According to r. J. Zeehandelaar, sec
retary of the Fiesta committee and also

Fifth Avenues Summer ASPECT
There is not a single street in Gotham
that unbends so much on a suItry night
as does that portion of Fifth avenue
lying between Forty second street and
Central park The atmosphere of coun-
try or at least suburban ease Is con-
tributed by the comparatively large
number OF bareheaded women In white
frockS one sees in the aVenue by the
loungtng attitude of the young men i'm
the open hacks and more particularly
by the comparatively few men in even
ing dress one sees through the windows
of the smart restaurants. Every one
who walks drives or uses the avenue
lounges along I'm fashion more often to
be seen in village street than on the
most famous thoroughfare I'm America
and even the soft briliancy that
streams from the curtalned windows
and the open doors of the all-night bank
does not disturb the repose of the spec
tacle. The final touch of relaxation is
added by the caretakers Of the dwelling
houses along the street, the men sitting
In the porches in their shirt sleeves and
their women folk in old wrappers, gos-
siping with visitors of their own social
rank and the idling policeman. 1t is
Fifth avenue, to be sure, but It might
as well be a street in darkest Suburbia.
Leaners All of Them
1 wonder why so many New York
people have the lean-to habit? No mat
ter where you stop to talk to New
York man. he is bound to lean against
something, In stores he leans against
counters, in saloons he braces himself
up against the bar, in hotels the pillars
and chairs contribute to his support, in
restaurants he leans against the ia BILE
and in the street against the walls
of projecting buildings. And the women
are just as bad as the men. Nobody
seems to have spunk enough to stand up
straight. The proprietors of some of the
shops evidently deprecate the universal
tendency to lean over and wish to dis
courage It, for they have distributed
signs. about the stores warning custom
ers not to lean on the counters; but so
far as l can see these notices are only
a bluff. THE GOTHAMITE.

THEATRICAL PEOPLE
TO MAKE TEST CASE
HIGHER COURT TO PASS UPON
CHILD ACTOR LAW
for Permitting Girl to Appear at
Public Performances for Amateurs,
Take Appeal

The city ordinance which forbids the
public appearance of children at any
performance where admission is
charged will be given judicial consid-
GRAFTON in the superior court.
Yesterday f. f. Hentz and Mrs. ].
N. Zalle, proprietors of the Unique
theater, were fined $50 each for allow
ing little Ethel Hogue to sing on
amateur night" at the theater.
The attorney for the defendants
promptly appealed the case, stating the
law, if enforced, would prevent chill
dren appearing at church entertain
ments and amateur theatricals.
According to the testimony, Ethel
Hogue was anxious to sing at the the
sion to appear with other amateur as
pirants.
The stage manager said Miss Ethel
she is said to have began, "Come with
no further. She left the stage in tears.
The contention of the defendants was
she really never sang, it being merely
an attempt, but the court held yester-
day the law was violated, no matter
how slight the attempt to amuse the
at -ience.
Theatrical men will watch the out
come of the case with great interest,
for a strict Interpretation of the law
would prevent the appearance of boys
and girls in any performance given in
the city where admission is charged.

