Cosmos Club Women in Discussion
Give Popular Game
Black Eye

Whist, long upheld as the great in
tellectual game, received a blow at the
hands of club women from which it
may never recover.
The question of card playing at enter
tainments given by literary clubs came
up for discussion at a meeting of the
Cosmos club yesterday afternoon in
Symphony hall and the general opinion
is that whist should be tabooed.
whist parties. are not adapted to
clubs whose purpose is literary develop
nent," said one leading member.
"There are always individuals in club
who do not approve of cards, and for
those who do there are plenty of places
outside the club where they can pay"
cards are destroying conversations, :"
said another member. land hours which
might be filled with expressions of
hea thful thought are spent over the
card tables"
The relation of the old member IF
the club to the new member was also
the subject for a lively discussion and
it was declared that the old members
should not hobhob together too much.

CHINK new YEAR
IN FULL BLAST
Ching Foo Lee, Noted Magician,
Big Attraction at Chinese
Theater
Many Tourists Turn Out to See Sights
In Oriental Los Angeles

Chinese New Year is in full blast in
Chinatown, and Chinese lilies are ripe.
The slant-eyed Celestial is having the
time of his life and one of the great rec
reations is the afternoon and night
performances of Ching Foo Lee, prob
| ably the most famous Chinese magician
III this country.
Ching Foo Lees performances are
given every afternoon at the old Chi
nese theater at 416 North Los Angeles
street, in the heart of the Chinese dis
trict. He arrived few days ago from
San Francisco, accompanied by his
charming little Chink wife, who by the
way speaks and writes English with
remarkable ability. She sits inside the
door and takes tickets until it is time
to go behind the scenes and help her
noble lord eat fire and toss battle axes
in the air. Tickets for adults are rs
cents and for children Is cents. Yester-
day Lee gave his first performance in
Los Angeles, and a number of tourists
were in the audience.
During the Chinese New Year, which
will last till Wednesday, Lee will give
performances in the afternoon at 2:3O
and at night at s o'clock. In many
respects he surpasses the most noted
Americans in his line of entertainment.
and white people are nearly as plentiful
In his audiences as are Celestials
Those who want to see the Chinaman
enjoy himself in the celebration of his
new year should not fail to see Lee at
the Chinese theater.

temporary occupation of territory on
this continent. He is ready to admit
that the collection of debts was not
part of the Monroe doctrine. He did
not like the present situation. but
would prefer it to having European
powers take possession of the custom
houses of Santo Domingo.
Mr.. Lodge declared that We could
not permit foreign powers to take
possession of ports and harbors In the
Caribbean sea which guarded the APP
preach to the Panama
Mr.. Lodge said that if we had left
Santo Domingo in it's present bad con-
dition, we might have to take the ISL
and in order to prevent some other
country from taking it.
In closing, Mr.. Lodge said:
'These attacks, Mr.. President, are
aimed at the president of the United
States with the idea apparently of
creating an impression that he is a
usurper, seeking to break through
the constitutional limitations which
have been drawn about his great Of
flee"
This same charge has been made
during the campaign when he was a
candidate for election to the presi-
dency. 1t was made the main issue
that he was a dangerous man, dis
posed to break down and disregard the
constitution of the United States. The
question was fought out before the
people of the United States and those
who made the charge got their ansWe err
at the polls.
They failed to convince the people OF
the United States that there was one
particle of truth in the charge and this
dangerous man, whom they held up as
liable to involve the country in war,
has made the greatest achievement of
tet, FOL hi illat ont
of peace between two great warning
nations.
every step the president has taken
has been in the interests of peace, our
own peace and that of the world.
what is the use of trying to arouse
feeling now when the president has
received the great Endorsement of the
American voters when he has passed
out finally and irrevocably from the
region of candidate for the office of
president and published his refusal in
his own words as explicitly and as
honestly as a man could do it? Yet
they charge that the usurpation of the
man who refused not merely to be a
candidate, but even to accept the great
Office if it was again offered to him
because he said that, although tech
nically he had not received two terms,
practically he had and he wished to
live up to the custom and the tradi-
tons which had been established by
Washington. A man who is as sensi-
tive as that, Mr.. President, to the
traditions of his country, | think, can
be trusted not to violate the constitu-
ton openly or secretly in an agree
ment with another nation
Mr. Teller followed Mr. Lodge in de-
Tense of the privileges of the senate
in the matter of treaties. He contend
ed that in Santo Domingo the presi-
dent had attempted to do what only an
act of congress could justify.
The senate at p. m. went into eX-
ecutive session. At 3:15 p m. the
doors were re-opened and the senate
took up the private pension calendar
and at 4:12 p. m. adjourned.

