The republican managers realize that

political calibre of Cortelyou or OF
Loeb or of Hitchcock won't do. They
want a Mark Hanna to save the party
from defeat.
They realize that it is only by the
most skillful management that Mr..
Taft can be landed in the White House.

Roosevelt was able to hand the nomin-

awaken the enthusiasm which has

A Napoleon of politics is needed to
save the day. If Mark Hanna were yet
alive and in his prime and would take
hold of the republican machine with
the same vigor he did in 1896, Candi-

the most impressive production of the

accomplishment with the greatest per-

boards of that historic playhouse. The
play presented was the version pre-

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

There is value in the strenuous in

the camp life incident thereto. The
nearer the hardships of those marches,
and the life in those camps to the con-
ditions of actual warfare the more
valuable the instruction. It is not so
much the proficiency in drill and tao
tics-wherein Improvement follows
from the new system Of long marches
and the rougner camp life. These the

cause they constitute that part of the
militia business that is attractive to
him. The manual of arms and COM
pany drill may be mastered in the
armory as we'll as in the field and in
the broader tactics of battalion and
regimontal drill and brigade maneu-
vers neither long marches nor the
strenuous instruction of camp hard
ship are necessary.
Above this matter of drill and tao
tics, or rather, accompanying it as
an essential, is the course of inStruc-
ton which teaches the raw soldier
how to take care of himself under adj
verse conditions, such as he is likely
to encounter in actual warfare. 1t is
the hygiene and the economy of camp
life, and of the march, that the militia
man needs to learn, as was demon
strated in our war with Spain; and
it is these things which the later field
maneuvers are intended to teach, ana
which they do teach in marked de-

the private soldier in his individual
capacity must learn that an important
part Of his duty is to look out for

scrupulous care of his REQUIREMENT

WIFE FIGHTS HUSBAND
FOR CUSTODY OF CHILD
MUST TAKE BABY TO SUPERIOR
COURT
Father Asserts Mother Is Not a Fit
Person to Have Care of Little One.
Makes Serious Charges
Against Character

Mrs. Anna l.. Burnett reached Los
Angeles from San Diego on Wednesday
with her 2-year-old baby, Charles, and
yesterday appeared in the superior
court to dispute the claims of her hus-
band, Charles d. Burnett, that she is
not fit person to have the custody Of
the child.
Burnett on March 10 filed suit for di-
vorce from his wife, who, he claims, is
addicted to strong drink, and it was to
have the child placed in his charge that
the action of yesterday was brought
about.
Mrs. Burnett, according to her hus-
bands statements, left her home in Los
Angeles on December 81 for a ten days
visit with her mother and stepfather at
San Diego, and when she refused to
return after he had written many re-
quests to do so, the divorce suit was
filed.
The strongest allegation by the hus-
band was that his wife frequently at
tended dances with her stepfather
while in San Diego, and later drank
beer in cafes attached to saloons.
Until this divorce action is taken up
1 do not believe it would be wise for
me to order any change in regard to
the child" said Judge Monroe, "but /
don't want child to live with a wom-
an who will go into the back rooms of
saloons. 1t is no place for her, whether
she is accompanied by her stepfather
or anyone else. The mother will have
to quit this dancing and drinking or
there will be a change made"
The mother was then told to have the
child in court when the divorce suit is
called.

