THE DEWEY CLUB PICNIC
"Red" Phillips Gets the Double Cross
When the Beer Is Shut OF

The Dewey club gave picnic at syca-
more Grove yesterday. The Dewey
club Is composed Of the elite Of Los Angeles
society-that IL the reason that the chief
Of police had detailed every available detec-
tive and policeman in plain clothes to the
Arroyo Seco, besides having on the grounds
several uniformed Officers. His solicitude
went even 50 far as to have Sergeant Nc
Keag Of the East Side there the better part
Of the day to see that the members Of the
Dewey club observed the amenities Of life
and did not indulge In too many breaches Of
the peace.
The central figure around which the
Dewey club resolved was RED" Phillips
the gentleman Of pugilistic propensities. Wild
has lately had his name In the papers more
than he considers convenient, and it was for
cuse to exist. There were the usual picnic
games. with prizes donated by tradesmen;
there was the orchestra in the dancing pa
vilion, and there was beer. beer and beer.
But It was so hot and the boys had such q
thirst that the rapid consumption Of beer
threatened to become alarming. At four
o'clock Sergeant McKeag stopped that part
Of the program with as much vigor as the
namesake Of the club had stopped Admiral
Montijo's feet at Cavits. and the gloom
and depression which Immediately per-
vaded Sycamore Grove was painful to be-
hold. 1t was like q piece Of Ice down q
mans back. Some Of the boys and Dc
"goils' couldn't stand dat, and they began
to pull their freight for town at once
"Well," said Red Phillips. who had
somewhat slalxed his own thirst. and wal

While Phillips was thus complaining Of
providence and the police for making a
frost of his Dewey club picnic, the band
was playing TN the Streets Of Cairo" and
never quit until Phillips was through.
without beer the picnic was indeed a frost
and with so many policemen watching for
any funny business that might develop the
400 Of the Dewey club behaved like Sunday
school girls at a church festival.

given for Gen. Merritt, Dewey, the various

thing else for which any pretext could be
found. The cheering of those on shore was
answered by cheers from those on board,
and by far the most hearty Of these were
given for the Red Cross, the wearers of

comfort and supply our wants. Parting

but the increasing swell as the ship got into
the channel and neared the Golden Gate
forced first one and then another to seek .
comfortable place on deck or 30 below. As
we left the harbor we struck head wind
and head sea, and for the first eighteen or
twenty hours scarcely made more than Ave
knots and they were few indeed who did
not in q greater or less degree suffer the
pangs Of seasickness. However we struck
smoother water after that and have made
good time and Roadway since. As the
weather became more settled the sick ones
speedily recovered, until by Sunday all but
very few were up on deck and making the
best Of what there was to be had and done.
Putting 600 on a ship originally intended
to carry from 100 to $50 naturally results tn
quite a crowded condition. and owing to
the size Of the staff, even the officers are
more or less cramped for room. The state
rooms are all occupied. most Of them fur
nishing quarters for two, by the officers
and clerks, and the hold. in which are the
hunks for the enlisted men, is divided into
three sections, the forward one being oc-
cupied by the Astor light battery, the CEN

The Jerry Brothers Did Not Propose
TO Ba Johhed

The saying that when thieves fall out
honest men come to their dues. was strik-
ingly illustrated yesterday in the case Of a
quintet Of boys. Angelo Patrick. Joseph
Gray, two Jerry brothers and another boy
are alleged to have stolen q number Of
ducks from a yard in the vicinity Of the
Also street bridge and then disposed Of
their ill-gotten gains to several Los, An
geles street Chinese. To one OF the Celes-
tials they sold nine Of the ducks and to
another ten birds. Then came the trouble.
Several of the larger boys wanted to re-
tain most of the money. to which the
Jerry brothers objected. They had fight
over the division. with the result that the
Jerrys were defeated They felt as angry
as q woman scorned, so both went search
ing for the nearest police officers. whom
they eventually found.
Officers Harris and Rosso went with the
brothers and placed Patrick and Gray UNI
der arrest, as the Jerry brothers claimed
that the former had helped steal the ducks
and also tried to rob their companions IN
petty crime. Patrick and Gray were
charged with pdtty larceny, while the
Jerry boys, the informers, were allowed to

A Clean Sweep.

The new city government by its
phatic notice that, so far as the DEM
ocratic party is concerned, it wants
nothing more to do with non parti-
zanship in local affairs
This is the only Interpretation that
can be put upon the action of the
democratic members of the board.
Every democratic office holder I'M
der the last administration has
been reappointed; every republican
has been replaced. Fitness in either
case has not been taken into the ac-
count; it WAS sufficient for the pur
poses of the controlling spirits of the
board that one was republican, and
the other a democrat.
From partizan point of view, this
action is perfectly right; if we must
have party in local politics, let's have
it straight The party now in power
has clearly declared itself, and there
is nothing left for the republicans to
do but to meet the enemy upon its
own ground. Each party will here
after know exactly where the other
stands, and neither may expect con-
sideration from the other.
Non partizanship i'll the municipal
affairs of Ellsworth has been tried at
long intervals three times. Twice be-
fore 1t has failed, but not SO disas
trously that men of both parties had
not the courage to attempt it again.
Three years ago it was tried in good
faith for third time, and now it falls
with a dull sicllening thud, and its
most ardent advocates are prepared
to give it a parting kick. Whatever
it may be elsewhere, it is Il dismal
failure in Ellsworth.
The democrats have thrown down
the gauntlet, and the republicans will
not be slow IN picking it up.

Politics in School Affair,

In their zeal to re establish parti
zanship in local affairs in this city, the
controlling element in the new adj
ministration has gone a step farther
than either party ever dared to do
before; it has injected politics into
the government of the schools.
Until this year the school board has
had five members, one from each
ward. They have been chosen re-
gardless of their political views. But
now, for very poorly concealed rea-
Sons, 81 cider is introduced and
passed increasing the number to
seven, and forthwith two new mem
bers are chosen, both democrats The
board has TO more use for two new
members than a cat has for two new
tails, but il increases the democratic
strength III the board. and if per-
chance the party is successful a year
hence, two more democrats can be
added, and presto! the school board
as well as all the other branches of the
city government viii be under demo-
cratic control.
This move is more than a misfor-
tune, il is menace. Until now the
management of our schools has been
free from the faint of partizanship;
it has been in the hands OF men
known rs educators. either by train
ing or inclination or both. Chilcott,
Knowton, Lord, Moore. Wharf who
asked or cared for thu political views
of these men?
Is it possible that he good people
of Ellsworth are going to permit the
training of their children to become
the football of political party?
We are almost disposed TO advise
the present board, al its meeting
next Monday, contrary to the senti-
ment just expressed, to elect for su-
perintendent no one who is not a re-
publican. That would, at least for
this year, set off one department of
the city government from all the rest,
and afford chance for comparison, if
what we believe is meant by increas-
ing the size of the board should prove
TO be true.
If we must have partizanship in
local affairs, pray let's except the con-
troll of the schools. To subject it to
the slough of politics would be disas-
ter indeed.
