The suspect is John Skurs, 21 years of age, with a long criminal record. He resides in the neighborhood of where the holdup occurred and was with the gang that shot Policeman Fabian Calahan during the teamsters’ strike a few years ago. Skurs has been arrested on many occasions for thefts and he is regarded as a bay | pirate. ‘What caused Skurs’ arrest was his - | connection with a holdup in South | Park two weeks ago, when he stood up TEE Los Angeles Tim Choice up to 4x5.

DAINTY EASTER BONNETS i i There were plenty of Easter bormetsI and Easter finery of all sorts in the Park yesterday until late in the after- noon when a heavy' fog, almost a Scotch mist, rolled over the big pleas- ure grounds. Then the new feathers ! assumed 2 look of anguish and curls grew scraggy. There was a free for all race from the bandstand to the | cars. | . Among those who took the air was! {the damsel with the green hat. When | the fog, like a gentle rain, dampened | the bonnet the color began to run, so | did the girl.

He was found'in an un- conscious condition by a park police- man and was removed to the Park Emergency Hospital, where he died. | Dr. Pinkham expressed the opinion | that death was caused by opium | poison. The stomach will be sent to | the City Chemist for analysis. Deputy Coroner Meehan took charge of the body and removed it to the Morgue. It is that of a young man | about five feet seven inches tall, very | dark hair, smooth face, evidently a Mexican. He wore a black cheviot suit | and his shoes were worn through at the soles. His collar and shirt had the | lJaundry mark “R 50.” In the pockets | were found an empty purse, a 1-cent piece, a Mexican cent plece and a Ger- man 10 pfennige piece. There were also | & silk handkerchief bearing the letter “R,” a cheap pair of sleeve links and | four small shells. In a note book he had written in pencil: “I am 22 years old January 27, 1905. S. T. D.” On another leaf was | written: “Please do not try to find my | people, for I don’'t want them to know. 1 did it myself and it is nobody’s busi- ness why.” On another leaf he had started on with “on the,” but stopped and wrote below, “Once I had a sweet- heart, noble, brave and true, but she is dead.” The notebook bears the stamp of “John D.

Policeman Silver was notified and after making an in- vestigation he discovered that the roof of a two-story building at 309 Wash- ington street, occupied by Gray & Bar- bieri, fruit and commission merchants. had given way. “ It is an old frame structure with a heavy roof. The collapse was caused by the bending of the center beam of the second floor. It fell to the first floor and one end struck the large scales, bending the stanchions. The other end of the beam was left dangling in the air. The breaking of the beam loosened the supports of the roof, which fell with a crash upon the second floor. The weight of the roof upon this floor made the front wall of the building bulge out over the siedwalk. Policeman Silver at once notified Engine Company No. 1 of the Fire De- partment at 419 Pacific street. and by instructions of the District Engineer a board fence was erected in front of the building to insure the safety of pedestrians, as it was thought that at any moment the whole structure would collapse. The woodwork is rotten from old age, and the wonder is that the building did not give wdy years ago. One of the employes had been work- ing in the store yesterday morning. and Policeman Smith saw him leave a few minutes before the noon hour. If the collapse had occurred during business hours on a week day it is probable that there would have been a loss of life. —_———— Plano Recital.

