Governor Broward is reported to be
travelling over the Western States
compiling data for his message to the
Legislature, which it is said he viii
convene in extra session shortly after
his return to the State. Referring to
the Governors prolonged absence The
Times-Union OF July 23rd says:
Yesterday the pardoning board. on
account OF the absence OF the Cover
nor, failed to meet. A meeting had
been called for that day and number
Of important cases were set for con-
sideration. A large number Of at
torneys paid their way to Tallahassee,
paid their expenses while there and
then paid their way back home with
out being heard. all because at pres
ent Florida has no Governor.
"At last accounts Gov Broward was
well and strong but he was on his
travels. He went to the Denver con-
yention about two weeks ago and,
though that convention adjourned
eleven days ago, he has not yet re
turned. He is reported to be travel
ing in California. RE ought TO be in
Florida attending TO the duties OF
his Office or the president of the Sen
ate ought to go to Tallahassee and as
sumo those duties until Gov. Broward
returns.
"One Of the cases that the pardon
ing board was to have considered yes
terday was that of George Washing
ton, convicted Of murder and senten-
ced to be hanged July 81. The par
doning board will not meet again
until July 30 and doubt is expressed
as to whether the case can be pre-
sented In time to save this mans
life even II the board should decide
that this is proper case for clemen-
cy. At any rate he will be left In
suspense until the very day OF his
execution. This George Washington
is not the father of his country. He
is only a negro. but he Is human
being and Is entitled to all the con.
sideration that is accorded to the
most influential man. He may de-
serve to be hanged, but IL the pardon
ing board Is to consider his case 1t
should consider 1t in time.
Gov. Broward should not place his
pleasure above the rights OF the law.
yers and OF their clients. He should
not make lawyers incur unnecessary
expenses, applicants for pardon endure
unnecessary suspense, the business
OF the State suffer unnecessary delay
Just for the pleasure Of seeing the
world. He will have plenty Of time
for travelling after the 9TH OF next
January"

LOW INvENTIoMs wERE sToLEN.

Before patents were granted for in.
ventions, says Edwin J. PrindIe in
American Industries for july, the in.
ventor had but one way to secure a
return from his invention That was
to keep it secret.
Secret inventions were the most val
liable possessions Of many families
and guilds. But IN proportion to their
value, they tempted the cupidity OF
competitors. The secret Of making
Venetian glass was greatly priced
and was most jealousy guarded. A
Venetian named Paoli, who possessed
the secret left Venice and wandered
northward practising his art. He was
stabbed in Normandy with dagger
marked "Traitor"-a measure taken
to preserve the secret
In 1710 the Elector OF Saxony learn
ed that man named Bottger had dis
covered the secret of making porce.
lain He accordingly confined him
in the castle OF Albrechtsburg until
the discovery had been perfected.
The workmen were sworn to secrecy,
and the draw-bridge was kept up ex-
cept to admit those specially author
lied. Thus was the manufacture OF
the famous Dresden ware begun. The
secret was soon carried to Vienna.
where royal factory was established,
and to France where 1t was the foun-
dalton Of the manufacture of the
famous sevres pottery
The stealing OF the secret of MAX
ing cast steel is an interesting ex-
ample. A matchmaker named Hunts
man was dissatisfied with the watch
springs the market afforded. and in
1850 conceived that If he could cast
steel into an ingot, spriags made from
II would be more homogeneous. His
conception was successfully carried
out, and large market was estab-
lished for "Huntsman's ingots."
Large works with tail chimneys were
soon built. Every effort was made
W AtSp tue neCIet. NO QUE was a0-
mitted to the works. The process
was divided, and persons working on
each part were kept in ignorance Of
other parts OF the work One bitter
winter night man dressed as farm
laboreT came to the door apparently
in an exhausted condition and asked
adniittance. The foreman. deceived
by his appearance into thinking the
man was incapable OF understanding
what he would see, let him in. The
man dropped down in sight OF the
furnaces and seemed TO sleep
Through furitively opened eyes he
saw the workmen cut bars of steel
into bits and, depositing them into
crucibles, put the crucibIes in
furnaces and urge the fires to the
highest pitch. The workmen had to
protect themselves from the heat by
wet clothes. Finally the steel melted.

and the steel was cast into moulds

ASK THAT PLAY
BE SUPPRESSED
NEGROES WANT "CLANSMAN"
BARRED FROM STAGE
JOIN IN PETITION ADDRESSED TO
MAYOR HARPER
Declare 1t VIII Reopen Wounds and
Excite Race Prejudice Where
Amicabe Relations at
Present Prevail

