Cur tis, the juror in the Gill case who was accused of perjury by Attorney Al lejider of Los Angeles, comes back at tho attorney tonight with the retort courteous. Mr. Curtis says that when Allender says that he, Curtis, did not acknowledge that he knew Mrs. Gill he, Allender, is telling an untruth. Mr. Curns call attention to the records which show that Mr. Curtis was never asked any such question when inter rogated as to his qualifications as a juror. In the peculiar mix up which result ed from the interscholastlc football games this season no one of the three leaders, Los Angeles High, Throop In stitute or Los Angeles Polytechnic, was left undisputed champion. High beat Poly and Poly beat Throop. This would appear to put Throop third, but all that was changed when Throop beat Los Angeles High. Throop now claims the championship and Captain Lee formally made such a statement last evening. i Manager Baker, of the Consolidated Gas company, has Issued a statement in which he. says that he believes all gas troubles will be over after today. The company only tried to turn on the gas during meal hours today and there was, consequently, great suffering- for most of the people of Pasadena do pendent upon the Consolidated gas for heating and cooking. Last evening the "Holy City" was due to appear at the Pasadena Opera house. The company came to town all right, but a gasless i city proved too much for the aggregation and there was no performance, as the theater could not be heated. Manager Porter says that the company may come again when it Is either summer or the gas tanks are filled. i» ■ » FOUND DEAD IN HER ROOM Negress Missing Several Days Dies Alone — Natural Causes Are Attributed After friends hail been searching for her over a week, thinking her mentally deranged and lout, Mrs. k.

SAYS WEATHER IS NOT WORST EASTERNERS HAVE NO CAUSE TO COMPLAIN Cold Snap Here le but a Left Over Fragment of What Other People Have Been Getting While the foothills and peaks of the Sierra Madrei are receiving the brunt " , the eastern weather which has man aged to drifts across the desert to the fair and sunny southland, and while even the more southern cities nnd towns or California are receiving their regular quota or the cold and drizzly rain which marks the opening of the winter season, L.os Angeles has proven practically immune from the disagree able part this year and prospects for a streak of continued good weather are being handed out by the weather man. According to the reports from, the country yesterday the oranges art In gOOtl condition and the ruin bus only served to clean up the dust or ths i >■> »t dry days. Hail him been reported from several districts, but the snow is koep iiK well up In tho foothills, with no prospect of Us duplicating Its f<>at of 1X79, when a high wind from the hills swept i sin tiering cloud of snow over Los Angjles. "If the people would only have the foresight to lay In a little wood they would not be complaining of the cold," was the statement of a prominent busi ness man yesterday who has spent many years of his life in Southern Cali fornia, and such statement, even from statistical reports of the weather man, Is true. Season Will Be Mild "The cold season has begun a little bit early this year, but the prospects for a mild season are good," was the statement of the weather man yester day. "The temperature Is rising In good style, and this dash of stiff weather is just in time tojnake Thanks giving day seem sort of natural." Back oast, in almost every state and territory In the Union, the hardest weatheel of years has been reported from time to time, and, according to government reports, the snow storm In the mountains, with the off shore breeze which Is causing the present .brisk spell in Los Angeles, is simply an extension of the eastern storms. So while the carpet of ice and sleet sends the starving poor and the Ulj; clothed old and young, crying and beg ging at the doors of the eastern charity institutions, California is compara tively basking in a zone of summer. Last year the wet season made Its initial bow at just about this time of year and It was followed by a break of midsummer weather during the greater part of December. That warm spell Is predicted for Los Angeles this year, so that the present cold weather, with some more of the same style for Christ mas, will give Southern California the enviable reputation of havlr.g summer weather In the winter, and yet having mad«-to-order weather for the winter holidays. It is reported that conditions show a steady rise in temperature and an abatement of rain within the next day, or two.

