The electric lights In the offices were burning: full and there was also a light in Mr. Trump's "den," the door of which stood partly open. The young women at once suspected burglary.

TO GIVE PAINE'S SHOW TO INSURE ELKS 7 FUND Magnificent Spectacle to Be Presented to Help Raise Entertainment Money In choosing a vehicle to assist raising the entertainment fund, and particularly tho fund for the illumination of the streets during the B. P. O. E. convention in July, the local Elks have secured a magnificent production and enchanting exhibition of Paine's pyrotechnic and spectacular producand the carnival at Naples, to be given at Fiesta park the entire week of May 24, at popular prices.

This is to be the first annual festival of the Elks, and from the reports which come from New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston and the entire east, the local boys have secured something entirely beyond the ordinary. Manager Paine, both in America and Europe, has always given the public the most costly and most elaborate displays that have ever been produced in the line of outdoor spectacles, and Vesuvius is a spectacle vastly superior to any of his other productions. Those who have witnessed one of the big Paine shows will find the experience novel and enjoyable. They are so unlike anything else in the amusement line, vast and expensive in their scope, consisting of a kaleidoscope of acres of painted scenery, hundreds of gayly costumed performers, chariot racing, acrobats, bewitching dancers, stirring music, gorgeous pageants, glaring lights and generous explosions of powder, and a myriad of marvelously beautiful pyrotechnics. The exposition is an interesting one, depicting one of the most tragic episodes In Roman history, the destruction of ancient Pompeii by the volcano of Vesuvius, closing with a brilliant display of Paine's Manhattan Beach fireworks, lasting for more than an hour.

TELEPHONE RATE TO BE INCREASED COMPANY LOOKS FOR CONTEST IN COURTS HOME CONCERN THINKS THAT CHARGES ARE TOO LOW Will Attack Referendum, Not as Insti. tutlon of Government or on Consti. tutlonal Grounds, but on Fixing Fees Rotes for Home telephone service will be Increased to such subscribers as tho telephone company thinks should pay a higher rate, in spite of the referenum petition filed last Tuesday evening. This decision has been reached by the Home Telephone company attci- duo deliberation 1, and anyone who objects can i "ntest the matter in the courts.

In fact contest in the courts is what the telephone company Is seeking, it will attack the referendum on tho ground the council in fixing the rates was acting In a judicial capacity and not in a legislative manner and that the referendum, to suspend the operation of the ordinance fixing the rate, can have no effect on the judicial decision of the council that the rate should be Increased. No effort will be made to attack the referendum as an institution of government or on constitutional grounds, but only as it specifically applies to the rate fixing matter. The council is required by law to fix the rates etch year that may be charged by the public utility companies. weeks ago the council fixed the rate for electric light at 9 cents a kilowatt hour, for gas at SO cents a thousand feet and for telephones made a sliding scale, according to the kind of service given. Unlimited business phones were fixed at $5 a month and unlimited residence phones at $3 a month.

For phones limited to a certain number of calls a month other rates are fixed. This rate has been substantially the same for several years and the only difference between the rates this year and those existing formerly was that the unlimited residence service for the Home company was increased from $2 a month to $3. This is the rate that the Pacific States company has been permitted to charge for several years. Believes in Equal Charges a majority of the council believed the Home company should be permitted to charge as much the Pacific States. Councllmen Tonkin, Dromgold and Wren dissented from this opinion, but the other six members of the council favored it.

Before the council agreed to raise the rate for the Home company A. president of the company, filed a statement in writing with the council that not more than 10 per cent of the residence phones would be increased to the higher rates and the increase would be effective only in apartment houees and other places of similar nature where the phones are used extensively. Councilman Wallace told Mr. Cam that if this agreement should be broken he would be the first one to vote for a reduction to the old rate. Following the judicial decision of the council on the matter of rates an ordinance was passed with the intent of making the new rates law.

Before the ordinance could be operative and the new rates do not go into effect until June 1 a referendum petition was filed with the intent of suspending the operation of the ordinance. The city clerk is checking up the signatures on this petition and expects to be able to report the result to the council Tuesday. The referendum demands that the orrUnance passed by the council shall he submitted to a vote of the people. The council has the right to call a special election or pass the matter over to the next municipal election. The latter action probably will be taken, as there are two other referendum matters held for the municipal election in December.

WILL FORM OPTIMIST CLUB IN LOS ANGELES NATIONAL ORGANIZATION TO HAVE BRANCH Mrs. Bertha Hirsch Baruch, Officer.at. Large for Pacific Coast, Will Start Movement in the West Mrs. Bertha Hirsch Baruch of Los Angeles has been chosen optimist-atlarge for the Pacific coast and will organize a branch of the Optimist club of America in this city. The Optimist club whs organized two years ago in New York and had for its purpu.se tho giving of encouragement in the business world and restoration of confidence.

