SOCIAL DIARY
AND GOSSIP
BY GRACE GRuNDY
Brilliant Eaatar Ball

The crowning event of four days de-
voted to brilliant Easter functions
came last night with the reception and
dance given at Kramer's by Mr.. and
Mrs. Cameron Erskine Thorn. and at
tended by almost four hundred Of So
ciety's most representative men, maids
and matrons.
If beautiful gowns had been seen at
other functions It was still evident that
the most elaborate had been saved for
this occasion. and these. together with
the hundreds Of blossoms which Miss
Forman had used i'm the decorative
scheme, presented a scene in the ball
room that has probably never been sur
passed in Kramer's.
Under canopy of asparagus plu-
mosus that stretched from one end OF
the ball room to the other the company
danced to music which emanated from
an enclosed alcove i'm the balcony. But
terflies in every shade and hue were
alight on the fern and dazzled in the
light of the shaded electric lights. In
the reception hall similar abundance
of greenery and blossoms were used,
setting off to advantage the handsome
gowns OF the receiving party. The
party included Mrs. Eleanor Martin or
San Francisco, the guest of Mrs. Thorn
and honor guest of the evening; Mrs.
Stephen C. Hubbell in gown of white
lace, Mrs. Willoughby Rodman in pale
green chiffon and duchess lace, Mrs.
LeMoyne Wills in pale yellow crepe de
chine, Mrs. William johnson in
spangled black net, Mrs. /. N Van
Nuys In pompadour silk richly trimmed
in lace, Mrs. Earl Il. Miller in crea-
tion of blue moire crepe, Mrs. John G.
Mossin in white chiffon and lace over
silk, Mrs Allan c. Balch in silk, heav-
lily spangled, and Mrs. Ynez Shorb
White. The hostess was gowned in a
robe of blue chiffon and lace over POM
padour silk.
Supper was served in the banquet
room on the lower floor, which was
ablaze with yellow blossoms. Wild
mustard was in every available spot
and combined with it sprays of wild
oak. Yellow daffodils and white sweet
peas, together with feathery sprays of
fern, were used for table decorations
The blossoms were arranged in Easter
novelties. Carts drawn by diminutive
rabbits were utilized for some, while
others were arranged in rabbits nests.
Favors were in Easter design, and even
in the menu for the elaborate supper
this idea was carried out.

A luncheon, dainty in all its appoint
ments, was given yesterday by Mrs

arrangement on the polished wood
tables, sweet peas and ferns being en-
ployed to carry out the idea. Guests

THE VAIL OF HrARsTs YnILoWesT

The statement in William r. Hearst's yellow news
Of yesterday that The Herald had been sod or
is about to be sold, to Mr.. Henry e. Huntington is
malicious, deliberate and venomous falsehood--a lie
printed after the had been investigated by the
Daily yellow and found to be a lie.
The repeated declaration by the same unspeakable
sheet that The Herald is owned controlled by General
Otis has been answered by The Herald so often and
such emphatic that 1t needs no attention at
this time
These attacks upon The Herald by Hearsts Yellow
newspaper-attacks upon The Herald's ownership its
circulation and its busness--are occasioned by a condi
tion which gives public interest to the situation The
facts as follows:
First. The Hearst Yellow has reached the parting
of the ways The small circulation which It at first bam
boozled the public subscribing has disappeared
melted away until 1t is compelled now to resort to a
great hullabaoo, concerted beating of tomtoms, to
keep appearance of circulation 1t dare not make
detailed daily statement of the number of newspapers
It prints, but satisfies itself with wild claims that deal
only with lump sums.
Second The Hearst paper is falling away in its adj
versng patronage to extent alarming to its owner.
Merchants and business men who went into the Daily
yellow under the whoop and hurrah of the initial mum.
bers have dropped and refusing to renew their
contracts.
Third The Hearst paper, finding itself in a bad way
respecting both it's circulation and it's advertising has,
it is understood, determined to bid for the city printing
"a determination which the Hearst management else
where has always shifted at conduct beneath the
dignity q? of Hearst newspaper In order to press
its claims in the direction of the city hall has begun
contemplate warfare upon the business of its
temporaries-a warfare unmany and unwarraned
that it will perforce fail of its purpose.
With these facts in mind, the concomitant facts
also worthy of attention. as follows
First The Herald's advertising patronage has grown
by leaps and bounds since the beginning of the cur
year. Annual contracts have been and are being
made that emphasize the popularity of The Herald
into the business of the Daily Yellow This claim
The Herald and watch us grow"
Second. The circulation of The Herald has had a
phenomenal increase since January 1st This fact jars
the nerves of the Hearst paper renders it hyster
cal The daily circulation of The Herald is pub
lshed conspicuously today, many other days.
The Heralds front page
The people of Los Angeles will bear us out in the
statement that The Herald has been patient and for
bearing in its with all its business rivals.
has stopped unbusinesslike methods nor sought
to gain advantage by malicious and lying tales
But the limit is reached. Anybody any newspaper
that fight with The Herald can get it without
much trouble.
And as for the yellow Hearst sheet which dsgraces
journalism by its sensational and parvenu methods its
in Los Angeles is about 1t is tottering upon
its decaying legs.

GREAT DAMAGE RESULTS.
Break in the Kentucky River Growing
Larger.

