Vacation Recreation Places Solve the
Problem of Amusing Young.
sters and Keeping Them
of the Streets

The three new school grounds located
on CASTELAR,, New Macy and Utah
Streets solved the problem of amuse-
ment for the Fourth for a great many
children. All day the three Fairgrounds
were thronged with children who shot
off firecrackers and banged torpedoes
on the sidewalks, all the time whooping
with joy.
The least possible amount of restraint
was put upon the children and the OBJ
ject in all of the vacation Fairgrounds
was to let the little folk have all the
fun they could possible The swings and
all the other apparatus were used to
their full capacity yesterday and the
youngsters awaited their turns to ride
most patiently.
Most of the children who went to
the vacation Fairgrounds early learned
the lesson of patience, for they came
from families with whom the most diff
ficult thing in life is to make both ends
meet.
Fairgrounds Are Invaluable
For children from these families the
Fairgrounds furnish a medium OF
amusement that is invaluable. Disci-
pline is maintained in the Fairgrounds
but 1t is never rigorous. Children who
would otherwise be thrown upon the
streets If they wished to play have IL
the vacation Fairgrounds an idea

At the New Macy street school H. S
Holmes formerly of the University OF
Southern California, has charge of the
amusements, while at the CASTELAR,
street school j. c. Reinhard is in
charge. At the Utah street school O.
c. Best has charge.
For the benefit of working boys the
Fairgrounds are kept open until 7:3O
p. m. In the morning the grounds open
at o'clock.
The commission which has been re-
sponsible for the Fairgrounds is COM
posed of the following: Mrs. Willough-

WILL BURY JOHN oRDOQUI
Body of Lad Drowned at Redondo Sew
eraI Days Ago Is Re.

John, the SiXteen-year-old son of M.
Ordoqui proprietor of the Pyrenees
cafe, will be buried today from the
Church of Our Lady of Angels. The
funeral services will be held at 10
O'Clock in the morning.
John Ordoqui, who was a student in
the Temple street school, was drowned
at Redondo beach, June II. The body
was not recovered until Tuesday after
noon. Three sailors on a lumber
schooner lying in at Redondo, saw the
body floating on the water and recov-
cred it with the aid of nets.
While SHINING along the pier at Re-
dondo, the young man was suddenly
taken with cramps, it is thought. The
ocean was so rough and the undertow
so strong, the young man had not
strength enough to swim to shore.
Two thousand persons saw the boy
struggling with the waves. One man
started out to save the boy, but the
undertow caught him also. He was
rescued only after great efforts on the
part of some of the people on the beach,
who threw him ropes and hauled him
to shore.
the ocean. The tide carried his lifeless
body under the pier and there it re-
mained until Tuesday, when 1t was
seen and recovered by the sailors on
the lumber schooner
Mr. Ordoqui offered a reward for the
recovery of his sons body. This re-
ward was yesterday paid to the three
sailors who recovered the body.

sUsTAINs THE RECALL LAW
Judge Trask Strongly censures San
Diego counoIlmen for Delay
Ina Special Election

In an opinion handed down late Tues
day by Judge y. X. Trask of the Los
Angeles superior courts, the action of
the votors of San Diego in recalling
Councilman ]. N. Reynolds of that
city was sustained and the council was
strongly censured for its action in re-
fusing for a time to call a special cleo
tion to elect new member to their
body.
The local Judge was called to San
Diego several days ago to hear the
testimony in the case which has been
causing considerable trouble in the
little southern city.
When Councilman Davenport was re-
called I'm Los Angeles about two years
ago the prestige for such action was
claimed and granted to Los Angeles.
Some weeks ago, when Councilman
Reynolds was recalled for alleged
dereliction of duty i'm office, the MEM
bers of the city council took exception
to such action and were undecided
about calling an election to fill the
place.
The argument was taken before the
superior courts and Judge Trask of Los
Angeles presided and late Tuesday
evening at San Diego a decision was
handed down wherein the action of re-
call was sustained and the council CEN
sured for having presumed to take
the law In its own hands.

ANGELENOS MUST FACE
THE COURTS IN OREGON
JUDGE WELLBoRN WILL ORDER
REMOVAL
Eight Business Men of Los Angeles
Will Be Forced to Answer Charges
of Completely in Land Frauds in
Northern State

The Los Angeles business men, Lee
f. Myers, Richard Hynes, r. w. Ken
ney, Warren Gillelen, Will D. Gould, G
L. Stearns, D. M. Goodwin and A. w
Hedderly, who were indicted by an Ore
gon grand jury for conspiring to obtain
government land fraudulently, were de-
cided against in their contention that
they could not be legally taken north tc
stand trial.
Judge Wellborn of the United States
district court decided that he would
grant the governments request that the
men be taken north and the order for
their removal will be made Monday.
The case has been one of the most bit
terly fought that has ever been tried
in the local courts. Ten of the ablest
attorneys in Southern California repre-
sented the defendants, but their argu-
ments were to no effect.
Commissioner Van Dyke was the first
to pass upon the case. He heard the
arguments and decided to bind the de-
PENDANTS over to the United States dis
trict court.
Judge Welborn made the decision
that will send the men north to stand
trial.

