Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-07

of Philadelphia passed over the last
stretch of hot sands yesterday after
noon and dropped off at Los Angeles.
Rajahs Want More
A great noise was heard on the oasis
about 1920 yesterday when the mobiles
of Rajah temple, Reading, Pa, blew
into the burg and held out their date
bowls for more. No accidents marred
the perfect harmony of the occasion
and the staunch fifty-four arrived COM
petent to do their duty by the camel
that giveth forth the luscious milk be-
meath the palm trees of AL Malaikah
oasis. The party stopped at st. Louis,
Laguna, Kansas City, Grand Canyon,
Riverside and Redlands.
Among their number were the dele
gates, l.. N. Ellenbogen of Allentown,
Charles l.. Henry, Lebanon; J. D. Hip
pie, Reading; Martin Henry, Schemoki;
j. F. Hagerman, a Reading lawyer,
made hit with his associates, at
tired as "Gol Darn ye, ST Perkins" !"
The tour was managed by ]. P. Nc
Can.
These mobiles will leave Saturday
morning for San Jose, San Francisco.
Portland Seattle, Salt Lake, Colorado
Springs, Omaha, Denver, Chicago, To-
ronto, Niagara Falls and home, sweet
home.
1t is said that among the LuLus
there are some of the hottest poten-
rates in the country. Potentates, not
hot potatoes.
1t is a rule among the Lu Lus that
anyone caught drinking tea is to be
bastinadoed. (Nota bene-no one was
bastinadoed on the trip to Los An
geles).
1t is said of Councilman Charles
Gardner of the Twenty sixth ward of
Philadelphia that, like Washington, he
never told a lie. If that is true, and we
have every reason to believe 1T is, how
is it that Philadelphia allows old Bill
PENIS monument to be hanging around
the public parks when there is Gard
ner right there in the living?
Philadelphia is the town where they
have six-round fights to no decisions
1t is said that Philadelphia was named
after Jack O'Brien, therefore there are
going to be quite a number of the
Lu Lus who have important engage
ments at lodge meeting the while in
reality they watch Mr.. O'Brien burn
things up at Maud Junction.
The Lu Lus of Philadelphia didn't
let the hot pilgrimage across the sands
interfere very much with their happi-
ness. The advance guard of six ar
rived yesterday morning, ahead of their
special, which came later in the after
noon. Lost in the wilds of Chicago,
wrecked on the desert, imperial and
mystic comforters to hundred or
more frightened women-such were
few of the lithesome stunts that kept
this sextet of mobiles from perishing of
ennui.
The party consisted of Phil p.
Schaefer, past potentate; w. Freeland
Kendrick, potentate; Harry H.
Springer, Jerre J. Miller, "the ice man."
and Charles Gardner, councilman of
the Twenty-sixth ward, Philadelphia.
The first four of the party, their souls
filed with gratitude to Chicago friends
who had once generously opened the
zem zem in that savage region, de-
termined to repay the long standing
debt by presenting the good Samaritan
with a. cut glass punch bowl. For five
hours they wandered through the path
less wastes of the big oasis, to return
to a pair of unsympathising brother
mobiles.
Train Is Wrecked
Just outside Maxwell City the train
was wrecked and for seven hours the
impatient mobiles yearned for the
Al Malaikah oasis. The peerless six
distinguished themselves by taking
the women out through the car win
dows, which they were compelled to
break. Finally the railroad company
provided fiat cars and the 205 passen-
gers were placed on these, pack and
baggage, and sent on their way. The
Lu Lus, all Of whom are musicians,
organized little band and played
from 8 p. m. to a. M. to quiet the
nerves of the women of the party.
They are unwilling to say whether or
not this method succeeded.
At Holbrook another wreck held the
party twenty hours.