That Is a peculiar thing about this aggregation— its irregularity. One never knows what to expect of It. One night when every one is keyed up to a per fect performance — "Carmen" is an In stance—it proves a lamentable fluke; then when every one discounts the an nouncements and stays away because of fear of a failure all the principals line up and deliver a vocal treat sel dom equaled, and even the chorus de velops symptoms of ability and human qualities. L&st night with the double bill and the announcement, in particular, that Orelll would sing Canto many shook their heads. They remembered that incomparable lament and doubted. But that single number was seldom done better anywhere and Is the one thing that gives Orelll the laurel wreath for his stay here. Then again it was noted that Ada berto would sing both Santuzza and Nedda and people negatived it. They didn't believe she could do both In one eveninr- But she did, and It would be hard to say which was the finer, or what she has done here that surpassed them. * That's the way of it with the Lam bardis; if any one feature more than another of their stay stands out it is this very unreliability. However, the large audiences that did take the chance and went to the Auditorium last night had good cause to rejoice. Both operas were given superbly. In the first Adaberto sang like a bird and Pacinl and Antola achieved new acclaim. The famous Intermezzo came In for two renditions and encores were general. "Rustlcana" was well done and quite worth while. But the real acclaim went to "Pagli acci," and rightly. It has the more sensational numbers and hits the gen eral taste more strongly. From the famous and beautiful prologue which Antola had to sing before the curtain four times h« (ore they would let him go to the duet between Nedda (Ada berto) and Sylvio (Pacinl) and thence to the wonderfully fine lament which Orelll did with such consummate art it wal one great ovation and one series of recalls and repeats. How a eompuny that can do these things ho well can fall down on simpler and easier affairs Is one of the many puz zles connected with Italian opera. There was a largo and generous share of good for D'Ottavl, too, for his Tur iddo was fine. Mtllon was the Lola and in "Pagllacci" Nunez had the small part of tbe harlequin and both were good. The chorus in the first opera was (air, i>ut in the opening of the latter a series of skirls on Scotch bag pipes would have been musical and harmonious compared to the discords It emitted. The double bill will be repeated Fri day; hear it. "Barber of Seville" to night. Italian Band at Belaeco The second concert by tho Koyal Italian band under Marco Vessala will be given In -Uie Belasco theater this afternoon.

Uptpn, is an invaluable handbook for the tyro as well as the professional musician. Well Illustrated, with portraits of many present day' opera stars it at once gives one a com plete synopsis of many of the great operatic compositions, together with a sketch of each composer, so that one has in condensed form most of what one needs to give a full understanding of the man and his music. It omits some which might well find a place and retains others which seem not en titled to the distinction, buf this is more a matter of opinion, /since no standard exists; and generally the se lections are absolute.

Quite the most powerful story yet written by the popular English author, Sir William Magnay, Is this present day romance of London social and po litical life. "The Master Spirit."

In "The Dragon Painter," by Mary McNeil Fmiollosa (Sidney McCall) a new Japanese romance by the author of "The Breath of the Gods" and "Truth Dexter," Is Mrs. Fenollosa's ripest and most artistic work, in which she again reveals the Inner depths of Japanese feeling-, but along quite dif ferent lines. There is a fascination about this exotic story of Tatsu, the Dragon Painter, that holds the reader. The dramatic events are all depicted with the same careful workmanship un.l brilliant background that have characterized this author's previous books and the story promises to be more popular than "The Breath of the Gods." Kano lndara, the last of his race and the last of a mighty line of artists, his daughter Ume-ko, and Tat su, a wild mountain artist— the Dragon Painter— are the chief characters of this engrossing, exotic story.

Into "Jack Shelby," George Cary Eggleston has put much of his own early life and that of his gifted brother, Edward Eggleston, and used entertainingly the knowledge and ex perience thus acquired. The scene is laid In Cllfty county, Ind., around 1840, and the experiences of four brothers, who take it upon themselves to establish a new home to which they may take their widowed mother and their sisters, give a picture of pioneer life more faithful than any to be ob tained from historical work. Much hearty enjoyment Is combined with hard labor, and an exciting plot is furnished by the successful efforts of the eldest brother, Jack Shelby, to rid that section of a gang of thieves, which had previously enjoyed immun ity through having a deputy United States marshal among its number.
