SUPERVISOR TO BE TRIED
AGAIN FOR ENLIGHTENMENT
Special to The Herald

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 2-J. F.
Frick, supervisor from the Fourth dis
trict, of which Lompoc constitutes the
major portion, who was indicted by a
grand jury last October on six charges,
funds and the sixth count being for
presenting a false and fraudulent
claim against the county, which action
was dismissed on account of a tech
nical flaw in the indictment, will be
tried again as soon as a new grand
jury is summoned.
District Attorney w. S. Day states
that he will present the charges made
against Frick to the next grand jury,
and will draw up the information as
he was instructed by the court to do at
the time the indictments were set aside
last December. If an Indictment shall
be returned by the grand jury it is the
determination of the district attorneys
office to prosecute vigorously the
charges against Frick.
The next grand jury will not be called
until September, according to Superior
Judge S. Eugene Crow.
Frick is a candidate for reelection
as supervisor in his district and re-
ceived the Endorsement of mass meet
ing held in Lompoc on last Saturday.
It is claimed by his opponents that the
meeting was stuffed by men employed
bv him on public work 1t is, how
ever, the general belief of many that
the candidacy of Frick is the cause of
the charges against him being pressed.
as the matter has been hushed up
since the defalcations were made good,

GAGS ON CRACKERS
EATEN DRY ON BET
First Package Easy, but Second Sticks
in Throat of Man, Who En-
dangers Life to Win
Wager

MONTCLAIR, N. j., August 2.-In
George Ellsworth's grocery store near
Jacksonville, Barton Longman made a
wager with George Wallen that Wal
len could not eat two large packages
of soda crackers within half an hour.
1t was stipulated that no liquids
were to be swallowed.
Wallen made short work of the first
package of crackers, but he had not
eaten a dozen of the second portion
when his mouth became .parched and
he swallowed with great difficulty.
Suddenly he began to gasp for breath,
and the spectators realized that he
was choking.
One of the dry mouthfuls of crack
ers stuck in his parched throat. There
was panic among the spectators, but
Mr.. Ellsworth had presence of mind
enough to run two doors away and
summon DR.. w. J. Bull. By the adj
ministration of heroic remedies DIR.
Bull caused the strangling man to dis
gorge the food and thus saved his life.

PARIS, Aug. 2.-The twenty-four-
hour general strike with which the
city is threatened tomorrow is the sole
topic of conversation in Paris tonlgnt.
While there are no signs of panic,
such as preceded the May day manl-
festations in 1906, considerable anxlety
and indignation prevail in the pubic
mind. The press, almost without ex-
ception. reprehends the intolerant be-
haVior of the revolutionary section OF
the general labor organization ana
urges on the government the sup
preston of it as the only means OF
removing what it declares is a grow
ing menace TO society.
The authorities are confident they
have the situation well in hand. In
addition to the large police force OF
Paris. the regular garrison numbers
%, 900 men, and this force, 1t is held'
is ample to assure order. Inc trooPs

the general labor federation mas re-
ceived the adhesions of unions ami

900 workers, including tne ,Iit1,a CAT ttHs' q
commercial travellers, silversmlths'

butchers, bakers, hotel employees, etc.
Very few Of the unions refused TO
issue a strike order for tomorrow IN
compliance with the federations IN
Structions.
Early today bill stickers began TO
placard walls with a most Vloleht
proclamation which explains that TO-
morrows strike is in protest against
the action of the government In pre-
pairing an ambush and turning loose
the soldiery, who by charging and SAP
ering had stung the manifestants into
thus giving the troops an ex-
cuse for massacre. The authorities 40
not dare to announce the real NUMBER
of workers assassinated at Vigneaux.
The crime cannot pass unnoticed ara
the only reply possible is twenty
four hours strike"
The police arrested the bill stickers
and the manifestation was then dis
tributed in the form of hand bills.
The first signs this evening or
strike Was~when a number of printers
did not put in an appearance at the
offices and it is feared that
half of the journals will be unable to
print. Those offices where work is
are surrounded by police In
order to ward off attacks by militant
laborites.

NAVAL TURBINE TEST

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Officers of the
United States Navy are pleased with
the record made by the scout cruiser
Salem, which entered Boston harbor a
few days ago with the figures 26.SS
painted on her funnel to show the time
she had made in her second test. This

