The National Match.

 trophy, donated by Congress. 1t is -ex- pected that between forty and forty i've teams of twelve men each will be entered Each team will be accompa- nied by substitutes, coaches and su- pernumeraries and in addition there will be a large number of marksmen shooting on other teams and as indi- viduals. so the attendance will be not far from 1000 men, which will include the best military rife shots in the country
 This Is the first time the matches have been shot at Camp Perry, which is one of the newest and most com plete ranges in the country. It lies on the shore of Lake Erie. near Sandusky and Point Clinton, and across the lake from Put-in-Bay. The targets~will be along the north side with the butts at the lake, so the bullets will fall in the water. As it is shallow there will be no danger to passing vessels.
 It is expected that some remarkably nigh scores will be made. partly on account of the north light, as the marksmen will not have to face the sun at any time. The increasing amount of practice with the military rife should also show in the scores, especially as most of the rihemen have kept in practice during the winter by using the Krag or Winchester 22, which gives the same results in indoor prac- tice as the 30 at outdoor practice.
 Competitors seeking relaxation will find 1t at Port Clinton Sandusky, Put inlay. or other nearby resorts, spe- cial arrangements having been made for an evening train to leave camp af- ter the matches and return about mid night. This train will connect with steamers to the different resorts There will also be a day steamer between the camp and Port Clinton and between Port Clinton and Put-in-Bay.
 The match for the Palma Trophy will attract the attention, of the world as in 1t will compete the best shots of Eng land, Canada and the United States. The Ottawa Range, on which 1t will be shot, is at Rookc1iffe, near Ottawa. The fire is delivered northeast on fifty targets set in one line. Behind the pit is a high stop-butt. painted black. which minimizes the effect of the early northern light

Men to shoot,

The men who handle the rife are the ones to learn to shoot 1t. and every facility should be given the private to practice whenever he wishes to. TO do this ranges at home stations must be provided and before the end of an- other year. I hope to see range at the home station of every company in Alabama There is now ample money available and with the expenditure of a small sum at each place, land can be procured and a range secured on which firing can be had. Whenever possible, a distance of at least 500 yards should be procured and lease at once secured.

MEXICAN STABS
SYRIAN FATALLY
Objects to Conversation In English
Language, as He Does Not
Understand 1t, and
Uses Knife

Joe Aruddi, a Syrian, living at 1412
North Main street, was seriously and
perhaps fatally stabbed about 13O
o'clock yesterday afternoon by Mexi-
can who gave his name as A. Civalla.
The fight occurred at Ann and North
Main streets. 1t is said the trouble
was started by Civalla, who became en-
ragged because Aruddi was talking to
his brother in English a language
which Civalla does not understand.
According to A. c. Vail, 1911 North
Main street, the three men had been
standing near his place for nearly an
hour. They did not appear angry, but
were talking constantly. Finally they
started to walk down the street, when
suddenly one of the men took several
steps backward and then ran toward
Aruddi with knife in his hand, strik-
ing him in the side. Aruddi fell to the
pavement, but the man made no at
tempt to escape and was arrested.
The injured man was taken to the
receiving hospital, where it was found
he had been stabbed in the left side of
his back. 1t is thought his injuries
may prove fatal. He was later taken
to the county hospital.
GiValla was arrested and booked on
the charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. The man would say nothing
of the trouble.

