we could run trains through from Salt

when we put on our through trains,
we shall run them as frequently as the

LITTLE PROGRESS
IN HAYS TRIAL
DEFENDANT COMMENDED BY
BANK OFFICIALS
Resolutions Of Praise Passed by the
Directors Admitted In Evidence
After Long
Contest

The proceedings yesterday In the
Hays trial were marked by an endless
chain of discussion on certain legal
technicalities involving the introduce
ton Of evidence.
United States Attorney valentine un-
dertook to introduce for identification
the original books of the bank, but
their introduction was contested by the
attorneys for the defendant, and In
order to allow the attorneys for both
sides to discuss the legal points involv-
ed, Judge Wellborn excused the jury at
8 o'clock until this morning.
Judge Wellborn will rule on the point
this morning, and it is expected that
his decision will have an important
bearing on the final outcome Of the
case.
The defense scored yesterday when
Judge wellborn admitted the resolu-
tions passed by the board Of directors
at the time the Riverside bank closed
its doors. In those resolutions,
whether hasty or not, Tom Hays con-
duct was declared to be above re-
proach, and they have now arisen to
plague the prosecution.
When the trial opened yesterday
Judge Chapman in behalf Of the de-
fendant, read the resolutions passed by
tho hoard of directors of the defunct
bank, in which Hays was commended
for his fidelity.
G.. Rouse, a former director of the
Orange Growers National bank, admit
ted on the stand yesterday that he and
several of his associates had signed
the resolutions in question.
w. A. Hayt, who was also direc-
tor of the defunct bank, identified the
minutes of the board of directors. He
also admitted that he had signed and
approved the resolutions in which
Hays was commended for his faithful
service to the bank.
J. C. Hardman, a Riverside druggist,
and DR.. ]. G. Baird of Riverside also
testified, but their testimony failed to
reveal anything which has not already
come to the surface.
The trial will be resumed this morn

Annual Convention Closes After One
Of the Most Successful Meetings
In the History Of the

The fifteenth annual convention of
the Los Angeles Sunday School asso-
citation was brought to a close last
night after one of the most successful
sessions in the history of the organiza-
ton. The theme for the day was 1.-The
Teacher" and in addition to the ad-
dresses and discussions the members
of the graduating class of the normal
training school for Sunday school
teachers were awarded diplomas and
the annual banquet of the alumni as
ISOLATION was held.
Through the Eye to the Heart" was
the subject of one of the most inter-
esting lectures delivered during the
convention, and Marion Lawrence gave
o practical demonstration of his theo-
ries by means of the blackboard.
There is such a thing as abuse of
objects in the Sunday school lesson"
said he, but IL we will mix a few
brains with our objects the result will
be successful. Clothespin angels have
been overworked and it is time to give
them a rest. Anyone can use a black

TRANSC0NTlNENTAL OFFICIAL
NIPS BROKERAGE DEAL
Increased Travel Over the Union
Pacific Leads Competing Road
to Make an lnvestl-
CATION

Los Angeles ticket scalpers who by a
clever scheme had expectations OF be-
coming rich in the brokerage Of Union
Pacific transportation which they pur-
chased from the company's city ticket
Office here and by a manipulation sold
at a profit have seen their dreams OF
fortune vanish within the past week.
oficials Of competing lines In Los
Angeles say that the Union Pacific has
broken the rules of the Transcontinen-
tai Passenger association. and possibly
the interstate commerce law by the is
suing of combination ticket which
has made possible a largely increased
business for themselves and for the
ticket scalpers.
At the request of the Transcontinen-
tai Passenger association, through It's
chairman, James Carlton of Chicago,
the Union Pacific people have with
drawn from sale the offending combina-
tion ticket.
A month ago the Union Pacific Of
fcials in Los Angeles placed on sale q
ticket to Chicago or Kansas City a;
the regular tariff agreed upon by the
different railroads and according to the
interstate commerce law but gave as
an additional incentive for travel over
their line side trip to several points
out from Denver.
Los Angeles ticket brokers were
quick to see how the ticket could be
made usable in their business even II
purchased at the regular rate from the
Union Pacific ticket Office.
They bought the entire ticket at the
regular rate, detached the coupon call
ing for the trip out of Denver and sold
the through transportation for from
81 to $1.50 less than the entire tickle,
had cost them. The coupon calling for
the side trip from Denver was then for
warded to a broker in Denver, who sold
it for Sc or So, and after deducting his
commission remitted the proceeds to
the Los Angeles scalper, who found it
a profitable business.
First to notice the effect Of the in
creased business of the scalpers was
the Santa Fe. It's management insti-
tuted an investigation and after flnd-
ing out the methods Of the ticket
brokers, and how they were enabled to
make the low rate, turned the case over
to James Carlton of the Transcontinen-
tai Passenger association.
For a week. however, railroad row
was in a turmoil.
John j.. Byrne, general passenger
agent of the Santa Fe, said last night
after explaining the methods Of the
brokers: 1.-THE Santa Fe some three
weeks ago thought that something was
wrong and began an investigation. We
satisfied ourselves as to the facts and
then notified Mr.. Carlton. He pursued
the usual methods and spoilers quickly
found that the scalpers were taking ar
advantage of the Union Pacific and the
issuance Of such transportation ha.
been discontinued"

