IN MOCK BATTLE
FORT IS TAKEN
JAPANESE CELEBRATE THEIR
COUNTRYS VICTORY
Miksdo's Subjects at Tropieo Receive
Surrender of Cars Fortress,
Americans Invited to
the Feast

Festivities which began early yes
terday morning and continued until a
late hour last night marked the cele-
bration with which 200 japanese at
Mahara's camp near Tropico received
the news of the fall of Port Arthur.
Prominent Japanese from Los An
geles and San Francisco were in at
tendance and appeared on the program
which was given during the afternoon.
A miniature fort was constructed,
and n mock heroic storming of the
fortress with its attendant surrender
was the feature of the morning cele-
bration. Japanese in Russian costume
impersonated the Russian generals and
the surrender of the fort to Japanese
commanders took place with all the
seriousness of actual warfare.
Then began the celebration, i'm which
over 100 Americans who had been in
vited participated. A dinner of six
courses was served and was followed
by the reading of the imperial procla-
nation, the singing of national songs
and patriotic addresses.

WORKING Habits

To test the truth of the assertions OF
many persons that they sleep better
with their heads pointing to the north.
work better facing the east, and so ON,
DR.. Charles Fere, who is well known in
France for his studies in physiological
psychology, has constructed u delicate
machine which he calls an ergograph
with which he has achieved some in
teresting results. This machine regis
ters the number, rapidity and quality
of the movements of the index finger
when writing or performing any ac-
oustomed work. He announces that
his experiments with it prove that
work done by a person facing the west
or east is better by 25 per cent than
similar work done by a person facing
the north or south, and that when
working facing the west it is about %
per cent better than when facing the
east.
This matter of orientation seems to
have an influence upon the nervous
system due largely, it is believed, to
the fact that the earth is gigantic
MAGNET Many learned men have no
ticed that they sleep best with the
head to the north, and work better fac
ing the west, while at least one famous
pianist iinds he plays with the greatest
ease when the piano faces the cast 1t
may he that the great migrations of
the human race, all of which nave been
from east to west, aud the observed
tendency of trees to develop III the
same general direction are in some way
related to these phenomena-New

Unique American College

The American college is every way
unique; it may be defined in a word
as a school for imparting more gener-
al and advanced instruction than can
be obtained in the various academies
and private schools. The university,
however, more particularly comprises
number of technical schools, impart-
ing instruction in all departments of
knowledge, including classical litera-
ture, the arts and sciences, as biology,
medicine, surgery, law, theology, me-
chanics. and so on. The issue as to
which is the most desirable, the most
useful, has been discussed at educa-
tional congresses, in the public press,
and notably in the leading reviews.
There has been evident in these dis
cussions a tendency to look upon the
college as kind of inferior school
which must be given its place only
establish the more expensive universi-
ty. On the other hand, the college has
not wanted its stout champions, in
whose view the American college, with
it's concentrated curriculum, the close
ness of touch between pupil and pro-
fessor, is not only an institution that
is to be conserved, but is one that
often, if not always, offers a better
kind of education than is available in
the university-Leslie's Weekly.

SCHOOL MONEY IN DISPUTE
California Teachers Committee to
Take Hand in Fight

A meeting of the special legislative
committee of seven selected by the
California State Teachers association
to combat Governor Pardee's recon-
mendation for the redistribution of the
state school fund, has been called for
next Saturday in San Francisco.
Superintendent Mark keppel received
notice of the meeting yesterday and de-
clared his intention of being present.
A three -cornered fight is likely to re-
suit, and it is probable the question will
be fought out before the legislature.
The southern legislators will be ap-
pealed to to support the southern coun-
ties against the combination i'm the
north in the enactment of new law
that does not meet the favor of Gov
ernor Pardee.

The Benefit of Fairy Tales

1t is very reasonable to argue that no
creation of human fancy could last as
fairy tales have lasted through no one
knows how many hundreds and thou
sands of years unless 1t was very good
For that which is not good and not
sound must surely die and only that
which is good and sound shall last
through the grindings of the ages.
SO 1 believe that parents should fill
their children's imaginations full of
fairy tales If they would make those
strong and healthy. AS
for that man or woman who has not

DISPATCHER DRIVEN INSANE
Santa Fe EmpIoye Committed to an
Asylum

Driven to madness through the
anxiety that always attended him
through twenty-five years service as Il
train dispatcher on the Santa Fe sys-
tenn is the story unfolded yesterday in
Judge Wilbur's court when Joseph S.
Carson was examined by the lunacy
commission, declared to be hopelessly
insane and committed to an asylum.
At the age of 16 years Carson entered
the telegraph service as an operator
and he gradually rose to the position of
train dispatcher, which he held under
the Santa Fe system until a short time
ago, when broken down in mind and
tody he sought treatment at the Sierra
Madre Sanatorium.
Carson suffers from many delusions,
and among them is the fancy that he is
tne possessor of millions.