HIGH SPEED VERSUS SAFETY

No new lesson is deducible from the
local electric car disasters that have
Just shocked the community. High
speed at grade crossings, with lack of
reasonable precaution on the part OF
employees, accounts for both Of the ac-
cidents that occurred last Saturday,
according to the statements of OBJ
servers. The effort to make schedule
time and the propensity for taking
dangerous risks in that effort, account
for a large proportion of railway dis
asters everywhere. American railways
are not exceptional in that respect, as
the recent appalling accident on a
British line demonstrates.
Such accidents as the local one caused
by the clashing of two cars at a cross
ing, are easily preVentable, but only at
the cost of loss of time. And it is the
public, not the railway companies, that
objects to schedules and rules calcu-
lated to insure safety. AS all persons
familiar with the subject know, it
costs more to run a car at high speed
than at moderate speed. On city transit
lines it probably would be economical
for railway companies to operate more
cars as compensating benefit for slower
time. 1t surely would be more econo-
mical if account be made of the loss
from smashed cars and the expense of
damages for persons killed or MANNED.
Excessive speed on street cars is not
consistent with safety. The railway
managers and the public both under
stand that self-evident truth. 1t is be-
cause the public demands such speed,
Notwithstanding the risk, that danger
ously rapid schedules are provided.
And even a fairly cautious motorman,
with the necessity for maintaining his
scheduled time in mind, is likely to
take dangerous chances
Some time in the future, probably
not many years hence Los Angeles
will begin to follow the lead of the
greater cities by operating its transit
| system either above or below the street
surface, A generation ago New York
| introduced elevated railways as a
remedy for all the shortcomings of the
surface lines, on leading thoroughfares.
Now the big city is taking another ad-
Vanced step by introducing subways on
main lines of travel. Other large Amer
ican cities will follow the example of the
metropolis.
But elevated and underground rail
ways are not yet in sight in Los An
geles, and for some years we shall have
to deal with the problem of satisfying
the public demand for rapid transit
with the minimum Of danger to life
and limb.

MIGHTY GOOD RIDDANcH

with the purpose Of Frightening his
presidential prospects. w. r. Hearst
is planning to defeat the Democratic
party's candidate for governor Of New
York I'm the coming election. Hearst
has organized, through his henchmen, a
brand new political party. He calls II
the Independence league. Last week
there was conference in New York
Of alleged representatives. of the league
from several upstate" counties. It is
said that the Hearst program was out
lined at the conference. that a state
convention of the independence league
will be called to meet at Carnegie hall
on September II and that a full state
ticket will be nominated, with Hearst
at the head as candidate for gov
ernor.
New York Is a politically close state
at best, and Hearst expects to draw
enough Democratic votes to insure the
defeat of the Democratic candidate for
governor. He also hopes to develop
sufficient strength on his own ehalf to
force the Democratic national conven-
ton to give him second place on the
presidential ticket, with the UNDER
standing that he shall Ultimately glut
his ambition by posing at the top.
The Hearst Independence league Is
meant to be rod in pickle" whereby
Hearst and his satellites may control
the balance of power in New York this
year. and also be potent in shaping the
national Democratic ticket in 1908 The
immediate purpose is to gather the
greatest possible following CT Inde-
pendence leaguers, so that Hearst may
be nominated by his party with an APP
pearance of great popular enthusiasm,
in advance of the state nominations by
the regular parties.
Endorse my nomination or the defeat
Of your ticket is certain" will be
Hearst's tender to the Democratic state
convention in New York. BY early
and sdroit manipulation on the part of
his stipendaries in certain counties
some Hearst men are likely to appear
as delegates at the Democratic con-
vention. And upon such influence
Hearst relies chiefly for success in bull
doing that body.
Will the scheme work? Here is the
opinion of Judge Alton B. Parker on
the subject: Certainly Mr.. Hearst is
too shrewd man to believe it possible
that the Democratic convention will
ever be made up of delegates so abso-
lutely pusilanimous as to surrender to
one demanding that the party deliver
up to him the honor and power he
covets, or suffer defeat
The Herald thinks Judge Parker
rates Hearst's shrewdness several
points too high. The colossal egotism
of Hearst leads him to believe, no
doubt, that some absolutely pusil-
Luminous delegates" will be found in
the Democratic convention, and prob
ably he hopes there will be enough of
that kind for his purpose.
But the only thing Of present conse-
quence relating to Hearst and his polit-
ical aspirations is the boldness of the
aspirant in cutting loose entirely from
Democratic mornings and hosting hi:
piratical black flag of a so-called Inde
pendence league.
And the Democratic party should bt
congratulated or it's good riddance OF
bad rubbish"
