DENVER, Jan. 13.-The National

today by the adoption of new consti-
tuition which admitted the packers to

fused to agree to the new constitution,

name of the American Stock Growers
WELD dominating influence in the in
terests of the cattle grower.
Roughly speaking, the sheep grow
ers, commission men and the stock
yards interests remained with the Ma
tional Livestock association, and the
the market have gone with the new
association.
The cattle men who had left the con-
vention gathered at the Brown Palace
hotel in the afternoon and appointed
committee of fifteen to present a
plan for a new organization. It's re-
port, which was unanimously adopted,
recommended that temporary presi-
dent be appointed to hold office until
May 2, when general convention for
the purpose of effecting a permanent
organization will be held in Denver.

At the afternoon session Judge Tay-
Ter, counsel for the protestants, cross
examined Mr.. Whitecotton. The wit
ness, when asked if President Joseph
Smith had said if he observed the GUS
tom which prevailed generally on the
subject of marriage relations "he
would be eternally damned" replied it
would not surprise him, because Smith
was a thorough fanatic"
H. E. Booth of Salt Lake City, a
nom Mormon lawyer, who went to
Utah from Iowa in 1885 and has been
active in the politics of Utah, asserted
that the Mormon church as a church
did not interfere in political affairs,
but that as individuals the members
took an interest in politics in the same
way that other citizens did.
On the subject of Mormons obtaining
consent to run for political office, Mr.,
Booths understanding was that all
apostles were on salary to serve the
church and had duties to perform and
owed something to the church. He
said he believed the church opposed
the election of Moses Thatcher for con-
gress, and he was glad of it, because
Thatcher was polygamist. 1t was his
judgment that President, Joseph E.
Smith had kept the church out Of poll
tics. AS to polygamy. the witness said:
II believe polygamy is as dead as
slavery. Ninety-eight per cent of the
Mormons themselves are opposed to
plural marriages"

MANY HORSES DYING OFF
FROM STRANGE DISEASE
Unknown MaIady Has Deadly Effect
in San Joaquin
Valley
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
STOCKTON, Jan. ia new disease
has fastened it's grip upon the horses
of this country. The disease has char
acteristics of it's own and has yet to
be named. 1t is something entirely
new and is not mentioned in the text
books. The first cases to be noticed
occurred in this city and since then
horses all over the county have fallen
victims of the deadly disease.
The immediate effect of the disease
is paralysis of the throat. When an
animal first feels the clutches of the
sickness there is a slight discharge
from the head similar to ordinary dis
temper. The next condition is that of
paralysis of the vocal chords and the
epiglottis. 1t soon becomes impossible
for the horse to breathe and he literally
chokes to death.
A peculiar thing about the affiiction
is that there is no swelling in the neck
or throat. In fact, the throat is in
clined to waste away.

Nine. eadski Concert

Madame Gadski gave her farewell
recital last night to very enthusias-
tic audience in Simpson auditorium.
1t is a pity that city of the size Of
Los Angeles cannot properly appre-
ciate a singer of her caliber by giving
her an audience worthy the name in
size. Her work was of that dignified
kind that only comes with singer of
experience and years of culture.
Death and the Maiden" by Schu-
bert, and the "Erl King" which she
gave as an encore, were interpreta-
tions that every student in the city
should have heard 1.-The Voices of
Death" and the "Erl Kings Daughter"
were given with a tone color that was
superb. But Gadski is e-eminently a
dramatic soprano and in "Elsas
Dream" and "Tenta's Ballade" she
was the grand opera star of the Met
ropolitan.
AS a fitting climax to the last part
she responded to the audience and
sang the YCall of the Valkyrie." AL
though suffering from slight hoarse-
ness she showed her art by singing
large program with no apologies.
Following is the program:
Part I-Classical songs-"Er Ist
Gekommen" (Franz); Nussbaum
(Schumann); I'm Herbst" (Franz);
"Lotos Blume' (Schumann); Der Tod
und das Maedchen" (SchuberD; "Von
Ewiger Liebe" (Brahms).
Part II-Modern songs: Aria, "Hora
'Novissima" (H. S. Parker); "zwei
Kinderlieder" (by requesD (TauberD;
"Darum durch die Daemmerung' Or.
Strauss); "Arily Beacon" "Nghtin-
gales Song (Nevin).
Part III-Richard Wagner: Piano
solo, finale, Tristan and Isolde"

grin" (Wagner); "Sentas Ballade,"
"Flying Dutchman" (WagneD.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Symphony Orchestra