The fact that the "Clansman" is to
be produced at one of the local thea
ters has aroused the indignation of
large number of the best negro citi-
zens, and they yesterday sent a Pc
tition to the mayor to have the play
suppressed.
In their petition they say the "Clans-
man" is an adaptation of Thomas Dix
on, jr.'s, THE Clansman" and 1.-THE
Leopard's Spots" and that the play
deals with features of the negro ma
tional life in such way as to reopen
wounds that have cost the life blood of
the nation in their healing. They claim
it excites race prejudice by portraying
one of the most brutal of crimes and
the triumph of mob law.
The petitioners feel race prejudice
should not be excited, in view of the
friendly relations which exist between
the races in Los Angeles. Other cities
have suppressed the play, they declare,
and they ask that the mayor do like
wise.
Mayor Harper will investigate be-
fore acting on the petition.

DIR. ORLOFF AND
NURSE CONTEND
FOR POSSESSION
Russian Art Connoisseur Controls Two
Doors and His Former Business
Associate Has Only Rear
Entrance

DR.. Orlow N. Orloff, Russian art con-
noisseur, Oriental rug expert, and an
exponent of one of the cults of India,
who a short time ago was charged
with having embezzled $2500 worth of
rugs from L. Kaljian, a Persian rug
dealer, but subsequently settled the
matter out of court, is again in the
limelight, this time being a contestant
for the possession of q San1tar1um at
1900 South Grand avenue.
1t appears that Orloff and Mrs. H. H.
Lund conducted the place on partner
ship basis, the woman having charge
of the place and superintending the de-
tails and Orloff using his influence in
securing patients for the establishment.
Mrs. Lund took charge of the place
last January and by hard work sue
ceeded in securing a good business.
All went well until Orloff became Ill
and became involved in financial re-
verses. Then he was arrested on the
embeZzlement charge. Mrs. Lund
helped him all through his troubles and
eXerted her every effort in taking care
of him during his illness and in secur-
ing bondsmen for him when he was
arrested.
For some reason or another there
was a disagreement and Orloff ordered
Mrs. Lund to vacate the premises. She
refused to comply with his demands,
and then, she says, the Russian decided
to take matters into his own hands ana
oust her himself. In the meantime, it
is said, creditors of the proprietors of
the sanitarium learned that things
were not as they should be, and press
ing demands were made for money.
She says that because of the actions of
Orlow for some time prior to this open
act of hostility the business of the eS-
tablishment had dwindled until two
weeks ago, when the last patient left
the place. There were no funds to ap-
pease the merchants to whom various
thought he would be forced into bank
ruptcy Orloff tried to put Mrs. Lund
out of the place, she asserts.
Yesterday morning he appeared and
demanded that she vacate. She re-
fused to do So Orloff, she says, then
locked the front and side doors and
stationed two of his men on the inside
to see that nothing was removed. Mrs.
Lund with a nurse also is in possession,
and has access to one back door.
Mrs. Lund was almost hysterical
from the ordeal of the day, and when
she was talking to reporter last night
sobbed frequently.
st met Dr. Orloff in Chicago ten
years ago." said she. HE was teach
ing philosophy and passed as a Rus
sian nobleman who had forsaken his
family and large estate to preach the
gospel of righteousness and aid and
uplift humanity. 1 never saw him
since that time until last November,
when met him on the streets of Los
Angeles. [ then was conducting a SAN
itarium of my own, and he persuaded
me to give it up and take charge of
this place on Grand avenue.

hard up to now; have taken care of

Orloff's friends assert he is acting en-
tirely within his rights.

WILL GO TO BAKERY WHEN
NEXT NEEDING TREATMENT
Patient at Receiving Hospital Forced
to Swallow an Entire Loaf of
Bread to Get Rid
of Pin

George Hunter, aged 20, living at 1864
Dorchester street, appeared at the re-
ceiving hospital yesterday morning to
have a pin extracted from his throat.
DIR. c. w. Bonynge made a number of
unsuccessful attempts to extract the
troublesome little piece of metal, and
finally pushed it on down. He then
made the patient eat whole loaf of
bread, so that no i'll effects would re-
suit.
Hunter was not pleased at having to
eat such a quantity of dry bread and
attempted to shirk, but it was without
avail, and when he finished the labor
ious task he was allowed to go. AS he
walked out he muttered something to
the effect that when he wanted treat
ment again he would visit bakery or
a delicatessen store instead of hos
pital.
