THANKS HERALD FOR
DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY
MEMBER OF SEATTLE PARTY
TELLS OF TRIP
Miss Persy Richards Congratulates
Management of Paper on Its
Care for Comfort
of Guests

Expressions of appreciation and ap-
proval continue to pour into The Her
aid office from the members of the
party which visited the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition as the guests of Los
Angeles Herald. The writer's are en-
thusiastic in their praise of the oeau-
ties of the big Seattle show and OF the
treatment accorded them by The Her
aid management on the trip. A letter
received yesterday from Miss Persy
Richards is as follows:
Editor Herald: l wish to express 10
you. my deep appreciation for the de-
lightful trip 1 enjoyed through your
courtesy.
Wherever we went everyone We'd in
giving us a splendid time.
Our sail on the steamship President
was all that could be desired, the menl5 mem
bers of the crew doing all they coulu
to make our voyage pleasant one
The stewards were in constant attend
ance, ministering to our needs.
Some of us, of course, braVee the
storms with only an occasional rusn
for solitary confinement, coming up
looking innocent and peaceful, Wnlle
others had to submit entirely.
San Francisco opened its arms TO re-
ceive us, giving us of it's best, and we
were we'll taken care of at the beautl1ul
st. Francis hotel, where everything
was done for our comfort.
Some of us visited the Chinese rescue
home, where we saw sixty-hVe nttle
chinese girls who are being trained IN
the ways of Christianity.
We met the matron, Miss Donaldlna
Cameron, who is one of our Southern
California girls, and is doing much FOR
the Chinese slave girls, work that
few women would dare to undertake
Yet as we looked into her brave, sweet
face and noted the lines of strength,
we knew she would conquer in her
chosen work.
We enjoyed a trip around the city
and it was surprise to note how llttle
of the disaster was visible. Everywhere
tall blocks doomed up, covering nearly
all traces of the wreck of three years
ago.
We had ample time to visit the fair
as we passed two weeks in Seattle
visited Victoria, B. c., and the salmon
canneries at Bellingham, Wash, and
through it all having the best time.
Again let me thank you for the beau
tiful trip we enjoyed at your expense
and say that the memory will last.
I want also to indorse The Herald,
not only for contributing to our COM
fort. hut for its loyalty to the things
that are right, and for trying to bring
about better state of things, which In
time will bring its reward.
PERSY b. RICHARDS.

UNABLE TO REACH VERDICT
IN RESTAURATEUR'S CASE
Jury Disagrees After Trial of Man
Charged with Selling Liquor
on Election Day

After a trial lasting all day, the jury
in the case of B. N. Jangradov1ch,
charged with selling liquor election
day, Aug. A, reported last night it was
unable to reach a verdict and was dis
missed by Police Judge Frederickson.
The jury was evenly divided, standing
six to six, it is said.
The complaint alleged that Jangra-
dovich, proprietor of the Queen res
taurant and saloon, 234 North Main
street, furnished liquors to patrons of
the restaurant during the day of the
special consolidation election.
The defense maintained the beer bot
ties found by the raiding patrolmen.
Wyckoff and Clifford, had been emptied
by employees of the restaurant.
A great number of witnesses were
called, the patrolmen testifying they
found beer bottles empty but cold and
glasses which had contained beer.
They testified to a scuffle that ensued
during the raid, in which some of the
evidence had been destroyed.
Action by the police commission had
been taken previously on Jangrado-
vich's case, resulting in the revocation
of his liquor license.
