BEAUTIFUL HAT DISPLAY
ATTRACTS MANY WOMEN
Crowds Visit Department Store to
View crations of Art and See
New Styles of the
Season

Throngs of beautifully dressed wo-
men crowded the sidewalk at Seventh
and Broadway yesterday and at times
it was almost impossible to pass. The
cause of this crowd was the new spring
hats that are tastefully displayed in
the elegant show windows of Bullock's.
There is hardly any article Of wear
ing apparel more dear to the heart of
the fair sex than a new spring hat.
Those who doubt the truthfulness of
that statement need only to see the
eagerness displayed by the butterflies
of fashion in their efforts to get peep
at the befiowered headgear to be con-
WINGED.
The show windows at this establish
ment are decorated in a most becoming
manner with hats that are perfect
flower gardens. Flowers of all descrip-
tions adorn these beautiful creations
and in few weeks women who wear
hats any other than a floral center
piece will be considered out of style.

Mistaken for Brother
Someone knowing this, it is believed,
lay in wait for him and when Saul
came home at an hour wholly unusual
for him he was mistaken for his brother
and beat down.
1t is thought he succeeded in beating
his assailant off or that the man dis
covering his mistake hurriedly left
without trying to rob him, although the
booty would have been small, he hay
ing less than 50 on his person, which
was found whe. his clothing was
searched at his home.
There is another theory advanced in
which the police have no faith, and
that is that Saul Ramirez was attacked
out of personal spite or revenge for
some fancied wrong.
The dead man was of an old Spanish
family who lived here when Los An
geles was a pueblo. The family, for
merly wealthy, has in latter years been
much reduced in fortune, but both Saul
Ramirez and his brother Antonio were
nossessors of comfortable incomes.
The death of Saul Ramirez is the
fifth which has taken place in the fam
lily within the past eighteen months.
An older brother who was a member
cI the fire department at Bakersfield,
was killed in fire there. The father
dropped dead of heart disease but a
few months ago and previous to that
q sister and another brother had died.

Albert Rosenthal, young California

recognition abroad, made his New York

younger of American composers, was
born in Somerville, Mass, December
20, 1871, and is at present living in
Frankfort, Germany, where he is sec

Paderewski prize some years ago, ana
during the past year several of his
orchestral compositions have been per-
formed in various cities of Germany.
Notable among his latest works are

HUMANE OFFICERS PAY
FOR SHOOTING MULE
Owner of Animal Claims They Acted
Without Discretion and DAM
ages of $3.50 Are
Awarded Him

An opinion was rendered by Justice
Stephens yesterday in which he decided
that the Los Angeles Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Annals had
acted illegally when one of it's Of
ficers killed a mule belonging to F.
Lee without first securing conviction
of Lee on a charge of cruelty.
Lee claimed officers of the society
found his mule hitched to load of
sand and tied to a post. The animal
was suffering from two spavins and
the owner agreed with the officers that
it should be given attention. 1t was
sent to DIR. Whittlesey's hospital,
where, after an Intellectual treatment,
it was shot.
"There is no doubt" says the justice,
that where the law leaves the deter
mination of any question to the discre-
ton of any officer, it does not impose
upon him the necessity of being right,
but the facts of this case plainly re-
lieve the societys officers from the ex-
ercise of discretion. The owner was
known and the society was bound to
act as the law directed in such cases"
Lee was given judgment for $3.50,
value and damages.

Tag on 1t and He Is
Arrested

The store of the Grossman Leather
company at 535 South Broadway was
broken into early Saturday and heavy
alligator hide velise and three cameras
with valuable lenses were stolen. Inc
property was valued at $135.
Last night Detectives Ritch and ROD
erds arrested az First and Main streets
Carl Hanson, alias George Mitchell,
who was walking along the street with
a handsome alligator grip in his hand
on which the price tag was displayed.
AS soon as he was arrested Hanson
confessed that he had just stolen the
,alise from the Dean Drug company
on Spring street, and when the Gross
man robbery was mentioned to him he
confessed he was guilty of that Also
but said that the stolen goods had been
shipped to an address in San Francisco,
which he gave.
Hanson admitted he had no other
business at the present time than steal
ing and that his efforts in that direc-
ton had been solely directed the past
few days to securing enough money to
get back to San Francisco.
The northern authorities have been
communicated with and the goods

GREAT STORE CELEBRATES
ITS TWELFTH BIRTHDAY
OWNER TELLS SECRET OF HIS
SUCCESS
One Thousand Employees Now Needed
to Carry on Work in Establish
ment Conducted by
Arthur Let's

Twelve years and two weeks ago yes
terday Arthur Let's arrived in Los An
geles and a fortnight after his arrival
established the store which yesterday
celebrated it's twelfth years existence
by the beginning of an anniversary sale
that will last throughout the week.
When the Broadway department store
was in it's infancy it had a frontage of
forty feet on Broadway and 100 feet on
Fourth street and was one story high.
A year later an adjoining; building was
added and later small stores in the
rear, and in 1901 building to the south
was purchased.
In 1906 the Slauson building was
added to the establishment, and since
that time a number of floors have been
added, until five acres and more of
floor space and 1000 employees are needed
to carry on the business of the estab-
lishment.
Arthur Let's was born in Northamp-
tonshire, England, and went to Canada
when he was 10 years old. He engaged
in farming, but soon became dissatis-
fed and went into business in Toronto.
MIR. Let's speaking yesterday of his
success, declared it was the result Of
square dealing, determination, knowl-
edge of the business in which he is en-
gagged, right living and a love of ma.
ture.
II am a merchant, he said, 'Dut L
love nature, and when it comes to
trees, flowers and shrubbery 1 am a
spendthrift. 1 love them all, and look
upon them as friends"
"If 1 were a lecturer" he said, II
would talk on the topic, The Reasons
Why a Man Makes No Success in Life.
and my answer would be Lack of thor
oughness.'
H. G. r. Phillips occupies position
next to Mr. Let's In the management
of the store. He began as cash boy
and declares the chief reason for the
stores success is that it's word is kept
with the public and that there Is no
exaggeration and no misrepresentation

that individual. 1t is said the hus-
bands of the women are greatly dis
turbed over the predicament of the
women.
