UNFAIRNESS TO THE POOR

LOS ANGELES, May 19.-(Editor
Herald): Will you kindly give me space
in your valuable>columns to say word
on the burning question of the hour,
viz, "Shall Los Angeles go dry?"
I speak as "workingman" with a
family, and I am, too, believer in
Temperance"
The hot weather is at hand. 1t has
been my custom for years to have a
pitcher Of cold beer at meals for my
family and self during the summer
MANY hundreds of other laboring peo-
pie do the same. The rich can keep
bottled beer on ice and can go to their
clubs.
Close the saloons and the poor people
are deprived of certainly a reasonable
privilege. Is 1t just? Is it worthy of a
free country, such curtailment of peo-
pies liberty? Let Justice to all'' be
done, rich and poor alike. These
preachers without a parish or vote
have no right to come here and regu-
late our town and families.
Why not allow the poor man to buy
his scent or 1O-cent jug of cold beer If
the proposed. ordinance permits the
wealthy to keep their wine cellars
stocked with all kinds of liquor?

LARGE AUDIENCE is PRESENT

If President Roosevelt could have
seen the children's chorus at the May
festival yesterday afternoon he would
feel less apprehensive about the future
of the American nation, for the $500
public school pupils assembled in
Temple auditorium presented a reas-
suring picture. The boys and girls
were as bright lot of children as
could be found anywhere in the world
and they did their best to make the
closing day Of the festival a big sue
cess.
The chorus occupied the stage and a
greater part Of the main floor. The
band was stationed in the center of the
auditorium, and from that point was
heard to the best possible advantage.
America" the festival fantasy, was
the last number and the best. Innes

CH|NAMAN SAYS
NEGRO IS ROBBER
IDENTIFIES FRANK HOOPER AS
ASSAILANT
PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE
Secret Service Agent Believes He Is
Wanted by Federal Authorities
for Passing Counter
felt Money
PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE

Frank Hooper, a negro who was ar
picion Thursday afternoon, is now be-
lieved by the police to be one Of the
worst criminals captured by the de-
partment in several months.
When the arrest was made it was on
suspicion that Hooper was the man
who held up and robbed Wong Sing, a
Pasadena Chinaman, on the night of
April II, taking $105, and then beat his
in declaring his innocence of the hold
up charge, but was positively identified
by Wong Sing yesterday afternoon.
He had no sooner been identified by
the United States secret service went
to the police station and asked to see
Hooper, declaring that he believed him
to be the man wanted by federal author
tiles for passing counterfeit money.
After the secret service officer had
talked with the negro and police he an
nounced that he was sure he had suf
ficient evidence against Hooper to as
sure his arrest by the federal authori-
ties should he escape punishment upon
the charge Of robbery.
1t is charged that Hooper had passed
a number Of counterfeit dollars in this
city and other towns on the Pacific
coast. His operations are said to have
continued for some time, until his ar
rest a few days ago.

A MIsappIIed Word

Everybody who has had experience in
carving knows that not only are sharper
knives required but also probably more skill
and practice to carve duck than any other
fowl Admiral Dewey was guest at a din
ner table where his host had that serious
task to perform AS the admiral watched
the almost desperate endeavors OF the
carver to disintegrate the bird he smiled
mildly. His host happened to notice it ana
felt bit piqued. as he was not in the best
of temper any way.

wardness. Admiral" said he

ply. II was only thinking why the term
duck was used word OF endearment
and goose as one of reproach"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-05-21

and the national anthem in way that
caused the big audience to cheer. Miss
Kathryn E. Stone, who trained the
school children, conducted the first
chorus, Schubert's "Wanderings." and
if the young singers showed a disposi-
ton to interpret too literally by wan
dering from the key and from one an
other their slight need of vocal finish
was readily understood. 1t was not
lack of training but embarrassment
that marred the music. Their "Amer-
lea" showed just what they could do.
The festival closed with a grand
opera program. The first number last
evening was the overture to "Phedre." 1"
The anvil chorus from "Trovatore"
made tremendous hit. In the 'Trova-
tore" number the festival soloists and
the festival chorus were heard with
fine effect.
The second part Of the program was
made up of farewell songs that
stirred the audience to long applause.
Mr.. Huffman sang "Then You'll Re-
member Me" and Kryl played the
farewell from 1.-THE Trumpeter Of
Soeckingep."
The festival ended with "Auld Lang
Syne."
Innes and his band will leave Los
Angeles, carrying with them many good
wishes from the thousands who have
sured Of cordial welcome whenever they
return.

