The exercises are to constitute the
only joint operations of the army and
navy during the year, They have been
designated Joint exercises" to distin-
guish them from the more elaborate
movements of combined army and
navy" maneuvers, which were first
planned but which failed of approval
for lack of an adequate appropriation
from congress. The operations are to
be conducted under rules which have
been agreed upon by joint board of
army and navy officers. Considerable
importance is attached to the distinc-
tion between maneuvers and joint exer-
cises.
Maneuvers are held to apply to opera
tions where actual war conditions are
simulated. while exercises mean only

a shotgun. The latter weapon was
found in the room in which the bodies

that conclusion. A fourth person is
suspected, but the identity of the al
legged murderer and his motive are
withheld.

Mr. and Mrs. Dimes on returning from
Hillsboro, where they had attended the
baccalaureate sermon of the graduat-

On every train yesterday, regular and
special, even by trolley and by steam
boat, came pouring into the City of the
Angels all day the good knights Of
Columbus, until by the time evening
had drawn her curtains over the flag
futtering streets there were thousands
of them in the various hotels and
about the thoroughfares, where for
week to come they will find such well
come as only California knows how to
give.
By twos and threes, dozens, scores
and hundreds they came. They all had
one object in view-to get a badge as
soon as possible and to begin their
sightseeing as soon as they could rid
themselves of the dust of travel. AS a
result the downtown streets were only
crowded by them in the vicinity of the
trolley terminals, and beaches and re-
sorts were alive with them all day.
The hotels had them at night-also
the caravansaries had their troubles.
What with 10000 Of them headed this
way, it is no fun to make two score
men fit in where half a dozen would be
crowded. Nor is it a joke to handle
some thousands of pieces OF baggage,
and the transfer men also had their
woes. But all these were minor details,
and to be expected in the first day Of
such rush. That things have been
handled so we'll, with so little trouble
and annoyance, and SO expeditiously at
that, bespeaks worlds for the careful
