Despite the superiority in style, finish and
fabric, the prices are more reasonable than
ever. We buy from the most reliable makers
of the best grades of clothing, and by reason
of large purchases we can make inside prices.
Making clothing is no longer a "hit-or=miss"
proposition. 1t is an art. We patronize the
artists in the clothing line. But come in and
see for yourself.

]. w. Hart, an old-time campaigner
in the Prohibition field and a former
member of the Pasadena Typographi-
cal union, dealt with. the use of in
functions in labor troubles, and pointed
out that the Republican party was
merely trying to take from organized
labor rights which every one else in
the nation LIS. and which are guaran-
teed by the constitution.
I'VE are not asking to be privileged
class of wrongdoers. as Judge Taft
says" declared Mr.. Hart. 1.-THE privi-
legged class of wrongdoerS is pretty well
filed already by the men who are rails
ing the slush fund for the Republican
campaign. We merely want our con-
stitutional rights respected"
Bryan Stays with Labor
Mr.. Hart said the present position of
the American Federation of Labor in
the past had been indorsed by prac-
tically every prominent Republican
leader, but that during the present
campaign the issue was carefully
avoided by these same men.
ut is the biggest question the nation
has faced since the question of slavery
was settled" he concluded. For years
Bryan has stood like a stone wall for
our interests. We are merely voting
for our own interests when we vote
for him."
For an hour before the meeting the
Crown City band paraded the streets
advertising 1t. The hall was felled
with an intensely interested audience
of men and women, many of whom
brought children. Enthusiasm has not
been at a higher pitch at any meeting

N AN BERNARDINO sports were no
- little surprised Thursday night by
~ the appearance at ringside of
more than dozen Los Angeles fight
fans when Howard Baker and Charlie
Anslin. had their little six-round
argument. Two automobile loads left
Los Angeles in the afternoon and made
the round trip of 140 miles without the
slightest accident or delay. Dick Ferris
chaperoned a party including Beanie
Walker, George Herman, Charlie
Eyton and j. Bliss Dudley. Bob Col
mer acted as chaperon for his party,
which included Tommy Walsh Freddie
Welsh, Jack Hart and the writer. Col
mer almost made a record run going
and coming. He and his party left
Jeffries cafe at o'clock and arrived
at San Berdoo at $3.50 o'clock, which
included two stops. Returning, the
party left San Berdoo at 11:40 o'clock
and arrived at Drinks cafe at 2:40
o'clock On tie return trip, Golmer
got off the road and did not discover it
until he was on his way to Goldfield
and almost had started to climb old
Baldy. This occasioned a delay of at
least twenty minutes All the local
sports enjoyed the trip and the boxing
show. Three scraps, ended in less than
nine rounds, all by the knockout route,
was the excellent Offering of the Gate
City Athletic club and the show was
completed at 10 o'clock. The sports in
Sln Berdoo turn out in goodly num-
bers to support the game there, and
despite a political rally in the city,
the show attracted a. crowded house.

of the restless wanderer. Unluckily
Ginger sneezed just as he poked his
nose into one of the mems face. The
unshaven one awoke with a start. gave
just one long yell. then plunged into
the waters of the lake. His partner
landed alongside him and together they
waded far from shore-probabiy the
first time in weeks they had come In
contact with water.
The keeper of the zoo detected Gin
gers disappearance and began search.
He saw the mischievous animal sit
ting near the lake, looking inquiringly
at the men floundering in the muddy
water. He summoned assistance and
the men. armed with pitchforks, soon
had bruin in his own quarters. Gin
ger took his capture with good grace
and after the bars were closed lay
down in the sunny corner of his cage
and soon was sound asleep.

that Memsic broke his hand in the first
round of his fight with Young Donohue,
which went the scheduled twelve rounds
to draw He had an X-ray speciallse
examine the injured member and found

round had his hand lasted.
Nobody was surprised down this way
at the result of the Thompson-Un Unholz
scrap. Those who had seen both boys
fight could figure no other result. In
cidentally, nobody down this way is
CRYING at the result. Incidentally again.
those who followed The Herald dope on
this fight have no occasion for regrets,
as the exact result that obtained was
farecasted several times. incidentally
once more, this should convince Mr..
Unholz that he no longer is the light
weight champion of the world. He has
been running around over the country
claiming that he whipped Bat Nelson
in his fight here with the Dane, but he
cannot get away with that line of bunk
down this way, and since Cans and
Thompson have knocked him out and
the second-raters in the east have
beaten him dizzy, he will have consider
able difficulty in forcing the topnotch-
ers to pay any heed to his yawpings In
future.
Howard Baker has shown such con-
sistent improvement in all his fights
here and in San Berdoo recently that
he should have no difficulty in getting a
paying main event match before one
of the local clubs. He is a fighter of
good class and one of the cleanest and
most gentlemanly fighters in the busl-
ness, while he is fighting like a top
notcher every time he goes in the ring.

while trying to rob the landlady of an
apartment house on Yves. Tenth street
Thursday morning, the police believe
they have made an important arrest.
Although he maintains stolid silence
and answers his inquisitors only in
monosyllables Clermont is thought to
be desperate crook. He refuses to
say where he roomed, and the police be-
lieve when they locate Clermon's abode
they will find stolen goods
Clermont was arrested by Detective
Louis Rico. The alleged burglar en-
tered the room occupied by the land
lady Because of the dim light he was
not aware of her presence until she
screamed for help. He dropped a watch
and purse he had taken from a dresser

