LAST OF VISITING
KNIGHTS WEEK
PARADE OF TONIGHT WILL
CONCLUDE PILGRIMAGE
MANY HAVE GONE ALREADY
Some VIII Visit San Francisco on
Their Way Home-Trip to Or
anse Groves and Ostrich
Farm Today

knights Of Columbus week, so far
as Los Angeles is concerned, is about
over. So It is to the knights who, not
waiting for getaway day." moved on
their return journey by two and threes
both yesterday and the day before.
The close Of the business session
Thursday evening ended the official
part Of the convention, though not the
entertainment features by any means
But it released some very busy men
from further duties and many of them
also hiked for the east by the first
trains.
A great many of the visitors will go
east by tonight's trains. Some of them
will return via San Francisco, where
considerable entertainment has been
arranged for the coming week.
No great things were planned FOR
yesterday. The trip to Mt. Lowe was
the days real event and some 1000
made it on special cars, according TO
very pleasant one, and the jaunt UP
the steep railroad gave many a thrill,
especially to the middle-west people, who
saw their first mountains on their way
out here. The day was ideal for the
trip and the journey was much enjoyed.
The other features were the baseball
game and social in the afternoon and
the dance at Playa del Rey at night.
Today will end even the unofficials'
visit. For the visitors there is carded
a visit to the orange groves, an all
day trip. During the afternoon there
will be a concert at the Ostrich farm
by the League of the Cross band and
afternoon tea will be served by Nine.
Modjeska and her committee. The su-
preme knights, in full dress, will pa
rade at night and the fourth degree
will be exemplifed thereafter at 9
o'clock.
On every hand the knights express
their joy over having come here and the
delightful way in which they have
been entertained. They declare that it
far exceeded their expectations and re-
gret that they cannot be in Los Angeles
longer. The highest praise is given to
the local entertainment committee and
the people in general, and the hope IS
expressed that the next convention here
will not be long deferred

HUSBAND OBJECTS TO
WIFE WRITING TO MEN
M. A. BRIDGE FILES SUIT FOR
DIVORCE
Alleges That She Wrote Endearlne
EpistIes to Admirers, and Names
His Brother and Three Others as
Correspondents

Because, he says. his wife wrote to
her young men friends and called them
her dear little boys" Marcus A.
Bridge, residing on East Thirty-eighth
street, yesterday filed suit for divorce
against his refractory frau and secured
an interlocutory decree by default.
The alleged faults of the young wifi :
were said to be many. The couple
were married at Nashville, Ore, the
home of the bride, seven years ago.
The bride was II years old and her hus-
band but a few years her senior. They
lived in different parts of Oregon, later
coming to Los Angeles and thence to
San Francisco.
Afterward they moved to Los Angeles
with their three little babies and
Bridge started to build home. He had
the cottage for his wife and little ones
nearly completed when he received the
following letter, which had been sent
him from his brother in San Francisco
The letter it is alleged, was written by
Mrs. Bridge to a San Francisco ad-
mirer:
Dear Raymond-Marcus is plaster
ing the house and it will soon be all
made and then won't that be nice? You
can come here from Frisco and 1 will
be so glad to see you. 1 could hug and
kiss you. Raymond, 1 want you to be
a good little boy, for I love you. Now
let me give you a good piece of advice.
Let whisky and beer alone and you
will be a whole lot nicer. Well, write
to me soon and good-by with hug and
a kiss. DOLLY"
The little nest remains uncompleted
and the couple are now separated.
On another occasion, according to
witnesses, Mrs. Bridge was i'll and the
husband came home to find one of her
young men friends sitting on the edge
of the bed and holding the sick wo-
mans hand.
brother of the husband and three
others were named as correspondents.
An interlocutory decree was granted
and the three children given TO the
father. The little ones will be sent to
Oregon to their grandparents home.

