BLOW WITH CLUB
MAY Be FATAL
Barnman's Skull Fractured During
Alteration Over Horses in Amer
ican Transfer Stables-As-
saiIant Is Arrested

Peter Green barnman for the Ameri-
can Transfer company, was struck Oh
the head with a heavy stick by James
NJ. Breen during a fight yesterday
morning and was seriously and perhaps
fatally injured.
Green's skull was fractured. He was
unconscious when taken to the receiv-
ing hospital, and in spite of the physi-
clans efforts continued to sink. Breen
was arrested and will be held at the
police station pending the outcome OF
Green's injuries.
According to Breen's story, he is q
driver for the American Transfer con-
pany. He went to the stables at Sew
enth and Central avenues early yester-
day morning for his team. He states
that the team which was given him
was in such condition that he could moi
use it, and demanded a new one. He
at last hitched his own horses and
drove from the stables.
II had hardly driven by the door," he
said, when Green appeared in the road
with number of rocks in his hands
He began to throw them at me, an(
wishing to protect myself, / picked uI
a heavy stick from the wagon and rar
toward him. AS 1 did so he continued
to throw the rocks, and at last
struck at his arm with the stick. HI
lodged at that moment and the blow
landed on his head. L was angry, anC
yet 1 did not mean to strike him hare
or to injure him."

FAMOUS PIANIST
BRINGS HEAVY RAIN
FIRST VISIT TO THE CITY IN
FOUR YEARS
ossip oabrlowitsch Is Amazed at the
Great Growth of Los Angeles.
Says Europe Knows Us as Mu-
sical Center

Picture to yourself a young man of
medium height, 28 or 20 years Of age,
an intelligent face, surmounted by
broad forehead, crowned with a bushy
growth of black curly hair, bright
eve. a determined expression, and you
have Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the talented
young pianist who has gained an en-
viable reputation I'm both Europe and
America. Gabrilowitsch is stopping
at the Lankershim hotel and retains
a mental photograph of Los Angeles
as he saw 1t four years ago, his first
visit to this city, when he played TO
a large audience in the old Los An
geles theater.
Since that time Gabrilowitsch has
risen to n position among the great
pianists of the present day. For three
years he has divided his time between
the music centers of Europe and he
comes to America once more after
series of ovations.
Gabrilowitsch is at a loss 10 uhder-
stand the growth of this city since
he was here four years ago. Said he;
"I am so astonished at your big
buildings, your electric car lines and
the great number of people on your
streets. 1t is so different from the
last time l was here; 1t gives your
is one question l should like to ask:
Why do you let 1t rain when pianist
comes here? other musicians always
enjoy good weather, while we are
doomed to rain, muddy streets ana
small houses / am told / should be
we'll pleased, as the greater the pianist
the longer and heavier the rain, and
as l brought this shower with me
from the north last Sunday and II Is
making such AN extensive stay 1 sup
pose / should consider myself as one
of the great ones.
Los Angeles i'm Europe is consid-

