MANY ATTRACTIONS ARE
ADDED FOR ENTERTAINMENT
OF THE VISITING SHRINERS

Additional attractions will be pro-
vided for the Shriners on Saturday,
May IL, according to plans made public
yesterday by Potentate Motley H.
Flint.
Saturday of that date will be known
as Ladies' day." and many novel fea-
lures will be presented for the amuse-
ment of the mobiles and their wives.
A grand barbecue has been arranged
at Lucky Baldwins ranch, to be fol-
lowed by an old-fashioned straw ride
over the big Baldwin ranch. There will
be more than 5000 pounds of meat bar
becued in the style of the old Spanish
settlers.
Games will be provided and an ex-
hibition of "bronco busting" will be
given by cowboys.
The Daughters of Isis will entertain
the women and Shriners at the Masonic
home in East San Gabriel from 10
o'clock in the morning until o'clock of
the same day. Refreshments will be
served, and a, visit will be made to the
old San Gabriel mission, admission to
which has been exclusively reserved for
the visiting mobiles.
AS the time draws near for the COM
ing of the Shriners all the tentative ar
rangements are being rapidly perfected,
and it is expected the entire program
will be given without a hitch. New
features will be added and the time so
arranged that the mobiles can be enter
tanned every hour of the day and even
ing with a choice of amusements and
places TO visit,

LIQUOR DEALERS
DEMAND A VETO

If the city council makes any effort
to daily with the new ordinance fixing
the wholesale zone for liquor dealers
the initiative may be invoked to restrict
the traffic.
That this will be done is freely pre-
dicted around the city hall. Fifteen per
cent of the voters at the last election
can insist on passage Of any of the ordi-
nances they desire.
All day yesterday liquor men and
Royal Arch representatives besleged tho
city hall to induce Mayor Harper to
veto the wholesale zone ordinance be-
cause 1t forces from business all whole
sale stores in the old district outside OF
the retail liquor zone. Many also urged
the mayor to sign the measure.
Telephones I'm the homes and Offices
of the various councilmen were also
kept hot all day.
Mayor Harper Is inclined TO veto the
measure solely because II puts out OF
business twenty-three establishments
which have done business for years
These include Central avenue and other
streets outside the retail zone. The
council lacks votes to pass the measure
over the mayors veto.
Councilman Clampitt is getting blasts
from many constituents for voting in
favor of the restricted ordinance.

MURDERER SELL
RECEIVES PARDON
Young Man Accused Of Killing Four
People, and Given Life Sentence,
to Leave His Prison Cell
CondltlonaIIy
By Associated Press.


TOPEKA, Kas., April Ex-Governor
Hoch today granted conditional pardon
to William Sell the quadruple mur-
derer who has been in the Kansas pen
itentiary since 1888, serving a life sem
tence.
The principal condition of the pardon
is that Sell must not take the lecture
platform or in any manner exhibit him
self for the purpose of making money
Governor Hoch promises to find Sell a
home and help him start life anew.
The murders were committed on
March 8, 1886, evidently for the purpose
of robbery ]. w. Sell, aged As, a
farmer and school teacher. lived near
Erie, Kas., with his family, the wife, a
son, Watty, 10 years old, a daughter,
Ena, 10 years old, and a son, Willie, l6
years old.
The family were murdered at night,
all four having been cut and slashed in
a horrible manner. Willie stoutly MAIN
tanned his innocence and declared that
the murder had been committed by /,
man who had attacked the members of
the family while they slept.
He had awakened while the man was
finishing his work and had chased him
from the house. In defending Sell, his
attorneys argued that 1t would have
been physical impossibility for him
to have committed the crime, as he was
siclSly and developed no more than a
boy of 13 years.

THAW MAY KNOW
HIS FATE TO-DAY
DELMAS MAKES AN ELOQUENT
PLEA TO JURY
This Morning Jerome viii Address the
Twelve Men Who Are to Judge
the Slayer Of Stanford
White
6Continued from Page OneJ

AAOuNnuNu NEOIn EHkG OhNl
Square roof garden the story of his
wife's wrongs overcame him.
"He pictured in an instant, as dying
man may picture his past life-all that
Stanford White had done-the ruin he
had wrought, and he struck; struck as
the tigress strikes in defense of her
young; struck for the home; struck for
American women; struck for humanity,
and Stanford White fell.
Gentlemen" the advocate went on,
'if Harry Traw believed he was the in
strument of Providence, who will say
he was mistaken"
Mr.. Delmas discussed but briefly the
testimony of the expert witnesses, de
claring that whatever weight might at
tach to their utterances was on the side
OF the defendant. He declared the bur-
den of proof as to Thaw's insanity at
the time of the homicide rested with
the prosecution, which had failed to
make out it's case.
In discussing Thaw's mental state,
Mr.. Delmas came at last to the "un-
written law" He declared the experts
had been at a loss to classify the form
of insanity from which Thaw suffered.
II will suggest it's name," he declared.
II would call it 'dementia America, "
he declared.
ut is a species of insanity which has
been recognized in every state in this
union. 1t is that species of insanity
which makes the American man be-
lieve his home, his wife, his daughters,
are sacred, and that whatsoever stains
the virtue of his threshold violates the
highest of human laws"
Twice during his closing periods Mr..
Delmas was interrupted by Assistant
District Attorney Garvin, who sug-
gested the argument was taking too
wide a scope, and Justice Fitzgerald
called Mr.. Delmas' attention to the
fact.
Thaw seemed to be in the best of
spirits and declared to his lawyers in
the tombs that he felt his case was won,
He seemed to have no dread of the as
sault of the district attorney tomorrow
There was a report today that Mr.. Je-
rome was i'll, but he appeared at his
office during the afternoon and said he
had been busy for two days preparing
his argument.
In view of the district attorneys re-
marks before the lunacv commission
that Thaw is today hopelesly insane,
most interest attaches to the line of ar
gument he will pursue in asking for the
mans conviction.

HEALTH INSPECTOR
IS UNDER A CLOUD
Civil Service Commission Hears the
Charges Against Russell w.
Ready-Takes Case Under
Advisement

For two hours yesterday the civil
service commission heard testimony in
the case of alleged incompetency, care
lessness and of visiting the Ascot
track charged against Sanitary In
spector Russell w. Ready.
DR.. Powers, DR.. Garcelon and in
spectors and Others of the health de-
partment were on hand as witnesses.
Ready was charged with having
solicited loans from various persons
whose premises he was called on to in
spect. This feature was gone into
deeply at the trial.
1t appears that Ready had been slow
about seeing that new drains and other
changes were installed at the plant of
the American Olive company, which
only operates in winter.
Superintendent Gage, Shipping Clerk
August Smith and others testified
about this feature, as did Inspectors
Morrow and Brown.
DIR. Powers testified that he consid-
cred that the defendant had not given
attention to his district such as other
districts got. He had lately regarded
Ready as physically and mentally in
firm.
Ready took the stand and demanded
all reports of the health department.
Ready admitted that he had been at
Ascot park, but said he always worked
during the noon hour on such occasions
and was on hand when needed. He ad-
mitted losing between $3.50 and $780,
He said he had borrowed money, but
II was done in good faith and he in
tended to repay II all
The case was taken under advise
ment
