4 MISSION MERCHANTS BANQUET "Jim" Rolph Meets Old Friends at Feast PRAPSE FOR Cm KEYNOTE OF TIE MING SPEECH City Executive Says There Is No "Knocking," Only an Over.enthusiastic Spirit of People "Jim" Rolph and his wife returned to the Mission last night. There was little ceremony about the visit, either, and a stranger at the feast of the Mission Street Merchants' association would never have guessed that the carefree "mixer" who joined in all the fun was Ban Francisco's mayor. "Public life hasn't changed me in one fact, it can't change me, for when I come into the Mission it is always as 'Jim' Rolph." he said, and then the entire gathering of merchants and their wives and sweethearts rose to their feet and cheered him until they were hoarse. Then they began again and included Mrs. Rolph in the ovation.

The annual was held in Knights of Pythias hall at Hermann and Valencia streets, and was followed by a dance. As it is one of the big events of the year tn the Mission district, every one of prominence was present. The banquet hall was dressed in flags and the blue and gold of California's emblem. A carnival spirit was rampant and small celluloid whistles and paper cocked hats were quite as important a part of the affair as the speeches. AUTHORS ABE INTRODUCED The authors of these were introduced by Sylvaln J.

Lazarus, president of the Mayor Rolph plunged into a discussion of his hopes for a quick settlement of the water question. "Within a very short time," he said, the citizens of San Francisco, I hope, will have the privilege of voting for the purchase of their own water supply. 1 hope the water company will accept the city's offer and thus end this controversy. I want to see better transportation facilities for the Mission as well as the entire city. I am very anxious to see the beginning of the Twin Peaks tunnel.

"Within a few blocks of this spot is the center of San Francisco and right now I want to thank and commend the merchants of the Mission for their activity in working for the civic center. "It is always good to spend an evening home with one's friends and neighbors, and Mrs. Rolph and I have looked forward to this banquet tonight just as we have anticipated it in years past. It isn't necessary for me to say that 1 shall always try to hold the friendship of the Mission knows I will. It is always Jim Rolph and none of the public official.

am to respond to the toast, 'San Recently I was sent on to Washing-ton to plead for a water supply for our city. VO PLACE LIKE CITY "While traveling I can say that I saw no other city to compare with San Francisco; nowhere did I encounter handclasps as hearty as those of San Franeii-cans. and now that I am back 1 want to say that I won't leave again until I have to. "San Francisco is but seven years old, but the remarkable growth of these few years will be greatly outdone during the next few years. Tiie other night at a meeting of the Civic center I took exception to some remarks made.

We have heard what others call I want to say that 'there isn't any such thing' in San Francisco. It is merely the impatient enthusiasm of citizens anxious to see San Francisco sweep on to her destiny as a metropolis of the world." James Dougherty. secretary and treasurer of the association, was presented with 8 watch engraved with an expression of good will from the organization, which he has served with untiring effort. Among other speakers were Stuart Smith, Charles Heyer and S. Breyer.

If not actively engaged in furthering the Solano Irrigated Farms, project, the guests had tramped the Solano district in quest of duck, and it occurred to J. Rich, the host, that it would be fitting tnat the farewell dinner take place in a tule swamp. Mr. Rich solved the dilemma by "bringing marshes to the banquet room.

When the guests arrived they were led into a sure enough tule path, which opened upon a dining room transformed into a typical Sacramento valley swamp.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1913. TWO BOYS CONFESS TO ROBBING HOMES OF RICH Nights of Revelry Passed by Marauders in Vacant Belvedere Residences A series of burglaries in the vacant summer homes of five wealthy Belvedere residents, in which they had spent two nights of wild revelry, with music, dancing and the drinking of a case of champagne, was confessed to by Alex Swanson and James McElhane, 18 land 19 years old, who were arrested yesterday morning at Sausalito as they I attepted to walk through the ferry gate. The arrests were made by F. M.

Ballard, marshal of Belvedere, and the I prisoners were taken to the sheriff's office in San Rafael, where they made a full confession of guilt. Questions by Sheriff Keating brought out the. statement that the boys were accompanied and led by two Barbary coast characters, "Slim" and "Fat." Tiie prisoners were held until they told their story and then were brought to San Francisco to point out the pawnshops to which they had taken tiie proceeds of the first burglary. They estimated the value of the loot at $800, and said they had sold it for $10. They confessed that on Monday night they and their two companions entered the houses of J.

W. Spence and J. H. Berghauser. In the Berghauser dwelling they found a case of champagne.

They slept in the Berghauser house and, in the morning, packed two suitcases with their loot and took the ferry for San Francisco. The four returned Wednesday night to Belvedere and robbed the homes of F. F. Bowers, H. G.

Hellman and E. M. Wilson. The older men, the boys said, left them at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, instructing the boys to bring the loot on the first boat in the morning and they would be met at the San Francisco ferry. The boys were brought to San Francisco in the afternoon and nearly $1,000 worth of loot was recovered from their room at Golden Gate avenue and Webster street.

Later they were taken to various pawnshops, where more trrnkets and pieces of jewelry were found. They were held at the City prison last night.

