APPOINT OFFICIALS
FOR SWIM TOURNEY
Competent Men Will Have Charge of
Aquatic Program During The
Elks' Carnival Next
July

In accordance with instructions re-
ceived from the Southern California
representatives of the p. "A. A., lhe
Southern California Swimming asso-
citation yesterday appointed a commit
tee of five members to represent IL IN
Pacific coast championship swimming
tournaments which will be held in Los
Angeles during the Eks' carnival next
July. The committee is as follows:
Leslie Henry, secretaryi Bernal Dyas,
PRESIDENT; George Cline, treasurer, all
OF the Southern California Swimming
association, and Jack Warrington and
Wallace Robb. The names of the COM
mittee have been forwarded to George
Braden, chairman of the Southern
California board of the p. A. A, and
will be brought up before the next
meeting of the board to be formally
approved as the officials of the tourna-
ment.
Secretary Henry announced last night
that the association Is endeavoring to
induce Frank Daniels, the champion 5O
and 100-yard swimmer of the world,
to come to Los Angeles during the
carnival to swim in exhibition races.
a letter was forwarded to the eastern
swimmer Friday and until a reply is
received no definite action will be taken
to procure the attendance of some other
noted native or foreign swimmer.
Henry is confident, however, that Dam
iels will answer in the affirmative, as
the date is so far ahead that 1t will
not interfere with his other engage
ments. The presence of the New York
Athletic club idol undoubtedly would
attract the attendance and interest of
thousands of westerners who never
Llve had the opportunity of Witness
ing the wonderful swimmer in action.
There was some discussion among
the officials of the association regard
ing the probability of procuring the
sanction of the Amateur Athletic as
sociation of North America to hold the
national swimming championship in
Los Angeles in conjunction with the
Pacific coast championships. There
will be another meeting of the officials
tomorrow, and at that time it is proba-
BILE this action will be taken.

ly. Picturesque costuming adds much
to the choruses.
There is much worth while in the bill
at the Empire this week. Henri French,
we'll remembered locally through former
engagements at the Orpheum, provides
the headline act with his clever imper-
sonations and dextrous juggling. Mr..
French does some lightning changes
and presents limitations of John Phillip
Sousa, of Morris Levy, Liszt, Won Suppe,
Strauss, Metra, the French waltz king,
and even the immortal Wagner. Also
he presents the well known Jekyll-Hyde
metamorphosis. His juggling of eggs.
cigars, pieces of paper, hats, ETC., is
extremely well done.
Little behind him in popularity with
| the house last evening were the balanc-
ing feats of Wilfred and his wonderful
| little dog Lottie. Wilfred, who pos
sesses marvellous development so far as
the strength of his arms and torso is
concerned, walks up and down stairs
on his hands His dog initiates his
every move.
The Misses Randalin and Francesca
Ru Sselle offer pleasing little divertise-
ment in their singing act. Miss Fran
cesca wears some stunning gowns and
sings "In a Taxicab" with her sister.
who is very up-to-date and attractive
"boy." Then the "boy" sings a bari
tone solo quite as If she never did any
thing but wear male attire and sing
mems songs, and the two finish up
with some dainty little dance steps.
Illustrated songs by Nellie Hill and
For a Woman's Honor" by the stock
company complete a program entirely
satisfactory and the best seen in the
house for months.
A musical comedy by f. Clifford Har-
ris. entitled "The Persian Cat" was
we'll received at the Unique last night.
The sketch, which takes up the entire
time, has an oriental coloring, and
many catchy songs and choruses, with
a lot of amusing comedy. Among the
musical numbers which received en-
cores were MY Six Little Wives
sung by Hugh Metcalf; "Tipperary''
by Billy Onslow; 1.-THE Kiss" by
Maude Beatty; st Don't Like the
Searchlight," by Make Mitchell ''HoW
Would You Like to Take Honeymoon
With Me?" by Olga Stech, and DIANA
by Millar Bacon. Among the chorus
numbers were 1.-THE Lotus" and "The
Cat Came Back"
The scene is laid in Persia. Hugh
Metcalf plays the shah; Maude Beatty,
a dashing American widow; Make
Mitchell, a Greek slave, keeper of tho
cat; Olga Stech, Marion Love, in love
with Alfred Chase, played by Millar
Bacon. James Lee, as Heine Snoz-
bosher a Dutch millionaire; Billy Ons-
low, as GaZooka, the court sorcerer.
and Marie Barber as Carolina SnoZ
,bosher, fill the comedy roles.