upon you. The thirty-fourth year OF
the reign of the great emperor has
arrived and with it come blessings
Such was the chant of a priest of the
temple of the Gong Jue. at daybreak
yesterday morning. as with barred head
and shoeless feet he walked the little
balcony over the temple court and
called to the people of the Chinese set
Element to come forth and celebrate.
Then the first busy stir of the day
was observed, for the Chinese believe
in starting New Years day with early
rising. Late Tuesday night the tired
and sleepy Celestials piled into bed.
scrubbed and cleaned, many of them
for the first time of the year. but all
ready for the day which to them means
the same as Christmas, New Years and
Fourth of July combined, to their
American brothers.
Scarcely had the first call Of the
priest sounded through the settlement

year, and out of dens, rickety tene-

Strive to Be "EarIy Bird
There is a sacred rule among the
Celestials that he who first worships
in the temple on the morning OF the
new year is blessed for the coming
year. Many blessings are supposed to
be given during the year but the early
bird catches the worm, and first come,

great joss.
1t was a solemn service in that old
temple. The first flush of the dawn
was upon the settlement. the great
spears of red and gold sunlight rose
from beyond the hills and pierced the
heavens. Gently it glanced in through
the smoke-stained door of the temple
of Gong Jue and rested for moment
upon each bowed head and shiny
queue.
AS the first glimpse of the monarch of
day could be seen as the sun swept
skyward, the soft chant of the celes-
tails rose shrilly through the corridors
of the temple. The great smiling joss.

and the bowed heads rose and fell
quickly in the sacred kowton. Then
with a last dismal tremulo the Nom
Wau leaned forward and set fire to the

The thin column of smoke rose wav-
ering to the god, tickled his sacred nose,
flowed over his head and neck and
then disappeared in the galleries of the
temple. There was a burst of music, II

thousand lunches of fire crackers were
exploded from sticks hung over the
balcony.

SEXTON SAVES HIS GOOSE
Chase Leads Over Graves in Camden
Cemetery, but the Fleeing
Thief Is Caught

special u Inc
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 24-Over
tombstones, across graves and around
the walks of Camden cemetery yester-
day, Timothy Scull had a hot chase
for his dinner, a goose ready for the
oven. He won the chase and will not
go hungry today.
Soul was enjoying his pipe in his
official home in the burying ground
when a spry tramp appeared, asking
for a cup of coffee. The fellows in
science aroused Scull's ire and the cof-
fee was refused. The fellow was start
ing away when his eye caught the fat,
juicy-looking goose, which the sexton S
wife had almost ready for baking. His
next move was to place the goose ul,-
der his shabby coat and make a break.
The alert sexton was on his heels in Il
trice The chase grew hot, for the sex
ton had visions of an empty table at
noon, and the hobo dreams of a feast.
Others joined the chase and the
tramp was so holly pressed that he had
to give up. The precious bird was re-
turned to Sexton Scull and the tramp
was sent to Jail. He gave the name,
James Greer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Because of her
failure to shed her old feathers and
don her new year dress Rita, cock

lost her place yesterday as queen of
the bird house.
Rita has been suffering from cold so
much that she failed to lose her soiled
and worn plumage when her COM
panions shed their feathers and APP
peared in handsome garb. For long
time she has received much attention
because of her attractive appearance,
and when she found out that her rivals
had their new year plumage and her
own had not arrived she was deeply
chagrined.
When the Sunday concert began her
companions took positions on the perch
in their quarters in order that they
might rest comfortably while listen
ing to the music. Rita tried to get on
the perch, but her old admirers and
her enemies showed her off. Then she

