M. H. FLINT MAY
RESIGN OFFICE
AS POSTMASTER
WORK AS BANKER BECOMES
MORE ARDUOUS
SAYS IS CONSIDERING QUITTING
FEDERAL JOB
As Vice t resident of Big Financial In
stitution He Thinks He Has
Too Many Duties for
One Man
' Owing to the increased amount of
work .nine I. a with his posltio
Ident of the Los Angeles Bank
and Trust company, Motley H. Flint,
postmaster of Los Angeles, is consid
ering- resigning his position and d( vot
ing his entire time to the bank's af
falrs.
Since December of last year when the
.Metropolitan Bank and Trust company
consolidated with the Los An
geles Bank and Trust company, the
bank's business has nearly doubled
and consequently required more of Mr.
Flint's time as an official of the in
stitution.
Mr. Flint, In speaking of resigning
from his government position. said,
"Both the bank and the postofHce an
large institutions and require a gr at
. of my time. The bank's business
is greatly enlarged and the Ban
true of the postofflce. If I retain them
both I would feel as though I would
have to shirk the duties of one or the
other, and that I will not do. If I
cannot give each position the personal
attention which it deserves, I will give
up one of them, and If that is found
necessary, the postofflce will be the
one. The matter needs careful con
sideration before being- acted upon and
I intend to consider it very carefully
before handing in my resignation.
"If I rind that I can devote all the
time which the two positions require
of me, I will not resign, but if I find
that I am not doing my duties in one
or the other, I will certainly r sign."
BANK'S SUSPENSION
SURPRISE TO MANY
Institution Closes at Evansville, Ind.,
but Depositors Expect to Be
Paid in Full —Loans De.
dared Weak
F.VAXSVILLE, Ind.. Jan. I,.—An
nouncement today that the Citizens'
National bank would be suspended
temporarily pending an Investigation
into the affairs by National Bank In
spector J. C. Johnson of Indiana,
astonished thousands who had implicit
confidence in the institution.
Two plain statements of the exami
ner made in advance of the opening
today, sc wed somewhat to allay alarm
and' then? was no demonstration
around the bank doors by depositors.
The $1,400,000 or private money In
the bank included large commercial
deposits besides probably as many
small accounts as any national bank
in the city.
Examiner Johnson said he was un
prepared to give data on the condi
tion of the bank, but he hoped condi
tions would be such that the deposi
tors could be paid in full.
This same hope is offered in the
brief notice posted by the directors
on the bank doors. It is known that
out of the $1,200,000 outstanding in
loans there is a considerable propor
tion of credit that is weak, but just
how much is a question.
Individual loans in excess of $50,000
the first suspicion of the ex
aminer. It is .said that President S. C.
Gillett has borrowed to that extent,
but he has made over personal prop
erty to indemlfy the bank. So far as
known there is nothing criminal In

New Drama at Belasco;
Road Show at Orpheum
W. HERBERT BLAKE
11 OR three acts last night at the
1 Belasco we sympathized with a
husband brought to the brink of
bankruptcy by till wife's ungovernable
extravagance. Then, with the unex
pectedness of .1 bolt from the blue, the
playwright forfeited our sympathy, and
that by the only really dramatic situ
ation in his play. To repair her mis
chief the wife has borrowed $20,000
from a man about town. It is an act
of criminal folly rather than faithless
Intent. This is proved by the childish
way in which she attempts to deceive
her husband as to the source from
which she obtained the loan, Her
every subterfuge is shattered, and at
last the husband knows the truth, but
suspects there is more hidden front
him. To test his fears, he bids her
summon the man who has lent her the
money to her room, telling him she is
alone. In tears and with protests, she
obeys.
Then ensues a scene of utter and use
less brutality. From the sneering lips
of the other man the husband learns
that his wife has spoken the truth, and
with the assurance receives some
gratuitously .insulting advice as to his
future conduct. The husband lets the
other go at the end of the conference,
and after -i scene of tearful pleading
forgives his wife and they start anew.
It is a sincere and a thoughtful play,
tremendously and interestingly talky.
Porter Emerson Brown wrote it and
called It first "Waste." then "The
Spendthrift." Under the latter name
the Belasco stock company accorded
it Its first production on any stage,
and an excellent one. That li fails to
convince one at the very point where
conviction is essential, is no fault of
theirs Nor is it the fault of the play
wright's idea, which is that of the
reckless extravagance of the Ameri
can woman. With the poison of this
prodigality every one who meets the
wife of Richard Ward is subtly sat
urated. It brings the husband face to
face with ruin and the wife herself
perilously near to dishonor. It is a
vital theme, the sort of thing people
talk about as they leave the Playhouse
and go home to discuss with then
ta£ke e the defeat of Lily Bart in "The
House of Mirth." the waste of Frances
Ward is the defect of her B™slty.
and this it is which gives the first
three acts, for all their clever inciden
tal comedy, the color and east of gen
uine tragedy. We see the woman
struggling, feebly, but very really, to
grasp .he truth of her situation, and
then relentlessly succumbing to the
false and momentary glamor of Her
precarious social position.
For a play almost devoid of situa
tions, in the customary sense •The
Spendthrift" maintains the interest
surprisingly well. Its beginning Is ex
ceedingly weak. The early conversa
tion fails to disclose In any way the
in" motif of the plot, which we are
left for some time to shrewdly infer
from the title. But the second and the :
third acts, full of repetitions ana sim
ple domestic details as they are, are
yet thoroughly human. in the hands
of Lewis 3. Stone and Miss Thais Ma
gran, the crisis of a man's dealings
with the woman he has love,!, not
too well but too unwisely, is mac to
seem a real and vital thing Applause
cam last night in the midst of the
most ordinary conversation. The real
action was subjective—in the minds of
the audience, ,
But the fourth act, as at present
written, is fatal to our sympathies,
if not our interest. That the husband
should and must be his wife's Judge,
none will deny. But that he should
wantonly permit her to listen to the
language of her own disgraceful ex
oneration from the lips of the man
who himself scornfully declares her
merely a fool, and not faithless—this
la too much. And then to allow this
man to heap insult upon injury, with
no move of resistance, this is a ven
gtrnree which is too fiendish and too
theatrically studied to bear the test
of either justice or manly decency. In
stantly we begin to pity the wife, and
this is fatal to the scheme of the play
wright, which is obviously to monopo
lize that emotion for the husband.
in the supporting cast Mr. Yen
End Mr Vivian do their usual excel
lent work, and Mr. Scott is a sleek and
purring gentleman- rake. Miss Tay
lor is gradually overcoming her early
mannerisms Of voice and gesture and
is easily the most tastefully dressed
ycung woman on the local stage. Miss
Lewis adds an excellent impersonation
to her long list as the old aunt who
lena the heroine much of the money
which she squanders. Mr. Giblyn and
Kiss Gardner assume the smaller roles.
Owing to the Illness of Chr.rles J.

