PAcIFlc'S PRIDE IS THE NEW
CLUB HOUSE
woRKMEN ARE MAKING RAPIr
PROGRESS WITH BUILDING
Baths and HandbaII Are Two Notable
Features In the Project, Which
Has the Liberal Support Of 5usi-
ness Men

The work on the new Los Angeles
Athletic club house is nearing compile
tion and the promises of the directors
are rapidly being fulfilled
Several months ago these directors
promised the public of Los Angeles one
of the best equipped and most up-to-
date athletic establishments on the Pa
cific coast, and today the visitors to
their quarters at 534h South Spring
street can behold great transforma-
tion and renovation of the building
which was once before used for athletic
ventures.
The lounging room and office which
are combined is completed and hand
some mission style furniture was being
installed yesterday. The room which
is large and commodious is artistically
finished in dark oak and green burlap.
with a rich tan ceiling, which forms
most pleasing color scheme.
The billiard room is fast nearing COM
pletion The skilled workmen and
artisans have instructions to make it
equal the finest resort of it's kind in
Los Angeles.
The bath chief, Dick Adamson. who
has been overlooking the installation
of the baths in person expects them 10
be ready for use in the course of sew
eral weeks and declares they will rank
with the best in the state.
There will be arranged in the locker
room $50 large, airy lockers which will
comfortably accommodate the large
membership which is greatly increas
ing every day
A main feature of the enterprise are
the handball courts which will have
sides of heavy plate glass and an over
hanging balcony for spectators The
courts are renewing an old interest in
the game, as many challenges have been
issued and a tournament has already
been talked of.
Archie Way challenged Frank Car
butt to play a series of games for the
old mans championship, but Garbutt
declined stating that he does not carry
weight for age and at present has no
intentions of doing so.
The membership rolls include the
names of many well known business
men who are taking a great deal of
interest in the venture. Among the
most prominent of these are Frank D.

Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald.
CONNELSVILLE, Pa, Jan. 2S.-The
problem of denominational union has
received the new salutation here, where.
by a church of one denomination has
literally sold out to another body, soul
and theological breeches, to paraphrase
trifle.
The party of the first part in this
unique ecclesiastical deal is Mount
Calvary church of the United Evan
gelist denomination, which has a house
of worship at Champion, near here.
The party of the second part is the
United Brethren church at Normal
Vile.
The dicker was arranged between
Pastor G. w. Ringer of the Evangelical
church and Pastor E. u. DehaVen of
the United Brethren.
BY it's terms the evangelicals, in con-
sideration of $500 cash in hand, sold
to the United Brethren their church
structure, their congregation and their
pastor. For good measure they even
threw in their creed and agreed to sub
sist on the same theological food as
the United Brethren. The congrega-
tion of Mount Calvary church was a
large one, but 1t was unanimous in its
desire to sell out
The NormalVille church is a little
embarrassed at acquiring an extra
preacher, but IL ii cannot dispose of
him to advantage, he would be utilized
as an assistant pastor, to work especial
ly among the members Of his old flock.

AND HEADS HIS CLASS
No Wonder; Boy Gets Into Navy by
Aid of Machine to Increase
Height
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ANNAPOLIS. Md, Jan. 2S.-Midship-
man Luther Welsh, the youth from
Kansas City, Mo-, who attained noter-
Iety from the fact that he stretched
himself two inches to become eligible
to pass the physical examination for
entrance. and who is said to be one Of
the brightest of the fourth class, is
expected to lead his fellows at the COM
ing semi-annual examinations. or in
any event, his standing will be close
to the top. The class contains 247
members.
Mr.. Welsh attended the Kansas City
high school before he came to Annap-
oils. When he received his appoint
ment as a cadet he was two inches
below the required height to pass the
examination. He placed himself in the
hands of a professor of Kansas City,
who devised a machine to increase the
boys stature. Operations were success
full and they were continued after he
came here. When he was examined
by the medical board he was found to
be just five feet two inches, the neces-
sary height. In addition to being the
smallest and one of the brightest in his
class, Welsh is also the youngest
''plebe." He was just 16 when he en-
tered the academy in July of last year.

KOREAN POLITICS IN
MUDDLED CONDITION
JAPANESE NOW AT A LOSS HOW
TO PROCEED
Cabinet Ministers Afraid to Leave
Their Houses and Transact Busi-
ness by TeIephone--Emperor De-
cIInes to See Any One
BY Associated Press.