PeddIers of "Phony" Rings

Peddlers of "phony' jewelry have
been getting good results in Los An
geles for several weeks. Within the
past few days several arrests have
been made with a view to stopping
the sale of these cheap articles. Last
night Thomas Mccullough was caught
in the drag net" When he faced
the desk sergeant he was at once told
to take off his shoes. Two large in
itial rings, imitation gold, rolled out
on the floor as he drew off the left
shoe.
"I thought so,'' said the officer. Nc
Cullough only scoWled. The officers
say that Mccullough is the fifth man
who has been found with these cheap
articles of jewelry concealed on him.
The peddler finds a man a little un-
der the influence, learns his name and
then produces an initial ring which
it is pretended was found on the street.
The victim readily buys it. as it is
represented to be gold. A. large guam
tity of cheap rings and jewelry has
been disposed of in this way. Chief
Hammel is directing crusade against
the peddlers of these "phony" rings.

Paris PaImist Praises Women

Mime. de Thebes, the famous palmist
and clairvoyant of Paris, has published
her almanac for the year 1905, and the
book is said to be full OF strange things.
At present we must take it on hearsay,
but later no doubt the almanac Will
he found over here. AT all events she
will be as entertaining as i'm the past,
and that's saying good deal. This
year Mime. de Thebes devotes much
space TO her Investigations as a PALM
list. She says she has been long study
ing the hands of men and women of
nearly every class, and during that
time she has never seen any signs of
superiority in the hands of men nor
indications of inferiority i'm those of
women. III all hands were the same
admixture of good qualities and bad
the same signs of lucky tendencies,
kindly promises, sinister menaces and
pernicious attractions. She also says
women are susceptible of receiving to
a surprising degree the higher intel
to a still higher extent of displaying
moral courage. The first of these gifts
puts her ON a par with men, her Sec
ond places them above the other sex.
They can better support physical pain
and the tribulations OF life than men,
whom madame describes as the poor
kings OF creation, and so ON, all of
which has been said also in one way
or another by others. who do not have

his suit against the Pacific Electric
Railway company was yesterday dis
missed by Judge, York in the superior
court.
How drunk he really was" is the
unique point that was raised yesterday
in the trial of this peculiar case.
According to the evidence Civalier
boarded a Pasadena car August Is and
stood up near the rear steps. While the
car was running at high rate of speed
the plaintiff "fell overheard" thereby
sustaining severe injuries.
large number of witnesses called
upon to testify varied materially when
the exact degree of drunkenness was
gone into.
Some were certain that he was in the
singing stage, while others We're posi-
tive that he was in the fighting stage
and totally irresponsible.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Judge York gave judgment for the de-
fendant.

day that in order to recover damages

Warrants were issued yesterday FOR
the arrest of II. c. Wyatt, manager OF
the Mason opera house Of Los Angeles
and lessee of the Lowe opera house OF
Pasadena, on a charge of violating one
of the fire protection features OIL the
Pasadena theater ordinance.
chief of Police Freeman says he in
company with a mepber of the force
visited the Lowe opera house on the
right of December 81 during the pre-
sentatiou of isis Hopkins" and dis
covered that the front exits were closed
and locked. This he says is contrary
TO an ordinance requiring that doors
and exits to public halls or theaters
shall be open prior to-. during per-
formances and Immediately afterward.
The chief also says that he and his
deputies have found the same condition
of affairs at the theater before and that
the manager has been warned against
continuing TO keep doors locked.
Manager Wyatt said he had no
knowledge that any violations Of tho
Pasadena ordinances had been COM
mitted and that he had given instruc-
tions to his manager at the Lowe to

night when the investigation was made

REALTY MEN WAR
ON DUST NUISANCE
BUSINESS INTERESTS T0I
AGREE ON PLAN
Organized Movement viii Be Started
Under the Direction of Street
Superintendent James
Hanley

An organized and systematic move
ment was inaugurated against the dust
nuisance in the business streets Of Los
Angeles when delegation Of the Los
Angeles Realty Boaard called on street
Superintendent Hahley yesterday to
ask that official to make an effort to
clear the streets of the clouds of dust
which are now SO annoying.
President Erkenbrecher, Secretary
Burdett and Leonard Merrill, G.. M.
Giffen, Percy II. CLARK and A. 70. POM
eroy represented the real estate men
in the conference. superintendent
Hanley declared himself in favor of
any means which would rid the down.
town streets of the dust clouds and
which would not affect special inter-
ests. He pointed out the difficulties
of the problem and drew attention to
several methods which have been tried
but have met with objection from
many sources.
Mr.. HanIey showed that it Is imprac-
ticable to do as many urged and thor
oughly flush the streets, as there is
already shortage of water. Then
heavy sprinkling was opposed because
it makes the streets muddy, and il they
are swept without being sprinkled the
dust rises in such clouds that 1t blows
into the stores and damages merchan-
disc.
Superintendent Hanley said the
problem is an important one to Los
Angeles and some method ought to be
adopted at once, and suggested that
the realty board call a meeting of the
various commercial and civic organiz-
ations in Los Angeles to discuss the
question.
With all those affected in a business
way represented Mr.. Hanley thinks
some method can be agreed upon which
should be agreeable to all and which
will not damage any interests.
Accordingly the realty board last
night mailed letters to the secretaries
of the chamber of commerce, Merch-
ants and Manufacturers association,
Municipal league, Associated Jobbers
and the Automobile club, asking them
to send representatives to confer with
superintendent Hanley, meeting in the
assembly hall of the chamber of COM
merce at A o'clock Monday afternoon.
