YOUNG CURZON'S DOWNFALL DUE TO HIGHBALLS NEPHEW OF LATE LORD EARNS PRISON SENTENCE PENALTY LATER REDUCED TO COUNTY JAIL PERIOD Receipt of Inheritance Marks Start of Gay Life and $15,000 Is Squandered In Short Time Arthur Curzon, nephew of the late Lord Wiley Curzon of England, who waa murdered by an Indian student In London several months ago, was sen- i tenced to two years in Folsom peni tentiary by Judge Willis of the crimi nal court yesterday. A few hours later the penalty was changed to imprison- j merit in tho county jail for six months. | curzon, after his departure from England, traveled through Canada to British Columbia, where ho lived sev eral months before coming to Califor nia While In San Francisco he re ,-ived an inheritance of $15,000 from !,is uncle's estate, and immediately nnbarked on a gay life, running through the money in a few weeks. Those in charge of the English estate, learning- of Curzon's extravagance and manner of living, refused to send further large sums of money, and since his San Francisco experience he has been receiving an allowance of $20 to $22 a month. This money, for the most part, it is said, has been spent for in toxicants. Fond of Highballs The drinks most highly appreciated by Curzon were alcohol highballs, to the use of which he Is said to have be come strongly attached after his arrival in LOS Angeles. It was while under the influence of several imbibations of I his liquid— a mixture of alcohol and water-that he took a watch from a friend named Joe Davidson November fi Curzon was arrested on a charge of srand larceny, but was released on pro bation by Judge Willis about three weeks ago, after pleading guilty to a charge of petty larceny, a misdemeanor. "The watch was a cheap one,' said Deputy District Attorney North yester day "and I did not oppose the plea of guilty to the lesser charge, because I feared the English law might cut Cur ?.on off from his inheritance if he was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony." Promised to Go to Work Curzon, when released, promised .Tudgo Willis he would go to work on :< ranch. He did so, remaining a week, when he returned to lios Angeles and again became merry over the simple brew which had before caused his t rouble. He was arrested December 22, ac cused of violating his probation by the purloining of an overcoat belonging to n Japanese, and because he drank too much alcohol and water. When he ap peared before Judge Willis yesterday he was sentenced to two years In Fol som penitentiary. Later It was discov ered that the charge to which Curzon had pleaded guilty was a misdemeanor and In the afternoon Judge Willis changed the sentence to a term of six months in the county Jail. SAYS VAUDEVILLE SKETCH DROVE WOMAN TO CRIME A well played sketch on the vaude ville stage in which a woman purloined everything in sight and escaped detec tion was the Influence that caused Rosa Buser, alias Mary Moll, the "woman Raffles," to abandon a life of rectitude and embark on a short-lived career of crime, according to the story told by her to her attorney, George F. McCul lough, and which, it Is believed, she will repeat when her case is heard linally In Judge Davis' criminal court. The woman was arraigned in Judge Davis' court yesterday on a charge of burglary, for the alleged theft of a number of articles of jewelry from the home of Frederick Nelson Novem ber 26. Whether she will admit or deny her guilt will be known January 12. when she again appears to plead to the charge. "I believe the woman is a victim of the power of suggestion," said her at torney yesterday. "Incidentally 1 bo lleve she is mentally unbalanced. She tells me the first time the desire to commit burglary entered her mind was when she attended a matinee at a local vaudeville house and saw an actress mystify any number of detectives by the manner in which she hid all traces of her thefts. Miss Buser thought she . nuld do as well, and tried it," Big Eastern firm to , Locate at 328 S.