NOT ENTITLED
To IMMUNITY
ATTORNEY SCOUTS CLAIM OF
PACKERS
MIR. Morrison Says the Fact That
Beef Magnates Talked With
Garfield Does Not Prevent
Prosecution
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Jan. 24.-District Attorney
Morrison concluded his statement in the
packers case today. He confined him
self largely to points of law and the
terday between the lawyers was not in
evidence.
The substance of Mr.. Morrison's
statement was that the packers were
not entitled to immunity because they
did not claim it at the time Commits
sioner Garfield was conducting his in
vestigation into the beef packing indus
try. He also commended that because
the packers were not sworn at the
time of giving evidence to Commits
sioner Garfield they are not entitled to
immunity. Just because a man talked
to the commissioner of corporations, he
declared, does not under the laws con-
stitute any claim to immunity from
prosecution.
District Attorney Morrison finished
his statement to the jury within u short
time after the noon recess of the court.
The first witness called by the
packers was Attorney L. c. Krauthoff
of New York, formerly general counsel
for Mr.. Armour. Just as he was about
to take the stand the suggestion was
made to District Attorney Morrison by
Attorney John S. Miller, counsel for the
packers. that it might be possible for
both sides to reach an agreement re-
garding the facts in the case and then
submit the case to the court for de-
cision, eliminating the jury. Mr..
Krauthoff was told that he need not
take the stand, and the attorneys en-
tered inc conference upon the facts.
The jury was excused until 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning, pending the out
come of the conference.

SELECTS MAN FOR
HEAD OF SCHOOLS
DAME RUM0R NAMES M0NLUx
FOR SUPERINTENDENT
Election Of Professor Foshsy's AS
sistant Is Practically Assured
at Next Meeting of Board
OF Education

J. r. Moulux, assistant superinten-
dent of city schools, may he selected to
fill the position of superintendent Of
schools recently made vacant by the
resignation of Prof James A. Foshay.
None of the members of the school
board would talk i'm regard to the
rumored appointment, but it was as
serted by several persons who are said
to be in a position to know that the
appointment of Mr.. MonluX is practi-
cally assured.
The vacancy will be filled at the next
regular meeting of the board of educa-
ton, which is to occur a week from
Saturday. Mr.. Monlux said yesterday
that he had no information on the sub
jcct of the appointment. but that he
did not expect the position. But in
view of the valuable services rendered
by Mr.. Monlux, it is believed that the
board of education will make use of
this opportunity to show its apprecia-
ton.
Question of School Sites
Another most important question
which will be decided at the next meet
ing Is that of school sites. There Is
considerably more than three-q quarters
of a million at the disposal of the
board to be used in the purchase of
school sites and the erection of school
buildings.
All desirable lots which are suitable
for the erection of school buildings are
held at such impossibly high prices
that it is feared condemnation pro-
ceedings may be necessary to secure
the land at approximately its true
value.

MyERs-McInTosH LEASE

1t appears probable that now Myers
and Mcintosh have reached the ledge
they will soon be in shipping ore by ex-
tending a drift along it's strike. The
men are leasing on a block of Mohawk
ground and at a depth of 70 feet began
prosecuting for the ledge several weeks
ago. They have been successful in
their efforts and while as yet pay values
do not prevail the indications are
strongly favorable for the location of
shipping grade within a few feet of
drifting. At surface the ledge shows
strong and true and can be traced for
some distance. There is scarcely a
point along it's strike where it does not
prospect well and values well above pay
are frequently found. This leads the
~lessees to believe that with depth the
ledge will make into a uniform shipping
grade. After the lead has been ex-
plored at the 70-foot point the shaft Is
to be continued down to the 1~25-foot
mark when a station is to be cut and q
1rosscut again run out to the ledge.
