The jolly French features Of Red
Jack McFadden are not as cheerful
these days as they were wont to be
in the days of yore. Red Is peace
able young man. but he believes that
n certain amount of scrapping is nee
essary to the physical well-being Of
Amy normal human being, and he
cant find anyone who will take him
on. When Red tries to look mad, he
screws his features up into the most
whimsical grin-frown imaginable and
when you call attention to tho fact
that 1t is really only a near-grouch
that he Is carrying around with him,
his face turns about the color of his
hair and he gives shrug more typi-
cal of the Emerald Isle than of sunny
Caul, and gently insinuates that you
might as well run a foot-race with
yourself around the block. Incident
lally. he kicks at the first stray pup
that comes along, taking mighty good
care that he does not hurt the little
beast Red Jack can't get real mad,
even when an antagonist hits foul
| In the ring-but he sometimes thinks
that he's mad. and that serves the
same purpose.

BRAWLEYs HOTEL PROSPECTS.
Plans Two-Story Structure on Site of
 Hotel Bungalow.

Immediately after the close of the cantaloupe season, work is to begin on the reconstruction of the Hotel Bungalow, at Brawley, which really means the construction of new hotel building on the site of the present adobe. The new building will be two stories high, 1OOx165 feet, and it's esti- mated cost is $20,000.
 Dr. J. w. Oakley and his architect, MT. Williams, of the firm of Train & Williams, Los Angeles, have been spending the past week in Brawley, completing the plans for the new building. Most of the adobe structure is to be torn down, but certain outside walls will be allowed to remain. in or der to insure cooler interiors.
 The general structure will be of frame, covered with metal lath and tireproof plaster. There will be long, deep porches on the Main-street and Eighth-street structures, and it is DltIllllSu IO SlCCI COLSlCIC pllleIl Oll the outer line of the sidewalks, so that the walks will be shaded. These pill lars are to extend to the second-story roof line.
 It is proposed to carry this feature of architecture along the street with each new building erected, until the north side of Main street has a com plete arcade over it's sidewalks. w. F. Holt, who is to build. in Brawley this fall, has agreed to adopt the same plans for his building, and it is believ- ed others will accept the idea.
 The new hotel will have a roof gar den on which all second-story rooms will open.

HOLT BUYS REpLANDs THEATRE.

w. F. Holt has purchased the Wyatt theater in Redlands and a lease has been signed with Manager H. C.. Wyatt of Los Angeles for three years, during which time the playhouse will remain on the same circuit it has been since it was built three years ago.
 MT. Holt will conduct his opera house at El Centro in connection with the Wyatt string of theaters.

It will have four canvas sections, each 12x16, under one roof, with wide cor riders between them, thus giving am pie shade and circulation of air. sev- eral novel features are to be included in the plans for beautlfying the new Wright home.

rider, the show was moved to the open ground east of the railroad. Vim rode Buster and proved himself the real thing in chaps all right but he rode with a hackamore and didn't give Buster a chance to display all his talents as ground and lofty tumbler. Buster isn't really wicked, for he doesn't turn and try to eat the man on his back, and when he goes sun fishing he stops short of falling back ward and tanning the pommel through to the riders spine by way of the solar plexus, but he can buck good and plenty and drive the nails of the riders fboots up through the roof of his mouth.
 Some persons argue that a horse who doesn't bite nor try to poke a man out of the saddle with a hind hoof isn't an outlaw MT. Kyne says anyone who thinks Buster isn't an outlaw has his permission to ride the horse without charge.
 On Sunday, May 24, at 10 a. m., Vim will ride Buster "slick'-with- out hackamore' or Spanish bit. He may use @ halter or a smooth bit. Some of the boys will ride the little bronco, and the one who makes good will change with Winn and make it competition for the gate receipts. The crowd will do as it always has done at the ball games: chip in and pay for the fun.
 Talking of riding, young George Forester recently gave an unpremedi- tated exhibition of horsemanship on Main street that was worth seeing. A pair of mules hitched to an unloaded wagon ran away from the depot and came up Main street at furious clip The hotel bus was jogging along ahead and the mules were charging at it for rear-end collision. Some of the passengers jumped out and fled to safe refuge, but there were women who either dared not jump or did not think they were in danger.
 Forester happened to be riding east on Main street and sized up the situ- ation, but he could not get down his rope in time to use it. Wheeling his horse, Forester spTred past the runaway mules, swung in ahead Of them and regulated his speed to keep his horses quarters back almost against their noses. When the mules sweryed and tried to run around him, Forester was there to block them. Gradually he forced the runaways to slacken speed, and nnalEy dropped back between them Sust far enough to avoid the pole, and brought them to a standstill without touching them.
 It was a clever feat, prettily done, and it prevented probably a bad smash Forester said he would not have tried it if he had not known his horse and exactly what the animal could be depended upon to do.

BRONCO BUSTING. AN INPRoMPTU EXHIBITION OF HoRsEMANsHIP BY ROUGH
 RIDERS OF FL cENTRo.
WYNN WILL RIDE OUTLAW
Cowboy Competitive Sports Scheduled for Week From sunday-Young Forresters Clever Method of Stop ping Runaway Mule Team on Main Street.

