BOSTON, April 21.-Heres a chance

young players we invariably study the

everything. Mistakes do not bother
them; they are looking to make plays.
If one is missed they go for the next
one just the same. If victories come
your way, don't forget to praise the
vanquished. Remember that you had
to work to win. The closer the fight
the more praise to the loser. They
were good enough to make you go the
limit. If defeated, take the defeat in
manly fashion, admit the other fellows

Don't blame the umpire. Just nurse
the blow and work to strengthen the

The proposition came up during prac-

About the time that forty shriner
specials from various parts of the coun-
try are setting out for the imperial
council at Los Angeles AL Malaikah
temple of Los Angeles will be swelling
It's membership by an immense initia-
tion which will confer on 300 citizens
the right to wear the red fez and mingle
with the mobiles from abroad during the
week of festivity. The initiation will
take place at the Venice auditorium
on the night of Saturday, April q, and
Will be followed by the largest banquet
ever given in California. Upon this oc-
casion 1t is is expected that nearly
every one of the 1740 members will be
present to discuss final plans for the re-
exception of their brethren.
Al Malaikah temple will maintain
headquarters and entertain lavishly
during the week of the council. and
thousands of beautiful souvenirs i'm
ported from Germany, will be given to
visiting Shriners Fully 1900 members
of the local temple are expected to par
ticipate in the first electrical parade.
Tuesday night, May Z.
One of the features which will be of
immense practical value will be an in
formation and registration bureau to be
maintained in the Masonic temple on
Hill street. Here the visitors are ex-
pected to register upon arrival and
here souvenirs will be distributed.
Through the information department il
will be made possible to locate any of
the visitors at their temporary ad-
dresses in this city.
Visitors Exceed Expectations
According to latest reports, the actual
number of visitors will exceed all first
estimates. Special trains to the num-
Der of forty will begin arriving MAY 2.
and latest advices from eastern railroad
centers are to the effect that demand
for additional Pullman coaches has been
practically exhausted and that several
temples have been disappointed in the
effort to- secure special accommoda-
tions.
In this city the demand for accommo-
dations has been unprecedented. En-
tire floors of leading hotels have been
engaged for the week by visiting dele
cations, but up to this time there has
been no difficulty in providing shelter
for thousands of delegates who will
travel by regular trains and who have
sent notice of their coming.
Five of the largest delegations travel
ing by special train will come under
direction of McCanns Tours, Inc. and
the travellers will spend from twenty
four to thirty days on the Journey to
Los Angeles and back. The cost to each
passenger will be from 5000 to $3.50. The
temples are Mecca of New York, Kis-
met of Brooklyn, Rajah of Reading,
Pa; Ismailia of Buffalo and Damascus
of Rochester. The delegates will all re-
main full week in this city, and the
preparations have been widely adVer-
tised throughout the east.

.LAMBARD| STAR
WILL SING AGAIN

Esther Adaberto will sing at the Au-
ditorium Tuesday night. To the An
geleno who has been in this city since
last November that statement is suf-
ficient; for the tourist a word of eX-
PLANTATION may be necessary.
Since November g. when Esther Ad-
ALBERTO as the stellar attraction of the
Lambardi opera company dedicated the
great Temple auditorium, Los Angeles
music lovers have been hers for the
asking. The opening aria of Verdfs
aida" settled her place in their affec-
tions and during the weeks that fol-
lowed, while the rest of the company
fell in popular estimation, Adaberto's s
star was even in the ascendency.
At the concert Tuesday night which
Professor Bruce Gordon Kingsley will
give in the "theater beautiful" the tall
ented soprano will be one of the star
attractions, Professor Kingsley at the
organ being the other Adaberto's Sc
lections will comprise some of the most
popular hits of her operate career. A
romance from Verdi's III Trovatore" is
her first number followed by the cele-
brated "Jewel Song" from Faust" one
OF the best known pieces of that pop
ular opera. The peculiarly fetching
"Ava Maria" from "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" will be another one of her Sc
lectlOnS, ana the lllneSOine song OF tne
Birds" from "PPagliacci," viii close
her part of the program. The beauti-
full prima donna has in times past been
liberal with her eneores; 1t is probable
that she win respond to popular de-
mand with several other favorites.
Professor Kingsley's contributions to
the program will be of no less high
class than those of the diva. DR.
Kingsley gained degrees from oxford
and Cambridge and is we'll known in
London, where for many years he of
ficiated at the great organ In ST. Pauls
cathedral. He will open the program
with the prelude to Wagner's "Die
Meistersinger." An overture to Merry
Wives of Windsor" by Verdi. will fol-
low. Suppe's overture, Poet and Peas
ant" viii conclude the first part OF the
program.
In the second Professor Kingsley will
appeal to the student. his first number
being Bach's &c Minor Fantasie in
Fuge" In the next number, "Andante

sohn, DR.. Kingsley will introduce to the

FIRST CHIEF OF POLICE WORE
THE BADGE
Member Of the Force When Los An
geIes Was In Swaddling Clothes
Tells Its Romantic
History

