DETECTIVES INVESTIGATING
NEGRO SHOOTING SCRAPE

Peter Holly, a negro waiter living al
252 Winston street, who was shot In the
right knee by Dan Lewis, another negro
at III Gladys avenue early yesterday
morning, was taken to the receiving
hospital by the police, and Lewis was
locked up on suspicion.
Holly says that he had been living at
the house at III Gladys avenue until
week ago, when he moved to Winston
street. He left some of his belongings
at the former place, and late Saturday
night went back to get them. Lewis
was angry, and Holy feared trouble.
He went to the police station and asked
for an officer to go with him to the
place. He was told to come back on
Sunday morning.
He saws that after this he went back
to the house on Gladys avenue and went
into the back yard. Then he changed
his mind about going into the house and
decided to come back in the morning.
Then as he was going out of the place
he says that he heard Lewis say some
thing about Holly" The next moment
a bullet entered his right leg. He says
that Lewis fired the shot.
The police say the negroes have been
doing considerable fighting among
themselves lately, and it is very hard
to find out who is responsible, because
no one will tell on anyone else.
The detectives are investigating the
case

SEARCH HERE FOR
MISSING DOCTOR
Believed That Berkeley Man Who
MysteriousIy Disappeared May
Be Hidden in Los
Angeles

OF the many mysterious disappear
ances of we'll known Californians few
present stranger features than does
the case of DR.. Fred H. Van Tassle,
prominent physician of Berkeley, for
whom the Los Angeles police depart
ment is searching. The aid of the local
force has been enlisted by the officers of
San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley.
Van Tassle disappeared from his home
in Berkeley about two weeks ago, and
in spite of diligent search maintained
by influential relatives and the police
departments of coast cities his where
abouts remain mystery. No known
reason exists for Van Tassle's sudden
departure from Berkeley. His habits
were good; he had an excellent practice
and his standing was high in profess
sional and social circles of the univer-
sity town.
Theories that he was murdered or
shanghaied have been advanced, but no
evidence has been found to bear out
either supposition. In the meantime
every possible effort is being made to
find the young physician. If he is still
living it is thought he may be in Los
Angeles. He is described as 28 years
old, of light complexion, clean shaven,
weighs about 145 pounds and when last
seen he wore a dark plaid suit, black
derby hat and long black overcoat.
Van Tassle was a member of the
Modern Woodmen order, and that or
ganization is assisting in the search for
him.

YOUNG MEN ARE THE
NATIONS DEPENDEN CIES

Those who attended the Y. M. c. A.
meeting Sunday afternoon were well
repaid for their trouble by the music
of the Comrades" chorus and quartet.
The young men, none of whom are
over 21, have been training only a
short time, and the audience was sur
prised and delighted by the progress
that they have made. With little
more effort they will place themselves
high in the musical circles of the city.
The address by oscar B. Smith on
our Young Men: The Hope of the
Nation" showed very plainly that the
future of our nation depends on the
young men of today AS he stated:
"The strength of structure Is In its
foundation, just so with a nation. Our
Young men are the foundation of the
nation. If their foundation is weakened
by intemperance and vice the nation
will surely fall. The young men
strengthened by Christ will make so so
firm a foundation that the nation puilt
upon their strength will be ideal. AS
our young men SOW their wild oats,
Just SO they weaken the nation 1or
the wild oats sown today by the young
men will be reaped by the nation to-
morrow"

MEXICAN is ARRESTED
ON BURGLARY CHARGE

George Mendoza was arrested yester-
day afternoon by Patrolmen Leon and
Gilpin and booked at the central sta
ton on charge of burglary. 1t is said
by the police that he broke into a
trunk in the room of woman living
at 734 San Fernando street yesterday
and took 500 which he found there
The woman keeps boarders and the
money had just been given to her by
them. Mendoza lives at the place, and
when he discovered the money was in
the trunk he went after 1t.
The first the police heard of the
trouble was when Chris Bendenhelst
rushed up to Patrolman Gilpin and
told him a man was trying to kill a
woman on San Fernando street. Gilpin
started to the place described by the
man. When he arrived he saw a wo-
man running up an alley with a man
pursuing her. He took after the two
and cornered the man by running him
into a high fence. Then Patrolman
Leon came up and they sent the man
Mendoza to the station. Mendoza will
be arraigned today.

