! The PRINTERS
STRIKE IN DULUTH / /. { n

81 So much space is given to- the able
article on the <eight-hour work day
for the printers from the Chicago
American that we will defer much:
news Of the local situation until next
week.
An active and persistent campaign
Is being planned and with the unrest
that is being caused among the non
union men in the city because of the
allurements being offered by the
eastern cities for strike breakers, it
is hardly possible that the strike will
last much longer.
The Typothetae have thus far been
foiled in their attempt to get the
printing of the county blanks. The
range printers have an idea that they
are entitled to some of this work and
have succeeded in getting the county
commissioners to give them a chance
at the work. Therefore, when the
bids are opened again the Typothetae
will run up against something they
did not anticipate.
A new member of Duluth Typo
graphical Union No. 1876, who was
recently admitted to the organization
gave the following as his reason for
wishing to become a member of the
union: There is no particular OBJ
ject in my Joining lat the present
time, but I want to help in the time
of need, and will get all to join that
1 know are competent in every line
and worthy" This shows how the
eight-hour day spirit has spread
abroad Hundreds of such letters
from men outside the union have
been received since the eight-hour
fight started.
A certain job of printing was re-
GENTLY let by firm in the Board of
Trade building. Two shops, men,
bers Of the Typothetae, bid on the
work and one of the bidders on tbs
Job, gave a reduction below the
schedule established by the associa-
ton Of employing printers, to find
out for himself If the other was
standing by the scale of the Typothe-
tae. When the bids were opened his
opponent had underbid him four
times as much as the reduction he
had made He has had enough of the
Typothetae. The printers strike was
good thing for the Board of Trade
force.

the county would be the gamer by
the printers strike. Just an instance
The court calendar which is publish

they were in competition and put in
a bid at $1.29 and succeeded in get

tive Sons and Daughters have Joined

the sixtieth anniversary of the rails
ing of the American flag in Los An
geles. This event took place August
49, 1876.

at which there will be patriotic eX-
ercises, addresses by noted speakers,
the reading of historical papers,
music, etc.
Owed Large Sum
During the early part of 1916 the
Mexican government found itself in eX-
tremely straitened circumstances. 1t
owed large debt to Great Britain,
also to France, and was having diff
ficulty with the United States. AS a
result these three governments each
had a squadron at Callao.
TIL British under Admiral Seymour
sailed suddenly out of the harbor; and
Admiral Sloat, who was in command
of the American squadron, believing
that the Britisher was headed for the
California coast for the purpose of talk
ing possession of that territory for his
government, Immediately sailed with
all speed toward Monterey, arriving
there early in July, 1916, and ahead of
the British squadron.
AS yet Commander Sloat had not been
informed of the outbreak of hostilities
between the United States and MeXico
but after arriving. at Monterey he
learned of Fremonts presence in Cali
fornia with a small army, and assum-
ing that war had actually been de-
clared, he raised the American Flag at