Winchester, KY, March 1.-THE
break in the Kentucky river near
Ford, this county, grows wider, and
the channel, fully 100 yards wide, s
filled with a rushing torrent that is
rapidly eating into the south bank of
the government locks. Water has
ceased to flow over the dam, as the
current OF the river is going through
the new channel. Giant trees of
century's growth are torn loose and
carried away. One of the government
buildings at the locks fell into the
river and the others are in danger.
Conservative estimates place the dam
age thus far at 100000. Backwater
from the dam at Valley View no longer
extends to Ford, as the river has also
cut a channel around the dam at that
point, where the damage is estimated
at $4,000.

kURoPATkIN REPORTS HIS ARMY
FALLING BACK ON HARDIN
IN GOOD CONDITION.
ULTIMATE FATE STILL DOUBTFUL
WEARY PuRSUERS MAY BE UNA
BILE TO CUT OFF RETREAT
OF MUscovITEs.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

Tie pass is now in the hands of the
Japanese and the broken Russian
army continues it's retreat to the north.
No details of the action have been re-
ceived and the ultimate fate of the
remnant of Kuropatkin's force is still
problematical.
Another successful fanking move
ment ON the part of the Japanese
would probably seal its fate, but 1t
may be that the Japanese are not in
condition to accomplish such a feat
after their exhausting efforts of the
past two weeks.
General kuropatkin evidently left
Tie pass Wednesday and reports to st.
Petersburg that his army is falling
back in good condition.
The next town of Importance in the
line of the Russian retreat is Kaiyuan,
some twenty miles from Tie pass, but
its strategic value is not known.

REsEL ATTACKS Won BUELoW.
Germany's Russian Policy Cause of
Bitter Discussion.


Berlin, March 17.-Chancellor Won
Buelow and Herr Bebel, the Socialist
leader, engaged in a bitter discussion
in the reichstag over Germany's Rus
sian policy. The chancellor's usual
composure and good humor in debate
were disturbed by the almost savage
criticism of the Socialist chief, who
said that Germany's creeping before
Russia had Inundated her in the eyes
of the world and had brought her to
shame" He held Won Buelow respon-
sible for Prussia's engaging in the
nasty work of catching fugitives from
Russian military service and turning
them over to agents of the autocrat
and for forcing men and women, whose
only offense was love of liberty, to
leave Prussian territory at the in
stance of Russian spies
Herr Bebel laughed scornfully at
the chancellors assertion that the So
cialists want war with Russia. He
had answered such reproaches dozen
times Were an insurrection to break
out in Russian Poland Won BueloM
would doubtless send n&e to st.
Petersburg offering German troops to
help in suppressing it.
The Socialist chief was twice called
to order by the president of the house.

HUNDREDS IN PANIC.
Rearend Collision of New York Ele.
vated Trains.


vated Trains.
New York, March 1.-TWO persons
were badly hurt and a dozen others
slightly injured, while hundreds were
thrown into panic of fear by rear
end collision between two southbound
Sixth avenue electric elevated trains
at Seventy-second street and COlum-
bus avenue during the forenoon rush
hours. A train which had just stopped
at the station was run into by another
that had been following it closely.
The accident is thought to have been
due to failure of the airbrakes of the
second train to work.
Passengers said that the collision
was due to the attempts of the motor
man of the rear train to discover how
near he could bring his train to the.
one ahead of him without hitting it.
They aver that he made several such
attempts before the accident and then
became confused and failed to stop
his train in time.
Passengers on both trains became
wildly angry when they discovered the
cause of the accident and made rush
for the motorman with cries of ':lynch
him" and mob him. Police reserves
were called out.

Washington, March 17.-Several
prominent senators had conferences
during the day with President Roose-
velt regarding the Santo Domingo
treaty. 1t was the opinion of all of
them that nothing could be accom-
plished by prolonging the session at
this time and it was indicated to the
president that the senate would be
ready, finally, to adjourn on Saturday,
unless he had further business to
bring to it's attention. Even yet, it is
understood, no absolute agreement
had been reached regarding the treaty,
but the disposition is simply to lay it
aside without action.

MAY SURROUND KUROPATkIN
JAPANESE IN FORCE APPEAR TO
THE NORTH OF RUSSIAN PO-
SiTION AT TIE PASS.

st. Petersburg, March 17.-The
news from the front is again very seri-
Gus. Field Marshal Oyama is striking
another blow at the defeated Russian
army In spite of the exhaustion OF his
forces after the long twelve-day strug-
gle for Mukden he has been able to
organize a fresh turning movement In
the hope of completing the victory won
under the walls of Mukden. Tuesdays S
attack upon the Russian advance line
at the Fan river, it is now evident,
was only a feint while Japanese col
umns were being worked around to get
in position to fall upon the Russian
rear and Wednesday the blow was
struck, a dispatch to the Associated
Press from Santoupu bringing to ST..
Petersburg the first word that a bat
tie was in progress north of Tie pass.
That General kuropatkin was taken
by surprise is a fair inference from
the manner in which Tuesday night
he abandoned the Fan river positions,
leaving so hurriedly that he again was
obliged to burn his stores to prevent
them from falling into the hands of
the japanese. 1t is evident that
the japanese forces struck in from
west OF the Liao river. Tie pass is
practically the gate where the noun
tains and Lao river meet and it COM
mands the whole country northWard.
With the Japanese in force behind
the Russian army at Tie pass General
Kuropatkins position is extremely
critical Once the Japanese are across
the river in force Kuropatkin would
have to cut his way out or be sur
rounded.