CORNER STONE LAID FOR
HIGHLAND PARK CHURCH

On a beautiful elevated spot the
corner stone of the Highland Park
Methodist church was laid Saturday
afternoon, corner Avenue Fifty-f1ve and
Ash street. The foundation and the
floor of the new church building had
been laid, which formed a convenient
place for the congregation to meet for
the service, although the sun sShone
brightly, bringing the umbrellas into
evidence for shade.
Rev. S. A. Thomson, presiding elder
of the Pasadena district, had charge OF
the service assisted by Rev. E. H. Jack
/ son, pastor of the church, and other
Methodist ministers.
The ministers on the platform were
Revs. S. A. Thomson, j. B. Green, pre-
siding elder of the Fresno district; A
w. Atkinson, presiding elder of the Los
Angeles district; e. A. Healy, e. H
Jackson, ]. Nicholson, P. H. Bodkin, t
C. Horton. c. w. Tarr, DR.. Wishard anG
Rev. E. P. Berry.
| Rev. E. H. Healy, pastor of the Uni
versity Methodist church, preached ar
eloquent sermon on the duties of re-
| ligious people in laying church founda'
tions and establishing churches, follow
| ing which the corner stone was laic
with impressive ceremonies.
| The church was organized about
| three years ago by Rev. E. II. McIn-
tire, who died some time ago. Rev. Mr.
Jackson, the present pastor, has beer
| in charge about two years with marked
success, the membership having beer
doubled from 120 when he first came tC
the pastorate.
The present church site is a great inn
provement over the original site. Ar
exchange of property was made to the
advantage of the church in placing II
in more central location and on an
elevated spot, overlooking the lower
part of Highland Park and a con
venient distance from the cars to avoid
the noise
The portable church building which
has been in use ever since the organiza-
tion of the church will be removed
from the lot adjoining the new church
to another church field. The parsonage
which was moved back to give place fol
the new church, will be moved where
the portable church now is.
| The church will be built of concrete
and the whole property will be worth
about $4,000 when the improvements are
completed.

Queen Sophia and Bismarck.

Queen Sophia of the Netherlands, the first wife of King William III. of Hol- land, was too great friend of Elm peror Napoleon III., the Empress Eu- genie and of France generally to take kindly to Bismarck. Before the big war of 1870 and probably some time after the Luxembourg squabble there was an international exhibition in Am sterdam, which the queen visited. She was conducted over the whole place by t4e committee, and as they came to a dertain section one of the members said, "Now your majesty will see the greatest enemy of Germany" "Ah, Bismarck" she cried, with some glee. The members stood aghast and never repeated this rash exclamation. The "greatest enemy" he had to exhibit was not, of course, Bismarck at all. but only very much enlarged repro duction of either the phylloxera or the Colorado beetle, which at that time did . great deal of harm to German agri- culture.-W' 'estminster Gazette,

-.------ The MPull" and the Job.

pusiness men are constantly being ,estered by young men who seek posi- lions through letters of reeommenda- +lon often in the form of personal re- quests from fellow business men. One m(ay we'll question whether these let tsSs have any great pulling power ofter all. The Saturday Evening Post falls of such an instance. After being very politely dismissed by several mana gers with the stereotyped express sion that there was not a vacancy at nresent the young man tore up the let ters and went back to the place last visited.
 "What can I do for you now?" the manager asked ill an annoyed tone.
 "Pardon me- said the young man, "but I've just torn up those letters. Could you give me job on my own hook?"
 The manager looked amused and said: "We need a young fellow to chip castings in the machine shop at SC week. If you like, you can have that until something better turns up"

Blue Eyed Rahies.

It is pity that all babies born with the prospect of being adopted out of an orphan asylum are not blessed with blue eyes. Most persons who wish to adopt children show a prefer. ence for the blue eyed variety.
 They seem to think" said the ma tron of one such institution, that blue eyes give promise of great intelligence honesty and general stability of char acter. That Is pretty hard on the youngsters with eyes of brown. black gray or hazel. Undoubtedly those cl.i,- dren will grow up to be just as worthy citizens as the blue eyed tots, but it is impossible to make most of the pro. spective parents-in-law believe SO. They have been influenced by the ar guments of certain half baked scieD- t1fic writers who claim that all the vi,. tues are found ill blue eyes, and the dark eyed children, no matter what their parentage suffer from the dis crimination."-New York Sun.

On opening his copy of the Weekly Bugle one morning. and, turning first, as was his regular habit, to that particular corner, he was surprised and gratified beyond meas ure to see his name in full appended to his latest poetical outbreak.
 He hastened to call at the office of the Bugle.
 ''Mr. St;res," he said to the editor, 'I want to thank you for signing my !. name to my poem in this weeks paper. t enco :rages a fellow when he gets sproper credit for his york;

The Old Warmino Pan.

"Yes, that is a fine specimen of the old brass warming pan," said an anna teur collector of antiques, quoted by the Philadelphia Record, "but 1t hangs on the wall from this time on. It will not be brought into acquisition for ac. tual warming purposes again. It's too good.' Then he added contemplatiye- ly: My daughter thought 1t would re. new the ancient flavor of things to put that warming pan to use. So on one of the coldest nights of the winter she filled the pan end with live coals, shut the lid and put the pan into one of the beds. In little while the house was filled with smoke, which, on being traced to it's origin, was found to come from the bed, which was afire. With few ohen time wood embers these warming pans were all right, but with live anthracite they simply oyerdo the job. We put out the fire, but, as I say, from this time on the warming pan hangs on the wall empty"

Hich Game and Fools,

"Never eat game high" said an anti quary. People will tell you that high game is tenderer. What rot! Of course 1t is tenderer, but would you want your steak or your chop spoiled in order that it might be little softer to the teeth? No. never! Highness in game is an anachronism. a relic of the past, a relic of the days of stage coaches. In those days 1t was impos- sible to deliver game to the cities fresh transit was too slow. All game was high, and men ate it high because oth- erwise they couldn't eat it at all; hence to eat game high nowadays. when there is no necessity for it, is to be fool"-Cincinnati Enquirer.
