we have decided not to have any contest

our members of the bar will decide.
There was certainly large crowd OF
orderly, good-natured men swarming
through the rooms, and among them was
much discussion and dispute, in which
an 1895 amendment to the penal code was
receiving due attention. The code on the
subject is well understood by the well'
read members. 1t was approved in March,
1893, and is to the effect that it shall be
unlawful for any person or persons to er'
gage in what is generally known as prize
lighting. with or without gloves, whereby
bruising or manning or other serious
bodily injury may result to the partici.
pants. The penalty section is to the
effect that any and all persons engaging
in contests designated III section one OF
this act, either as principals, aids. sec.
onds or backers. shall be guilty OF felony.
and upon conviction shall be fined not
less than $1,000 nor more than $4,000, and
be imprisoned in the state prison not less
th an one year, nor more than three years.
No one seemed to know definitely just
what the 1895 amendment has to say on
the subject. but the general impression
prevailed that it prohibits any kind of
ring contest whatever. Therefore if this
contest was to be held under Marquis of
Queensberry rules. the four-sided ring
prescribed in them barred the contest.

SAVE THE BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS

The contemplated change of the head
quarters of the First brigade from Los An
geles to Fresno Is one that should arouse
the liveliest interest in and provoke the
most emphatic protest from the people of
our city. Many considerations Of vital
importance to US present them selves. In
Mondays Herald an account giving in
detail the plans for the formation OF the
three new brigades authorized by the last
legislature was given. The geographical
vided for places the militia of the San Joa
quin valley and south of Tehachepi in the
First brigade, instead of as at present
only that OF Los Angeles and contiguous
counties. But by far the larger proper
tion of it will bs made up of the compa-
nies in the last named counties. This lat
ter fact and the location of Los Angeles
in the territory set apart for the brigade
should most decidedly suggest to Gov
ernor Budd the propriety and expe-
diency of selecting this city as the head
quarters. The strategic importance of
this point in a military sense is amply
testified to by various reports from Off
GERS of the regular army, filed in the war
department at Washington. And it was
practically demonstrated last summer.
when the federal government hurried its
troops during the time of anticipated dis
order past Fresno, the place now being
considered. to this city. Los Angeles has
liotous era than any other five cities cf
the brigade's area.
1t has the best railroad, telegraphic,
telep homie and transportation facilities
of any community in the limits under dis
cussion. In brief, it cannot be eoualed
by any of the others because it possesses
to degree not approached by them, all
the facilities and qualifications absolutely
essential in military capital.
Then the transfer will mean pc.
cuniary loss to our city of some little
consequence, and that should not be
overlooked. The signal corps. now sta
toned here, and the hospital and ambu-
lance corps to be organized under the
recent enactment of the legislature, will
undoubtedly go to the new Headquarters.
These adjuncts to the service will expend
not less than $500 per month. OF course
this only amounts to about $1,000 per year.
and the loss of that amount OF business
would not seriously cripple our local
trade, but the principle should be kept in
sight that we desire to maintain intact
the volume of business we have built up,
and that to do it we must preserve the
parts. be they ever so Insignificant. The
citizen soldiery of Los Angeles who de-
sire to retain for their city the prestige
of being the brigade home. and the peo-
pie who wish to enjoy the military and
pecuniarv advantages that are SO obvious,
should bestir themselves with prompt
ness and energy if they wish to prevent

before the senate investigating commit

When asked how much money the firm

ABUSED BY THE WHITES
Another Complaint From Indians in the
Northwest


Northwest
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Captain J. Il.
Bubb, Fourth infantry, acting Indian
agent at Fort Spokane, WASH, sent the
following dispatch to the Indian bureau
today:
'"Calispell is here complaining that
his people in Calispell valley are being
abused by white settlers who are taking
their lands from them and threatening
their lives. He says they cannot stand
it any longer and wants me to go there.
The sheriff of Stevens county has ex-
pected trouble there for some time. l do

them to retain their land. but some one

Z. At the Indian bureau 1T is statedsthat
the Calispell or Pend d'Oreile Indians
have been cultivating their lands in the
handle of Northern Idaho for many
years and that they are peaceful and civ
ilized.

move them to another location, and an

THE EFFECT ON SILVER

S. Itvwould seem as though too much
stress is being laid upon the effect that
the paying OF the Chinese war indemnity
is to have on silver. The amount report
ed is 200, 900, 600 taels to be paid in five
annual installments of 10000, 900 taels.
But this does not necessarily mean a new
production of silver. The metal received
by the Japanese will not go into hiding.
1t will be spent about as fast as received.
Other silver using countries will take it
from Japan, and they in their turn will
pass it along. The war has caused a
great deal of destruction to Japan as we'll
as to China. She will have much to re-
place and renew. So that between the
receipt of the indemnity in installments
and the ready expenditure of it, the effect
on the price of silver can be hardly per-
centible

LET US REASON TOGETHER

The fact is the monetary situati on is
too serious to be made the subject of ridi-
cule by either faction, and the arguments
for or against either the single gold stand
ard or free silver coinage lose all weight
when the newspapers giving them devote
their most prominent mage to caricatures
which insult the very persons their argu
ments are designed to influence. 1t is ex-
ceedingly difficult to convince man by
appeals to his reason, judgment or pa
triotism when he is being sneered at as
an ignoramus.-Chicago Record.
The above is pertinent and timely. Not
only in the discussion OF the money ques-
ton, but in the consid GRAFTON of nearly
all the important subjects affecting the
welfare of the people is the tendency al
together too strong on each side to claim
monopoly of honesty, intelligence
and patriotism.