by ASbOCldleu 9TeSS.
SEOUL, Korea, Jan. 2S.-The politi-
cal situation here has been one of ex-
treme interest. 1t seems to be undoubt-
edly true that the Japanese have been
able to put through their program with
greater celebrity than they had expected
and once their protectorate has been
established they are rather at a loss
how to proceed. There is really no
head to anything. The cabinet minis
ters are afraid to leave their houses
and they do business when necessary
by telephone. The emperor refuses to
see any one and Mr.. Morgan, the
American minister, left without a fare
we'll audience because his majesty
wished to avoid seeing the Japanese
minister, as he would have had to do
IN case he had received the American
representative.
By their treaty the Japanese have
created a protectorate and provided
that there shall be a resident general
who shall outrank every one and re-
place the legation and the minister
and that he shall attend to all diplo-
matte affairs. These provisions would
seem to necessitate the abolition OF the
foreign office, as it has already entailed
the withdraw of several of the for
eign ministers. Mr.. Hayashi is sup
though still holding his position as
minister, as no notification has been
sent to the foreign legations of the
change in his satus. While nominally
supreme, he is outranked by the COM
mander in chief, General Hasagawa,
and while invested by the treaty with
the control of diplomatic affairs he
still permits the foreign office, now
under the direction of Mr.. Stevens-for
no Korean will accept the portfolio
of minister for foreign affairs. His
majesty still fails to grasp the situa-
ton and continues to seek the advice
of any one who will tender it.
The problem which the apanese have
in working out the establishment of a
protectorate over Korea in all it's de-
tails. is difficult one The feeling
between. the two races and the keen
competition between the lower orders
of the two peoples complicate matters
and increases the difficulties of the al
ready delicate situation, for it must be
solved not only from the standpoint
of the Japanese, but of the Korean
people as well.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 2S.-A
light fingured thief jimrnied his way
into the elephant house of the Barnum
d Bailey circus winter quarters this
morning and extracted an elephant
'Chor! Chor" screeched the Indian
Mahouts. "Chor" means thief"
Twenty-eight elephants squealed.
trumpeted, roared, ratified their chains
and thrashed about in rage. 1t was
they who witnessed the mastodonic
larceny. The combined din of the ma
houts and the elephants aroused George
Conklin, chief animal man, and he
rushed to the elephant house in his
Pajamas.
Someone has swiped Ko Ko,'' yelled
mahout in perfect English.
1t was true. Ko Ko-"baby'' in So
mali-was gone. 10 To weighed triflo
over three tons. He is bad elephant,
in spite of the fact that he is a baby,
and when he nearly killed several peo-
pie a year ago Mr.. Bailey ordered that
he. be executed. So the kidnapping of
Ko Ko was amazing, and Conklin, ex-
pecting to get word any moment that
a mad elephant was loose in the streets
of the city, sent the alarm through the
quarters, and in five minutes a caval-
cade of horsemen was started out after
the thief with an elephant on his
hands.
The police sent out a general alarm
to arrest for grand larceny a man with
an elephant. Conklin ran to a tele-
phone and began calling up persons on
the outskirts of the town.
Sure, we saw man with an ele-
phant go by here" said one voice.
Conklin and his men started on the
trail. Half way to Stratford they saw
something like a load of had ahead of
them. That was Ko Ko.
"Come Ko Ko. come Ko Ko," Conk-
lin pleaded. Ko Ko knew Conklin's
voice and stopped. A man at the ele-
plants head prodded with pitch-fork
but Ko Ko wouldn't bulge. He knew
that sugar and peanuts came with the
voice. The cavalcade surrounded the
man and the elephant. The man was
recognized as Joseph Harvey elephant
keeper, whom Conklin had discharged
several days ago. Ko Ko knew him
and that was the only reason he was
alive. Conklin might have taken Har-
vey back to town, but let him go.
'Most amazing theft I ever heard
Of" said Conklin. "He evidently meant
to sell Ko Ko to another show. He
thinks we owe him money and that
he would take it out in Ko Ko."

long green sufficient in size to choke

IL is rumored that two stables will
shortly ship from Ascot to Emeryville,
including one of the biggest strings
now quartered at the county track. The
little squabbles between owners has
stirred up strife Of sufficient proper
tions to cause dissatisfaction and the
exodus is the result.
The showing by two-year-olds this
year has been better than in any pre-
vious season at Ascot. In Ray Bgan,
Sweet Kitty, Sylvan Dixon, Silver
Stocking and several others the Ascot
contingent has shown possibilities OF
future greats ana their careers hence
forth will be watched with interest.
Sea Sick is now stabbed with AL
Goodin's horses and will i'm future be
run as his entry. Goodin purchased the
gray miniature racer at private sale
from G.. A. Ross & Co. He also bought
Pearl Waters. 1t is believed that
Goodin is getting ready to break UP a
few bush meetings and both these pur-
chases are about the tickets for the
haymakers.
The Ascot handicap is the next stake
fixture at Ascot and will be run Satur-
day. The distance is one mile and a
quarter. Sixty-three nominations have
been made and the jockey club will add
$2500. This will make this take worth
about $3650 gross. The winner will re-
ceive all of this sum less $500, the Sec
ond horse getting $500 and the third
horse getting $500. This will call out
the best handicap horses at Ascot and
1t is probable that Dubin and DIR. Leggo
will be sent down from Bmeryville to
try for this rich prize. Weights are
due today.
Fred Whitlock, who has been train
ing for Barney Schneider for many
years and is regarded as one OF the
best in the business, prepped Dewey
for his win Saturday and had the sat
isfaction of seeing the Schreiber horse
come home all alone and unextended at
the price of 20 to l. Whitlock has a
hobby, like all good trainers, and his
hobby is jumping horses. 1t was he
who prepped Adams and Killdoe, both
of which have won at Ascot, the lat
ter turning the trick in track record
time on his first out. There are few
trainers on the American turf who are
more competent or more popular than
Fred Whitlock.
