DRUMMER GIRL
RISKS HER LIFE
orpheum Actress Beats Monster to
Death with Heel of Her Dainty
Shoe and Then Cries
About 1t
Afraid of a mouse? Well, I guess

Afraid of a mouse? Well, guess
not"
There was commotion in a dressing
room at the Orpheum last night, shrieks
and screams and hysterical laughter.
And the little gray mouse who was the
innocent cause of it all was so scared
that in his terror he made a dreadful
mistake. He ran into another dressing
room, which happened to be the one oc-
cupied by Ethel MacDonough, the petite
soldier girl who does the drummer boy
stunt.
Miss MacDonough didn't scream. She
whacked the mouse with one of her high
heeled slippers. When she saw that she
had probably killed the little thing she
cried.
IT just can't help it," she said. II
didn't mean to kill the poor little thing.
l only wanted to scare it away.
mo, l am not afraid of mice, either!
But didn't want it around my dressing
room. 1t takes more than a mouse to
scare me. Didn't you hear what L did
in Cincinnati?"
OF course there was one who had not
heard, and the story had to be told.
Last summer in Cincinnati" said
Miss MacDonough, there was a snake
charmer on the program the week
was there. She had big snakes and
little ones and all the intermediate
sizes. They were kept in willow baskets
in her dressing room and the men per-
formers used to joke about what would
happen if they should get out.
"At the Saturday matinee I was just
about through my turn when I heard a
woman in the audience scream. I was
standing at the right side of the stage
at the time just turning to march back,
beating quickstep on my drum.
Charms the Snake
Il heard the scream and saw the
cause at the same moment. Out of the
left entrance a great yellow and black
snake was calmly wriggling toward me.
Il wanted to faint, but couldn't.
couldn't novel couldn't even think
but my hands kept on beating out that
quickstep on the drum and that snake
kept on coming.
Suddenly l realized that I had only
to turn round and take two steps to be
in safety-and my nerve came back.
began a monotonous tattoo like l had
heard the snake charmers play on their
tom toms.
And Mr.. Snake just coiled himself up
in the center of the stage and listened
Then he began to tie himself into bow
knots and figure eights and all the
intricate figures that a snake ever
imagined.
Applause? Why I never heard the
like. Four times L had to drum that
horrid reptile through his crazy dance
or whatever you would call it, before
the audience would let me go. Then the
stage manager turned on the house
lights and announced the next act.
'Then 1 broke down and cried.
And that horrid woman said 1 did it
purposely and was trying to steal her
act. Well, when L have to use grease
paint an inch thick like she did may

"But afraid of mice? Well, not that

TO DETERMINE
LAUNDRY ZONE

Though Judge Olin Wellborn has
taken under advisement the test case
involving laundry zones in Los Angeles,
attorneys for the city take a very IA
vorable view of the situation by re-
marks made from the bench.
The litigation grows out of the at
tempt of one Chung to establish wash
house at Thompson and Twenty-second
streets in January in defiance of the
ordinance which mentions the lines Of
exclusion for these soap suds factories.
Chung was arrested at the instance
of nearby property owners, charged
with committing a misdemeanor, and
his lawyer appealed to the federal
court.
Restraining orders were issued
against Police Judge Rose and Assist
ant Prosecuting Attorney Guy Eddie
from proceeding with the case, and they
were cited to appear to show cause why
a permanent injunction should not lie.

5000 PARADE AT
SOLDIERS HOME
VETERANS TAKE PART IN MOST
IMPRESSIVE SERVICE
Living Heroes Pay Tribute to Dead
Before Largest Crowd of Soldiers
Ever Gathered in Southern
California

The living hero of his country yes
terday paid honor to his comrade who
has gone to the world beyond in what
were the most impressive exercises in
the history of the Soldiers home at
Sawtelle.
Visitors from far and near came to
take part in the services and the
largest crowd of veterans ever gath
cred in Southern California.
More than five thousand formed in
line and awaited marching orders for
the burying ground on the hill. White
haired vterans, many of them so dis
abled that they are hardly able to
walk. were out with the first beat of
the drum, and held their heads as
erectly as the youngest high school
cadet in line.
The pride of the soldier stirred in
their hearts and made them young
again. AS they gathered around the
graves in the cemetery and thought OF
the comrades, 1880 in ALL who had
fought with them and died in the home
thought, too, perhaps, that the time
is not far off when many more will be
laid to rest, there were tears in their
eyes. Great loads of flowers accom-
panied the procession to the cemetery
and beautiful girls in white gowns who
went from Sawtelle and Los Angeles
scattered the blossoms over the graves,
forming a carpet of bright hues.
At the head of the procession rode
Captain Francis McCourt of the Fifth
United States cavalry. He was dash
ing figure as the grand mrashal OF the
day and with him were his aids
Charles Landgraf, George K. Ober. II.
C. Deakins, and Charles F. Croft, all OF
them of the home and prominent in the
life of the institution.
Grand Army posts from other points
were also in the procession, as well as
high school cadets and children from
the public schools.
Ali who came were the guests OF
the home at dinner and later the ma
iority of the veterans and visitors at
tended the memorial exercises at Ward
Memorial hall.
The grafton of the day was delivered
oy Colonel James A. Davidson of Pasa-
iena, and poem written for the occa-
sion was read by N. w. Fitzgerald OF
Los Angeles. Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
1ress was read and there were patriot
&c airs by the Soldiers home band.
Seated upon the platform with Cen
eral o. H. LAGRANGE, governor of the |
nome, were the visiting members of the
1ational board, who arrived in Los An
yeles yesterday.