Zrrh indelaar.
The Hugranl violation of the law lias

officials allowed 25eehandelaar'n men to
. ontinue the shameful traffli .
A llci nse to sell liquor under the res
taurant clause was IsHUed to F. J. Zee
handelanr. This clause, which la known
as section -n. gives tHe right to ■■ 11 li
qll. m wil h mctlls. It leads:
"Hotel-keepers and n si.uir.-mt pro
prietors who are engaged In the res
taurant buslm -s In s 1 ruith shall
procure a license for selling, giving
away or furnishing I" their guests, In
connection with their meuls, and t" be
drunk In the dining room when eating
their meals, and at no other linn or
place, vinous, malt or Bplrituous
liquors."
rjndei the la a a n <tnuranl ;: defined
as "a place where hot meala are served
at a t;i»)h- in a dining room, In "huh

That liquor was sold in violation and
defiance of the law is known to 10,000
persons who w itn.-ss.-.l it Sunday ana
.Monday. While this Illegal traffic was
in full swing over a hundred deputy
sh.'riffs were on the grounds and at
the gates. Some of these deputies
were in the grandstand every hour
while this violation of Hi law was in
progress. No effort was made to
stop it. „ .
Peddlers with baskets swung to their
arms passed through the throng nt
spectators holding out pint bottles ot
whisky and bottles of beer. These men
cried their wares and Bought from
time to time to draw a laugh from the
coarser element by some cheap Jibe at
the expense of refined persons seeking
their Beats in boxes.
Sunday afternoon one of the blatant
venders was holding a tlask of liquor
in the faces of a party ot men and
women who Bought to enter then- box
on the front row. Within two yards
Btood Mr. Zeehandelaar. The "restau
rant" keeper did not seem to hear the
man's raucous cries. He was appar
ently too much occupied in revoking
the lie.use of an itinerant seller of an
■ autic magazine who had Incurred
his displeasure, With a growl be tore
the man's sign down from his stand
and ord-red one of tin- red-ribboned
deputy sheriffs to eject the magazine
seller from the grounds.
Mr. Zeehandelaar's "restaurant" is
situated in a convenient spot Just back
of the grandstand. Men ami women
must pass it going to the lavatories. In
front of a rude wooden bar with a bit
of canvas propped up on sticks stand
at times two or three dozen men drink
ing beer and whisky. On Sunday

A Clean Man i
Outside cleanliness is less than half the battle. A m«n may jBS ' j^^
scrub himself a dozen times a day, and still he unclean. Good Mtti '.I^N^
health means cleanliness not (inly outside, but inside. It means JspEf '■ 'KJw
a clean stomach, clean bowels, clean blood, a clean liver, and M{ fff'-ir-^Tar
new, clean, healthy tissues. The man who is clean in this way ,y* few j\*Hf
will look it and act it. He will work with energy and think ' f~m Vl-'.fil
clean, clear, healthy thoughts. E|jf;'K
He will never be troubled with liver, lung, stomach or blood *^ftj:;jlp\
disorders. Dyspepsia and indigestion originate in unclean stom- ltd ji../
achs. Blood diseases are found where there is unclean blood. * '
Consumption and bronchitis mean unclean lungs.
Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
prevents these diseases. It makes a man's insides clean
and healthy. It cleans the digestive organs, makes pure,
clean blood, and clean, healthy flesh.
It restores tone to the nervous system, and cures nervous exhaustion *n4
prostration. It contains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs.
Constipation is the most unclean uncleanliness. Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pel
lets cure it. They never gripe. Easy to take as candy.
