Strange Sounds Heard
Weird sounds occasionally may be
heard bursting from the walls of the
tiny eating place, and no one but q
linguist possibly could understand the
tenor of the peculiar phrases which are
waited out on the breeze. Schubert
speaks six languages and Harding
four, and they declare it is easy to
argue or swear in any which they nave
in their repertoire. Suppose Harding
gets the best of Schubert in German
argument, Schubert switches to oily
Italian phrases, and, when apparently
having the mastery of his partner, the
other suddenly turns the tide of battle
by switching the Wordfest to Spanish.
Back and forth they veer and then hit
the witty and expressive French IAN
guage a vituperative jolt, and at last
the far-reaching English comes in as
a Blucher at Waterloo and turns the
battle for the man who gets there first.
Any cook who thinks that he can get
by with anything not on the program
is quickly disillusioned, for the two
partners swear at him in SO many Ian
guages as to bewilder even a cook, and
if the cook then still persists in re-
fusing to listen to the voice of reason
he gets 1t where the lady wore the
beads, for early In life Schubert was a
prize fighter and also Harding was a
celebrated German wrestler. If you
don't happen to enjoy your food at
this place it is better to call UP on the
phone and tell them about 1t.
The sizzling fried egg now supplants
the hiss of speeding rifle ball, the clash
and roar of dish pans the turmoil of
battle, and in place of khaki-clad enc
mics the only visible foe is the white
uniformed cook and the only probable
victor over the indomitable fighters is
the silent old man with the sickle. May
the day of his triumph be far off!

firing a shot a mob took Albert Law

SALOON KEEPERS TO

RUMORED THAT LIQUOR MEN

Especial to The Herald.l

SAN PEDRO, July 2O-While up to
this time no organized opposition to
consolidation has been noted, persls-
tent rumors are afloat today that the
saloon men have perfected their organ
ization and are holding secret meetings
to prepare to fight the consolidation
election which will be held August II.
City Trustee N. w. Tilton, principal
owner in the San Pedro Wholesale COM
pany, which supplies the saloons here,
is said to have openly talked for con-
solidation but to be secretly fighting the
measure.
Several saloon men who have mani
tested a weakness toward consolidation
of late are now said to have been
forced into line to oppose it, and the
whisky ring" backed by the breweries
of Los Angeles, are reported from vari-
Gus sources as having started the cam
paign to defeat the merger in order that
the political control by the saloon in
terests may not be lost to these few
men who have, perchance, something
to lose when the cities unite and
everyone receives benefit.

POLICEMAN WINS IN LONG
SWIFT RACE ON BICYCLES
Overtakes Mexican Youth Alleged to
Have Robbed Room of
Japanese

After a long, swift race on bicycles
in which a Mexican youth was pitted
against Patrolman John p. Fitzgerald
last night, the policeman won and the
youth was placed in central station on
suspicion.
The boy whose name is given as M.
Rodriuuez, was found in the room of
X. Oharo, Japanese at 11S North Gen.
trail avenue. There, it is alleged, he
changed his worn suit of clothes for a
good one owned by the Japanese, and
took watch and a number of small
trinkets.
When Rodriguez saw the officer com
ing he jumped on bicycle and rode
swiftly away. Fitzgerald jumped on
another wheel and pursued, and after
following for ten blocks, overlook and
captured him.

Escaping death as a spy, he returned

battles as well as engagements of
guerrilla nature. 1t was during the
long campaigns after his return from
service as a military spy tEat he be-
came acquainted with Col. FRANCOIS
Wilton, a direct descendant Of the i'm
mortal "cut-purse poet" of that name,
and they spent many a convivial hour
together in the interims of bloodshed
and eventually formed an attachment
of friendship which has never been
severed.
Has Praise for British
While still moved to explosions Of rage
whenever the English armies are men
toned, Schubert has praise for one
British celebrity whom he says he
knew well personally. The heroic and
impetuous Sir Hector Mcdonald, whose
spectacular career from private soldier
to major general is known to all men
in the right little, tight little isle"
was a personal friend of the com
mander of the "Desperadoes, and both
before the war, while Mcdonald was
in johannesburg, and later when he
visited st. Helena, where Schubert was
prisoner, the gallant Scot, whose
dramatic suicide in Paris startled the
world did not forget his gallant but
less eXhalted friend.
Wounds, one of which perforated the
right lung and came from long range

