A HEAVY LOSS

The Sudden Death of T.D. Stimson

THREE SCORE YEARS ANDTEN

ONE OF LOS ANGELES' MOST SUB-STANTIAL CITIZENS

His Death, Due to Heart Disease, Wasa Shock to Hundreds of

Friends

At his palatial Flgueroa street resi-dence, T. D. Stlmson, the banker andcapitalist, died at 8 oclock yesterdaymorning of angina pectoris. He hadlain In an unconscious condition since 11oclock Sunday evening, and death wasnot unexpected. At his bedside were hiswife, his win Willard and son-in-law anddaughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. J, Fay.

For ten years Mr. Stimson had sufferedwith his complaint, the attacks growingmore frequent and severe as time passedon. During the past two weeks he hadhad several severe attacks, but on Sat-urday was apparently feeling unusuallywell. Saturday afternoon he was outdriving until evening. Sunday morninghe was apparently In his usual healthand remained quietly at home all day.

At 8 oclock Sunday evening he wasIseized with a violent attack, which In-jcrensed in severity until at 11 he lapsedinto semi-consciousness. Dr. C. E.Jones, the family physician, was calledand was assisted by Dr. W. C. Brown,both physicians remaining by the bed-side throughout the night. Despite theirskill, the patient gradually sank, and aminute or two after 8 yesterday morningdied.

ln his death the city loses one of hermost progressive and enterprising citi-zens. With ample capital he invested

!it with full faith in the future of LosIAngeles and was about to build anotherImagnificent business block opposite theone which bears his name at Third andSpring streets. Orders have already

been telegraphed to the architects inSan Franc isco to suspend all work on thoplans and estimates.

Telegrams have been sent to his sonsCharles D. and Fred S. Stimson in Seat-tle and to J. D. Stimson at Brooklyn, N. IY. Kara T. Stimson, his brother, is nowon his way to this city from San Fran- ICisco. No arrangements for the funeral jhave yet been made.

The life of Mr. Stimson was but an-other of those many examples showingwhat honesty, perseverance and grit canaccomplish. Born seventy years ago ofpoor parents at French Mills. Canada,Thomas U. Stimson beguy, life ln a mosthumble way. To the disadvantage of thowant of an abundance of this world'sgoods was added the handicap of the los 3of his mother early in life. Meager aswere his means and unpromising as werehis prospects, while still a boy he seized iupon every opportunity to advance him-self when that advancement could be jmade by fair and honest means.

After the deatji of his mother the fam-ily removed to New York state and atthe age of 14 young Thomas, with sucheducation as could be secured In countryschools and by hard, tedious work atnight, started out to blaze his own wayto fortune. He-was fortunate but thefortune came to him through his ownhonest and earnest effort.

He first entered business at Mar-quette, Mich., and from the start heprospered. Later he went into the lum-ber business, first as an employe andafterwards Independently upon the In-vestment of his savings. At that timethe finest lumber territory in Michiganwas far south of where young Stimsonmade his #tart. These lands were soonexhausted and the lands owned by theyoung man soon became very valuable.He was not slow to take advantage ofthis and his fortune was doubled sev-eral times over in the course of a fewyears.

Having accumulated a competencysufficient to satisfy him he went to Chi-cago in 1877, and at once became a lead-ing business man. For twelve yeas thecity by the lake was his homo,and in 1890 he removed to Los Angeles.The boom here had somewhat demoral-ized realty values, but in spile of thisMr. Stlmson saw that the depressionwas not to be permanent. He had con-fidence in the city and country, and atonce made large investments Inreal es-tate. A year after his arrival he com-pleted the handsome residence on Fig-ueroa street In which he died, and thesame year saw the completion of theStimson block at Third and SpringBtreets. He was Interested In a numberof other important ventures, and his

name has appeared repeatedly upon thelists of directors of various financial In-stitutions. He was largely interestedin the Citizens' bank, and was at onetime vice president of the chamber ofcommerce.

The acquisition of riches had no effectupon the personality of the man. Hewas never so happy as when at work,and no work was too hard for him.His charities were numerous. He wasparticularly Interested In the work ofthe Salvation army, and also Inkinder-garten work. He and his wife en-dowed the Stlmson-Lafayette Industrialschool, an Important educational Insti-tution. How much he gave privately tocharity will never be known, for hedispensed his charity without ostenta-tion. In all public movements he tookan active port and was Identified withnearly all the large enterprises startedhere ln recent years.

