Rear Admiral Goodrich is making a
mountain out of a mole hill" over the
Tacoma incident. The fact that the
directors of a public ball quietly re-
quested one of the admirars young
officers not TO enter the room because
as they elaim-his breath smelled of
liquor and his seamans costume was
rather decollete. does not argue an
'fnsult to the American navy" nor a
lack of patriotism. This is a free
country, and IT has always been a rule
among Americans that mo gentleman
will undertake 10 force his presence
upon any function where he is not
wanted" no matter what the reason.
The navy is all right and we'll behaved
naval officers are usually welcome at
any function, but the fact Of a single
exception-even for petty cause-has
no connection with American patriot
ism. There is no apparent cause for
the admirals bluster.

TO LOOK AT STARRY HEAVENS
Work Fast Progresses at Lick Observ-
atory at San Jose and on
Branch In Chile
BY Associated Press.


SAN JOSE, Aug. 12.-At the Lick OBJ
servatory the construction of an extern
sive lighting plant is being rushed and
plans are making for the erection of
another observatory building, with
safety vaults to hold photographs and
valuable documents.
Satisfactory reports of progress con-
tinue to come from Astronomer Heber
d. Curtis, in charge Of the d. o. Mills
observatory, located on Cerro San
Cristobal, San Diego, Chile. The pro-
gram of work for this branch of the
Lick observatory concerns the stars in
the southern sky which are not visible
from Mount Hamilton, and is entirely
spectroscopic in it's nature. The OBJ
servations from Mount Hamilton and
San Cristobal will provide a knowledge
of the motions of all the brighter stars
in the two hemispheres.
The 36-inch refractor the 36-inch
Crosley reflector and the 12-inch re-
tractor are engaged continuously on all
good nights in the solution of a number
of important problems, more especially
with the spectroscopic in motions Of
the stars, the photography of the plan
cts and the discovery and accurate OBJ
servation of double stars.

Maj Edwin A. Sherman, president of
the Veterans of the Mexican War, and
MISS Elizabeth Fremont will be prom
inent figures in today's celebration of
the raising of the first American flag
over the pueblo of Los Angeles. Just
sixty years ago today Commodore
Stockton and Gen. John C. Fremont
marched into this city from San Pedro.
They expected to find here the army of
Gen. Castro and Governor Pico, from
whom they had received defiant chal-
lenge, but the Mexican army fled the
night previous and the Americans
marched in without firing a shot It
was bloodless victory, but the raising
of the American flag over Los Angeles
on that hot August day. 1S46, was an
event that should never be forgotten in
the history of California.

UP IN ARMS
AGAINST PARKER
REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE TO
FIGHT THE MACHINE
Ninth Ward VIII Send a Delegation
to Venice to Vote "for the
Best Man" at the Con-
ventlon

Republicans of precinct 139 in the
Ninth ward are up in arms against the
control Of that section of the city by
Walter Parker's machine.
These Republicans have organized
and named six delegates for the pri-
maries Tuesday. These delegates are
under no other pledge than to vote for
man whom the machine does not fa-
Vor and do all 1t can to put Walter
Parker's allies to rout.
While the Republicans of this pre-
cinct have given no name to their or
ganization they have held two meet
ings in the vestry room of the Euclid
Avenue church. 1t was at a meeting
held last Tuesday evening that dele
gates were elected These delegates
are the following: Charles Leach,
Thomas H. Brice, NJ w. Wray, William
j. Welshans, Hadley w. Gross and B.
F. Combs.
These delegates are announced on a
handbill which bears the following in
Productions:
DO you stand for pure politics or
machine rule?
Are you working for your own or
corporate interests in sustaining the
boss and the machine?
DO you want to select your candi-
dates or leave that to the machine?
THE citizens named below were NOM
mated by the people, not the machine,
to represent the people in the Republi-
can county convention.
Honesty and efficiency in office are
qualifications absolutely necessary for
candidates to receive the vote of this
delegation.
They will insist that every candi-
date pledge himself to enforce the law
without regard to political pull or cor
porate influence.
THE primary is the battlefield of
politics.
Every citizen should exercise the
right to select candidates.
Get your friends and vote early for
people or machine.

CONSTANCE CRAWLEY
TO PLAY AT BERKELEY
TO APPEAR IN FAMOUS GREEK
THEATER
Midsummer Nights Dream" to Be
Given by Moonlight and With Or
chestraI Accompaniment by Men,
delssohn
Special to The Herald.

