NEGRO CHARGED WITH
PEEPING IN WINDOW
Arthur Harrison Arrested by Dep.
uty Sheriff Scott After
. Hard Struggle
Arthur Harrison, 32 years old, a
negro, who is alleged to have been
prowling about the home of Frank
Morris at 734 Ruth avenue, and peep
ing in the windows at night, was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff R. Scott lust
night and booked at the central police
station on a charge of disturbing the
peace. The negro showed fight and It
was necessary to subdue him before
he could be taken Into custody.
Scott was visiting Miss Morris, when
he saw the negro enter the yard and
sneak to a side window and place his
face against the glass. The officer had
been told by the young woman that a
man had been sneaking about the
premises and he was on tin: alert for
the appearance of the disturber. As
soon as his attention was called to tho
negro Scott drew his revolver and fired
twice at the crouching figure. Tho
negro ran to the sidewalk and fell as
'jf wounded. Scott hurried after the
fleeing man and when the latter fell
made him arise and with the aid of
several others who were attracted by
the shots overpowered Harrison and
held him until the patrol wagon ap
peared.
In falling to tb.3 ground the negro
struck his face against a tree and suf
fered a half inch laceration under the
right eye.
After being treated at the receiving
hospital the negro was locked in a cell
and will bo arraigned in police court
this morning.

"The Maid of Manalay," In which
the bank clerks and their friends are
rehearsing under the direction of Harry
Girard, composer of the opera, includes
a fetching little quartet composed of
four girls known as "This and That."
There are two of each name, and the
confusing similarity of the names and
the prettiness of tho girlß who respond
serve to add many amusing Incidents
to the comedy of tho opera.
Miss Sherry Reeves is That. That is
the other half of the pair, This and
That, which will appoar at the bank
ers' show, September 26, at the Audi
torium. Miss Reeves Is now a resident
of Los Angeles and lives in the metrop
olis of Edendale. She has been a pro
fessional worker and began as the
dancing child in "Kerry Gow" with Jo
seph Murphy. She has also been a
member of the Buster Brown company
and has had a wide range of success
ful experience. This and That appear
in "The Maid of Manalay," dressed
in sailor costumes. The part is small
but frothy and warranted not to tax
the thought centers of the audience.
This is Miss Alma Murphy. There
are two casts rehearsing for the bank

September 26 at the Auditorium, and
Miss Murphy is the first half of the

PLAN TO PAVE SLAUSON
AVENUE WITH ASPHALT
Important Thoroughfare pf City
to Be Improved
Plans have just been completed by
the city engineer for the asphalt
pavement of Slauson avenue from
Central to Arlington, nearly the en
tire length of the street within the
city limits.
This willjbe one of the most Im
portant Improvements ever made in
the «outhwest part of the city, but It
has been found necessary because
Slauson, that but a few years ago
was away out in the sagebrush, has
become one of the Important thor
oughfares of the city and probably
the moat important in the southern
part With Die building of the harbor
highway, which is to run down Main
street, Slauson avenue wiil become
even more important us a thorough-i
faro, and the property owners realize
this fact. Thin is but one of the nu
merous improvements that are being
mado on what was formerly the edge
of the city.
Central avenue is to be widened to
eighty feet from Slauson to Nadeau,
and eventually the widening will be
curried to Manchester avenue.
Plans for the paving of Slauson In
clude the handling of storm water on
Slauson as well aa it can be handled
until adequate storm drains can be
constructed, with the exception of the
intersection of Main street. It is pro
posed to pave Main street under
separate proceedings, and the Inter
section of Slauson and Main Ls to be
included In the Main street proceed
ings. This is made necessary by rea
son of the fact that a right of way
must be condemned across the Santa
Fe's tracks.

NEW FUND AVERTS COST
OF ADVERTISING -BIDS
Special Appropriation Permits of
Small Street Repairs Without
Vrooman Act Proceedings
The wisdom of the city council in
setting aside in the budget a fund of
$2000 on which the city engineering de
partment can draw for minor street
repairs is exemplified in a number of
reports made by the city engineer to
the board of public works. In one of
thesa reports Mr. Hamlin asks author
ity to spend just ten little dollars for
eighty square feet of cement sidewalk,
another $25 for a .small amount of curb
opposite Sycamore park and on Ave
nue 18, and anothed for $30 worth of
cement walk. These are all repairs
that property fall on the city and not
on the Individual property owner.
But before this ppeelal fund was
provided It was necessary to go
through regular Vrooman act proceed
ings to construct oven an inch of
sidewalk or curb. The advertisement
and the legal work necessary to pre
pare the ordinance would greatly add
to the cost, and as little jobs of this
nature are not attractive to contract
ors, It was sometimes necessary to ad
vertise several times for bids. Increas
ing the cost every time an advertise
ment was inserted.
When a bid was finally received it
was usually for about twice as much
as the job was actually worth, which,
with the preliminary coats, sometimes
ran the total up to five or six times
the actual value of the work. Had
it been necessary to go through the
usual proceedings for these small jobs
reported by the engineer, the total cost
of the work would probably have been
hundreds of dollars, but the city can
do tho entire work for less than $65
out of the $2000 fund appropriated in
the budget.

