If it accomplish nothing else, this Cuban
| imbroglio will have demonstrated the per-
| lection to which our whole war machinery
| has been brought since our brush with
! Spain, some eight years ago.
Things have so fallen in this present af-
| fair as to make a practical test Of our
every important war resource. When Tafts
! call for troops came the President was
| turning to Oyster Bay on his official yacht
Mayfower. off the New England coast. A
| few years ago this circumstance would
| have rendered the commanderin-chief of
| the army and navy utterly out of touch
with public affairs. But no sooner was Sec
rotary Tafts dispatch received by cable at
Washington than it was repeated to the
| navy's chain of wireless stations lining the
| northern coast. High up on her mast the
Maydower's receiver caught the electric
throb Then out through the night her
| wireless transmitter flashed the command:
Arrange for 5000 troops to start for
| Cuba soon as possibe!'
The naval wireless station at Newport
caught the message, and, transferring 1t to
| the wire, sped it Washingtonward. The
machinery which the President started in
motion when he thus touched the electric
button from out to sea commenced from
| that moment to turn, cog upon cog,
| throughout the country, fro. the Pacific to
! the Atlantic.
| Arrangements had been made in advance
! with the great commercial telegraph COM
| panies for the quick handling of messages
| and dispatches, not only with Cuba, but
| with the army posts catered throughout
| the United States.
| Wonderful Record Of Mobilization.
| Within ten minutes after the final wireless
| order came from the Mayfower the tele-
| graph wires were flashing commands to
army posts in all parts of the land. These
| Geographic orders had all been prepared
| and signed in advance and were upon the
| desk of Major General Atnsworth, the mill
| tary secretary, who was merely holding
| them until receiving the supreme command
| from the President. This stack of tee-
| grams commenced the mobilization at New
| port News, of the 1900 troops forming the
! first expedition to Cuba. Immediately
| nine army posts were in hurried state Of
| packing up and bidding farewell. "Still'
trains were in readiness at the terminus
nearest every army post. Two battalions

constitute this exhibit has been got to-
gether by DR.. Charles NJ. Kurtz, director
Of the Albright Gallery in Buffalo, who,
it will be remembered, in like manner
brought to this country the collection of
paintings by men of the Glasgow school
which made circuit of the same descrip-
mer to the enterprise he spared apparently
no pains to attain his ends-to procure not
only those canvases which were best but
most representative.
afforded such an excellent opportunity to
become acquainted with contemporary
German painting as during the present
year." DR.. Kurtz writes in Academy
Notes." of which he is the editor. There
have been important exhibitions in almost
every German city of prominence, besides
the great exposition of German art in
Cologne. the exhibition of "A Hundred
Years of German Painting In Berlin. and
the 'Bavarian Jubilee Exposition in
Nuremberg. At London, also, there were
two exhibitions of German painting"
From all these exhibitions and from
the studios of certain artists DR.. Kurtz
selected and invited works for the ex
hibition to be held in America. At each
full record of the works considered desir-
able; finally these were compared and
culled and the permanent list made out.
The endeavor was to get the cream of
each exhibition and to form a better col
lection than any one of the single annual
exhibits from which works We're chosen.
In almost every case, DR.. kurtZ says the
artist or owner readily consented to loan
the picture or pictures specifically asked
for.
Mr.. Max Weyl has reopened his studio
in the Corcoran building, and as the re-
suit of a vacation trip to King George
county Va, has added some valuable data
to his store and a number OF noteworthy
canyaSpS to the sum total of his product
One of the pictures which Mr.. Weyl paint
ed this summer is view of Virginia low
lands broken IL the foreground by bit of
water, left by long rain retreating
stream, and in the middle distance, to the
and the clouds which drift across the sky
are family tinted. Beneath them the sun
plays hide-and-seek, and across the land
scape in agreeable variation, lie stripes
of bright sunshine and no less grateful
shade 1t is a simple composition and yet
a picture which cannot fail to charm,
so significant Is it, SO pleasing in color
and tone. Another recent canvas, no less
attractive, represents with great force and
directness a brown clump of trees an
otherwise bald hillside, the top of which
marks the sky line while the foot, slop-
ing abruptly, lies in darkenng shadow.
Never perhaps has Mr.. Weyl produced a
stronger painting than this or one more
distinctly individual. And yet 1t is not
with such subjects alone that the painter
Is at his best. Side by side with them and
of equal merit must be considered a third
canvas. just completed, which, with much
subtlety and refinement Of feeling, shows

TO CUT SEALS BOARD BILLS
Park Commissioners Spare WestIake
Pets Life, but Reduce His
Diet Expenses

