LONG BEACH, July 25.-The new
drinking fountain on the pier recently
built by Benjamin Walton of this city
and presented to the w. G. T. u. was
formally given to the city this after
noon.
The ceremonies were impressive, in
Guiding, besides music and addresses
the presentation to Mr.. Walton of
life membership in the organization OF
temperance workers.
Mrs. Emma Palmer, president of the
local union, made the first address,
presenting the fountain to the CITY,
Mayor f. II. Downs accepted the gift
on behalf of the city in well chosen
words. He said that the fountain
would not only serve to cuench the
thirst of many thousands of people but
that it also stood as monument to the
highest principles. 1t is also, he said,
a fitting expression of the public senti-
ment of Long Beach as regards the
saloon question.
Pins White Ribbon
Mrs. Hester T. Griffith of Los An
geles. county president of the w. c. L.
u, then said few words, pinned upon
Mr.. Walton the white ribbon, the en-
blem of purity, sympathy and love"
and presented him with the life mem
bership certificate.
Mr.. Walton, who is an elderly man OF
kindly appearance, responded in few
words, concluding with the expression
of the hope that "the w. G. L. U. would
live to see the day when the saloon
sign would .e found only in the
museums of perditon, where 1T would
repose as relic of a world of sin.'
Mrs Gabrielle T. Stickney, state
president, made the closing address,
after which the Long Beach Ladies
quartet lined up along the fountain
and sang THE Old Oaken Bucket"
Rev. Andrew Mitchell, pastor Of the
Friends church, gave a strong address
in the Christian church last night be-
fore the state institute which is now in
session on the liquor question.
Mrs. Lucy Blanchard, president Of the
Los Angeles union, addressed the insti-
tute this morning on the subject Of
Legislation" She urged that not only
the saloon but the slot machine and the
penny picture machine should be hast
iIy legislated out of business. She en-
phasized the evils to children which she
thinks result from the various vulgar
pictures which they find in the penny
machines and elsewhere. In the dis
cussion which followed her address dis
approval was also expressed OF un-
slightly and vulgar billboard displays.

SEEK TO ANNUL
OPERA HOUSE LEASE
Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, July 25-Through
their attorneys, w. c. Wyatt and John
A Mason, lessees of the Pier avenue
opera house, have served notice on c.
N. Brundage, owner of the building,
repudiating their contract on the
ground that the structure does not con-
form with the specifications submitted
before its construction.
The opera house is said to have
proved a losing proposition in more
ways than one, and locally it is believed
that the anxiety Of Messrs. Wyatt and
Mason to have the letse annulled Is be-
cause OF the poor prospect Of ever
making the house popular.
