2 GRAND 'THRILLER' LACKING IN SNAP 'KATE BARTON'S TEMPTATION' REPLETE WITH VARIETY GEORGE WEBB IS SEEN AS THE GREAT DISGUISER Len Behymer's Appointment as Local , Manager fir the Shuberts Is Announced Officially in '■''■'. Bulletin W. HERBERT BLAKE "Kate Barton's Temptation," which the Grand stock company is present ing this week, cannot be criticised on the score of a lack of variety. Four acts, Including ten scenes, are required to enforce the lesson of daughterly obedience, and perhaps of fatherly tol erance as well. Tho play begins whero a problem play would end, with Kate's departure from the paternal roof with her tempter. The writer of a prob lem play would have showed us Just "why Kate left home," and might so have named the dreary completed product of his laboratory analysis. The melodrama route is more spectac ular and perhaps no wider of tlio prob abilities. We see Kate on the Bowery in a chop suey Joint, and later in the thrill ing scene of the burning tenement. IThe treatment of the under world, necessarily frank at time, is free, in the. main, from the only vice which can justly be urged against such por trayal—a false coloring of romance over what is only squalid and pitiable. It is quaint to hear Bill Barlow say to Kate as ho invites her to quit the old homestead: "It's not wrong; It's all a matter of how you look at it." Bill's ethical principles are quite at one with those of a certain Lady in a recent play which was heralded an the gos pel of a new revelation of life and morals. "There's nothing cither right or wrong but thinking makes it SO," ■was the slogan of "Three Weeks." Now Just see what It did to Bill Bar low! The Grand company did not play fast enough or snapplly enough last night. The express robbery proceeded With the deliberation of a session of the United States senate. George Webb, disguised as a tramp, took weary eons to get out of his box and rescue the express messenger. That was deplorable, but it must be re membered it takes a little time to ap pear as a drunken sailor, a tramp and a Hebrew dilettante all in about fif teen minutes. That's what Webb does, and lie acts, as usual, with a certain natural sincerity which makes mo think he may do better than melo drama, ultimately. Miss Zora Bates, the new leading ■woman, acted passably in a second ary role, the heavy feminine imperson ation being Mis.*. Grace Rauworth as Kate, which was good both in makeup and delivery. Mr. Leonard Is striving faithfully to appear wicked. His Is the sort of villain whom you naturally expect to enliven matters by arising and making an anarchistic appeal for the rights of the Individual as against society. He Is too studious and pro found looking, with all his rags, really to reek with iniquity. Perhaps his method la the correct one. Criminals are frequently men of intelligence. It ■will be Interesting to see how he bears up "In the Shadow Of the Gallows." The rest of the cast are spread over nearly a score of less im portant parts, Mrs. Frayne'a imper sonation of a Bowery habitue' being one of more than ordinary merit. Thomas E. Sewell wrote about Kate. not .Miss Lillian Mortimer, as I incor rectly announced last .Sunday. If ills life is as Impeccable as the ethics of his play he she ail. be a most useful member of society. * • • The Shuberts' weekly bulletin offi cially announces that Len Behymyer has been appointed manager of the "Shubert theater in Los Angeles"— presumably the one to be built next winter, unless the Auditorium is again to amaze us with a brief transit of glory such as "Salvation Nell," of which there la at present no evidence at hand. The Shuberts have arranged to book next season at the Grand In Sacra mento. • • • Elizabeth Murray, who is singing this ■week at the Orpheum, has fallen victim to the lure of Southern California and promises soon to transfer her perma nent home from Philadelphia to this region. She Is now dickering for an orange grove, a bit of grape land and n few bungalows here in town, and her Investments will be for her profit and her home as well. "Why should 1 continue to live In Philadelphia." asked Mis 3 Murray yesterday. "I have a magnificent lionie there, filled with treasures I have picked up abroad, an I when my season closes 1 go there for a settle-down. But can I stay there, think you? Not I. In about a weik I am melted, and then It Is Atlantic City for the rest of the summer. What I'm going to do is to have a hoi - here. Then at the end of the season I can stay right here, keep cool, live in luxury and start out re freshed for another tour." . * * James Thornton, who is singing at the Orpheum this week, is accom panied here by his wife, Bonnie Thorn ton, Mrs. Thornton in her day was one of the most popular soubrcttes on the American stage, famed from New York to this coast. She is still in tha prime of life, but her chief work now adays is to make James happy between his monologues. . , . "The Merry Widow" seat sale Is on today at 9 a. m. at the Mason.

