A man called last night at the Busch garage and said he was sent by the Union garage to get one of the Busch machines and take it to the shop for repairs. As the machines happened to have been repaired yesterday afternoon the Busch chauffeur refused the de mand, and the man went to the Busch house and tried to bluff the butler into giving him an order. This failing, he took his departure. The two Busch cars are among: the finest in Southern California, and it seemingly would have been impossible for the man to have disposed of one even if he had taken it.

CLUB SEEKS TO PROTECT FISH ROD ANH REEL MEMBERS ASK LEGISLATION Edward Hedderly, Retiring President, Calls Attention to Necessity of Passing Laws Against, i Use of Nets Members of the Southern California Rod and Reel club met last night in j Burbank hall for the purpose of elect ing officers for the year 1909, to review i the work of the past year, and plan j for the future. In a' masterly review i Edward Hedderly, retiring president, I summed up the work of the year and told of the plans to secure legislation for the purpose of protecting along shore game fish. Mr. Hedderly called attention to the surf fish bill drawn by Max Lowenthal, and which was de feated at the last session of the legis lature through the influence of the commercial fishermen. He urged every member of the club to use his influence to sec\ire the passage of the bill at the present session of the legislature. Plans for sending a special delegate to Sacramento to look after the bill in question were discussed, but no definite I action was taken. The bill in question provides that nets shall not be used by the coast fishermen in taking cor bina, yellow-fin and surf fish. The men ! who make a living fishing with nets j take thousands of pounds of undersized ! fish, which are marketed along with the larger ones. In this way the best game fish of the coast will be exhausted in a few years. The retiring president pointed out the fact that the game fish were a more valuable asset to Cali fornia in providing sport for tourists and others than for providing a living to the few Japanese and others who drag; the shore with their fine mesh nets. Efforts of No Avail Mr. Hedderly also pointed out that the efforts at San Diego to control the wholesale slaughter and waste of un dersized fish by legislation requiring the use of large mesh nets were of no avail. "The only way to settle the matter," declared Mr. Hedderly, "is to abolish the net for the game fish and make the fishermen use lines." During the past year the club has held eleven meetings at the seashore and has had four barbecues. At thest. various meetings casting tournaments and other angling contests have been held. Prizes have been awarded many members for fish caught during the season. Eleven men won club buttons for large fish taken on light tackle. Mr. Hedderly commented favorably on the efforts of fishermen to abolish heavy tackle, thus giving the fish a more equal chance in the contest, and ! making fishing a test of skill. It was : decided by the members present that the report of the retiring president should be printed in pamphlet form- and a copy sent to every one of the 250 members of the organization. Members then proceeded to the elec tion of officers and the following were chosen to pilot the now important and growing organization through another year of activity: President, Max Low enthal: vice president, Ellsworth Sal yer: second vice president, Edward Hedderly; third vice president, Samuel J. Paul. E. R. Abbott was re-elected to the position of financial secretary, and Roy B. Shaver was again chosen recording secretary. It is planned to hold many meetings during the coming year, and to in crease the number of very popular fish barbecues. Rules have been drawn by a committee to govern casting tourna ments.

As Mr. Barkley is the recognized leader and one of the •'solid thne" elected last spring in one of the hottest elections ever held in the city, Mr. Hess will assume the role of leader in the event of Mr. Barkley's resignation The Theaters Manager Blackwood of the Belasco theater and W. M. Ca-mpbell, repre senting the athletic association of St. Vincent's college, yesterday signed a contract whereby the collegians wiil take charge of the Belasco company's performances on Tuesday nights for (.he next twelve weeks. The athletic association has an indebtedness on its hands and it is proposed to wipe out this by means of a series of theater parties—gatherings that will not only include the students and friends of St. Vincent's, but the general public as well. The first Tuesday night perform ance to come under the financial direc tion of the collegians will be "Charley's Aunt," scheduled for next week at the Belasco. Already large blocks of seats to the number of several hundred have been secured by the St. Vincent's peo ple, and there is every indication that the athletic association of the institu tion will be a considerable financial gainer by t"he project. David Belasco has secured many of the original properties used in the Blanche Bates production of "The Girl of the Golden West," which is to be revived on an elaborate scale at the Belasco theater a week from Monday night, with Florence Oakley in the rnle of The Girl and Lewis S. Stone once more as Ramirez, the polite highway man. When "The Girl of the Golden West" was played at the local Belasco last spring the entfre production was sent to this city from the Alcazar the ater, San Francisco. The long run of the piece jind the subsequent hard usage the scenery and properties re ceived during the brief road tour of the Belasco company had the effect of practically rendering them useless for further presentations, and Scenic Artibt Brunton, Carpenter Schlund, Property Master Buskirk and Electrician Taylor are about as busy a quartet of stage workers as can be found anywhere. The Union League %:lub has arranged for a theater party that will number 250 for the Monday night performance of "The Girl of the Golden West."