NKNOWN YOUTH [BEAM BREAKS ~ORPHEM SHOW | ENDS HIS LIFE| AND IS VERY FUNNY “Christmas on Blackwells | Island” Is Amusing and Full of Strong Singing | SKETCH BY CALIFORNIAN ———— Clay M. Greene Wrote It for | Lamb’s Club of New York, | but It Will Go Anywhere Those that know their Orpheum as they should saw “Christmas on Black- wells Island” last week. I saw it my- | self last night and am ‘sorry to have ! gone without it for seven days. One | has heard a good deal of the Lambs’ . Club Gambols, the “high jinks” of the | actor folk of New York. To these frol- | ics the players, as the painters and | poets here to the Bohemian Club jinks, bring their best and brightest. “Christ- | mas on Blackwells Island” was written for a ‘“gambol” by Clay M. Greene. | Patriotism impels one to mention that the sald Greene, before he knew enough | to be a “Lamb”—or anything else—was | a Californian. It is greatl; to our| credit. The sketch aforesald is one of the brightest, and moreover ope of the | best sung and handled generally of any | seen here of late. ] There is a good, sounding ‘“Adeste | Fideles” going on in male voices before the curtain lifts. When it does lift you see three cells in the Blackwell prison, With numbers 13, 14, 15, peering through the barred doors. They are swapping Jokes and turkey is thelr chief desire. When they get tired of exchanging Mr. Greene’s witticisms they take to singing. You like them both ways. Sydney Deane & ‘“‘Co.” #$resent the piece. Mr, Deane and two of the company have voices, one holding a basement C that belongs at the other end of Tetrazzini’s. They have good | songs, not a hint of the “Do not take the doorknob from the door, “But leave it, mother, where it was of yore” kind. In fact No. 13, 14 15 are .jovially unrepentant sinners, and their “burgling and forg- | ing” reminiscences make most of the fun. The “company” distinct- ly deserves labeling, particularly one Fred Jarvis, who is capital as the Eng- lish dude ‘‘trusty,” “doing” his thirty days for killing a silly person who got in front of his automobile. The whole sketch is flavorsome and funny to a | degree. | Lydia Yeamans Titus leads the new people. Mrs. Titus is amusing as| ever, and fatter than general in her| baby impersonations. She does a grand | cpera imitation that is new, and of the | best. It is distinctly and absurdly | reminiscent of Maria de Marchi, of late | and revered Conried memory. Jack Norworth, another new light, did not | get his audience to.begin with last! night. But his monologue is amusing, if it just misses hitting the center of things, and he has some new and funny songs. Herbert Brooks, with his truly mys- terious trunk act, better any day than Herrmann's; the Busch-Devere trio, with their illustrated songs, and Louis A. Simon, Grace Gardner and company in “The New Coachman,” the most strenuous “rough-house” act that has graced the Orpheum stage for some time, are all still high favorites.

Miss Florence Stone, the popular actress who has starred in many productions here, was seen once again in the tile roll of a new play When she made her appearance on the stage in a big auto- mobile, it was the signal for a general outburst of applause. Flowers were showered upon the fair heroine and her reappearance was marked by everything that would betoken a suc- cessful season. The Ferris company contains many good actors, including Dick Ferris, Miss Stone, Frederick Sumner, A, By- ron Beasley, Edith Julian, Irene Out- trim and many others. Their version of Graustark was an exceptionally good one and the difficult play was well portrayed in every feature. Miss Stone as the heroine gave a splendid exhibition of emotional acting and was well supported in these scenes by Mr. Ferris. The latter got several curtain calls and favored the audience with a little speech in which he said that his stock company was about to enter on an ex- tended engagement here and he hoped they would do justice to the pieces they intended to play and satisfy the public. —_—————— TORTURICI'S WIFE ATTENDS MORNING MASS AT CHURCH Accompanied by Her Child, Matron Christ and a Policeman, She Walks to St. Mary's. Mrs. Rosa Torturici, wife of the murderer of Biaggio Vilardo, attended the nine o’clock mass at St. Mary’s Church, California and Dupont streets, yesterday morning. She had ex- pressed a desire on Friday to attend the services on Baster Sunday in some church where she would not meet any of her race. Accompanied by Matron Christ and Policeman Michael Walsh and carry- ing her baby in her arms, she walked from the prison to St. Mary’s Church shortly before nine o'clock. Matron Christ sat beside her in church and helped to quiet the baby when it be- came fretful. Matron Christ said that Mrs, Torturici was a devout worship- er and at one time the tears rolled down her cheeks as she hugged her baby to her breast. Mrs. Torturici had been provided with a new Easter bonnet and a dress by the president of the Italian Ladies’ Rellef Society and she seemed to en- joy her outing. —_— POWERS FAMILY TROUBLES TO BE AIRED IN COURT The Powers family, who reside at 1332 Valencia street, intend to keep the Mission police department busy making arrests of the members of that disunited family. The troubles of this household were brought to light yesterday morning, when Mrs. Catherine Powers notified Policeman Dasman that she wanted her 16-year-old daughter, Eva, ar- rested for disturbing the peace. The girl was taken into custody and when brought to the Seventeenth-street sta- tion told her story to the effect that she was employed in a candy store on Kearny street and had been de- tained late on Saturday night attend- ing to Easter customers. When she returned home her mother upbraided her for being out late, The mother called at the candy store to make in- quiries regarding the time her daugh- ter quit work.