PIERPONV MORGAN MORGAN PLANS VAST MERGERS FIRM SOON MAY CONTROL IMMENSE WEALTH PLANS FUTURE CONSOLIDATIONS ON HUGE SCALE Reports in Wall Street Indicate That Great Financier Will Manipulate $210,000,000 in Deposits, if Scheme Carries - [Associated Press] NEW YORK, Jan. 4.— Plerpont Morgan and associates may control, through further trust company merg ers in New York, the enormous sum of $210,000,000 in deposits alone. This is approximately $25,000,000 more than the deposits of the National City bank of this city, the largest financial in stitution in the- United States. , Reports of additional trust company consolidations are given credence in view of yesterday's announcement of the merger by J. P. Morgan & Co. of the Guaranty Trust, Norton Trust and Fifth Avenue Trust companies, with combined deposits of about $150,000,000. This brought a revival in the finan cial rumors embracing the Bankers' Trust and the Manhattan Trust com- panics in the same combination. There were definite reports that the Mer cantile Trust company and the Equit able Trust company eventually would he taken into some sort of a powerful alliance. In point of fact the Bankers Trust company Is closely affiliated with the so-called Morgan interests, in that two partners in the Morgan banking house —George W. Perkins and Henry P. Davison—sit In the directorate of the former. Directors of Company Other directors of the Bankers' Trust company, including A. B. Hepburn and A. H. Wiggin, president and vice president, respectively, of the Chase National bank, and William H. Porter, president of the Chemical National bank, are active in affairs of the Guar anty Trust company, which is to be made the titular head of the Guaran ty-Morton-Fifth Avenue consolidation. Relations between the Morgan in terests und the Manhattan Trust com pany always have been intimate, though the latter is not regarded as a Morgan appendage. It is perhaps sig nificant that the building now occupied by the Manhattan Trust company Is to be razed soon to make way for a thirty-story building to be erected by the. Bankers' Trust company. Deposits of the Bankers' Trust com pany aggregate $46,500,000 and those of the Manhattan Trust company $13, --400,000. so that the two companies, if combined with those now in process of absorption by J. P. Morgan and as sociates, would total in deposits more than $200,000,000. National banking interests do not look with uniform favor on the in crease in trust company power. It was pointed out today that inas much at the law makes it possible for the trust companies to hold stocks and to enjoy other advantages forbidden to national banks, it would be possible for the larger companies to take up many underwriting propositions which lar^e hanks cf Wall street found it inexpedient to handle. COLLEGE TEACHERS HAVE TO HUSTLE "SIDE WORK" Eighty Per Cent of University Assist. ants Hold Other Jobs to Earn Living MADISON, Wil., Jan. 4.—Eighty per cent of the assistant professors in American universities must supple ment their salaries by outside work in order to "make both ends meet." They receive, on an average, just enough to suffice for an unmarried man, yet 74 per cent of them are mar ried and have families to support. These and other statistics were con tained in a paper by Prof. Guideo Marx of the engineering college of Stanford university which was read before the Association of American Universities convention at the Uni versity of Wisconsin today. In the absence of Professor Marx, the paper was read by Prof. H. C. Huberich of Stanford law school. "The rapid increase in the cost of living has made the situation of the assistant professor acute," concluded the paper. WOMAN IN EVENING GOWN SERVES LEGAL DOCUMENT Female Deputy Sheriff in Illinois Leaves Society Function to At. tend to Business NASHVILLE, 111., Jan. 4.—A Nash ville woman, the only woman deputy sheriff in Illinois, attired in evening gown, after midnight served the legal papers drawn by a deputy woman cir cuit clerk that will have an important bearing on legal differences existing in the management of a coal company. Mrs. A. A. Cohlmeyer, wife of the sheriff, and his deputy, was at a so ciety function. An official of the court appeared with injunction papers. To serve them was imperative and Sheriff Cohlmeyer was out of the city. Mis. Cohlmeyer made her excuses, threw a cloak over her decolette cos tume and entering her buggy, faced the cold night wind for a three-mile drive to the home of the man lOUght.