None of the wild and woolly fea- lures of the crude old frontier settle ments are found in the new pioneer communities of Imperial Valley, but the cow-puncher and the bronco-bust- CT have not become obsolete yet, and among the settlers of this quiet re- zion are many men with the bark on," some of them noted riders of the ranges and heroes of the rodeo, who can give impromptu wild west shows when the spirit moves them. Imperial county's sheriff, Mobley Meadows, was the star performer in the exhibi- tions given by the Vaquero Club of Los Angeles for entertainment of the men of the fleet, and there are others, but little if any inferior to him in skill and daring
 Last Sunday the boys got together in El Centro and had some cowboy fun for their own satisfaction and the entertainment of the crowd. Charlie Kyne instigated the outbreak by bringing in big, >hard-headed horse called Buster" a 1,300-pound outlaw from the Quarter-circle J outfit at Tehachepi, and insinuating that it took better rider than anyone in sight to stay with the brute in buck ing match. Charlie said he had sad dled Buster once, apouy a year ago, and had been thrown, and the horse hadn't felt the draw of latigo strap since. Somebody else produced a bronco of the Mexican breed from the c. M. ranch, and called for rider to stay on his back.
 The riders were not hard to find Sam Johnson, from Oklahoma, tackled the little horse and had real circus with him. The bridle reins came loose at the first jump, and Johnson had to Tab leather and let the horse conduct the exercises for a time. The bronco went down to the depot, jump ed brick piles and lumber, and then tore back up town, pitching, twisting and shaking himself like a wet dog every time he left the ground, Lee Smith and Sam Wilcox herding him on the sides.
 The little bronco jumped the ce- ment sidewalk on Main street, but the horses of the herd-riders failed to clear it, and when their hoofs struck the cement they went down in heap Smith was caught in the fall, and his leg was wrenched so badly that he is now on crutches. Johnson made good on the little horse, but rode him only long enough to encourage the bron- co.'s notion that bucking is all in the game.
 Iver B. Vim, rider of the Wyom- ing ranges, now living in El Centro, undertook to teach Buster" the man. ners of saddle horse, and for the safety of the crowd as we'll as of the

JEROME is ExONERAIEO
COMMISSIONER HANDS REPORT
TO GOV. HUGHES.
Findings Dispose Of Allegation That
the District Attorney Shook Dice
in a Gotham Restaurant.

ALBANY. n. Y. August 25-In his re-
port just submitted to Gov. Hughes Rich
ard l.. Hand, who was appointed by the
governor to take testimony upon the
charges filed against District Attorney
William Travers Jerome of New York.
discusses at some length the question of
gambling. In his findings generating
Mr.. Jerome. Commissioner Hand goes
into the allegation that the district at
torney and three others shook dice in a
restaurant in New York, which was IL
censed under the so-called Raines law.
"for the drinks and also for dollar a
shake.
LAS to the act of the district attorney
and his companions" says the report in
part. 'it is sufficient to say that it was
not crime. By the common law it was
SO far legal that the wager could be re-
covered in the courts by the winner and
1t is not criminal by the law of this state
today.
"Other acts in connection with such
gaming are made criminal by various
statutes. but the other acts and the con-
nection are necessary to cr1minality and
these must be shown in strict conformity
to the provisions of the particular statute
applicable.
Act Was Not Criminal.
Although the act was not criminal,
permitting it is a crime on the part of
the person licensed, and it is also made
the duty of the district attorney having
knowledge of such criminality, to act Off
cially for the enforcement of the law and
punishment of the offender.
There is no evidence that the pro-
prietor or licensee or any person re-
sponsible in the premises knew or had
any reason to believe that the act. was
committed at the time, nor is this al
legged in the charge, and my opinion is
that to hold the proprietor crminally
liable or suffering or permitting gam
bling in his premises because, without his
knowledge, four men shook dice a few
times for a dollar throw while at
luncheon would be most absurd perver-
sion of the object of the law and strain
ing of it's language AS to throwing dice
for the drinks. it is still less within the
meaning of the statute"

PRESIDENT TO RETURN EARLY
PLANS TO LEAVE OYSTER BAY
THE GOTH OF SEPTEMBER.
Interest in the Campaign Said to Be
Reason for Decision-The
Message.

White House employees hear that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his family will return
to this city about the Goth of September,
at least ten days earlier than his usual
time for leaving his summer home at
Oyster Bay. The annual overhauling. re-
furnishing and repanting have been prac-
tically completed and the building inside
and out. will be in shape for the presi-
Dental family
The probable early return of President
Roosevelt is considered significant. His
interest in the present presidential cam
paign is matter of history. At Oyster
Bay he is deprived of calling in the lead
ers and talking on national politics with
out appearing to be participating in too
lively manner in the fray. When he gets
back into his offices here the leaders may
come and go on the pretext of official or
personal business and much of the COM
ment that would follow Oyster Bay con-
ferences will be obviated.
Fine for Political Work.
The central location of Washington for
fine political work appeals strongly to the
President and others who desire to aid
Mr.. Taft, but prefer to do so under cover
as much as possible There is little doubt
that some interesting things will be doing
around the executive offices late in Sep
tember and throughout October.
So far as official business is concerned,
there is no known reason for an early re-
turn of the President. 1t is not expected
that his message to Congress this year
will be as red-hOt a document as in past
years. The President WILL of course. re-
iterate his well known views on pre-
dominant questions and urge their adop-
ton as laws. but he will naturally look
to his successor to press on Congress the
influence that amounts to SO much in
getting legislation.
As to the Message.
Approaching the "ex' period of his
political life, the President fully appre-
ciates the indifference Congress will show
to his views and how eagerly that body
will look to the new President. if a re-
publican, for light and guidance There
fore. it is the general belief that the last
regular message of President Roosevelt
will contain little that is new, and that
he will leave to his successor the push
ing of the measures In which they are
both so deeply interested.
The further fact that an extra session
of Congress is on the cards in the event
of the election of Taft is another reason
for a rather subdued message in Decem-
Der.
From both the message standpoint and
that OF other pressing business, there is
no call for the President to return here
earlier than in the past Nothing but his
deep concern in the situation and his de-
sire to have hand in cutting the cards
would bring him here so sOOn AT least
that is the way 1t Is figured out today.
