SUFFERING INTENSE
Vivid Picture of Cattle Winter
ing on Ranges.

Secretary f. X. Whitehead Of the
Colorado State Bureau of Child ana
Animal Protection has issued cir
cular letter to the public calling
attention to the sufferinng of cattle
on the western ranges during the
winter months. Here in part is the
way he sizes up the situation:
There is no blacker stain on the
civilization of the nation today than
this. Imagine a single animal III
December. already gaunt from hun
ger. cold and thirst-for OF the
three, thirst is the most terrible
imagine this wretched creature
wandering about on an illimitable
plain covered with snow; nothing TO
eat except, here and there, buried
under the snow, a sparse TUT OF
scanty, moss-like grass; eating snow
for days and weeks because there Is
nothing to drink; by day wandering
in the snow : by night lying down in
it: swept by pitiless winds and Icy
storms; always shivering with cold;
always gnawed with hunger: always
parched with thirst; always search
ing for something to eat, where there
is nothing: always staring with
dumb, hopeless eyes, blinded, swol-
len and fostering from tie suns
glare on the wastes of snow. I'm
agine that, and imagine yourself en-
during an hour of it. Multiply that
hour by twenty-four. Multiply that
period by the slow-moving days and
nights from December to April-if
life lasts that long. Multiply that
by forty millions, and you have sta
tistics of brute suffering in one way
for every year, in this unspeakable
trade. Take all the suffering of dumb
animals in the city Of New York for
a year. and it would not offset that
of the cattle on some ranches in a
single day. 1t is like the figures
astronomers give us-meaningless
because we can not grasp them. The
mind and the heart cannot take in
what it means. 1t saddens one for
a life time to see the CHASTITY corpses
of starved cattle on the plains and
still more CHASTITY living ones.
Poor, tleshless frames, from which
the strong clinging life seems un-
able to let go; their dull brains so
sodden with suffering that they
hardly know they suffer still; the
very hair on their bodies bleached
and colorless with famine; stagger-
ing about with staring eyes and list
less steps and growing ever weaker,
till they tumble and fall in little
heaps of hide and bones which even
the coyotes, the scavengers of the
plains, despise and will not touch. .
During the winter 1923. on a
single ranch in Texas, five hund-
red thousand dollars worth Of cat
tie died: on many ranches, half were
lost. on some three-Quarters, and al
most all, many; while all the rest
went down to the very verge Of
death and suffered all its pain with
out its relief.
What is the remedy for this state
OF things? 1t is to be found in the
education Of public sentiment con-
cerning the abuse of dumb animals
in general, and especially as regards
their abuse in this way; in educat
ing stockgrowers to perceive that
neglect of their stock is at the same
time neglect of their own pecuniary
interests, and in the passage and en-
forcement Of laws forbidding cruelty
to animals. And so far, very little
has been done in any of these

Comes From Alaska

From the frozen north where the fear
of their alcohol freezing keeps men in
constant terror, to the sunny south,
the land of the orange and magnolia,
is the range of climatic changes ex-
perienced by c. V. Hodgson, who ar
rived in Los Angeles last night direct
from Seward, Alaska. He has been To-
Gated there for the past few years en-
ployed by the government in the work
of the geodetic survey and he is now
en- route to his home at Washington to
enjoy a vacation.
TT feels mighty good to be down
here in Los Angeles after being up
there for so long" he said at the Hol-
lenbeck, where he is registered. zone
feels and knows that the sunshine down
here Is the genuine article. 1t is only
an imitation we get UP there. Anyway
it seems like that. Several months ago
when I knew 1 was coming out of the
north, / laid my plans to pass through
Los Angeles, for | wanted to get
thoroughly thawed out.
It's a great country there, though,
and Uncle Sam has a right to be proud
of his northern possessions. The trade
centers are populating rapidly and al
though the big excitement is over,
many people are coming there in larger
numbers each year to seek or lose their
fortunes. Fortunately those who win
out are in the majority and things
are kept on the BOOM"

