TIRES OF LIFE:
TAKES MORPHINE

Whether from financial or domestic
troubles, or an inherited Inelancholia,
or what not. Huntley w. Caldwell tired
of life's burdens and threw them down
yesterday by taking poison.
The young man died last night at the
receiving hospital after heroic efforts
had been made to save his life. The
physicians pronounced it case of NOR
phine poisoning. This diagnosis is
borne out by the young mans past,
which includes no less than two former
efforts at self-destruction.
Caldwell was removed from the
Hotel Rosslyn to the receiving hospital
yesterday afternoon about Z o'clock.
He was found in an unconscious con-
dition in room 222 at the hotel, having
registered there the previous night
about 10 o'clock. The manager of the
hotel had to assist one Of the bell boys
through the transom over the door in
order to get into the room. The house
physician was Immediately called, and
after doing what he could to save the
young man, advised that he be sent to
the receiving hospital. All kinds of
restoratives were administered without
success.
Caldwell was we'll known lin Los An
geles. He was a newspaper man, hav-
ing worked for local papers and also
in San Francisco. Several years ago
he published a paper known as the
Farmers Friend, and later branched
out into the daily field, working for the
San Francisco Bulletin. He leaves a
mother, who resides at the Alhambra
| 452 Broadway, this city, and a sister
who lives at Santa Rosa.
The cause of Caldwells rash act
could not be clearly ascertained. 1t is
said that he was recently divorced from
his wife, and this may have influenced
him in the efforts on his own life.
Several months ago he took poison, and
once before that, while living in San
Francisco. it is said he tried to kill
himself. An intimate friend said finan-
cial entanglements had lately preyed
on his mind, and the same authority
also stated that he had been treated for
paresis and was regarded as unsound
mentally Mrs. Caldwell was overcome
with grief.
Caldwell registered at the hotel as
George Z. Brown, the name by which
he was known there. He frequently
stopped for night or two at the Ross
lyn and always promptly paid his bill,
although his intimate friend intimated
| that he was heavily in debt.

FULTONS PEAKS IN
MITCHELL BEHALF
BY Maurice Splain

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Senator
Fulton of Oregon is indignant at the
news Of the indictment of his colleague,
Senator John H. Mitchell, by the fed
eral grand jury at Portland yesterday
for alleged connection with the land
frauds. Senator Fulton today de-
nounced the Indictment as an outrage
on Senator Mitchell and characterized
in the severest terms the witness, S. A.
D. Puter, on whose testimony the in
dictment was brought in.
Senator Fulton declared that he was
personally acquainted with the prin-
cipaI facts in the land fraud cases and
he was fully convinced his colleague
had had no part in them and no con-
nection with them except in SO far as
he had interested himself to get
through the land office claims which
he believed to be honest. This he had
done at the request of Puter, just as all
senators were in the habit of doing for
constituents. He declared there was
no shadow Of impropriety in what Sem
ator Mitchell had dooe in behalf of
Puter. Senator Fulton declared that 1t
was a gross outrage that Mitchell
should now be indicted on the testi-
mony of Puter, who, he said, was a
confessed criminal and had given his
testimony on the promise that he him
self would escape punishment for the
part he had taken in the frauds on the
government. AS to Representative
Binger Hermann, who was indicted
with Senator Mitchell, Senator Fulton
said the evidence against him seemed
equally incredible and discredited.
AS to the removal of United States
District Attorney Hall, Senator Fulton
said there seemed no good reason for
that action on the part of the admin
istration if it was based on the re-
ported ground that Hall was likely to
be friendly to Senator Mitchell. The
fact was, he said, that both Mitchell
and Hermann had opposed the reap
pointment of Hall. He (Senator Full
toni had indorsed Hall for reappoint-
ment, but primarily the responsibility
for his reappointment rested with the
president himself. His removal from
office at this time, therefore, seemed
somewhat puzzling.

MANY PERSONS INJURED
Days List of Accidents Is Quite
LARGE

A number of minor accidents oc-
CURED yesterday at the opening Of the
new year. At the receiving hospital,
where the injured were taken, the old
habit Of failing TO remember the year
was in evidence, and the victims OF
yesterday, upon arising this morning
and looking at their account on the

ried for a year and a day in the hos

William Walker, miner residing at

features Of one OF the most laughable
farces. ever written In this country.
The leading man labors under the
handicap Of playing in the same role
which was made famous by Willie Col
Her. Necessarily to satisfy those who
saw the celebrated comedian in the
part he must adopt many Of Golfers
mannerisms, and he does so effectively
and without a trace of artihciality.
He dons a wig for the first time
since he has appeared here, and with
it he puts on a new style which will
appeal to many people as more pleas
ing than his usual manner. His abil-
ity to do this SO cleverly will come as
a surprise to any who may have
doubted his versatility.
The comedy is generally known, at
least by reputation, and IL does not
pany. The situations and dialogue
bring forth an almost continuous laugh
from the audience, and the comedy is
punctuated by frequent applause.
Almost every one of the company is
congenially. cast. Thomas Oberle as a
Tammany deputy sheriff gives an
amusing character strong individual
ity. Amelia Gardner, Richard Vivian,
James A. Bliss and Agnes Rankin are
all good in roles which are over
shadowed by the chief comedians Of the
play. Miss Mary Graham does well as
a maid. Louis Bishop Hall also de-
serves credit for the artistic manner in
which he carried out his little bit"
The play is splendidly mounted and
George Barnum is to be praised for the
general effect which his stage direction
has produced. While yesterday after
noon the play was somewhat rough in
places, owing to lack of time for re-
hearsals, this fault will doubtless be
overcome as the week progresses.