The arrangements for the funeralhave not been made. His sons in Seattlewere notified by wire of their father'sdeath, and the"y will reach the city atnoon Thursday. Pntll then the funeralannouncement willnot be made.

T. D. STIMSON

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH

New Building at the Northeast Cornerof Sixth and Hill

The quarterly conference of the FirstM. B. church met in session last night.Bishop John P. Newman was presentand opened the proceedings with an ad-dress which set forth his intense interestIn the future of the two principal Meth-odist churches in the city. He outlineda wise and liberal policy, and his re-marks were followed very closely by theconference in Its subsequent action,though not without much debate. Thebishop's address was followed by thepresiding Officer, Elder Hovard, and thepastor, Dr. Cantine, following the sameline of argument.

The board of trustees submitted a re-port, reciting Its action In .selling the oldchurch site at 333 South Broadway, and

asked for authorization to sell the par-sonage property at 525 South Broadway.The privilege to sell the latter wasgranted.

F. M. Porter offered a resolution au-thorizing the board of trustees of Firstchurch to pay to the board of trusteesof Simpson M. K. church the sum of$5000 from the sale of First church prop-erty and $5000 from the sale of the par-sonage property, to aid them ln erectinga new church home in the Westlakepark section. The conditions of saidgift were to be made by the buildingcommittee of First church. It is under-stood that one of those conditions is thesale of the present Simpson tabernacle,to which the Simpson officials have al-|ready agreed, and its abandonment as aMethodist Episcopal church.

A. E. Pomeroy presented resolutions,iwhich w ere passed by the conference, di-jrecting that the new home of Firstc hurc h be located on the northeast cor-ner of Sixth and Hill streets, work tobegin soon, so that the new churchwill be ready for dedication early in Sep-tember. A unanimous vote was passedrequesting Bishop Newman to dedicatethe new church when ready. At a latehour the conference adjourned.

McCurdy's MishapThe name of the man who was killed

by a Santa Monica electric car near theSoldiers' home Sunday night, the par-ticulars of which were published in TheHerald yesterday morning, was GeorgeG. W. McCurdy. He was an inmate ofthe home and had visited this city Sun-day. He beep.me Intoxicated and start-ed for the home. Leaving the car at astopping place this side of the home, hestarted to walk to his quarters, but be-came lost. He was too drunk to walkproperly and in order to cross the cartracks he had to crawl. As he was do-ing this he was struck by a car and in-stantly killed. He was 61 years of age.The coroner held an inquest upon theremains yesterday morning.

Shultz on SoundProf. James H. Shultz of the state

normal school, assisted by a number ofthe students, entertained and instructed

ian audience at the Young Men's Chris-tian association last evening in a lect-ure on "Sound." In the realm of sound,said the speaker, there is room for muchresearch in undiscovered Kohls. We aredeaf to many sounds that a more finelyconstructed human organism could de-tect. The usual range of ability to de-tect sound is confined to hearing thoseproduced by from 16 to 10,000 vibrationsa second. Yet In some oases the abllityextends from 15 to as high as 50,000 vi-brations. Large numbers of Illustra-tions of the principles of acoustics weregiven with apparatus prepared for thepurpose, concluding with a sertes of ex-periments with singing and sensitiveflames.

Next Monday evening there will be alecture on "Abraham Lincoln," by JudgeJohn S. Thompson, who was a fellow-practitioner with Lincoln at the Illinoisbar.

Louis P. Boardman, counsel for thedefense In the Durrant ease, is at theWestminster. Mr. Boardman is on hisway back to San Francisco from Wash-ington, where he went to present the lastappeal to the United States supremocourt.

IN THE TOILS

Juan Orosco Arrested forWife Murder

INCRIMINATING TESTIMONY

THE LATE LAMANDA PARKTRAGEDY RECALLED

Suspicious Circumstances Seen by aNeighbor?The Prisoner Em-

phatically Denies Guilt

Juan Orosco, a young Mexican ofLamanda Park, was brought to thecounty jail last nightby Sheriff Burr andbooked for the murder, on Tuesday

morning of last week, of Modesta, hisbride of only seventeen days.

