A LACTEAL SUBJECT

When it comes to milk you have a subject of inter
est to every human being from the Roungster taking
its first glimpse of the big world tO&4he centenarian
who is taking his final look. The quality and
the price of tactical goods concern mankind more
gravey than almost anything else in the journey
through life. The subject always has been and prob
ably always will be of most serious concern to all
peoples in all quarters of the world
Just now New York is ahording a reminder that
should interest people of Los Angeles The milk
trade in the big city is supplied chiefly by great
trust which is capitalized $25 100000. The trust
proposes increase the capital to figure that
will enable it to freeze out every competitor The
ultimate purpose is to raise the price of milk at re-
tail from five six cents to eight cents quart 1t
is said that if the scheme succeeds the trust will
be able pay dividends equal TO six per cent on
$2OOOOOOOO
There is no milk trust in Los Angeles, according
to the public understanding but there is a community
of interests among local darymen whereby they stand
together in maintaining price for which there is no
present warrant. The failure of the hay crop last
year causing great increase in the cost of feed for
cattle, gave plausible cause for an advance in milk
prices of about ten cent The ready acquiescence
of the public in the advance seemed to convince the
dairymen that lust like finding money" to adj
vance prices and they their price list another
upward tilt. The present price is Just what the New
York trust hopes to imposes cents quart-nstead
OF the present price of milk in the big city
The Los Angeles milk price is much too high The
cause for fitting it up-high price of hay-no longer
exists, The hay price is down to the normal or soon
will be, and the milk price should follow

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Fourth Symphony Concert

In some respects the fourth SYM
phony concert yesterday was the most
successful Of the season. The audi
ence was larger than at any time this
year. The women present were as
gayly attired as if they were attending
the opera and 1t was evident that
society as well as local music lovers
had awakened to the Importance of the
orchestra as part of the artistic life of
Los Angeles.
Raff's symphony No in f major,
opus 1853, was the choice for what
proved to be most enjoyable program.
Harley Hamilton, the director, gave
poetic reading of the work of the Swiss
composer. The orchestra played with
a fine intelligence that interpreted the
finest scenes most acceptably. The
delicacy of shading and the perfect at
tack of the violns were particularly
noticeable in what was altogether a
splendid performance. The "Reverie'
and the Dance of the Word Nynphs"
in the second movement brought out
prolonged applause and at the close of
the symphony the audience fingered to
recall Mr.. Hamilton, who had con-
Quoted the orchestra with an intensity
of feeling quite unusual In his method
of controlling his players.
The concert opened with the overture
tc "The Magic Flute" which was ex-
quisitely played. Svendsen's Nor
wegian Carnival" a march with bril-
liant theme into which are woven
Scandinavian airs, followed.
Miss Cornne Bailey was the soloist.
Miss Bailey has a pure soprano voice
of much fexibiHty and sweetness. In
her first song, with Verdure Clad"
from THE Creation" she was not
heard to advantage, as she appeared
tc. be nervous. 1t will be remembered
that Miss Bailey sang the soprano part
in this oratorio last December when
she accepted the task on short notice
after one of the singers had become
i'll. Then she won much praise and
Yesterday she again demonstrated that
she has been trained in all the accepted
traditions of the Oratorio. In the
cavatina from Gounods queen of
Sheba" she made a good impression.
She responded to long applause with a
Carmen" encore.

