OLD GLORY NOW MORE
POPULAR THAN EVER
BIG FLAG MANUFACTURERS
OUT OF STOCK
Factory Running at Night to Try to
Supply Southern California with
the Amount of Bunting
Desired

Everybody is singing you're a
grand old rag" while Old Glory is
proving he was never so popular in
Southern California as he is today.
This does not refer to the famous
old battle flag displayed on South
Broadway-the banner which carried
it's thirteen stars and stripes through
the conflicts of 1912.
But 1t Is the down-to-date flag of
forty-five stars which is being made
brand new this week for the blue
Jackets of Admiral Evans fleet that is
popular.
I'VE never had such a run in the
history of this establishment" said one
of the clerks in charge of the flag de-
partment of a big outfitting house on
North Main street yesterday. Our
factory Is running all day and through
the forepart of the night.
Even then we are unable to keep
up with the demand for the colors.
Fiesta? Why, two festas never
came up to this time, for the way peo-
pie are buying flags. From five to
fifteen people waiting in line at the
counter and a man at every phone in
the establishment to catch the long
distance orders for flags.
Unconditional Orders
"All orders are unconditional. If a
customer orders flags made today (F'ri-
day. we cannot promise them to him
earlier than Monday of next week. All
the cheap flags are sold out and only
a few expensive silk banners are left.
Same way with buttons, badges, red,
white and blue bunting-everything
patriotic goes. It's Star Spangled Ban
ner everywhere. Even naval signal
flags are wanted.
I'VE could have sold out $4,000 more
of stock this week easily.
mot only Los Angeles but San
Diego, Long Beach, Redondo, Santa
Monica and San Pedro have made a
run on the flag bank with the result
that we are cleaned out of stock.
Anything SO it's a flag. People
would come in and ask for a flag two
feet by three feet and end up by get
ting a flag which measured six feet by
ten feet.
Generally they have ordered flags
made, measuring four by six feet, or
five by eight feet; while the large ones.
eight by sixteen and eight by twelve
feet, have also gone fast.
"Oh, everything going, for that mat
ter.
Its an unconditional surrender
for us.
I'VE haven't flag flying in our es-
tabliShment noW."

LANTERMAN'S CASE WILL
BE DECIDED WEDNESDAY
Attorneys for Former Coroner Say No
Effort viii Be Made to Have
Him Placed on Pro-
baton

Whether the case of r. S. Lanter-
man, former coroner of Los Angeles
county, will be resubmitted to the
grand jury, the prisoner discharged or
a denial of the motion by his attorneys
for an arrest of judgment be rendered
will be decided Wednesday morning by
Judge Conrey, who, after listening to
lengthy argument yesterday by Judge
j. W. Mckinley and the deputy district
attorney took the matter under advise
ment.
The argument of Lanterman's coun-
sci was based on the ground that the
indictment returned against the former
coroner cannot sustain a conviction,
the indictment, according to the con-
tention, being defective in that it did
not contain the name of the defendant
in it's opening statements and further
that it was founded on statement
rendered to the county by DR.. r. 8.
Lanterman. as an individual. the word
coroner being placed on the claim by
the auditor of the county.
Judge Conrey said he was cognizant
of the many safeguards with which a
defendant is surrounded and that he
should be given the benefit of every
doubtful point but he, nevertheless,
realized the fact that the peoples side
of a case still exists and must be pro-
tected.
He would not attempt, he said, to
render d decision at once, but hoped
to be able to do so by $3.50 o'clock We'd
nesday, to which time the matter was
continued.
Judge Mckinley stated to the court
there had been certain newspaper re-
ports circulated that an effort might
be made to have Lanterman placed on
probation. He denied these reports,
however. saying there was no intention
on the part of the defense to make
such an application, indicating that. in
the event of an unfavorable decision.