HOTEL GOSSIP
Exposition a Great Benefit

Portland and the entire northwest
have been greatly benefited by the ex-
position which closed last week." said
Fl. ]. Martin. a prominent Portland
druggist, yesterday at the Van Nuys
Broadway hotel THAT country is
much better known now among the peo-
pie of the United States than it was
six months ago 1t was a fine adver-
tisement and just the thing needed to
familiarize our eastern and southern
countrymen with an extensive and
wealthy portion of this land of ours
concerning which there was much ig-
norance. The benefits which will ac-
crue in added population and conse-
quent wealth will be inestimable.
conservative business men in Port
land will say that business has been
trebled because of the fair. 1 know 1t
has in my case. Nor have the benefits
all been reaped by Portland. Seattle,
Tacoma, Salem, Walla Walia and other
northwestern cities have come in for
their share. We all expect a big influx
of settlers next year as a result of
this years fair.
"The success of the fair, too, as an ad-
vertisement for the Pacific Northwest
is paralleled by it's success as a busi-
ness investment. President Goode of
the commission announced recently
that the exposition had paid 35 per
cent on the money put into it by the
stockholders. That is a record of
which the management of few fairs
can boast"

Boycott Alomst Ended

"The boycott inaugurated by the Chi
nese against American made goods is
now almost a closed incident" said
William Dormich of Hong Kong at the
Angelus. Mr.. Dormicn represents a
prominent New York firm in the far
east.
TT was not as widespread in the
beginning as many were led to believe"
he continued land the later friendly
advances made by the United States
has made its effect practically nil. The
Chinese had a grievance against our
government for the way our immigro-
tion inspectors treated their merchant
classes and men of affluence. They
are not likely to have any more rea-
son to complain"
According to Mr.. Dormich the stand
ard of business honor among the Chi
nese comes nearer being like those Of
Americans than does the code of busi
ness ethics which prevails among the
Japanese. He states that the Chinese
are more honorable and greater de-
pendence can be placed on their prom
ises than on those given by their broth
ers on the little island across the sea.

Trade With the Orient

"In spite of all that has been said
on the subject I doubt if there are
many who realize the possibilities which
our trade with the orient offers" said
Carl Won Pustau of c. V. Pustau &
Co., a large New York importing firm,
who is in the city for a few days
guest at the Angelus. "Our commerce
with Japan and China. though already
of considerable proportions is only in
its incipiency. The next few years will
witness a big increase. I think we are
destined to come into closer contact
with the Oriental than ever before and
the final result will be the breaking
down of many barriers which now sep
arate the Europeans and Americans
from the Asiatic."
Mr.. Pustau came to California on a
visit to his brother-in-law John Muir,
the noted naturalist and geologist. While
on the coast he is taking the opportunl
ty to strengthen some of the business
connections which his firm has with
the Orient. He expects to leave for
New York within the next few days.

NECRO'S CLAIMS
NOT SUSTAINED
LOSES CASE AGAIN T OWNER
OF RESTAURANT
Dusky Barber Sues for $3.50 Damages,
Alleging He Was Refused Meal
in a White Mans Lunch
Room