Monterey July Z, 1876 and took possess
sion of Los CALIFORNIA; in the name of
the United States
At that time Commander Sloat was
an old man, having been in the service
for many years, and being in Ill health.
he turned over the command of the
American squadron to Commander
Stockton, who, with Gen. Fremont,
planned the capture of Los Angeles,
that being the capital of Alta and
Baja California.
Disembarked at San Pedro
To carry out this plan Fremont and
his infantrymen were sent by sea to
San Diego, for the purpose of procur-
ing horses. Stockton came to San
Pedro and disembarked his men there,
where they were drilled preparatory to
the advance upon Los Angeles, it being
agreed between him and Fremont that
they should form juncture just south
of the city.
Stockton with his men dragged a
number of field pieces from San Pedro
towards Los Angeles, and met Gen.
Fremont in accordance with their plan.
Meantime Gen. Castro, the COM
mander-in chief of the Mexican forces,
had fled with his staff through San
Bernardino and the San Gorgonio pass,
by way of Una into Sonora. Pho Pico,
then governor of both CALIFORNIA;, also
fled. He went by way of San Diego
into Lower California thence across the
Gulf of Mexico. Pico barely escaped
capture near the Rancho Santo Margar-
ita.
Offer Little Resistance
After the junction of Stockton and
Fremont they came Immediately into
Los Angeles, but the Mexican forces
having no leader and being altogether
disorganized, offered little or no re-
sistance and the American flag was
raised at the Mexican government
house, near the United States hotel, on
the east side of North Main street.
This event took place August 13, 1916.
Fremont then went overland north
ward, and Stockton repaired to San
Pedro and re-embarked. Lieutenant
Gollespie was in command of Los An
geles with about fifty men, but later
was compelled to capitulate to the
Mexicans, who had driven him out
from his quarters to Fort Hill. at the
head of Broadway, where the flagpole
now marks the site of his last stand.
Being surrounded by the Mexicans
with all sources of supply cut off, he
evacuated with honors of war and went
to San Pedro, whence he went north
by sea.
At a little later date the Americans
with a larger force recaptured Los An
geles, after severe fighting, and again
raised the American flag, since which
time it has never been lowered

NJ LACHLAN OPENS
LOCAL CAMPAIGN
Declares Himself Opposed to Appoint
ment of Delegates to Congress
sionaI Convention From
Outside Precincts

Congressman James McLachlan ar
rived in Los Angeles from Washington
yesterday and will at once begin his
campaign for denomination.
So far as his contest with City At
torney Mathews is concerned, he mere
ly said he would place himself in the
hands of his constituents and leave it
to them to judge whether his work in
congress entitled him to a recollection.
Mr.. McLachlan announced himself as
in favor of square deal" and op-
posed to the appointment of delegates
to the congressional convention from
precincts outside of Los Angeles and
Pasadena. He said the people should
be allowed free expression of opinion
on this subject and that all of the dele
gates should be voted on at the pri-
maries.
Congressman McLachlan said that
the last session of congress had enacted
more beneficial legislation than any
other session in his eight years in
cumbency and he was especially
pleased with the passage of the owens
river bill and the measures permitting
the construction of the new federal
building.
With respect to the owens river bill
Mr.. McLachlan said il was not intro
duced until the closing days Of the ses-
sion, and at first the congressman We're
not inclined to take 1t seriously. He
said that as a result of hard work,
however. he finally succeeded in induc-
ing the members to give it a hearing
and his efforts in getting the bill passed
won for him the commendation of
Speaker Cannon and other congress-
men.

BERT FRANKLIN NAMED
AS A FEDERAL DEPUTY
Len Cleveland, His Working Partner
Expects Soon to Be Constable
Two Brave Men in Line for Pro-
motion

Bert Fl. Franklin. who for many
years has acted as deputy sheriff, was
yesterday appointed to the position of
deputy United States marshal, and
during the term OF office of the new
marshal he will be the chief represen-
tative in Los Angeles city and county.
The appointment of Franklin was
made known yesterday and the Off
Ger terdered his resignation to Sheriff
White. In reply he received a recon-
mendation which few officers have ever
been able to attain. and he leaves the
sheriff's staff with the hearty good
will of everyone there.
The new deputy marshal has an en-
Viable record.
Since his service under Sheriff White,
Franklin, with Deputy Len Cleveland,
has carried on the criminal department.
Franklin now goes TO a federal office,
while cleveland expects soon, with the
good will of his party TO receive the
office Of constable,
Since Sheriff White first t ok up the
duties of his office Cleveland and Frank
lin have worked side by side. 1t was
through their efforts alone, after all
other officers had failed. that the Cas-
teel brothers were tracked ruthlessly
through the country of the southwest
and finally captured at Whitewater
canyon
Both men were side by side when the
Casteels put up desperate fight, and
both men went { wn fighting and kick
ing the desperadoes into submission.
Now they are to part, and yesterday
they spent in each others company.
In the past few months Franklin has
made a number Of clever arrests. His
work in the recent Logan murder mys-
terry Of Pasadena was considered excep-
tionally clever and he goes into his
new position with a magnificent record.