WOMEN WAG|NG
BILL BOARD FIGHT
Will Give Card Parties to Raise Funds
to Circulate Literature Against
the Vacant Lot
Evil

Mrs. j. g Kanst and other members
of the outdoor art league will keep
up their agitation against billboards
despite the legislation which the Los
Angeles city council has enacted, and
which is temporarily tied up in the
courts.
Early in June a party will be given at
the Woman's club house which for
want of better name is called a bill
board party. There will be more of
them.
Card games will be INDUCED in, and
it has been suggested that the markers
should be small flags on which the
names of business firms which do not
advertise on billboards should be
printed.
The idea is to let society women and
those having civic pride know which
firms refuse to support the billboard
men by taking their wall space.
With the money thus raised literature
will be freely distributed to arouse SEN
timent against the nuisance which all
large cities are now fighting.

HOLD SERVICE FOR
BENNINGTON BOYS
Waves at Balboa Are Covered with
Flowers and Cannons Doomed
Over Grave of Dead
Heroes

Hidden by the offerings of grateful
thousands, the dull waves of the Pa
cific were beautiful yesterday with the
floral tributes of the patriots VINO
gathered by the waters edge at Balboa
to pay a loving memorial to the dead
heroes beneath the waves.
1t was a solemn and impressive cere-
mony by the roaring waves, a ceremony.
that recalled to mind the devotion Of
the boys whose bodies rest in the deep.
The services yesterday were especially
commemorative of the Bennington dis
aster. The Sixth division of the Naval
reserves went to the seashore, and to-
gether with the 5000 or more visitors at
the beach did homage to the memory
of the boys who died in the disaster
The Newport chamber of commerce
had charge of the memorial services. In
the great auditorium the services were
held. Hon. Lee G. Gates made an ad-
dress. Assemblyman Clyde Bishop of
L. Hartwell, E. ]. Lewis and others
also spoke. The Santa Ana quartet
sang several numbers, and the Whit
tier Cadet band played patriotic airs.
In the open the services were even
more beautiful and impressive. The
sailor boys had brought down a Hotch-
kiss gun on the cars, I'd several vol
lies were fired over the waves. linen,
from every point on the big pier thou
sands upon thousands of gorgeous bios
SONS were scattered on the waves till
every incoming breaker seemed to be
crested with flowers.
Among the thousands was one offer
ing not for sailor boy. A mother and
little son threw in the floral piece. 1t
was a large wreath, almost five feet in
diameter, great and splendid, seemingly
the costliest offering of the day. Across
the top was a white attn ribbon bear
ing the words, ITO My Dear Marie" )"
Like the others, it was thrown to the
waves, a tribute to a daughter or sis
ter who slept where the seaweeds grow.

SEE ARNOLD WAS
NJ GILL s ADVICE
Defendant in Civil Service Trial Now
Charged with Delaying Time Blanks
of Employees Who Ignored
"Subtreasury"

Though the prosecution has con-
cluded it's presentation of the case
against former Secretary William Nc
Gill of the board of health before the
| civil service commission, alleging in
subordination and incompetency, the
testimony at the trial developed addi-
tional indiscretions to which the COM
missioners gave heed, though they were
not specified in the charges as pre-
ferred. tHt
These included delays in making out
the pay rolls for employees of the de-
partment who would not or could not
afford to have their warrants Shaved
by Money Lender George Arnold, whose
operations have recently been stopped
at the city hall by Mayor Harper.
Both Health Commissioner Powers
and Acting Secretary Henry Sief gave
it as their belief that there was no col
fusion between McGill and Arnold, and
that he was getting no commission.
Former Quarantine Guards T. H.
West and l.. A. Majors in their testi-
mony insisted that their own expert
ences and those of other employees with
whom they talked were that McGill
suggested to them that they get the
money due them. from Arnold, as it
would be the most expeditions way, and
they found that McGill carried Ar
nold's blanks in his desk.
Delayed Requisitions
"McGill was supposed to make these
requisitions out by the first of the
month following the month in which
we worked said West, but he would
plead that he hadn't time or had over

wait for weeks. / grew so tired of
these delays that I confined my in
quiries to the treasurer's and auditors

would be made out on Arnold's blanks.

Former Quarantine Guard L. A.

with his demands at times he could
avoid doing business with Arnold.

FAMINE IN CHINA
Is BROKEN AT LAST
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, May 3O-The famine
which has prevailed for many weeks.
causing hundreds of deaths and great
suffering, has been broken. The crops
are still thin but the hot weather of
the past month has been favorable to
a good yield.
American gifts have supplied milk
regularly to 1905 babies at the Bsu Chou
Flu temple, while 200 more have been
nourished occasionally. The children
are left with their parents or relations
as the Chinese dread foreign orphan
ages.
What is left of the gifts will be turned
over to the Red Cross society to re-
lieve individual cases of need and to
grapple with the next crisis.
