BY Associated Press.
BUDAPEST Feb. 19.-The Hun
garian parliament was dissolved this.
morning by the use of force.
The floor and corridors of the buihd-
ing were cleared by the police.
There was no resistance and no dis
order.

declared that the dissolution was un-
constitutional and illegal, and that
they will hold meeting Wednesday
in parliament building unless prevented
by troops, In which case the meeting
will be held elsewhere.
The royal rescript dissolving parlia-
ment was left lying unopened on the
presidents desk and the members left
the house singing the Kossuth hymn.
The floor was almost cleared when t
captain Of Hungarian militia, at the
head of five soldiers with fixed bayonets
and a large number of police who had
previously entered by a side door, en-
tered the house. The captain and SOL
diers mounted the presidents tribune
and the policemen occupied the floor.
The captain then opened and read the
re script amid constant Interruptions
from the galleries and some of the
deputies who returned to the floor. and

PATTERSON ON LOS ANGELES

Elsewhere in this issue of The Herald
is printed an article by Mr.. w. C. Pat
terson, contributed to the financial
number of For California" on 1.-THE
Growth and Development of Los An
geles.'' The article is brief, but full
of most important facts, which every
present or prospective Angeleno would
do we'll to study and learn.
The greatest value in the article
however, rests on it's authoritative
source. w. C. Patterson is known as
one of the city's most conservative
men. He is president of the clearing
house, vice-president of the First Ma
tional bank and identified in a hundred
ways with Los Angeles upbuilding.
For twenty years he has been a factor
in it's financial affairs and it's growth,
and he knows whereof he writes.
Everyone in Los Angeles knows that he
would not append his signature to any,
thing that was not absolutely correct.
Friends of Los Angeles therefore may
feel that in this statement they have
an accurate and conservative estimate
of the city's present status and of its
marvellous progress-such a statement
as they may learn by heart and vouch-
safe for to anyone. 1t is a compila-
ton worthy to be preserved and
printed, to be sent broadcast to in
quirers, and especially to be flung in
the face of the few knockers who try
to decry Los Angeles and it's greatness
for their own selfish ends.

MUSIC AND

Fischer's Theater

Harry James latest musical comedy
sl1it, "A Royal Reception" was pre-
sented last night, and judging from the
applause that greeted the merrymakers
the piece was appreciated. "A Royal
Reception" was evidently invented for
laughing purposes only, as every line
contains a laugh and the dialogue is
passably funny. The play Is well staged
and the costumes are above the aver
age. The vaudeville features for the
week are: Jos. Haggerty, black face
comedian, and new motion pictures.

eadski to Sing Here

OF the few noted singers touring
America this year Madame Gadski
would probably be selected as pre-
eminent. Her marvellous voice and dra-
matte temperament, which combined to
win her fame as the foremost Wagner

the qualities of youth and freshness.
Madame Gadski Is in her prime and
her powers at their point of fullest and
richest development. Beautiful of face,
magnetic in personality and gifted with

school bonds ordered at the election of
one year ago resulted in procuring a

Along all other lines of development
the growth of the city in every respect
has quite kept pace with the move
ment of funds through the banks There
has been no authoritative compilation
of figures on industrial affairs since the
federal census of five years ago. AT
that time the government figures made
the following exhibit:
Number of industrial concerns doing
business in the city, 1415; salaries of
officials, clerks etc, $S40,S55; number
of wage earners, S044; wages paid, $3,-
992, 1913; cost of materials used, including
freight, $40, ,290,36S; cost of power, $751;
292; value of all products, $21 ,297 537.
During the five years the population
has considerably more than doubled,
and there is no room left for doubt
that during the same period the various
industries OF the city have averaged
at least an equal increase. The enter
prises established in connection with
the various railroads have considerably
more than doubled, if we include the
Huntington Syndicate system of urban
and interurban, rapid transit electric
roads, which have all been developed
during the five years. Assuming this
estimate to be mea easurably correct, there
are in the city at the present time over
2SOO industrial establishments employ
ing about $1,000 men. The number of
employees given here include only those
employed in strictly manufacturing
concerns of one kind or another. The
three great transcontinental railroads
centering here and the Huntington

and interurban, are employing at the
present time not less than $4,000 persons

NEGROES ATTITUDE TO CAPITAL.