EpeCldl " L iS llSAdios
BERKELEY, Aug. 12.-Constance
CrawIey. formerly member of the
Ben Greet company, and her company,
will play the Midsummer Nights
Dream" in the Greek theater In about
three weeks.
Final arrangements are now being
made and the exact date will be an
nounced in few days. The moon is
full early in September, and some even
ing will be chosen so that this play
may be given by moonlight, which
will be the most favorable conditions
Imaginable.
The University orchestra, under the
leadership of Professor j. Fred Woole,
will render Mendelssohn's accompani-
ment to the play.
The performance, combining the abil-
tiles of a very good theatrical COM
pany and the University orchestra,
promises to be most successful one.
The orchestral accompaniment to mid
summer Nights Dream" by Men
delssohn, Is one whose rendition will
add greatly to the beauty and strength
of the play. The orchestra will be
reorganized In a short time and re-
hearsals will commence for the play.
Plays have been given heretofore in
the Greek theater, but never by moon
light with the accompaniment of the
University orchestra, and 1t is eX-
pected that to this now undertaking
on the part of the university a large
outpouring of the lovers OF the drama
will set the stamp of popular approval.
The play will be under the direction
of the musical and dramatic commit
tee, so successful the past year in the
organizations Of prominent university
symphony orchestra. If this attempt
proves successful, as 1t undoubtedly
will, similar performances win follow
in the future.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Scenes Of dis
order were witnessed on a number of
new trolley and elevated roads leading
to Coney Island today when passen-
gers, guided by an opinion handed
down by Supreme Court Judge Gaynor
yesterday, refused to pay second
fare.
At one period during the afternoon
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
refused to convey its passengers be-
boundary, so long as any of the pas
sengers refused to pay the additional
cents.
The result was blockade of cars and
trains a mile long Great crowds OF
elected passengers gathered at the Sec
ond fare points, held Indignation meet
ings and promised to bring suits for
damages against the company.
While the police had acted during the
day only to prevent disorder, they to-
night took command and for a time
kept the cars moving so rapidly that
the inspectors could not eject passen-
gers. Later, however, the motormen
declined to move the cars and the po-
lice arrested several of them for OBJ
structing the streets.
They also took into custody Dow j
Smith, general superintendent of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, on
charge of obstructing traffic by re-
fusing TO allow the cars to proceed 10
Coney Island. and Division Superinten-
dent Davis on the same charge.
Thousands Of persons walked from
Neck road to Coney Island rather than
submit to the company's demands
Other thousands who undertook tc
walk TO Brooklyn after the blockade
had demorallzed traffic spent the night
sleeping by the tracks.

HOPE FOR ANSWER
EARLY THIS WEEK
COMMITTEE AWAITS WORD
FROM HUNTINGTON
citizen Thinks He Sees Chance for
Reform Along Moral Lines With
Late Street Car
Service

There will be no meeting Of the city
council this afternoon. as today Is de-
clared a holiday by the mayor in honor
Of the sixtieth anniversary of the rails
ing of the flag by Gen. Fremont. The
regular meeting of the council will be
held Tuesday afternoon.
But the fact that today Is a holiday
does not necessarily stop the thinking
processes of Henry e. Huntington and
Attorney Billy Dunn, and the special
committee of the city council hopes,
although the hope is forlorn one, that
by Tuesday morning it will receive a
telephone message from the railway
magnate calling another consultation.
"Owl for the howl cars long enough
and ard enough and you'll get them,"
said an Englishman living in Los An
geles yesterday, with an effective dis
regard of the aspirate.
He shares the universal belief held
in Los Angeles that Henry e. Hunting
ton is willing to accommodate the peo-
pie and that IL the people really want
"owl cars" they will get them.
Owl Cars Wanted
That "owl cars" really are wanted is
dreds of leading business and profess
sional men, through the columns of
The Herald, have expressed their
earnest desire for such an improve
ment. Many of these men are in the
bosoms of their families early in the
evening and have no personal use for
an ''owl car" but they realize that there
are hundreds and thousands of persons
not as fortunate as they whom the "owl
cars" will greatly benefit.
Not only are the owl cars" necessary
for the toilers of the night but the
winter season is approaching, when
Los Angeles will be filled to overf1owing
with the annual influx of tourists.
These tourists are nearly all from the
large cities where they have not had
to acquire the pernicious habit of
catching the last car. In their home
cities there are no last cars.
When they learn that the last car"
that remnant of the country town, still
exists in Los Angeles they may be ex-
pected to go back east and tell their
would make Native Son take off his
coat to argue the point.
Habit to Be Broken
But this year it is promised that the
last car" habit of the street railway
companies Will be broken. They Will
break the shackles that have bound
them for a lifetime and have street
cars on the tracks long after the con-
ventional last car" should have
stopped under the old regime.
"Owl cars will have a moral effect on
the community rather than otherwise, .
said a citizen of Los Angeles yesterday
who is qualified to know whereof he
speaks. The lack of owl cars is re-
sponsible in a large measure for the
number of hold-ups and deeds of vio-
lence of which there is yearly cpl
denlic in this city. If there are late cars
for man to jump on and be whirled
to his home he is not going to walk
home and thereby lay himself liable to
murderous assault from some hidden
highwayman. When these same high
waymen discover that there are no be-
lated pedestrians for them to attack
they will seek more profitable fields
and the city will be rid of this class
of citizen at least