The Curtis turbine has been utilized

THE CAST
BY A. c. WELsHANS

HHE reception given the old fav-
orite, "The Judge and the jury"
- at two performances at the Bur-
bank yesterday promises another sea-
son of enthusiastic support for this
Morosco-Cottrellp product. Three years
ago Los Angeles witnessed the first
performance of this play, and then in
dulged in a demonstration of wild ap-
proVal that lasted five weeks. Accord
ing to the audiences yesterday Los An
geles is ready TO stand by its verdict
and repeat the demonstration in the
same hilarious fashion.
Not much is expected of hot weather
audiences, so that the manner they
went after curtain calls and the fervent
way they showed their love for the
hero and their faith in the virtue and
good name of the greatly wronged
heroine was proof that New York
decision doesn't go far with a Bur
bank audience. However, in behalf of
New York, it should be said that the
version given here is the one that came
wet from the fountain pen of Mr..
Iiorosco and not the revised affair
which the metropolis refused to ac-
cept. It has been generally agreed that
cooking the thing over spoiled it. There
are reasons to believe that some day
it will find its way quietly back into
New York in its original FORM and re-
ceive it's reward.
There are many in the cast who ap-
peared three years ago here and near
ly all the principals are the same. Big
William Desmond gets back into his
mining togs and misunderstands his
sweetheart in the same hearty fashion
he did then. The authors of the play
have very skillfully kept their hero
from being considered stupid by the
audience by just the slightest shade.
Too much praise cannot be given Mo-
rosco and Cottrell for their knowledge
of their players and their understand
ing of the sympathies of their audi
ences Few dramas could show Des-
mond to better advantage.
Miss Halls Maquita is another fea-
ture that is a three-year-old tradition.
Her plaintive, earnest pleading with the
hero not to misunderstood her is so
persuasive that 1t comes near making
Bill unpopular with the house when
all he can do is TO turn aside his pic
turesque profile and wiring his hands
until the famous muscles of his fore
arms show to best advantage. That
may be where New York got the
wrong idea. Los Angeles has known
Desmond for a long time and known
that he is a hero first last and forever.
The audiences yesterday showed by
their great applause and spontaneous
laughter that the drama is just as
much a favorite here as it was three
wears ago. There is no mistaking such
Judgment from two houses crowded to
the doors on a hot day. The cast is
altogether competent and some excel
lent stage management has been done
IN handling the mob. The scenic effects
are also deserving of high praise.

REMARKABLE PLAY COMES
TO THE MASON TONIGHT

OS ANGELES will be the third city
in the country to see Charles Ram
Kennedy's remarkable play, THE
Servant in the House," which opens
an engagement of one week at the Ma
son tonight. The authors wife, known
on the stage as Edith Wynne Matthison,
has an important role in the drama and
Mr.. Kennedy himself will come here with
the company.
"The Servant in the House" is a mod
ern morality play, socialistic In its ten
denotes. In New York, where 1t was first
produced last season, the drama was
praised as the finest and by all odds the
most impressive play of recent years. 1t
will be presented here by the New York
cast, with two exceptions, Edmund Ken
nedy having succeeded Charles Dalton in
the role of the Rev. william Smythe and
Miss Gladys Wynne now playing Mary
In place of Miss Mabel Moore.

WASHINGTON GIRLS ARE
HEALTHIER THAN BOYS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Examina-
ton of children under 16 years of age
who desire to work under the provisions
of the new child labor law of the Dis
trict of Columbia has demonstrated
that city girls are far healthier than
city boys. Out of a total of 100 chill
dren examined since June 30, the in
spectors have rejected seventy-five
boys for physical disability and only
two girls. The same proportion in the
matter of health, it is believed exists
In all the large cities of the country.
r. o. Wilmarth, who is in charge of
the examinations, gave out figures to
show that girls between u and is years
of age are far better qualified to battle
with the world than their brothers.
While the number of applicants for
permits to work includes more boys
than girls, yet the percentage of re-
jections in the case of the boys has oc-
casioned surprise. The lads, for the
most part, are found to be suffering
from heart and lung troubles.

CANNOT RAISE MONEY
PROBLEM FORMER INDIAN TER.
RlToRY MUST MEET.
Constitution Failed to Provide Method
for Obtaining Coin to Keep Gov.
ernment Moving Until Legis-
Iature Can Act.

Tulsa, I. T.-Indian Territory cele.
brated statehood with all sorts of
noise, but the serious minded part of
the community is wondering how the
many problems will be met.
On the Oklahoma side everything is
smooth and easy, because they have
had county government over there for
ten years, and it simply meant trans
fer of the accounts from the territory
to the state. But on the Indian Terri
tory side, where there has been not
single organized county, it means be-
ginning at the beginning and starting
things off. Forty-five counties went
into business on November 16, and
not one of them has a cent in the
treasury not one of them has a court
house or Jail, not one of them has as
much as a sheet of official paper on
which to record the minutes of the
first meeting of the county commits
sioner's court.
The jurisdiction of the United
States ended the minute the procla-
nation of the president went into eff.
new state has had to shift for itself.
1t must take care of the prisoners and
be responsible for all debts and so
on. 1t must provide an organized gov
ernment for the people according TO
the systems which obtain elsewhere.
Money is the great and pressing
question to start with. None of the
Indian Territory counties has any
and there is no way provided in the
constitution by which money for press
ing necessities can be obtained. The
constitution covers everything else
from the initiative and referendum to
the regulation of the procession of the
seasons, but the statesmen who
framed the document overlooked the
fact that until the legislature could
provide some way to keep the county
governments going the county govern
ments will be in trouble.
The most generally accepted theory
is that the commissioners of the In
dian Territory counties can issue
scrip till the legislature gives them
some authority for an orderly system
OF finance.
But scrip has terrors. The con-
tractors and the people who are to
furnish supplies, the printer men and
the rest will not take scrip except at
a great discount. 1t is the theory of
the contractors that many of the coun-
ties will not be able to redeem the
scrip for years and years, and while
they are taking the chance they might
as well play safe.
