REGISTER YOUR COW
Milk Dealers Must Hereafter Comply
With Regulations

The health office on yesterday issued an
order which will be of interest to many
persons in the city who are undoubtedly in
ignorance of the fact that they are violat-
ing the law. Section65 of ordinance 22SS
provides that every person in the city of
Los Angeles who sells milk to any other
person, whether they have one COW or a
hundred, and every person outside of the
city who brings milk into the city to SELL
whether they have one cow or a hundred
must register their cow or cows at the
milk. The registration and permit cost
nothing. The idea is to keep track of every
milk COW furnishing the lacteal fluid for
consumption by infants or adults, so that
the animals and the milk may be inspected
whenever necessary.
The time allowed under the ordinance
for obtaining permits to sell milk expired
yesterday and over one hundred milk deal
ers, some of them dairymen who are known
to the health department as engaged in the
business of furnishing milk to families,
have failed to obey the law and obtain the
necessary permits.
The health officer has granted an extern
sion of ten days time in order allow all
persons amenable to the law an opportu-
nifty to comply with it's provisions, but at
the expiration of the ten days the ordi-
nance will be vigorously and vigorously en-
forced. If you keep COW and sell milk
go and register the animal. 1t will cost
nothing and may save a fine

MUSIC

Last evenings concert given by the
Ysaye-Gerardy-Lacha trio at Simp-
son tabernacle was a triumph of the Sc
verely classical music over the popular. 1t
has been said that Los Angeles audience
would always be perfunctorily complaisant
over a program which presented only that
music which can be appreciated by the
brain, and whose effect on the sensibilties
Is secondary to that on the mind, but the
hundreds who listened last evening to a
succession of Mendelssohn, Saint Saens,
Pergolese, Wieniawsk, Chopin and Pepper
found it all an enjoyment from the first to
the last note which words will hardly de-
scribe, and enthusiastically gave expression
to their delight.
Ysaye is said to have been not quite HIM
self in point of accuracy and finish on the
evening before, but, however this may be,
he never could have played better In his life
than he did all through the trying numbers
last night. While Gerardy and Lachaume
were fully up to the superlative excellence
showed by him, perhaps the second named
excelled the great master a trifle.
In the first number, trio in D minor by
Nendelssohn, the audience had compo-
sition a coldly severely classical as a column
of the Parthenon, there were always the it.
srations and constant different placements
of the six-note motif simple as Doric capt.
tai, yet as exquisite and complete as a can
vas by Raphael or Tintoretto. In this and
In Saint Saens Concerto Op. 33, in which he
played alone, the wonderful mastery and
technique of Gerardy were shown in full.
His cello gave the sonorous tones of per-
feet organ, and again was resonant as a
French horn, then again giving out all of
the throat tones Of perfect voice.
Perhaps the most effective number of
Ysaye's was his Saint Saens Third Con-
certo, where his most remarkable bow
work had full opportunity to command at
tention, while in the Concerto, OPP. 80, Ger
ardy In one passage executed possibly the
most difficult tour de force for Cello
that Of giving the lowest bass and the high
est most silvery treble notes, In an interval
hardly appreciable. In Peppers "Rhap-
sodie Hongroise' the boy again, for he is
not yet 20, displayed a force and elevation
that are simply marvellous in man whose
mind and soul must necessarily grasp by
intuition, and not as result of life and
inner development, the full meaning and
expression Of the tones he brings FORTH
Lachaume In his one selection had the
misfortune of appearing too close in con-
trast with other instruments to which a
plano in no ways can be compared In all
respects he is a master of the keys. and
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-06-02

probably has never been excelled by any
player who has visited this city save
Paderewski, and even this is question
which some will not be ready to admit
Ysaye preserved throughout the evening
his stolid demeanor and emotionless face,
slight swaying of the body being the only
betrayal he gives of any effect on his own
nature Of the superlative harmonies he
evokes, but this is perhaps an aid to the
listener, for the want of mannerisms does
not distract attention from his tones, which
come ripping into the ear as sweet and
powerful as If produced from strands of
mingled silk and gold. So much has been
written of all of these artists that little
is left to say of them, and. indeed little is
needed. No one requires to be advised to
hear Ysaye, but perhaps there are those
who do not know the supreme beauty OF
Gerardy's playing. To those the recon-
mendation to take advantage of the op-
portunity today to hear him cannot be made
too strong. He is beyond question the
most perfect cello player in this coun-
try, and it is doubtful if his equal exists.
The program last evening was:
Trio in D minor (Mendelsso ohm; motto al
legro; andante con motto tranquillo; sherzo;
finale-Lachaume, Ysaye, Gerardy.
Concerto, OPP. SO &C. Saint Saens)-M. Ger

