CLERKS WANT STORES TO
CLOSE EARLY AT ONTARIO
Probable That Public Sentiment VIII
Force Merchants to Comply
with Requests

ONTARIO, April 2S-The clerks OF
the various stores in this town are
earnestly advocating early closing dur
ing the summer months. They nave
organized themselves into what Is
known as the Ontario Clerks assocla-
ton and are making strong efforts 10
obtain the backing of the proprietors
in the movement.
Much literature has been circulated
and a tag day was held recently, more
than 5000 of the tags being distributed
bearing the words EARLY Closing" At
the present time e. r. jenkins, the
secretary of the association; is sending n,1dn
out return postcards to each merchant
in the town, asking him to give "a a
definite answer as to whether he VIII
close at 6 o'clock during the months OF
summer, irrespective of what the other
merchants do. -
This is being done because hve OIL
the proprietors refused to close at the
proposed time 1t is probable, from the
present outlook, that all the merchants
will agree to the demands OF tne
clerks, so strong is the public sentl-
ment in their favor.

W. G. TAYLOR SUFFERS
STROKE OF APOPLEXY
Newspaper Man viii Recover, but He
Will Probably Be Partially
Paralyzed on His
Right Side

William G. Taylor, one of the oldest
in point of service and most popular
newspaper men in Los Angeles, was
stricken with apoplexy while he was
talking to friend in the office of the
Los Angeles Examiner last night.
Mr.. Taylor, who is employed on the
city hall detail of that paper, had COM
pleted his work for the day and was
preparing to go to his home at 2S5S
West Pico street, when he suddenly fell
forward on his face and was picked up
unconscious. Physicians were sent for
at once, and Drs. Wellborn and Quint
responded and did all that was possible
to revive the stricken man. Still UNI
conscious, he was removed in an ambu-
lance to the Good Samaritan hospital.
DIR. Quint, who is the family physi-
clan, stated that while Mr. Taylor
would recover from the stroke he would
probably be ever afterward partially
paralyzed on the right side, an affiic-
ton which will materially interfere
with the practice of his profession.
Billy Taylor, as he was Familiarity and
affectionately known to hundreds in
Los Angeles, has been engaged in news
paper work in this city for the past
twenty years and has been employed
at various times on The Herald, the
Times, Express and Examiner, serving
as managing editor, city editor, detail
reporter and general assignment man.
He is one of the most companionable of
men, and as a newsgatherer has few
equals in the profession His long and
intimate acquaintance with public men
and the affairs of the city made him
particularly valuable man to any news
paper which commanded his services.
His hundreds of friends both in Los
Angeles and elsewhere will be shocked
to learn of his affiliction, and on none
excepting the members of his family
will the blow fall more heavily than
on the newspaper boys and city officials
with whom he was a daily associate.

"AS YOU LIKE IT" IS
AUDITORIUM BILL
Afternoon and Evening Performances
Close Delightful Engagement of
Greet Players and Rus
sian Symphony
BY FLORENCE RosARD LAWRENCE


"As You Like 1t" was given rather
commonplace production yesterday
afternoon at the. Auditorium by the
Ben Greet players, with scenery and
lowered a curtain to mark the close
of the acts. The change from the
beautiful productions which have pre-
coded this one was decided.
The announced combination, THE
Pastoral Symphony" (BeethoVen) ana
GAS You Like It. suggests a picture
of rustic and woodland pleasure, sure
to give delight to the eye and ear
alike As a matter of fact, however,
the movements of the symphony were
rendered during the entire acts and a
lowered curtain and full strength lights
produced such a babel of conversation
in the audience at the same time that
it was impossible to hear any but the
more robust portions of the music.
Many real lovers of Beethoven, who
had hoped to enjoy the symphony were
obliged to miss fully half its beauties
because of giggling, laughter and even
loud-toned conversations all about
them.
Milton Rosmer played Orlando with
success, especially in his scenes with
Rosalind, and Violet Vivian and Irene
Rookie as Celia and Rosalind were both
happy in their court dresses and
charming in the disguise assumed for
their running away. Ruth Vivian add
ed to her long list of successes, playing
the country girl Audrey.
Various songs and dances by the
country folk were introduced with
good results and tie audience found
much to applaud in the drama, al
though the exquisite strains of Bee
thoven failed TO make the appeal that
would have followed had it been heard
in the half light that forces more con-
centrated attention.
The last matinee of the Greet players
and the Russian Symphony orchestra
will be given at the Auditorium this
afternoon at o'clock. Patrons should
be i'm their seats promptly at owing
to the length and great beauty of the
Mendelssohn overture. This will be the
last presentation of Shakespeare S
Midsummer Nights Dream
For the evening performance the first
half of the evening will be given to a
sian composers and their best works.
The second half of the evening will be
given over to the outdoor scenes of
LAS You Like IT. with the Beethoven
Pastoral Symphony for incidental
music.
The ShrlnerS are to be congratulated
upon the merit of their spring festival
this year, for in presenting the Greet
players and the Russian Symphony or
chestra they have given the public not
only something of surprising beauty
both to the eye and the ear, but some
thing of exceptional value from an ed
vocational viewpoint. 1t has been rare
great fortune to witness such presen-
tatiOns as those given by this joint
combination of complete symphony or
chestra and the well known Greet play
ers. The symphonic numbers for this
evening are. Sunrise on the Moskva
River" MUsorgski; two movements,
symphony No. 6, pathetique, Tschai-
koWsky, Caucasian sketches, Ippolitoff
lVanoW; intermission; the pastoral
symphony, melodrama, Beethoven.

Support the Church.

The Rev Robert NJ. Green, pastor Of the Sum

prominent clergymen in Brooklyn. read his res

planned that his resignation caused by the
congregations failure 10 sustain the work finan-

Mrs. Taft's Plan to Furnish Rem

resident society will avail itself Of the opportunity
70 combine a delightful drive at the fashionable
hour of the day with the pleasure of listening to

military establishment of the United States
incidentally this will do away with the so-called
White House concerts a custom instituted by
President Grant and designed originally TO prove
OF entertainment to Washington society-an ex
pectation which was never realized. Political con-
siderations made IL necessary open the White
House grounds, where the concerts were given on
Saturday afternoons TO the general public. and they
soon became rendezvous for the negro pOpula-
ton rather than for society. 1t has been the Gus
tom also for the Marine Band to give concerts on
Wednesdays in the summer on the east front Of
the Capitol. but they will doubtless give place to
the new order.
OF course. Potomac Park will also be open to the
general public but 1t is expected that society will
be seen chiefly in carriages automobiles, while
the ample space will afford opportunity for all to
hear the concerts without crowdng, and the broad
path which parallel to the driveway will en-
able pedestrians to share the enjoyment, although
the distance from streetcar line may deter some