Women's Clubs
Musicale at Friday MORNING. Club

That the women of Los Angeles are
lovers of music, especially music that
conveys the hidden emotions of peas
ant hearts, was attested by the throng
which overflowed from the auditorium
into the halls and parlors and even
the garden of the Friday Morning club
during the recital given yesterday by
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Clifford Lott.
Mr.. and Mrs Lott have lately re-
turned from an extended stay in Eu-
rope, and while there they made g
study of the foreign masters. The Sc
lections given yesterday were from
Russian composers and the weird melo-
dies mingled the pathos and hope OF
that down-trodden race.
The theme OF most of the compost
tions was love, the universal theme OF
mankind, one being the plant of a
forsaken swain, another the alteration
of an humble suitor. and still another
the triumphant eXultation of heart
beloved.
Though a few of the songs were OF
victory, most of them were sad with
that minor note of yearning peculiar
to the music and poetry of an imag-
NATIVE people.
Mrs, Lott rendered with rare SYM
pathy the instrumental numbers "Ro-
manza," by Rachmaninoff; "Humor-
esque," by Tschaikowsky, and "Medi-
tation," by Tschaikowsky.
Mr.. Lott, who possesses a baritone
voice of exquisite quality and express
sion, sang the following songs, trans
lated from he Russian: ''Der Adler
by Arensky; "Irhe Enchanted Prin'
cess" by Borodine; "Die drei Lieder,'
bv Nawratil; LIE cell entr-ouvre SCI
voiles," Cui; Abandon Cui
"Maimes tu BELIEF" Cui; Der Eel
sen." Napravnik; "Aus dem Jenseits,
Tschaikowsky. and 'Schlaf elm, be-
truebtes Lieb," Tschaikowsky
The following English translation OF
a song by Cui, which means "a Star
Falls Down." will give an idea of the
composers charming idealism:
"A star falls down from the spark
ling heights. 1t is the star of love l
see falling there. The leaves and bios
SONS fall from the apple tree. The
frolicsome breezes chase them in play.
Singing the swan floats up and down
the placid lake, and, ever softly singing,
plunges beneath the waves. 1t Is so
dark and still. Scattered are leaves
and flowers, the star with a crash is
destroyed Alas! the swans last song
is sung
At the conclusion of the program
luncheon was served by the women OF
the club.

SAYS BANK WILL PAY
ALL ITS DEP0SIT0Rs
Representative of Stockholders APP
pears In Court and Asks That No
Appointment of a Receiver
Be Made

Arguments for and against a continu-
ance in the appointment of a receiver
for the Long Beach Savings bank were
heard by Judge James yesterday, who
later announced he would render de-
cision Monday.
A petition for a receivership was
granted some time ago, but the appoint
ment has been postponed in order to
give the officials of the bank an oppor-
tunity, If possible, to place the banks
condition on a solid basis.
John DAILY, representing the bank S
officials, said the bank was regaining Its
former strength, and requested a con-
tinuance of the appointment; while
Fred Knight, who said he represented
a large number of depositors, asked the
appointment be made at once, and
urged the Los Angeles Trust company
be named as receiver, which action was
opposed by DAILY and those associated
with him, who want Long Beach man
appointed.
The bank, according to a statement
to the court yesterday, now owes de-
positors $449,933 and has a cash balance
of $4,000.

EVIDENCE
FOR SALE
LAWYER SAYS WITNESS MADE
PROPOSITION
DEMANDED $500 FOR TIME SPENT
AT TRIAL
Serious Charges Made by Attorney in
Case Against Street Car Conn.,
pany-Father and Son
Accused

A sensational incident entered into
the proceedings of the suit of Mrs. Eff
fie X. Cowles against the Los Angeles
Interurban Railway company, the trial
of which was begun yesterday in the
superior court.
This was nothing less than q state
ment by the attorney for the railway
company that one of the two witnesses
on whose testimony the plaintiff de-
pended for a favorable termination OF
the action had offered to make state
ments on the witness stand in favor OF
the company if the latter would recip-
rocate by paying him $500.
Mrs. Cowles sued the company for
$25, 600 on account of the death of her
husband, Albert E. Cowles, formerly a
probate judge of Lansing, Mich, who
was killed N November last when a
car struck him as he was crossing Har-
ward street.
The car, according to the complaint,
was on its way to the barns on Geor-
gia street and was behind time.
There were but two witnesses to the
accident-John E. Cursey, a plastering
contractor living at 1862 f street, and
his son, Arthur Cursey.
The son in his testimony said Cowles
attempted TO cross LHe Street WlIHOul
looking either to the right or left, thus
apparently showing contributory neg
ligence.
When the father was questioned he
declared Cowles had looked up and
down the street, but his testimony at
the coroners inquest was introduced,
in which he stated the former judge
had exercised no precautions.
Makes Startling Charges
did you not come to my Office this
morning and say it was worth $500 for
your time and that of your son to
come to the court and testify; that you
knew enough about the case to put the
plaintiff out of business? And did I
not say that If I bought testimony 1t
would be a states prison offense, and
you asked, What of it?'" demanded
Attorney Norman Sterry, for the de-
fense.
Cursey admitted he had placed this
value on his time, but denied that Ster-
ry had said anything about states
prison.
Frank Fowler, claim agent for the
railway company, said he had called all
the witnesses to his office on Tuesday
last and at that time the elder Cursey
had called him into the hallway and
endeavored to secure money for the
time spent in court. Fowler said he
told Cursey he would not purchase his
testimony and asked him to return
later. Cursey admitted, in substance,
all that was told by Fowler.