Only a broken spear of an old po-
lice star, with rusted point and tar
nished surface picked up in the police
station and carelessly tossed aside by
a patrolman who little knew its his
tory. Then turned over to reporter
with thoughtless jest, but soon to
take it's place in a local museum, where
It will be gazed at with respect by all
faithful Angelenos who love the city,
its history and all relics of the days
when the pioneers fought to build the
present city beautiful.
Here take this and weave a story
around it," said a policeman to a re-
porter yesterday, tossing him the
broken point of the star. Look up its
history and you may find something
exciting"
The piecc of steel was caught and
examined by the reporter. 1t was at
once seen that it was a piece of an
old star and speculations as to whose
breast it had once adorned ran through
his mind. Who had worn it and what
beat had he walked? What strange
adventures did he have and how often
had that little badge of authority OF
which the spear was the part serve as
defender of the peace?
Chief Ignorant of History
AS these thoughts passed through
the reporters mind he resolved to seek
out the history of the star and learn,
If he could, the identity of the man
who had worn it.
First inquiry was made of Chief Ed
Kern. The head of the police depart
ment gazed at it for moment ana
then handed it back with the words:
"I never saw it before. A piece of
some old police star, but 1 know moth
ing about it."
Captain Paul Flammer head OF the
detective bureau, was next asked, and
he also expressed ignorance or the star
or it's previous history.
Captain Walter Auble, formerly chief
of police and one of the Oldest men on
the department, was also questioned
"I suppose the spear has some MS
tory" he said, "as it seems TO De an
old one. You will notice the ball at the
end is fiat, while the balls on the pres

not know more about it.
Henry Clay Walker, property clerk
and q man who has served on the de-
partment for nearly twenty-five years
was next seen. Walker knew nothing
about the star from which the spear
came and also returned it to the re-
porter.
"Why don't you ask old Ed NUT NUT
| dock? You will find him around emma
town and he served with the depart
ment more than twenty-seven years
ago and should be able to tell you
about it," said patrolman,. and the
reporter hastened to the d1strlct WHERE
the Chinese make their homes.
There he found old Ed Murdock', A
stopped, gray-haired man, well past ~
years, but still strong and hearty.
Have you ever seen this before ano a nc,
can you tell us anything about lt?''
asked the reporter, and he at once
knew that the secret would soon be
his, as the old policeman's eyes bright
ened and he gasped the small piece Oh
steel with eager hand. :.
"Where did you get this? Give 1t
to me-" said Murdoch, with eager
voice, and then his tones faltered as
he went on and related the history OF
the broken spear"

CONVICTED WOMAN
RELEASED ON BAIL
ACCUSED MURDERESS GIVEN
FREEDOM
Waits for Supreme Court to Deter.
mine If She May Have a New
Trial or Must Serve
Sentence

Miss Margaret Williamson, convicted
of the killing of Richard Saunders Per-
ry, yesterday spent the first day of
freedom she has known in the past
two years, enjoyed the first day out
side the walls of the county jail since
her Incarceration there following the
killing of Perry.
Late Saturday afternoon another
bondsman was found for the woman,
and with the three necessary property
holders willing to sign for her release
the order was quickly made, the bond
approved by Judge Smith of department
one of the superior court and the
woman's release assured.
Yesterday morning when the little old
woman awoke she was given her bond
papers and told that she was free to
go where she wanted to until such time
as the supreme court would find time
to consider her appeal and decided
whether she can have a new trial or
whether she must face twenty-year
penitentiary sentence,
Case Is Peculiar
The Williamson case is admittedly
one of the most peculiar in the annals
Of crime in Los Angeles county. Perry,
the victim, was young man studying
for the ministry and was thought by all
who knew him to be a boy of good
ways.
Shortly before the tragedy he came
to Los Angeles to resume his study here
after spending some time in Pomona
working in the orange groves. Upon
his arrival in Los Angeles he went to
a cheap boarding house on West First
street and secured lodgings. Margaret
Williamson was proprietor of the place
and 1t was her first meeting with the
man whom two weeks later she shot
dead because he had become too famil-
lar with her
How the little old Scotch woman
could possibly appeal to Perry is still
mystery. Her temper was bad, her
eyes small and squinty her appearance
anything but prepossessing, and yet
Perry began to make advances to the
spinster.
Resented Advances
She resented these advances and Or
dered him to leave her house, which he
did, only to return, and after fight
between them Perry was killed. Stoutly
maintaining her innocence and alleg-
ing that in defense of her honor she
had tried to scare Perry into leaving
the house, Miss Williamson fought for
her life and was convicted of murder
in the second degree, receiving a SEN
tence of twenty years imprisonment in
the state prison. That was nearly two
years ago. and since that time the
woman has been in the county Jail.
Recently it was learned that, op-
pressed by the awful solitude. Miss
Williamson was becoming demented
and an effort was made to secure her
release, but the effort failed and Miss
Williamson lost hope.
The second time a physicians certi-
ficate to the effect that If Miss William =
son was not granted freedom she would
die, attracted the attention of Judge
Smith and he called a hearing, which
resulted in allowing the woman free
dom on bail until her case is settled
by the supreme court

little time to work on the scheme sug-

with the idea of civic beauty and prog

What You Want
and What You Get

Usually when man pays out his money for
anything, he gets what he wants. or there's a
good, strong kick for the man who sold him
disappointment.
Why isn't this true of cigar purchases?
Why has the public been so long-sufering
with cigar manufacturers? Why will man pay
out his good money for poor cigars ?
It's hard to say. But it's easy enough to see
how great many manufacturers take advant-
age Of this careless buying, and unload inferior
cigars on unsuspecting purchasers. This finn
flaming game can't last forever.
Smokers every day are waking up more and
more to the fact that
Cigars are nOLD made better
than eUer they Dere.
Smokers can tell good cigars when they
smoke them-and they are fast finding out that
cigars in boxes stamped with the "Triangle A"
are invariably of better quality than cigars
which are not guaranteed in this way
The "Triangle A" on a cigar box is sign of
honest cigar values and that's just exactly what
the American smoking public has wanted for
many day.
The better value we are able to produce
through our new scientific manufacturing meth
DDS is particularly noticeable in

Frank Daniels. in "The Tattoed
Man. this seasons vehicle provided
for him by his manager, Charles Dill

because the piece is humorous-al-

for the reason that he could not help

paroxysms of mirth.
Some of the lines which Harry B.