Municipal Affairs ASSESSOR'S WAY CALLED CORRECT HUNTINGTON REPRESENTA TIVE SURPRISES OFFICIAL DECLARES PACIFIC ELECTRIC IS LOSING MONEY Attorney for System Asks Board of Equalization to Reduce Valua tion Placed on Company's Stock The sarcastic smile that constantly adorns the countenance of City As sessor Walter Mallard during the ses sions of the board .of equalization changed to an almost beatific expres sion yesterday morning when W. IS. Dunn, attorney for the Huntington in terests, told the board that the as sessor's method of arriving at the value of a franchise was absolutely correct. This Is the flrst time any corporation attorney has made such an admission, although the courts have declared the method the correct one. The assessor takes the value of the stocks and bonds of a corporation, deducts this value from the tangible assets and calls the difference the value of the franchise, Mr. Dunn asked the board of equal ization to reduce the value of the stocks of the Pacific Electric railway from $30 a share, the value fixed by the assessor, to $10 a share. Mr. Dunn said this stock had no real value, that the Pacific Elec tric was losing money constantly and twice every year the stockholders were compelled to dig Into their own pockets and pay assessments. Ie declare there had been no transfer of this stock for about three and a half years and the last sale was for $1.80 a share. "The company hopes to make money with the continued growth of the city, and this Is Its only reason for running at a loss," said Mr. Dunn. Secret Revealed He told one corporation secret In th,-.j course of his testimony. He said the stock of the Los Angeles railway was given to H. E. Hutlngton on considera tion of his guaranteeing the bond Issue of the railway. At that time this stock was worth nothing, or less than nothing, but lt has since sold for $200 a share and Is now held at $118 a share.! No complaint was made against the assessment of the Los Angeles railway.' except that a nominal reduction was asked on one item to which the city assessor agreed. Mr. Dunn also appeared for the Los Angeles Laid company, the corporation that owns Ascot park. He asks a re duction on the assessment of the grand stand, stables, paddock nnd other im provements. The assessor had fixed a valuation or $101,000 on these improve ments, and Mr. Dunn said the company expected to sell them within a few days for $10,000 to a wrecking company. He asked the assessment be not mors than $4000. The Los Angeles-Pacific asked a technical change In the assessment, making a portion of the amount in the old city and a portion In the annexed territory, as Its line runs through both. This was asked as a precedent for fu ture assessments If more territory Is annexed. A cut from $807,000 to $52,000 i was asked in the franchise of this com pany. All these matters were taken ; under advisement. The board Is practically through With , the corporations, and it Is expected all , the work will lee finished this morning. ■ The matters under advisement will be discussed and final action is expected , before the council adjourns tonight. HOLDS UP CONTRACT FOR BUENA VISTA STRUCTURE Board of Public Works Wants Rail. ways to Agree to Help Stand Cost The award of the contract for the construction of the iron work of the Buena Vista viaduct and bridge was held up by the board of public works yesterday on the recommendation of the city engineer. The contract will not be warded until easements have been secured from the Los Angelos railway, the Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe and the Salt Lake railroads. Thi right of way of the i.os Angeles rail way runs over this bridge an.l the rail roads run under it. Th. Los Angeles railway Is to pay about one-third the cost of the entire structure, and the city engineer has prepared a schedule of cost which the railway company will be asked to sign. T'ntil this is signed nothing further will be done toward letting the bridge contract. | ASK SUNSET PARK ENLARGED UNDER NEW FRONTAGE PLAN Petition Sent to City Council and Referred Immediately to City Attorney The first park petition under the new frontage plan was presented to the ell council at Its meeting yester day. The petition bears the necessary frontage, and was sent In mediately to the ciiy attorney for ordinance. The petition asks that certain terri tory be condemned for park purposes under the new district I irk plan and added to Sun el park. This territory is bounded by Commonwealth avenue, Sixth streel and Rhalto drive. O. E. Farlsh heads the petition. The assessment district suggested, and which will lie Incorporated Into the ordinance, is from Carondelet to the city limits and from First to Ninth streets. The signers represent nearly a majority of the frontage In this pro posed assessment district. *-^*- . _ j To Build Concrete Steps i Following the recommendation of City Engineer Hamlin, the board of public works yesterday authorized the construction of a concrete stairway in Boylston street between Second and Sapphire and extending west into Sap phire. The improvement of Boylston street from First to Third and from Fourth to Crown Hill avenue has been ordered, but this order makes no provision for any improvement between Third and Fourth. It is supposed this block was left out because of the steepness of the street at this point, but the stairway will settle this question. LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 22, IQOfr WANTS LAW TO FORFEIT BONDS CITY ATTORNEY ASKED TO PREPARE ORDINANCE WILL APPLY TO DEPOSITS ON PRIVATE CONTRACTS City Engineer Holds In Trust Fund Money Which Cannot Be Re. turned Because Work Was Unsatisfactory The board of public works has asked the city attorney to prepare an ordi nance