MANY EDUCATORS
MAKE HARD WORK
HOTEL COMMITTEE HAS GIGAN-
TIC TASK
Must Provide Accommodations for
$4,000 to $4,000 Members of N. E.
ACQUISITION of Headquar-
ters Is Puzzlng

To provide hotel accommodations
for from $4,000 to $4,000 pedagogues,
educators and their friends is the her.
culean task confronting c. A. Parme~
lee, chairman of the hotel committee
for the National Educational associa-
ton convention, which will meet in
this. city in July.
1t is conservatively estimated that
Los Angeles can entertain, lodge and
feed $4,000 tourists at one time. The
N. e. A. headquarters claim that the
visitors who will come here in July
will number anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000.
In years past there have been enough
tourists in the city during July to
keep the hotels open, and there is eV-
cry probability that there will be sew
eral thousand transients in the city
this year during convention time, ex-
elusive of the educators themselves.
Ergo, it is "up to- the committee to
provide in advance for the city's in
vited guests.
The work of the committee is con-
siderably increased by the fact that
not all of the visitors will go to regu-
lar hotels. A request has come to
Chairman Parmelee from the N. E. A.
headquarters asking that accommoda-
private homes. The committee has
sent several hundred letters to private
individuals asking for accommoda-
tions and reservations for the conven-
tion week and already replies are COM
ing in. The 10000 or more who will
stay at regular hotels will be taken
care of with a trifle less trouble to
the committee.
Headquarters a Question
The question of interest to the hotel
men is where will be the headquarters
of the association. All the larger down
town hotels are desirous of this honor
and are making bids for the conven-
tion center. Each state will also have
It's own headquarters, as many as pos
sible being in the same hotel where
the main headquarters are located.
When the n. r. A. held it's former
convention here in 1899 the Westmin-
ster hotel housed the executives of the
association, but at that time most of
the larger hotels which are now a
prominent feature of the down town
district had not yet been built. At
that time the city's hospitality was
strained to accommodate $4,000 or 2O,-
900 people. less than half as many as
are now taken care of with ease.
Equally backward in numbers We're
| teachers who played "hookey" from in
stitute eight years ago had the choice
of but three theaters which they might
attend. The teacher who adjures the
pleasures of a convention lecture for
the theater this year will be able to
take her choice of ten theaters-with
chance OF a prize fight.

Quoted to the "theater beautiful" the
"most beautiful auditorium in Amer
ica," the great Temple Auditorium,
which will seat almost 5000.
Other surprises of no less startling
nature will greet the pedagogues
who trekked across the sands to the
Angel City eight years ago and who
are now arranging for another visit to
the City of the Queen of the Angels.

Lem Makes Promise

LENS simple answer in the affirma-
tive was sufficient, and although the
attorneys for the missionaries began
to demand a bond, Judge Wilbur stat
ed that LENS word was good enough
for the court and the babies were sent
back to Chinatown to live at George
LENS house.
In the afternoon when the two girls
came up for trial the court room was
crowded. Both girls testified that they
had been married less than a year
their marriages having been contract
ed in Juarez, Mexico, before their Chi
nese husbands Of American birth
brought them into the country. Both
husbands had deserted them within
a few months of the marriage. AS this
is the regular system of bringing Chi
nese women of i'll fame into this
country for immoral purposes, the gov
ernment officials present began to
take notice.
More than score of women being
brought across the border in that way
during the past six weeks have been
apprehended, and this was a case that
the officials had been looking for
When the court stated that he found
the women properly married and there
fore dismissed them from custody the
Chinese began to gesticulate and cry
their joy. The federal officers imme-
diately sprung their surprise and now
the fight will be taken up in United
States as well as supreme court.

Attorneys Get Babies

The Chinese became aroused over
the seizure of their babies Yester-
day, after a fight before Judge Wilbur,
Attorneys Davis and Willis succeeded
in getting the custody of the two
youngsters. Attorneys for the mis-
sionaries, after a desperate fight to
keep the children behind the bars, de-
manded heavy bail, contending that
the Chinese would spirit the youngsters
out of the country
Finally it was suggested that George
Lem, the merchant prince of China
town, be made custodian of the chill
dren George Lem is so highly re-
garded in Los Angeles that Chinese
or white man here never accepts any
other assurance than his word from
him. When the court took that sub
Ject under consideration Lem came
into the room. The court asked him
to step forward and without putting
him under oath asked him If he would
promise to take care of the Chinese
babies for week and return them to
court when the question of their
parentage came up.

Babies Taken from Mothers
Two girls, Lue Luck and Wong She
both about 20 years Of age, were cap
tured and two babies Lu Gum and
Hong Ho, both years of age, were
taken away from their parents on the
ground that the house was immoral.
The row over the fair Chinese be-
came critical The Chinese stated that
the interference Of the officers they
did not mind, but they couldn't stand
for the interference Of women who
meddled i'm their affairs when, as some
of the Chinese stated. there was
enough degeneracy i'm that immediate
neighborhood among the white women
to keep an army Of women mission
aries busy for the rest Of their natural
lives. According to the statement of
a Chinese merchant yesterday the
celestials resent and will continue to
resent the only too apparent injustice
of one or two of their own women be-
ing singled out by two score mission
aries or more when, in the houses of
that neighborhood, white women
nightly entice Chinese visitors into
their rooms and the most degenerate
conditions prevail, while the mission
aries pass the trouble of their own
people by and interfere with the Chi
