WOO CHING GETS WEALTH
OF ACTRESS MAD BROTHER

at South Broadway Saloon-Inherits $1,000

Let all men Yem Sing, for have

OF rejoicing" crooned Woo Ching, more
commonly known as "Jim," as he mixed
drinks behind the bar of q South

and smiled lovingly at the loungers
about the bar, who readily accepted
his invitation to drink.
Woo Ching was made the proud pos
SCISSOR Of $1,000 cash, two diamond rings,
a dozen pictures of prominent Ameri-
can actresses and a photograph Of his
late lamented brother, Woo Kee Kit, in
the settlement of Kits estate by Pub
lie Administrator McGarvin yesterday.
The story of Kits death is a sad one.
He came to America when he was a
young man and became ChristiaRized.
His step in this direction proved profit
able in more than one way and Woo
accumulated a small fortune. But his
initiation into American customs led
Woo, gradually and fatally, to the path
through which many young men have
marched to ruin and Woo began to
look fondly at American actresses.
Loved Actresses
He realized that he could never treat
them to fine suppers, regardless of all
the money he had nor could he ever
see them, but "alle samee" he loved
them desperately and with infinite care

some of the most attractive of feminine
stars and placed them in the alcove in
his room where, had he remained true
to the old religion, the image of Buddha
would have sat, and there he wor-
SHIPPED them. The finest punk sticks
on the market slowly smoked before
the photographs Of the footlight beau
ties who flashed their white teeth and
lustrous eyes on the poor, bewildered
Celestial.
This condition continued until Woo
began to carry the pictures with him.
He is cursed with the curse of Bud
dha and his brain has turned to mud"
whispered his Celestial friends, as they
cautioned lukewarm brothers to keep
from the paths Of Christianity.
And then Woo was taken before the
insanity commission and committed to
Patton asylum. He died two years
later, December 20, 1904, and when
found, the photographs of the laughing
women were in his hand.
And then Ching, the bartender
claimed the money. Some time was
required for settlement of the estate
and now that all is arranged and Ching
has the money, offerings to the Joss for
his brothers spirit will be made and
the pictures of the adorable women will
be consigned to the flames.

Sloan says that Beal forged signatures

PROF. JAIN READY FOR PEACE

CHALLENGE FOR BARNHART
Director Of Choral Society VIII Sur
render His Baton II Leader
Of Apollo Club VIII
Resign

Is Los Angeles q city large enough
TO support two rival singing societies
with an ambition to produce oratorios
This question has presented itself
not once but many times to Prof. Julius
Albert jain, director of the Los An
Eeles Choral society, and to Harry H.
Barnhart, director of the Apollo club.
Prof. jain answers mo; Mr.. Barn
hart is silent. In order to encourage
musical progress Prof. jain announces
that he is willing to retire from the
leadership of the choral society on con-
dition that Mr.. Barnhart will resign
from the Apollo club so that the two
choruses can be united under some
third PERSONS baton. II the greatest
good is to be accomplished Prof. jain
believes that the two singing societies
should merge into one strong, well
trained organization that can do Justice
to the works of the great composers.
Too Many choruses
The musical season in Los Angeles
was overcrowded with events last year.
"The Messiah" was sung by the choral
society and by the Apollo club. Each
chorus had its loyal partisans and the
truth of the adage that comparisons
are odious and odorous was often put
to the test. Before the autumn rehears-
ais begin it has been decided that peace
overtures should be tried. Although no
indemnity is asked, those who under
stand local sentiment declare that peace
negotiations between Prof. jain and
Mr.. Barnhart will be quite as difficult
to conduct automatically as are those
in which M. Witte and Baron Komura
are concerned.
Prof. Jahn will issue his demands
over his own signature next week and
while Mr.. Barnhart is framing a reply
members of the two rival choruses will
practice st. Paul. under the baton
Of Director Wrightson at Venice.

Prof. jain said yesterday: Los An
geles cannot support two clubs like the
Apollo club and the choral society. 1