'FATHER'S LOVE' SEEN AT MASON POWERFUL TRAGEDY IS GIVEN BY YIDDISH PLAYERS ACTING OF DAVID LEVENSOHN IS VIRILE AND ORIGINAL :Well Balanced Vaudeville Bill Is Pre. sented by Sullivan & Considine at the Los Angeles Theater "Father* Lot*," a, Yiddish tragedy In (our acts, played at the Mason Opera bouse Tui's.lay evening, January 4, 1910. THE CAST I ■..man David Ivevensohu Sophie, his wife Mrs. Krohner Rosa, their child Miss Rosa Harp l>r. Kilrlman Mr. Krohner Zudek Kick Mr. Wetastock (l)Biiii, ,liltt brother Mr. IJansky >i ax Mr. Freeman Esterel Mlbs B. Weinman Clialele Miss Annie iShain Policeman Mr. llochstrln Exalting/ melodrama to the lofty -plane of true tragedy, the Edwin A. Relkin players last night'staged the second play of their repertoire at the Mason—a poignant story of a father who returns from prison exile tp*flnd too late the wife and child of whom circumstances had bereft him. A sec ond love affair with a physician who has befriended her makes reconcilia tion with the husband difficult, and the fact that his offense has been the kill ins of the wife's father in self-defense adds an insuperable bar to the situa- I tion. In the last act the baffled man ends his life, after revealing to his daughter her parentage. it is a powerful drama, for whose literary lineage we must look farther back even than the old Greek tragedies, which it resembles in some measure. It is the spirit of an ancient race which cries for deliverance in the cumulative rout and ruin of Herman, and the drama is in many respects allegorical of the struggle of that race for the hap piness which too often In their heroic history has seemed denied them. Following the action by the clew of its own eloquence and a limited knowl edge of German, the present reviewer was struck by the close adherence of David L,evensohn, in the leading role, to the tradition of the elder American school of Booth and his contempora ries. Here was a frank revival of that virile and ingenuous dramatic method which once made the American drama a power to be reckoned with In the world's art. Particularly vivid was the portrayal of the scene in which the returned father first suspects the iden tity of his daughter. In a manner rad ically different from the method of Warfield, Mr. Levensohn visualized the same basic human emotion. The words he spoke might be foreign to an untutored ear, but the language was that of the heart, which is universal. Miss Rosa Karp assumed the role of the daughter with marked emotional power. The work of several supporting players in comedy roles lent much charm to an impersonation frequently enlivened by musical and dancing: specialties. With the spontaneity which was a marked feature of both players and audience, the scenes shifted from grave to Ray, from the simply tragic to the ludicrously simple. The audience responded swiftly at each transformation, apparently feeling no difficulty in the transitions. An In teresting feature was the keen feeling of the gallery for the artistic propri eties. Once when irrepressible ap plause interrupted a scene of emo tional power the warning hiss arose. It was the natural demand that the play be allowed to take its course, regardless of personal enthusiasm for individuals, 'nd it was promptly heeded. The Hebrews of Los Angeles have greeted the Relkin players with such gratifying enthusiasm that a prolon gation of their stay through Thurs day and Friday is a probability. To night the play will be "The Green Woman.'' ■ • • Soon after the production of "The Idol' 9 Eye," which will follow "San Toy" at the Orand opera house, Ferris Hartman and his company will revive "Woodland." This piece was one of the biggest productions ever made by Henry W. Savage. For the local pro duction the original costumes will be shipped to Los Angeles from the Sav age studios, while the production itself will be built direct from the Savage models. This will be the first of a ser j es o f late musical successes to which Mr. Hartman has just obtained the rights. "The White Chrysantho mum" will be among these. A confirmed cynic would grow dim ples it" benevolently compelled to see the new bill at the Los Angeles this week. Any mere critic can Hnd but two serious faults with it; there is scant chance for disparagement, and not the slightest opportunity for a nap. It is the most evenly balanced bill I ever re member seeing in the local Sullivan & Conslcline house. There is no head- Hner, but everybody fills in the chinks right loyally. .Max Duffek starts things right oft. Max is a musical contortionist who pre fers to exude arias and sonatas while twisted into the shape of various fa miliar letters of the alphabet. Finally he bends backward, in the form of a classic arch,'his feet and head on the stage and a pained but resolute stage hand standing firmly on the lower but ton of his vest. In the meantime Max plays an inspiring tune. Bradlee Martin has an inspiring laugh which might be located some where between a blat and a cackle, and which adorns his impersonation of a doting but miserly father trying to marry off his son with as little expense as possible. The son's fiancee comes on the scene to help raise the needed dowry for his father-in-law to be. She succeeds after a series of boisterously funny interviews with the old man, in which she makes him propose to her and then releases him on the promise of a substantial sum to start the young couple handsomely in life. The inter play of character is excellent and the acting rapid and spirited. But for the absence of a program—the one trifll-ig defect in Manager Bovyer's capable management—l should be glad to give credit where credit Is due. Crimmins and Gore—a tall actress of classic features and obvious talent and a, short actor of diverting comedy method— appear In a Bowery restaurant sketch. There is much rough and tum ble slang and several clever if hasty transformations in character. The woman member of the team concludes the act with a modern parody of An tony's speech over the bier of Caesar. Once more Shakespeare enters by the back door and gets a hearty welcome from the gallery. Then come the Five Lovelands In a refined and artistic instrumental act which reflects both good taste ami real, unpretentious musical merit. Se lections showing- a wide catholicity of taste are played and the artists display y^N(^vJ Another Grand Rush for fPlil f^^^^mCoats and Suits^tt \ a* Half Price Wm WT*L-J§r*~'^ Blue Broadcloth Is Leading Favorite $Wjfgk% .