ton has not spared neither time or
money in securing the best lighting
effects possible. Frederick Miller,
master of properties, has an enlarged
force of men at his disposal, so that
the intermissions should be unusually
short. Frank King, who won the first
prize for excellence of scenic painting
at the Buffalo exposition was en-
gagged especially to paint the big pro-
duction of THE Halfbreed" and the
equipment that he has completed will
prove one of the most pleasant sur
prices of the presentation.
Upon his recent eastern trip, when ne
made arrangements for the production
of THE Judge and the jury" Mr..
Morosco outlined the plot of The
Halfbreed" to Charles Frohman, whom
he says was much pleased with the
idea and Mr.. Morosco is confident that
before long the play will be produced
in New York under Mr. Frohman's
direction.

I'm BLAZE OF GLORY"
MARRIED BY TARDY ONES
AN EXCELLENT CURTAIN RAISER
PRECEDES "GENIUS"
Nat Goodwin Appears in Entirely New
Role and Touches Hearts of Au-
dience by Portraying a Hero In
Rags

Last nights performance of "The
Genius" by Nat Goodwin and his COM
pany at the Mason opera house was
preceded by curtain raiser that was
a human interest triumph. "In a
Blaze of Glory" character study by
Paul Armstrong, shows Nat Goodwin
in a mood entirely different from the
common conception of this actor.
He is Michael O'Brien, in the eyes
of the world Bum, but to a tiny girl
whose life he has saved, he is a hero.
He is brought to Bellevue hospital
dying, as result of his heroism, and
with his dying breath he gives voice
to some potent truths disguised with
coating of Irish wit. A hand organ
outside plays Killarney" and life goes
out. That is ALL but it is enough.
Because of the disturbance created
by people who, despite the fact that
the curtain was supposed to go up at
8 o'clock, did not arrive until S:45,
much that Mr.. Goodwin said was lost,
but the action was so perfect that even
the efforts of the inconsiderate ones
could not mar 1t. Neil O'Brien. Cor

| LONG BEACH, July 14.-"Wanted, a
Wife" a comedy of an uncertain num-
Der of acts, will tomorrow begin its
third week here. The principal char
acter, so far at least, is of medium
height, has red hair, wears a red mus
tache, is AZ years old and says he is
dead crazy TO get married.
The principal character is A. Hail.
who formerly, for a few weeks, was
proprietor of the grocery store at Ninth
and Flower streets, Los Angeles. Under
the name "A. Hunt" he recently adver-
tised for a helpmeet, making quite a
plea for consideration. Hall is particu-
larly anxious to secure a suitable wife
in the immediate future because of the
fact that he wishes to start for st.
Michaels, near Nome, within a few
weeks
In 1898 he went to Dawson during the
rush. He landed there with fifteen
cents in cash. He established a grocery
store and within six months was worth
$4,000 Finally the longing for the
home country grew strong and Hall re-
turned to the United States Since
then he has lived in Los Angeles the
greater part of the time.
The grocery business proved unproft-
able and it was dropped in n hurry.
Then Hall began to wish that he was in
Alaska again. But he did not want to
go Il alone. SO, after coming to Long
Beach he began to advertise for help
meet.
OF fifteen who answered his adver-
tisement he has tried out" about a
half dozen but with dscouraging re-
suits.
I'D go into the booth at the depot"
he said, "and telephone to one after
another 10 come down. Then I'd meet
each one at the station. We'd go roller
skating together or take a dip in the
surf Then we'd have dinner out at the
end of the pier or at good restaurant.
"But all that came down were God
forsaken looking outfit"
Hall leaned upon the railing of the
pleasure pier as he talked and his eye
swept the "pike" below, where "nig-
ger baby" stand was in operation.
"That man has little business that
pays him pretty well, and l suppose he
Is happy. l believe I'd be happy my
self just i'm a little affair like that