ANIMAL TRAINER TALKS
OF HIS WILD CHARGES

Strong drink has most calming
effect on the lion, who becomes most
docile after partaking of an excessive
amount of Intoxicating liquor. 1t is
doubtful If many people would venture
to try the experiment, and it is not adj
vised, so says Christopher Seitz, the
well known animal trainer of the Sells
Floto shows. He states that when
under the influence of a "stimulant'' a
stranger may with perfect safety enter
lions cage, for 1t will show no signs
of ferocity unless deliberately annoyed
When ailing, wild animals are very
difficult to deal with, and artifice enters
largely into their treatment. At the
winter quarters of the Sells-Floto shows
an elephant known as Mamma Mary
contracted influenza. The attack was
very bad one, the animal suffering
intense agony. In the course of one
day no less than half barrel of mus
tard was applied to Mamma Mary ex-
ternally. In the same space of time she
consumed three gallons of whisky-or
more than any other animal has ever
swallowed in day before. The heroic
and, as it proved, successful treat
ment, was considered necessary to save
the elephants life, which was well
worth preserving, apart from any senti-
mental considerations. Up to that
time there was no case on record of
fluenza. N
On another occasion favorite ele-
phant, known as Trilby, fell i'll, and
could not be induced to touch her food.
She moaned continually, shed floods of
tears, and gradually grew weaker and
weaker. What her complaint was it
was difficult to determine, but some-
thing had to be done to restore the pom
derous beast to health. She was there
fore subjected to rather expensive
treatment, a pint of brandy and some
quantity of Rhine wine being adminis-
tered alternately at frequent intervals.
This Trilby swallowed greedily, and
she was kept strictly to liquid diet
Three times a day she was allowed a
bucket OF Cruel. each bucket contain
ing no less than forty quarts. The ele-
phant soon recovered her usual health
and spirits.
The menagerie at the Sells-Floto
shows is open to the public every day
for one hour before the beginning OF the
big show, whore experienced lecturers
tell of the wonderful beasts of the
forest. The date at Los Angeles is
Monday, April s, for three days, at

THE PLUNGER"
IS A WINNER
MEL0DRAMA SUITS CROWDS
AT THE GRAND
Coming Right After Ascot's Closing, II
Carries a Good Lesson for Track
Habltues-Burbank Continues
"Under the Bear Flag"

"The Plunger" is a racy sort of a
name for a melodrama. It comes to
the Grand a week after the Ascot track
closes, too.
Like all melodramas based on life in
the great metropolis, it is filed with
stirring situations. One is thrilled,
again thrilled and before long there Is
more of 1t. There is no time for re
action. oliver Doud Byron doesn't
write partial plays. If villains in real
life were as stupid as the bad man or
the melodrama a great saving might
be made in administration of the law
we could dispense with detectives The
melodrama villain need never be
sought. He is always at the police
mans elbow trying to get some other
man into trouble. We should require
no judges and no lawyers. All that
need be done is show a forged check
to policeman and straight away goes
the accused to Sing Sing. When a mis-
take in the dispensation of justice has
been discovered no need to go through
the formality of securing a pardon
Lose the innocent and lock up the
guilty. That's all. No need for the
melodramatic fugitive to flee or fly or
anything of the kind. All he must do
Is send around a box of cigars to head
quarters and there would be no danger
of arrest. But best Of all under the
regime of melodrama would be the
quality of invisibllity which enables the
thief, the victim, the hero and the de-
tective, everybody in fact, to rub ell
bows without seeing each other. Per-
haps it is this element of unreality that
makes the popularity Of melodrama so
pronounced.
'The Plunger'' is a red-haired bank
clerk who makes love to pretty widow
who is all to anxious. The hero is
weak-splned specimen of humanity for
whom everyone is heartily sorry. The
heroine Is a fearful blonde in garments
of sorrow, whose chief diversion is 60
ing to the cemetery. The villain is
fool or he would have got what he
went for in the face of the other fools.
The soubrette is pretty and does not
seem to have much connection with
the play The tramp and the "coon"
comedians are all that tramp and
coon comedians in melodrama are
expected to be, which is equally true
of the minor villains and the rest of
the cast.
There is plenty of good laughing ma
terial in the play, which come as re-
lief to the tenSer touches.
In the five acts the onlookers are
translated from a bank office to a
woman's home, to elevated station and
to another woman's home. In all cases
the plunger makes opportune arrivals.
Clarence A. Ferguson, Joseph Robin
son and William Marion handle the
leading roles acceptably, while Alpha
Gertrude Clark, Grace Fredericks and
Meta Chamberlain show cleverness and
ability in the principal feminine roles.

