PIONEERS FUNERAL
COLONEL JOSEPH D. LYNCH is
BURIED
Old Friend Reads the Burial Ritual,
but Requiem Mass Is Postponed
on Account of Good
Friday

Solemn but simple ceremonies marked
the passing of Col. Joseph D. Lynch,
one of California's famous pioneer jour-
nalists, and a man we'll known outside
the confines of the state. Col. Lynch
was the founder of The Los Angeles
Herald and was for many years one of
the leading newspaper men in Southern
California.
A brief service was held at the I'M
dertaking parlors of Cunningham &
OConnor. The principal services We're
held at the cathedral of st. Vibiana.
1t being Good Friday, and, according
to the laws of the church, no requiem
mass being allowed on that day, the
simple burial ritual was read by Rt.
Rev. Mgr. Harnett, for many years
pastor and friend of the deceased. In
terment was made in Calvary cemetery
A requiem mass will be celebrated for
the repose of the soul of Col. Lynch
in the near future.
The funeral service was largely at
tended by pioneers of the state, friends
OF the deceased and fellow journalists
from the various newspapers of the
city. The following acted as pallbear-
ers: Richard Malloy, Richard Dillon,
c. c. Desmond, John Kenealy, G. w.
Burton and Harry Chandler.
The floral tributes weer many and
beautiful, including magnificent piece
from The Los Angeles Herald.

ANTI-LIQUoR ZONE

The only effectual way to hedge the
liquor traffic in Los Angeles Is to make
the zone plan apply to the wholesale
trade as we'll as to saloons and restau-
rants. So long as it is possible to OBJ
tain a license by trick and device"
or such 'fim-fiam" as seems to have
been practi-ed in obtaining the West
Third street license a new liquor shop
may spring up at any time like a
mushroom in the night.
There is no reason why the wholesale
liquor traffic should not be restricted
within certain limits as we'll as the re-
tail liquor business. That conclusion
is particularly pertinent in regard to
of wholesale liquor concern in a dis
trict like the location in West Third
street. The point for --hich that Ii
cense was obtained, by C,vious method,
trict. The purpose OF it's promoters
evidently is to do a small package bus
mess chiefy-to sell in the smallest
quantities allowable to law. the stuff
to be carried away in pockets.
Such wholesale liquor traffic as evil
IDENTIFY is confer ~' I'd in West Third
really is more baneful than the ordi-
nary saloon. In the latter class OF
liquor dispensaries a man will guzzle
his drink and depart, knowing that
when his appetite demands another
drink it is easily obtainable. At such
a wholesale concern as the one in ques-
tion, however, the guzzler knows that
there is no other source of supply any
where near. and so he is likely to lay
in a blind drunk" stock of booze.
The sentiment Of the entire communi-
ty of Los Angeles is so pronounced
against any extension whatever Of the
liquor traffic beyond its present limits
that the zone method of protection
should be broadened at once TO cover
the wholesale trade. There Is no doubl
that reputable wholesale dealers woulC
favor such restriction, as there is M
more reason for extending their theatel
Of legitimate business outside the gen
eral business district than there woulC

tors found the picturesque group OF
lPolynesian and Oriental buildings deco
rated I'm their honor. The American
flag was flying from the main fagstaff.
When the train slowed up the Ellis
quintet club, it's members in white
suits ran ahead and gave a welcome
Of Hawaiian melodies in the pavilion.
Mr. Damon told the people the place
was theirs for the day. one of the
party stepped forward and decorated
Mr.. Damon with one of their buttons,
when he exclaimed 'Moanalua Is en-
tirely yours now" There was music
all the afternoon, the Hawaiian band
alternating with the Ellis club. Great
and admiring attention was paid to the
music, while the pleasures of the eye
were fully enjoyed. The visitors were
enchanted with the great pleasure
ground and thronged the greenhouses,
admiring the splendid orchids, ferns
and roses. while the lily pond was an
other great delight to them. Also the
grass houses with their native furnish-
ings, mats, bed, calabashes and cook
ing utensils were objects of great in
terest. The tea houses, the lagoons,
and bridges were all inspected, and the
entire company was served with coffee
and other refreshments by the generous
host.
Liquid Sunshine
Moanalua never appeared to better
advantage. the lawns and plants shar-
ing the beneficial effects of the abund-
ant rains. There was even treat Of
Hawairs "liquid sunshine" a light
shower from a clear blue sky. Secre-
tary Wood of the promotion committee
pointed to the sun shower, the clouds
on the mountains and rainbow, all in
evidence. and told the visitors that the
typical Hawaiian weather was giving
a star performance in their honor.
So charming was the entire expert
ence that the visitors had the train held
an hour over the appointed time for
departure. 1t returned to town at $3.50,
three cheers being given for Mr. Damon
as 1t left the station. Most enthusi-
astic were the expressions of the Cali
fornians regarding the beauties of the
place-the expansive lowlands check
cred with rice fields, the mountains in
the distance and a superb piece Of
landscape gardening in the midst.
They appreciated not least the princely
hospitality of the host in the afternoon.
THAT is the first time I have seen
men plowing with hogs" was the un-
sophisticated remark of one man at
sight of the water buffaloes working in
a rice field. 1t happened that a large
number of these Oriental draft animals
were performing on one plantation, and
the visitors nearly tipped the train
over by flocking to one side to see
them.
The strenuous day closed with a
band concert at the Royal Hawaiian
Hotel at o'clock, followed by an in
formal dance.

be for so extending the wholesale dry
goods or grocery business.
The method by which the Third street
license was secured should be sufficient
to induce the council at once to block
any future game Of the kind by estab-
fishing the wholesale liquor zone at
once. And the success Of that Third
street scheme will arouse public senti-
ment to the Importance of insisting on
curbing every class Of the traffic so
thoroughly that no loophole of any kind
will be left open for evasion.

Thursday afternoon charged with beg
ging, was sentenced to 80 days on the
chain gang yesterday afternoon by Po-
lice Justice Chambers.

paralyzed. and that on this account he
was unable to work. Justice Cham

ing what he was doing moved his
"paralyzed" arm and 1t was seen the
arm was perfectly healthy
1t WIS found the man was able to
control his muscles so as to make the
arm appear dislocated from the shoul-
der.
John Shears, Hazards companion
in misfortune, received a sentence of
sixty days on the chain gang.
