DECLARES HIS SUPREMACY
President Defends Course in Army
Matters.

Washington, May 11.-Three mem
bers of the United States senate have
received letters from President Roose-
welt within the past few days declar-
ing his supremacy as commander-in-
chief, in all matters referring to the
control of the army and navy. Two
of the letters have created intense
feeling in the senate and it is not un-
likely that they will precipitate a
conference of the Republican mem
bers.
The letters, in every case, are
in defense of his course in discharging
without honor the negro soldiers he
believed to be guilty Of shooting up
the town of Brownsville, Tex, and
his action in banishing Colonel Will
lam F. Stewart to an abandoned mill
tary post in desert section of Ari-

NEW MEXICAN MINING LAWS

At a meeting of the Los Angeles
chamber of mines yesterday resolutions
were adopted protesting against the
proposed new Mexican mining laws,
containing illiberal provisions, drawn
by Oligario Molina, the member of
President Diaz' cabinet who has charge
of the execution of Mexican mining
laws. The adoption of these laws would
reverse the present liberal policy of the
Mexican government toward all for
eigners.
1t was resolved that some day in
August should be arranged for as a
Mining day, in which there shall be
drilling contests and other interesting
features. A committee was named to
arrange details. 1t will probably be
held about the time of the meeting of
the celebrated Arizona Hassayampa
club.
The following were elected to mem
bership:
Frank Virgins, secretary Los Ange-
les chamber of commerce; George N.
Nolan, secretary Los Angeles chamber
of mines; L. A. Lister, Lordsburs. N.

Two hundred little boys and girls,
every one of them under the age of
16. had a great, big. old fashioned pic
mic yesterday at Rubio canyon.
1t was about the liveliest aggreea-
ton of youngsters ever turned loose on
helpless mountain resort, and what
run they didn't manage to extract out
OF their seven hours of merry making
couldn't really he classified as such.
The whole bunch came from the
Broadway Department store, where
they are all employees of Arthur Let's.
They boarded three special cars at the
Pacific Electric station at / o'clock In
the afternoon, and until O'Clock last
night were entertained in royal fashion
at the canyon Sports, dancing, games,
lemonade. a pie-eating contest and a
wagonload OF watermelons were fea-
lures Of the program. The crowd was
loaded down with heavy lunch baskets,
and in the shady bowers of the popular
canyon the young folks enjoyed YER
table feast of Lucullus, without the

The Broadway Department store
management offered a fine list of at
tractive prizes for the sporting features
of the day, and the contestants entered
into the games with wonderful ANNA
ton. Baseball bats, boxing gloves.

childhood were included among the
prizes. Besides the pie-eating contest

amusement for all the little ones, there
vera a tug-of-war, sack race, inter
ference races and a friendly boxing
match between "Sharkey'' and "Taml,"
two popular and clever boys in the em-
ploy of the store.
Everyone who went on the excursion
was decorated with a Don't Worry
motto on a red ribbon; but this pro-
verbal admonlation of Mr.. Let's was
not needed, as there was no cause for
worrying. The whole crowd of merry
makers cheered long and loud for their
employer. and for the managers of the
picnic, which was declared the biggest
thing Of the season"

into action. First she tried to beckon
the young woman off. Miss Blonden

Although only 20, he has composed

FATHER OF DRAMATISTS
Noted Lecturer and Author Gives Inn-
pressive and Instructive Discourse
on Suderman and Hauptman.
Also Answers Questions

DR.. Richard Burton, who is giving a
series of instructive lectures at Cum
mock hall, spoke yesterday morning on
the German playwrights, Suderman
and Hauptman.
In opening his lecture the speaker
Said Ibsen might be regarded as the
father of modern dramatists, while the
mother was the spirit of the times.
Suderman he classified as a man of
letters, skillful in technique, dramat-
list primarily, subduing the ethical and
spiritual to his art, yet strongly devel-
oped on both sides. "Magda," ''The
Fires of ST. John" and "The Joy of
Living he chose to illustrate the YER
satility of the playwright "Magda''
DR.. Burton designated as struggle
between the past and present, declaring
that this play is Suderman's greatest
production. "The Fires of st. John
he translated as a pagan glorif1cation
of sensual love, and 1.-THE Joy of Liv-
ing a subtle. complex, psychological
study
Hauptman, Dr. Burton said, was a
poet, dreamer, clergyman and man Of
large mental vision. The four great
plays If which he spoke individually
were 1.-THE Weavers," a presentation of
the workingman; Lonesome Lives, "
which deals with dissolute idlers; 1.-THE
Sunken Bell" a wonderful fairy play,
and "Hannele." the dream play, from
which he gave a brief, exquisite
reading.
OF "IIannele" DR.. Burton said 1t was
booted from Broadway theater about
ten years ago, while In 1908 New York
accepts with reclamation "The Servant
In the House.
At the conclusion Of the lecture the
speaker descended from the platform
and discussed vital questions addressed
to him by the audience.
