Many Side Trips.
In endeavoring to make the best use
of our ten days sojourn here there
have been trips made by members of
our party, to Riverside and Redlands,
to Mount Lowe. to Catalina Island to
Long Beach and to Pasadena Holly
wood, San Gabriel and number Of
other charming suburbs that nestle in
the valleys or stand out on the foot
hills of the mountains, in the near vi
cinity of Los Angeles. A contempor-
airy writer, well describes the sensa.
ton experienced by the tourist. He

HOPES TO SEE THE JAPANESE WIN
!, of Ottunlva, Says Sentiment 9of Chinese People
are Against Russia in Present Struggle.

The synipathies of the Chinese peo-
pie are with Japan in her present war
with Russia and I believe that the
struggle will end soon with. the Japs
the victors and that the Muscovite
will be driven back into his own coun-
try" declared T. B. Yuen of this city
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Yuen says
that "blood is thicker than water"
and even the humiliating defeat that
China suffered at the hands of Japan
a few years ago cannot make the
Chinaman forget that the Jap is real
.ly his brother.
Mr.. Yuen Is native of Hong Kong,
China. but left his native land for the
United States thirteen years ago and
for many years has been resident of
tOttumwa. He is very much interested
in the present war in the far east,
and talks Interestingly of the condi-
tions existing there. He says that if
he had his way he would soon put an
end to the proceedings by driving the
Russians out of Manchuria.
Hate for the Russians.
Many people expected that the SYM
pathy of China would be with Russia
and that the former country might ev-
en- aid the latter openly Mr.. Yuen
takes q number Of Chinese papers and
has kept we'll posted on the situation.
He says that China has had all of the
domination by Russia that it wants.
This; is heyprincipal reason for the at
titude of China at the present time.
1T is feared thati if Russia wins it will
soon oVerrun China with its armies
and force the people into submission.
Mr. Yuen thinks that desire to OBJ
tain ultimate control Of China was
what led Russia into the present strug-
gle. IF Russia wins, the condition of
the Chinaman will be hundred times
worse than was that of the black man
in the south, during the times of slav-
cry" said Mr.. Yuen. "Since Russia
has obtained foothold in Manchuria

ter's sojourn in southern California.
Ihe railroad rates are very low; the
trains are the best and finest equipped
in the world, and the expense of liy-
ing in Los Angeles and vicinity is ex-
ceedingly reasonable. No part of the
United States is better provided with
hotel accommodations than southern
California. and. new hotels are being
built all the time. OF. course, if one
wants to spend a great deal of money
In hotel bills they can find an oppor-
tunity to do SO in California, as well
as in other parts Of the country, but if
one wants to come here and live in
first-class manner, having nice rooms
and good board, they can do SO at an
expense which is thoroughly reason
able and in many cases surprisingly
cheap.
Los Angeles is filled with hotels,
apartment and lodging houses, the vast
majority of which furnish desirable &C.
commodations at moderate prices. In
deed, no one need fear in coming to
this part of the country that they will
ue lSlu up IOI eAlTdNdSduC living GS-
penses. This is an important matter,
and if the people of Southern Califor-
MIA are wise they will see that such
continues to be the case insthe future.

timated that there are from 10000 to
$4,000 tourists here during the winter
season, which almost doubles the nor
NAL population and makes this one of
the liveliest cities, SO far as the ap-
pearance of the streets is concerned,

SHOT DURING
DRUNKEN ROW

During a drunken row Saturday
night Otto Cravan, a laborer. was
shot through the arm by one of his
companions, named J. Chestney. AL
though the latter is said to have fired
tve shots on Pacific avenue near
the Rhein saloon during the fracas,
the police did not learn of the affair
until yesterday afternoon, and then
the alleged assailant had left the
city.
Cravan, Chestney and an unknown
companion were together Saturday
night in the Rhein saloon. All three
were partially drunk and about IL
o'clock they began quaTreling. The
saloon man ordered them out of his
place and the belligerents continued
the scrap on the sidewalk
Finally Cravan and Chestney came
to blows, whereupon the latter is al
legged to have drawn his gun and
fired at Cravan, the ball passing
through the latter's arm This ended
the fight, but Chestney fired four
more shots into the air, just to con-
vince, the bystanders that he was a
dangerous man. AS no policeman
was in sight, Cravan fastened to his
room, but he didn't think it worth
while to notify the police.

THE REMARKABLE LITTLE JAPANESE

Among all of the varied features
of the great Louisiana Purchase ex-
position in st. Louis none has at
tracted more attention than the chill
dren of all the nations.
All kinds, colors and conditions of
children are there. The children who
have probably been the center of
more interest than any others at the
fair are the Japanese babies from
Fair Japan" upon the Pike.
There are three of these interest
ing youngsters, all members of the
same family, ranging from three to
nine years of age. They are Yona,
KOna and Chiro Takeuchi, and never
were there three children of one fam
lily of such different temperaments.
For instance, Yona Takeuchi, the

peration. sent her oldest boy to the
police station for help. When Officers
Foster and Haines arrived, Curren
had desisted from his attack, but he
was carrying on Il long-range bonn
bardment of verbal invective, in
which he characterized his wife as a
"low-down creature" and various
other uncomfortable things.
Curren wanted to know on what
authority he was being arrested, and
the officers promptly convinced him
by forcibly carrying him to the pa
troll wagon.
Judge Griffin will deal with the al
legged wife-beaters tomorrow, and if
the charges are proved the pair will
undoubtedly become members of the
street sweeping force.

is Kona Takeuchi, aged five years.
This little girl differs from her sis
ter, inasmuch as she is a laughing,
free hearted child who has not Yona' s
great responsibilities as the Little
Mother" of the family. When she
is not working as part and parcel of
the entertainment in Fair Japan
upon the Pike, Kona plays as hard
and laughs as heartily as any Amer
lean child. She also speaks English
without the least trace of accent,
but she has not as yet attained pro-
ficiency in other languages save her
native Japanese.
Last and least. yet at the same
time foremost and greatest from the
standpoint of noise and deviltry, is