Coroner Campbell went to the placewhere Mrs. Orosco's dead body hadbeen found, with a bullet hole in thecenter of the breast, ranging backwardand downward, the bullet being stoppedonly by the spine. She had met herdeath in the bed room upstairs of the lit-tle house where she and her husbandlived, on the Allen ranch. Her clothingand the wound were badly powder

burned. There were several suspicious

circumstances connected with the case,which to a certain extent made the sui-cide theory rather improbable; but, onthe other hand, no testimony connecting

Juan Orosco with the sudden taking offof his wife seemed to be available, andthe jury found, after a lengthy investi-gation, that the deceased had come toher death from a self-inflicted wound.The jurors, however, left the question

of suicide or accident an open one.Juan Orosco and his child wife, Modes-

ta Linares ?she was only 17 years old andhad been married to her husband onlyas many days?came from the neighbor-hood of Downey at the time that he se-cured work on the Allen ranch. He wasconsidered to be jealous of her, so it issaid. On the night before Mrs. Orosco'sdeath they had been to Los Nietos towitness the marriage of one of her sis-ters, and, as a matter of course, theywere asked to stay to the baile that fol-lowed. But the husband refused anddrove away with his wife long before thefestivities came to an end. This hastydeparture was ascribed by the friendsand relatives to his jealousy.

After Modesta's death and the inquestthey were not satisfied with the verdictand set about making inquiries. Rumorswere thick about Lamanda Park, butnothing was of a tangible nature. Thebrother of the deceased, Bito Linares,visited the offices of the coroner, districtattorney and sheriff on Saturday, butthe information at his command at the'time was not .sufficient to allow these

!officials to act.Yesterday morning he came again and

!informed District Attorney Donnell thatan American woman who lived quite

Iclose to the Orosco house had stated tojhim that she had seen the husband gointo the house on the morning of thewife's death and remain there about tenminutes. While he was there she hadheard a shot and later she had seen himgo away.

With such a statement at hand, it wasresolved that an immediate investiga-tion was imperative, and Assistant Dis-trict Attorney Williams took charge ofit. He and Sheriff Burr proceeded toLamanda Park in one carriage, whileDeputy Sheriff White took another oneby way of the mission, to head offOros-co If he should undertake to run away,In case his suspicions became aroused.

The American woman was found to bea Mrs. Neblino, a middle-aged personmarried to a Mexican, and who.formerlyworked at the St. Elmo hotel. Her storywas somewhat different from the Lin-ares' version. She lives only about 20yards away from the Orpsco place. Shesaid that on the day of Modesta's deathshe had heard a shot in the house at 8:30in the morning. Some twenty minuteslater she saw Orosco, as she wendedher way to a little outhouse, on his owndoorstep going in. He remained insidea few minutes, then rame out and wentaway. He did not speak to Mrs. Neb-lino at that time.ft was considered by the officials that

there were sufficient suspicious circum-stances connected with Orosco's doingson that day to justify his arrest, andBito Linares was permitted to swear toa complaint charging Juan Orosco withthe murder of his wife on the 25th ofJanuary. Justice Rosslter of PasadenaIssued a warrant which was served up-on the accused as he was plowing yes-terday afternoon on the Allen ranch bySheriff Burr.

Mr. Allen was with the sheriff andsaid to Orosco: "John, this is the sher-iff. The people don't seem to be satis-fied with the verdict at the inquest."

"I don't see why they shouldn't besatisfied," replied the Mexican, ' as h?quit plowing and asked to be permittedto put on his overcoat.

He was then taken before Justice Ros- 'siter at Pasadena and remanded withoutbail pending examination. Upon hl3arrival at the county jail his mainthought was that he was very hungryand wanted a good hot supper. OroscoIs a tall, swarthy Mexican with piercingblack eyes and a heavy moustache, not 1ill looking. While being searched and 1prepared for identification he said thatIt was all nonsense to say that he had 'been at his house about 9 oclock In themorning on the 25th as he was fullypre-pared to prove an unassailable alibi.He pretended not to know why Mrs.Neblino should say that he was therewhen he was not, and claimed never to Ihave spoken to her In his life.

He laughed scornfully when told ofthe stories of his Jealousy and said thatthey were lies. As to his brother-ln- <law, Bito Linares, he stigmatized him Ias a liar, because he had told him thathe had had nothing to do with his arrestwhen as a matter of fact he alone hadmoved the machinery of the law to bringit about. All this time the prisoner waspicking his teeth with a match and re-verting to that hot supper whlci thesheriff had promised him and which hewanted right then.

