofthe present engagement. The stagingof the piece is a noticeable improve-ment on that of the other performancesof the present engagement.

• • •The committee in charge of the Gla-

zier benefit to be given at the Majestictheater Friday afternoon, January 15,yesterday announced the program asfollows:

William Desmond, Lillian Lamsonand Florence Stone in the playlet,"Who Calls," by Sir Gilbert Parker.

Reed and Arbuckle, who are pre-senting an Irish-Teutonic duology asone of the features of as diverting abill as the Empire has presented insome time, are muchly interested inthe completion of the Municipal Water-ways association's plans, since bothare the owners of property that will bevastly enhanced in value if the canalscheme can be promoted. They havebeen joking each other all week aboutwhat they will do with their moneywhen their land is condemned for thepurposed waterway on the "Shoestringstrip."

The Five Royal Hawaiian Serenad-ers continue as prime favorites withtheir Hawaiian songs and instrumentalmusic, while Edith de Belle's singing

and whistling solos, to say nothing ofher dainty dancing, are well done. TheHill sisters offer an illustration of un-usual appeal in "My Garden WhichBlooms for You." and the stock com-pany gets a lot of fun out of "The Ar-rival of Jefferies," another of AlFranks' farces. All in all the bill isa distinct credit to the house

A tuneful and amusing musicalcomedy is being: offered at the Uniquethis week under the title of "TheToreadors." The comedy, which is inone act, is supposed to portray theadventures of an Irish-Mexican in OldMexico, in his usual adventurousspirit he becomes a toreador and oneof the numbers is a bull fight whichis uproariously funny. Will Arm-strong is given many opportunities todisplay his ability as an Irish comedianand is largely responsible for themany laughs through the comedy.Barney Williams makes a good Dutchcomedian, with Ed Armstrong andJack Curtis as an offset between thetwo. Among the catchy song num-bers are "Shamrock," by Lillian Suth-erland, who does her work in a veryclever way and was recalled severaltimes; "Long Ago," by Ethel Davis,proved a pleasing number, sung in herusual charming manner, while Magda-lene Holly made a decided hit with"Merry Ouch" and chorus. BarneyWilliams was heard in a monologueand in "Peerless Julia," and caught thefancy of the audience last evening.

The illustrated songs are renderedthis week by Leona Craft, who singsthe latest local success, "Californiafor Mine," written by the Armstrongbrothers.

Making Good Makes FriendsThere is no way of making lasting friends like "Making Good"; and Dr. Pierces medicines wellexemplify this, and their friends, after more *han two decades of popularity are numbered by the Wkhundreds of thousands. They have "made good" and they have not made drunkards. V 1L \u0084.

A good, honest square-deal medicine of known composition is ge\ 2 fe|