FLOWER MISSION DAY
OBSERVED BY w. C. T. U.
Beautiful Bouquets Distributed Among
the Sick and Destitute-Homes
and Offices Visited

Beautiful sweet scented blossoms,
over the city, found their way yester-
day into hundreds of homes and offices,
carrying messages of love to lives that
see little of flowers.
The flowers were gathered at the re-
quest of the w. c. r. u, and the school
children were coming and going all day
yesterday with contributions. The
blossoms were tied into punches at the
Temperance temple and from there they
were carried by women-thousands of
them-to any part of the city where
there was a sick or destitute person.
After these had all been cared for
others went into the offices and stores
for those who have time for little else
but work.
1t was w. C. r. u. flower mission day,
and is observed every year on June 8
in honor of the birthday of Jennie Cas-
sidy, the first woman to begin the work,
Miss Cassidy's life stands out as that
of sweet and patient woman. She
was an invalid from the time of her
youth, but her life was filled with kind
services for others and she was made
the first superintendent of the flower
mission work Although the flower mis-
sion work continues throughout the
whole year, this one day is the great
day of all.

KNIGHTS LOST, II TO 2
st. Vincent's Team WaIIoped Column
blans Good and Plenty

st. Vincent's college, IL; knights of
Columbus. ..
Although the knights made brave
stand yesterday afternoon on the ST.
Vincents diamond they were unable to
resist the onslaughts of the clever COL
lege boys and finally succumbed by q
decisive score. In the third period five
of the collegians tapped the rubber
without securing base hit, errors upon
the part of the knights being respou-
sible for the procession in the direction
of the plate.
The feature of the game was the
pitching of Flynn for the knights. A.
though hit quite freely he struck out
twelve men and had his delivery under
fair control at all periods of the game.
The knights scored their two runs
in the second and third innings by a
timely application of the stick. In the
third period, also, five of the collegians
scored. The knights then "steadied i
down." however, and shut out the col
lege boys in the following inning. In
the fifth another st. Vincent's man
came around and three more runs were
brought around in the sixth on three
safe passes.
Flynn managed to hold the enemy
down in the eighth. but the intercol-
legiate champions were not to be de-
MED and raped the offerings of the
knights twlrler for four hits in the
eighth scoring the last two runs of the
game.
The game was largely attended by
members of the order, and while some
who hoped to take the "long end" OF
the score from the collegians the more
conservative were well satisfied with
the work of their representatives on the
diamond
The detailed score follows:

RAID AN ALLEGED LOTTERY
Detectives Force Entrance to Wong
Dos Establishment

Wong Do, alleged king of the Chi
nese lotteries, was arrested last even
ing at 100 North San Pedro street by
Detectives Ingram and Boyd.
The side of the building in which it
is alleged lottery was being con-
Quoted was broken down by the officers
before they effected an entrance and
made the arrest.
The police say they have long de-
sired to arrest Wong Do, but he has
successfully evaded arrest until last
night
Before trying the door Ingram
climbed to the roof of the building and
stopped the chimney with papers to
prevent the burning of tickets. The
detectives then demanded admittance
to the room. This was refused, and the
door, which is said to be a foot thick
and made of solid oak, was bolted on
the inside.
The detectives were prepared for the
emergency, having taken a heavy
crowbar with them, with which they
made hole in the side of the building.
The detectives rushed into the room
and found Wong Do trying to start a
fire in the stove with tickets, about
1000 being confiscated by them, and
the proprietor was sent to the police
station, where he was released on
$50 bail.

WANTS FRANCHISE
FOR PIPE LINES
AMALGAMATED OIL COMPANY
ASKS PRIVILEGE
NEEDS DISTRIBUTING MAINS
Manufacturing Concerns Are to Be
Supplied With Fuel If Local Con-
eern Is Successful In secur-

The Amalgamated Oil company.
whose offices are at 424 Pacific Electric

works yesterday for franchise for
distributing oil in Los Angeles by
means of pipes laid under the streets

The works of this company are
located on Alhambra avenue, near the
heart of the manufacturing district.
They propose to lay oil mains through
the manufacturing district which ad-
joins them and southwark to the city
limits
Out in the direction of the Pacific
Electric shops, machine shops and
other plants using power are being
built and it is the purpose of the cor
poration to furnish these concerns with
fuel oil by means of their distributing
mains.
They desire to run a main out Ala
media street to Slauson avenue, also
pipes on East Seventh street, Boyle
avenue, East Ninth street and Santa

advisement, but informed the appli-
cants that they would have to bid for
the privilege they desire.