Boer Soldier of Fortune
and Leader of Guerrilla
Forces Now Restaurant
Keeper in Los Angeles
gUHE voice of a man who formerly

N HE voice of a man who formerly
shouted commands i'm six different
II languages to a desperate legion of
men of iron with nerves of steel, who
combated the armies of Great Britain
throughout the South African war, no
longer is heard above the din of bat
tie and is raised only above the level
of whisper when ordering beef and
or making a request to FRY three y
Where once the slaughter of his fellow
men engrossed the attention of Max
Schubert, soldier of fortune and Boer
desperate, the immolation of a sheep
or calf and its consequent price in the
marts of trade now occupies his mind,
and the only value attached to an abll-
ity to speak six separate and distinct
languages is that it practiclly insures
being understood when he desires to
chide a recalcitrant cook.
Marked with the scars of many
wounds which have perforated his
body until It resembles a gigantic
Swiss cheese, the tired hero of many
battles has retired for life and now
ekes out his existence as the proprietor
of a little restaurant in Seventh street
in this city.
Was Once Wealthy
Schubert possessed a fortune of
100000 before the Boer war broke out
and he was the proprietor Of a big ho-
tel in johannesburg which was built
for the accommodation of the hordes
Of Cornish miners who packed the
town. There he carelessly weighed gold
dust or accepted diamonds in payment
for hotel bills, but now he shows fully
as much interest in obtaining a nickel
for your ham sandwich or serving a
three-course meal for Is cents as he
did in the days when money came fast.
Now he serves a clam choWder with
the air of a man who is treating you
to pate de fol gras, potted capon or
omellette soufhe.
A native of Hanover, Germany,
Schubert went to South Africa and
settled in johannesburg five years be-
for the beginning of the Boer war.
While acquiring money there, he also
acquired Boer sympathies, and when
the call to war came in 1899 he raised
a command of foreign legionaries, COM
posed of desperate characters drawn
from Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy
Germany, France Russia and the Scan
dlnavian peninsula. These were known
as "Schuberts Desperadoes," and
throughout the war they lived up to
their name in the many desperate bat
ties In which they took part. The Irish
predominated in this fighting body, and
for once they permitted themselves to
be commanded by "Dutchman" be-
cause of his reputation as a fighter In
the battles of Spion Kop, Elangslagte,
Pradeburg and the Modder river. the
fighting mixture of fearless men 'dis-
played great gallantry and received
special mention from Gen. Christian
DeWett, under whose immediate COM
mand they remained.
Detailed as Spy
Schubert was detailed for duty as a
spy shortly after the command had
been thoroughly organized, and for
three months he riskeG his life by pen

They find others who are equally indisposed to venture out of reach of comfortable hotels, the daily papers with the stock reports and sporting news, with the other lux uries of civilization to be found here to some degree. They see game enough, but 1t Is the species that has to do with pasteboard affairs and is pursued in a comfortable corner not far from the big, open fire of the ho- tel office

 Dancing, like other art. is the out come of strong feeling. and all primi- tive dancing is mimetic, a game of war or a game of some other power full interest These games are seen best today in the dances of savage raees-the splendid war-dances of the Zulus (inseparable from music, as are all light forms of dancing), and the lower dances of the baser races.

It matters little whether these English dances are really a survival of the old mimic warfare between pretended Moor and Christian, a game of war with all the malice knocked out of It. What does matter is tho survival of the game feeling in them, which makes their performance a true delight to the ev- arlasting child that stays Inside most of us, however old we grow.