sACRAMENTo'S REFORM STRUGGLE

Sacramento has long been butt for criticism by
other communities largely because of conditions pc
culiar to it's distinction the state capital Like all
other state capitals it is focus of many influences
that are wholly exraneous. The citizens of Sacra-
mento are second in the state in the char
acteristcs that give responsibility and dignity to
community, but during the term of the legislature the
capital city is beset by floating population that would
lower the social level of the most pretentious city in
the United States. Even during the period when the
legislature is not in session the public business of
state character attracts some classes that are any
thing but a credit to the city.
These points in the makeup of Sacramento are
noted in order forcefully to emphasize a move
ment in the line of civic righteousness which is now
in progress there. Abuses of the liquor traffic and
the iniquity of gambling have stirred the reputable
element of the people to vigorous repressive meas
ures. The Law and Order league has taken firm
grip on the twin evils with determination to regu-
late and restrain and blot out the other far
that is feasible
By reason of the activity of the league, backed
by the reputable citizens of Sacramento, the city Off
cals have been forced take energetic for
the suppression of gambling and the regulation of the
liquor traffic stated by the of the city, this
work has only fairly begun, but it gives most
aging promise. Those officials, as declared by the
Bee find that the Law and Order league not only
means business but has thoroughly perfected its
plans that could without the help of city officials
expose and arragn violators of the law" Hence the
Bee is moved to exult thus: Let this be lesson
to Sacramento and all corruption-ridden municipal
ties. 1t only needs small band of determined and
earnest men, with an executive officer of ability and
backbone and small treasury to expose dereict Off
cias force them to do their duty, or to do it for
them by arresting and forcing to punishment the vio-
ators of the law"
How does Los Angeles compare with Sacramento
in this practical work of reform: The reform prob
lem is much difficult to solve in the capital
city than is in Los Angeles in proportion to popua-
ton, for before noted Sacramento recog'
nzes the fact that has condition to deal with that
cannot be managed by thieves.
In this matter Los Angeles might with profit pom
der and study the practical method which Sacramento
has adopted in the effort to abate its more garng
inquities

UNCLE SAM NOW GOING IN
FOR COACHING HORSES
Business Of Evolving New Equine
Type Added to Sphere of Cow
ernmentaI Activities

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO Feb. 10.-To supply the
demand for prime coach horses AS
sistant Secretary of Agriculture Hayes
has purchased in this city for the horse
breeding experiment station at Greeley,
Colo, the famous stallion Thunder
Cloud, eleven mares and number
of fine range horses. The Greeley in
stitution is under the direction of the
agricultural department at Washing
ton and the government appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose of experiment
ing in the breeding of an ideal type of
American coach horse,
This new move upon the part of the
government is said to be likely to lead
to requests from live stock interests
that 1t branch still further out and es-
tablish farms for breeding other types
of horses as we'll as different types of
cattle, hogs and sheep. With the rapid
development of the country in wealth
the demand for prime coach horses
has become greatly increased and there
is large demand for expectation pu:-
poses.

CRIMINAL INDICTMENT OF SENATORS

The Sacramento grand jury has done its duty
promptly and well by returning indictments against
the four who accused Of accepting
brbes as compensation for their official and in
huence Such promptitude inspires public confidence
in speedy and impartial trial of the alleged culprits
The gravity of the oense and the official standing of
the accused have aroused intense interest in the ques
ton throughout the state. Every reputable Californian
feels that the good of the state demands com
pete disclosure of all the facts bearing on the alleged
bribery, followed by the limit of punishment in the
event of established guilt.
The senatorial investigation of the bribery charges
ceases to be a subject of great importance, result
of the grand jurys finding. Assuming that the result
Of the inquiry will be in accordance with the evidence
already adduced the outcome could be nothing more
than the unseatng of the accused The legislative term
is drawing the end and it is questionable whether
that nominal punishment would be inflicted. 1t
believed that there senators who have intimate
relations with the accused, and it would not be diff
cult to stave off final Judgment in the case until the
legislature adjourns.
The bribery case passes judicialy, to the SUI
peror court of Sacramento. The alleged crime was
committed in that city, and the courts of Sacramento
county have complete jurisdiction if the were
one of larceny or homicide. The prompness of the
grand jury leads the belief that the court will set an
early date for the trial The nature of the Indictment
and the intensity of public interest will be likely to
have influence in determining that question.
In the event of conviction the four senators VIII be
sentenced in accordance with the special provision of
the penal code covering just such an ofense as is
charged in the grand jurys indictment The law pro-
vdes that such conviction the cuprit shall be con-
fined in state prison not less than one nor more than
fourteen years and in addition shall forfeit his Office
be sfranchsed and disqualified for holding any
office public trust"
The people of California have cause for keen sat
isfaction at prospect of speedy trial of the ac
senator's followed by condign punishment If they
be adjudged guilty And the people will not forget that
the who turned the light on the infamous scheme
of bribery alleged, is the saunch and fearless San
Francisco Democrat Gavin McNab.

