ROBBERS FRACTURE RIB
Physicians Fear Internal Injuries May
Have Resulted from Assault

C. e. Henie, 46, living at 241 Isabel
street, was the victim of brutal assault
during the early hours of Sunday
morning.
He says the assault occurred on North

brutally. When he was taken to the
receiving hospital his face was swollen
to twice it's natural size and his eyes were
mere Sits in his head
The doctors say that the eleventh rib
on the right side of his body is badly
fractured and that he may have received
internal injuries.
When Henie regained consciousness yes
terday he asked for a detective. He told
the officer that the men had robbed him
of $13 which he had in purse in his
pocket.
He said that after the five men had
knocked him down the youngest went
through his clothes while the others held
him and kept a lookout.
When he had been searched the young
est man said:
THAT'S all, boys Let him go; we don't
want anything more. Let's make our get
away"
With that they disappeared in the dark

The New Herald Greeted with Enthusiasm

THE appearance of yesterdays Her
aid, with it's new ownership, its new
\ management, its splendid declara-
ton of principles, it's fresh, clean news
and it's new dress, created much enthu-
siasm throughout the city.
In all circles there were approving COM
ments and hundreds of expressions OF
good will.
For you must remember that The Her.
old is a household affair in Los Angeles.
1t is an institution which for thirty
four years has contended stoutly for the
upbuilding of this city and for the glory
of Southern California. 1t has always
stood by the people and had large share
in all the history of this great city. Sons
and daughters are today reading The
Herald just as their fathers and mothers
read 1t, and it is the favorite newspaper
of thousands who have grown up with 1t.
The Herald being, therefore, the home
paper of Los Angeles, its progress and
it's prosperity are important subjects of
home discussion.
Men and women of prominence spoke
their minds commendingly yesterday of
the new Herald, and many were the tele-
phone messages of congratulation which
came into the Office during the afternoon
and night
Merchants, lawyers, ministers, working
men and all classes of people united in
expressing their Endorsement, particularly
of the vigorous declaration of principles
and the bright appearance of the house.

1t was but natural that city and county
officials and political partisans generally
should early give their opinion, and these

their fortunes with those of The Herald.

The 400 men under the command of Col.

JAPANESE WIPER SPITS ON
AMERICAN FLAG
WRESTLING ABILITY AND LEGS
SAVE HIS LIFE
Indignant Crowd of Outraged Ameri'
cans Quickly Gather and Start to
Deal HarshIy with Little
Brown Man

To his ability as wrestler ana MS
speed as a runner I. Yoki, Japanese
wiper who has been employed at the
Southern Pacific round house. owes his
escape from great bodily injury and per-
haps death itself at the hands of an
enraged mob of American Worklnsnen
yesterday afternoon.
The offense for which these Americans
would have wreaked vengeance upon the
Japanese was the desecration of an
American flag.
With contemptuous reference to the
Stars and Stripes Yoki in the presence
of a number of round house employees
spat upon a small flag which was flying
from a big mogul engine in the round
house and Immediately was attacked by
these men, and their numbers were
quickly augmented by other workmen
in the shops and yards. After short
but fierce struggle, in which the Japan
ese was roughly handled, he managed to
twist himself from the grasp of the in
furiated men and made his escape by
lodging and running.
The police were telephoned for, but be-
fore they could interfere the incident was
over and the Japanese had got to a
place of hiding.
Was Faithful Worker
Yoki has been employed around the
Southern Pacific round house for some
time.
He was a faithful and competent work
er for the position, his duties being to
clean the brasses and bright work of
the engines and to remove the dust and
oil and grease which accumulated on the
big machines.
Yesterday afternoon he was perform
ing his usual duties. He was at work on
a big mogul road engine which was be-
ing prepared to go out.
The engineer of the locomotive had
decorated the cab with two American
flags which flew from either side of the
gangway. Witnesses tell the story as
follows:
AS Yoki was wiping the brass work in
the cab another workman came by and
made some reference to the flag which
was gently waving in the breeze near
him.
With an expression of contempt on his
face the Japanese turned and deliberate
ly spat on the little flag. An instant
later he probably wished he had not
done so. With an exclamation of rage
the workman jumped for the cab and
dragged the Japanese from his position
y With cry he informed several other
workmen of the occurrence, but num-
ber of the men, including the foreman
had witnessed the incident. and it was
a wild crowd that quickly surrounded
the now trembling Japanese.
Fights Desperately
Thrown and Knocked first this way and
then that and with other Americans
quickly gathering the Japanese fought
with strength born of desperation. He
turned and twisted until he finally broke
through the crowd and lodging between
outbuildings and cars made his way rap
idly out of the yard.
In the meantime the round house fore
man had teleDhOned TO the DOlice of the
trouble and asked if the Japanese should
be brought to the station. He was first
ordered to arrest him, but when it was
found that he had got away and that
the trouble was over the police dropped
the matter.

reunion will not be under way I'LL TO-
morrow upward of 10000 Elks have en-
rolled their names at the official regis
tration bureau since Saturday. AS a
preliminary to the convention the Phil

Grafton at the present session.
Elk's Tooth Becomes Feature
The discarding of the elk's tooth as an
emblem of the order, though it has never
been an official emblem of the order, is
one of the important matters that Will be
taken up The destruction of the elks
to secure the teeth, the foisting of cheap
imitation elks teeth upon members OF

among the causes that led to the aglta-
ton.
The election of delegates will also take

ton there will be special entertainments,
excursions given for visitors in this and
surrounding places. All of this will be
free to members of the fraternity,

Brave PAPER Wanted

Robert G. Loucks-I am glad to hear
the new Herald is to be independent on
local affairs. We need more independent
organs. The people of Los Angeles only
want square deal, and they will well
come enthusiastically the paper brave
enough to give it to them. In my opinion
this is the only policy for Democratic
paper to pursue. Let it be a progressive
paper, paper not afraid to fight We
need newspaper that is not afraid of a
finish fight in such matters, for instance,
as the franchise tax. A paper which
won't take hold of such a proposition as
that is more conservative than the presi-
dent of the United States, for he is doing
in the nation just what some of us here
are trying to do locally-make the big
corporations pay their just share of
taxes.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-15

newspapers should be non-partisan. That
is President Roosevelt's theory, is it not :?
A newspaper should be free to support
good men for office, irrespective of party
affiliations, and 1 believe The Herald
conducted on those lines, should succeed
There Is a place for such a paper in Los
Angeles, particularly for a paper that
will oppose machine rule. With Mr. He
ney, 1 believe the Southern Pacific rail-
road has done more to debauch Califor-
MIA politics than any other corporation or
organization in the state. l imagine the
Southern Pacific will be one of the new
Herald's dear enemies, and l trust and
believe that the paper, under it's new
management, will realize the menace in
railroad control of political parties,
whether the dominant party be Repub-
lican or Democratic. The danger is not
only to the state; it is to the party itself
Certainly the people soon will cut away
from party so controlled.