THIEVES ARE RlFLING
LOCKERS OF FIREMEk
DETECTIVES WILL TRY TO CAP.
TURE MIScREANTs
Money, Clothing and Trinkets Being
Taken Constantly by Persons Who
Keep Close Tab on All Responses
to Alarms

In an attempt to apprehend a thief
who for the past two weeks has been
looting the lockers of the firemen at
the Hill street station local detectives
will today be asked to take the case
in hand and use every means to stop
the mysterious disappearance of val
liable articles.
For more than two weeks the fire.
men have been missing money and
clothing from their lockers. Occasion
ally some article of value left in the
exercise room as the firemen dashed
hurriedly away to a fire would disap-
pear.
Recently more serious complaints
have been made. Monday night when
the firemen returned from a confagra-
ton they found their lockers broken
open and the contents rified.
r. G. Hammel lost $13.65, which he
had left in his trousers pocket. c. e
Houston lost SO and other members
of the company suffered losses In cloth
ing and trinkets.
In the confusion of the alarm or
Monday night it is thought the thief
sneaked into the building and up to
the property room. 1t took but a mo-
ment to wrench off the locks and rifle
the clothing.
When the firemen returned several
hours later their valuables had disap-
peared, and now the police force will
be called in to aid in the detection OF
the thief

ADDRESSES NEGROES ON
RACIAL DEVELOPMENT
PROF. D. LANGsToN SPEAKS TO
MORE THAN A THOUSAND
St. Louis Educator Says All Peoples
Must Overcome CIR, at obstacIe les
and That Blacks Must Become Ed
ucated to Gain Honorable Place

Prof. D. Langston, principal of
Dumas school, st. Louis, made an ad-
dress at the Independence day celebra-
tion on Furlough tract yesterday.
More than one thousand negroes were
present, representing the best element
of the race in Los Angeles. The ad-
dress was on "Phases of Race Devel-
opment."
Prof. Langston spoke of the beauty
and promise of the locality and the
advantages of citizenship enjoyed by
all here and the splendid progress of
the twentieth century negro. He said
in part:
What are we doing to solve the
vexatious negro problem? Let us all
be men, let us acknowledge the pos
session of the best opportunities.
EVERY race has its numerous ene-
mics and hindrances. The Irish race
is ridlculed and laughed at, the Jew
Is oppressed and murdered, the italian
and other races must overcome great
obstacles. So must the negro.
I'VE will shine the brighter and
climb the higher because of the diff
culties we overcome. Let us take ad-
vantage of the chances given us to
educate our children, sending them TO
the best possible school every day.
From the lessons I'm books he can
better undertake and master the les
sons In life. When the negro has mas
tered the lessons of life the negro
problem Will vanish before the sun
light of Intelligence and advancement.
"The picture of this splendid audi
ence could only be improved by hav-
ing our multitude of white friends in
spect II and note the possibilities of
our growth by what we have already
DONE"

POWDER BAG EXPLODES
AND BURNS TWO YOUTHS
Emerson conders Throws a Lighted
Dynamite Firecracker--His Shirt
Catches Fire and Serious Injuries
ResuIt-Ray kemper Blistered

A carelessly thrown firecracker that
fell into a bag of loose powder was
responsible yesterday for serious burns
to Emerson Conders and Ray Kemper.
Conders and Kemper were celebrating
the Fourth in front of the Conders
home, 1910 Cotton street, when Conders
lighted dynamite firecracker and as
the fuse spluttered threw 1t from him.
An open bag of powder received the
burning cracker and in an instant
flashed up and set fire to Conders'
shirt.
Kemper hastened to the assistance
of his friend and succeeded in ex-
tingulshing the flames, but not until
the upper part of Conders body was
burned to a blister. Kemper received
several severe burns ON the hands and
face.
Conders is 2S years old and Kemper
few years his junior. The wounds
of neither of the young men are con-
sidered dangerous but Conders will
probably wear the scars for the rest Of
his life.

NATION IS IN NEED
OF MORE RELIGION
President Roosevelt makes an address
at Oyster Bay on the Necessity Of
Religion and Clean Living.

Oyster Bay.--In an address at the
Episcopal church here on Saturday
President Roosevelt talked of the ne
cessity Of religion and clean living for
the welfare OF the nation.
II cannot understand any American
citizen" he said. who has the faintest
feeling of patriotism and devotion to
his country, failing TO appreciate the
absolute essential need Of religion in
its broadcast sense, to the welfare of
this country.
IF It were not for the fact that in
our villages and towns as they have
grown up. the churches have grown
mp In them, and in the churches men
whose work is not for the things Of
the body. but for the welfare Of the
soul, It would not be the nation that
II Is, because the nation would not be
= At abode for civilized man"
He said that our material founda-
tion OF wealth was but base for the
spiritual growth Of the nation, ana
while the material ought not to be
disregarded. It's real object ought not
to be lost sight OF. The mission OF
the church was not to work in the in
terests OF one sect, but for humanity
as q whole.
II wish to emphasize the vital i'm
portance to this nation of our people
e.. hok ri tfan
ity manifests itself in the conduct of
Its most humble professor"
Here the president read severa,
verses from the Bible to point out that
not the hearers. but the doors OF tho
word. we're the true followers OF
Christ. r
On the subject Of riches the presi-
dent said:
There is nothing abhor more
than the telling of an untruth, wheth
er unconventional untruth or not. and
I would on no occasion be understood
~ affecting to deprecate material well
being. To tell men to disregard riches
entirely is to preach to them . doc
trine which II Is impossible for them
to live up to. but which the preacher
knows perfectly well they will not
try to live up to. But put riches below
the things of the soul. Give to the
body what the body Is entitled TO- The
multi.millionaire Is not harm, but q
good, to the community II he appreci.
ates that he is only a trustee for tho
cause Of goodness"
The president emphasized the ne
cessity OF every man being thorough
iy self.supporting as basis for spir
itual life. He concluded that the SEN
timent of the only life really worth
living was one that made others bet
ter because Il had been lived.

rigation congress closed it, sessions
Thursday evening, after voting to hold
the next congress at Sacramento, Cal,
and electing as president of the NJ

to the platform and expressed his APP
probation OF the high honor accorded
him by the representatives Of thirty
states OF the Union, he was given
tremendous ovation.