The Negro is the friend of capi-
talist. The race has always been
with the people of wealth and will
nodoubt always be with them, not
out of sentimentality but because
our salvation and protection are
more safe in their hand, but it is
hard to convince capitalist of this
fact. They either do not under
stand our attitude toward them or
to say the least do not appreciate
it, except when their person or
property is ii danger then they
fall back on the Negro for help.
If capital could be made to see our
loyalty to their interest they would
open more doors for our boys and
girls in the time of peace in order
that the Negro could better pro-
tect them in the time of war The
Negro finds but few friends with
the middle class as they do not
have money to organize and pro-
mote great enterprises or build
factories or construct railroads and
street car system, which are a ben
eft to the public and the poor es-
pecially as these utility corpora
tions furnish him cheap and rapid
transportation to the suberbs where
the poor can buy property reason
able and watch it grow in value
and convenience because of the
advantages of good street car sys-
tenn. The Tramway has done
more for Denver's prosperity than
perhaps any other agency in the
city of Denver and for this ought
to have not only extension of fran
chise but new ones to lay tracks in
neglected portions of the city
where small property holders will
be greatly benefited. Colored vot-
ers have no argument or fight
against the extension of these fran
chises, which means a larger Den
yer. The Negroes only plea is
that the corporations shall remem-
Der that the colored brother is
friend and not foe and that they
ought to be suitably rewarded for
their services and loyalty to their
interests.

NO PLACE FOR PICNICS.

What is life without a picnic?
and what is a picnic without a
good grove? But where will you
find the grove in or about Denver,
that is the question that is troub-
ling the people in Denver just
now. This week the crack picnic
manager of one of our Biggest
excursion lodges" moanfully re-
ported to the fraternity which is
always the First of the season"
that the lodge had no place to hold
a picnic in the future and that one
of its biggest sources of revenue
was now cut off. Rocky Mountain
lake the rendezvous of "hot times
in the cool evenings of the past is
now to be converted into a city
park where there will be no more
quarter of dollar at the gate and
a picnic without pasteboard fixings
is not to be considered for a mom-
ent All this but brings to our
mind the words spoken two or
three years ago by some of our
far seeing men on the duty of pro-
viding suitable place for summer
gatherings for our people.
Messrs Cooper, Henry Pinn and
others tried hard to interest indi-
viduals, clubs and lodges in the
purchase of suitable grounds for
such purposes and had at that time
splendid options on good sites but
the Negroes of the city were hav-
ing so much fun on the "Merry-go-
round" at that time that he did
not have time to consider it-now
the fun is over, the band has stopp-
ed but the place for picnics is
init" Poor Denverites. What
shall we do? No more moonlight
trips to Rocky Mountain Lake.
No more swell gate receipts and
rake offs. What will we do? Buy
some land and have a park of
your own.

LABOR TROUBLES.

AS the first of May approaches
and business changes are adjusting
themselves for the New Year the
regular annual labor troubles arise.
The great National labor question
this year resolves itself into the
coal miners strike which began
last Monday April End. How it is
to terminate none are just able TO
predict but it is hoped arbitration
will get in its perfect work and
that both operators and miners will
agree to a suitable wage scale.
The local strike is inaugerated by
the painters union, resolves itself
on the question of open shop.
While there may be some just rea-
sons for complaint of the action of
the octopus corporations toward
the labor unions. The latter is
not without fault in Withholding
the right to every man without re-
gard to race to enter the open field
of service and work for living.
AS a race the Negro while sym
pathizing with the labor must line
up with the capitalist in this strug-
gle for it is the latter that makes
it possible for him to find employ
ment at any price

Pointed Out Contingency.