Orosco will be taken to Pasadena thismorning, arraigned before Justice Ros-slter and the date of his examinationset.

Fractured His ArmPeter Mcintosh, aped 18 years, was the

victim of a serious accident at 1:20 oclock

yesterday afternoon. He had recov-ered from an attack of typhoid feverbuttwo days before, and yesterday was thefirst day his physician would allow himto leave the house. He was walkingalong Bellevue avenue and slipped ona piece of orange peel and fell. He sus-tained a fracture of the right arm intwo places, besides other Injuries. ItIsfeared the accident will cause a recur-rence of his illness.

MUSIC NOTES

Mrs. Gertrude Auld Thomas has nevergiven more convincing proof of her rankas an artist than at the first of a seriesof song recitals last evening in theBlanchard-Fltzgerald hall. Her pro-gram, which was carefully selected, wasdelightfully presented, and, except foran occasional tendency to vibrate, whichwas probably due to nervousness, hervoice was quite at its best.

Mrs. Thomas met and conquered thedramatic and vocal exactions of the greataria from the mad scene in "Hamlet"with a very delightful art. As a well-merited encore, she sang KJerulf's tragiclittle "Synnove's Pong," with a deliciousmezza voce. For encore to the group ofthree songs, with which the programopened, Yon Stutzman's "Vainka'sSong" was given, with a dainty naivete.

Another of the particularly enjoyablenumbers was an "Old French Song"(1700), by Martini. Mrs. Thomas wasably assisted by Miss M. Edith Haines,who played her accompaniments withsympathy, and three solo numbers be-sides. The next recital will be givenFebruary 28th.

o o *>The first matinee concert by the Los

Angeles Symphony orchestra. HarieyHamilton, conductor, will be given thisafternoon in Music hall at ,1:30 oclook.The program will include, besides Bee-thoven's "First Symphony," Plerne's"Serenade" (for strings only), Mendels-sohn's "Flngal Cave Overture," a Strausswaltz. "Wiener Blut." and Rossini'soverture to "William Tell."

ILL-STARRED HORSE THIEF

Steals a Rig but Kills the Horse WhileEscaping

An unknown man made a determinedeffort to steal a horse and delivery wag-on belonging to Sentous Bros., butchers,at Aliso and Los Angeles streets, lastnight. That he did not succeed was dueto an accident later, in which the horsewas killed and the wagon wrecked.

The horse was hitched in front of thefirm's meat store shortly after 8 oclocklast night. One of the employes of thestore happened to notice a man drivingthe horse slow ly along the opposite, sideof the street and called to him to stop.Instead of replying, the man whippedthe horse Into a run and was soon out ofsight. He drove to Main street andthen past the plaza, turning into Sono-ratown, all the time keeping the horserunning. At the corner of Castellar andAlpine streets he tried to make a sharpturn, and in doing so overturned thewagon. The horse was thrown and itsneck was broken by the fall. A crowdquickly collected, but none of the peo-ple knew that the man had no right tothe rig. He hurriedly left the place,seemingly uninjured, and disappearedIn the direction of the oil fields. The mat-ter was reported at the police station,but, as no good description of the mancould be furnished, he will be hard tofind.

Died of Heart FailureMrs. Ida Vogel, who while insane tried

to kill herself by cutting her throat ather home on Anderson street a monthago, died yesterday at the county hos-pital. Her death was only indirectly-due to the self-inflicted injuries. Shehad been gradually growing weakerever since her admission to the hos-pital and the direct cause of her deathwas heart failure. She was 32 years ofage and leaves a husband and onedaughter.

J. H. Adams of Pasadena was at theSt. Denis, New York, Saturday.

AT THE THEATER

LOS ANGELES THEATER.?A gen-uine coon minstrel show of the old-fashioned kind was that given by theMaharas last night. The house wasnot heavy, as might have been expected,but the performance was quite asuccessand better of its class than is often seenhere. The first part ot me entertain-ment went very smothly and the oliothat followed contained enough of theknock-about element to please thecolored population who made a veryconsiderable showing In the audience.The minstrels will appear again tonightand tomorrow they will close with twoperformances, afternoon and evening,

o o oORPHEUM.?The usual large audi-

ence last night witnessed a performancethat was varied enough to suit the tasteof ail parts of the hoURe. Among thenew turns Barney snd Russell gave avery earnest, energetic act that wasthoroughly well liked. The lady whofollowed and who makes pictures withcolored sands wore yellow silk Inex-pressibles and made new tableauxwhich were greatly applauded. Shedoes very clever work and one cannotbut admire the deft way in which sheJuggles the sands of various hues to doher bidding.

