MINIS MUST ANSWER
The Crazy Acting Negro Burglar Held Over
for Trial

bor Itoi
Joseph Minis, the negro burglar cap
.ured several weeks ago In the Bryson
block, was yesterday given his prelimi-
nary examination before Justice owens,
resulting in his being held for trial under
bonds of $4,000. Minis was captured in
his room which was furnished in
sumptuous manner with rugs, lace cur
tains, portieres, mirror etc., nearly all
of which had been stolen from the store
of l. D. Martin, the South Spring street
furniture dealer.
Mr.. Martin identified the plunder and
said 1t had been taken from his store
on at least two different occasions in
the middle of last month Minis had for
mcrly worked for him and evidently
knew the weak points about the store
for he had gained entrance through an
iron trap door In the sidewalk which was
never locked. He had but to lift the trap,
drop down into the cellar, from there
go up into the store and secure anything
he wanted.
The night watchman and one of the
janitors Of the Bryson block testified to
seeing Minis coming in at late hours
OF the night carrying bundles and on one
occasion a large mirror. Detectives
Auble and Hawley recited the story of
the capture and exciting struggle with
the negro, which closed the case for the
prosecution. Minis offered no defense
and was promptly held to answer He

the examination sat in a corner sullen

A small boy who has inherited a pain

in his nursery decorations. Around the
room above the washboards Is stretched
coarse brown paper about thirty inches
wide. 1t resembles the now antiquated

A box of water colors and few colored
crayons have been all that was needed
to illustrate all the fairy tales and to
create several original heroes unknown
to the general public AS soon as one

ABORIGINAL MUSIC
Prof. FlIImore's Very Valuable Research on On
Interesting Subject

Prof. PiiImore's Very Valuable Research on an
Interesting Subject
The lecture given by Prof John Com
fut Fillmore of Claremont college last
evening in the Friday Morning club
rooms was fairly well attended.
Had the music lovers of the city
known how interesting and instructive
1t would have been. a much larger room
would not have held the audience
Prof. Fillmore, who Is in Southern
California for the health of some MEM
Der Of his family, was formerly director
OF the Milwaukee College of Music, and
Is the highest living authority on abor-
iginal music.
The lecture was given for the benefit
Of the Landmarks club, and the presi-
dent, Mr.. Charles f. Lummis, presented
the speaker in brief but characteristic
remarks.
Prof. Fillmore introduced his lecture
with Navajo song on the graphophone.
The music Of the Navajo Indians Is the
most primitive of any tribe, and 1t was
used to illustrate the natural percep-
tfon of the aboriginal for harmonic
tones.
People have BEN saying for years. said
the speaker, that the Indian has a dit-
ferent scale from ours. but 1t has been
UlhCOVeTeQ lHdI lie ust,S the same tones
as the Scandinavian, Scotchman, Arab,
Malay, Chinaman and all other races
and people.
The Indian is a very religious person.
He regards everything outside of HIM
self as a manifestation of spirit. The
wind, sun, the brook, treesand the earth
all possess spirit.
Indian prayers are always sung. not
repeated, and they are always dignified
and devout at worship. The Omahas
have choral service that requires an
hour and q half to perform, the theme of
which is: Peace on earth, good will to
men,"
Zach one In the tribe has his or her own
song, which no one but himself ever
sings Each mother sends her son, when
he comes Of suitable age, out to fast and
pray until he sees vision, which is usu-
ally that of some animal. With this Wis
ion in some mysterious way comes a
song, which becomes exclusively his
own. So it is with their societies, which
have mystery songs that no one ever
sings outside the lodge.
An interesting description was given of
the Calumet society among the Oma-
has, and the lecture was illustrated
throughout with aboriginal music on
the plano and graphophone. The music
of the Omahas shows a much higher
stage of development than any other
tribe. All of the selections given were
sweet and musical, some of them hav-
ing the minor strains SO familiar in
Scotch airs.

EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN
Sixty Destitute Women Apply for Work-Many
Helpless Families

Helpless Families
The opening of a room in the Muskegon
block today for the purpose Of assisting
the unemployed and needy women Of
Los Angeles developed early in the day
its necessity.
The plan was evolved by committee
of earnest and prominent women who
have spent much time in crystallizing
the form of their work.
The committee consists of Mrs. T. d.
Stimson, Mrs. Felix c. Howes, Mrs.
Hamlin, Mrs. Frank A. Gibson, Mrs.
Harriet Wadleigh, Mrs. D. G. Stephens,
Mrs. R. L. Craig, Mrs. ]. S. Slauson.
This volunteer committee met at Mrs.
Stephens house on Saturday night
and decided to ask the executive COM
mittee for $1,000 to be devoted to the wo-
men in their need.
On presentation of the matter, the
committee said they could not dispose
of the money In their possession save
for the purpose 1t was intended, that OF
beautifying the city. The committee of
ladies', therefore, have today busted
themselves in attempting to find en-
ployment for the needy and destitute
women who have come for work today
In response to their invitation.
About sixty women have applied to-
day, many of them in great distress;
widows with families, wives with hus-
bands who are invalids, all needy, all
suffering.
One woman. with family Of five
children, the oldest but thirteen, came
absolutely faint with hunger.
One came whose husband was killed in
that mangle explosion of a week ago,
her only food had been provisions sent
by some one knowing her dire need.
The committee of ladies are anxious
that every one who can give any en-
ployment to these women do so at once.
They ask that material be brought to-
morrow to the Muskegon block, ma
terial cut and ready to sew, plain sewing
of all kinds. that may be given out to
those applying for work.
The ladies' are registering the appli-
cants and are Investigating each case,
and they ask that every worthy one be
supplied with work.
II every householder would take this
time for a renovation of the house it
would give employment to more women
than have registered now. Even those
who are not In the habit of employing
help could take this time to give out
some work in order to assist those
women who In this city need even the
food of each day for themselves and
their little ones.

A gentleman while making the morn

said they found Postum, the health cof-

then, but it didn't agree with her.

and for the same money we get three
cups of Postum to one of coffee. The

costs us more than coffee, but we all
feel we'll, ard that Is something.