ALLISON IN DEFIANT HUMOR Declares Gowns Were Made in Chinatown and That She Detests "Liars" If "The Society Burglar," a character created by Mrs. Kstelle Kohl Valeric Allison, should by some heavenly power become incarnate, he would have to resort to all the tricks known to his profession In order to gain entrance to room 203, Hotel Maryland, wherein his creator is held prisoner, charged with the theft of two silk crepe negligee gowns from the house Hamberger, 308 Post street. Once an entrance was gained, however, he probably would find everything to his liking, even to the atmosphere of camaraderie wnich hovers about the room. If he were a congenial spirit he would in all probability be asked to light a cigarette "as Mr. Allison used to do," and if he were a good listener he would hear a tale that would make his most adventurous ventures seek the shade of an ordinary 10 cent monthly.

WHAT SHE WOULD SAY In a clear, sweet voice, pitched in a tone becoming a prisoner, the author of "The Light of the Island," "La Very" and "The Blind Boy and His AJHson tell the burglar with the upper crust aspirations, "Mrs. Hamberger, the Post street modiste, did pot make the gowns whicii were to be worn at the production of 'The Society Burglar' which was to have been given at the St. Francis on the night of January 16. At that time Mr. Hamberger, the real workman of the establishment, was sick In a southern hospitaJ, and, judging from the smell of those gowns of which was pink and one they were made by local Chinese.

I'm quite willing to take them into court and have a competent who is familiar with the smells of Chinatow judgment on my guess. Besides, they would fit two women of my size, and I am not a weigh 140 pounds. Then, too, Mrs. Hamberger agreed to accept pay in advertising. "I detest liars," Mrs.

Allison continued, "as they have caused many a woman's downfall. We all know that people in this world are selfish and jealous of the success of others. That is why those horrid persons insinuate that I plagiarized from Robert Chambers' 'The Common Law' and even went so far as to tell the public that I did not write 'La 'The Coincidence' and other playlets which I intend to play in after this trouble is settled." "UA QUEST-OX" OF PRICE Mrs. Allison would then seem to want to ask the gentlemanly "jimmie" opertor Carpenter Gets Millions Figues in Great Estate DULUTH, Jan. 90.

John Jewell, a carpenter of this city, received word from England today that his uncle In Cornwall had died and left 3,000,000 pounds, of vfltlch Jewell's share, he expev.ts, will he several million dollars. Jewell been a laborer since early He was horn la Camhome, Cornwall, 46 years ago. His wife and two will share his good fortune. to examine her nightie, with the question: "Does that look like a $35 silk crepe night gown? I paid $1.50 for that and actually believe It more valuable than the two gowns' or chemises, Mrs. Hamberger accuses me of taking from her shop.

Trades people always take delight in pouncing upon actresses. It may he that they like the attendant publicity, or it may be that they do not stop to consider that 'it is not always the way a thing looks, that makes it That, by the way, is the title of a book which I am now writing, 'It Is Not Always the Way a Thing Looks That Makes It do you think of it for a catch name?" After his visit with Mrs. Allison, "Raffles" would be in danger of arrest if he attempted to leave by the conventional door, however, for Detective E. W. Meredith, guardian of and attendant to Mrs.

Allison, kept constant vigil just outside of room 203. MAYOR WILL RECEIVE CLEVELAND PASSENGERS Exposition Company "Will Join and President Moore Sends Wireless Welcome San Francisco has made elahorate preparations for the entertainment of the passengers of the steaoner Cleveland who arrive here today from their trip around the world.

ESTER ADABERTO IMPRESSES CROWD Floods House With Tone, Making One Forget the Orchestra WALTER ANTHONY Though the bassoon Is really the star performer in Puccini's dolorous opera, "La Tosca," Ester Adaberto contrived last night to impress her art on the big audience at the Valencia theater and she shone through the dusk of the lugubrious instrumentation. In the last act Agostini, who sang the role of Mario, made an impression not less emphatic, and the tenor and soprano won and earned great honors in an opera that is not always made popular by singers. Adaberto and Agostini flooded the house with tone and made one forgot the orchestra was, as a matter of fact Puccini's chief concern.

"La Tosca" is a combination of melodrama and music, and it Is lucky for Sardou that he had a Bernhardt and a-Puccini to interpret his play. Puccini has done his best. He has given the orchestra difficult intervals to intone and he has given the.drums and cymbals percussion notes to accent obvious tragedy as when Tosca places the candles about the dead body of Sca whom she has just killed deftly with a thrust of a thin blade to the heart. The role of Mario, the artist, was assumed with fine effect by Agostini. His voice was equal to the demands of his difficult role and he sang with sincerity and beauty.

Giovacchini in the role of Scarpia appeared in his best part. He has a well defined sense for the dramatic, and if he fails to make an impression as a singer it is because of a vibrato that disturbs the smooth course of his melody. As Scarpia in "La Tosca" he was splendid, acting the ungrateful part with ftorce and melodic effectiveness. A double bill will be offered tonight. "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "I'Pagliaccl" will be the program at the Valencia theater.

Bertossi will sing the role of Nedda in the Leoncavallo opera and Foleo will be the tenor in the Mascagni and Leoncavallo operas. VICTOR S.