Jacks life is safe and the lives Of
the fish in Westlake park will also
be prolonged. But Jacks board bills
must be cut down.
Jack is the seal with an abnormal ap-
petite. whose keep has cost the city
so much that the park commissioners
yesterday decided to re-advertise for
bids for Jacks food supply.
Jack on an ordinary week day dis
poses of twenty-five pounds of fish.
This diet costs the city about $35 a
month.
The council by contract has author
lied payment of six cents a pound for
this fish, though in the past one and
one-half cents was paid to the con-
tractor. The sharp eyes OF Secretary
r. H. Mulally recently noted that the
contractor was charging the city $40
a month too much, and cut the
vouchers down that much. Then the
park commissioners decided on some
more trimming.
Commissioner Humphreys put him
self on record as favoring turning the
seal loose because of it's cost 1t was
suggested that Jack be turned loose
In the lake in Westlake park to forage
for himself. However, it was pointed out
that he would soon consume all of the
fish in the lake and perhaps require a

as 1t is believed that the fish can be

Nominee of Nom Partisans for Superior Court Has
Served with Distinction on the Bench
and Has Been Honored By the
United Stat Government

There should be no partisanship in
the election of judicial, county or muni-
cipal officers. They should be selected
solely with a view to their fitness"
This is the stand taken by Judge
Lewis A. Croft, former postmaster of
Los Angeles, and the nominee of the
non-partisans for Judge of the superior
court.
Lewis Augustus Croft was born in
Wooster, Wayne county, Ohio, Deem
Der 81, 1S41, and was educated in the
public schools Of Washington township,
Henry county Ohio, until he was 20
years of age his school days ending
with the beginning of the Civil war. He
served in the army five months in Vir-
ginia as a corporal in Company G, One
Hundred and Sixty-third Ohio National
guard, in 1854. In 1867 he had finished
the study of law and was practicing.
and his talents were recognized quickly,
as shown by his appointment a year
later as assistant United States dis
trict attorney for the northern district
of Ohio, at Toledo, in which position
he served until 1869. His election as
police Judge of Lincoln, Neb., followed
pointment as commissioner of the land
Office, then as postmaster, followed In
order. He was dean of the law school
for year and lecturer for five years.
With his family he removed to Los
Angeles April 8, 1891. He is a member
of various social and other clubs, in
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-26

cluding the California, Sunset and
Sesame clubs, and is a member of the
chamber of commerce. In politics he
is an independent Republican. With his
family, Judge Croft lives at 700 Ocean
Front, Redondo.
Honors at the hands of the govern
ment came to Judge Croft after his
retirement from the bench, and even
after his removal to Los Angeles in
search of health. 1t was following his
regular term as district judge that he
was appointed, September 16, 1889, by
President Harrison to be commissioner
of the general land office of the United
States. He found the office greatly in
arrears. but before his resignation and
removal to California in 1901, he had
brought the work practically up to
date: so efficient had been his adminis-
tration of the affairs of the Office, in
fact, that his salary had been increased
by $1,000. Attempts had been made in
previous years to secure increase of
salary for the office and all had failed;
the victory in this line was personal
tribute to the worth of Judge Croft
March 1, 1900, Judge Croft was ap-
pointed by President Mckinley to the
Office of postmaster of Los Angeles,
and his record for efficiency here is weH
known. Since his retirement from the
postoffice he has been associated with
David E. Spangler in the practice of
law, the firm being known as Croft &
Spangler, with Offices in the Bradbury
building

PRESIDENT TALKS TO PUPILS

President Wheeler of the University
of California addressed the students of
the Polytechnic high school yesterday
afternoon in their auditorium.
Dr. Wheeler was introduced from the
stage by Principal Francis. DR.. Moore
was present, but did not address the
students. Mr.. Wheelers talk was on
the Future Man. He showed the
Students what education meant to the
person who used 1T right and what the
world was suffering at the hands of
those people whose highest ambition
was to grab the almighty dollar.
After DR.. Wheeler's address Mr..
Heathcot Of the Heathcot Dramatic
school had several of his pupils produce
two scenes from the Merchant of
Venice" Mr.. Heathcot took the role
of Shylock and the rest of the charac-
ters were impersonated by young wo-
men.
The production was greatly appre-
ciated by the Polytechnic students. Mr
Heathcot has applied for the position
OF coach of the Polytechnic Dramatic
society and his object in putting on the
production was to give the school an
idea of his work.

Injury

William Kennedy appeared before
Police Judge Rose yesterday on a
charge of beating his wife, who lives
at $40 South Flower street. Kennedy
pleaded not guilty and will be tried by
Jury November Is.
Kennedy was arrested by Patrolman
George Daniels "Wednesday night as
the former was about to enter his wife's
home by way Of window for the al
legged purpose of giving her one of his
habitual beatlngs. Just as his legs
were protruding from the window the
policeman pulled him to the ground
When asked to give an account of
his actions the man became indignant
and said he guessed he had q right to
enter his own home any way he
pleased. Nevertheless he was taken
to the central police station, as the
officer had previously received infor-
nation from Mrs. Kennedy to the eff
feet that her husband had been in the
habit of coming to her home since they
had been separated and administering
beatings to her. The officer sta toned
himself beneath the window by which
the man had been said to usually enter
and was successful in capturing him.
Mrs. Kennedy said she had been COM
PEELED several days ago to send her
two boys to the home of friend owing
to her fear that her husband would do
the children injury.
When Kennedy discovered that the
children had been taken away by the
friend, who was a man, he is accused
of having brutally assaulted him.