Herr Arnold KrausS made a pro-
found impression yesterday afternoon
at the third symphony concert. His
triumph was shared by the orchestra
of which he is a member for it never
played better than in the rendition Of
the Beethoven concerto in d major
(opus 61), the number. chosen by the
soloist of the day. This work, which
is technically one of the most difficult
and most exacting for the violinist,
gave Herr Krauss a daring opportun-
ity to challenge criticism. When it is
said that he proved that he could give
an adequate Interpretation of the coN-
certo, no higher praise is necessary.
He played with q mature and a po-
etic conception of the Beethoven COM
position. The work demands tre-
cate passages that occur in the first
and third movements the soloist
showed himself to be a master of his
instrument. His bowling was beauti-
full and his exquisite singing tone was
never marred by an indistinct tone.
At the close of the concerto the aud
ience gave Herr Krauss most enthus
iastic applause. At the back of the
house where group of musicians had
gathered there was an appreciative
demonstration that spoke much for the
achievement of the violinist. After
several recalls, Herr Krauss played as
an encore a Bach aria on the G string.
happy selection, given with the feel
ing of the true artist.
Haydns ninth symphony in c minor
formed the second part of the pro-
gram. This was admirably played.
Harley Hamilton. the director, gave d
fine reading Of the score and won fo"
himself added faith in his powers Of
holding together a permanent musical
organization of the highest class
The audience yesterday was not much
larger than at the previous concerts.
The lower floor of the Mason opera
house was well filled and there were
few seats in the balcony. The pro-
gram should have drawn a larger
crowd of music lovers, but perhaps it
is only human nature for the public
to wait until Herr Krauss comes home
to Los Angeles as a world-famous
violinist, and until the symphony Or
chestra is recognized by eastern critics.

animation of the two state hospital at
tendents, r. d. shanahan and oscar
Retzman, on charge of killing Pa
tient Joseph r. Louis on December 25,
was resumed today
Coroner r. NJ. Kyser testified that he
examined Louis's body and found
marks of violence on It. He noticed
two bruises on the right abdomen and
concluded that many Of the wounds
had been caused by some one beating
Louis with a strap. DIR. L. A. Frary,
who conducted the autopsy on Louis
body, stated that he found many
wounds and bruises on the body. DR..
Frary stated that the death of Louis
was caused principally by the dislo
cation of the spinal column and partly
by injuries to chest throat and
abdomen. The fractured ribs could
have been broken by the attendants
using their knees on Louis while the
latter was PROSTATE on the floor. Sher-
if Dunlap related that Retzman told
him that he was feeding Louis and
Louis made a vicious attack on him.
Retzman struck Louis once and called
to Shanahan for assistance. Louis
then went off into fit and soon died.
This afternon the prosecution closed
it's case and the defense presented no
testimony. Justice Mcknight took the
case under advisement until next Mon
day

All NOW DIES
VERY SUDDENLY
CHINAT0WNS PRIME MINISTER
PROBABLY POISONED
The Death Of Now In San Francisco
Causes Sensation Among Local
CeIestiaIs--Highbinde
Suspected

All (Mr.) Nov, prominent Chinaman
Of Los Angeles, is dead. He died after
partaking of a dinner in San Fran
cisco, and 1t is believed that he was
poisoned. Now is known to have had
many enemies, as he has been sus-
pected of connection with numerous
highbinder murders, both in San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles. It is said
that Now intended returning to China
in the near future and that his enemies
were anxious to wreak vengeance be-
fore he left American soil.
Now went to San Francisco some
time ago, being interested in buying
and fitting up a building for the Hop
Sing tong in that city. 1t is said that
he was suddenly taken sick after at
tending a dinner and died before MEM
bers of his family could reach him.
The news of All Mows death created
a sensation in Chinatown last night
The denizens gathered in groups ard
discussed the passing of Now, some
animatedly and others in whispers
Now was respected, feared and hated.
He was a great man among the Chi
nese because he welded power. Nov
had that ability of organizing forces
which is rarely possessed by China
men, and which, in their hands, is
most dangerous weapon. For this
reason Now was respected and hear
tily despised. He was the head and
front of the Hop Sing tong, one of the
most popular as we'll as powerful
Chinese societies.
To the police Now was known as one
of the shrewdest Chinese residents.
He was believed to be "highbinder"
of high degree. He was never direct
ly connected with any murder. But a
Chinaman expressed the general belief
last night when he said: "Ah Nov, he
no strikee on the head; he killee with
he mouth Now was arrested num-
erous times for running a gambling
place or an opium den without q
license.
In Chinatown Now was known as
chief adviser to Wing Ching, who is
called the "King of Chinatown" Nov
was a shrewd prime minister. His
sway was unlimited. He was a verl-
table Richelieu for cunning. His
power was not only dreaded by China
men, but by the officers as well. They
knew him as a willy, foxy individual,
crafty and plausible. 1t is said that
Now intended returning to China
soon, and the story of his poisoning
includes a chapter, perhaps, showing
that his enemies were fearful lest ne
should escape them by returning to
China.
In Chinatown it is believed that he
was poisoned, although his relatives
deny that there is any ground for such
a theory. 1t is claimed by them that
he was sick a week before his death
occurred. 1t is said that the old fell
lows right name was Choo Now, but
he was generally known as Ah Now.
In Chinese All is the same as Mister"
so that he was correctly "Mr. Now
in Los Angeles. He leaves a wife ana
two children, who were called hur-
riedly to San Francisco by his critical
illness. Now lived at 80 Marches
sault street, where he conducted club
rooms up to several months ago.
