SAN FRANCISCO, April 2s.-The
cooking outfit sent up here by the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce relief
committee, under the management of
d. j. Desmond. is doing remarkable
work. 1t is feeding about $4,000 people
per day with hot meals, being the only
organization that is attempting any
thing in this line, and it is certainly ap-
preciated by the citizens of San Fran
cisco.
At a general committee meeting in
the mayors office. attended by the
most prominent men of the city, vote
of thanks was extended to the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce relief
committee, on a motion by Mayor
Schmitz. being carried unanimously by
a standing vote.
The success of the organization is due
to the good work of D. ]. Desmond and
his lieutenants, Messrs. F. T. Matti-
moe. John Lewellyn, Sherman Pease,
r. c. Moore, G. NJ. Boyd, p. S. Baker,

WHO PERFORMED 1T

Andrew G. Park one of the members
of the Oakland relief committee, came
into Los Angeles on the Owl. Mr.. Park
has been intimately associated in the
relief work with B. Fay Mills and Rev.
e. E. Baker, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church of Oakland, and he
says the relief work there has been
most Systematically handled. The work,
he says, of B. Fay Mills has been one
of the things which can never be ac-
credited with enough praise.
Mr.. Park is a writer of some note
and is preparing magazine articles
dealing particularly with the relief
work and it's management in Oakland.
Before leaving the city Mr.. Park will
lecture on THE Relief of San Fran
CISCO"
Los Angeles" he says, Stands, as
she ought to, ahead of any city of the
United States in the promptness and
character of the relief work which she
sent to the refugees in Oakland"

Seven thousand children singing
hymns of praise, with floats and brass
bands, marked one of the largest
parades ever given in Los Angeles by
religious organization. The grand
parade which was to have closed the
Sunday School Spring Festival of Song
was held yesterday afternoon despite
the fact that the concert which was
to have been given Friday evening
was postponed until Tuesday evening
on account of the rain.
The children formed on Seventh
street, between Hope and Flower, in
an orderly and rapid manner. Rev. A.
b. Prichard. pastor of the Central
Presbyterian church, acted as chief
marshal.
Fifty-nine Sunday schools, represent
ing the Evangelical Protestant churches
of the city, took part in the parade
Many floats added picturesque beauty,
the younger children being taken in
these. while the older pupils and the
Sunday school workers marched.
The line of march was down Seventh
street to Broadway. to Ninth, to Hill,
to Pico and thence to Fiesta park,
where short concert was held 1t Is
estimated that 10000 people were as
sembled in the large tent Tor the eXer-
ciseS.
Remember Musical Leader
Just as the head of the parade was
entering the grounds the last division
was leaving the starting point, the pro-
cession extending fourteen blocks
When the children entered the sky was
overcast and it was feared that the
concert would have to be abandoned,
but the sun soon shone forth and the
original program was carried out. Inc
Sunshine" chorus occupied one SIDE OF
the tent, while the adult chorus occu-
pied the other Grant ColfaX Tullar,
who has had charge of the festival, led
the music and was presented with
floral tokens.
One of the largest schools represent
ed was that of the First Methodist
church, every class of the large schooi
being represented. Six hundred and
thirty-nine children from this school
entered the parade, headed by Rev.
Robert Mcintyre, the pastor, and DIR.

Journeys to England when his fellow
countrymen make their annual trips
abroad.
For many years past these men have
caused the steamship companies the
greatest annoyance. They succeed by
their polished manners in ingratiating
themselves with millionaires for the
purpose of fleeing them. The usual
method has been to introduce trick
cards into games aboard ships, ana the
high playing that taks place generally
results IN the loss of thousands of dol
lars to the victim.
Warnings have been given to the
passengers to avoid strangers who,
with plausible tales of badly wanting
something to do, suggest cards. but
this has always had to be done in u
most cautious manner, as the American
millionaire on holiday trip is inclined
to resent any suggestion that he is not
capable of managing his own affairs.
In one case last year no less than
$50. 900 was lost by a passenger on the
trip from New York to Liverpool. 1t
is estimated that 400 of Americas fin
est confidence tricksters, card sharp
ers, forgers and blackmailers come
over during the season and when in
England, pursue their nefarious
schemes with the greatest audacity.
An entire reorganization of the sys-
tenn of watching these men is now to
take place. Many trained detectives
will travel to and from America; shad-
owing all the well known characters,
whom they will hand over to Scotland
Yard on arrival in this country. The
importance of the scheme can be easily
realized when it is pointed out that at
least 100000 wealthy Americans yearly
visit England Twenty-Five thousand
Brjtishers it is estimated, sail for the
United States annually. On inquiry at
the offices of the companies it was as
certained that the bookings this year
have been enormous, and there is hard

BRUSSELS, Aug. 23.-The first ship
ment of gold from a mine in the Congo
state has reached Belgium. 1t is not
very large, but it represents the COM
mencement of an enterprise that may
attain considerable dimensions.
In 1902 two Australian prospectors,
Messrs. Hannah and OBrien, were
sent out by the Congo government to
study the mineral resources of this
part Of it's territory, and after seven
months research they fixed on a point
near Kilo, on the Upper Ituri. west of
Lake Albert, where they discovered
sufficient alluvial gold to justify ex-
penditure on exploitation. At the end
of 1904, work was first taken in hand,
and Mr.. O'Brien took charge of the
mining operations in March, 1905.
The output for some months past has
averaged 600 Cz. per month, but owing
to the dense forest and thick under
growth it has not yet been possible to
ascertain the extent of the gold field.
New machinery is now on it's way to
Kilo, proceeding to it's destination by
the British railway in Uganda.
