In spite Of inclement weather and
strong counter attractions, several hun
dred people attended the formal open
ing and reception at the new armory
of the Seventh regiment, N. G. c. last
evening.
The elaborate and effective decora-
tions of magnificent flags, bunting, mus
kets, swords and other accouterments
were in place as they had been for the
Sunday services; the officers of Troop
d. the signal corps and companies A,

assisted in providing in any and every
way for the comfort and pleasure of
their guests.

ASSAULT TO RAPE
That Felony Charge Preferred Against
Henry Casperson

Henry Casperson, who was arrested
Saturday by Detectives Steele and Good
man on a charge Of battery, for his al
legged assault upon Mrs. F. c. Halde-
man, is to be prosecuted on the charge of
assault with intent to commit rape. He
was in the police court yesterday ready
to answer to the charge which the de-
tectives had registered against him, but
when the warrant on the felony charge
was served on him then he naturally
wanted time to prepare his defense. The
case was therefore continued until Sat
urday and on that date it may again be
continued. The accused is baker. He
denies his guilt and has repeatedly as
serted that he did nothing that he now
remembers which could be considered
an assault.

is an expression of the public conscious
ness that the ultimate dependence either
Oh nation or state for safety and security
from dangers either internal or external
sun continues to be upon armed force.
Inc resort to its use may be infrequent,
put lts very infrequency is largely due to
the fact that the armed force exists. Long
intervals OF peace, international and do
mestic, tend to produce Indifference, but
they do not wholly obliterate the public
sense or the constant imminence of war.
reel myself justified in directing your
attention for few moments to what the
inliitary service that is being done by these
young men involves. I have said that 1t
Is not profession or employment, SER
wee Ior hire or means of livelihood. In
'ne regular army establishment the SER
Vice, for the rank and file, is an employ
ment and means of livelihood under condi-
tlons as regards clothing, subsistence and
sheiter that as rule very much exceed in
comfort the lot of the masses who in civil
avocations depend upon their employment
Tor a livelihood, while for the officer 1T is
profession, in which, after receiving the
gratuity of an education, there Is for him
lifelong career wherein the gratifica-
ton of an ambition for honor or distinc-
tion is unhampered by the business cares
of the civilian or concern for the morrow s
food or clothing or shelter But in the Ma
tional guard the service is in addition to
and aside from the vocations from which
the means of livelihood are derived Only
those who have performed the service can
appreciate the sacrifice it involves in time
and labor.
Their military service yields them
neither food nor shelter, nor yet the wages
Wherewith to obtain these. They may see
in their military service kind of diversion
they would regret to forego, but they can
not possibly regard it as an employment or
means of livelihood whose loss they would
deplore. True, those who do the service
do not have to. But who, if called upon
to pass judgment upon any act of service
will value 1t the less because it is the act
of volunteer instead of a conscript?
These young men do not have to do this
work of fitting themselves to perform mill
tary duty, but one thing they do have to do
is, when disorder comes with which civil
authority cannot DEAL they must go forth.
and at whatever hardship or peril to them
selves and theirs. protect teh lives and
property of others. And let me say 1t
here that these young men will do this duty
If it is asked of them. At the greatest
crisis in our nations history the organized
militia responded with alacrity to the call
of duty and the patriotism that was in the
blood of the fathers is not absent from the
veins of their sons.

LOOMS MAY DIE
Victim of A. L. Allred's Knife in a
Serious Condition

r. M. Loomis, who, during a quarrel

was cut six times with pocket knife by
A. l.. Alfred, is said to be in critical
condition at his home on East Thirty

Since Friday, however, the condition of
the injured man has grown steadily
worse, and there Is now danger that
blood poisoning may sppervene.
Alfred was released on bail Saturday.
He claims to have acted in self-defense,
saying that before he used his knife

This Loomis denies, saying that Alfred
set upon him while he was milking his
COW and that there was no provocation
for the assault.

ORPHEUM.-It would take more rain
than has been vouchsafed to Southern
California this season to empty the
seats at the Orpheum or to cool the ardor
of those who filled them last night.
The "broad and the long of it, in the
person of Cummings and Gore, with a
change of old jokes was succeeded by
Maud B. Price, who looked fresh and
pretty in a lavender silk. Her voice is
not remarkable except that she articu-
lates well. Her song, 81 Stole a Plum"
was capital. Barney and Russell fol-
lowed in quick changes of costume, and
Paulo and Dika came next with no
change. Just French and Frenchy. The
woman's dress is dainty in its combina-
tion of pink and blue, suggesting the wild
rose and the spangles, drops of dew
French dew. Their songs may be
naughty, but the language is foreign,
and one half forgives it as they pose so
gracefully.
What lad like Carter de Haven will
develop into when he grows up is a ques-
ton. Just now he looks in his jaunty
little satin knickers, white kid gloves
and toy cane, as if some fond mother
had arrayed him for a children's party.
Yet he comes out and sings the sugges-
tive songs of the day with all the know
ing winks and intonations of an old
comedian. The audience let him go only
out of tender consideration for his age.
The Italian trumpet call does not differ
in effect from our own bugle, and AL
mont and Dumont contrived to make
music out of it so thrilling as to set
every foot in the house to beating a
quickstep. With their other instru-
ments, too numerous to mention, the
team furnishes the music for whole
orchestra.
Violet Dale looked as pretty as pic
ture when she kissed her hand to a Los
Angeles audience for the first time last
night. She appeared to enter with enjoy
ment, into the dancing, spinning about
and perfect whirlwind of pinwheels she
makes of herself with such evident ease
and grace. When she sings Guilbert's
song, Il Must Not Show My Petticoat,
Violet's abbreviated dress makes her
resolution rather far-fetched.
Rice and Elmer closed an evening OF

SIX MONTHS IN JAIL
Bicycle Thief Severely Punished by
Justice Owens

Russell Haigier, who pleaded guilty to
two charges of petty larceny, consisting
of the theft of two bicycles, appeared
before Justice Owens yesterday for SEN
tence. He had acknowledged having
rented two wheels and sold them at a
pawnshop and secondhand store. His
only defense was that he was drunk at
the time and did not realize what he was
doing He said he did not need the mon
ey he secured for the wheels, but sold
them because that was an easier way of
disposing of them than to take them
back to their owners. Inasmuch as the
bicycles were secured on different days
and sold at different places, his story is
considered improbable. Justice Owens
fined him $780, with the usual alternative
of $50 days in Jail.