THAT DETECTIVE HOSE
CHIEF MOORE REPORTS TO THE
FIRE COMMISSION
MORE MIGRANTS ARE NEEDED
The Dairy Ordinance to Be Strictly
Enforced-Health officers Will
Make Arrests After 10 Days

The meeting Of the board Of fire COM
missioners yesterday was principally de-
voted to the consideration Of the big fire
on Monday afternoon last.
All sorts of questions were asked and
answered during the discussion Of the fire,
the report of Chief Moore being very full
and explicit.
After complimenting the police for the
manner in which the immense crowds at
the fire were handled, Chief Moore said
that the greatest difficulty the department
encountered in extinguishing the blaze was
the constant bursting of hose. No less
than eleven sections of hose burst during
the progress of the fire, and, as is always
the case, the sections were part of the
lines most needed.
The commission at once asked II the
chief knew what brand of hose had burst
and that officer answered that he did, but
suggested that the names OF the brands
and the firms furnishing the same be made
a confidential matter with the commission
The chief explained that his only object in
making the request was to obviate the
possibility of any injustice being done. He
explained that the life" of fire hose
was figured at four years and also added
that every line of hose in use at Monday $
fire was subjected to the several possible
strain, as the engines were working at full
pressure all the time.
The commission insisted upon detailed
report of the service of the hose and Chief
Moore then furnished the following fig
ures and facts, showing the following
brands of hose, purchased in the years
noted, had failed to stand the pressure at
the critical moment: Three sections Bay
State, Boston, 1894; one section Baker
Fabric, 1885, two sections Paragon. 1894;
one section Bay State, 1895; two sections
Bowers Rubber company, California prod
uct, 1896; one section Bowers Rubber COM
pany 1896; one section Bowers Rubber
company, 1897.
On motion of Commissioner Wells the
clerk of the board was ordered to notify the
Bowers Rubber company to replace the
hose which failed to stand the pressure.
The chief called attention to the lack of
fire hydrants on Los Angeles, Broadway
and other streets, and recommended that
in all long blocks in the city, especially
in the business section, hydrants be placed
in the middle of the blocks.
The following alarms were reported for
the week: May 2S, at p. M, from box 46,
Pearl and Fourth streets, alfalfa hay, loss
$50; May 80, at $3.50 p. M, false alarm; May
80, at $50 p. M, from box IS, cottage at Coz
East Twenty-ninth street, Mrs. Gueritz
owner. gasoline stove explosion. loss $780,
May 81, at 1 p. m, dwelling at 937 East
Eleventh street, no loss.
The commission then adjourned.

Courage of the Stay-at-Home

1t sometimes requires more and better
courage to stay at home than to go to
war. Many a man who If duty would per-
NIT him to volunteer, would be glad to go,
is compelled by the most solemn and bind
ing of all human obligations to stay at
home. 1t is not a manly, wise or heroic
thing for a citizen to leave his wife, chill
dren, parents or sisters in want in order to
go where he is not needed. So long as
there is a surplus of men who want to en-
list, and whose presence at home is not
essential to the support of families, no man
whose presence is thus required has a
moral right to enlist.-Washington Post

NAV Be Murder

Under Sheriff Clements and Deputy Mar
tin Aguirre have been engaged since yes
terday in investigating the mysterious dis
appearance of Wong Sam, well-to-do
Chinese laundryman of Pasadena. wong
had considerable trade at Tropico and Glen
dale and is we'll known in that neighbour
hood On Tuesday night Sam Hunter found
the horse and wagon of the Chinese at Palm
station, on the branch of the Terminal rail-
road to Glendale, but no indications OF the
Chinese were to be found. YESTERDAY morn
ing one of Sans partners went to Tropico
in quest of the missing man. The partner
said that Sam had left Pasadena on Tues
day with considerable money, and fears
were expressed by the Chinese that Sam
had met with foul play. The sheriff was
notified by telephone and the officers went
out in search of the Chinese, but up to
late hour had got no trace of him.

Clayton and Williams, the men who stole
a tent from f. Withrow and were convicted
of petty larceny, will not be taken to OAK
land to stand examination for burglary.
After Detective Steele learned that they
were wanted in the mort Tern city a dispatch
was sent to the chief of police notifying him
of their arrest. The Oakland officer wired
in reply yesterday, stating that the men
were wanted and he would send for Them
A second dispatch was received from him,
probably an hour later, in which the sur
prising information was given that the men
would not be sent for, but a letter explain
ing why the authorities did not feel war
ranted in prosecuting the pair would be
sent Immediately The pair will be SEN
fenced for petty larceny today.
