Nearly five hundred persons were pres ent to hear talks by business men and singing by artists. Mr. Murphy said that people are given pain in order that they may know what It is and be prepared to sorrow and sympathize with others who are afflicted with trouble. The speaker said that while It is wrong for a person to believe that he is. perfect,' it is a greater wrong for him to believe that there is no good in himself. He suggested that the best way for a person to benefit himself morally is. to try to find the good In himself and to weed out the sin. • Attorney Frank Pratt was in charge of the meeting and gave a short talk, telling of 'the great good that Francis Murphy had done for him. He said that he was leading the life of. a drinking man and that through Francis Murphy he was convinced of the wrong he was doing himself-' and signed the pledge, which he vowed he never would break. . Shown Way to Plead « Mr. Pratt said that as a young man he had attained success in r worldly way and hnd pleaded before "Juries for the 'lives of others, had pleaded on the platform for people to vote In a way that would better themselves, but that he was unable to plead with God for help for himself until he was shown the way by Francisc Murphy. Mr. Pratt spoke about the opportu nities of young men. He said that he did not agree with the philosopher who Maid that opportunity knocks but once at the door, for he believed that It Is always knocking at the door of young Americans If they but 'live the right kind of life. Judge Galbralth Bald he has known Mr. Murphy for a quarter of a century In Puttsburg and that he always felt that he could not praise him enough for the good he has done. | "He has saved an army of men," said | Mr. Galbraith. "He has labored -with love. In his heart and his efforts have been successful." . Others told of the way In which they had signed the pledge and how theirs have been changed lives ever since. After the services were over those who desired to sign. the pledge were given the opportunity. Mr. Murphy announced that a ben efit concert will be given by the artists of ■ the city for Charles Hendrlcks, a talented musician -who Bang last night and wa3 encored several times, who has become blind, but can have his eight restored if ho has the money with •which to pay for the operation.

"Owing to an urgent appeal on the part of the Ban Franciscans and uhbui ances from them, that ample accommo dations would be had there I yielded to their petitions.

MILITARY DRAMA STILL THRILLS BURBANK COMPANY AROUSES PATRIOTISM Revival ef "The Girl I Left Behind Me" Meet* With Favor of the Two Sunday Audiences After the splendid efforts of the Bur bnnk stock company to make a suc cess of "Mlzpah" last week, that mill tary melodrama, "The Girl I Left Be hind Me," aeems to be a step down the ladder. "The Girl I Left Behind Me" did not fall to arouse the patriotism of the people who saw It last night, Just as it did in the dayfl when it was pre sented for ,the first time. Blanche Hall, as the girl, has a chance to look very charming with a big flag waving above her and she makes good use of the chance. William Desmond •as Lieutenant Hawesworth Is not nearly as Imposing as he was In tho role of tho handsome king In "Mlzpah," but then he leads ' the Twelfth" to victory Just at the right moment, so it docs not matter at air about looks. He rescues the he roine Just at the right minute and' he never sacrifices his honor to the offers Ofjthe villain. <BThe work of William Morris aa stage director was far superior to his acting as Major Burlelgh. Harry Mestayer's performance last night was the most finished and forceful of the piece. He was just a common private with no more distinguishing cognomen than Jones, but he was one of those who arrived. Elsie Esmond again contributed an other fascinating little picture to the play in the role of "Wllber's Ann." Miss Esmond Is the most clever in genue who has been seen at the Bur bank for more than two years— not since Miss Esmond was there before, In fact. John W. Burton portrays the part of General Kennlon, in command of the military department, and Harry Gla zier is the villain. Fay Batnter is the Indian girl and the role Is an entirely new one for the little maid. Rose King Is the only other woman in the cast, and as a frolicking girl she is good. FROHMAN REVIVES "JANE"; SO DOES , BELASCO COMPANY The most successful farce comedies of five or six years ago are once more coming into their own, if one may take the demand for such sterling laugh makers as "Jane," "Charley's Aunt" and "What Happened to Jones" as any criterion of the tastes of the theater goers of today. In New York "Charley's Aunt" was revived five months ago and It has kept the large Manhattan theater filled to overflowing every night since the opening. Now comes word from Charles Froh man's office that "Jane," unquestiona bly one of the funniest farces that was ever played in this . country is also to" have a- big revival at the hands of a. special company Mr. Frohman Intends to organize. "Jane" , will also enjoy another lease of life in England, where Mr. Frohman. is going to give It to the Londoners in the course of the next two months. The Belasco theater • stock company had planned to play "Jane" as the sec ond anniversary of the .opening of the local playhouse the first week In Sep tember, but a request from the Froh man office for the manuscript and an early local presentation made it im perative to call from the San Francisco Alcazar forces that charming and al ways delightful comedienne, Juliet Crosby, for the production of the up roariously funny farce • tonight at the Belasco. . . ■ ■ As soon as the performance^ "Jane" is over this evening , the bundle of manuscript, parts, music and costume plates will be expressed to Mr. Froh man In care of the Duke of York's theater, London, and If "Jane" arrives in the British metropolis on scheduled time the great farce will be played there three weeks from tonight. PLAY AT GRAND IS REPLETE WiTH HEART THROBS Each week the melodramas at the Grand become more lurid and the audi ences accordingly like them better. This week "Lost in a Big City" Is the bill. At the end of the second act an'im pressive fire scone is shown. The flames shoot up through the den of one of the villains with tremendous effect. There is a scheme on foot to ruin Sid ney Heaton and as usual Pryse Mackay and Lillian Hay ward are the original "Mr. and Mrs. Rulner." Frank Frayne Is not an ideal comedy Yiddish type. Harrison King acted as the savior and if it had not been for his labors the loss in population would have been great. Lule Warrenton has another of the "now, darling, mother Is going away on a long journey," parts, and dies in tho second act.' It waß plain that she was not long for this world, for her make-up was such as to cause her to resemble a corpse In the morgue. Paul Harvey was acceptable as Sidney Heaton, who marries two wives be cause his father wants him to. Miss Snell is the heiress wife, according to the program. Myrtle Selwyn as the little Yiddish girl was good and her duets with Frayne were enjoyable. Muriel Fuller as the blind child was as pathetic as was required. Pathos, plenty of stabbing. and shooting, and a spectacular scene . are ■ the component parts of "Lost In a Big City. 1 ' In Betsle Tannehill's Rolo Maud Williams will "go son*' at the Hotchklss tonight In Hessle Tannehill's role In "I O U.'.' Miss Tannehlll has been playing Ann in the Kolh, Dill and Dillon production, but will go north with the Olympia Opera company to Portland. Miss Williams Is a great soprano stage favorite. Miss 'Williams Is best known as the prince In "King Dodo."