providing for the forfeiture of money deposited In fees to cover pre liminary cost of private contracts when the work Is not done within six months after the passage of the final ordi nance. Tins ordinance is found necessary be cause the city engineer Is holding In the trust fund money that cannot be returned to the depositors because the work was not done according to the ideas of the engineering department of what is proper, and cannot be for feited because there is no ordinance to that effect. Unless some change *Is made this money will have to be car ried on the books and kept In the city treasury forever. A. H. Busch petitioned the board of public works to refund him the unex pended portion of the amount he depos ited to cover the cost of constructing a cement walk on Wilshire boulevard. The amount Is $12.40. but the work was not done to the acceptance of the city engineer's department and the return of the fee was refused until such time as the mistakes in the work were cor rected. The Pioneer Investment and Trust company made a similar petition in connection with private contract work done on Stephenson avenue and Fresno street, but this work was in worse con dition than that complained of on Wil shire boulevard, and the return of the unexpended portion of the fees was re fused. Both these petitions were referred to the city attorney to determine what could be done with the money. « . » — SHERMAN REFUSES TO RESIGN OFFICE Member of Board of Water Commis sioners Gives Impression He Will Fight Removal From Position Contrary to expectations, Gen. M. H. Sherman did not tender his resignation to the mayor or any other public official yesterday, and lt now appears he will stand by the position he assumed at first and fight his removal from office in the courts. He contends he has a right to hold the position of water com missioner and that to resign without testing the matter to Its fullest extent would be quitting under fire, a situation that Gen. Sherman does not relish. The matter of confirming the mayor's removal of Gen. Sherman from the water board was laid over by tho coun cil at its session Tuesday with the Idea of giving the commissioner an oppor tunity to resign. While several members of the coun cil still yesterday they were prepared to vote for the removal at the meeting next week It Is more than likely that the case will be brought before the courts on quo warrantee proceedings,! which will determine the question on : Its legal merits. __._.__■ WORK ON BREAKWATER IS BEING PUSHED RAPIDLY Project to Clean Lagoon of Drifting Sand and Then Protecting It Is Advanced PLAYA DEL REV, July 21.—Work men engaged In dumping rock Into the. sea beneath the long pier are disposing of about three carloads of large boul des each day.

TENT MEMBERS RECEIVE ORDER * . - - * * DAUGHTERS OF VETERANS ENTERTAIN OFFICERS OF STATE DEPART MENT ARE GUESTS Organization of California Division of National Society Is Celebrated at Enjoyable Evening Function. 200 Guests Present Three generations, proud of their connection in action or by birth with the defense of the federal union through the dark days of the civil war, mingled last night at the home of A. J. Wilson, 640 St. Paul avenue, in Joy ous celebration of the founding of tho California department of the Daugh ters of Veterans. The occasion was a reception given by the Jessie Benton Fremont tent to the officers. The tent has existed for more than a year, but tlie California department was founded only last April at the G. A. R. encampment ln Pasadena. More than 200 guests gathered at the residence of Commander Wilson, a number exceeding the expectations of the hostess, his daughter, Mrs. Frances Davenport, and almost exceeding the capacity of the house. Every room was made use of, and all were gaily deco rated, the flag and the national colors predominating everywhere. An address of congratulation to the first department president, Mrs. Lizzie Bell Cross, was delivered by Mrs. Fan nie D. Collins, and Mrs. Cross respond ed. Tho formal program was brief, but the guests found entertainment In abundance. Impromptu dances took place, to the music provided. Light re freshments were served.

FOREST SERVICE IS READY FOR BLAZES NEW METHODS TO COMABT TIMBER FIRES News of Conflagrations Will Be Heliographed—Men with Long. Range Glasses Are Kept on Duty "The forest service is making con tinual progress in protecting against fire," said A. L. Dahl, chief of main tenance of the service, with head quarters at San Francisco, who was in Los Angeles yesterday on his way north from Ban Diego. "A plan which will be made the subject of experiment In the north is that of heliographing signals of fire, which will be of great assistance" where the mountains are not too heavily wooded and where the tele phone service is not so complete as on the reservations near Los Angeles. "By flashing signals as soon as the fir*' is discovered it can be more ef fectually fought. Another plan which has been found to work well Is sta tioning a man where he will have a wide sweep of territory, and keeping him on duty equipped with long range glasses. He is likely to discover a tire within half an hour after it starts, and from his maps showing the topog raphy he can locate it closely. By ping In touch through telephone with the men he can be the means of. quickly checking what might be a dangerous lire." ' The forest service will «ell at San Francisco to the highest bidder within thirty days the timber from 7362 acres in the Mono crater country, near Mono lake liii* timber comprises 40,000 ceils in' yellow and lodgepole pine, for which the Tonopah and Ooldfleld dis tricts are available as markets, as well as .the local inter, in the Mono val ley. * _ __, CITRUS FRUIT REPORT ST.