INTENDS TO KILL BIG GAME
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 2O.-To shoot big game
in British East Africa Mr.. ]. r. Brad
ley, of New York, who has hunted IN
New Mexico, the Rockies and Alaska
for twenty years, will leave here in a
few days for Marseilles, en- route for
Mombasa, on the Zanzibar coast.
Mr.. Bradley will lead an expedition,
which, he says, will be the best equipped
since Stanley's, and unless he succumbs
to fever, to which white men fall vic
Tins in those latitudes, he expects to
push across to Victoria Nyanza and the
headwaters of the Nile, returning to
civilization by way of Khartoum.
1t was only last autumn that Mr..
Bradley returned to New York from
the far Northwest Territory, with many
trophies such as skins of grizzlies,
horns of black sheep, goat, moose and
caribou.
Though he has twice visited Africa
this will be his first hunting trip there.
With him is Mr.. E. George Turner, OF
Arizona, well known for thirty years in
the southwest as a keen huntsman and
expert shot.
Mr.. Bradley is taking out from Lon
don double Indian tent, furnished with
everything from a bed to a portable
bathtub.
Though he brought over lot of
American guns, he has purchased
number of double express and other
rifles for rhinoceros and elephant, and
has been buying as complete an outfit
as furnishers to British huntsmen know
how to provide.
From America he brought six cam
eras of different kinds, specially made
and embodying the latest ideas, as he
is anxious to obtain a pictorial record
Of the trip and photographs of wild
beasts in their native haunts.
"Civllization Is making such headway
in Africa and there is so much hunt
ing done there now," said Mr.. Bradley
when 1 saw him today at the Carlton,
"that in a few years there will be moth
ing left worth shooting, and I'm anx-
ious to try my luck while there's some
thing there.
Large Escort of Natives
"At Mombasa I shall have a party of
100 natives about twenty-five Of whom
will be armed. We shall strike almost
due west, keeping within about forty
miles of the equator. There is no sea-
son better than this, as the spring rains
are Just about over and the grass being
long makes good grazing for animals,
who are thus attracted to the open. =
hope to come up with elephant, lion,
hyena, rhinoceros, leap
ard and some of the eighteen different
varieties of antelope that abound in
those regions.
"Of course we may expect to fall a
prey to fever or some climatic trouble,
though we are carrying all sorts of
medicines and sanitary devices of many
kinds. If all goes we'll 1 hope to b.
back in London by December"
Mr.. Bradley expects next year to-
charter a whaling vessel at st. Johns.
N. f., and sail for the upper part o!
Greenland to hunt polar bear.

LONDON, May 20.-Ten continuous
days of sunshine and with atmosphere
that has grown balmy have made of
London one Of the most delightful Of
places.
Indeed, II the weather keeps UP the
ancient city will come to deserve the
title Chauncey Depew gave it two
years ago when he called 1t "the best
watering place in Europe"
Americans are still coming and go
ing. The tide from Paris and the con-
tinent has begun to set in strongly, and
at some Of the more fashionable west
end hotels dozens have been turned
away after the arrival of the evening
trains because there was no room to
give them. The tea hour now sees
the palm rooms at the Carlton and
Savoy filled, mostly with women, for
the men this year don't seem to be
taking kindly to this beverage.
By the way, young Rigo, who, with
his Tzigane orchestra, had almost come
to be regarded as part of the Carlton,
has had a second successor since last
summer, as the German band which
followed his has just been replaced by
a Basque orchestra.