Is a negro's dignity offended if he is
refused a meal at a place where it is
the rule of the house to cater to whites
only? This question was given to a
jury in Justice Pierce's court yester-
day afternoon and as a precedent for
similar cases to come and in an effort
to suppress such cases, the jury
restaurant keeper and refused to allow
a penny to the negro.
The case was suit for damages
brought by Thornton Thomas, a negro
barber, against Charles Palmer, a res
taurant keeper.
Thomas alleged that on Labor day, in
company with his friend, a South
Broadway tailor, he entered Palmer's
lunch stand on East Seventh street,
near Main. They asked for a cup of
coffee and Palmer explained to them
that if he served a negro in his place
he could not have the patronage of the
whites. Before the argument reached
any further stage, it is alleged a num-
ber of white men in the place Joined
in the discussion. The whites had
some liberal views regarding the sub
ject and the negroes left.
Thomas brought suit alleging his
pride and dignity had been offended
to such a degree that it would require
at least $50 to make him feel good
again.
Palmer the restaurant keeper, was
a southerner and decided to fight the
case to the last. He retained Attorney
w. owen Morton, a Texan, to defend
him and in order to make the case a
test for similar cases now pending,
jury trial was asked.
Thomas, a slim negro, with oily black
locks, curled at the tips, and a droop-
ing black mustache, also oiled, was the
first witness on the stand. His skin
was n pale yellow and his nose glasses
and peculiar Bostonian fashion of
speaking made him look more like
Spaniard than a negro.
Are you a barber?" asked the
court.
NO, sub, am a tonsorial artist. and
have been so for many years, respond
ed Thomas.
you see, I come from Texas" con-
tlnued the negro. "I had always cher
ished a desire to get away from Texas
where white and black are not equal.
and come to California where we are
all free and equal under one flag.
Where a black man is as good as a
white. But l have found things diff
ferent here"
He then related his experience in the
restaurant and brought witnesses to
substantiate his evidence.
Mr.. Morton, who is also from Texas,
from that particular part of the great
state where they have one seat reserved
for the negroes on each car and where
the negro must sit by himself if he
wishes to ride, then took up the ques-
tion. Attorney Morton offered no evil
dence for his side, but his language in
explaining to the jury the difference
between a mans rights and his imper-
tTnence was most forceful.
Mr.. Morton closed by announcing
that the entire trial was out of order
because it was not stated in the COM
plant whether Thomas was a negro
or not. Further" said the attorney,
this plaintiff does not look like a
negro. He may be a cross between a
Spaniard and a negro or an Indian and
a negro"

SINGS LOVE DlTTY ON WIRE
"Tootsie, Wootsie, Love YOU" Makes
Mrs. Lackous Tired-AppeaIs
to Court

Charles Barnhart, a painter, was in
the police court yesterday morning try
ing to explain why he put in nine
tenths of his time calling up Mrs.
James LackOus of East Fifth street
and singing love ditties to her, and beg
ging her to come out and meet him at
different places. Mrs. LackOus told the
court that she resented his advances
on each occasion, but that the painter
was relentless in his habit of singing:
"Tootsie, WOotsie. 1 Love You" until
she had to have her telephone removed
from her premises.
This didn't daunt him in the least" &"
declared Mrs. LackOus. He COM
menced to write letters to me and threw
these into the house when he passed
by, and then would stand at the corner
for hours waiting for me- At last he
became desperate and threatened to kill
me if 1 did not meet him, and 1 sim
ply had to resort to the law"
Judge Austin, when Barnhart admit
ted that he had done as charged, scored
him severely, and fined him $1OO. Barn
hart almost fell out of the witness
stand, but managed to scare up the
$1O0

In but little more than a year Los
Angeles will probably be operating un-
der new charter, and the old 'nstrU-
ment, which has been patched until
scarcely a shred of its original texture
Is visible, will be dumped into the
waste basket. In order to secure the
charter without waiting for more than
five years, the city council will have to
get busy on the proposition within n
very short time and name a board of
freeholders to revise the charter.
The charter must be ready to present
to the legislature next year and before
this can be done an immense amount
of data must be secured from eastern
cities. Failing this the proposition
cannot come up until 1909, When the
next election is held and will therefore
not be ready to resent to the so!ons
at Sacramento until 1910.
city Attorney Mathews saws the
new charter will probably provide for
eleven wards, instead of nine as is now
the case, and that it is expected that
the council will be a bicameral body,
with perhaps one councilman from
each of the eleven wards and seven
oouncilmen at large. While the biCam-
eral method has been found to result
in number of deadlocks in council
deliberations. it prevents the petty
trading around among the ward repre-
sentatives, whereby one ward may get
something at the expense of another.
Another feature that is contemplated
Ia the new instrument is the impera-
tive mandate. The conservative Gle
ment among municipal officials say
that this is about the only freak form
Of legislation that has been allowed
to escape from the present amended

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands Of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
Mrs. L. @. Glover, Vice-President of
Milwaukee Business Womans Associa-
ton, of GA Grove Street, Milwaukee,
Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
"The chaperonsn at the Mason
Want to Abandon Recall