MUSIC AND DRAMA
Wilczek Concert Is Fine

Scarcely hundred and fifty enthusi-
| asts gathered at Simpson auditorium
last night to attend the first of the
Philharmonic concerts, violin recital
by Franz Wilczek. The fifteen hundred
others who ought to have been there
received ample punishment by missing
one of the best musical feasts offered
the Los Angeles public for a long
time.
Realizing that every one in the audi
ence had come for love of the violin,
the young master eXerted every ef-
fort and did miracles with his instru-
ment. Clear and true as the voice of
mocking birl, his high notes thrilled
with a wonderful power. From the
strongest fortissimo, he descended to
pianissimo that died away as gently
as the murmuring of the summer
wind. The high notes sang, while
lower down the scale they seemed to
speak to the audience with plaintive
tone.
To say that any one number surpassed
another would be doing an injustice to
the musician. Each one surpassed the
rest, but one of the most effective was
a Bruch "RomanZa." In the midst of
the number the lights began to fade.
In short time, except for their regu-
lar positions, they appeared like dis
tant stars, and all the time, in almost
total blackness, the young master
played on, the romantic power of the
dark making the music doubly effec-
tive.
When the last number had been
played and the musician had respond
ed with a final encore-with which he
was very generous throughout the
| evening-the audience refused to go
home, and for almost five minutes kept
up rounds of applause till he returned
and played again.
Mrs. NJ. Hennion Robinson at the
piano was scarcely less effective.
Throughout the evening she built a
background on the piano, against
which the graceful music of the violin
showed to the best advantage At no
time did the piano intrude on the vio-
lin, but when she appeared in a valse
caprice, the reception with which she
met showed that the audience appre-
ciated her work. Gracefully she re-
sponded to the applause with an en-
core.
What the attendance lacked in num-
bers was made up in enthusiasm, Mr..
Wilczek declaring after the concert,
1T was very, very warm RECEIPT ion,
but rather damp one"
If the audience that didn't come had
known what was in store for the faith
full there is no doubt that the house
would have been crowded, In spite of
the oceans through which enthusiasts
had TO swim.

necessary to make some provision to
cover at least a portion Of the interest
on the money to be invested. He said

A number of legislators took part
in the discussion and it was evident
that the plan Of selling the site for

five or ten acres I'm one Of the suburbs
would be heartily favored.
Appeal for an Armory
r. w. Gillum asked for the estab-
lishment OF a troop of cavalry at Long
Beach and Brig. Gen. Robert Wankow- e.
ski made an appeal for an appropria-
tion of 100000 for the purchase of a
site and the erection of an armory
He said the state does not now own
an armory and that one should he
built i'm San Francisco and another in
Los Angeles. He said that the lease
on the present quarters at Eighth and
Spring streets would expire in one
year and that the militiamen would
then be without a home, as II will he

Gen. r.. c. Prescott followed with
a vigorous speech urging the proper
recognition of citizen soldiers He
said that the Spanish war came al
most without warning and that no one
could tell what would be the outcome
of the trouble with Japan.
A pressing invitation was received
to visit the institution at Patton, but
on roll call only Senators Savage
of San Pedro, Bell Of Pasadena and
Willis of Redlands and Assembyman
Cogswell of FL Monte and Lemon of

SHOW ELECTRICITY ECONOMY
Table of Cost of Cooking and Heating
by Lightning Proves Expense
Small

Housewives of Los Angeles are great
ly interested in the announcement that
electricity can be used for cooking pur-
poses as we'll as for lighting, and many
inquiries have been made asking a
comparison between the cost of cleo
tricity and gas for household purposes.
For purposes other than lighting the
companies have made a rate OF cents
per kilowatt hour in the city. Outside
the city a rate of cents prevails in
most places The manufacturers of de-
vices to be used for cooking and heat
ing state that the rate is not high, as
the devices are used for but compara-
lively short space of time. They
emphasize their statements with the
following table, which shows the aver

body.
NJ. e. Dillingham; of San Gabriel will
be the show superintendent and will
have charge of all exhibits. The pens
are already constructed, ready to put
up at days notice, and the associa-

pose.
The main feature of the show will be

of ten pullets. Minorcas, Orpingtons,
White Wyandottes, White Plymouth
Rocks, American Asiatic, Mediterran-

admirers of the little birds to see their
favorites. Ducks geese, turkeys and
capons will also be given an opportun-

entrance fee of so cents will be charged
for single birds, and 81 for an exhibi-

fee of 20 cents. A cock is defined as
male bird over year old, while a
cockerel must come under that age
limit The same distinction is applied
to hens and pullets.
The poultry show to be held next
month is purely for love of the game.
The officials declare that members of
the association will lose money on the
show, but for the added stimulus it
gives the poultry business they are
willing to push it to a successful COM
