UNWELCoME GUESTS.

The ''Army" WIN Be Given Cold Re-
ception at Washington.
WASHINGTON, March l3.-The war de-
partment has no request for rations
from any one connected with the Indus
trial league, said to be contemplating a
raid in force on Washington, and no
such requisition is likely 30 be honored
if made. The Grmy officers do not
relish the threat that the capital is to
be overrun by horde of unemployed
and hungry people, as it would add
greatly to the burden OF the relief or
gsnizations here. But. touching the
implied threat of trouble and disturb
ance In store for the town, if the extra
ordinary demands of the fomenters of
the Industrial league movement are not
granted, the army officers have no
anxiety. Ever since the riots here in
the seventies, the war department has
realized the Importance of having at
hand a sufficient force to meet any
emergency, and they feel that there
need be no fear OF trouble from this last
sensational movement.

DON'T TRIM PALM TREES
BUT SAVE THE BRANCHES FOR
THE COMING FIESTA.
A Suggestion to Heads of Families
AS to Decorations for the
Fast Approaching
Carnival.

The various committees on the forth
coming fiesta de Los Angeles are all
hard at work on their various details OF
duty and are sparing no pains to make
it the great event OF the year. The
committee on decorations OF streets,
houses and public buildings desire us to
ask all property owners having palms
growing in front of their residences to
postpone trimming off their lower boughs
until within a day or so of the fiesta, in
order that as many palm branches as
possible may be secured for decorative
purposes. Nothing looks more graceful
than handsome and artistic grouping
of palm branches; and nothing is so
we'll calculated to impress the eye of the
average climate refugee with the mem
ory OF beautiful picture. 1t will ad'
vertise the second renewal of the fiesta
quite as much aa can be effected by any
other method.
The best OF all Allah's gifts. says the
Arab, is the palm, and the old worlds
aborigine is better than half right, for it
affords him shelter from the SUMS
scorching rays at noon ana gives him his
frugal but hearty meal OF dates aJ night.
AS England's ancient Druids worshiped
the oak, 80 does the Bedouin Of the des-
ert love and revere the palm. In all
ages the palm has been an object of love,
if not of absolute alteration. 1t is in
delibly interviewer with the sweet old
story of the lowly Nazarene and Christ
ian and Mohsmmedan today vie with
each other in praise of its widespread
ing shade.
Let our good people who have made
Los Angeles city, not of marble
palaces, but OF sweet and tasteful homes
for those that toll, see to it that there is
no lack OF palms for la fiesta. 1t must
be q success, for score OF honest heads
and busy hands are working night and
day to make it 60. The nursery men
have already been notified with refer
ence to this matter, and will postpone
trimming their palms till the very last
possible moment. What il now needed
is cooperation throughout Los Angeles
and the neighboring cities, in order
that decorations with palms along the
line OF msrch may De made general all
over the city. Nothing else can add
half as much to the beauty and attrsc-
tiveness of the Angel city's annual
pageant.