posts, others hid behind dumbelis and
some stood still, too surprised to move.
The messenger boy looked frightened,
gave utterance to a prolonged "GeeI'
and turned his back.
In lieu of pistol the starter gave
the signal for each race by blowing a
paper bag to its utmost capacity and
then pounded II against the floor.
Miss Jessie Wilson of Berkeley won
the 44o-yard dash In IS seconds. The
22o went to Miss Minnie Klingaman Of
stanford in the record breaking time
OF 10 seconds. Miss Gervias of STAN
ford won the broad jump and Miss
washburn carried of the mile run for
the same institution. Stanford also
won the hammer throw and because
the Berkeley contestants In the hopping
race engaged in crawling match In
stead Of hopping race, this went to
Stanford by default.
Fast Hurdle Race
The hurdle race was no less inter-
esting because the contestants vaulted
over the backs of some of their COM
panions for lack Of the regulation hur-
dies. This race and the pole vault
went to Berkeley. but the high jump
was won by Stanford.
At the close of the relay race a hand
some silver-tin, gold-paper lined cup
was presented to Berkeley. Miss Eliza
beth Miller, author of the yoke" was
guest of honor and was seated with
the other two judges, Mrs. d. X. Ed
wards and Miss Mary S. Luther, on a
platform built especially for the oc-
casion. Big baskets Of peanuts and
ice cold lemonade were also enjoyable
features, and even the nurses and doc
tors who had hardly time to turn
around because of the number of
limbs that had to be placed In splints
and wounds that had to be dressed,
even they voted it the best track meet
ever given.

Scenes From Wyoming Cattle coun-

"'Tha Virginian.n

1.-THE Virginian."
A dramatization of Owen Wister's S
book of that name. by owen Wister
and Kirk La Shelle, produced last
evening at the Mason theater under
the personal direction of John Staple
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-07

1t is like caging an eagle to try and
place a subject so wild and free as the
cattle country between the covers of a
book and 1t is still more difficult to
conflne it to the stage. But Owen Wis
ter has succeeded in both to an extent
which has made him justly famous.
The atmosphere of wyoming ranch
ID not so well impaired to one by the
four acts of 1.-THE Virginian' as it is
by the entertainment offered by Col.
Cody's show, but the former has de-
cided advantage in presenting story
of unusual interest. 1t Is a tale which
combines the best features of high
class melodrama and a rural play
There are not enough cowboy dramas
yet to have them pail on the public
and this one is the very best that has
been presented in Los Angeles.
The play is a series of incidents in
western life rather than drama with
a well-defined pot. The Virginian falls
in love with Mollie Wood. They are
shown together In the first scene at
the dance and christening at Uncle
Hewie's. It is a typical interior of a
Wyoming ranch. The walls are plas-
tered with cheap Autographs and
magazine pictures.
The second act is devoted to making
The virginian foreman of Judge
Henry's ranch and the determination
OF the hero to lead the vigilance COM
mittee, although 1t is setting forth to
find and hang his friend and although
Mollie Wood protests against such
course. The third act is Horse Thief
Pass" the prettiest and most effective
scene of the play. 1t is here the Vir-
ginian finds Steve and the Spaniard
and sends the two to the moose. In
the final act he kills Trampas and hav-
ing shown the audience and his Mollie
that he is a true hero. the latter falls
on his neck and the former gathers
up its wraps and goes home.
Dustin Farnum is an ideal figure for
the leading role and his acting of the
part made the character stand out with
a sharpness and individuality that was
delightful. So well was last nights
idSnlOHaple anu laiBS ouuiShSe Piedseu
with his work that they demanded a
curtain speech. which he made in the
naive and ingenious manner of his
stage character.
His support was generally acceptable.
As Trampas Frank Campeau was ex-
cellent and Bennett Musson made a
good Steve.
Altogether II is one of the most en-
Joyable plays the Mason has presented
this season.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrua-
ton is a severe strain on a woman's
vitality. II It is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-

1t provides a safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.

vincingly what Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.

This resolve to clean the city
Seems a very clever stroke.
As we dream of it's fulfllment
On the air we almost walk,
And it seems as If the cleaning
Largely could be done by talk.

With a los prosaic thud