THE CATHOLIC AID SOCIETY
Report for Past Year by the Retiring President,
Mrs. " porct

At the meeting of the Catholic Ladies'
Aid society, held last Friday, the follow
ing report, addressed to the bishop,
clergy and members Of the society, was
read by the retiring president, Mrs. V.
Ponet:
"Another years labor of this society
has drawn to close with results as bene-
fetal to the INDECENT as they are crafty
ing to each individual member. Accord
ing to the treasurer's report the amount
received during the year was $3339. 43; the
disbursements, $2sS1.20, leaving balance
OF $427.2S. The number of families helped
was SIG, while the articles of clothing dis
tributed amounted to thousands. In this
matter we have reason to be thankful to
the noble children of the public schools,
who. on last Thanksgiving day. so gener-
ously donated colthing to the pooi.
When we consider the number of
cases of distress and poverty which con-
ceal themselves from public scrutiny.
even IN many respectable homes, some
idea may be obtained of the good effected
by these silent workers, whose sympa-
thetic feelings and pure motives are
known to God alone. They have in all
earnestness tultilled the Masters behest
they have increasingly apr cared in the
homes OF Gods poor. giving bread to the
hungry. raiment to the naked and solace
to hearts burdened with care. Each
member has acted nobly in the good
work.
''We are in sympathy with the efforts
made to suppress fraud; our society is
to give aid by finding work for those who
are well; to raise the poor to lives of self
respect and self-support. To this end we
nrge the ladies of this society never to
give without due knowledge, and recon-
mend that the records at the Associated
Charities be consulted by those to whom
application for aid is made.
''In retiring today from the position
we held. we trust that our successors will
be more adapted to promote the interest
of the society as, also, its welfare. Now
as in the past, you bave my cooperation
and best wishes and now permit me to
return grateful thanks to our good bishop
Adam. and to the reverend clergy for fire.

''Io the board of supervisors we return
grateful thanks; to Mr.. T. J. Stewart for
his kind and polite attention; to the gen.

encouragement; to the physicians who aid
the poor by gratuitous calls and prescrip-
tions and to all our benefactoIs and

The Police Appear at the Los
Angeles Athletic Club
INDIGNATION OF MEMBERS
A New Law Said to Prevent All
Glove Contests
What Clubmen and Police Have to Say on the
Subject--"What Are We Coming To?'
Say They-Uneasiness all Around

| Long faces and angry eyes were in Or
der at the Los Angeles Athletic club last
| night as the crowd began to assemble to
witness the tifteen.roun boxing contest
between Billy Gallagher of Los Angeles
and Jack Fogharty OF Brooklyn. and the
management announced that it was the
intention to arrest everyone present
should the mill come off and therefore
the contest was declared off until an un-
derstanding could be reached.
But the club is made up OF respectable,
law-abiding citizens and the dark frowns
soon gave way to lively general discus
sion of the merits of the case. The prin-
cipals, seconds and ring officers lounged
around awhile. feeling like fish out of
water and then departed, the crowd
gradually broke up to go home.
John Brink, local business man and a
director, who was to referee the contest
was angry that it should be thought he
would take any part in any brutal,
bloody, slugging match. 1--WE have the
flower Of the city in our mem bership,'
said he, land | value my reputation too
highly to do such a thing. | should be
one OF the first to stop any such contest.
This town is getting too good to live in,
or there's screw loose somewhere"
DR.. W. +. Kennedy one of the lights
OF the club. was also indignant that the
impression should get abroad that the Los
Angeles Athletic Club was a crowd of
roughs. "Our reputation, business and
social standing will not permit it," he
said. ''We have some of the most prom
inent citizens OF the city within the club,
and may OF them are here right now.

brutal iowdies? Those policemen there
have seen the articles of ageement in this
instance, ana they know that this is not

of boxing skill that we have been holding
for the last ten years without interference.

Long and ardently she had loved him,
but IN no way did the young and beauti-
full creature indicate that her love was re-
turned. Sometimes, indeed. shy glance
from his soft eyes, or lowering of the
beautiful head, gave to her a half hope,
but in moment the semi-confession was
denied by the coy dignity which envel-
oped him as in a mantle. And now the
time had come when she would put her
fate to the test and try to look within his
young and innocent heart. Scratching a
match on the seat of her Turkish pants
and lighting fresh cigar to give her
courage, she addressed him:

SAN FRANCISCO, May THE at.
torneys for Theodore Durrant believe they

Williams case. A hair dresser on Market

her shop at 8 O'Clock on the evening she

there could be no mistake in identitica-
tion. The attorneys say that if she en-

have reached Emanuel church before $3.50.
According to this. they argue that Dur
rant could not escort her into the church,
commit murder and outrage and then
walk to the Vogel residence, where he
arrived at 9:15.