Billy Clark is a minstrel monologist who concludes his turn with an old song given a divertingly original quirk and twist by the singer's friendly bout with the orchestra. It was Director Peterson's initiation into this sort of thins and he bore its strain bravely. Most of Clark's jokes are fairly new, although the pun on "di-gest yet" goes back in my memory too far to locate with any sense of personal decency. The concluding specialty is offered by Mile.

Personality counts for more in gymnastics than most of us realize and Mile.

Following a request from John Black wood and to permit Mr. Blackwood to carry out his plan oC presenting in Irf>s Angeles a season of Broadhurst plays, Oliver Mproseo has released Burbank theater contracts which he held for "What Happened to Jones*" "Why Smith Left Home" and "The East erner," all three of which are thus made available fur the use of Mr. Blackwood and his company locally. Lovell Alice Taylor of the Burbank i slock company has taken up a new ] fad. Miss Taylor is studying the lan- | guage of the Digger Indian. She be came interested a fortnight ago when she employed a Digger dressmaker l<> make the costume .-in- wears this week as the Indian squaw in "The Girl of I the Golden West." At first, the lan guage seemed only a succession of un intelligible grunts; gradually, however, the actress became able to distinguish I a few words.

Miss Taylor knows her <I) lendorff, but she says that knowledge | 1m of little us.' in learning Indian.

There will be a professional matinee of "Forty-five -Minutes from Broad way" at the Majestic theater this af-1 ternoon, Miss Ethel yon Waldron will make her debut as ingenue of the Burbank stock company in the role of Nanny Mac Nair in "The Heart of Maryland" next week. "THE SHERIFF" PUT ON AT UNIQUE THEATER "The Rival of Jeffries" Is at Last Dis covered at Fischer's Play, house "The sheriff," in which the Earl- Rauworth players are seen at the Unique this week, is ;i wholesome melo drama of the Kentucky hills and is re plete with situations which keep the audience keyed up till the flnaj curtain. It is, perhaps, the most popular play in which the Karl company has yet been seen, and has many incidents to commend it to lovers of melodrama. The stage crew has done well with the scenic poMlbilltlaa. Harry Earl, Oraoe Rauworth, Herbert Cramer, James Spencer, Frederick Palmer, I.elia Noel, Delia Barle and Anna Robinson are all well cast and Blve acceptable Interpre tation! >>t tln'ir respective roles. Be tween the acts an illustrated song and motion pictures lill in the time while the stage settings are being shifted. "The Rival of Jeffries," the musical farce being presented by the Fischer company this week, is regarded by many observers as the funniest thing the company has yet undertaken. Billy Onslow, in the part of O'Reilly, who volunteers to tight one "Bulldog" Rea gan, ably played by Esco Ives, has the best comedy role he has yet assumed and gets much laughter out of it. A feature of the play is the burlesque boxing match seen at the end of the act. Onslow and Ives, although getting most of the laughs, have to share their honors with the other members of the company who lend material aid in mak ing the piece a success. Frank Morton is cast as Sam Berger and plays his part in an able manner. Miss Bauman as Mrs. Qilhooley and Miss Helperin as her daughter please the audience. The plot of the piece is hardly noticeable, but its occasional absence allows a change for the introduction of pleasing specialty and musical numbers. The chorus shows thorough drilling and is seen to excellent advantage. "Do you ever think ," in reflective mood He began—hut hlfl question slid To the realm of silence.