BRUIN CLAWS WAY
TO BRIEF FREEDOM
Eastlake Park Bear Manages to Break
Out of Cage and Goes on
Tour of Fun and Ad-
venture

Ginger got loose yesterday afternoon
at Eastlake park and then there was
something "stirrin." Ginger Is the big
black bear in the largest cage at the
zoo in the park. He was restless all
morning and when he found the mar
row confines was no place for an ami
NAL with a rowing spirit he deliber-
ately clawed his way to freedom, then
amused himself in seeking adventures
in the park.
The first humans he met were two
small children who were playing with
their dolls, their nurse being engaged
in a filtration. The children were too
young to be afraid and slapped the big
brute on the nose when he began to
get too inquisitive. Finding that there
was no exciting adventure to be had
with the tots, Ginger wandered toward
the lake and approached the benches
where usually there are several couples
spooning under the shadows of the
dropping willows.
"N-o-o-o you must not kiss me just
yet" said petite blonde when Ginger
poked his nose against her cheek In
a friendly manner. She and her sweet
heart had quarreled and had not made
up and the young woman had not de-
cided fully whether to allow him the
usual familiarlties. She glanced around
coyly to see if his manner had changed.
Then she gave a yell that would have
won her fame in wild west show and
made running start for the stepping
stones. She had peered into the face
of Ginger and her sweetheart was al
most to the gateway and running with
bated breath.
Ginger looked around and the ex-
preston on his ugly face was almost
human; if bear ever winked in an
amused manner Ginger was the ami
NAL. Then, as if realizing his leave
of liberty was to be short, Ginger am
bled over to where two men of the
brake-beam were summing themselves
on the banks of the lake. The knights

backs, taking life easy. Their eyes

ingman

For the first time this year, organized
labor had political meeting of its own
at Pasadena last night, when Stanley
B. Wilson of this city and j. w. Hart
of Pasadena addressed a big audience
in Maccabees' hall.
Mr.. Wilson, former Methodist minis
ter, once candidate for mayor of Los
Angeles, and now editor of The Citizen,
official organ of labor unions. delivered
a bitter attack on the sherman anti
trust law and the decision of the su-
preme court which made it's provisions
apply to labor unions.
'It Is the greatest injustice ever in
nicted upon any people, he declared,
"and strikes directly at the life of the
labor unions 1t threatens their exist
ence, and beyond that, by the inter-
probation of the supreme court, strikes
directly at the home
lie told how Samuel Gompers,
aroused to the far-reaching conse-
quences of the decision which made
labor unions trusts, attended the Re-
publican convention at Chicago and
sought assurance that the platform
should declare in favor of changing the
law, to exempt labor unions from its
workings, as the trainers clearly in
tended. He was coldly rejected.
He went to the Democratic conven-
position was admitted, and a plank in
serted in the platform declaring in IA
vor of his request.
Difference in Parties
Il am sometimes asked what is the
difference between the Republican and
Democratic parties" shouted Mr.. Will
son. This Is the difference: The Re-
publfcans refuse us relief from that
damnable law; the Democrats prom
ise it,"
Prolonged applause, cheering and
yelling greeted this statement.
rs the labor union a trust?' the
speaker continued. "The supreme court
says yesi the Republican party says
yes: William Howard Taft says yes"

the rear of the hall.

nultuous cheering and handclapping.

his opinion that Ketchell does not want
to meet Papke again and may be look
ing for chance to "blow" the match
Jones insists that he has been mis-
understood in the former negotiations
for a PapkeKelly match, asserting
that he did not run out on the club.
He says that when he agreed that
Papke should box Kelly here, no ar
rangement was made regarding the
money end, and when 1t came to dis
cussing this detail he and the club
could not agree. In these circum-
attack him for the failure of negotia-
tions at that time. Jones added:
'Papke wants to fight here, and am
more anxious that he should do so.
There never would have been any fail
ure OF the match had the club seen fit
to meet the demand for a $4,000 guar
antee for Papke's end of the receipts,
which was a reasonable demand when
1t is understood that no arrangement
regarding money matters had been
made previous to the Papke-Ketchell
fight and that Papke won the cham
pionship and became more than 100 per
cent better drawing card afterward
than formerly. However, Papke will
fight Kelly here If Kelly accepts the
terms agreed to, and 1t Is a plain case
OF everybody taking a chance that 1t
will be an attractive card. as no guar
antees are given on either side"
There always are two sides to every
story, and since Jones has signed up
for Papke to meet Kelly and has made
no unusual or unreasonable demands
upon the club or upon Kelly, the fans
will give him the benefit of the doubt
and forget that any differences ever
existed. AS regards the personal diff
ferences between Long and Jones, the
fans and the club have no interest, and
this pair of worthless can fight It out
in a dark alley any time they so desire
and Jeffries will referee the match.
They probably will be "kidding' one
another again when they meet once
more, and will be good friends and as
jolly with each other as they ever
were in the course of few weeks.
1t is the source of congratulation all
the way round that the negotiations
for the Papke-Kelly match have come
to such a quick and satisfactory end
ing. San Francisco has been after the
match for long time, and the reason
able disposition of Jones can be re-
allied when 1t Is known that he re-
ceived a guarantee of $4,000 and was
given the privilege of taking a per-
centage of the receipts in excess of
$4,000 for the scrap between Papke and
Kelly that was scheduled for Milwau-
kee, yet he accepted a plain, straight
commission basis. minus the guarantee,
for the fight here with the same scrap
per. Now that everything has been
definitely and satisfactorily settled. ev-
erybody should be pleased and quit
uuarreling for awhile, at least.