Andrew Carnegie was recently elected president, or optimist-at-large for the entire'country, an honor which ho readily accepted. Tho club's motto may be epitomized in the two lines of a four-line verse, as follows: The pees thn doughnut, The pessimist tho hole. Mrs. Baruch is the third woman to be elected to offieo in the club, the being Mrs. William Howard Taft, wife of President Taft, and Mrs.

Spencer Traak of Saratoga, N. Y. The organization has a membership of 250,000. The Pacific coast branch will be located in Los Angeles. WILL CONSIDER PURCHASE OF ROCK FOR GOOD ROADS Board of Supervisors to Select Local.

ity from Which to Obtain Stones Two propositions for the furnishing of rock to be used on the good roads will be taken by the board of supi rvisors Monday and a decision is expected to be reached that day. One plan is to purchase eighty acres of rock land in San Dimas canyon, obtainable for $3000. The other is to take from a ouurry located a short distance of Glendale, ami offered free for use in the first experimental twenty-five miles of road work and at a royalty of 3 cents a ton for the remaining 284 miles of the new highway system. The Olendale quarry Is said to be more easy of acceu than that In San Dimas canyon, and In addition ownera of the former have offered special inducements the way of providing for transportation. CITIZENS PRAISE REFORM LEAGUE LETTER WRITERS LAUD GOOD GOVERNMENT IDEA MANY EXPRESS DESIRE TO JOIN MOVEMENT k.

Secretary of Recently Formed Organ. ization Receives Encouragement and Numerous Names for Membership Luclan J. Clarke, secretary of the good government organisation, which' is designed to be a federation of precinct and ward good government clubs, has received many letters commending the movement. "The. tone of these letters is very encouraging and reassuring," said Mr.

Clarke yesterday afternoon. "It is an evidence of civic pride on the part of business and professional men, and I can add the names of artisans to list tOO, and la augurs well for the future welfare of the city In so far as the of persona placed ra public positions are concernea. The tone of the letters coming to this office Indicate the popularity of the movement." The tenor of the letters received by Mr. Clarke is nearly the same, the movement being approved by the writers all of whom desire to bo enlisted in the cause. It will suffice to give one of the letters, which fairly reflects the sentiment of all of the numerous i munications received by Mr.

Clarke. This letter reads as follows: Removes Doubt from Voters "My Dear Sir: "Believing- in the 'recall' us it has been exemplified in this city recently, and believing more strongly that active work should be kept up nil the year round instead of spasmodically at election times, I desire to be enrolled for the cause along With those who met at Blanchard hall on the 3d instant. "Let abuses be attacked whenever and wherever fouml until confidence is restored and until the doubtful voter will know where to place his vote for the permanent Rood of the city ani county as a whole. One trouble of the past has been the uncertainty in the voter's mind in whom to place trust. Let the Good Government club show unmistakably who can be trusted.

Let those who represent it prove by actions that they are to be trusted. Let it 166 that those whom it has now placed in power make a record that shall stan 1 for something when the voter is balancing in his own mind the books of the parties who will appeal to him In the next election. All the words of the English language will not a.vail the party in power if its representatives in power have not made good. For a continuation 1 of the good work I am with you." TRACT SOUGHT FOR PLAYGROUND PARK COUNCIL ASKED TO CONDEMN LAND FOR CHILDREN Petition Filed Seeks Area In Sixth Ward to Be Used for Recreation, as There Is None Near That Section With the signature of Governor Gillett scarcely dry on the new park law, tho Sixth Ward Improvement associatlodn yesterday filed a petition with the city clerk asking the council to condemn land in the Sixth ward for park purpose! and asaesi the cost to the territory entirely bounded by the Imaginary lines that confine the Sixth ward. The property which the association would have made Into a public park is bounded by Hooper avenue, Thirtyeighth street, the Hooper avenue car line and the subdivisions on the north.

About twenty-five acres of land are embraced in this territory. The petition asks that a portion ot this property be made into a playground. It recites there are about 5000 children in the ward, according to the school census, and the Slauion playground, which is about a mile and a half from the propose! park, is the only public playground where this host of children can enjoy the open air. South park is located in the Sixth ward, but this is one of the smallest parks In the city. It is declared that the Sixth ward is one of the most densely populated of any of the wards of the city, and the property sought for park purposes is as near the geographical center of tho ward as could be secured.

It is accessible by three car lines. This la the last large piece of land in the ward that can be secured, and the petitioners believe action should be taken at once. No estimate of the cost of the property is included in the petition, but whatever the cost it is represented the proportion to each property owner would be nominal If it was assessed against the entire ward. Tho new law that makes such a petition possible was drafted by Assistant City Attorney Howard Roberteon and put through by the united effort! of the Loi Angeles delegation in the ital legislature. Us working is based on tho plan of the Vrooman act and provides that land may be secured by condemnation for park purposes and tincost assessed against the district It is expected that under this law an effort will be made to condemn the Arroyo Seco as a public park.