ANGELS PLAY BEAVERS TODAY

The Angels take on Judge Mercedes
Beavers this afternoon in the first
game of the series of six to be played
at the Chutes this week, and the old
grudge will be up for settlement again.
Probably the Portland aggregation is
worse afflicted with the green-eyed
monster than all the other rivals of the
Angels for the Coast league rag.
The fans are not turning out to these
games as they should. No other city
in the country would show as little in
terest in a home team that was run
ming away with a league pennant as
the Angels are doing, and 1t is not CIV
ing Hen Berry and his champion bunch
the right kind Of support. The season
will end in four weeks, and the fans
should jam the grandstand and bleach
ers at every game.
Only this kind Of attendance would
be the proper evidence of appreciation
of the great and classy game the boys
have been putting up all season. Make
the final games memorable for the large
attendance.

CUcAMoNGA MAN LOSES FORTY
DOLLARS AND BANK BOOK
Had Premonition of Misfortune and
Had Concealed $50 in His Shoe
Only a Short Time
Before

B. p. Caldwell, superintendent of the
Cucamonga Water company, was as
saulted by two highwaymen on Fresno
street, between Second and Third
streets, Boyle Heights, at 1870 o'clock
last night and robbed of $40 and a
bank book. He was rendered uncon-
scious by the blow, but regained his
senses while the men were searching
his pockets and secured a good de-
scription of them.
Caldwell lives in Cucamonga. He ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday morn
ing for the purpose of purchasing an
automobile. He visited a person in
Boyle Heights, inspected a motor car
and was on his way back to town. He
was walking along Fresno street to the
car line, and while between Second
and Third streets was attacked from
behind by the robbers. Before he had
an opportunity to defend himself he
was dealt a terrific blow on the head
and knocked to the sidewalk, where
he was robbed.
Shortly previous to the robbery
Caldwell had premonition that he
would meet with some misfortune. He
had $100 in gold in his purse and took
$50 and placed it in his shoe. This
money was not found by the men.
When the victim was able to stand
up he staggered to the car line and
boarded a Boyle Heights and Jefferson
street car He told his story to the
car crew and they in turn notified the
police station. The patrol wagon met
the car at Third and Main streets.
and Caldwell was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital where Police Surgeon
Summer J. Quint stitched lacera-
tion one inch long in CaldwelPs head.
The injured man does not know what
instrument was used to infiict the
wound, but thinks he was struck with
small club.
Although weak from the force of the
blow and the amount of blood he lost,
Caldwell is not seriously injured.

THE FINAL REUNION.

A solemn rite of blessed peace,
or brotherhood which will not cease,
Was that in which the flags of yore.
Once waving DER fierce fields of gore
In bitter fight, were side by side
Placed with an equal love and pride,
Willis reverent bent was every brow
Rivals once, but comrades now.
So were the men who saw that rite,
Till tears from full hearts dimmed thei
sight;
The men in gray, the men in blue,
Each to his own traditions true,
Yet clasping hands in friendship real,
AS brave men tried by brave mems steel
Both fain to mutual emblems bow,
Rivals once, but comrades now.
Now side by side those tattered flags
OF which the state, united, brags,
Are type of mutual amity,
From all i'll will and feeling free,
Of how one nation hold to-day
In common love, the blue and gray,
AS meath one flag they willing bow,
Rivals once, but comrades now.

ONE WIFE IN HARD TIMES.
Financial Reasons Made Him Disbe-

S. P. Orth, assistant United States

representative at naturalization
hearing over in Toledo the other day.
The applicant for papers, a Ger
man, who ran mostly to mustache, had
answered all of the questions that
had been put to him satisfactorily.
And do you believe in the princi-
pies of polygamy?" asked the judge,
in ponderous tones.
Sure" says the German, for the
word sounded as if it was something
that he ought to be in favor Of. Like
as not it was something about the
constitution.
do you know what 'polygamy'
means?" thundered the judge.
The applicant confessed that the
word was new one on him.
well, I'll make it plain to you,"
said the court. sternly. Can you get
along with one wife?"
"Shure," replied the applicant, earn
estly; "one's a plenty, the way prices
are. e."-Toledo Blade.