PINCHOT DUE AT
MINING CONGRESS
Former Federal Chief Forester Is
Scheduled to Address Con
vention on Conservation
14 GOVERNORS MAY ATTEND
Dismissed Government Official
May Debate Against Congress
man Smith of Bakersfield
One of the most interesting features '
of the approaching convention of tha
American Mining congress in Los An
geles September 26 to October 1, is the
scheduled speech of Gifford Plnchot,
formerly chief forester of the United
States, on "Conservation."
Next to that address interest will
center to a large degree upon the prob
able debate between Pinchot and L.
C. Smith of Bakersfleld, one of Cali
fornia's congressman, on the same sub
ject.
Pinchot is due to arrive. September
12 at Bakersfield, where for three days
he will be the guest of prominent oil
men who will make him acquainted
with their problems and what they
consider their injustices, in the hope
that he, in the alleged position of
official mouthpiece of Theodore Roose
velt, will be enabled to help them.
The men who will meet and greet
Pinchot at Bakersfleld include Con
gressman Ij. C. Smith, George E. Whit
taker, J. M. Dunn and Parker Bar
rett, interested financially in the Lake
viow gusher; E. A. <"Bob") Mont
gomery, Sidney Norman of the Sierra
Madre club, Grant G. Gillette, H. S.
Botsford of the Union Oil company,
L. E. Aubury, state mineralogist, H.
G. Guthrie, Dr. F. J. H. Merrill, S.
C. Graham and T. Spellacy, Demo
cratic candldato for lieutenant gover
nor.
With Mr. Spellacy now In San Fran
cisco is Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans, "Fighting Bob," who is inter
ested in California politics, and who
in all probability will be one of the
committee which will escort Pinchot
through the oil fields of central Cali
fornia, beginning September 12.
COMES AS TRIVATE CITIZEN
i Although the former chief forester,
who is accompanied by his brother on
his present trip to California, is com
ing here merely as a private citizen,
his possible advocacy of the needs of
the oil producers Is expected to re
sult in national legislation in their
favor.
Plnchot will remain In California
until October 1, devoting 1 the time ho
does not give to the oil men and to the
mining congress to fishing at Santa
Catallna and San Clemente Islands.
James F. Callbreath, jr., of Denver,
Colo., secretary of the American Min
ing congress, is expected to reach Los
Angeles some time next week, his com
ing before the opening of the conven
tion being caused by the need for him
to decide upon many final details.
Dr. E. R. Buckley of Missouri, presi
dent of the organization, Is scheduled
to reach Los Angeles September 19, and
many of the delegates appointed by
President Taft, whose names as yet
have not been given to the public, are
expected to arrive about the same time.
D. W. Brunton of Denver, vice presi
dent of the congress, has come to
Southern California, and with his
family Is awaiting the opening of the
convention, passing his time at the
Hotel Virginia, Long Beach.
All arrangements for the coming
meeting of prominent mining men have
not been completed, but It has been
settled that the day sessions of the
congress shall be held in the Aud
itorium and that the night meetings
shall be conducted in either Simpson
or the Shrine auditorium.
EXPECT FOURTEEN GOVERNORS
No fewer than fourteen governors of
western states are expected to attend
the convention, and in their honor Sep
tember 27 has been set aside and
labeled "governors' day." On that day
the governors will meet the mining,
coal and oil men who attend the con
gress in an effort to harmonize diver
gent ideas concerning conservation
laws and subjects of similar mutual In
terest.
The Sierra Madre club, which is
sponsor for the coming convention of
the congress, has selected the Hotel
Alexandria as the official headquarters,
but as the delegates are expected to
number from 3500 to 6000 all of the
other prominent hotels in the city
probably will have their quota of
guests who come to attend the con
gress.
The congress will convene Monday
morning, September 26, at 10 o'clock,
the day being devoted to formal wel
comes and the shaping of the week's
work. In the evening the chamber of
commerce will give a reception to the
delegates and visitors.
A reception will be tendered the pres
ident of the congress Tuesday evening
at the official headquarters, the Hotel
Alexandria. Women of the Sierra
Madre club will tender a stag recep
tion to the visiting delegates.
Saturday's morning session, the last
one of the convention, will take a re
cess at 11 o'clock, the members, dele
gates and visitors to reassemble, with
their families, at 12:30 o'clock, after
luncheon, to take cars foe Long Beach
for an afternoon's gambol. A dance at
the Hotel Virginia will end the thir- 1
teenth annual convention of the con
gress. MAN CLVTAMXA TIUP
PLAN OATAMNA TRIP
On Sunday morning a trip to Cata
lina is arranged. Following the trip to
Catalina island no effort will be made
to direct the movements of the dele
gates, but it is expected that they will
remain in Southern California for sev
eral weeks, visiting the wonder spots
which lie all about the City of the
Angels.
The chamber of mines will co-ope
rate with the Sierra Madre club In
making the convention a success, and
all efforts will be made to find a remedy
for the near-stagnation of the mining,
coal and oil Industries in some states.
Radical departures from the tradi
tions of former congress conventions
will be made, debates and remedies
taking the place of reading of papers,
and subjects of vital national and local
Importance will be substituted for mere
theories on mining.

There will be no more burials at sea

form In what they designate as a
"practice too barbarous for this twen

The State Association of Embalmers

'PAL OF SETH BULLOCK'
FAILS TO REACH TEDDY
Secretary Declines to Present
Cowboy to Colonel
CHICAGO, Sept. 9.—A man about 65
years old, giving the name of W. W.
Burnham and having the appearance of
a cowboy, gave the house detectives
and police on duty at the Hamilton'club
banquet tn the gold room of the Con
gress hotel last night some anxiety by
his endeavors to see "My friend Teddy."
"I am a pal of Seth Bullock," he told
Clerk Ernest Reuhl, "and must have
my card sent right up^o Teddy Roose
velt. He will see me, all right. Here's
the card; now beat it, boys."
On the card was written "W. W.
Burnham," and underneath he had
scrawled: "Just one minute, Teddy."
The card was taken to Secretary
Norton, and Mr. Burnham got no near
er than that to the colonel.
"Plain bug," said Clerk Reuhl. "But
maybe he did know the colonel at that."