Maud Beall Price is a monologue en-tertainer and clever imitator. She isof the style but brighter than CarolineHull, who was here a few weeks ago,another difference between them being

that Miss Hull was a three-story vo-calist, or so called triple voiced, whileMiss Price pretends only the possessionof two registers. She affords lots ofamusement in a clever breezy way andwas recalled several times. Patrice andAlfHampton repeated their pretty littlesketch, "A New Year's Dream," whichkeeps its charm as well as ever. Crim-mlngs and Gore have been here beforeand their amusing comedy skit is en-tirely funny and gets lots of laughter

and applause. The Farnum brothersrepeat their acrobatic work, which isexcellent of its kind. A couple ofFrench people, Paulo and Dlka, singsome songs In French and the woman ofthe team, who is decollete above and be-low and is besides perfectly justified inher choice of costume, accompanies hersongs with gestures that were applaud-

ed by the gallery only. The rest of thehouse appeared surprised, but at thefinish the applause was hearty and gen-eral. The up-to-dateness of the turn isnot to be questioned.

o o oBURBANK THEATER.?The Elle-

ford company opened Its engagement atthis house last evening with a presenta-tion of the well known melodrama, "TheStowaway." The piece contains theusual number of escapes and heroic-speeches, all of which were greatly ap-preciated by the gallery, which com-posed the majority of the audience. W.J. Elleford, in the title role, was well re-ceived. As Chucky the newsboy JessieNorton did much to add life and inter-est to the drama and made a hit withher songs. There was too much timegiven up to "business" for so long aplay and the action was slow, but thislatter Is likely a first night defect whichwill be remedied as the week advances."The Stowaway" will be given the bal-ance of the week witlj a matinee Satur-day.

o o oCOMING ATTRACTIONS.?An ex-

cellent company of comedians will inter-pret "Courted Into Court" upon its firstappearance here at the Los Angeles

theater next Friday and Saturday nights

and Saturday matinee, the most im-portant members probably being MarieDressier, John C. Rice, John G. Sparks.Jacques Kruger and several other wellknown farceurs.

The eagerness with which the publicbesieged the box office of the Los Ange-les theater indicates that the productionof "The Serenade" by the Bostoniansnext week has aroused more than usualcuriosity. The success of "The Sere-nade" is such a matter of record else-where that there is every reason to be-lieve it will find equal favor here. Thecast will include the fullstrength of th»organization, including: Henry ClayBarnabee, William H. MacDonald, Jes-sie Bartlett Davis, Eugene Cowles, AliceNielsen, George Frothingham. JosephineBartlett, William E. Philip, HarryBrown, Crafton Baker, W. H. Fitzger-ald, Nellie Guistl, Helene Fredericks.Jennie Hawley, Charles R. Hawley andS. L. Studley, musical director.

To Entertain TowneThe committee having in charge the lo-

cal arrangements for the reception ofthe Hon. Charles A. Towne of Minne-sota will meet today at luncheon at therooms of the Sliver Republican club. 533South Main street. A full committeemeeting is expected, at which time re-ports will be made by the several com-mittees appointed by Chairman SpaMingat the last meeting. Secretary Cooperof the state committee announces thatMr. Towne will address the people ofLos Angeles on Monday evening. Febru-ary 14. The location of the meeting willbe announced later. From letters re-ceived by Secretary Cooper, Mr. Townewillreceive a rousing reception in all theplaces he will visit, and the outcome ofhis trip west will be watched with greatinterest by all Interested in the cause ofsilver.

Child's PlaySeveral hundred people attended the

entertainment given at the First Chris-tian church last evening under the aus-pices of Miss Katherine Page. A littleplay, called "The Midgets' Wedding,"was enacted by children in the early partof the evening and was followed byclassical groupings and posings byyoung ladies in Grecian garb, whichwere made the more effective by the useof colored light. The second half of theprogram was made up of drills, panto-

mime and music. The whole entertain-ment was so eminently successful thntit has been decided to repeat it tjpnight at

the same place, wtih a reduced fee ofadmission.
