Second Section SOCIETY YOUTHS STEAL TROLLEY ELECTRIC DERELICT FOUND IN HOLLYWOOD Railroad Officials and County Con. •tabulary Mystified by Weird Mid. night Theft Of Car— Search for Revelers Has car stealing become a popular fad for the young society men of Los Angeles and Hollywood to Indulge in, during leisure hours when their at tendance at some other social function Is not required Is the question which is keeping deputy, constables of Los Angeles township courts guessing. Twice during the ] past month cars have been taken from sheds and paraded through the country and then abandoned on the tracks. The latest theft occurred one week ago last Sunday and deputy constables who have been working on the case declare that the unique criminals may I be in the township courts before many ' days have passed. The first car was stolen about three weeks ngo, but was easily traced anil was found in good condition. In the case of the second car it was different, and the officers of the Los Angeles- Pacific Railroad company are looking 'around for some one to charge with the crime. According to the story told by the deputies, the car was taken to the car barns on Bellevue avenue the morning of the robbery about 1 o'clock. There it was thoroughly cleaned and neatly tucked away and the crew left. Next morning the car was nowhere to be found but a search resulted In the location of the derelict in one of the suburban uvenues of Hollywood. A report was made at once to the headquarters of the road and a special crew was sent out to take charge of the lost car, but it required the ser vices of several men to get the car in Bhape for running. The fuse was burned out while the interior of the car was defaced and beer and whisky bottles were strewn around promiscu ously. The deputies, after careful Investi gation, state they are satisfied that a party of young society boys with an eye for adventure managed to sneak the car out of the barns and hold forth in royal manner after the wilderness of the Hollywood hills had been reached. The officials say It will go hard with the midnight revelers If they are ar rested. ' RAINS FLOOD DRESSING ROOM Mob at Burbank Theater Almost Put Out of Business by Over. flow The heavy storms of last evening nearly put a stage mob of fifty out of business at the Burbank theater. Ail I last night a large force of workmen was busy pumping out the basement under the stage in the hope of being able to offer the extra people a place to don their picturesque rags which form so important a feature of the last act of "The Judge and the Jury." The recent rains have been forming o lake of considerable proportions around the rear of the Burbank theater build ing, and last evening the water found a way into the structure under the stage. This section has been utilized as a quarters for the mob, and when that nggregation gathered last evening to prepare themselves for a grand de nudation of the villain they discov ered about two feet of water in their dressing rooms. The dramatic, insis tent murmur which this mob uses s:> effectively In the popular drama was re produced in real life. Manager Morosco -faced an angry mob in real life. Miss Blanche Hall, the leading woman, solved the situation finally by suggesting that the principals of the company share their dressing rooms with the extra people. The hero ism of this can only be realized by those who know how jeulously a player ivu.uds his dressing room and his prop erty therein. The RucrifUe was made by all the leading members of the com puny and into each of the small rooms eight or ten people made ready for the footlights. DISCUSS PROPOSED SURVEY Residents of the San Gabriel Valley Argue Subject Before Supervisors Two score residents of the San Ga briel valley appeared before the county board of supervisors yesterday to dis cuss the proposed survey of the terri tory in the neighborhood of the San Gabriel river for the purpose of fix ing a definite channel for the rlvpr. The scheme Is to a certain oxtent deemed Impracticable by tlio ranch ers. Many of them Bay that the river Hhould liavo a channel below the "Washburn brldso, but nbovo that point the property owners differ, half of them contending that if the. dam ho removed from tho old fork the upper nectlon of tho valley will be well wa tered and free from tho effects of the storm overflow. It is now a question as to whether the river can be kept in a channel if one Is provided for it. A decision as to surveying the property will be made at the next meeting of the board. SENDS EAGAN TO ASYLUM Carpenter Who Mutters and Bursts Into Tuneless Song Declared Insane Kdward Eagan, a carpenter who had , the idea thnt he was being followed by some enemy who wished to kill him, was committed to Patton yester day on the order of Judge Conrey. Eagan constantly muttered to him self und would at times burst into tuneless song, which habit wuh so an noying to people where he lived that an insanity complaint wuh made against htm. When Hugan was first arreßted a week ago he seemed rational enough, but when Judge Conrey ordered that he be placed in the county jail for a week to see If he showed symptoms of Insanity he broke the furniture and knocked out the windows of the room In which he was confined.

SAYS EXAMINER IS LIAR AND DEVOID OF TRUTH "DOC" HOUGHTON ATTACKS YEL- LOW SUPPORTER Sixth Ward Agitator Resents Story Printed In the Sensational Sheet. Power Committee Joke Causes a Row in Council Meeting "The Examiner Is a liar and the truth Is not In It." After all that the yellow rag ha 9 done to keep "Doc" Houghton In his seat l:i the council and to prevent him hanging himself with too much rope, after the promises that It has made to him to support his candidacy for mayor, the auburn-haired agitator who repre sents the Sixth ward In the city council, turned on its faithful little follower in the city council meeting yesterday and gave It this kick. It developed, however, that this was one of the "Doc's"' little grandstand plays to make Councilman Ford show his hand on the subject of the power committee, a subject th'kt acts like a hairspring on Houghton. While the council was on the trip to the Owens river valley uu agreement was reached that a power committed would be organized and that it would be recommended that Houghton be made chairman. On the return of the council to this city It was announced that the power committee was a Joke and was formulated for the purpose of keeping Houghton quiet while on tho trip. At the meeting of the council held a week ago yesterday Houghton made an effort to have the committee formed and said disagreeable things because the others failed to "come through." Councilman Ford was not at that meet ing, as he dia not return from San Francisco until last Friday. On his re turn the Examiner quoted him to the effect that he did not remember any thing about Houghton being made chairman of a power committee. It was this interview to which Houghton referred when he called the Examiner a liar. This started Houprhton on the subject of the power committee, and brought Councilman Kern to his feet on a point of order. When Kern's point of order had been acknowledged and Houghton ordered to take his seat, Kern said across the table to the disturber: "Walt until we hear a report from the committee that made the Owens river Investigation and then I person ally will move that the power com mittee be appointed." "There's no doubt that we should have the power committee 1 ," said Councilman Ford In discussing Hough ton's grandstand play, "but I don't re member anything about nominating Houghton as chairman of that com mittee. That power belongs to the president of the council and we can do nothing but recommend at the best. Besides, It Is too early to consider it yet. We have money to purchase lands in the Owens river valley, but not oni cent to build the conduit or develop the power. I think we should at least consult with the water department am] find out what they want done before taking any action to develop tho power." , WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY Mrs. Walton of Moneta Admits She Horsewhipped Principal of School Mrs. Edith Walton pleaded guilty to a charge of disturbing the peace when she was arraigned before Judge Pierce of the township court yesterday. It was stated in the complaint made against the woman that she assaulted E. M. Hollingsworth, principal of the Moneta school, with a buggy whip and Injured him seriously. Tho reason given by Mrs. Walton for the assault was that the principal had punished her 10-year-old boy for playing hookey by whipping him. Kvidenoo for the prosecution will be taken Saturday and sentence will be pronounced at that time.