NO DULLNEss AT oRPHEUM
Lively Bill Is Offered by Vaudeville
House

There is not a dull moment at the
Orpheum this week, for every number
is good of it's kind. First there is an
excellent wire act by Lucy and Viate,
which in addition to being clever in
. the matter of equilibrium is also pic
turesque.
| One feature of the performance is
admirably gratifying-a singer who can
really sing. Aida Hemmi, prima
donna soprano is by far the best vocal
ist who has appeared at the Orpheum
in many years. She has sweet, high
soprano of unusual quality fiexibiiity
and range She is mistress Of her art,
which fact is shown especially in her
method of producing her tones.

former on the banjo, pleased the audi
ence immensely and responded to sew

ment and his fingers are capable of
bringing out series of the most intri-
cate harmonies which would do credit

pictures are good.
The holdovers are John and Harry

MUSICAL COMEDY
Weeks OFFERING
PRESENT "THE BILLI0NAlRE"
AT MASON
nThe Man From Mexico" Scores a
Decided Success at 5elaseo
Theater--orpheum's Bill
Remarkably Bright

"The Millionaire" the offering at the
Mason this week, is, frankly, musical
vaudeville. In the last half of the
pIav the company is furnished seats in
a scenic auditorium while they take
their turns doing stunts on the i'm
provised stage. For the most part 1t is
good vaudeville.
AS musical comedy It ranks high,
considering most of the many others
which have struggled for a hearing at
this theater. Thomas Q. SeabroolSe,
while unfortunate in not having role
more worthy of his. art, is good COM
edian. His style is along old lines, but
he succeeds in making himself at home
with an audience.
The comedy naturally makes not the
slightest pretense to continuity and the
most enjoyable features are the oldest.
GIt is coincidence that two of the
Jokes in "The Billionaire" are also re-
y vived at the Belasco theater this week.
z They are Sprung" in exactly the same
manner and neither play claims them
as original
There are several pretty girls among
! the leading people with the Seabrooke
I company and number of splendid
voices. The scenic effects average well
{, with the other plays of the kind. The
eostuming is lavish and in this respect
there are some interesting novelties.
I, The pansy dance is one Of number of
things that are worth seeing. Miss Dia-
a mond Donner as the chief pansy is a
4 graceful capable performer.
THE play deserves great credit for
: the unusual number of excellent actors
. and actresses and it is far from being
d comedy in which the star takes all
the honors. Miss Josie Intropidi as the
ambitious American mother is one of
the best character actresses that have
been seen in Los Angeles for many a
day. Her part sparkles with life and
makes a distinct impression on the
audience.

All along the line Of march, in addi-

graceful fronds of the date palm on

East Colorado street hill stood the big
arch Of greenery and blossoms, which
was a. new and pleasing feature this
year. Erected by volunteer labor and
decorated by the young men Of the
Y. M. c. A., the triumphal arch will in
all probability be one of the regular

used, with flags. The prize for the
best decorated private house, $25, was

At the park, soon after 2 o'clock,
the hour scheduled for the beginning
of the races, the Queen of the Races,

procession with her retinue of pretty
girls, who acted as her maids of honor.
The queen, a tall and beautiful girl,
was robed in royal gown of Roman
cut and fashion, in red and white, as
most appropriate, while her maidens
were gowned in Roman robes of pale
tinted clinging materials. Escorted
by the uumpeters. who were pictur-

Places of Honor


Here the banners of blue or red were
given the first and second winners of
the prizes, showing their places Of
honor. AS the heralds announced the
fortunate carriages, the already large
crowd Of people at the park Joined in
hearty applause. After the last fiut-
tering banner was awarded the parade
dispersed, some entries to return to
Pasadena, and many to remain at
the park, where every provision had
been made for the comfort and con-
venence of the people.
Women of the Shakespeare club
served lunch to hundreds at their
stands and in a large tent hot
dinner was served. Three prices for
the lunches made it possible for all
sorts of people and tastes to be satis-
fled, and the receipts will help the
women in their fund for the new club
house.
During the interval between the pa
rade and the races the morning street
crowds surged out to the park, and If
before noon everybody had seemed to
be ON the streets, now the same was
true Of the park. Gradually the inn
mense grand stand began to fill, car
riages, automobiles, tallyhos and the
smaller vehicles rolled into the open
inclosure inside the ring, and by 2
o'clock there was a tremendous crowd
of eager sightseers within the grounds.
1t was at this juncture that Kura-
naga relieved the strain and monotony
of the situation by firing every few
minutes his odd Jaranese daylight
fireworks cannon, which was brought
from Japan expressly to celebrate the
falling Of Port Arthur, although Mr..
Kuranaga had little idea that his cele-
bration would be before such a
throng. Following the dull boom of
the quaint little ironwood cannon, a
ball would be shot 200 feet into the
air, and there burst, freeing number
less bits of tinsel paper, spirals of red
and white tissue, and tiny paper
figures, all of which would come float
ing down most gracefully upon the
heads of the delighted spectators. This
was kept up at intervals during the
afternoon, and in the evening in the
park the same little cannon fired the
most fascinating real fireworks which
were wholly new to this part of the
country, and which attracted large
crowd.