THRONG ACCLAIMS
CREATORE MASTER
CONCERT Is TRIUMPH FOR
ITALIAN BAND
Leader and Players Win Plaudits
From Critical Music Loving
Audience in Temple
Auditorium

Creatore and his Italian band were
welcomed last night by an audience
that shouted "Bravo!" and waved
handkerchiefs after hearing the march
from "Tannhauser," the opening num-
Der on the program.
Creatore bowed very low, shaking his
long black hair over his eyes, and
gravely raised his baton for an encore
number
Temple auditorium was comfortably
filled. On the main floor the chairs
back to the last rows were occupied
and the galleries held their share of
rnusic lovers. The boxes were vacant,
but that fact did not signify the alb
sence of society leaders from what
proved to be Il memorable concert
There were many gay parties on the
main floor, and of course all the musi-
clans were there.
Creatore's band has been increased
i'm size since It's last appearance here.
1t is well balanced and 1t is particu-
larly strong in its wood wind. While
there was much heavy Instrumentation
in most of the numbers, the tone
values were well maintained. Inc
overture to "Mignon" was a beautiful
piece of work, and at its close Creatore
was cheered AS an encore gaVotte
from "Mignon" was given. Brahms
Hungarian Dance No. afforded an
opportunity to show the bands lighter
work, and then came as the grand Sc
lection the "Damnation of Faust
In this big number Creatore demon
strated his power as leader, for he
could have chosen nothing that AFFORDS
better opportunity to prove the possi-
blities of the band. The harp was
used most effectively, and when the
last notes of the "Pandemonium" died
away Creatore was three times called
before the curtain.
The harp solo by Signor C. Sodero
was feature of the second part of the
pxogram. Signor Sodero proved him
self an artist who has attained Won
derfu technique on an instrument now
too little used. He played with ex-
respond to an encore.
The closing number, the finale from
act III of "Giaconda," gave Creatore
a chance to bring out the tremendous
crescendic effects upon which he de-
pends for his best results. This intro
Guced solos by Signori Tommasino,
Cataano, Sementa and Iafisco. The
concert closed with a most flattering
demonstration which the director ac-
knowledged with many bows and much
shaking of his long hair.
The Creatore who was seen last
evening was more Subdued than the
Creatore of few years ago. In lead
ing he appeared to forget many of the
poses that have made him Il favorite
subject for the cartoonists of various
cities 1t is true that he still permits
himself to leave his music stand, which
is merely ornamental. inasmuch as he
does not use any music score. Now
and then he went close to the clari-
nets or the trumpets, but he was less
energetic in his gestures than he was
during previous tours.
The band will play this afternoon
and this evening. Tomorrow's matinee
and evening performance will close the
engagement in Los Angeles.

In a letter written in Washington, Senator-elect
Sutherland of Utah calls attention to erroneous
statement in The Herald of January TO- An editorial
paragraph in that issue stated that the proposed
successor of Senator Kearns is especially obnoxious to
anti -Mormons because he is a sonin-aw of John d.
Lee, leader in the Mountain Meadow massacre" Mr.
Sutherland discaims both Mormon afhation and rela
tionship with the said Lee, The basis of The Her
AIDS statement floating bit of news of forgot
ten parentage. Probably it out of the fact that
the family name of Mr.. Sutherlands wife is Lee. The
Herald regrets the injustice thus inadvertently done
to Uah's next senator and takes occasion to express
it's wishes for him in the position with which his
state has sgnally honored him.