Todays session Of the city council
will probably be taken up largely with
a discussion of the owens river bond
issue.
Saturdays meeting Of the committee
of the whole brought out but little new
information but all the data that can
be digested in days was contained In
the seventy-eight-pa report filed late
Saturday by the aqueduct board with
the board of public works.
This lengthy review of Owens river
work, printed in part in yesterday S

gantic water project, and furnishes
ample ammunition to help along the
23,O00,000 bond issue.
City Attorney L. r. Hewitt and his
predecessor, w. B. Matthews, who is
now special counsel for the aqueduct
board, will attend today's session to
answer questions. Both of these law
yers are urging that the resolution of
intention be passed at once, so that a
date for the special election can be set
at once.
Two important recommendations will
be reported by the finance committee.
Expense money will be furnished the
health department, so that some Of the
new milk inspectors may go from San
Diego to San Luis Obispo, studying
milk at the source of supply
The other recommendation gives more
funds to City Auditor w. C. Mushet,
so that he can put his force to work

the past six years.
If the time seems propitious some eff
fort will be made to pave the way for
active work on city bridges. The trolley

DECLARES THEFT
IS FABRICATION
POLICE SAY ROBBERY STORY
Is FALSE
Believe Collector Lost Money and
Told Weird Tale to Clear
Himself of Sus-
picion

According to the police, the story told
by " p. Maher of being assaulted and
robbed~in his rooms at 1346 South Hope
street early Sunday morning is a fabri-
cation. The police claim the affair is
the same old story of being robbed in
order to account for money which be-
longs to some one else and has been
lost.
Maher is an agent and collector for the
International Correspondence schools.
His story is that coming home from the
office at 522 South Spring street about
10:30 o'clock Saturday night he was
knocked down by a man the moment he
entered the door of his room. The man
called to an accomplice, who came from
the next room, and the two tied his
arms and feet, after a desperate strug
gle Maher claims the men then went
through his clothes and robbed him of
a purse containing $110 in gold, which
he had collected that afternoon.
In the struggle, Maher said, he was
rendered unconscious, and only recov-
cred when his brother and E. A.
Browne came in the room shortly after
1 o'clock, and untying the rope which
bound him, with the aid of cold water
and whisky succeeded in restoring him
to consciousness.
Was Tied with Rope
According to Browne, he found Maher
lying on the floor bound with rope and
apparently unconscious. After apply
ing restoratives Maher recovered, and
the police were then notified.
When the police arrived the room
was found to be in great confusion,
but, although many things had been
knocked to the floor nothing was
broken, and no damage had been done
to anything in the room.
On going over the house it was found
the rear door was locked on the inside,
although Maher claimed the men had
gone out of the apartment that way.
The detectives opened the door and
found the purse containing the money
lying on the door sill between the door
and the screen, which was also locked
on the inside.
Roomers Heard Nothing
The police allege that other people
in the house were up and would have
heard any struggle or unusual noise in
the room below. Two women were sit
ting on the porch waiting for their hus-
bands to arrive who say they would
have seen any one entering or leaving
the place. They saw Maher come in
and heard him go to his room. They
say he walked about the room for
few minutes. and after that all was
silent.
After a thorough investigation of the
affair the police came to the conclusion
the entire story was false. Maher was
taken to the captains Office at the Uni
versity station, where he was told Just
what conclusion the detectives had
drawn. Maher denied that his story
was false, and declared he had told the
truth.
AS there was nothing more for the
police to do the case was dropped.

"PARsiFAL,", NOW PERFECT,
TO BEGIN ITS SECOND
WEEK AT AUDITORIUM

"Parsifal," put on most sumptuously
by the Dick Ferris company at the
Auditorium, last Thursday, has now
reached perfection, the half week Civ
ing 1t the finishing touches which it
lacked the opening night. 1t is now a
magnificent offering, and superb ex-
hibition of what can be done in the
spectacular with the facilities which
the Auditorium affords. Mr.. Ferris
has mounted 1t simply without regard
to cost, and every principal is perfect
in his role. The Wagnerian music
adds so much to it that, it being a
perfect Easter play, it will doubtless
run more than this week, and may last
the season through.