Another musical comedy, 1.-The Chap
erons, was presented at the Mason last
evening with considerable success. The
piece has visited Los Angeles annually
for number of years. So far as sew
eral tuneful songs are concerned their
age makes no difference, but the jokes
have in no respect improved with the
years. If you can still laugh heartily
at, How do you catch a squirrel? Get
up a tree and make a noise like a
nut" as many did last evening, then
the humor of the show will probably
appeal to you.
The company is not so bad as
many second companies have led
one to expect them to be, and
1.-THE Chaperons" strikes very
happy average of the musical COM
edies which have been here this
season. The costumes are all new and
fetching" and the chorus is pleasing.
Among the most popular numbers
last evening were 1.-The Girl Who

WILL ESTABLISH
NEW MISSIONS
EPISCOPAL CHURCH WORKERS
ACTIVE
Bishop johnson Has Extensive Plans
for Additional Churches In Los
Angeles Diocese-Aequires
Famous organlst

Three new missions, one new church
building and the acquisition of an or
ganist and choir master of national
repute, were announced yesterday as
the first of a series of improvements
and extension of work in the Episcopal
church of the diocese of Los Angeles.
Bishop Johnson has an extensive plan
which he is perfecting as rapidly as
possible for the upbuilding Of the
church in this city.
Two new chapels will be organized
in st. Athanasius parish, for which
ground has been purchased. The first
will be erected near Echo park, which
will include the Belmont Heights,
Washington Heights and Edendale Sec
tions. The second will be located on
Dayton Heights, which was formerly
known as Cahuenga. The chapel near
Echo park will be in charge of the
chapter of the Daughters of the King,
which will conduct Sunday school SER
vices.
Rev. Stephen Sherman, the rector Of
the parish, will arrange to hold Sunday
services at each chapel in addition to
the regular services at st. Athanasius
church Since coming here, about two
years ago, Rev. Mr.. Sherman has en-
larged the church and has built rec
tory. He is making plans for the two
new chapels, which will be small build
ings, later to be enlarged. 1t is the
plan to convert the temporary buildings
erected into the sanctuaries of the
churches which will be later estab
lished as the work increases.
Will Be Separate Parishes
st. Johns parish will establish
chapel at the corner of Washington and
Normandie streets in charge of Rev.
L. G. Morris, the rector. This chapel
will soon be erected, and Sunday
school services will be held there. Rev.
Mr.. Morris will conduct occasional
weekday services there.
The plans for the new church build
ing of st. Lukes mission, at Vernon,
have not been completed, but will soon
take a tangible shape. 1t is understood
that it is the plan of the church to
dispose of the present church property
at the corner of Forty-siXth street and
Central avenue and to purchase prop
erty less valuable, the surplus to be
used on a new building. Rev. Robert
Windsor is in charge of the work.
Very Rev. DR.. j. j. Wilkins, dean and
rector of St. Pauls pro-cathedral, an
nounces that Ernest Douglas of Boston,
an organist and choir master of ma
tional repute, and a well-known writer
of musical topics, has arrived in Los
Angeles to take charge of the music
at the pro-cathedral. lie VIII cOnduct
the services there Sunday.
While the plans already announced
will not mean a large outlay of money,
at the present time, it is the beginning
of what will soon be separate parishes
with enlarged facilities for the church
work. AS the work prospers the build
ings will be enlarged. 1t is understood
Bishop Johnson has in view several
other improvements which are expected
to be consummated in the near fu-
ture.

CENTRAL AVENUE TO BE PAVED
People of District Will Meet Tonight
to Hear Final Report From
CitV Enuineer

The Central Avenue Improvement as
sociation will meet this evening at the
South Side bank, on Central avenue be-
tween Twenty-seventh and Twenty
eighth street to hear a report from the
city engineer regarding the paving of
Central avenue. Other Improvements
will also be discussed.
The people of Central avenue have
been promised the paving by the city
when certain conditions were fulfilled.
These have all been complied with, say
the Central avenue people, and now
they want their street paved. The
question is of great interest to people
of this district and a large attendance
at the meeting tonight is expected.