A GOOD SHOT.
SkepticaI Confederate Soldier Found
the Yankee Soldiers Could Shoot.

At three a. M, December z, 1862,
Herron's division, army OF the frontier,
reached Fayetteville, Ark, on a
forced march 10 reinforce Gen. Blunt.
who, with his division, was located at
Cane Hill, Ark, and threatened under
| Hindman, writes an old soldier in the
National Tribune. Resting until a.
M, we resumed the march through
valley between two spurs of Boston
mountains. About a. IN. our ad-
vance was attacked by confederate
cavalry under Marmaduke, which we
repulsed, but from that on the adj
vance brigade marched in line of bat
tie for about two miles, at which point
we halted while battalion of cavalry
was sent ahead to reconnoiter. While
standing there some one noticed
man on the side of the mountain fully
mile in our front and on our left
flank. The generals attention was
called to it, and after looking at him
through his field glass, has adjutant-
general, VIM. Hyde Clark, rode over
to battery standing in line with us,
and at once a gun opened fire on the
party. The first shot struck to the
right of the tree, the second below,
but the third struck the body of the
tree and shattered it so 1t toppled
over, and we plainly saw the man
running away from it along the side
of the mountain. Now for the sequel.
In Fort Smith, Ark, in 1887, while
talking to a confederate captain about
the battle of Prairie Grove, Ark, of
which this incident was a prelude, the
writer mentioned this incident. He
found the captain knew all about it,
for the man belonged to his company,
and the captain, with his company,
was just over the crest watching us.
He said the mans name was Josiah
Carter, and that in the battle which
followed he was shot through the hips
and died on the battlefield the night
following. The captain dismissed the
subject by saying: Josh thought the
Yankees couldn't shoot, but found out
he was mistaken" The gun, a three
inch steel rifle, belonged to Battery
F, 1st Mo. l.. A. When | read of the
efficiency of our naval gunners 1t
liC lSSi pIOuu VI puI
shooting at target across level water
is one thing; shooting from valley
at man in tree on the side of
mountain above is quite another thing.
The incident referred to is very hard
to excel, even with all the range
finders and other enabling appliances
of the present day, and while we
proudly praise the gunners of to-day
don't let us forget those of 1876.
They did not have quick-firing guns.

men they furnished sweet music dur

IN HONOR OF EXPLORERS.
Sun Dial Erected for Navieators Who
Discovered California.

The ceremony of the unveiling of a
sun dial erected in honor of Fortune
Jiminiez, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo and
Sir Francis Drake, the first three navi-
gators to explore the California coast,
took place in Golden Gate park short
time ago ON the four hundred and
fourteenth anniversary of the discov-
cry of America This interesting mon
ument is a gift to San Francisco from
the National Society of Colonial
Danes, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
The sun dial, which has been placed
in front of the south wing of the park
museum and which is the only sun dial
in Golden Gate park, Is the creation of
Sculptor Earl Cummings. In it one
sees beauty and dignity from a dis
tance and 1t loses nothing through
close examination. Across the face of
this solar timepiece is inscribed the
lines, "Horam sole nolente neco,"
which to the student of dead language
translates, IT tell not the hour when
the sun will not" The truth of the
legend is obvious.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on erape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food.
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
densed milk on which 1 fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One of
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared 1t as
follows: l soaked ~ tablespoonfuls
In one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then l strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in a pinch of salt
and little sugar, warmed it and gave
1t to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way I saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect as
this. can truthfully say think 1t
is the best food In the world to raise
delicate babies on, and Is also a deli
cious healthful food for grown-ups as
we have discovered in our family"
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to
the strong. healthy man or woman. 1t
stands for the true theory of health.

into play.
Il directed the sergeant to bring
Uncle Robert up with his knapsack.
He reported, carrying that article and
a huge bundle of traps tied up in a
blanket. Never was such miscellan-
eous lot of stuff put into so small a
space before or since. There was al
most everything in the way of small
notions; shoe-strings, socks of all
sizes, and old clothing of every de-
scription.
Perhaps the funniest thing of all
was an old cast-iron cook-stove which
he had come across in some deserted
house, taken to pieces and carefully
packed among the clothing.
Il ordered most of the things thrown
into the fire, a proceeding which near
ly broke the old mans heart, but
which greatly reduced the weight of
his knapsack."
