Demosthenean Debate

The Demosthenes debating lyceum Of this
city gave it's first entertainment at the
Stimson Lafayette industrial school last
night. A capital musical and literary pro-
gram was rendered.
F. Dominguez delivered an eloquent ad-
dress, followed by few words from w.
Allander, who reviewed the work of the
Democratic state convention, from which
he had just returned. He denounced the
Southern Pacific railroad and spoke warmly
of the champion of anti-monopoly, James
G. Mcguire.
An orchestra furnished music under the
able leadership of N. Laraia.
The debate of the evening was on the
resolution that an Offensive and defensive
alliance between Great Britain and the
United States would be beneficial to the
United States. For the affirmative, w.
Morgan, A. B. Strubel; for the negative, L.
Bryant, L. Swan. The affirmative received
the decision of the judges.
An grafton on Patriotism" by W. Glib
son concluded the program.

AFTER A WORLDS RECORD
w. q. Furman Will Try for It Mex

An attempt will soon be made by w. G.
Furman to lower the worlds record for
a straightaway mile, flying start, paced.
He will make the trial some time next
month. after the Riverside races, which
take place on the 9Th. There is a fine.
level course Of three miles near Monroy;a.
and the intention is to have Furman.
paced by sextette. try and lower the rec
ord of 1877, which is now held by H. B.
Freeman of Portland, Or. Furman expects
to ride a 120 gear. 1t will require about a
mile in which to get the machine under
way, another mile in which to bring It to
a standstill. so the course selected is about
right in all ways.

ANOTHER BUNCO GAME.
TELEPHONE TAKES THE PLACE
OF THE TAPE
Fitzgerald & Co. at Their Old Tricks.
The Police Haven't Discov-
cred Them Yet

For the last two months or so crowd Of
men have been deluding themselves into
thinking that they have been making easy
money by playing that old tape game
fraud, or at least lineal descendant of Il.
Fitzgerald & Co., at No. 2121k South Spring
street, have been conducting bucket shop
for months past, and In the rear Of the
place they also operate with quotations on
fictitious stocks. Formerly the fluctuation
of the stocks" were told by drawing a
piece Of tape out of a little brass box. THIS
method was exposed, and the conductors
forced to close up shop. But the man who
makes his living through the losses of his
fellow men IS Of as ingenious and peculiar
he can give the Artful Dodger cards ana
a turn OF mind as the heather Chinee, and
spades when 1t comes 10 evading the law.
The latest dodge to lure the dollars of
the sucker Is to have the quotations sent
by phone. A telephone box is rugged up,
and man is seated in front Of the phone
which may be dummy for all the public
knows-while the receiver Is fastened to
his ear. At intervals he calls of the latest
Quotations of stocks. Where those fig
ures which decided whether the man who
has bought or sold, looses, come from, is as
much a mystery as the identity of the as
sailant of the late William Patterson. The
game goes on just the same, and still there
are plenty Of fools found to patronize It.
About dozen men were playing the
game yesterday but the amount Of money
wagered was small. 1t seems strange the
police have not learned of the game. but
inasmuch as the new ordinance regarding
gambling has been passed they may
awake from their spring fever reposo
and do some work.

ARRESTED FOR CRUELTY
Another Charge Thought to Be Behind
the Arrest

David Mckay, manager for Gabel the
tailor. was arraigned before Justice Owens
yesterday on charge of cruelty to animals
and released on 500 bail. There is thought
to be more behind the arrest than is dis
closed in the complaint as 1t is said that
petty larceny is the real cause for Nc
Kay's Incarceration. He was arrested
Wednesday night and locked in the city
prison. no charge being preferred against
him until the following day. There ap-
pears to be no doubt but that Mickey had
been driving a porr. apparently broken
down horse, whose back was sore and
whose Bones ached with years Of toll.
Mckay resides at ia West Fourteenth
street and is engaged in erecting house.
According to the published story concern
Ing his arrest, he is thought by the de-
tectives 70 have been in the habit of hitch
ing up his sore-backed horse, driving about
the city after dark and carrying away bits
Of lumber and shingles which he could
use in the construction of his new home.
He had, 1t was alleged. accumulated con-
siderable pile of lumber by this method
The reason the more serious charge was
not brought against him, 1t was alleged.
was because of the inability of the detec-
tives to locate any owners Of the lumber
which he is supposed to have stolen. The
case was set for trial today.

WALTER WfBB'S NERVE
MINUS HIS MUSTACHE HE RE-
TURNS HERE
His Opportunities for Distinguishing
Himself Gone-Subscriptlon to
Send Him to Kamchatka

Walter L. Webb. he Of the iron hand and
brazen nerve, ex-school board boss ex-
seducer Of school teachers, who but few
weeks ago promised to go laundering down
to posterity as the Republican boss Of the
Ninth ward. but whose career was set on
its posterior as he was laundering down
elsewhere. has returned to the city. He
no longer has the golden opportunity for
coveting the salary of a poor janitor or the
virtue Of an uhsophisticated girl. but he
has brought his evil presence back to Los
Angeles just the same. People pass and
faces change rapidly In the kaleidoscope Of
life, and the face Of Webb is no exception
to the rule, for he has waited into the
city minus his long mustache. Possibly
since the exposure Of his methods he found
no necessity to gnaw anything. so he part
ed with his hirsute appendage. He spoke
to such Of his acQuaintances as would
speak to him, but did not state details re-
garding the purpose Of his visit or how
long he intends to remain. He Is said to
have expressed desire some time ago Of
going to the Philippine Islands. but the
scholastic affairs OF Manila do not as yet
demand his Iron hand" If Webb will
promise to be shipped to Kamchatka or
Madrid no doubt there are enough philan-
thropists here to pay the freight.