BAGGED TBAMPIS A COLLEGE MAN WANDER LUST DOMINATES HIS CAREER Wfjile Working as a Brakeman on Southern Pacific Detective Once Aided Graduate of Harvard University In the detective department of the Los Angeles police force s there are but few. men who have not Bpent several years working at some trade or earn ing their living by some other kind of work. Among them are several who have been railroad men and, when the burglars ;or other "crooks" are good, they occaslonlly gather and "swap" stories. They have become master hands at it because they grew accus tomed to telling experiences when rid ing in the caboose as it bumped over the rails on dark and dreary nights. One of them, "who . was formerly a brakeman, told the following story last night while waiting at the office: "I was braking on the Southern Pa cific before I became a member of the force. That was In 1900. It was late at night when we pulled into Saugus. About two miles the other side of the town I noticed a light in an empty fcox car and cllmbe-1 down to see what was doing. . . . "There was a ragged tramp, / Ord inarily I would have made him get oft the train at the next station, but some thing about his face and the way he kept his hair combed and his hands washed attracted me to talk with him. Tells Story of Life "He told the story of his life after I had questioned him for a while and the good language he used and the,, look in his eyes made me believe him. "He said that his parents had been comfortably rich people In Boston anu that he had received a good education, being a graduate of Harvard. They died and being of an easy turn of mind he spent what they left him in being a good fellow. ' "Then he was petted with the desire to travel, but had no money. He made one trip from Boston to Chicago riding on the brake beams and his fate seemed settled after that. He tried to settle down and work, but the Irreslst able longing to see more of the world had led him on until he had given up all hope of ever staying lon* enough In one place to earn a living. "I was surprised when he pulled from his pocket a book with the cover gone and showing much usage, and told me that it was a copy of Llvy In Latin. Ha said that this had been the one study which he liked In school and that he had read it until he could almost say It backwards. I carried htm to Santa Barbara and bought him a warm meal and felt well repaid by the time he had taken up which would other wise dragged heavy on my hands. "Queer chaps, some of these tramps," he added by way of conclusion.-.

Assistant Police Matron McPeak was Informed that Miss Bmlth was taken to the county hospital several weeks ago, but she wandered away. It was said, and was found sitting on the curbing on Flower street by Patrolman Harris. He sent her to the police station, under the impression that the girl had been drugged and possibly maltreated.
