PASADENANS ENJOY
DANCE IN BIG BARN
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Oct. 80. A
genuine Halloween barn dance,
just like those way back east,
brought a large attendance to
the function given by the
Young Woman's league this
evening.
The affair was novel and will
live in the league annals for a
long time as delightful mem
ory.
The Collins barn, a big affair
and we'll adapted for the pur-
pose, located on a ranch on
San Pasqual street, was the
scene of the entertainment.
The young people had swept
and garnished the barn until
it shone again. Jack-o'lanterns
were freely used about the
walls to make the scene attrac-
tive and to send thrills up and
down the spine at one and the
same time.
Punch was served in one
room, while a wheel of fortune
entertained in the other Stalks
of corn served to decorate
and liquid refreshments were
served from a great pumpkin.

HAWTHORNE, New, Oct. 30.-Scores
of horses that made the race from
Hawthorne and down the mountain
sides to the Walter lake reservation
were shot and killed this morning to
end their suffering.
1t was found that the animals had
been entirely united for future work,
having either been crippled in the run
over the rocky country or having had
their lungs permanently weakened.
The carcasses of the animals will be
buried i'm deep trenches.
One of the most serious shooting af-
trays that has yet been reported oc-
Cured at Dutchman today when two
men attempted to drive William Nc
Gilroy off his claim. McGilroy was
fred at two times and had it not been
for the timely interference of Deputy
Sheriff Butler he would probably have
been killed McGiroy was one OF the
foremost men in the rush. Last night
McGilroys monument was thrown
down and he was restoring 1t this
morning when two men put In an ap-
pearance. covering McGilroy with their
rifles. They demanded that he leave
the premises When he refused to do
so they commenced firing at him and
had fired three bullets In his direction
when the Deputy Sheriff put In an ap-

Reign Of HoodIumlsm in San Francisco
Aimed at Japanese
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-Bshop M G..
Harris missionary bishop Of the
Methodist Episcopal church for Japan
and Korea, was the speaker at the
Methodist preachers meeting.
He referred to the protest made by
the japanese ambassador at Washing
ton because of the exclusion Of japan
ese children from the schools in San
Francisco. In discussing this Bishop
Harris said:
"This incident will not lessen the
cordiality of the relations that now ex-
ist between the two governments.
ut is true that there has of late been
a reign of hoodlumism in San Fran
cisco and Japanese there have been
disgracefuHy treated in many in
stances 1 was there for week at the
time and it was really unsafe for the
Japanese to venture in the streets at
night.
'In spite of these things, however,
the japanese are fully aware that they
proceed from local conditions and do
not Indicate national prejudice on our
part.
''The Japanese people are sincerely
desirous of maintaining good relations
with the Americans.
They have the greatest respect for
President Roosevelt and they are salts
fed that under his direction the
American government will do what is
right Whatever he says or does is
widely commented on in Japan and the
people there have confidence that what
he may do will be right"

Same Views as Before
BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 30.-Presi-
dent Altman and his fellow members OF
the board of education are now busily
engaged in preparing data to be pre-
sented to Victor H. Metcalf, secretary
of the department of commerce and la
Dor, relative to the separation of white
and Japanese children in the public
schools.
Secretary Metcalf is coming as the
personal representative of President
Roosevelt. who has been appealed to
by the Japanese government, and while
the local board is prepared to extend
every courtesy to the distinguished Wis
itor not one member of the local ed
ucatlonal body feels willing to admit
thai wrong has been done the Jap
anese.
President Altman stated today that
representatives of the Japanese and
Korean league of this city would meet
Secretary Metcalf upon his arrival and
would be prepared to point out to him
just why the board of education could
not legally permit the Japanese to at
tend school with the white children OF
this state and wherein the action of
the board was In strict compliance with
the state law.
After this meeting the data prepared
at the instance of acting United States
Commissioner Of Immigration Thomas
M. Crawford will be submitted to Mr..
Metcalf and any point in which there
issa chance for controversy will be ex-

INTRENcH IN ARMADA HILLS
Utes Have Ammunition and Pro
visions in Plenty


BY Associated Press.
RENO, New, Oct. 30-Today, the new
towns of Dutchman and Cottonwood
on the western shore of Walker lake,
are the scenes of great activity.
The townsites are being laid out
by surveyors and on the streets that
have been designated stores are being
erected and tent dwellings put up.
On every mountain slope can be seen
hundreds of men doing location work
on claims.
The ferries that are being run across
Walker lake promise to become per-
manent feature of the new mining re-
gion. Today a large number of passen-
gers was carried between the eastern
and western shores of the lake, many
of them making the trip doing so
merely for sightseeing.
1t is estimated that at least 5000
prospectors are satisfied with the
claims they have found and are re-
naming on the reservation. All night
long and today a steady stream left
the reservation without having found
any land that they believed was worth
taking up.
1t is still the public opinion that the
reservation was opened under unfair
conditions People who abided by the
law and waited for the signal assert
they had no chance against those who
rode or walked over the boundaries the
night before.
That considerable litigation will re-
suit from overlapping and disputed
claims is evidenced by the fact that a
number of prospectors have retained
lawyers to institute damage suits.
There was considerable excitement
at Hawthorne last night when Ben
Hanley, clerk in a store. found four
men in the place. He opened fire with
a revolver and struck one man in the
cheek. The men all escaped.