Francois. head coachman to James
Hazen Hyde, is of herculean proper
tions, for it is fashionable to have i'm
posing, gigantic men for this office.
Francois, who has worked for W. X.
Vanderbilt and Mrs. o. P. Belmont
and who, by request, led the corona
ton procession of the Russian czar,
was recently the guest of honor at a
dinner of racing men.
The herculean Frenchman told at
this dinner a story about a girl and a
bookmaker.
There was girl" he said, "who
went to the races and was attracted
by the betting.
"She mingled in the crowd about
the bookmakers. The excitement pre-
vailing there communicated itself to
her spirit. She approached book
maker and said
"If l put dollar on horse and it
wins how much do l get?'
:" If the horse starts at 60 to L. the
bookmaker answered, you get SCI. If
it starts at 20 to 1 you get s21. If II
starts at 10 to 1 you get SILL"

But she said, suppose It staftr

SECRETARY TAFT.

On the front page of this paper
will be found extracts of Secretary
of War Tafts excellent address de-
livered to the student body at Tus-
kegee. In this address will be
found sane, logical and prophetic
truth and that optimism that ev-
cry student of economic and politl-
cal conditions must sanction. The
evolution of the Negro as citizen
must proceed along normal and
scientific lines. To vote undevel-
oped Negroes in great multitudes
unrestricted was a menace both to
the state apd the voters themselves;
while a gradual acquisition of po-
litical power accompanied by in
telligence will be blessing. This
doctrine would be benefit to the
cities and local committees as well
as in state and national elections.
Such a vote will ultimately prove
attractive to every political party
and the Negro instead of being
feared by one party and unappre-
ciated by another will be desired
and courted by both. This is the
doctrine the COLORADO STATESMAN
has been endeavoring to set before
its readers in articles, "The A. b.
@. of Politics" Now that an In
dependent and stalwart Republi-
can high up in political circles has
said it let us heed. Secretary
Taft in this message has voiced
sentiments that should be read and
echoed from the house tops until
every Negro voter in America shall
see and feel the dignity of the
franchise and use it as the most
sacred obligation entrusted to his
keeping.
The Southern Demagogue who
profess to have as much fear for
the educated Negro as he does for
the ignorant and vicious will find
little comfort in the fearless words
of Secretary Taft.

Maud Consented,

An absent-minded clergyman tells
how once he was unconsciously re-
sponsible for helping a bashful lover
His mind was filled with a subtle the.
illogical problem when a neighbors
daughter passed in company with a
diffident youth. His thoughts were
interrupted as she called out to him {:
"oh, doctor we are just going for a
ramble. Won't you join us?"
with pleasure. Do you want the
ceremony in a church,"
The bashful lover was suddenly fred
with an enthusiasm that four years of
gnawing at his heartstrings had failed
to arouse, and he fairly shouted:
"Yes, yes, and if Maud consents, the
sooner the better. Philadelphia

WOULD YOU PLEASE HusBAND7
If You Would, Hesitate About Taking
Following Advice.


Young Wife writes: 'T am very
fond of reading advice to newly mar
ried folks. Recently 1 saw a hint that
every husband is gratified if he finds
his slippers ready warmed for him
when he comes home evenings. Please
advise me- as to the proper way to
warm slippers"
Go to the cellar and get a hod of
coal. You should have a slow fire
going in the kitchen range during the
afternoon. Rake the Goals down to
level bed and pour in the hod of coal
and open the drafts. When the stove
pipe shows red to the ceiling and the
top of the range is a cream yellow,
and is so hot that a drop of water
will evaporate when within two inches
of the surface, close the damper and
wait until the range cools down to 365
degrees Fahrenheit. If you have no
thermometer. borrow one from the
neighbor. Qt is a small courtesy, but
one that will be appreciated if you
suggest to your neighbor to bring her
husbands slippers over and warm
them on your range.) Put TIE slip
pers in the oven, close the door and
go through the house, singing merrily
to yourself. From time to time look
at the slippers. turning them occa-
sionally so that the heat may reach
all sides of them. They are well
warmed when the toes begin to curl.
When this occurs, place them on the
back of the range, covering them with
boiler lid. This will retain the heat.
When you hear your husband coming
up the steps, take up the slippers on
toasting fork and carry them to his
den. Some practical housewives gar
nish with parsley, but this is a mat
ter of choice.-Cleveland Leader.