WEALTHY INVESTOR
SUES HIS PARTNER
EPES RANDOLPH PLAINTIFF IN
ACTION
Claim Made That Promoter Failed to
Keep Agreement In Connection
with Extensive Mining
Venture

A suit in which Epes Randolph, the
wealthy miner of Tucson, Ariz., seeks
to recover $26,7S4 from Lycurgus Lind
say of Los Angeles, occupied time In
Judge Hutton's department of the SUI
perior court yesterday and was con-
tinued until Monday.
Randolph says he was approached
prior to January 1, 1905, by Lindsay
and Henry S. Mackay with mining con-
cessions located in Sonora, Mexico,
which, after an investigation, he agreed
to aid lindsay in acquiring, both ad-
vanclng large sums of money, expend-
ing share and share alike, and the ben
eficial ownership of the property being
in the names of Randolph, Lindsay and
Mackay.
The Lanos de Orc Mining and Mill
ing company was formed, with a capital
of 100000 chares at $40 share, and the
public was offered promissory notes
on $250,000, payable in fifteen months,
each purchaser who received a note of
$100 to get a bonus of forty shares.
The three men were to contribute a
third each of their holdings for this
purpose. This amount was not found
sufficient, according to Randolph, and
$150,000 more was borrowed on the
same terms, the money to be used in
erecting a plant.
Again. 1t is said there was not suffi-
cient money to carry on the work and
in March, 1906. it was agreed, says
Randolph's complaint, that he and
Lindsay should subscribe the balance.
In July of the same year the plant
was completed, but proved to be a fail
ure and closed down in October.
Randolph says from January, 1906, to
June, 1907, he advanced $96,556. while
Lindsay supplied but $42,9S7, and he is
now seeking to recover the difference.

TAsTEFULLY DECORATED

Decorators yesterday officially

The main effects were produced in
the center over the main entrance,
where there was breadth of facade.
From the windows and galleries
graceful folds of American flags gave
a soft tone to the scheme, while from
the different corners of the building
strips of Tapping bunting added ami
nation.
From every window a bunch of deco
rative material added to the general
effect and helped to carry out the idea
of the artists.
The tower lent itself admirably to
show the Los Angeles spirit. Big flags
protruded here and there. From the
balcony opposite the mayors office
draped flags We're suspended. Along
side the tower the code flags for "Wel-
come to the fleet" stretched a line OF
color extending fifty feet.
The same message with squadron
signals stretched across the front of
the building, horizontally.
The mayors suite of three offices
showed most tastefully the spirit of
good cheer. In every room streamsrs
ran from the chandeliers to each corr
ner of the ceiling.
In the executive sanctum the signal
flags "Welcome to the feet stretched
from east to west. From each corner
draperies of color contrasted with the
various naval flags, including that OF
the admirals, blue with white stripes.
In this room on Monday morning
Admiral Thomas will pay his formal
call on the mayor.
Secretary Herbert d. Kanuedy will
be acting mayor today while the rest

PERSIA AND RUSSIA

Rv Associated Press.

Rv Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-THE
foreign office has been informed that
Persia is sending a military expedition
to cooperate with the Russian garri-
son of Belesuvar, frontier post which
was recently attacked by a large force
of Kurdish bandits. who, however,
were repulsed. Hopes are held here
that order will be speedily restored.
The Russian expedition was sent
across the border into Persia against
the protests OF the Persian government,
which wished to undertake alone the
task of running down the marauders,
but the weakness Of the shah's admin
istration and the danger to Russian
interests in the vicinity of the frontier
made it necessary for Russia to inter-

FEDERAL COURT RULES
AGAINST BIG RAILROAD
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. LOUIS, April 17.-An opinion
handed down today by the United
States court of appeals rules that
federal court has no authority to inter-
fere by injunction to prevent state
railroad commission from changing
rates until the rates are actually fixed
The opinion upholds the decree of
the United States circuit court of Me-
braska, which refused. to restrain the
Nebraska railroad commission from
modifying rates on grain and grain
products transported in Nebraska.
The Burlington road originally
brought the action and appealed the
case. The opinion of the court states
that the petition was premature, as the
rates had not been fixed and that
ninety days notice would have been
allowed by the commission in which
the matter could have been taken to
court if the rates were unfair.
